President Fu Is Great at Pretending, and the Frail Young Master Has No Way to Deal With Him

After giving countless instructions, including closing the windows at night, drinking warm water when taking medicine, and avoiding cold water, there was really nothing left to say. Fu Yanhe turned around three times and reluctantly walked away; it was not difficult to see his reluctance from his heavy steps.

It would have been great if he could have stayed and taken care of his wife.

But his wife didn’t give him this chance.

Well.

After all, they were still too unfamiliar.

Looking at his inexplicably lost figure, Gu Wenning spoke out of nowhere.

“Wait a moment.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanhe immediately ran back, taking three steps at a time, and looked at Gu Wenning expectantly.

Had his wife changed his mind and wanted to keep him here?

It must be true. He was so good, and his wife must have noticed how good he was. After all, he was a very discerning person.

Fu Yanhe obviously didn’t speak, but Gu Wenning could read what he was thinking from his eager and happy expression and couldn’t help but feel a little speechless.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Fu, for today. It’s getting late. Mr. Fu, please go home safely.”

Gu Wenning’s tone was polite and distant, with just the right amount of formality in every word and deed.

Hearing this, Fu Yanhe’s expression, which he had expected to be joyful, dimmed a bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his tone was still light and cheerful when he spoke.

“My wife, you care about me so much, you are so kind and have a good heart. I know that you would not turn a blind eye to me.”

With that said, Fu Yanhe took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat page.

“To make it easier for me to report to you later, let’s add a WeChat account. If I had an accident on the road, someone could contact you through my phone. My family is not in the country at the moment. I am all alone here. The only one I could rely on is you.”

How to add his wife’s WeChat account calmly and logically at the right time? Fu Yanhe thought this was the most appropriate time. He had a legitimate reason to add it, and he resorted to a cruel trick to ensure he wouldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.

There was no other way except agreeing.

Sure enough, as soon as Fu Yanhe pretended to be pitiful and miserable, Gu Wenning couldn’t find anything to refuse him.

It would have been too unkind to refuse at the moment. Just in case, if something unexpected happened, someone needed to be contacted easily. If the relatives were too far away, it would be another trouble.

However, Gu Wenning couldn’t help but stab at Fu Yanhe.

“Don’t you still know Gu Mingxu?”

The implication was clear: stop talking nonsense. Even if he didn’t have his WeChat, there must be other people in his contacts, such as Gu Mingxu, who was also in Beijing. Gu Mingxu was more well-connected than he was. Wouldn’t it be better to reach out to him?

As soon as he heard the name Gu Mingxu, alarm bells rang in Fu Yanhe’s heart, vibrating crazily, reminding him not to be stupid at that moment. He needed to explain things clearly; otherwise, his wife might mistakenly think he was a playboy—someone who rode two boats. He was a vagabond, provoking one person and another, an unclean and dirty man.

Especially with his earlier behaviour, which was really easy for people to misunderstand. If he didn’t explain it clearly as soon as possible, he wouldn’t be able to clean it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

“Honey, I don’t want to hide it from you. I do know Gu Mingxu, and I had a little interest in him. I invited him to dinner and met him several times. It was also because of him that I cooperated with the Gu family.”

Gu Wenning had already heard this from his friends, but he didn’t feel much at the time.

However, now, hearing Fu Yanhe’s own admission, Gu Wenning felt a little pain in his heart. This feeling was not unfamiliar; it was familiar.

Ever since he returned to the Gu family when he was ten years old, he had tried hard to reintegrate into the family, but it didn’t seem to work. He could never integrate and was excluded.

Every time they had to choose between himself and Gu Mingxu, he was the one who wasn’t chosen.

For example, when there was a parent-teacher meeting at the same time, his father would go to Gu Mingxu’s place while he waited for his father’s secretary.

For example, when they went to the amusement park together, his older brother and second brother took Gu Mingxu, and he didn’t know what happened until they returned after having fun.

At first, he would complain, feeling it was unfair, and even make a fuss.

But later, as the instances became more frequent, he gradually stopped caring. He didn’t want to, but he also had to.

If he clearly knew that the result was not what he expected, why should he still have expectations? Without expectations, there would be no disappointment.

If the marriage between the two families was not meant for him, he would not have been the one standing in front of Fu Yanhe at that moment, but Gu Mingxu. Especially since Fu Yanhe still had a good impression of Gu Mingxu.

Thinking of this, Gu Wenning’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his whole body exuded a chill that kept strangers away.

Maybe Fu Yanhe was just acting with him, pretending to be submissive.

How could Fu Yanhe, who had passionately pursued Gu Mingxu some time ago, fall in love with him as soon as they met?

It was pretty much a prank.

Noticing Gu Wenning’s cold and indifferent expression, which was a bit colder than when they first met, Fu Yanhe’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt like crying without tears.

Damn it, Gu Mingxu, the damn protagonist, was really harmful to people, causing his wife to alienate him.

He didn’t want to be punished with a wifeless prison sentence.

“Honey, listen to my quibbles… No, listen to my explanation. Everything I did during that time was not from my heart. I got involved with Gu Mingxu because I was confused.”

Gu Wenning was slightly interested in this.

Not from his heart?

Interesting.

The dignified president of the Fu Group would actually express his affection for a person against his will. How could this sound like he was making it up?

“I don’t say this to others, only to you. I suspect that Gu Mingxu can cast poison. He must have put it on me, making me obey him. Wife, have you seen those TV series? They often appear in TV series. That kind of love poison, it was a something with a similar effect, and the person who’s been poisoned can’t refuse the request of the poison master.”

Fu Yanhe spoke seriously, as if he meant what he said.

But Gu Wenning didn’t believe it.

Bewitched? Poisoned?

He thought of it as filming a TV series.

The corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, and Gu Wenning asked lightly, “Then how did Mr. Fu get rid of the influence of the poison? According to Mr. Fu, if he was poisoned, he should have been completely devoted to the person who poisoned him.”

“Of course, it’s because of my wife.”

Fu Yanhe looked as if this was something he should take for granted.

Gu Wenning blinked slowly.

“Me?”

Why was it still related to him?

“Honey, do you believe in love?”

“Um?”

Gu Wenning became even more confused.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in love, but wife, you must believe in the power of true love. The power of true love is invincible. Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, and mountains and seas separate it, it is unstoppable. My heart that loves my wife is as solid as a rock. It won’t shake. The sky can tell, the sun and the moon can tell. It is because I truly love my wife that even if I accidentally fall into the villain’s conspiracy and become a puppet, I will definitely wake up.”

“In the end, it was you, my wife, who saved me.”

Fu Yanhe held Gu Wenning’s hand excitedly, and tears of emotion even filled his narrow and beautiful eyes.
