Fu Shihan smiled and replied, "If you don’t agree, then I suppose the red envelope I gave today wasn’t enough. Don’t worry, I’ll call you later to confirm again."
After hearing this, Su Wanxin realized that he was determined to win her over with money today. She couldn’t help but be curious—if she kept refusing, would he really keep splurging indefinitely?
"President Fu isn’t afraid that I might be too greedy to ever be satisfied?"
"Don’t you know that my greatest strength, aside from my good looks, is that I’m rich?"
Su Wanxin couldn’t help but laugh lightly. Among all the people she knew, no one had a thicker skin than him. She thought for a moment and countered, "Then do you think I lack money? I’m also very rich."
"So you’re reminding me that bribing with money won’t work, and I should resort to... seduction?" Fu Shihan sighed, "I didn’t expect President Su to be this kind of person—I like it."
"You’re not being proper. I’m not talking to you anymore. Hanging up, bye!"
In the end, she still didn’t give him a clear answer, but Fu Shihan wasn’t in a hurry. After all, he would be visiting the day after tomorrow, and it would be better to ask in person.
As soon as Su Wanxin hung up the phone, she went to watch Yangyang and Su Bai play video games, while Fu Shihan left his room with a good mood, visibly different in both pressure and expression from when he had gone up.
Downstairs, Fu Yansheng was playing chess with Fu Hongru. Fu Shihan walked over to watch and clicked his tongue, saying, "Lost."
Fu Yansheng frowned, looked up at him, his face practically spelling out "angry," and asked, "Who lost?"
Fu Shihan shook his head with a look of regret, "True gentlemen never comment while watching a game of chess; I can’t say."
But looking at his reaction, it was clear he meant Fu Yansheng had lost. Annoyed, Fu Yansheng cursed, "Little bastard, get lost!"
If he wanted him to roll, he would roll; Fu Shihan turned and sauntered to the sofa leisurely and watched TV. Not long after, Fu Yansheng actually did lose a game.
New Year’s Eve, the reunion dinner.
Although Yangyang was absent this year, Fu Shihan seemed even happier than before, much to Fu Yansheng’s irritation.
Everyone chatted while eating, and since there was no work or social obligations the next day, the number of empty bottles on the table steadily increased.
Empire, Su Mansion.
Little Fu Yangyang was sitting on the sofa, immersed and focused on playing video games with his uncle.
Suddenly, the phone hanging around his neck rang, eliciting an instinctive shudder from him, and he looked down somewhat vacantly.
He had a small phone with him since coming from Hua Country that he never parted with. No matter where he went, the phone could always be seen swinging around his neck.
He fumbled to put down the game controller and took a look at his phone, then exclaimed "Ah!" and jumped off the sofa to find Su Wanxin.
"Hey? Where are you going?" Su Bai, puzzled by Yangyang’s frenzied behavior, questioned, "Did you wet your pants?"
"Don’t play without me, Uncle! Wait for me to come back!"
Yangyang ran off without looking back, and after searching around, finally found his mom in the yard sunbathing and chatting with Su Yao.
"Mommy! Hurry!" He ran up to her, pulling Su Wanxin’s hand, "Quick, come with me!"
Su Wanxin and Su Yaoyi had puzzled faces, not knowing what was going on with him to be so rushed. Su Wanxin stood up, picked him up, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"To my room!"
Su Wanxin nodded and complied. After carrying him back to the room, she asked, "What’s the matter? All secretive and mysterious."
