President, Please Sign the Divorce Agreement-Chapter 8 - : Lies

"President Fu asked me to come pick you up."

Lu An didn't directly answer Gu Xiyang's question, instead he relayed what Fu Yanshen had instructed over the phone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyang's expression gradually darkened, her gaze cold as ice.

What a Mu Chenxi.

She's really pushing her luck.

Daring to play these games with her.

Does she think she can compete for a place in Ah Yan's heart? Is she worthy?

Gu Xiyang didn't say anything, merely turned and walked away.

"Miss Gu..."

Lu An couldn't keep her from leaving; he watched as she crossed the street, entered a café opposite them, and sat down by the window, soon calling over a waiter to order.

From this attitude, it was clear to Lu An what was happening.

He took out his phone and immediately called Fu Yanshen.

This Miss Gu, he remembered her well.

Not long ago, during an important meeting President Fu was having.

Miss Gu had called.

President Fu never took calls during meetings, not even from Mrs. Fu.

So, he answered the call as usual, planning to inform President Fu after the meeting and let him decide whether to call back.

But this Miss Gu insisted he go straight in and tell President Fu that it was Gu Xiyang calling, claiming he would certainly answer.

At that moment, Miss Gu spoke with even more confidence than Mu Chenxi, the rightful wife.

Driven as if by a ghost, he really went in, and when he spoke, he thought he was finished.

But unexpectedly, President Fu indeed abandoned the meeting to take Miss Gu's call.

More shockingly, after returning post-call to continue the meeting, within less than five minutes, President Fu suddenly stood up, delegated the meeting to him, and left briskly.

Shopping mall, restroom.

After Mu Chenxi finished in the restroom and washed her hands, she slowly walked out.

She immediately saw Fu Yanshen waiting for her at the end of the corridor, his back to her, on the phone.

His height and appearance were so commanding that even in a crowd, he stood out starkly.

People passing by him couldn't help but gaze up at him.

Many women clearly showed interest, but the air of distance around him felt insurmountable, making them hesitate.

Men like Fu Yanshen are exceedingly outstanding, making most women plainly aware that they are not worthy.

Including her.

In her eyes, Fu Yanshen shone like the brightest star in the sky, out of reach.

Their relationship, just like clouds and mud.

She knew she wasn't good enough for him.

The disparity in their statuses meant there could never be a real outcome.

But, this was Fu Yanshen.

How could she possibly refuse such an exceptional man's overture to date?

All she could do was guard her heart carefully, partake in a love that didn't care about the outcome, only cherishing what they had.

What she hadn't anticipated was that, fate, which had always mistreated her, finally favored her once.

She not only received Fu Yanshen's affection but also... his love!

The man, feeling her prolonged gaze, turned around.

Seeing Mu Chenxi, Fu Yanshen instructed Lu An, who was asking over the phone what to do, "Just drive back yourself."

After speaking, he hung up the call, stepped towards Mu Chenxi, and naturally hooked his arm around her waist drawing her close.

"Who were you just on the phone with?" Mu Chenxi asked casually.

"Lu An."

"Did he pick up Miss Gu?"

"Mmm." Fu Yanshen responded indifferently, seemingly uninterested in the topic of Gu Xiyang.

Seeing Mu Chenxi leaning against him as if boneless after a few steps, "Tired?"

Mu Chenxi, nestled in Fu Yanshen's arms, used two fingers to indicate a small gap, softly murmuring, "Hmm, a little bit."

She really was a bit tired, but she still wanted to continue shopping!

Mu Chenxi looked eagerly at the many unvisited shops ahead; Ah Yan was busy, and it was rare for him to accompany her shopping.

If this were before her pregnancy, she could shop all day without getting tired, but now...

"Next weekend, I'll make time to come shopping with you again, let's go home and rest today."

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi immediately snuggled happily in his embrace, tilted her little face up to look at him and said, "You promised, don't cheat me. You know I hate being lied to the most."

Since her troubled childhood, on the day she agreed to be with Fu Yanshen, she had told him.

Her only request was that he never lie to her.

And she would give him absolute trust.

As long as he said it, she would believe it.

Fu Yanshen looked down at the small face wholly trusting him in his arms, raised his hand to press her face back into his chest.

Embracing her, they left the mall and drove home.

Fu Yanshen parked the car, opened the door, and stepped out.

He gently opened the passenger door, delicately intending to lift Mu Chenxi, who had fallen asleep halfway.

In the car, her sleep was light.

The moment Fu Yanshen's hand touched her, Mu Chenxi sleepily opened her eyes and yawned, "Ah Yan, are we home?"

"Mmm, continue sleeping, I'll carry you inside."

After saying this, he saw Mu Chenxi stretch her arms affectionately and willingly, allowing him to lift her and carry her inside.

Her small face nestled in his neck, being carried into the house, up the stairs, and placed on the master bedroom bed.

Her arms hung around Fu Yanshen's neck, not letting go, her face nuzzling his neck while she softly murmured, "Ah Yan, stay with me while I sleep."

With him by her side, she would sleep more soundly.

"Sweetheart, sleep by yourself for a while, I have some urgent business at the company, I'll come back after dealing with it and accompany you."

Fu Yanshen's hand clasped hers, pulling them apart and tucking her into the covers.

"Okay then, come back soon."

Mu Chenxi was really forcing herself, yawning repeatedly and soon closing her eyes, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

Fu Yanshen quietly left the master bedroom, closed the door, hurried downstairs, grabbed his keys, and left.

...

A black Bentley stopped outside the café.

Inside the car, Fu Yanshen caught sight of Gu Xiyang sitting by the window.

She held an elegant small spoon, from which she scooped a small bite of dessert.

Seeing his car, she met his gaze through the glass without getting up.

Shortly after, Fu Yanshen unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and walked into the café, sitting down opposite Gu Xiyang.

In front of him was a cup of Americano that had long gone cold, ordered by Gu Xiyang earlier for him.

She knew she would wait for him.

...

Seeing Fu Yanshen getting out of the car and on his way here, Gu Xiyang withdrew her gaze and didn't look up when he sat down.

Gracefully curving her lips, she fed herself the dessert. Eyes downcast, she gently pressed her lips together, savoring it.

After a while, she put down the spoon, swallowed the dessert, and spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

"Ah Yan, if you didn't want to come pick me up, you could have just said no, I wouldn't have been upset. After all, you have no obligation to pick me up."

"But... you promised me, yet you sent Lu An?"

Gu Xiyang suddenly raised her eyes, looking straight at Fu Yanshen.

"Ah Yan, you know I hate it most when people break their promises."
