Even so, he still maintained a frequency of visiting Wen Qiao twice a week, at the very least once a week.
He worried she might not be used to it, could be bullied, or suffer injustice.
Even though he understood that, given Wen Qiao’s personality, it was others who were more likely to be at a disadvantage, he still couldn’t rest easy.
This ti was the sa. Recently, Fu Qiang returned to the country, and he had to go back to live in the old house every day. To avoid worrying Fu Qiang, Fu Jinghen usually wouldn’t bring work ho to deal with.
After pulling an all-nighter last night and holding two international etings, he arrived at the office in the morning, napped on the sofa for a bit, then hurried over after seeing the live broadcast in the afternoon, only to witness this scene.
To be honest, Feng Li felt a bit sorry for his boss.
He ventured, "President Fu, Director Li is hosting a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner tonight. If you’d like to go, shall we check it out?"
"Are you quite free?"
"But—"
Fu Jinghen opened his eyes, furrowed his brows, and with a firm tone, interrupted him, "Let’s go back."
Having said that, he closed his eyes again.
Feng Li sighed and gestured to the driver.
His good intentions fell through, and it seed that this trip to West City not only failed to lift his boss’s spirits but even made them worse.
-
Had he not seen that scene just now, when Feng Li made the suggestion, Fu Jinghen would surely have taken the opportunity to lighten the mood, or rather, he wouldn’t have needed Feng Li to suggest it as he would have co up with an excuse himself.
After getting off the plane, he sent a ssage to Wen Qiao, asking if he could co see her. She said no, she didn’t want him to.
Fu Jinghen rembered what Qi Ming had said last ti, that won always say the opposite of what they an, that no ant yes, but unexpectedly, Wen Qiao’s no was just what it seed on the surface.
Soone was already accompanying her, and his presence was no longer so important to her, it might even be a nuisance.
If that was the case, then he would just pretend he had never been there.
Actually, during the ti they got engaged, he only saw Wen Qiao as a responsibility of his, thinking that she was just a girl in her twenties, who, though she liked soone else, still had to bind herself to him. Even if the main reason she got engaged to him was that her mother wanted to find her a good future, Fu Jinghen still felt like he was the one taking advantage.
So, Fu Jinghen was almost always ready to accommodate her.
But later on, he began to gradually discover the shining points about Wen Qiao and would find himself involuntarily focusing on her.
She dealt with her career with a maturity beyond her years, clearly aid, and was willing to endure any hardship without a word of complaint for sothing she was committed to.
She didn’t hide her ambition, knowing the rules of the entertainnt industry well, so she started with the principle "if it’s free, why not use it" and took away the role of the lead actress in a big historical IP from him, clearly aiming to pave the way for her career with his help.
She had her principles in interacting with others—her likes and dislikes were clear. If she disliked soone, she disliked them; she wasn’t arbitrary with her dislike, nor would she easily forgive.
She would often act spoiled and be willful with him, and before he could even react, she’d have him completely bewildered and agreeing to her requests.
She could buy designer bags without batting an eye, claiming she needed to reward herself after exhausting filming, but she would agonize for half a day over the decision to pay an extra ten yuan for shipping on sothing she wanted from Taobao.
Fu Jinghen hoped Wen Qiao would always stay sharp and unencumbered by the subtleties of human relationships, and unfettered by rules.
