He pulled down on the tie around his neck, feeling thirsty in his throat. His gaze shifted elsewhere. At this moment, he couldn’t afford to be distracted by feminine allure. He still had many things to deal with.
After returning to the country, he had immediately immersed himself in his wife and child, causing the affairs of the company to remain unaddressed.
Fu Chengzhou went to get a glass of ice water to cool himself down. His focus was now intently on the documents in front of him.
However, he still found it hard to concentrate. He probably wanted to go down and hold Li Xingwan.
Li Xingwan noticed he had turned around and his eyes were back on the documents. She couldn’t help but observe him continuously.
To be honest, a man like Fu Chengzhou indeed possessed a deadly attraction to women in every aspect.
Noble, with strong self-control, and high concentration.
The key was that he protected his wife and child.
Since the start of the variety show until now, his gaze had almost always been on her and Little Mobao. It was as if they were always under his protection.
As she watched him, Li Xingwan found herself getting lost in thought. Just then, her phone on the shore rang, displaying an incoming number.
He must have seen yesterday’s news, which is why he was now calling her.
"Dad," Li Xingwan answered the call. But Li Hongbo had made a video call, so she angled her camera to show the seascape outside.
"Xingwan," Li Hongbo’s voice came through, "have you been causing any trouble recently?"
Li Hongbo knew about her and Fu Chengzhou, along with Little Mobao, appearing on the variety show, but he hadn’t called until today to ask about it.
After all, the original owner had always been clamoring to divorce Fu Chengzhou. She wouldn’t be playing the role of the pampered young madam anymore!
Li Xingwan would play it.
Besides, with someone as stunning as Fu Chengzhou by her side, Li Xingwan had always admitted that she was a bit infatuated.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" She leaned back, "How could I possibly be causing trouble! Besides, didn’t you watch the live stream?"
Li Hongbo snorted on the other end, "You’ve been so impressive lately, you don’t even seem like my daughter anymore."
"Then should we have a blood test?" Li Xingwan suggested, "Who knows, maybe you’re not actually my dad."
This remark nearly caused Li Hongbo to jump up in anger, "If I’m not your father, then who is?"
"That’s a question for my mom."
Li Hongbo was so infuriated that he nearly choked on his own blood. Just from her temperament, he knew she was his flesh and blood!!
"Alright, enough with the nonsense," Li Hongbo took a deep breath, "Has the person behind yesterday’s incident been found out yet?"
Li Xingwan knew for sure it was Chu Youxuan’s doing, but this was something her father couldn’t intervene in. Chu Youxuan would get her karma.
Moreover, they had already announced that the Fu Group would investigate.
"Not yet," Li Xingwan spoke, "Mr. Fu’s people will look into it."
"Then, how are things between you and President Fu?" Li Hongbo asked, seizing the opportunity.
Li Xingwan glanced in Fu Chengzhou’s direction and deliberately said, "Do I even need to say it? We’re certainly doing well. Didn’t you see where we are now? We’re enjoying the hot springs."
Li Hongbo’s eyelids twitched at that revelation, finally noticing something was amiss, as well as the fact that Li Xingwan’s phone had been pointed the entire time at the grand scenery outside through a floor-to-ceiling window.
He had always believed that everything in the live room was fake.
Now it seemed, his daughter was no ordinary admirer.
"Alright, alright, hanging up now," Li Hongbo said on the other end, ending the call.
Only then did Li Xingwan’s gaze return to Fu Chengzhou. But to her surprise, she saw him rising to his feet, his large hand tugging at his tie...
