The sky outside the window was still dark and gloomy, and the cold dew and frost were tightly attached to the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, crystal clear but without any warmth.

Assistant Xu reached out and knocked on the door of the study room, and waited quietly for three seconds before pushing the door open.

The red sandalwood incense in the room is wafting, and there is a faint warmth in the dim light. Compared with the freezing weather outside, it is a completely different world.

The mahogany bookshelves were filled with dense books, as many as one wall. Fu Sili was sitting on the dark brown leather sofa in front of the bookshelves, with his legs crossed casually, and a cup of steaming black coffee in his hand.

He was wearing a fine white shirt without a tie, with broad shoulders and long legs. Even though he was sitting in a lazy posture at the moment, he still looked cool and cold.

"Boss Fu..." Assistant Xu put the documents in his hand on his desk, and said in a low voice, "It's been found out, the buyer behind that villa is indeed...Mr. Baiou."

After taking a short breath, he added in a low voice, "The price at the time of purchase was more than three times lower than the valuation of the property itself..."

"The reason?" Fu Sili asked in a flat tone.

Hanging down his eyes and looking through these materials carefully, every time he finished browsing a page completely, his face darkened a bit.

"Mr. Baiou used the name of Fu's Group to put pressure on all real estate trading centers in City A, so that no one dared to buy this villa at that time... That's why he was able to buy it at a very low price."

While Assistant Xu reported to him the inside story that he found out by following the vines, he secretly gasped.

His biological father, Lin Tianqi, was one of the people who invested in the oil tanker project. Because the capital chain of the preliminary project was broken, he had to sell his property to try to maintain turnover. , As a result, he ended up with no money and no money, and was heavily in debt.

How much do you hate Lin Tianqi?Assistant Xu couldn't imagine it, but only heard that Bai Ou lived with relatives since he was a child, and cut off contact with the Lin family shortly after he became an adult. It was not until Lin Ai returned to China that he reconnected with his family.

Seeing that he has no malice towards Lin Ai on weekdays, and is tolerant and loving, it is really unimaginable that all these things behind him are involved with him.

Fu Sili, who knew the truth, was obviously calmer than Assistant Xu imagined. He just closed the folder and pushed it aside, remained silent, and his jaw line was very flat.

This oppressive atmosphere didn't last long, and Fu Sili was the first to break the silence.

"I remember--"

His eyes were cold and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was trying to remember the details of the past, "After the news of the oil tanker terminal project's funding failure, Fu's bid for it was [-] million yuan."

This incident happened in the year when Assistant Xu first joined the job, and he had heard a little bit about it. He only knew that the person in charge at that time was Fu Sili's former assistant, Qi Song.

With his outstanding ability, Qi Song was promoted by the board of directors to be the manager of the bidding project department after successfully handling the matter of the oil tanker in the harbor.

Occupying an important position, he is responsible for all the investment projects acquired by Fu's foreign companies. Since then, he has made rapid progress and gradually has his own backstage team in the group.

"Seven hundred million..." Fu Sili smiled silently, but his eyes were as cold as sharp weapons, "Isn't seven hundred million enough for Lin Tianqi to come back?"

With a slight smile, he said these words casually, and his face changed suddenly in the next moment, and he knocked all the fragments on the table to the ground with his hands.

Veins popped up on his forehead, his handsome face was distorted, and he growled, "Check! Check it out for me! Find out who owns the money!..."

……

Lin Ai was half asleep and half awake, always feeling that someone was caressing his cheeks, the fingertips were slightly rough, and the warm touch moved from the arch of his eyebrows to the bottom of the eyelids, to the two plump and plump lips.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the man sitting silently by the bed, before he could retract his outstretched hand, half of his figure was hidden in the darkness, and the other half was exposed in the twilight of morning light.

"I woke you up." Fu Sili whispered, but he didn't have any intention of leaving.

"Why haven't you gone to the company yet?" Lin Ai rubbed his eyes and asked him, his voice was soft and sticky only when he hadn't woken up. Usually at this point, Fu Sili was already out of bed.

"I'll go later..." The man's handsome face was pressed down, and he kissed him on the cheek, and then lingered on his lips, with a slightly bitter mint leaf aroma.

