Gu Linlang could sense the awkwardness between the two of them. She intended to provoke them but didn’t intend for them to be entangled with each other again.
“Fu Yao, since she didn’t mean for all this to happen, let’s not pursue this matter, shall we? Come on, let’s leave. We don’t want to keep Grandpa waiting.”
Gu Linlang’s words were ambiguous. Shen Qieyi looked up to her with a sneer and rejected her feign of kindness.
Fu Yao looked at her speechless.
Shen Qieyi didn’t bother to look at Fu Yao. She took a few steps forward and got closer to Gu Linlang. The two of them were about the same height, and both of their eyes met.
Shen Qieyi fixed her eyes on Gu Linlang’s face and sneered.
“Miss Gu, you must be joking. We are neither relatives nor friends, so stop acting kind and generous.”
She took a few steps toward Gu Linlang and put her business card on the bonnet. “I know your car is expensive. I will pay no matter how. Don’t worry about me “.
While Fu Yao was looking at her business card, his peripheral vision caught a glance of Shen Qieyi heading to her car and leaving.
Half a year later, for the first time, they met again. They exchanged no pleasantries and avoided eyesight for the whole time.
As Fu Yao watched Shen Qieyi’s car drive further away, he ignored Gu Linlang’s gnashing of hatred as if nothing had happened and stepped into his car.
The loud screeching from shutting the door roused Gu Linlang, and she hurriedly gets onto the car.
As the night fell, the headlights weren’t turned on. The car’s interior was dim. Fu Yao held the steering single-handed while resting the other arm on the window panel. A gentle breeze delicately stirred his hair. He seemed focused on the road, but his mind had wandered away.
Gu Linlang brazened herself, looking at his indifferent and cold face as she tried to initiate a conversation he might be interested in.
As Gu Linlang’s mind raced through a dozen things, she could only think of Shen Qieyi, whom they had just met.
Shen Qieyi’s transformation into such a beauty was indeed a threat to her. She definitely doesn’t want him to have redundant thoughts about this woman.
Gu Linlang tried to rivet Fu Yao’s attention to herself when she heard a familiar voice.
“Which intersection do you want to get off?”
Gu Linlang had forced a smile on her face as she reposed the question, “What?”
Fu Yao was reluctant to reiterate the few words again. The atmosphere in the car has become tense.
Seeing that he acted impatient, Gu Linlang could not hold herself anymore. She could sense that it was all because of Shen Qieyi, who had suddenly appeared.
With hesitation, she wanted to prove herself wrong. “Is it because of Shen Qieyi? Are you unhappy with the way I treat her? ” she asked.
Fu Yao turned to look at her as if it was a joke, “You think too much.”
Gu Linlang was carried away with the answer and asked, “Can I follow you home?”
Fu Yao immediately stopped the car after he had heard what was asked.
Gu Linlang was only to realize that it was an act of rejection.
She quickly grabbed his hand, “I’m sorry, I just want to pay Fu Laoye a visit. I don’t mean anything else…”
Fu Yao was disgruntled, ” You should get down, I’m in a hurry.”
“Fu Yao, you don’t do this to me…”
He interrupted her. “You probably have some misunderstanding. I’ve done the same thing to Shen Qieyi. What makes you think you have the privilege to show up there?”
Gu Linlang bit her lip tightly to hide her disappointment. Protecting her dignity, she quickly opened the car door and got out.
Fu Yao accelerated into the highway, hoping to clear his mind that was fully occupied with Shen Qieyi.
He had never expected to meet her again in such an awkward situation.
She had lost weight and turned into a beautiful woman. The confidence showed in her also reflected she wasn’t the same shy person.
The drastic change in her has distracted Fu Yao and made him unable to think straight at the moment.
He wasn’t the kind of person who let himself loose over such a thing, so he forced himself to stop thinking and added more weight onto the accelerator to speed off.
Since Fu Yao returned from overseas, he was occupied with endless company affairs. The welcome-back celebratory dinner arranged by the Fu family had been postponed several times due to his tight schedule.
Finally, Fu Laoye lost his patient waiting for Fu Yao. So, he asked him to come home no matter how late.
All these years, the only person Fu Yao had submitted to was Fu Laoye. In the Fu Family, Fu Laoye was the person he missed the most and the reason to return home.
At the dining table, Fu Yao ate quietly but never forget to refill some dishes and soup for Fu Laoye.
Fu Yingjie sat opposite Fu Yao and noticed his silence at the table. She couldn’t hold herself and wanted to make conversation with him.
“Fu Yao, did you know your ex-wife has become very beautiful? Recently she and a man has created a video that is trending now.”
“I’ve seen it, too. All the online viewers including us, find it entertaining.” Fu Yipin who sat on Fu Yingjie’s left side, looked at Fu Yao and pitched in the conversation.
Fu Yao stared at them without giving any response.
The two of them thought they had Fu Yao’s certainty, so they continued to make sarcastic comments.
“Why is she so hard on herself and secretly went for liposuction and plastic surgery?”
” She’s too naive to think that changing her looks and body can make her a socialite. She should realize how vulgar she is.”
The two of them had paired up and couldn’t stop gossiping and giggling together.
Fu Yao was annoyed by their chattering noise. He put down his chopsticks and cleaned his hands.
Fu Laoye was sitting next to Fu Yao and couldn’t help to notice he was frustrated.
Fu Laoye has been observing Fu Yao, but he remained emotionless. Fu Laoye could not endure anymore and stopped them both.
Knowing that Fu Laoye was getting vexed, Fu Yao remained silent.
A call from overseas gave Fu Yao the excuse to leave his seat.
He was fed up with everyone tussling at the dining table. They had caused a restless scene every time they gathered.
After dinner, Fu Laoye sternly asked everyone to leave the dining room.
In the garden, Fu Laoye found Fu Yao talking in a foreign language he couldn’t understand.
Fu Laoye sat with him and waited patiently for him to end the call.
Fu Yao ended the call immediately when he saw Fu Laoye’s still unhappy.
“Who are you angry at? Even dare to release your anger on me?”
Fu Yao mischievously played dumb enraged Fu Laoye.
“Are you playing dumb or you really don’t know?”
“What are you talking about? When did I offend you again?”
Fu Laoye snorted and changed the topic. ” I’ve noticed the drastic changes in Shen Qieyi over the past six months.”
Fu Yao has been hearing the name Shen Qieyi countless times the whole day.
