Chapter 81

Xu Zhiqian was having a terrible day. It was her birthday, but Su Ziqin kept giving her insane tasks. What’s wrong with Su Ziqin? Is she possessed by a slave driver?

Xu Zhiqian had just gotten back to her office from the first floor, and before she could even warm her seat, Su Ziqin called again.

Xu Zhiqian resisted the urge to curse and answered the phone through gritted teeth. “I say, my dear boss, what exactly do you want? Shouldn’t sending files be a job for the intern?”

“Oh, look at you, Director Xu. Your status has changed, and I can’t even ask you to deliver important company files anymore?”

Xu Zhiqian forced herself not to get mad at Su Ziqin. A strained smile appeared on her face. “Of course not, my dear boss. How could you say it’s a small matter? I’ll deliver the important file to you right now.”

Xu Zhiqian emphasized the word “important.” What was so important about an endorsement contract that she had to deliver it herself?

Xu Zhiqian took a deep breath and looked at her phone’s chat app. There were no messages from Li Zhengyin. A feeling of disappointment slowly emerged. She won’t forget, right? Xu Zhiqian thought this, but she was a little uncertain. Last night, Li Zhengyin came home very late, and she left early this morning. Xu Zhiqian didn’t know what she was so busy with.

“Sigh.” Xu Zhiqian was a little unhappy. After all, that person had made it quite romantic last year. Li Zhengyin wasn’t the type for childish romance. Last year, she had simply added Xu Zhiqian’s name to the property deed, and they had a Western dinner together.

Thinking this, Xu Zhiqian got up with a tired body. She held the file and was about to open the office door when the office door opened from the outside.

“Sister Zhiqian, do you know why my sister-in-law didn’t choose me as the endorser?” Fu Yanyang’s anxious face came into Xu Zhiqian’s view. The boy, who looked like a green bamboo shoot, had a clear look of disappointment in his eyes.

Xu Zhiqian’s heart skipped a beat. How did this kid find his way here?

“Yangyang, have you talked to your sister-in-law?”

Fu Yanyang shook his head and sat down with his head bowed. His lips were bitter. “I don’t know why my sister-in-law didn’t choose me. Sister Fang just told me this morning that I didn’t get it. I just asked the front desk, and the lady there said my sister-in-law is very busy. I… I didn’t dare to go see her.”

Xu Zhiqian knew that Fu Yanyang was a little afraid of Su Ziqin. That jealous person, Su Ziqin, would even get jealous of Fu Yanyang. She was usually a little harsh with him. Look at how sad the kid is.

Xu Zhiqian called for the intern from her department and asked them to deliver the file. She sat down next to Fu Yanyang to comfort him. “Yangyang, it’s not that we didn’t want you. Do you know that your company’s quote to us was more than double what others quoted?”

“What?” A look of shock appeared in Fu Yanyang’s eyes. “I really didn’t know.”

Xu Zhiqian was rarely patient with a kid like Fu Yanyang. He was too naive. It was rare for someone to dislike him. Xu Zhiqian hadn’t spent much time with Fu Yanyang, but she really liked this boy.

“How is your company treating you?” Right now, Xu Zhiqian was more inclined to have Fu Yanyang leave Dingfeng. Su Ziqin had also discussed this idea with her before. The Qin family and the Fu family were rivals. Fu Yanyang being in Qin Renfeng’s company was not a long-term solution.

Fu Yanyang looked up and glanced at Xu Zhiqian’s face, then lowered his head again, as if hiding some emotions. “I… Star used to take good care of me, and Sister Fang is very good to me. But now… you know, I’ve debuted, right? I have more jobs. To be honest, it’s very fulfilling. It doesn’t matter if I make a lot of money or not.”

As he spoke, Fu Yanyang’s voice got softer and softer. To Xu Zhiqian, it meant that the company wasn’t treating him well, and the distribution was not fair.

“What kind of contract did you sign with the company? Why does it seem like you’re working hard but not making any money?”

Fu Yanyang sighed, his eyes a little unfocused as he rubbed his hands. “I don’t know. I know it’s an 80/20 split. I get 20%, and the company gets 80%…”

“What?” Xu Zhiqian’s voice suddenly rose, interrupting Fu Yanyang. She scoffed. “Have you told your sister about this? Or your sister-in-law?” This is clearly taking advantage of him.