Lin Ai could easily identify it. This is a foreign cigarette with a very light smell. After smoking, it will hardly leave the pungent smell of tobacco, but its unique bitter mint flavor is very unique.

Although Fu Sili didn't say anything, Lin Ai also guessed that he must have something on his mind at this time. In the blink of an eye, he simply stretched out his arm and hooked Fu Sili's neck, and gave him a wet kiss, which meant to comfort him. full.

"Every time you're not at home, I'm so lonely by myself, I don't know what to do..." Lin Ai said to him coquettishly, deliberately complaining about his busyness, trying to divert his slightly depressed mood this morning.

Sure enough, Fu Sili had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Aren't you still updating? Why don't you have nothing to do?"

Hearing this, Lin Ai was embarrassed, his cheeks turned red in an instant, he looked at him with wide eyes, and exclaimed, "You, you actually peeked at what I wrote!..."

Fu Sili only gave him a meaningful look, "Since you published it, it's not called peeping. I paid for it openly and honestly."

"Did you spend money?" Lin Ai's temples twitched, and he couldn't help but yanked his skirt, pressing him against himself, "How much did you spend?"

Fu Sili propped his hands on the pillow, carefully avoiding his stomach, staring into his watery eyes, and only said, "Just a little bit."

Lin Ai choked with anger, no wonder the sales volume of "Wind Direction" magazine has suddenly increased recently, and his manuscript fee has also increased a lot.

However, this is quite a lot. Compared with Fu Sili's little bit, it is a drop in the bucket, a drop in the ocean.

"So, where did all the magazines I bought go?" He asked again.

"The company." Fu Sili said calmly, "There are a lot of people."

Seeing Lin Ai's face turned gray, he comforted him, "It might be a good thing to let them relax in their daily work. My starting point is not selfish."

"Okay, you'd better have no selfishness." Lin Ai squeezed out the words through his teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked in the stomach, causing him to gasp in pain.

The two opened their eyes and looked at each other speechlessly for a while. Fu Sili first laughed, his narrow eyes flickering with shattered light. He looked at Lin Ai tenderly, and kissed his forehead again, "Okay," he said in a low voice. Coaxed, "Even the baby is not happy."

The sunlight leaked in from the crystal-clear glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows like flowing honey, covering the two people in the bed, creating a soft halo.

Even the tiny fluff on Lin Ai's face could be clearly seen, Fu Sili held him down again, kissed him several times, and then reluctantly got up and left.

As soon as he left, Lin Ai lay on the bed without any sleepiness at all. After tossing and turning, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After his eyes touched a bottle of men's perfume on the dressing table, he suddenly remembered the pianist who worked with Yin Cai.

After thinking about it, he felt that he was going out for a trip today. Fu Sili had raised him in the villa for too long, and he almost forgot about the outside world.

Downstairs, only Maya was busy making breakfast. Assistant Xu and Xia Tian were taken away by Fu Sili. His headache seemed to be very serious these days, and he had to run back and forth on various occasions to socialize.

Fortunately, he left the driver alone, just in case Lin Ai needed a car.

In fact, Lin Ai didn't have much interest in going out during this period. He asked to go out today, but he just wanted to go back to the company to have a look and go through the resignation procedures by the way.

After all, so many working days have been vacant, and colleagues must have complained in private.

As for the scandal at the engagement banquet that day, Lin Ai didn't think about how to explain it to them present, since the dust was settled, she didn't plan to say anything more.

After breakfast, I finally went out under Maya's thousands of instructions.

He was wearing a bloated down jacket, and his stomach was tightly covered. From his palm-sized face, he couldn't see any signs of pregnancy. Instead, he was raised by Fu Sili to have delicate skin, transparent pores, and a peach-like face. tender.

On the way to the company, he was still a little uneasy and felt guilty, but when he saw the familiar house number and corridor, the uneasiness was instantly swept away and turned into reluctance.

The front desk was still silent. He was drinking milk tea with a straw in his mouth. When he saw Lin Ai walking in from the door, he was so stunned that the straw fell into the mouth of the cup.

"Good morning..." Lin Ai greeted him first, and said with a smile, "I'm here to go through the resignation procedures, is Mr. Yin there?"

