Chapter 5 Office_1

"When Xiaotang married him, I never felt that he really liked Xiaotang. But as long as Xiaotang is happy, it's fine. If Jiang Yuanrui can keep up the act for a lifetime, then there's no problem."

The man's voice was deep, yet Shen Chu'an couldn't take any of it in.

Her mind was groggy and muddled, barely able to discern from the man's expression that he wasn't very pleased at the moment.

Why?

Because Jiang Yuanrui kept staring at her?

"I really don't know him, husband..."

Shen Chu'an's hands were tied, so she couldn't wrap her arms around the man's neck to act coquettishly. Instead, she just pressed her face against him, gently rubbing against his rough palm.

Her wet face with its vine-like black hair exposed her red eyes, making Fu Huaichen's palm itch uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but cover them.

For a long while.

"Say, you will stay far away from Jiang Yuanrui from now on."

Noticing that Shen Chu'an was just squirming uncomfortably, without paying any attention to his words, Fu Huaichen had to repeat himself patiently, his well-defined, slender fingers teasing between her lips, seemingly indifferent.

"Speak."

Shen Chu'an's weepy and panting voice came to a halt, and she could only obediently repeat after him.

"I... will stay far away from Jiang Yuanrui... from now on."

Only then did Fu Huaichen feel completely satisfied.

...

The next day, Shen Chu'an unsurprisingly woke up late.

However, Fu Huaichen had been waiting for her all along, and they went to the company together. They only separated when they reached the parking lot.

As soon as Shen Chu'an arrived at the office, before she even had a chance to sit down, Chen Wenwen came over with a sarcastic tone:

"Wow, someone's acting different after getting promoted, starting on the first day with being late. Do you really think you're so great now?"

"Just average, about a hundred thousand times better than you," Shen Chu'an calmly replied.

Fu Huaichen had mentioned the promotion to her a long time ago, which naturally followed after she had helped him secure a big deal recently.

But Chen Wenwen certainly didn't think Shen Chu'an got promoted based on her skills.

She glanced at the kiss marks that couldn't be concealed on the woman's neck and sneered, "Indeed, I can't compare with Secretary Shen's skills in bed; otherwise, I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly after just two years at the company."

"But I'm still curious, Secretary Shen, you're a married woman, and yet you can shamelessly serve with your body? The man you met with last night wouldn't happen to be Secretary Qi Yan, would he?"

Chen Wenwen was aggressively confrontational, her voice loud, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the office.

"Chen Wenwen, shut your mouth!" The head of the translation department, Zhang Zhen, suddenly stood up and scolded, "Spreading rumors around the office—if Mr. Fu finds out, be careful of getting fired!"

"But what I said is all true!"

Chen Wenwen had been somewhat intimidated by the rebuke, but still stiffly countered with a few words.

"I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, a man got into the car with Shen Chu'an. She's just an ordinary person who can't afford a sports car; it must have been that man who bought it for her!"

"Have you forgotten Mr. Fu's warning?"

Hearing this, Chen Wenwen immediately fell silent and sullenly sat down to work.

Shen Chu'an didn't seem to mind, but this incident quickly reached Qi Yan.

He found it amusing, and when he turned to report to Fu Huaichen, he indeed saw that Fu Huaichen's face had darkened.

"As expected of someone who's married, even the expressions have become richer," Qi Yan remarked with a tsk tsk of wonder.

Outsiders only knew that Qi Yan was a capable man for Fu Huaichen, but they didn't know that he was also a close friend from their college days. The two were very familiar with each other in private, as evidenced by Qi Yan still having the mood to joke with Fu Huaichen.

But Fu Huaichen didn't find it funny at all.

"The one spreading rumors, fire her."

With a cold expression on his face, Qi Yan opened his mouth to remind him:

"Firing her would only confirm the rumors as true, wouldn't it? Huaichen, when did you become so impulsive?"

"Then handle it coldly for now."

Fu Huaichen massaged his temples, "How is Shen Chu'an doing? Has she been affected?"

"Relax, don't you know what your wife is like? She's perfectly fine, totally calm."

Qi Yan was one of the few people who knew that the two had registered their marriage. He was about to leave when Fu Huaichen tasked him with another job.

"Call her over, and also… prepare a nourishing soup." In response to Qi Yan's disbelieving look, Fu Huaichen said irritably:

"It's for her to drink."

Qi Yan suddenly understood and began looking at Fu Huaichen with a different gaze.

So, this is a man who has started to indulge!

Qi Yan was efficient in his tasks, and before long, someone delivered a nourishing soup. Shen Chu'an just happened to knock on the door and enter, twitching at the sight of the soup.

"For me?"

She moved over to the man skillfully and sat on his lap, resisting faintly upon receiving an affirmative answer.

"Forget it, I don't like drinking this stuff."

"Be good."

Fu Huaichen, however, was insistent as he picked up the supplement soup and started stirring it with a spoon.

This… He isn't planning to feed it to her, is he?

Shen Chu'an began to struggle slightly.

"Put me down first… This is the office, it doesn't look good."

She truly disliked this kind of thick, nourishing soup, and besides… she wasn't naive about what Fu Huaichen had in mind. Once she finished drinking, she would be the dish delivered right to his doorstep.

She would certainly be devoured without leaving any leftovers!

"Open your mouth."

Faced with the man's cold and focused gaze, Shen Chu'an pursed her lips, but eventually obediently opened her mouth.

Filled with a large mouthful, Shen Chu'an genuinely had trouble swallowing, but the moment her hand touched his wrist, she was immediately restrained and pulled closer.

With lips carrying scalding breath heavily descending, Shen Chu'an's scalp tingled for a moment, only regaining her senses after enduring the spoon-fed nutrition.

"See? You can drink it now," Fu Huaichen murmured sensually in her ear, his voice very low, his unrestrained desire pressing against Shen Chu'an's bottom, leaving her restless.

"Now that I've drunk it all, I can get off, right…" Shen Chu'an was on the verge of tears, but before she could finish speaking, the man's palm had already slipped under her clothes, lighting fires all over her body.

However, just as things were about to go further, someone suddenly knocked on the office door!

"President Fu, are you in there?"

After a long silence without a response, Qin Wenjing grew anxious and knocked again.

"I have something to discuss with you!"

Damn!

Before Fu Huaichen could say anything, Shen Chu'an, frightened, jumped off his lap and crouched straight under the desk!

She was joking—if she was seen now, the rumors about her would become even more indelible. Plus, Fu Huaichen didn't want others to discover their relationship, either.

Fu Huaichen glanced down at the woman's anxious little face and lightly curled his lips.

"Come in."

Upon entering, Qin Wenjing spotted the half-finished soup on the desk. Just... red date and white fungus soup? It was obviously not for Fu Huaichen, could it mean someone else was just here?

Like Qi Yan, she had attended the same university as Fu Huaichen and had fallen for him at first sight, joining Fu Group right after graduation. She had spent a long time to secure her position as the project leader, just to be closer to Fu Huaichen.

But now…

"Manager Qin, what can I do for you?"

Fu Huaichen pretended to flip through files, while Shen Chu'an under the desk eyed the distinct line of his suit pants and suddenly let out a wicked smile.

Bowing her back, she leaned in, and her shallow breaths wafted through the fabric…

"Hiss…"

Fu Huaichen sharply inhaled, his eyes suddenly flaring red!