Fu Yanyang shook his head, feeling wronged. The corners of his eyes were a little red. “Sister Zhiqian, I don’t want to make my sister worry about these small things. Besides, in the industry now, Dingfeng is indeed the best entertainment and media company.”

“But it seems like you’re not very happy there. If you’re not happy, why don’t you leave?” Just like Li Zhengyin, she left Orca for Yunsan when she wasn’t happy with her work.

Fu Yanyang exhaled a breath of stale air. He adjusted his mindset, and a warm, sunny smile appeared on his face again. “It’s okay, Sister Zhiqian. Dingfeng can give me what I want. I just debuted. I can’t just leave Dingfeng and start my own studio, can I?”

“Why not?” Xu Zhiqian tried to persuade him. “As long as you ask, your sister won’t ignore you. She spoils you so much that she’d probably pick the moon from the sky for you if you wanted it.”

Xu Zhiqian wasn’t exaggerating. With Fu Qingyun’s nature of spoiling her brother, as long as Fu Yanyang asked, he would get anything he wanted.

Fu Yanyang didn’t want Fu Qingyun to worry about his own things too much. In his opinion, his sister’s relationship with her sister-in-law was finally making progress, and he shouldn’t disturb them too much. Ultimately, he was afraid of Su Ziqin. Su Ziqin’s jealousy knew no bounds.

“I’ll go with you to see your sister-in-law?” Xu Zhiqian encouraged.

A look of difficulty appeared in Fu Yanyang’s eyes. “I… Sister Zhiqian…”

Fu Yanyang’s phone rang at this moment, interrupting him. Seeing the caller ID, Fu Yanyang’s heart warmed. It was his sister calling.

“Sister,” Fu Yanyang said with a gentle smile.

“Yunfan is about to get off work,” was all that came through the earpiece.

The smile on Fu Yanyang’s face grew even wider. His puppy eyes were filled with joy. “Okay, I’ll be right down.”

After he hung up, Fu Yanyang said to Xu Zhiqian, “Sister Zhiqian, my sister asked me to go to dinner. You should come with me.”

Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment. After a whole day, Fu Yanyang was the only one who had asked her to go to dinner. But… a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes. The phone in her hand was as quiet as a mouse. She still hadn’t heard from the person she was waiting for.

“Sister Zhiqian, are you not happy?”

The boy’s words were like a warm breeze in winter. Xu Zhiqian showed a tired smile. “No, but I’m a little tired…”

“Sister Zhiqian, don’t be so quick to refuse. I’ve been thinking, and you’re right. I should talk to my sister about what’s going on at Dingfeng. But you know what kind of person my sister is. If she finds out what’s going on with me, she might blame herself.”

Xu Zhiqian understood. “So, you want me to go with you and talk to your sister, right?”

Xu Zhiqian knew Fu Sister very well. She had learned a lot from Su Ziqin and Li Zhengyin over the past year. Fu Qingyun seemed cold, but she had a soft heart. If she knew that her brother was being treated this way, she would definitely blame herself, just as Yangyang said.

“Fine. I don’t have anything to do anyway.” When she said the last few words, Xu Zhiqian couldn’t help but feel a little resentful towards Li Zhengyin.

Fu Yanyang stood up and thoughtfully picked up Xu Zhiqian’s bag. “Let’s go. My sister is waiting for us downstairs, and my sister-in-law is there too.”

“Okay.” Xu Zhiqian consoled herself. With so many people, it could be considered a birthday celebration.

The two went downstairs to the underground parking lot. As soon as they got out of the elevator, the power in the parking lot suddenly went out with a thump. The surroundings were plunged into a deadly silence and darkness.

“Yangyang?” A sense of unease rose in Xu Zhiqian’s heart. When she called out for Fu Yanyang repeatedly and got no response, this unease grew even bigger.

“Ashen,” Li Zhengyin’s voice came from behind her. It was a little far away, but it was enough to make Xu Zhiqian feel completely safe at this moment.

Xu Zhiqian turned around. The area on both sides of her lit up a little at a time. Two golden light strips were like a bridge extending in front of her. The lights followed the path in front of Xu Zhiqian, lighting up one by one. At the end of the path stood the person she had been waiting for all day.

Li Zhengyin was holding Xu Zhiqian’s favorite lilies. It was the scent of Li Zhengyin’s pheromones, and also Xu Zhiqian’s favorite scent. In the middle of the lilies was a single freesia, which was the scent of Xu Zhiqian’s pheromones.

