Chapter 9 – Want to Eat It? Kneel.
On the way back, Fei Xiangnan felt an unusual agitation, as if a thorn was stuck in his heart. Looking at the cheerful Xiao Fang beside him, who was telling him cold jokes, felt like punching a cotton ball, which only made him more frustrated.
The person in question was so happy; if he said anything, it would just be him overthinking things.
“Stop all your work after five months,” Fei Xiangnan suddenly said as they were nearing Xiao Fang’s hotel.
At five months, his belly would be impossible to hide. Xiao Fang nodded in agreement. After all, he wasn’t someone who would abandon his child for work.
That was the only real conversation they had on the way. The rest was just Xiao Fang telling cold jokes.
Fei Xiangnan finally endured it until they were downstairs at the hotel, his face taut.
At this point, Xiao Fang couldn’t help but start acting up again. He forced a smile and said, “President Fei, would you like to come up for a cup of tea?”
Xiao Fang expected Fei Xiangnan to refuse and was just making a polite gesture.
As the nth underling of the villain, he had to let the boss know what a loyal subordinate he was.
“Sure.”
“Okay, okay.” It was only after Xiao Fang said this that he realized something was wrong. This wasn’t in his script! Did President Fei walk onto the wrong set?
Seeing Xiao Fang’s frozen expression, Fei Xiangnan finally felt that his trip wasn’t in vain. After all, work was so tiring, and there was no need for him to come here. If he came, he had to get something out of it.
“What, you’re not going to take me up?” Fei Xiangnan threw a mocking smile at Xiao Fang.
This… this must be the big brother testing him. He absolutely could not back down here!
Xiao Fang secretly cheered himself on!
“Not at all, President Fei, this way please.” Xiao Fang looked like he was bravely facing death, then quietly put on his sunglasses.
As if sensing what Fei Xiangnan was about to say, Xiao Fang spoke first, “This is also for President Fei’s reputation!”
Fei Xiangnan resisted the urge to roll his eyes countless times and followed him up. A valet automatically came to park the car.
Fei Xiangnan had thought that with Xiao Fang’s nouveau riche taste, he would be staying in a luxury suite at the very least. But when he saw the ordinary single suite before him, he fell silent.
Where had this person been reborn from?
“President Fei, what would you like to drink?” As soon as Xiao Fang entered, he squatted in front of his small fridge, leaving no gap.
Fei Xiangnan raised an eyebrow. “I’ll see for myself.”
Xiao Fang sprang up as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “No, no, President Fei, please allow me to do this little thing for you!”
Fei Xiangnan raised an eyebrow. “Move aside, let me see.”
This time, Xiao Fang refused to budge, looking as if he were ready to die with his little fridge.
“Xiao Fang.”
Xiao Fang swallowed.
“President Fei, I’ll help you…” This time, being stared at by Fei Xiangnan, he had no momentum at all.
“You have too much pocket money and nowhere to spend it?” Fei Xiangnan retorted, having already guessed what this guy had done.
He did have nowhere to spend it. After all, his dad was still a tycoon. Xiao Fang thought aggrievedly. It was hard enough to become a rich second generation, and now he couldn’t even spend money. But in front of this big brother, he had absolutely no guts to talk back.
“Is your brother’s chastity more important, or is junk food more important?” Fei Xiangnan dropped a bombshell.
Xiao Fang moved aside with a look of despair.
He had sacrificed so much. The protagonist had better see his good deeds! Wuwuwu.
Fei Xiangnan stared at the gap Xiao Fang slowly revealed, and raised an eyebrow.
Well, well. Potato chips, fried chicken, coke, all kinds of puffed snacks, and bags of meat jerky.
He had done a beautiful job. He must have gone to great lengths to evade Que Jiang’s surveillance.
Fei Xiangnan took them out one by one. He hadn’t finished dinner today, so although it was a bit much, it was worth it to provoke this simpleton.
“Since you’re treating me, I’ll eat it all. No objections, right? Next time I catch you, I’ll confiscate your pocket money directly.” Fei Xiangnan tore open a bag.
It was as if a hole had been torn in Xiao Fang’s heart. He had spent so much effort to secretly buy these little treasures. He had planned to eat only one bag a day!!!
“This is what you call chocolate? Heh.”
“This fried chicken isn’t flavorful at all, too dry.”
“What part of the cow was this beef cut from? It’s so poorly handled.”
…
Xiao Fang smiled on the outside but was cursing on the inside. If it tastes so bad, why are you eating it with such relish! Who are you putting on a show for?
His poor child! He probably wouldn’t even know what snacks were after he was born!
By the time he got to the last item, his favorite pork jerky, Xiao Fang’s face was already green.
Taking out the last piece, Fei Xiangnan waved the jerky in his hand. “Want it?”
Xiao Fang’s gaze swayed left and right with the snack. If he had a tail right now, it would definitely be wagging happily.
“If… President Fei is willing to give it to me,” Xiao Fang said with feigned modesty, unable to help but swallow.
“Heh, kneel and beg me,” Fei Xiangnan said with his deadly poisonous tongue.
Xiao Fang’s smile faded. Everyone has their limits.
“Ding!” “Brother Xiao! You’re back!”
The door was opened without warning, and Xiao Ma’s mouth dropped open in shock at the scene in the room.
Xiao Ma: Ah!
Que Jiang: Oh~
Xiao Fang and Fei Xiangnan: …
Xiao Fang was hugging Fei Xiangnan’s thigh, kneeling on the floor under the bed, his face pressed tightly against Fei Xiangnan’s knee. His perky little peach, wrapped in casual pants, was sticking out.
