Chapter 46 – The Main Spouse’s Status 2

Xiao Fang let out a cold snort. “It’s good that you know.”

Xiao Bai Lian: ??? Huh, how is this different from the plot I imagined?

“Young… Young Master Xiao?” Xiao Bai Lian’s eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Fang remained unmoved by this and continued his straightforward man’s speech: “Because of you, my family is short one shirt. You don’t know the cost of living until you run a household. Although it wasn’t a limited edition, it still costs one or two thousand. Tell me, how are you going to compensate for this?”

Compensate? Xiao Bai Lian had been working here for less than a month and hadn’t even received her salary. What could she use to compensate?

Stunned by this, Xiao Bai Lian’s speech became incoherent, and tears flowed down like a bursting river. “Young Master Xiao, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’m also considered Xiangnan’s cousin. Do you have to pick on a child like me here?”

Oh, so she’s even lowering her seniority.

Xiao Fang rolled his eyes dramatically and said sarcastically, “Oh, so you’re still a baby even though you’re over eighteen. This is the first time I’ve heard of that. I’ve never seen a baby rub lipstick marks on their boss’s boss.”

Xiao Bai Lian’s face stiffened. “I don’t understand what Young Master Xiao is talking about. Brother Xiangnan, please explain to Young Master Xiao, it’s not like that between us.” This successfully dragged Fei Xiangnan into the fray. Fei Tao secretly smiled; this cheap cousin wasn’t completely stupid after all. She was a cheap pawn to begin with, and they all wanted to see her used to her maximum potential.

“Xiangnan, it’s not that I’m lecturing you, but you can’t even have the final say in your own home? Your wife came to the company to slander someone, so you should be the one to resolve it.” Fei Tao knew his nephew’s temperament best. He was ruthless, sinister, and hated it most when others brought him trouble. Let’s see how that Xiao Fang could still be so stubborn.

“I think,” Fei Xiangnan’s presence was finally brought to the forefront. He had just said three words before being interrupted by Xiao Fang.

“What right do you think you have to say ‘you think’ right now?” Xiao Fang looked over with a furious expression. If one looked closely, there was also a hint of hurt in his eyes. Even if it was just an act, Fei Xiangnan’s heart was still wrenched.

Xiao Fang was already having a hard time with the pregnancy, and he had to come over to clean up this mess. Did he start feeling upset the moment he smelled the perfume on him? And his own personality was such that he would never burden others if he could solve things himself. When it came to family, perhaps this was also a kind of harm to him. Fei Xiangnan suddenly didn’t want to act anymore; it would be much more time-saving to just throw that Xiao Bai Lian out.

“What, you think you’re still in the right?” Xiao Fang glared over.

Fei Xiangnan’s eyes flickered, and he put on the look of a wronged little wife. “I… I didn’t know there was a lipstick mark on me before. I don’t know when it got there. You should sit down first. Your stomach will get uncomfortable if you stand for too long.” Fei Xiangnan carefully helped his partner sit down and then skillfully began to massage him.

Fei Tao on the side was completely dumbfounded. Was this still the ruthless nephew he knew? Who was this person with such a low posture now?

“Fei Xiangnan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to indulge this little star?”

Fei Xiangnan shot a cold glare over, making Fei Tao shiver involuntarily. “In the company, call me President Fei. It’s not your place to comment on my family. You should keep your things out of my office in the future. You can enjoy these unsavory things yourself.”

When Xiao Bai Lian heard this, she immediately found her role and began to cry delicately. “Brother Xiangnan, how can you say that about me?”

Fei Xiangnan was completely immune to this. “I can be even more ruthless, believe it or not. Your parents should also be working at a Fei Corporation subsidiary, right? If you don’t want them to be unable to support you, then shut up!” As he spoke, Fei Xiangnan glanced at Xiao Fang ingratiatingly. “Are you feeling better now?”

At this moment, Fei Tao and Xiao Bai Lian’s mouths could have fit an egg. What happened to Fei Xiangnan’s character? What was with this loyal dog seme sitting here?

Xiao Fang glanced at their expressions; he was more than halfway to success. He pouted. “What about the money for our shirt? It’s so expensive.”

