The weather in City A was getting hotter by the day. Fei Hu, carrying a bag, felt a bit sweaty by the time he returned to his room. He quickly opened the window to let some air circulate. After a few days, a light layer of dust had settled in the room, so Fei Hu began to clean up; he was someone who loved cleanliness.
"Hey, just got back? Jumping right into work, are we? Quite diligent," a woman's melodious voice came from the doorway.
Fei Hu turned around and saw Alice smiling at him. After a few days apart, he thought she looked even more beautiful. She wore a light yellow jumpsuit that was quite short, showcasing her long and sexy legs, a slim waist, and her bosom, which was prominent but not exaggerated.
"What's wrong? Can't recognize me after just a few days? You look so silly," Alice said as she walked in.
Fei Hu snapped back to reality and smiled, saying, "It's not that I don't recognize you; it's just that you're so beautiful it makes me feel like I've encountered a fairy. My mind is all scattered; how can I talk to you?"
"Well, after returning home, your mouth is as sweet as if it were smeared with honey. How come you're back so soon? You seemed quite far away; you should have stayed longer," Alice said, her big eyes wandering over Fei Hu.
Feigning helplessness, Fei Hu sighed and said, "I had to take care of things at home before coming out to earn money. It's not good to be away from work for too long. Where are you off to? It's almost lunchtime." He noticed Alice was carrying a small bag; could it be that she was just heading to work? If so, he could catch a ride with her.
"I went out with friends last night and got back late, so I didn't want to get up this morning. I'm just heading to work now," Alice said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu happily said, "Then let's go together! Wait a moment while I tidy up."
Just before the shift change at noon, Fei Hu stepped out of Alice's Land Rover carrying several bags of various sizes. The sharp-eyed Team Leader Wang immediately shouted, "Fei Hu is back!" Several security guards preparing for their shift rushed towards him as they spotted what he was carrying.
In the ensuing scramble, Fei Hu ended up with only one small bag left in his hand. This was something he had specifically saved for Wang Qian; he wanted to pull a fast one on her to prove that he had indeed returned home and also express his gratitude.
As it was mealtime, the entire office building felt empty. Fei Hu knocked on Wang Qian's office door and waited for a while before hearing her lazy voice say, "Come in!"
He pushed the door open and walked in to find Wang Qian leaning back in her swivel chair looking weary. She seemed to have aged a few years and appeared listless. She lifted her head and softly asked, "You're back; have a seat." She gestured toward the chair in front of her.
"Vice President Wang, these are some local specialties from my hometown. I brought them for you to try," Fei Hu said as he placed the bag on Wang Qian's desk.
Wang Qian's face lit up upon hearing this. She quickly sat up straight and opened the bag. Smiling, she said, "Thank you! It's rare for you to be so thoughtful. By the way, how is your grandfather doing? If he's not well, you can stay a few more days; there's no need to rush back." Wang Qian suddenly seemed much more understanding.
Fei Hu smiled and replied, "It's all good now; thank you, Vice President Wang."
"Cut it out, you've really changed. Being so polite to me, are you afraid Ye Xiaofei will get jealous?" Wang Qian's eyes were fixed on Fei Hu.
Fei Hu shook his head and said, "What does it matter to her? You really think too much. She's just a female tyrant, always thinking about how to mess with me. What could she possibly be jealous of? Hey, Wang, I can't help but notice you're not in great spirits. Are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Qian glanced at Fei Hu with a hint of gratitude and sighed, "Sister, I'm just not happy inside."
Fei Hu smiled and didn't press further. He thought to himself, if you're still feeling good inside, then my trip here was pointless.
Some are happy while others are worried. Fei Hu learned from Team Leader Wang that Ye Wei hadn't shown up for work in about three or four days. There was much speculation within the company; some said he might be leaving Sheng Wei. Upon hearing this, Fei Hu merely smiled.
The entire afternoon passed without Fei Hu seeing Ye Xiaofei, the person he most wanted to meet. Was she not coming to work at Sheng Wei? Doubts lingered in his mind, but he didn't dare call her to ask.
