I put the phone to my ear. Before I could make a sound, I heard Fang Yin's voice from the other end of the line. His voice sounded serious, but there was a hint of playfulness in it. "Come and have lunch with me at noon."
I was stunned. I immediately regretted answering the call and rejected him. "I have to go to school at noon. I don't have time."
He smiled faintly on the other end of the line. "Do you want to have lunch with me, or do you want everyone to know about what happened between us last night? You decide for yourself."
Before I could say anything, he hung up the phone. I gritted my teeth as I listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone.
A few seconds later, Fang Yin sent the address to my WeChat.
Fang Yin was a famous person in City A. Gossip was just a piece of cake to him. However, if everyone knew about it, my marriage with Ling Feng would be over.
Thinking about this, I felt like someone was stabbing my heart with a knife. The pain was indescribable.
Do I have a choice?
No.
In the end, I could only put my work aside and walk anxiously in his direction. As soon as I arrived at the company's lobby, a good-looking employee brought me to his office. I stood stiffly at the door for quite a while before I pushed the door open and entered.
Fang Yin was reading a document. When he heard the door open, he raised his eyebrows.
He curled his lips into a smile and stood up. "Wash your hands and eat."
His casual tone made me want to beat him to the ground.
Sitting opposite him while we ate, the atmosphere was stiff. I picked up a bowl of rice and took two bites. It tasted like wax.
He suddenly asked, "I don't understand why you would reject a bachelor.
Isn't it a woman's dream to have a partner that you can't spend all of his money with? "
I heard a tinge of resentment in his voice.
"My husband treats me very well. He's willing to fan me in the summer and warm my hands in the winter. He takes good care of me even when I catch a cold. He remembers all the anniversaries … Living with him makes me feel happy and happy."
I smiled as I said those words. However, after what had happened last night, my state of mind had changed.
Fang Yin sat in front of me. He looked at me as if I was an idiot. He was holding a piece of dried tofu in his mouth, but he didn't put it into his mouth. When he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. After a series of steady footsteps, I heard Ling Feng's voice.
"Mr. Fang, I have a few proposals for the project that came in a few days ago. Take some time to look at them and give me a reply.
If there's anything that needs to be modified, I'll … "
Suddenly, Ling Feng's voice stopped.
My body stiffened, and my palms and the back of my hands became drenched in sweat. I felt as if I was being executed by a thousand cuts.
Ling Feng's sudden appearance caught me off guard. My face paled, and I panicked.
I keenly felt the aura of the person behind me gradually cooling down. In front of me was Fang Yin's handsome face with a faint smile. "I'll give you an answer later. Take advantage of your lunch break to get some sleep."