Fei Tao: Where is it expensive? In the Fei family’s expenses, what does a shirt count for? Isn’t this obvious targeting?

Unexpectedly, Fei Xiangnan also nodded seriously. “Indeed, that’s the money for our child’s future can of milk powder. It can’t be wasted like this. Since you just graduated and have no money, we’ll just put it on your parents’ tab.”

“What should be the reason? What if the two elders don’t understand the situation and misunderstand us?” Xiao Fang added another blow, and Xiao Bai Lian’s face grew even paler.

Fei Xiangnan thought for a moment and enunciated clearly, “Just say that a distant cousin, ignoring her official boss, kept coming to my office to serve me coffee, and then very carelessly left a lipstick mark on my clothes.”

Duang!

Xiao Bai Lian’s face turned deathly pale. She felt that the two people sitting in front of her were not what she had imagined at all, but devils!

“I… I’ll compensate you. I beg you, please don’t…” Xiao Bai Lian burst into tears. Her father had no idea about her and her mother’s plan with the Fei family. He had been working honestly at the Fei subsidiary. If he found out about this, he would probably break her legs.

“What are you crying for! Did we do something wrong?” Fei Tao, who had been grim-faced, suddenly roared, startling Xiao Bai Lian into a hiccup, her sobs choked back.

Xiao Fang also retracted his hand with the payment QR code. A soft chuckle came from Fei Xiangnan’s side. It was very quiet, but one could tell he was very happy.

Fei Xiangnan had always won through strength and rarely resorted to verbal sparring. For one, it was a waste of time, and for another, he didn’t find it fun. But today, he truly felt it from Xiao Fang. Making this uncle anxious once in a while was quite enjoyable, and the key was that his partner was having a lot of fun.

Xiao Fang, on the other hand, was made restless by Fei Xiangnan’s laugh. It was too alluring. Unable to resist, Xiao Fang secretly took Fei Xiangnan’s hand, and Fei Xiangnan squeezed it back tightly.

Watching the two of them flirt silently, Fei Tao’s anger grew even stronger. So they were treating him as if he didn’t exist, huh?

“Are you two done? Don’t you think you’ve gone far enough?” Fei Tao directly took out his phone. Xiao Bai Lian stood by, sobbing silently, not daring to move. She was probably the most humble little secretary in history. On one hand, she was afraid of being berated; on the other, she was afraid of being scolded. She had none of the status a white lotus should have!

Really, if she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have done it in the first place!!!

Xiao Fang tugged on Fei Xiangnan’s sleeve and whispered, “Is your youngest uncle always like this, calling for backup whenever he can’t win an argument?”

Fei Tao shot a murderous glare over. In an office this size, he could still hear that.

Fei Xiangnan ignored him and nodded with a smile. “A common tactic.”

“You!” Just as Fei Tao was about to erupt, Fei Xiangnan took out his phone. Fei Tao subconsciously shut his mouth. After all, a single word from Fei Xiangnan could decide the flow of millions, or even tens of millions, in funds.

“Secretary Chen? Buy some cake and bring it to Young President Fei’s office. Yes, I’m here.” As Fei Xiangnan spoke, he looked at Xiao Fang. “What flavor do you want?”

“Banana, and sweet milk. Can I have a milk pudding too?” The milk pudding he had last time was super delicious!

Banana cake and milk pudding were just too adorable, weren’t they? Seeing his wife’s expectant expression, Fei Xiangnan’s sense of accomplishment rose once again.

Fei Xiangnan’s feeding enthusiasm was magnified to its peak. “Just buy according to this. Remember to have the shop heat the sweet milk once, and remember to buy the ** brand of milk pudding.” He remembered all the things his partner liked.

Xiao Fang couldn’t help but feel a little excited thinking about the snacks he was about to eat. The two of them completely ignored Fei Tao’s face, which had turned extremely dark in their exchange of glances.

They were flirting right in his face!

“Are you two done?”

“I didn’t even have morning tea today. You must be hungry. I just don’t know if the cake Secretary Chen buys will taste like the one at home.” Fei Xiangnan was a little worried. He was now treating Xiao Fang like a very fragile porcelain doll that must be carefully taken care of!

“It’s okay. Different tastes, different flavors. Why aren’t you eating?”

