Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Full-ti Wife and Female CEO
But now during work hours, she gives off the aura of an unapproachable female CEO.
Li Yufei noticed her distraction and gently tapped her: “Mrs. Du?”
Guan Yue snapped back to her senses and hurriedly said, “When I went to the hospital the day before yesterday, I really wanted to sincerely thank you and Junjun, as Junjun saved Xixi. If it hadn’t been for Junjun…”
Li Yufei frowned more and more as she listened.
She smiled politely and waited for her to finish her rambling, then said, “I don’t like to beat around the bush. Surely, Mrs. Du didn’t co just to talk about this, did she?”
Guan Yue was taken aback, carefully considered her words, and tentatively began, “It’s like this… Junjun needs soone to take care of him in the hospital, and Shaoheng is running back and forth between the company and the hospital every day. I’m afraid he’ll get too tired, and I’m worried about him. Moreover, he has been a young master since he was little and doesn’t know how to take care of others. How about I hire a nurse for Junjun?”
Li Yufei smiled and countered, “Does Mrs. Du think I can’t afford to hire a nurse?”
Guan Yue quickly waved her hands, “No, that’s not it…”
Li Yufei concluded, “Does Mrs. Du feel that taking care of this child is occupying too much of your husband’s valuable ti?”
She tried hard to extract the main point from Guan Yue’s long-winded words.
Being such a ti-conscious person, she was sowhat annoyed listening to her long lecture, so she took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag and lit one.
Guan Yue suddenly stopped talking, instinctively covering her mouth with a handkerchief: “Do you smoke?”
Li Yufei replied, “Can’t you handle the sll of smoke?”
She imdiately extinguished the cigarette, “Got into the habit from too many social engagents, please don’t mind, Mrs. Du.”
In the business world, one mostly deals with male bosses.
Eating, drinking, and other excesses can’t be accompanied, so Li Yufei picked up the habit of smoking, which is also considered a “bad habit” of socializing, but it was out of necessity.
Li Yufei lightly tapped her fingers on the table: “Actually, Mrs. Du need not worry. I know Shaoheng… your husband, he has his own family, and while taking care of Junjun, he should consider his wife and daughter. I’ll discuss this with him later.”
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue smiled in satisfaction and asked, “The child… will stay with you in the future?”
Li Yufei: “Yes. Once he’s healed, I’ll take him back to the Li Family and change his surna to ‘Li’.”
Guan Yue nodded thoughtfully.
This matter actually pleased her.
The dishes were gradually brought to the table.
The two won quietly cut their steak.
Guan Yue suddenly thought of sothing and said, “In the future… even if the child is taken back to the Li Family, he still needs his father’s company. I don’t mind this at all. If convenient, Shaoheng can bring the child over to stay for a few days. But…”
Li Yufei finally sensed the hidden aning in her words, and her voice softened slightly: “Mrs. Du, why not speak plainly?”
Guan Yue was taken aback.
Talking with Li Yufei, she seed as sharp as a knife, without any roundaboutness, which made her sowhat uncomfortable.
She was used to being indirect, after all, she liked to keep things decent.
But since Li Yufei requested it, she figured she might as well be more straightforward: “I know you and Shaoheng had a very deep relationship. But since you’ve broken up, you’ve both started your own families and careers. From now on, you should avoid suspicion, and preferably… unless there’s sothing specific, don’t appear together. Otherwise, outsiders might gossip.”
Li Yufei suddenly paused in cutting her steak.
She furrowed her brow, put down her cutlery, casually grabbed a handkerchief, wiped her white jade-like fingers, and then dabbed the corners of her mouth. Leaning back slightly in her chair, a slight trace of displeasure finally appeared on her exquisite face: “Are you afraid I’m going to steal your man?”
Guan Yue was taken aback by her directness and froze.
Li Yufei looked straight at her, waiting for a long ti. When Guan Yue didn’t respond, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why isn’t Mrs. Du speaking?”
Guan Yue said, “That’s not what I ant.”
Li Yufei: “Then what do you an? You specifically arranged to et here and talked at length, just to hint at ? That I’ve been getting too close to Du Shaoheng lately?”
Guan Yue couldn’t help but say, “Yesterday I heard him call you ‘Yufei’, don’t you find that very intimate?”
Li Yufei: “Intimate?”
Guan Yue: “Only people in love would call each other so intimately!”
Li Yufei: “At that ti, he called ‘Fei’.”
Guan Yue: “…”
Li Yufei, sowhat displeased, said, “If you think him calling ‘Yufei’ is too intimate, then how should he address ? If he directly used my na, first, he doesn’t have that privilege, second, he’s the child’s father, I’m the child’s mother, wouldn’t it feel impersonal otherwise?”
Guan Yue started feeling a bit disturbed.
In fact, she had never heard Du Shaoheng ntion Li Yufei before; she didn’t know that when he dated Li Yufei, they’d been so intimate.
Perhaps out of so masochistic tendency, she found herself wanting to know more about their past.
Guan Yue asked, “At that ti, he must have loved you a lot, right?”
Li Yufei found her question amusing.
Should she lie?
Li Yufei: “He loved more than anyone else.”
Guan Yue was shocked.
She asked in a trembling voice, “If he loved you that much, then why did you break up?”
Li Yufei: “Because unlike him, I loved myself more.”
She did not understand why Guan Yue had to ask these things.
Li Yufei said lightly, “All of this is in the past. Stop asking.”
Guan Yue, still unwilling to give up, asked, “And you? Do you still love him now?”
Li Yufei’s expression froze once more.
Guan Yue clasped her hands together nervously, eagerly waiting for her answer.
If Li Yufei said she didn’t love him, then she could be completely at ease.
Li Yufei said, “Mrs. Du, don’t you find this question childish? Is the answer important?”
Guan Yue said, “Why don’t you just answer directly? Is it that you haven’t let go of him yet?”
Li Yufei smiled, elegantly rubbed her wrist, and with a glance of her red lips, said word for word, “Love? Of course, I love him. Next to myself, he’s the person I love the most. The only man I, Li Yufei, have ever loved. Even now, I still love him.”
Guan Yue’s face turned pale.
Li Yufei said, “So don’t be paranoid or think that I’m fighting with you over a man. If I really had such intentions, Guan Yue, what would you use to keep him?”
Impulsively, Guan Yue said, “If you have such intentions, then we are enemies!”
Li Yufei was montarily stunned and looked at Guan Yue, giving her a gentle scrutiny.
She imagined that throughout the years, Du Shaoheng had protected Guan Yue well; Guan Yue had a good family growing up. As a child, her father doted on her, and after growing up, her husband cherished her. Married to Du Shaoheng as a full-ti wealthy housewife, even as a mother, she still seed like a princess raised in an ivory tower, her face full of innocence.
Li Yufei let out a cold laugh: “Regardless of one’s purpose, I advise anyone not to beco my enemy.”
Having said that, she slowly stood up.
