Chapter Forty-Four I want to hear, what misunderstanding
any different.Fu Lingxiao, upon hearing this, simply raised the corner of his lips in a faint smile, "Why be inferior I got to where I am today relying on more than just these eyes."The voice was as...Mu Xing, as a foodie, almost had her eyes light up at the mention of food.
But she didn't like how he addressed her. It sounded faintly mocking, and with a slight lift of her chin, she looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Are you sincerely inviting me"
Shen Yi immediately retracted his smile, and said with a sincere face: "Absolutely wholeheartedly, just look at my expression."
"Then why can't you even get my name right" Mu Xing pouted.
"... "
Shen Yi's mouth twitched, he couldn't tell, the little girl was quite sharp-tongued.
"Let me say that again."
He coughed lightly and said, "Mu Xing, would you be willing to grace my new private kitchen with your presence"
Mu Xing smiled contentedly and leaned into Fu Lingxiao's ear, half covering her mouth with her hand, and inquired about his opinion: "Uncle Xiao, can I go"
A warm breath swept across her earlobe, the little girl's deliberately lowered voice sweet and soft, entering his ears as if an electric current surged in. Fu Lingxiao felt that his entire nervous system instantly became numb.
He tilted his head slightly, subtly pulling away from the little girl, and said, "If you want to go, go."
Mu Xing looked at him, her eyes twinkling, her face full of anticipation, "If I go, will my little uncle go with me too"
Before Fu Lingxiao could answer, Shen Yi spoke first: "Let's go together, it's been a long time since we brothers have gotten together."
Fu Lingxiao raised his hand to glance at the watch on his wrist, stood up, picked up his suit jacket and put it on his arm, "Let's go."
Mu Xing consciously put her small paws into the man's palm and followed his footsteps out of the office, bouncing happily.
The private kitchen is located in a courtyard in the alley of the central business district. It's quiet and peaceful amidst the hustle and bustle, with a fresh and elegant environment.
The only drawback is that cars can't drive in.
Three people got out of the car at the entrance. Shen Yi led the way, Fu Lingxiao walked behind holding Mu Xing's hand and asked Shen Yi, "Why did you suddenly think of doing catering"
"It's not about finding a quiet place to eat."
Shen Yi sighed, quite helplessly. "My mom is bored at home and keeps nagging me to find a girlfriend. She wants me married today and holding grandkids tomorrow! I haven't had a decent meal at home for half a year. That's why I opened this shop. It lets me eat peacefully and make money—the best of both worlds."
The private kitchen wasn't easy to find, but it was quite popular. All the private rooms on the first floor were full of people.
The manager was greeting guests and, seeing Shen Yi walk in, hurried over: "Boss, you're here!"
Shen Yi let out an "en" and said, "Bring a few friends over for dinner."
"Excuse me, is someone upstairs"
The manager respectfully led them to Shen Yi's private room on the second floor and asked them to sit down.
Shen Yi took the lead in asking Mu Xing, "Mu Xing, what kind of dishes do you like"
Mu Xing didn't answer, she directly turned her head to look at Fu Lingxiao, "Little uncle, what kind of dish do you like"
"It's all good."
Upon receiving the response, Mu Xing relayed to Shen Yi, "It's all good."
Shen Yi let out a sarcastic snort, "What a picture of a happy couple, so devoted and loving! Old Fu…"
Fu Lingxiao's eyes swept past coldly.
Shen Yi stopped his voice, raised an eyebrow, and instructed the manager, "Go call Master Yu to make a few signature dishes."
"Yes."
The manager left the room.
Shen Yi was just about to go wash his hands and make some tea when the door of the room was suddenly knocked on. Before he could respond, the person outside pushed open the door themselves, being quite rude.
"Mr. Fu, is that really you I thought I was mistaken when I saw you downstairs just now."
The visitor was Wang Rongqian, the president of Rongqian Real Estate.
With a face full of smiles, he walked in. "I've called Zhao's assistant many times this month to set up a dinner with you, but he always said you were busy. I didn't expect to run into you here today."
His smile froze as his gaze fell on the girl beside Fu Lingxiao.
Rumors were true after all.
That night at the club, that little vixen kicked him straight to the hospital. He only found out the next day. After he left, Fu Lingxiao personally went to Meishe to help that little vixen out. He was so scared that he immediately called Fu Lingxiao to apologize and invite him to dinner, but the dinner never happened. Instead, he was kicked out of the collaboration project.
In the capital city, everyone knows the severity of the consequences for offending Fu Lingxiao.
He hurried to the Fu Group to apologize to Fu Lingxiao in person, but was turned away at the door. At that moment, he knew that this little girl was Fu Lingxiao's lover, and it wasn't just a rumor.
This little aunt, you can't afford to offend her!
He put on a smile and said to Mu Xing, "That night was a misunderstanding. I didn't know about your relationship with President Fu. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Mu Xing had actually already forgotten him. Hearing him say that, she suddenly remembered, "It's you."
Shen Yi let out a light snort and said, "You two know each other Tell me about the misunderstanding that night."
"Just a little misunderstanding, a small misunderstanding…"
Wang Rongqian laughed dryly. To face Fu Lingxiao, he said, "Isn't that looking for death"
Who knew that the next second, the man who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up: “I also want to hear, what is the misunderstanding.”
Wang Rongqian was startled by the low voice, his heart pounding. He looked at Fu Lingxiao with trembling fear. The man's handsome face was expressionless, showing no anger, but giving off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Just one look, and he felt his legs go weak. Out of male pride, he managed to hold himself up.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said to Fu: "Mr. Fu, it's all a misunderstanding. I swear, I haven't even touched a finger of hers, really, you can ask her if you don't believe me."
Mu Xing nodded, "Indeed, I didn't touch your fingers."
Wang Rong heard this, letting out a breath of relief. But just as he’d relaxed half way, the childish, sweet voice continued, “He only grabbed my arm and said he wanted to touch my waist.”
Wang Rongqian: "..."
Shen Yi smiled, looking on with amusement. "You remember quite clearly!"
As if feeling a chill envelop him, Wang Rong's forehead was covered in cold sweat that rolled down "Whoosh" all at once. "Mr. Fu, let me explain..."
Mu Xing saw that he suddenly looked like this, and hesitantly turned his head to look at Fu Lingxiao. He realized that the man's original indifferent expression had turned cold at some point, his thin lips almost pressed into a straight line.
This was still her first time seeing this expression from her little uncle, it seemed to be a bit fierce.
She frowned and whispered, "Did I just... say something wrong"
Shouldn't we keep Uncle from finding out that someone wanted to touch her waist
Hearing the little girl's slightly nervous voice, Fu Lingxiao's expression instantly returned to normal, "You didn't say the wrong thing."
Having said that, he looked at Wang Rongqian, who was trembling with fear, and said in a calm tone: “You should know my rules. I don’t want to make a move today, so you better figure it out yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Rong's legs went weak and he knelt directly on the ground.
He dared not beg for mercy, everyone knew that in front of Fu Lingxiao, the more one begged, the worse the outcome would be...ow it."Fu Lingxiao lowered his head, as if intently looking at her, his voice deep and resonant: "There is nothing in this world that requires sacrificing my treasure."Before, in order to help him con...
