Chapter 284: Chapter 206: Investigation

"Have we met before?" Fu Tingzhou scrutinized the woman’s face, which felt both unfamiliar and oddly familiar...

Tang Xi nervously pinched her fingers, not daring to look up into Fu Tingzhou’s eyes.

It couldn’t be possible that he remembers me, right?

No way.

After forgetting for four years, how could he possibly remember now?

So she calmly said, "We met at the hospital once, you asked me for directions."

At this moment, the waiter came over, "Sir, madam, what would you like to order? Here is our menu; these are the classic dishes. If it’s your first time dining here, I would recommend these."

Tang Xi stared at the menu handed to her, waving her hands repeatedly in panic, "I, I am not his wife."

Perhaps her tone was hurried and surprised, also carrying a hint of... an unwillingness to escape.

Fu Tingzhou snorted coldly; he hadn’t disdained her yet, but she was already...

How many women wish to be his, Fu Tingzhou’s, wife? And here she is, an ordinary woman, putting on such an expression?

If it’s an act, then good, she has indeed grabbed his attention.

The waiter stood aside, slightly embarrassed, glanced at both of them, and the man casually said, "Then we’ll have these recommended dishes."

At this moment, Shen Duan approached, "Master, that matter has been handled."

Shen Duan glanced at Tang Xi, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Tang Xi stood up, "I really appreciate you saving me. I won’t disturb your meal here any longer, I’ll be leaving now."

As she said this, Tang Xi prepared to leave.

Fu Tingzhou frowned, "Did I say you could leave?"

He didn’t even need to lift a finger; no sooner had his words fallen than Shen Duan blocked Tang Xi’s path, his eyebrows and eyes carrying a trace of a smile, he lightly raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, "Miss, please take a seat."

Tang Xi cautiously glanced at Fu Tingzhou, then sat opposite him.

Second floor, by the window, Tang Xi looked out the window, her lips pursed, the air silent and heavy, even oppressive. Being so close to Fu Tingzhou made her whole body tense.

Fu Tingzhou seemed to realize the woman in front of him was scared of him, "What did Shangguan Bai offer you?"

"Ah?" Tang Xi was stunned, then realized the man was referring to the incident that night, she clenched her fingers, "I...I know no matter what I say you might not believe me, I actually don’t even know why... I don’t even know the Shangguan Bai you’re talking about, I’m not aware of any business competition between you wealthy folks. I’m just an ordinary doctor, I just work at the hospital every day, I never thought I’d get involved in your business interests."

"That night, I was with a friend at his company’s party, I had a drink, and when I woke up, I found myself in your..." Tang Xi’s voice became husky, her cheeks slightly flushed, "bed...bed..."

Fu Tingzhou calmly lifted his gaze, "Who is this friend?"

"His name is Lin Xuyang." She almost said he works for Shangguan Group... she didn’t say it, but she knew Fu Tingzhou’s capabilities, that he could easily find this out.

At this moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes.

A soup, a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a dessert.

Fu Tingzhou began eating with refined movements, Tang Xi sat opposite him, she dared not lift her head to meet those dark eyes; her heart fluttered with fear. Right now, she wished she could sprint away from here at the speed of an 800-meter race.

Heaven knows her heart was up in her throat.

Her speech trembled.

Four years, it had been four years since they’d seen each other, and these past few days they unexpectedly met, and even... ended up in his bed...

Tang Xi now wants to pack up overnight and leave Beidao with her daughter.

She no longer cares about her job or anything else.

As the man was picking up food with chopsticks, Tang Xi saw Fu Tingzhou roll up his sleeves to the forearm out of the corner of her eye. He just... started eating?

So, is she...

"Uh... that’s all I know... that night was a misunderstanding. I... I didn’t intend to have any contact with a person of your stature..."

"You say that, but how can I know what Shangguan Bai is planning? My deal with the Gao Family is already set in stone, what good does Shangguan Bai do by acting this way... besides causing trouble for himself? Tang Xi, how can I believe that what you are saying is true?"

Tang Xi took a sharp breath, "I... don’t worry... I’ve taken the medicine... I won’t cause any trouble for you, I was really just attending a friend’s party that night, and I don’t know anything about the rest."

Many women want to climb into his bed and carry his child.

Over the years, even famous ladies have calculated their ovulation periods and tried to scheme their way into his bed using despicable means, but all have been seen through by Fu Tingzhou.

The woman in front of him, from their first encounter, showed a frightened expression towards him. Now, her whole body is trembling, as if she views him as a flood beast, her eyes are clear but evasive, lacking the scheming of those other women when they approach him.

If this woman in front wasn’t sent by Shangguan Bai, Fu Tingzhou might really believe she was innocent.

Unfortunately...

The man narrowed his eyes, disliking this clumsy acting.

Shen Duan bent over, "I’ve found out, Lin Xuyang, the assistant to the CEO of Shangguan Group."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xi realized she really was tricked by Lin Xuyang.

She disliked having relationships with these rich people’s interests, especially... Fu Tingzhou.

At the moment, Tang Xi was full of regrets in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would have ignored Song Qin, even if it meant leaving Central Hospital, Tang Xi accepted it!

Fu Tingzhou served a bowl of pork rib soup, "What is your relationship with Lin Xuyang?"

"We... are just introduced by matchmaking, friends."

The man snorted coldly, "Oh? Then, the person downstairs arguing with you just now, what is your relationship with him?"

Tang Xi’s voice lowered, "That was... also my date..."

"Are you just indiscriminately desperate? Like any man?" Fu Tingzhou’s voice deepened, "You’d better have really taken the medicine, if I find out you’re pregnant, I will immediately find someone to take you for an abortion, don’t even think about using pregnancy to threaten me. I don’t care whether you have any interest relationship with Shangguan Bai or Lin Xuyang, if you dare scheme against me, I will make you all pay the price!"

Tang Xi took a deep breath, her fingernails deeply embedded into the palm of her hand.

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Fu, this was really an accident, I promise, I promise I have no dealings of any interest with Shangguan Group."

Tang Xi, "May I ask if I can leave now?"

The man slowly lifted his head, his dark deep pupils reflecting the pale face of the woman in front of him.

Her voice was trembling as she spoke, and now as she stood up, her slender back was also trembling softly.

Upon seeing the man’s slight nod, Tang Xi immediately rushed out, almost without looking back.

Fu Tingzhou slightly furrowed his eyebrows, Shen Duan was also interested in watching Tang Xi’s flustered departure. This woman seemed eager to leave quickly.

It was the first time he saw a woman who didn’t want to spend more time with Fu Tingzhou, interesting indeed.

"Check out this woman named Tang Xi and send me the information tomorrow."

Hearing Fu Tingzhou’s command, Shen Duan immediately straightened up and nodded, "Yes."