This… could it be!
“Have you seen enough?” Fei Xiangnan swept a dangerous glance at Xiao Ma. How dare he interrupt his fun.
“Sorry Brother Xiao, my apologies for interrupting!” Bang!
The door was slammed shut again.
Xiao Fang’s thoughts unfolded like a meme: Young man, it’s not what you think!
When he looked back at Fei Xiangnan, Fei Xiangnan had already put the pork jerky in his mouth and was chewing on it.
With a matter-of-fact look, he said, “Shouldn’t you blame your assistant for not getting to eat it?”
To be honest, you never intended to give it to me from the start!
This time, Xiao Fang couldn’t pretend anymore. With a sullen face, he slowly crawled back to his chair and turned his back to Fei Xiangnan.
At this moment, Fei Xiangnan felt that Xiao Fang was like an angry cat, his non-existent tail swinging back and forth.
Fei Xiangnan finally felt much more at ease, but also much softer.
“Some things are not good for the baby. It’s not that I won’t let you eat them. If you want to eat fried chicken, just tell Que Jiang. His chef is certified, so making fried chicken is not a problem.”
Xiao Cat’s ears perked up.
“He can also make meat jerky. I’ll order high-quality beef from abroad, but you shouldn’t eat too much.”
Xiao Cat turned to look at Fei Xiangnan, his round eyes starting to shine.
Fei Xiangnan was not used to being looked at with such sincerity. Thinking that it was getting late, he stood up.
“I have something to do at the company, so I won’t stay long. You take care of yourself while you’re filming here.”
“Yes, yes! President Fei, I’ll see you out!” Xiao Fang was now thinking about Que Jiang’s beef jerky.
Fei Xiangnan glanced at Xiao Fang, but in the end, didn’t say much and walked towards the door. He didn’t intend for Xiao Fang to see him off. After all, he didn’t want this simpleton to follow him around wearing sunglasses.
As he touched the doorknob, Fei Xiangnan couldn’t suppress the thorn in his heart and finally said, “Your child will only call you ‘Mother-Father’.”
“Huh?” Xiao Fang hadn’t reacted from his irreverent state.
What did he mean, only call him that?
“President Fei, are you?”
Fei Xiangnan looked at this slow-witted fool. “I only want one child. I don’t need a wife.”
Not now, and not ever.
Xiao Fang was so stunned that he didn’t even notice Fei Xiangnan leaving. In the end, he couldn’t help but laugh foolishly.
Did this mean he could still see his child in the future?
Fei Xiangnan suddenly felt that this villainous big brother wasn’t as bad as he had imagined. At the very least, he wouldn’t cruelly separate them.
Just as Fei Xiangnan’s car started, a text message came in. The sender was “Simpleton.”
President Fei, be safe on the road. Rest well when you get back, don’t overwork yourself. Seeing you look so tired makes my heart ache, I’m in so much pain!
Fei Xiangnan looked at the message thoughtfully. Xiao Fang must be one of those people who can’t be serious for more than three minutes.
But this time, the corners of his tightly pressed lips couldn’t help but turn up, completely ignoring his bloated stomach.
He started the car, and with a trail of exhaust, the small car disappeared into the night.
***
Xiao Fang felt that today’s breakfast was particularly difficult. Even though he was eating noodles cooked in chicken soup that Que Jiang had simmered since five in the morning—the noodles were also hand-pulled by Que Jiang, chewy and elastic, and the side dish was freshly made sweet and sour cabbage—but…
The guy next to him was making him really uncomfortable. And it wasn’t a constant stare, but an indescribable look from time to time. He knew the reason, but he didn’t really want to explain.
Xiao Ma saw that Brother Xiao could endure to this extent and couldn’t help but feel envious. He really was his Brother Xiao. But while Brother Xiao could endure it, he couldn’t. He really wanted to know the truth, okay?
“Brother Xiao,” Xiao Ma whispered.
“I’m done eating, I’m going to the bathroom.” Xiao Fang had already anticipated this and stood up to leave.
“Xiao Fang, I was just looking for you. Can we talk?” Before Xiao Fang could touch the doorknob, Zhang Hang walked towards him. This person had been officially blacklisted by him last night.
He never expected this guy to be Yan Yunyang’s cousin. Now that he was looking for him, he knew what it was about.
“I’m just about to go to the bathroom. Maybe next time,” Xiao Fang quickly bypassed Zhang Hang.
Zhang Hang didn’t mind and followed Xiao Fang with his hands in his pockets. “Sure, let’s go together. We can talk on the way.”
Xiao Fang stopped abruptly. When it came to thick skin, there was always someone better.
He gave him a fuming look, stopped walking out, and came back, sitting down obediently in his chair.
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Brother Xiao!” Xiao Ma couldn’t hold back.
“You shut up!” Xiao Fang’s round eyes glared at him, fiercely cute!
Xiao Ma could only cast a wronged look. He, Xiao Ma, had finally fallen out of favor.
“What did my cousin say to you yesterday?” Zhang Hang pulled over a chair and gave Xiao Fang a gossipy look.
Xiao Fang looked at him faintly. “It’s adult business. Why are you so interested?”
Zhang Hang waved his hand. “Stop pretending. I’ve been hearing about your story throughout my entire adolescence.”
This time, Xiao Fang had a better idea of the situation. “As I thought.”
