Chapter 8 – Cheating During Marriage? Absolutely Not!

Saying goodbye to an ambiguous old flame, only to find your current husband standing right behind you—how many people could say they’ve had such an experience?

Xiao Fang turned around stiffly, like a broken music box. Fei Xiangnan was standing right in front of him, the dangerous glint in his eyes already obvious.

“Pres-Pres-President Fei, what brings you to Lin City on business? Why didn’t you let me know sooner? I would have definitely come to pick you up!” Don’t panic, I absolutely cannot panic! I did not cheat during our marriage!

Fei Xiangnan looked at this person, and for some reason, a sense of betrayal welled up inside him. He had always been born into a family full of schemes; his parents were as good as non-existent to him. He didn’t trust anyone. Because he didn’t trust anyone, he couldn’t be betrayed. But this time, this strange and weak feeling gave him an unprecedented sense of displeasure.

“If you want to end our cooperation, you don’t need to do all this. I’ve said it before, I, Fei Xiangnan, am not short of this one child.” When Fei Xiangnan looked at Xiao Fang’s stomach, his eyes carried an extremely strong killing intent.

Xiao Fang subconsciously took a few steps back. His instincts told him that this killing intent was no joke.

Fei Xiangnan sneered, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. His entire body seemed to be tense, a hard, indestructible facade displayed before him for the first time. If their first meeting had only shown Fei Xiangnan’s surface-level displeasure, then this time, he had truly hit a nerve.

This person’s temperament was not what it seemed on the surface. The blackening factor within him had not disappeared just because of him.

Fei Xiangnan advanced step by step, forcing Xiao Fang to retreat. Soon, he was at the edge of the road.

“President Fei, could you give me a chance to explain?” Cold sweat beaded on Xiao Fang’s forehead.

“Am I that irrational of a person? If you have something to say, just say it.” Fei Xiangnan said this on the surface, but the oppressive feeling emanating from him didn’t stop. In fact, it grew even stronger. This was not the attitude of someone who wanted to talk things out properly, was it?!!

Xiao Fang had no choice. He gritted his teeth and chose the most dangerous yet safest method.

He stopped his retreat and lunged forward. “President Fei! We just had a normal meal together! The whole crew was there! And I was talking to him about my brother’s affairs! Wuwuwu~”

Before Fei Xiangnan could react, this piece of sticky candy had already latched onto him, and he couldn’t peel it off.

“Get off.”

“You can’t abandon me and the baby!” Xiao Fang hugged Fei Xiangnan, rubbing his head wildly against his shoulder, wailing without shedding a single tear.

Fei Xiangnan looked down at the sticky candy with an ugly expression. The fluffy head was restlessly rubbing against him, its soft hair looking like a squirrel’s tail. The killing intent that had just risen was inexplicably rubbed away.

“You may not have any shame, but I do. Stand up and talk to me properly.” Fei Xiangnan looked at the passersby who were giving him strange looks, feeling like he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

Xiao Fang looked up with the pitiful eyes of a puppy. “President Fei, I really didn’t cheat during our marriage.”

Fei Xiangnan gave him a deep look. “Get off and we’ll talk properly.”

“Wuwu~ You don’t believe me.”

“When have I ever believed you?” Fei Xiangnan retorted without hesitation.

Xiao Fang stared at Fei Xiangnan for three seconds, then shamelessly buried his face in Fei Xiangnan’s chest again, his legs even wrapping around Fei Xiangnan’s calves. To outsiders, this looked like a blatant public display of affection.

After watching from a distance for a while, Que Jiang finally decided to go over. He could roughly understand how devastated President Fei must be feeling. But just as he took a few steps, he was grabbed by Xiao Ma. When he tried to break free, he saw Xiao Ma’s shocked face.

“No way, why did Brother Xiao find another one without telling me? What are you going over there for? Do you know something?”

“I’m just going to see what’s happening.” Que Jiang prepared to shake off Xiao Ma, but Xiao Ma seemed to have anticipated it and wrapped his other hand around him.

“What are you doing? Don’t you know how to be an assistant? Even though our hearts are breaking that Brother Xiao found someone new without telling us, if you ruin Brother Xiao’s good time, you’ll be waiting to be fired! It’s not a big deal if you get fired, but if you ruin Brother Xiao’s good time, I’ll hunt you down even if you quit!” Xiao Ma said with conviction, clutching his heart in a pained manner. In short, a drama queen.

Que Jiang didn’t want to expose the fact that he just didn’t like him. But in this situation, he still didn’t want Xiao Ma to see his boss. Otherwise, with his temperament, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause.

Que Jiang sighed. He could only wait for a signal from his boss. He looked over again, and within three seconds, his eyes widened in surprise.

The boss had scooped up his octopus-like wife, put her in the car, and driven away from the scene.

Could this really be true love?!

“Ah, Brother Xiao left with his boyfriend. What about us?”

A flock of crows seemed to fly over their heads.

After being put in the car by Fei Xiangnan, Xiao Fang was forcefully torn away. Because Fei Xiangnan was driving, he had no chance to cling to him again, as he had no desire to die together.

So, the octopus, Xiao Fang, could only obediently fasten his seatbelt and watch the vehicles ahead with a good-boy smile. The car lights were really pretty.

“You have one minute to explain.”

