Pampering wife without restraint

The banquet was drawing to a close and the guests began to say goodbye one after another.

After saying goodbye to the Fu family, Bai Chenxi and Fu Haoting drove back to the Imperial Garden Villa together.

Along the way, Fu Haoting looked solemn and said nothing.

After arriving at the villa, Fu Haoting walked straight into the house without even looking at Bai Chenxi.

Bai Chenxi opened her red lips slightly, with a hint of confusion and grievance in her voice: "Fu Haoting, are you really so stingy?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Haoting paused, turned around slowly, and a cold look froze between his brows.

He said in a deep voice: "I thought our relationship had gone beyond the boundaries of cooperative marriage and had a real emotional foundation, but I didn't expect that you would push me to another woman so easily. In your heart, who am I?"

Bai Chenxi was a little stunned by his words, and she hurriedly explained.

"I just want to give you some space. Besides, you are old classmates and you often helped her before. How can I get in between you two?"

Fu Haoting looked at her deeply, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice: "Xixi, do you... love me?"

Bai Chenxi was a little overwhelmed by his sudden question.

She stood there in a daze, her lips slightly parted, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Fu Haoting seemed to read something from her silence.

His expression became even gloomier, and he turned and walked into the study, shutting the door heavily, isolating the air between the two of them.

Bai Chenxi stood there, stunned for a moment.

She didn't understand why Fu Haoting was so angry. Did she really do something wrong?

But she didn't dwell on it too much. She shook her head, turned and walked towards the bedroom, washed up, and went to bed.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Bai Chenxi slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion and haziness in his eyes as if he had just woken up.

She turned her head habitually, but found that the seat next to her was empty. An inexplicable sense of loss quietly rose in her heart.

She thought Fu Haoting would go for a morning run as usual, so she went to the dining table on the first floor to prepare for dinner.

Aunt Zhang brought over a steaming hot breakfast, her eyes full of concern.

"Madam, did you and the young master have a quarrel? I saw that the young master looked a little gloomy this morning. He didn't even eat a bite of breakfast and hurried out."

Bai Chenxi lowered his eyelids slightly, and the corners of his mouth barely raised a curve.

There was a barely perceptible embarrassment in his voice: "Nothing, just a few words."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang smiled gently and said comfortingly, "It's inevitable that couples don't quarrel. But, I've been in the Fu family for more than 20 years, and I've never seen the young master look so gloomy. He is usually so calm and composed, and it's really rare to see him like this today."

As she spoke, she gently placed the breakfast on the table, gave a few more careful instructions, and then turned and left.

Bai Chenxi sat at the table, facing a table full of delicious breakfast but it tasted like chewing wax. He ate a few bites and drove out.

The midday sun shines through the clouds and falls on the bustling city.

Bai Chenxi came to the company. Today, she was going to check the progress of cutting the emerald raw stone and determine the location of the new store.

On the bustling streets of Beijing, those obvious good locations have long been taken up by other businesses.

And the remaining positions could not meet her expectations for long-term development.

After all, a superior geographical location is crucial to the development of business.

Bai Chenxi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of Shen Erlan.

As a native of Beijing, Shen Erlan knows the terrain here very well.

Then she called Shen Erlan.

Shen Erlan's clear and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Little fairy, you called me at noon. Do you want to ask me out for lunch?"

So, an hour later, the two met at Baiweizhai.

The environment here is elegant and peaceful, like a paradise on earth.

Beside the elegant seats on the water, lotus flowers are in full bloom and small fish are swimming, as if you are in an ink painting.

"This piece of land is truly a different world. It attracted quite a few customers just after it opened a few days ago."

Shen Erlan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Bai Chenxi took a sip of tea, her red lips slightly raised, and her eyes looked around, as if observing something.

At this time, waiters in cheongsams came over and brought exquisite dishes to the table.

The first dish served was morel stuffed quinoa. The morels were fresh and delicious, with a salty and crisp taste intertwined together, and the taste was richer when paired with quinoa.

Next was the Matsutake and lotus pod soup, with a light pink lotus standing in the middle and lotus pods surrounding it, just like a blooming lotus. The soup was fresh and delicious, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

Hawthorn avocado is especially popular among ladies. It is nutritious and healthy, and is both appetizing and helpful in maintaining body shape.

The tofu pudding is served in a small flower-shaped bowl, sprinkled with a few beautiful candies. It has a rich taste and the tofu is tender and melts in your mouth.

In addition, there are a variety of snacks, each of which is colorful, like a beautiful painting.

"Wow! The dishes here are really intoxicating. Every dish is so exquisite and the presentation is so creative that it makes people feel a full sense of ritual when eating."

Shen Erlan took out her mobile phone and captured these delicious dishes one by one.

"Well, the dishes here are truly amazing. Every dish retains the original taste of the food and tastes great. I wonder if the boss is here?"

Bai Chenxi said this with a sly gleam in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Erlan couldn't help but ask, "My aunt, from the look in your eyes, are you planning to buy this store again?"

Bai Chenxi blinked her sparkling eyes slightly, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Why, do you have any objections?"

Her eyes moved around the store. The exquisite decoration, elegant layout, and tempting dishes seemed to have turned into a glittering source of wealth in her eyes.

Shen Erlan shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course I have no objection, but I have a small request. When this store becomes popular in the future, don't forget to reserve an exclusive private room for me. I don't want to be unable to find a seat at that time."

The two smiled at each other, their feelings for each other being self-evident.

Afterwards, Bai Chenxi turned and walked towards the store owner, and after some negotiations, he successfully took over the store.

Shen Erlan was already accustomed to Bai Chenxi's extraordinary business acumen.

As long as Bai Chenxi takes a fancy to a project, no matter how unpopular or seemingly ordinary it is, it can create amazing commercial value in her hands.

Some people are destined to be born businessmen, and Bai Chenxi is one of them.

"Xiao Xi, have you decided on the location for your new store?" Shen Erlan asked with concern.

Bai Chenxi frowned slightly. "Hey, I'm worried about this. All the shops around here with good locations and high traffic have been snapped up. I can't find any vacancies at all. As for other places, I always feel that they are not suitable. Either the location is too remote or the environment is not ideal enough."

Shen Erlan raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you go find your Mr. Fu? In Beijing, the Fu family's businesses are spread all over the city, and high-end real estate accounts for one-third of them. Even your Fanya store is also owned by the Fu family."

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Bai Chenxi showed a look of surprise on his face when he heard it.

Shen Erlan couldn't help but roll her eyes, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "My little aunt, how come you don't even know this? If you go to Mr. Fu and ask him to give you a place in Fanya, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Shen Erlan asked curiously when she saw her hesitation.

Bai Chenxi sighed softly and told the story of last night.

"Do you think he should be angry with me just because Sun Wen invited him to dance?"

Shen Erlan stared at Bai Chenxi, her tone serious: "Xiao Xi, tell me honestly, do you want to be a scumbag?"

Bai Chenxi looked at her innocently: "How am I a scumbag?"

Shen Erlan shook her head and said helplessly, "Xiao Xi, think about it. In the fifteen years since you disappeared, Master Fu has remained chaste and has never had any scandals. After marrying you, he has taken good care of you and doted on you. Now you are pushing him to someone else like this. Isn't this a typical behavior of a scumbag?"

Bai Chenxi felt somewhat ashamed by what she said, and had mixed feelings.