After work, Fei Hu changed clothes and walked alone down the street, glancing around and specifically looking for beautiful women. Suddenly, he heard a screech of brakes behind him. Turning around, he saw Ye Xiaofei and Yingzi in a car smiling at him.
Fei Hu walked over without saying a word, opened the car door, and got in. Ye Xiaofei turned back to look at him twice and smiled, "What are you looking at? Were you waiting for some beauty again?"
"Hehe, wasn't I just waiting for you two?" Fei Hu replied with a smile.
Yingzi stepped on the gas, and the car started moving. Ye Xiaofei turned her head as if she didn't recognize him and looked him up and down before pouting and saying, "It's been a few days since we last met, and you've become quite slick-tongued and dark-skinned. I didn't go to work today; how did you know we would pass by here?"
Fei Hu was momentarily speechless. No wonder he hadn't seen Ye Xiaofei all afternoon. Yingzi came to his rescue by saying with a smile to Ye Xiaofei, "That's not right, Sister Xiaofei. I went out with him; if anyone's gotten darker, it should be me. You didn't say anything like that to me."
Ye Xiaofei smiled a bit shyly. It was then that Fei Hu understood; although it was just a simple remark, it contained Ye Xiaofei's concern for him. This kind of woman is so strong-willed that her way of caring is different from others.
Before long, they arrived at Ye Xiaofei's villa. Fei Hu couldn't figure out why he had come to her house. While he was lost in thought, Yingzi called out to him, "Stop daydreaming! There's something in the trunk; help me move it."
Fei Hu responded and got out of the car. By the time he reached the trunk, Ye Xiaofei had already opened it; it was filled with various food items. He picked up seven or eight items by himself and entered the living room where the cook greeted him and took the items into the kitchen.
At that moment, Sister Wu approached with a smile on her face and softly said, "Brother is upstairs in the study; you can go up."
"Okay," Fei Hu politely acknowledged Sister Wu before heading upstairs.
In the study, Ye Cheng was busy writing with a brush. On the large desk lay several pieces of calligraphy he had completed. Fei Hu looked over them one by one and saw that the characters were written with great vigor and elegance; it was clear that the Ye father-son duo had deep expertise in this area as well.
Ye Cheng put down his brush and smiled, saying, "How's my writing? Can it be considered good?"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect Grandpa to also like calligraphy. This cursive script by Wang Xizi isn't something just anyone can write," Fei Hu said as he began to gesture with his hands.
Ye Cheng stroked his white beard and laughed heartily, "Little brother, you really make me see you in a new light. You have some knowledge of calligraphy."
"Grandpa, how can you talk like that? What little brother? You're raising him too high," Ye Xiaofei and Yingzi walked in as they spoke.
Ye Cheng realized he had gotten carried away in his excitement and laughed, "It's no big deal; it's just a title. The key is that I've found someone who shares my interests. Unlike you two, who are completely clueless about this."
Ye Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Fei Hu and said, "A pig's nose stuck with a green onion looks quite similar. I just don't believe he can wield a sword and write with a brush. Even if he could write, it wouldn't be much different from what I write. Don't talk about having any expertise."
Fei Hu felt a bit displeased upon hearing this; Ye Xiaofei was underestimating him. Why couldn't he write with a brush?
At that moment, Sister Wu walked in and smiled, "Fei Hu, Xiaofei is just trying to provoke you. Why don't you show us your skills? Let's see what kind of person can write with a brush."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu immediately rolled up his sleeves, took a fresh piece of rice paper, smoothed it out with his hands, and then pressed it down with Old Master Ye's iron ruler. The entire motion was quick and fluid; Ye Cheng nodded in approval as he watched.
Ye Xiaofei remained unconvinced. She crossed her arms over her shoulders and laughed, "Anyone can do that; there's no need to show off."
Hey, what's wrong with this woman today? Why is she always against him? Fei Hu felt extremely confused.