"Yes, yes." Nodding silently, he subconsciously picked up the landline to report to the boss's office, but he suddenly remembered that Lin Ai was not a foreigner, so he put down the phone embarrassingly.

"Bian Lin, you can go to the office to find Boss Yin, I don't need to tell her."

"It's okay," Lin Ai said softly, "Let's call and talk to Boss Yin."

Momo had no choice but to dial the office landline number again, but this time, he pressed the hands-free button. After connecting, he roughly told Yin Cai the identity of the visitor.

After a brief silence, Lin Ai thought that Yin Cai would refuse to meet her, but she didn't know that the woman's lazy voice came from the speakerphone, "Ask him, what is he doing in his company? Hurry up and come in..."

Lin Ai's heart, which had been on his mind since just now, was a little calmer now.

As soon as he stepped into the office area, he was recognized by his familiar colleagues. They gathered around and happily asked about Lin Ai's current situation, why he hadn't heard from him for a long time, and why he stopped talking in the work group.

It was tacit, and no one took the initiative to mention what happened at the engagement party.

After talking about old times, he walked towards Yin Cai's office. When he stood in front of the door, he hesitated for a few seconds before being called in by Yin Caiyang.

"Okay, you, Allen, you are going to be the wife of the president, so why are you just playing tricks on me like this?"

"Where is the show?" Lin Ai smiled helplessly and said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable..."

He sat down on the sofa opposite Yin Cai, "What are you talking about Mrs. President, stop making fun of me..."

"But to be honest, you're pretty good. With Fu Sili's child, you still dare to let Sheng Yu take advantage of you..." Yin Cai joked, laughing wildly, "If it weren't for Fu and Sheng The family spent money to suppress all the news releases of the day, I guess Allen, you will definitely become popular in China..."

"Who would be happy for this kind of red? At that time, many things were beyond my expectation..." He sighed, leaned on the sofa with a sleepy expression, and said, "I'm here today to resign."

"Resign?" Yin Cai raised her voice and pulled her smile down. "It's hard to get some clues in this circle. Are you really going back to be the wife of the president?"

"Allen, you are the most talented person in design I have ever met, don't give up your career just because a chaebol heir is getting divorced and wants to marry you..."

Hearing these words in Lin Ai's ears, he felt a little strange. He automatically filtered out the content of Yin Cai's persuasion, and only asked her, "Who is divorced? Who wants to marry me?"

"Are you kidding me?" Yin Cai squinted at him, her red lips curled up slightly, and said, "Don't tell me, you don't know about Fu Sili's divorce with his wife."

Hearing this, Lin Ai opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "I don't know! I really don't know... when did it happen?"

It didn't look like he was lying, Yin Cai recalled the news she heard, and told him after deliberation, "It's been a while..." She blinked her eyes and said, "You know, in this kind of circle , there is no secret that cannot be told."

But she warned again, "Even the person involved didn't tell you, so don't say I revealed it!"

Lin Ai couldn't care about what she said anymore, his mind was full of thoughts, they got divorced, they got divorced, Fu Sili and Bai Ou actually got divorced.

After a long time, he forced a smile to Yin Cai and said,

"You also know this kind of thing, Fu Sili will not take the initiative to tell me. Now because I am pregnant, I am raised in the villa every day, and I have no contact with outside sources..."

After a pause, he habitually touched his swollen abdomen with lowered eyes, and said softly:

"I don't blame him. He protects me so well... He's a thoughtful person again. He keeps many things in his heart."

"For the divorce, Fu Sili should have his own plans." Yin Cai nodded in agreement.

After pondering for a while, she asked again,

"According to this, that brother of yours hasn't contacted you until now? Did he just hand over Fu Sili to others like this?"

"I haven't contacted." Lin Ai thought for a while and replied, "Maybe I have contacted, but Fu Sili will definitely not let me know."

"Why do I feel that things are not so simple..." Yin Cai squinted at her phoenix eyes and said to herself.

When she was thinking about a problem, she liked to light a cigarette, and today was no exception.

Just as soon as she fumbled for the cigarette case on the table, she suddenly remembered that Lin Ai was still pregnant, so she withdrew her hand embarrassingly, and turned to ring the call bell.

