After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Li Haokai looked up at Fu Cheng beside him and saw that Fu Cheng's gaze was not on him.

He hurriedly raised his hand and hung up the call that had only rung twice.

Little did he know that the moment he turned around and hung up the phone, Fu Cheng had indeed glanced at him unintentionally.

He saw the incoming call above, labeled as 'Important Client'.

Fu Cheng frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

However, Li Haokai, who had just hung up the phone, was the first to offer a guilty explanation.

"There are still harassing calls on the weekend. Those scammers are really dedicated."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng nodded in agreement, "There are indeed a lot of scammers these days."

Li Haokai chuckled as he put his phone in his pocket and said, "That's right, so we hang up on these harassing calls immediately and never give them a chance to scam us."

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject and started chatting with Fu Cheng, "Brother-in-law, many industries aren't doing too well lately. How's it going where you are?"

Fu Cheng answered his brother-in-law with one or two words each, being polite.

But the phone call he had just received kept replaying in his mind. In his opinion, 80% of the people whose contacts were marked as "important clients" were not actually clients.

Judging from Li Haokai's reaction just now, if he were truly an important client, he wouldn't have hung up so easily.

Crucially, after only a few sentences of conversation, the WeChat notification sound from Li Haokai's phone in his pocket confirmed his suspicions to be almost entirely true.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two fell out of tune due to a lack of common ground and several awkward silences, and each started looking at their phones.

Li Haokai even took the opportunity to go get a drink of water and sat in a spot that was previously a little further away from Fu Cheng.

After a simple lunch, Lu Shiyi and his wife left.

The young couple walked side by side on their way out of the younger sister's apartment complex.

Lu Shiyi turned to her husband and said playfully, "Thank you for today. Thanks to your status and generosity, we were able to put on a show."

Thinking about Li's mother's insincere flattery today, how she wanted to curse in her heart countless times but still had to smile on her face, Lu Shiyi felt extremely satisfied.

But she felt that one instance of this bluff was enough; otherwise, even with her husband's income, he might not be able to afford it.

Fu Cheng asked with a hint of amusement, "What is my identity?"

Lu Shiyi looked at her husband and said, "What other identity could it be? Of course, it's the identity of a leader of a big company. But the premise is that you have to be Yao Yao's brother-in-law. Otherwise, who you are has nothing to do with them, and it's no use for them to curry favor with you."

"I didn't expect you to go to such lengths today. To be honest, before I came to see Yao Yao, I was mentally prepared that if they did anything outrageous again, I wouldn't be afraid to stand up to them. Anyway, I can't let Yao Yao suffer any injustice there. I have to let them know the strong stance of my family."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng countered, "If we were to confront them head-on, are you sure you could out-argue them?"

Lu Shi opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

To be honest, when she gets angry, she can be quite good at cursing, but if the other person is someone like Li's mother, she's not entirely confident.

After all, the war of words between the two sides is not only about how good they are at hurling insults, but also about how thick-skinned they are.

Seeing that his wife didn't speak, Fu Cheng continued, "Yao Yao hasn't explicitly said she wants a divorce yet. You've also said that Li Haokai is her first love, so it will be very difficult for her to make the decision to divorce. If you completely break ties with them now, Yao Yao's situation in their family will only become more difficult in the future."

Lu Shiyi looked at her husband in surprise. She never expected that he, who was usually aloof and cold, would be so thoughtful.

As Yao Yao's closest older sister, she only cared about standing up for her younger sister and preventing her from being wronged, but she didn't consider this aspect at all.

She asked her husband, "So you specially bought these expensive supplements today because of this? It wasn't just to support Yao Yao?"

Fu Cheng replied, "The worst thing you can do is to directly argue with Yao Yao's in-laws. The key to winning in a contest between people is to understand their nature. Once you have a firm grasp on their character, you will naturally find a way to overcome them."

After listening, Lu Shiyi couldn't help but praise her husband, saying, "You truly deserve to be a leader. Your employees are probably all willing to be your slaves, even if you are a cold-faced leader."

He Ze, who is currently staying at home like a pumpkin: It feels like someone is messaging me?

After saying that, she joked, "You wouldn't also figure out my true nature and then use it against me, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng stopped and turned to look at his wife.

Then, he gave his wife a flick on the forehead and said, "Your little brain is quite clever, so don't mess with me easily in the future."

However, what he was thinking was, "He really didn't see through this little brain of his."

Lu Shiyi rubbed his forehead, which had been suddenly attacked, and muttered, "You're the one who provoked me first..."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her arm, determined to return the blow to her head.

As a result, before her hand even touched Fu Cheng's head, Fu Cheng grabbed her wrist.

Fu Cheng looked down at his wife, who had a surprised expression.

Lu Shiyi probably didn't expect that even with his Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) skills, he wouldn't be able to launch a successful sneak attack.

Fu Cheng's low, husky voice still carried a hint of magnetism, "You're not willing to suffer any loss, are you? Who was thanking me just now?"

Lu Shiyi pouted and retorted in a conciliatory manner, "I was just testing how fast your reaction was, how could I really hit you on the head? That would hurt so much!"

Perhaps her scalp is more sensitive? Fu Cheng felt that he had only tapped her lightly, but Lu Shiyi felt that it really hurt, which is why she fought back.

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng released his grip and lowered his head, saying, "Here, so you can return it."

Lu Shiyi glanced at her husband's almost perfect head, then turned her head and continued walking forward.

It's not that I'm reluctant to knock, it's just that I don't feel any sense of accomplishment from him voluntarily letting me knock, so I'd better just let it go.

Fu Cheng looked at his wife walking ahead and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, as if he had expected that she wouldn't return it.

He seemed to have gotten used to this way of getting along with his wife, and unconsciously he would always want to tease her.

The two walked towards the parking lot, one after the other. Fu Cheng watched his wife's figure and thought, "I'll keep Li Haokai's unusual behavior from my wife for now. After all, it was just a guess, and I didn't have any real information. Telling her in advance would only cause her more trouble."

After the couple got back into the car, Lu Shiyi told her husband to fasten his seatbelt before they set off.

On the way, she focused on driving, while Fu Cheng squinted and leaned back in his seat for a nap.

Suddenly, a cell phone ring broke the silence inside the car.

Lu Shiyi glanced at the caller ID on the car's screen; it was an unfamiliar number.

She frowned, but answered the call anyway.

Because it's connected to the car's Bluetooth, the call volume is equivalent to the speakerphone.

Lu Shiyi was the first to say "hello".

Then, a voice she least wanted to hear came from the other end of the phone…
