Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Xia Chenyu’s Thoughts

Xia Chenyu saw Fang Bai sizing her up with admiration in his eyes. She couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she gave him a charming smile and said coquettishly, "What are you looking at? Haven’t seen me in a few days and Boss Fang no longer recognizes me?"

Fang Bai sighed, "What my mom said earlier was right, President Xia is getting more and more beautiful!"

Fang Yun couldn’t help but let out a "pfft" of laughter at their flirting and said, "Little brother, Chenyu sister, isn’t it a bit cheesy to play on words like this? By the way, Chenyu sister, why do you call my little brother ’Boss Fang’?"

"You ask him!"

Xia Chenyu pursed her lips towards Fang Bai.

"Little brother, you tell us!"

Fang Yun turned her head to look at Fang Bai.

Fang Bai chuckled, "Sister, it’s called having a sense of romance, understand?"

Fang Bai certainly wouldn’t tell them that he was one of the major shareholders of Beauty Company, who earned a ten-figure income each year without lifting a finger, to spare his family the cardiac stress.

"Oh... I get it now!"

Feigning an epiphany, Fang Yun laughed and said, "So that’s how you two are spicing things up, huh? But Chenyu sister really is the genuine President Xia. You, little brother, are far from it – you’re nothing like the image of ’Boss Fang’!"

"How am I not like a boss?"

Fang Bai looked down at his outfit, his face full of disagreement.

"From head to toe, you’re not!"

Fang Yun shook her head, critiquing from top to bottom, "Firstly, a boss’s hair would be combed neatly, not a single hair out of place; secondly, a boss should dress stylishly and have good taste; thirdly, a boss should wear a pricy international brand watch; and fourthly, when a boss goes out, he should have a personal driver and a luxury car... You don’t have any of that, who would believe you’re a boss!"

Pausing for a moment, she pointed at Fang Bai and laughed, "The way you’re dressed now, with casual wear matched with jeans and sneakers, you look just like a fresh university graduate! You don’t cut it as a big boss, but maybe you could pass for a small boss. If you wear a few gold chains around your neck, put a couple of name brand watches on each wrist, slick back your hair with some gel, throw on a suit and some dress shoes, and have two bodyguards following, then the image of a small boss will emerge."

Fang Bai laughed out loud, "What you’re describing is a nouveau riche, not a boss! Real wealthy bosses are very low-key! Like me..."

"Alright, alright, no more showing off! Let Chenyu come inside; don’t let her catch a cold!"

Yang Mei interrupted her son’s bragging, pulling Xia Chenyu’s hand and leading her into the yard.

Xia Chenyu looked back at Fang Bai, who was shrugging with a wry smile, and chuckled secretly, thinking that Fang Bai truly was a low-profile boss, a pity his own family didn’t know. Should she spill the beans?

After a second thought, Xia Chenyu decided against it. If Fang Bai wanted to tell, he would have informed his family by now; why wait till now? She decided to keep silent.

Since it was New Year’s Eve, there were still many chores to be done, so after sitting in the living room and chatting for a while, they got back to their tasks.

Xia Chenyu took off her coat and entered the kitchen to help Fang Gang and his wife make dumplings. Fang Yun stopped what she was doing and came to sit beside Xia Chenyu to help as well.

Fang Yun and Xia Chenyu were both beauties and only a year or two apart in age, so they had a lot in common. They whispered to each other while making dumplings, and bursts of giggles would occasionally slip out.

Yang Mei had originally thought that as the president of a big company, Xia Chenyu would be too delicate to have ever set foot in a kitchen. But to her surprise, Xia Chenyu was extremely adept at rolling out dough and making dumplings. It was clear she had done this many times before.

A woman who could grace a hall, work in a kitchen, looked beautiful, knew how to win hearts, and also owned a big company... Where could you find such a daughter-in-law?

Yang Mei looked at Xia Chenyu, and the more she looked, the more she liked her, lavishing her with unabashed praise.

Outside, Fang Bai, who was cleaning and posting Spring Festival couplets with Ghost Hand, heard the tone in his mother’s voice and realized she completely regarded Xia Chenyu as her daughter-in-law, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Xia Chenyu stayed at the Fang Family’s for meals at both noon and evening, then joined the Fang family members to watch the Spring Festival Gala, staying up until midnight.

Yang Mei originally wanted Xia Chenyu to stay and sleep with Fang Yun, planning for her to leave after the first day of the New Year, but Xia Chenyu politely refused, saying there were still some matters to attend to at the company.

Seeing that Xia Chenyu was insistent on leaving, Yang Mei had no choice but to ask Fang Bai to take her home.

"On such a festive occasion, why must you go back? Don’t you find it boring to be alone in the company?"

On the way to take Xia Chenyu home, Fang Bai softly asked.

He was riding in Xia Chenyu’s sports car, planning to walk back after dropping her off at her place.

Xia Chenyu didn’t have much family in Zhongzhou City, and usually took the company as her home. Previously, her secretary Zhao Xiaomeng had kept her company living at the company, but Zhao Xiaomeng went back to reunite with her family these last few days, and the other employees were also on leave. Besides a few security guards, the company was left with only Xia Chenyu.

Ever since gaining the Martial Arts Techniques taught by Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu’s strength had improved rapidly. Her cultivation level had reached the high rank of Yellow Level, and because the cultivation technique she practiced allowed her to challenge those beyond her rank, she wouldn’t be harmed by any martial artist below the high rank of Profound Level.

Xia Chenyu also gained a lot of confidence in her own strength, so much so that she simply dismissed the few female bodyguards she had.

If it weren’t for Xia Chenyu’s capabilities to defend herself and the Jade Pendant that held a few threads of murderous intention, which he had given her for protection, Fang Bai would not be at ease with her staying alone at the company.

"Mmm, I really have something to do!"

Xia Chenyu smiled and said, "Otherwise I would definitely stay at your house. At your home, uncle, auntie, Xiao Yun... and you, you all treat me very well, and I feel very warm and touched. To tell you the truth, I really don’t want to go!"

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Fang Bai saw a forced smile on Xia Chenyu’s face and a very low mood, as if she was carrying a heavy heart, and he asked with a frown.

"I..."

Xia Chenyu hesitated.

"I don’t mind being your listener... as long as you’re willing to share what’s on your mind!"

Fang Bai said earnestly.

Xia Chenyu’s gaze drifted to the distant night sky, and she fell silent for a long moment, without her realizing, tears had begun to fall from her eyes.

"Today... is the anniversary of my mother’s death... "

Just when Fang Bai thought Xia Chenyu would not share her troubles with him, she slowly opened her mouth.

Fang Bai was startled, then he recalled Xia Chenyu’s background.

If it were not for Shen Dongyang, the current head of Anxi’s number one family, the Shen Family, who had heartlessly betrayed her in the past, Xia Chenyu would have been the treasured daughter of the Shen Family; her name would have been Shen Chenyu, and she would be enjoying the warmth and happiness of family underneath the care of her parents.
