Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Overbearing

Fu Chenlie’s indifferent gaze fell upon her face as he countered her question without answering, "What did I say?"

Wen Ran twitched the corner of her mouth, quoting verbatim, "You said that even if I were to stand naked in front of you, you would only feel disgusted."

Upon hearing this, his eyes slightly stirred, and he raised his hand to press his temple, looking as if he didn’t remember saying such words, and further questioned her, "Did I really say that?"

"Yes, absolutely true."

"So, Mrs. Fu remembers every word I’ve said that clearly?"

Wen Ran, "..."

She pursed her lips, resisting the urge to roll her eyes, and calmly began, "No, it’s just that some particularly malicious words made a strong impression on me."

Fu Chenlie cleared his throat and earnestly said, "Have I said other cruel things to you?"

Wen Ran replied evenly, "Why don’t you think about it yourself?"

He quickly spoke up, "I remember now."

"Remember what?"

"I recall Mrs. Fu saying that even if all the men in the world died, she would not stand naked in front of me."

Wen Ran, "..."

What about the things that happened after?

Did he still remember?

He had choked her and threatened her; at that time, she thought she was going to die on the night they registered their marriage, which had frightened her considerably.

Remembering that time, Wen Ran couldn’t help but compare it to the present.

Since the registration, it’s been nearly a month, but Fu Chenlie’s attitude toward her had indeed taken a complete 180-degree turn. Looking back over their journey, it hadn’t been easy.

Wen Ran even felt lucky, fortunate to have survived so long unscathed under Fu Chenlie’s control.

As she reminisced about the past, Fu Chenlie also recalled his ungentlemanly act of choking someone, his face slightly embarrassed.

A few seconds later, observing her distant thoughts, he repeated their initial discussion, "So, Mrs. Fu, what exactly were you thinking about when you were staring at me just now?"

Wen Ran glanced at him, "Does what I think matter?"

He replied in a deep voice, "Since it was about me, there’s a ninety percent chance I know the answer."

Saying this, he let a slight smile play on his lips, continuing with gentle persuasion, "Tell me, and I’ll answer you. That would solve your trouble, wouldn’t it?"

Wen Ran bit her lip, "I wasn’t thinking anything serious, just wondering what surprise you were planning for Mr. Tan."

"Heh."

"What’s so funny?"

Fu Chenlie gave her a sidelong glance, "Are you worried I’ll do something inappropriate at the cooperation party between both sides?"

"No, just curious. Because it seems to me that you..."

Realizing what she was about to say, Wen Ran hastily stopped herself, pressing her lips tightly together, her eyes also avoiding the man’s gaze.

Fu Chenlie naturally saw through her hesitation and naturally placed his hand on her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, and looked down at her, "Because you feel what about me?"

Wen Ran blurted out, "Nothing."

She tried to step out of his embrace, but before she could move, her chin was lifted by his long fingers.

Forced to look up at his deep, ink-like eyes, Wen Ran felt his gaze at that moment was somewhat intimidating.

Fu Chenlie imperiously dropped a single word to her, "Speak."

Intimidated by his tone, she obediently spoke, "Because I feel you’ve always been concerned about Mr. Tan giving me his business card. And considering the acquaintance between you two isn’t close, I thought the surprise you mentioned for him might not be something good."
