Chapter 799: 0788 Don’t be generous

Su Ran didn’t speak.

Su Ran continued to be silent.

Based on her understanding of men, if she spoke now, her condition would progress from "frail" to "exhausted."

Fu Qiyuan simply smiled and moved the spoon closer to her lips by two inches.

Su Ran wasn’t being pretentious and took a sip with the spoon.

When the man scooped up another spoonful and brought it to her lips, she shook her head.

"I don’t want anymore."

"Take two more sips."

Su Ran continued to shake her head, "I don’t want to."

Fu Qiyuan’s patience was plentiful, his tone as if coaxing a child.

"Be good, just two sips, it’s good for the stomach!"

Su Ran looked at him reluctantly, "Really just two sips?"

"Mm."

"Alright then!"

Eventually, Su Ran relented and drank two more sips with the spoon he handed to her.

True to his word, Fu Qiyuan put the soup bowl on the coffee table after two sips.

Chu Xiyao clenched her teeth so hard, using all her strength, as if she didn’t feel any pain at all.

She looked at the man on the sofa with shock.

What did she see?

Qi Yuan was actually serving that woman? And he was so gentle and considerate, attentive to every detail.

This was a side of Fu Qiyuan she had never seen before.

How could this be possible?

As the head of the Fu family, a prodigy admired by all since childhood, how could he possibly let down his guard and stoop so low to accommodate a woman?

Yet, this scene was unfolding right before her eyes.

What made it even more unbearable for her was the fact that their interaction seemed normal to them, as if this was the usual state of their lives.

In her eyes, the cold and abstinent, noble and elegant man who seemed unattainable was actually doting on a woman in private?

If that was the case, why couldn’t that woman be her?

Why?!

All the negative emotions were consuming her body and soul, as if a slight touch would set her off.

Su Ran inadvertently glanced up and saw Chu Xiyao standing silently to the side, her face rigid and contorted.

Su Ran’s brows lifted slightly as she spoke softly,

"Is Miss Chu also here?"

Chu Xiyao struggled to curl her lips into a smile, forcing herself to stay tense, fearing that any relaxation would lead to an outburst.

"I... I came to bring you and Qi Yuan a change of clothes."

Su Ran’s gaze fell on the two bags on the other side of the sofa, somewhat surprised.

"Thank you for the trouble."

Chu Xiyao’s hand holding the handbag clenched tighter, her deliberately maintained smile on her face twitching almost imperceptibly.

"It’s just on the way."

Su Ran nodded politely, then asked courteously,

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

The entire rhythm was being led by Su Ran, causing Chu Xiyao to frown with displeasure.

"I have."

"Oh," Su Ran replied indifferently, and stopped speaking.

The living room quieted down for a moment.

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward!

The intent to see the guest out could not have been more obvious!

After a silence, Fu Qiyuan directly asked, "Do you have any other business?"

This was nothing short of a blatant dismissal!

Chu Xiyao’s face stiffened, and even though she tried to resist, her gaze still faltered on the man.

Su Ran saw that her gaze was fixed on Fu Qiyuan and frowned unhappily.

She turned her head and saw that Fu Qiyuan’s bathrobe collar was slightly open, and with furrowed brows, he covered the bathrobe neckline that she thought was a bit too low.

Watching the girl’s actions, Fu Qiyuan chuckled softly and took her hand in his, turning to look at the person beside them.

Instead, what Chu Xiyao was accustomed to seeing was his usual indifference and distance, with not a single ripple of emotion in his eyes.

Chu Xiyao clutched her handbag tightly, her knuckles white and bony.

"I... I have an appointment with Auntie to do styling, would sister-in-law like to join?"

Su Ran’s hand, still clutching Fu Qiyuan’s bathrobe, did not let go, but upon hearing Chu Xiyao’s words, she looked up.

Her sharp gaze captured the coldness and jealousy in Xiyao’s eyes.

Her lips lifted slightly, and without a change in expression, she watched her, "No need, thank you!"

Fu Qiyuan spoke lightly, "My mother is in the next room."

The implication was clear, you can leave now!

Again, an obvious act of sending someone away!

Chu Xiyao had no desire to stay any longer; her body trembled with repressed emotion, on the verge of losing control at any moment.

She stretched a forced smile across her face, "Then... I will go to the next room to find Auntie..."

Neither of them responded, and with trembling shoulders, she left the room somewhat laboriously.

It was only after stepping out of the room that her muddled thoughts slowly cleared up.

Thinking of Fu Qiyuan’s doting and indulgence toward Su Ran, her expression turned grim, and she nearly ground her teeth to pieces!

She had her own pride and confidence. As the young lady of the Chu family and the future head of the Chu family, be it her family background or her beauty and skills, she believed she was second to none.

And she certainly wouldn’t lose to Su Ran!

Yet gradually, she found that things were getting more and more out of her control, with all matters being manipulated by that woman.

Like the incident that happened yesterday in the Queen’s brand store, which was a no-win situation, yet that woman still managed to burn her bridges and come out on top.

Not only did she gain the trust of Auntie, but she also enhanced the reputation of Queen in the circle and even sparked a considerable trend online.

Fu Qiyuan’s attitude towards her also overturned her perception; that calm and wise man, the only one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, was actually so indulgent towards that woman in private.

How could she accept this?

Still dreaming of a double harvest in love and career?

She would definitely not let her succeed!

Chu Xiyao took a deep breath and finally convinced herself.

There was no need to show mercy to this kind of person; she had to restore them to their rightful places.

-

After closing the door, Su Ran’s hand, still holding onto Fu Qiyuan’s bathrobe, finally relaxed slightly, and in the next second, she was embraced tightly by the man.

"What are you doing?" Su Ran looked up at him, her tone very light, extremely light.

Fu Qiyuan curved his lips, "Jealous?"

Su Ran huffed, turning her head away, "Not at all."

Fu Qiyuan laughed softly again, his eyes brimming with laughter.

He poked the girl’s puffed-up cheeks with his fingers, his deep voice filled with evident pleasure.

"Becoming all puffed up with jealousy, yet you say you’re not?"

Su Ran glared at him, "Are you saying I’m petty?"

Looking at the girl’s annoyed little expression, Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow, "Hmm."

Su Ran nodded, not getting angry.

"Fine, then I’ll be more generous in the future. By the way, after attending the birthday banquet, I won’t be going back. I’m going to sleep with Mom tonight, and for the next few days, Zhichen is pregnant and it’s inconvenient, so I plan to take care of her for a while. There’s also the business of the two companies; I will be very busy..."

"I’m petty!!" Su Ran had not finished speaking when Fu Qiyuan abruptly cut her off, declaring emphatically.

A smile flickered in Su Ran’s eyes, then she resumed her stern expression.

"How could that be? President Fu is obviously very generous."

Fu Qiyuan’s chin rested on her shoulder, his voice muffled.

"I don’t want you to be generous."

Su Ran raised her eyebrows, "Not generous, so does that make me petty?"

"Yes, the pettier, the better!"

Su Ran: "So, you still think I’m petty?"

Fu Qiyuan: "..."