Xu Zhiqian stood there stunned. Suddenly, the sound of a violin came from her side. Li Zhengyin walked towards Xu Zhiqian, following the rhythm of the music.

Li Zhengyin stopped in front of Xu Zhiqian. The tall Alpha was wearing a neat suit as usual, which was also Xu Zhiqian’s favorite look.

Li Zhengyin took a deep breath. Her tone was gentle and serious. “Ashen, our marriage was too rushed. I never gave you a proper proposal. You said to wait two years to have our wedding. I thought I should prepare these things for you ahead of time.”

She handed the flowers to Xu Zhiqian. Xu Zhiqian took the flowers, and all the grievances she had felt all day instantly disappeared. Tears welled up in her eyes. She never expected this person to prepare such a surprise.

“You…”

“Shh,” Li Zhengyin used her fingertip to stop Xu Zhiqian from speaking. She reached out to Fu Qingyun, who was standing in the darkness. A beautiful red velvet box was sent in a perfect arc through the air and landed in Li Zhengyin’s hand.

Li Zhengyin opened the lid of the box and knelt down on one knee. “Miss Xu Zhiqian, will you spend the rest of your life with me?”

“Are you an idiot?” Xu Zhiqian’s tear ducts seemed to be out of control. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. “If I didn’t want to, why would I have married you? Put it on me!”

Li Zhengyin chuckled. She took the Omega’s ring out of the box and gently placed it on Xu Zhiqian’s ring finger.

Xu Zhiqian looked at the ring on her finger through tear-filled eyes. She choked out, “Honey.”

She threw herself into Li Zhengyin’s arms, and a round of applause broke out around them. The lights in the garage turned on instantly. Only then could Xu Zhiqian see her surroundings clearly.

Wow, the entire company, no… almost everyone from Yunfan and Yunsan came. Su Ziqin held onto Fu Sister’s arm, watching her sourly. Fu Yanyang was playing the violin on the side. So that’s what was happening. This was a surprise Li Zhengyin had planned with everyone.

“So sweet!” Employee A almost screamed.

“I came here to ship CEO Fu and the boss, but I didn’t expect this couple to be so sweet too!”

“It’s so romantic. Is this the romance of Jing City’s top investor?”

Su Ziqin felt sour hearing the sounds around her. A warm touch came from her hand. Fu Qingyun squeezed her small hand. Su Ziqin snorted and scratched Fu Qingyun’s palm with her fingertips.

Fu Qingyun knew that the little fox was a little unhappy. “Not happy?”

Su Ziqin sulked and didn’t look at her. How could I be happy? She was just fed such a big pile of dog food by Xu Zhiqian and her wife. Su Ziqin let go of Fu Qingyun’s hand, took the kraft paper file bag in her hand, and handed it to Li Zhengyin.

After doing that, Su Ziqin went back to Fu Qingyun’s side, wrapped her arms around Fu Qingyun’s waist, and buried her head in Fu Qingyun’s chest.

Li Zhengyin opened the file bag and took out the things inside. The first was a big red book. “This is the house I just bought. Your name is on it.”

Next, she took out a big green book. “This is my car that you don’t like very much. It’s old, so you might not like it, but as long as you want it, I can transfer the title to you at any time.”

Then came a stack of bank cards. “This is my dividend card. This is my fund card. This is my monthly salary card. This is my social security…”

Xu Zhiqian looked at Li Zhengyin’s actions in a daze. After Li Zhengyin finished, she put everything back into the file bag and handed it to Xu Zhiqian. “This is everything I own now. I’m not as rich as my boss, but I’ll work hard to give you a better life in the future.”

“If you give me everything, what will you do?” Xu Zhiqian asked, her tears turning into a laugh.

Li Zhengyin’s eyes were filled with a gentle smile as she looked at Xu Zhiqian without blinking. “You’re my wife. If you want me, these things are still mine. If you don’t want me, you can take these things and find someone who can make you happy.”

The things in Xu Zhiqian’s hand fell to the ground. She quickly wrapped her arms around Li Zhengyin’s neck and kissed her. “You are my happiness.”

Looking at the couple kissing, Su Ziqin looked at the person with the calm expression next to her. Fu Qingyun, you are my happiness too. Since you’re not going to propose, I’ll be more proactive so you can never run away from me again.