"Bring in two cups of coffee—"

Lin Ai is not allowed to drink coffee when she is pregnant, Yin Cai may have forgotten it carelessly for a while, and he didn't plan to remind her aloud, thinking about sitting for a while and leaving.

Not long after, a new-faced Beta came in with a tray, tall and handsome, with an intern badge pinned to his coat.

To Lin Ai's surprise, he thoughtfully replaced another cup of coffee with hot cocoa.

"Pregnant women are not suitable for drinking coffee." He said with a slight smile, and put the cup of hot cocoa in front of Lin Ai's table, "I didn't know your taste, so I chose hot cocoa without authorization."

Although she was talking softly to Lin Aiwen, her eyes stayed on Yin Cai who was opposite for a few seconds.

Lin Ai quickly thanked him, and after he left, he secretly asked Yin Cai, "Where did you find the intern? Are you so discerning?"

"Oh, he..." There was a trace of strangeness in Yin Cai's eyes, she raised her hand and pretended not to care, and stroked the broken hair beside her ear, and said, "Graduates from University A, he was the only one at the job fair. The person chose our company."

A big?job fair?

Lin Ai couldn't help but think of the begging card in the tree hole.

Now that you're pregnant, it's time to find a time to fulfill your vows.

It's just that I don't know if the owner Fu Sili is willing to go with me.

However, thinking that it was his and Baiou's alma mater, Lin Ai gave up the idea of ​​wanting him to fulfill his wish together.

He couldn't help blaming himself for being impulsive at the beginning, and actually put up a sign in University A, which made the current situation awkward. No matter how you look at it, he seemed to have ulterior motives.

Yin Cai still firmly disagreed with his resignation at this time, and advised him to take a second job in the company, and wait until Fu's new perfume pianist is launched.

After thinking about it, Lin Ailuo agreed. After all, Yin Cai's company is the name behind the pianist's plan, which is more respectable than him, a nobody in the industry.

After getting out of the company, Lin Ai, who had a full stomach, got a little tired, and got into the car and asked the driver to go back to the villa in the suburbs first.

The road we came from is now in peak traffic season, so the driver had to go back by another road in order to save time.

This road happens to pass through the CBD business district of Shenghua Energy.

It was originally located in the city's economic, technological, and cultural intensive area, and it was the golden zone of City A. Now it was a working day, but the flow of people entering and leaving the shopping mall was still bustling and continuous.

It's full of money... Lin Ai felt very emotional in his heart, and while waiting for the traffic light, he leaned on the window glass and looked out.

When I was studying abroad, why didn't I think the Sheng family was so rich?At that time, Shenghua Energy seemed to be an unknown medium-sized enterprise.

When Sheng Yu first asked him to share the rent, he described himself as a good young man working hard in a foreign country. In order to save rent, he only wanted to find a clean and refreshing Omega roommate.

Thinking about it now, it was just that person who pitied him for living in the dark and damp school dormitory and gave him a step down.

Lin Ai sighed faintly, sat quietly for a few seconds, and when she was about to look away from the car window, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

The man was handsome and conspicuous as always in the crowd, his unique facial features were very deep and charming, and his figure under the dark black suit was tall and straight.

He walked quickly with a serious face, surrounded by several bodyguards, and sat in the black car waiting on the side of the road. He didn't look up to glance at the side of the road at all, and the people behind him got into the other two cars.

That car looked familiar, Lin Ai noticed the license plate, it was clearly Qi Song's car.

When did Sheng Yu and Sheng Yu have contact with Qi Song?

He recalled what happened at Sheng's house in his mind, but he couldn't remember any information about Qi Song. He only vaguely remembered that at Fu Sili's birthday party, Sheng Yu's tone seemed to have known Baiou a long time ago.

At that time, they were speaking words that Lin Ai could hardly understand, and their smiles were subtle.

Bai Ou, Sheng Yu, Qi Song...

After thinking about these people over and over again in his memory, Lin Ai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why, so he could only comfort him because he was thinking too much.

The business contacts are normal, and it's not unusual for me to meet at a reception...

Even so, my heart was still heavy and oppressed like a stone was pressed on.

There seemed to be something invisible and intangible waiting for me ahead.