Fei Xiangnan rubbed Xiao Fang’s head. “I’ll take you out for lunch later, so I won’t eat now.”

“Fei Xiangnan!” Fei Tao exploded with anger.

When Fei Xiangnan looked at others, his expression completely changed, becoming extremely impatient and even somewhat gloomy. “If you’ve called someone, then shut up now. Don’t waste time.”

Fei Tao clenched his fists. “Fei Xiangnan, do you have any respect for me as your youngest uncle?”

Fei Xiangnan’s expression remained unchanged, his large hand still rubbing his wife’s small waist. He spoke the most infuriating words in the calmest tone, “Never.”

Xiao Fang gave Fei Tao a look as if he were looking at an idiot. Fei Tao was about to explode with anger. When had he ever been looked down upon by a little star like this? But looking at Fei Xiangnan’s protective stance, he didn’t dare to make a move and could only digest it on the spot.

By the time Xiao Fang finished a banana cake, the milk pudding, and drank half of the sweet milk, his great-aunt Liu Qian arrived at the office. The moment she entered, her venomous gaze swept over Xiao Fang.

At the thought of being able to cause trouble for Fei Xiangnan, she had happily gone out with a few madams for a facial. But halfway through, she received a call from Fei Tao. She was naturally furious that things had turned out this way.

Upon entering the office, she aimed her spearhead at the easiest target, Xiao Fang. “Xiao Fang, you have some nerve. The child isn’t even born yet, and you’re already bossing around the newcomer your great-aunt recommended. You want money, is that it?” The great-aunt pulled out a thick stack of red bills from her wallet and threw them directly at Xiao Fang. In an instant, a small area around Xiao Fang was showered with red bills.

Fei Tao felt a sense of relief in his heart, that pent-up anger finally released.

Xiao Bai Lian also quickly chose a side, tearfully supporting her great-aunt’s arm. “Great-aunt, you have to believe me. I just delivered some coffee and accidentally got a lipstick stain on him… sob, sob, sob~”

Liu Qian was much more direct than Fei Tao, shouting loudly, “So what if it was intentional? So what if it was unintentional? It’s not the place of a nouveau riche’s son to boss people around. Our Fei family has a hundred-year history. Some things are not worthy of being on the stage!”

Look, being thick-skinned really allows you to do whatever you want.

Fei Xiangnan’s face was grim. If Xiao Fang didn’t want to play around anymore, he would have thrown that old woman out the window long ago.

Xiao Fang stood up with an unchanged expression, swiped his finger across the screen a few times, and a familiar voice with a slight mechanical tone sounded: “So what if it was intentional? So what if it was unintentional? It’s not the place of a nouveau riche’s son to boss people around. Our Fei family has a hundred-year history. Some things are not worthy of being on the stage!”

Liu Qian glared at Xiao Fang. “What are you recording for? Want to sue me? Let me tell you, you’re not qualified!”

Xiao Fang sneered and stepped on the red banknotes. This was probably the first time in his life he had treated money like dirt. He had to say, the feeling under his feet was the most satisfying floor he had ever stepped on! The happiness of the poor!!!

Xiao Fang’s rebellious attire made him look even more difficult to provoke than usual, even subverting Liu Qian’s first impression of him.

“Great-aunt, it’s none of your business whether I’m something or not. But the one in my belly is your Fei family’s great-grandson. The child isn’t even out yet, and you’re already sending your distant, distant cousin to disgust me. What would Grandpa think if he heard your remarks? A great-grandson of direct lineage is not even comparable to your maternal relatives? Is the Fei family already in your Liu family’s hands, that you speak with such confidence?” Xiao Fang twisted Liu Qian’s intentions in various ways.

What was Liu Qian afraid of? Trying to reason with her was useless. She would use her seniority and age to shut you down in minutes. Only by hitting her where it hurt could she be destabilized.

Fei Xiangnan secretly smiled. His great-aunt was as stupid as ever, but this also served to highlight his wife’s intelligence!

Sure enough, as soon as the words were out, Liu Qian’s face turned pale. “What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say the Fei family was my Liu family’s? And when did I make a comparison?”

Xiao Fang wasn’t anxious at all. “Then I’ll ask Grandpa. Perhaps he can prove your innocence.”