“PresidentFeiit’slikethismybrother-in-lawYanYunyangstillhasn’tmadeupwithmybrotherandmybrotherisstubbornsowasworriedabouttheirrelationshipsoItookthistimetoofferthemsomeguidancewhichisaslittleasIcandotomybrotherlyduty!” Xiao Fang said everything in one breath, his smiling face turning red from the effort. After he finished, he started panting heavily.

“Speak slowly, lack of oxygen is not good.”

“President Fei~” Xiao Fang looked at him, moved. It seemed his anger had subsided.

Fei Xiangnan glanced at Xiao Fang’s smug little face and added, “I was talking about what would happen if my son lacked oxygen.”

Oh, he should have guessed. Haha.

Xiao Fang, who had seemed so spirited just a moment ago, immediately wilted again, like a little teacup poodle that didn’t get a pat.

For some reason, Fei Xiangnan wanted to rub his head, but the thought was quickly dismissed as soon as it arose. He would not develop feelings for this kind of person.

“You should know the sensitive nature of the relationship between the three of you. After the child is born, I don’t care who you’re with. But while we’re together, I don’t want to hear any gossip. Even though not many people know, those who do must not be given any reason to talk,” Fei Xiangnan stressed the importance of the matter.

Only then did Xiao Fang remember what kind of family Fei Xiangnan lived in and what kind of people he associated with. This was completely different from Yan Yunyang.

Although Yan Yunyang had left home, his family’s support for him had never stopped. After all, he was the primary heir.

But Fei Xiangnan was different. He had lived in a family that devoured people whole. That’s why his possessiveness and desire for control were so strong. Because, in the truest sense, there weren’t many things that belonged to him.

For once, Xiao Fang didn’t have many objections in his heart. “Understood, President Fei. I’ll try to keep my distance from him in the future. This was just a coincidence. I only just found out that someone in the crew is related to him. During this period of cooperation, I will definitely not harm your interests, President Fei.”

“Is that what you really think? To be honest, I don’t believe you’ve stopped liking Yan Yunyang.” It wasn’t so easy for a person to let go of a relationship.

Xiao Fang showed a determined expression. “Of course. I only liked him in the first place because I couldn’t stand my brother. I have no feelings for him now.”

Xiao Fang said it so purely, without a trace of hesitation. This decisiveness suddenly made Fei Xiangnan feel a little displeased. He was more ruthless than he had imagined.

But showing too much would only make Xiao Fang think he cared. Fei Xiangnan chose to accept it calmly. “That’s for the best.”

That’s for the best.

Xiao Fang nodded obediently. But why did it feel like the pressure in the car had dropped even lower after they had settled things? Was it his imagination?

“President Fei, where are we going?”

“The hospital, for a check-up.” His child. He had to see it for himself to be assured.

***

“President Fei, your child is very healthy. You can already see the differentiated head, hands, and feet.” A cold, sticky substance was applied to Xiao Fang’s belly. When he turned his head, he saw the image of the little baby on the computer screen.

He hadn’t really felt the presence of this child before, but now, looking at it, he truly perceived that a small life was gestating. It was just that this life was probably not fated to be with him.

At this thought, Xiao Fang’s originally bright eyes gradually dimmed.

He had been an orphan, so he longed for a family. His ideal was to find an ordinary partner, love each other for a lifetime, have a child, and live a simple life as a family of three.

“Can you tell if it’s a boy or a girl?” Xiao Fang couldn’t help but ask.

“Not yet. You can come back for a check-up later.” Fei Xiangnan had come to a private hospital he had invested in, so the doctor naturally knew some things and answered very clearly.

Fei Xiangnan was silent throughout the examination. He never thought he would have his own child from such an accident. For him, who had never known what family was, this child brought him a different feeling.

“President Fei, may I be so bold as to ask what your standards are for a partner?” Xiao Fang suddenly asked as he sat up.

Fei Xiangnan glanced at him and said venomously, “Definitely not your type.”

Xiao Fang was on the verge of tears. President Fei, can’t you be less hurtful?

“Why do you ask?” Fei Xiangnan thought for a moment and added.

Xiao Fang turned his back to Fei Xiangnan to put on his shoes. “I just wanted to know what my child’s future stepmother will be like. No matter what, it’s still my child. I hope President Fei and the future Mrs. Fei can treat him well.” After saying that, a trace of loneliness flashed in Xiao Fang’s eyes.

Hearing this, Fei Xiangnan felt as if a thorn was stuck in his heart, incredibly uncomfortable. He naturally knew that Xiao Fang was going to leave, and the child would definitely belong to him. But his heart just started to feel extremely uncomfortable.

“He is my child. I will naturally treat him well.” Fei Xiangnan knew that as Fei Xiangnan, this was all he could say.

Xiao Fang curled his lips. He wanted to say something more but swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. What was he doing? Wasn’t he the one selling the child? What right did he have to play the victim?

“Then I’m relieved. I’ll be heading back to the hotel now, President Fei. Thank you for arranging the assistant. If you have any instructions, you can call me anytime~” Xiao Fang reverted to his usual sycophantic self.

Fei Xiangnan gave him a deep look and finally said nothing. This was a minefield for both of them; there was no point in hurting each other further.

“It’s fine, I’ll give you a ride.”

Xiao Fang smiled sycophantically, saying things like “Thank you for your trouble, President Fei,” and then trotted after him.
