ARC 2: FIRST LOVE EX-GIRLFRIEND (8)

At this time, someone burst into the office.

Pa––

The woman swung her hand and slapped the man.

This play of talking and slapping was quite exciting.

He was struck on top of his head and the disheveled bangs concealed his dark eyes.

"What, did you have a showdown with Master Han?" Fu Xi nonchalantly stood up and approached Linlang.

She couldn't help but scream. "Fu Xi!"

"I'm here."

His white shirt was spotless, and the collar that was usually buttoned-up was now loose, revealing a careless languidness.

"It seems you really aren't good at learning how to behave, and now you dare to run into my office alone. You like hitting my face, don't you?" Fu Xi raised his fingertips and curled a strand of hair on her cheek.

He watched her feign calm, but she couldn't mask the fear in her eyes and finally closed them with a shudder.

A strange feeling of remorse slowly crept into his heart.

If becoming a demon meant that he could have her, that he could make her see nothing but him, what did it matter?

Fu Xi pulled her close to himself.

The girl grabbed his arm in alarm. There was an ardent plea in her eyes as if she was a drowning bird on the shoreside.

He brushed back the pendant on her ear and willfully tangled his fingers in her hair.

The drowning bird's wings were entangled by seaweed, dragging it down below the thick sludge of the riverbed. Neither sky nor light could be seen.

After a time, their foreheads were pressed together. Fu Xi stared into her eyes and spoke slowly, "Linlang, you have to understand. Han Shu's attentiveness was only superficial. He was interested in you, but at the same time, he was unclear about his first love. This kind of flowery person is the most susceptible to others' enticement.

"Look, I only gave his first love a sum of money to act out a play and he immediately kicked you away. Isn't it better for me to help you see what kind of person he is sooner?"

"But..."

She wanted to refute, but when she opened her mouth, he found that she couldn't find any reason. Her expression suddenly fell.

"But what?" Fu Xi brushed back her loose hair that fell on her cheeks.

Linlang lowered her head, and her expression was unclear.

En, the male lead has blackened. Wouldn't it be strange not to follow the routine?

Peng-Peng-Peng-

Someone knocked on the door energetically.

"Come in."

"Master, our department is going out to... eh?"

Yang Lu's smile immediately froze.

The tall and handsome man was smoothing the folds of the woman's collar. He whispered, "Wait until I get off work. Go to the garage and wait for me. Sort out everything that should be dealt with."

Linlang nodded reluctantly.

After the person left their line of sight, Yang Lu pretended to ask naïvely, "Master, was that Master's wife you found for me?"

One time when she was sending materials, Yang Lu accidentally saw Fu Xi's computer and simply exposed her own identity without a second thought. Although Fu Xi didn't say anything, she could tell that he was taking care of her, be it online or in real life.

After going back, Yang Lu no longer had to struggle. She liked her in-game master and had an inexplicable interest in her boss.

Turns out they were the same person!

Could this be a chance from a former life?

The great joy made Yang Lu giddy. Thanks to the encouragement from her girlfriends, she decided to confess on the day of the school celebration. She prepared well, but who would have thought he would leave halfway through! Although she saw Fu Xi in the ice hockey rink, she was a little scared of him at the time and ran away.

After going back, Yang Lu thought about it and found that she still couldn't let go of her feelings. She then selectively forgot the matters from that night and encouraged herself once more. She didn't believe she was worse than Ji Linlang! But things didn't develop the way she thought. Even if she came to the company, Master would leave the conference room as soon as the meeting ended. There was no chance to talk.

Now, she saw him together with his ex-girlfriend again.

Did they really get back together?

Yang Lu somewhat rejected this conjecture.

In her opinion, her perfect master was worthy of any good woman in the world!

Other than her beautiful skin, what else did Ji Linlang have?

The woman was selfish, money-worshipping, and malicious. She first abandoned her master and used her beauty to seduce rich figures all day long. Maybe it was just as her friend said, selling flesh to attend high-class parties!

She dared to take a gamble on this. If Ji Linlang was not being supported by a gold master, how could she as a college student have so much money to buy famous brand jewelry?

"No."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

She belonged to him alone and had nothing to do with anyone else.

After hearing Fu Xi's answer, Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh in relief. Her originally dejected state instantly brightened.

"Then...Master, are you going out with us tonight?"

"No, I still have something to do. You should go have fun."

The man looked at the quartz watch and grabbed the car key to leave.

Yang Lu had always believed Master only had a cold exterior and wasn't good at interacting with others. He sealed his thoughts deep in his heart, and that was how Linlang got the opportunity to hurt him!

But it doesn't matter. Now that she was here, no one could make a move on him!

"Master, take your disciple's face into account and think about it. Isn't it good to enjoy a rare break? Please, please!" she begged with her hands folded together. This girl was so cute that not many could resist her.

Fu Xi stopped in his tracks.

Yang Lu was very happy when she saw this. Master still spoiled her, she thought.

"What are you both doing?" The man looked ahead with an unsympathetic face.

Linlang's heart tightened and immediately wanted to take back that thing.

"Please, give it back!"

Ji Linlang was an arrogant beauty who rarely conceded in front of others.

Even if she showed a pitiful posture, Xie Yaohua wasn't the least bit softhearted. He immediately ran to Fu Xi and declared loudly, "Boss, Ji Linlang's going to resign!" He wished the whole world would know this happy news.

Suddenly, the whole department came over to see.

Xie Yaohua couldn't help but feel proud of himself. Fortunately, he came back early and processed her resignation faster. She had obviously handed it over but still wanted to take it back! Fat chance!

In short, he finally had a justification to drive this scourge out!

"You want to resign? Why didn't you just say that before? Why have someone else give it to me instead?" Fu Xi carelessly took the resignation letter. It had today's date. His eyes hardened as he swiftly grabbed her delicate handbag. As expected, he opened the zipper to find a plane ticket to Y country.

So, today was all premeditated?

She pretended to be obedient just to confuse him and promised to live together when she was actually thinking about how to escape from him?

Very good, Ji Linlang. You're really good.

Fu Xi had a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Oh, no. Xie Yaohua gulped.

Something wasn't right with the boss.

The man chuckled lightly. In front of everyone, he ripped the ticket into thin strips, then stretched out his hands to let the pieces flutter everywhere.

Amidst the white scraps, the smile on the corner of his mouth was particularly sinister.

It's funny how ML is aware that Linlang is playing him, but he doesn't truly know to what extent she's doing it. Anyway that's all for now. I've run out stash so you probably won't see another update until next...next weekend I think. I might just combine the posting days for this novel and AMDTVBA so I won't have to fiddle with this site on different days.
