Full Level Sweet Indulgence: The Big Shot Became Addicted to Me After the Announcement - Chapter 43

She seemed to see, across mountains and rivers, the man who had gone mad in their past life.

If only he loved her this much in this lifetime too.

Fu Chenyan held the girl’s head firmly, his expression serious. “Did you hear me, Li Xiaoli? Wherever you go, you have to take me with you.”

Li Muli stuck out her pink tongue playfully and saluted with her hand to her head. “Received, Mr. Fu.”

Only after hearing her promise did Fu Chenyan relent. He leaned in and gently kissed her delicate lips before taking her hand again.

Praising her, he sighed softly, “Good girl.”

Before his words faded, his phone rang.

Fu Chenyan frowned, while the girl crossed her arms and chuckled lightly. “Answer it.”

“Chenyan, the doctor said my wound has worsened. Can you come see me? I’m in so much pain…” The woman’s voice trembled slightly, as if she were truly suffering immense grievance.

The man remained silent. On the other end, her tone grew choked with sobs. “Chenyan, please, just this once, okay? Just today, please… I’m begging you.”

Gradually, her weeping intensified, her voice trembling more and more. “Chenyan.”

Fu Chenyan’s eyes instantly turned icy, his gaze sharp and cold. His words were enough to freeze someone to death. “Get a nurse. I’m not a doctor.”

He could see right through her petty schemes.

It was nothing more than using a past favor to manipulate him just to irritate Li Muli.

How dare she play such a cheap trick in front of him?

Then, without hesitation, he hung up. The sobbing on the other end continued.

Li Muli shook her head with a light laugh, her tone teasing, lazy, and sweet. “Brother, she’s crying so pitifully. Even I feel sorry for her.”

“Save your pity for when you cry next time.”

Fu Chenyan wrapped his arm around the girl’s slender waist, gently stroking her side.

She lifted her chin, her voice impossibly soft. “But why do you want me to cry, brother?”

Fu Chenyan directly tilted her chin up, leaning down to capture her sweetness forceful and domineering. His voice was deep and resonant. “Because you look beautiful when you cry.”

The girl looked up, the man leaned down, and sunlight bathed them a moment frozen in time, eternal.

This scene was captured forever.

Meanwhile, Tan Yueli, after having her call cut off, swept her hand violently, smashing the vase and water cup on the bedside table to the floor.

Her eyes dark and gloomy, she stared at the blood on her thigh and slowly began to laugh. As she laughed, tears streamed down her face.

What a ruthless man.

So ruthless.

She had thought that, with the so-called favor she’d done him, she could earn even a sliver of his sympathy.

She had thought that, with that sliver of sympathy, she could get under Li Muli’s skin.

She had thought he would remember the sweet memories from their childhood.

But what was he doing instead?

He was probably comforting Li Muli, kissing her, being affectionate with her.

But Li Muli, why do you get to have everything?

Why does he love you so much?

Why do you get to stand by and watch my suffering?

“What is it?” The man’s voice was casual as he took a drag from his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke.

“Wen Ciyi,”

“What, the ‘hurt and helpless’ act didn’t work?” The person on the other end let out a derisive laugh, his tone mocking.

“That’s all I know. Whether you act on it or not is up to you.”

“Heh, when a woman turns ruthless, it’s truly terrifying.”

Wen Ciyi wasn’t bothered by having his call ended. He continued to leisurely exhale smoke, lost in his own thoughts.

Clouds of smoke swirling around him.

To be honest, he didn’t particularly dislike Fu Chenyan, he just couldn’t stand anyone putting on a more refined act than him.

Look at all that talk about innate talent, business genius, and steady temperament.

And then there was him, Wen Ciyi, a madman.

Why couldn’t he be as satisfying to others?

At this moment, the dangerously charming man wore a roguish smile, his bewitching eyes subtly captivating.

“President Wen, President Fu went out with a woman today,” someone reported as they entered.

Wen Ciyi raised a slender eyebrow and exhaled a puff of smoke. “Are there photos?”

“Yes.” The man cautiously handed over the photo, discreetly observing Wen Ciyi’s expression.

Wen Ciyi took the photo with his long, elegant fingers and chuckled softly. “Am I that good-looking?”

“I wouldn’t dare, sir,” the man immediately knelt, his voice trembling.

“What’s there to fear? Don’t be afraid.” Wen Ciyi smiled, patted the man’s cheek, and helped him up, appearing harmless as a lamb.

Wen Ciyi wiped his fingers gently with a tissue. “You may leave.”

Cold sweat trickled down the man’s forehead, and his legs shook as he walked out.

It was well-known: the brighter Wen Ciyi smiled, the more ruthless his methods.

Watching the man’s pitiful state, Wen Ciyi shrugged lightly, flicked the photo, and examined it carefully.

The qipao outlined the girl’s figure exquisitely. She smiled gently, delicate and beautiful, held in a man’s embrace as he kissed her.

The tenderness in the man’s eyes was sickeningly sweet.

Wen Ciyi’s gaze gradually darkened.

A’Li, it’s you, isn’t it?

Meanwhile, back in the country.

The forgotten Gu Shi stormed over to confront the two, only to find Li Muli, call declined. Meng Ruo, call declined.

He called again declined.

He kept calling still declined.

On the fourth try, Meng Ruo finally answered. “What do you want?”

Gu Shi was taken aback. “You’ve got some nerve, you little ” Who gave you the right to act like this?

Before he could finish, the call was disconnected.

He called again, and the familiar automated voice responded:

“Hello, the number you have dialed is busy.”

“Hello, the number you have dialed is busy.”

Great. He’d been blocked.

Meng Ruo stared at her now-silent phone, momentarily dazed.

Her mother came in, noticed her daughter’s distraction, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “What’s wrong? Tell me about it.”

Meng Ruo hugged her mother back and mumbled, “I’m just upset. It took him this long to remember me after I’ve been gone for so long.”

Her mother smiled and gently stroked her head. “Then, Ruoruo, do you still think you like him?”

“I do,” Meng Ruo pouted, looking pitiful.

“Then go after him boldly. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll find you someone better, okay?”

“Mom, I’m a little scared.”

Her mother chuckled. “RuoRuo, look you and A’Shi have known each other for years. If neither of you speaks up, how will your relationship progress?”

“Besides, I’ve watched A’Shi grow up. He’s a good kid.”

Meng Ruo nuzzled against her mother, whining, “Mom, if he rejects me, I’ll never like him again.”

“Silly child, if he rejects you the first time, go tease him and chase him. If he rejects you a second time, cling to him and pester him. If he rejects you a third time, we’ll find someone better to make him jealous, alright?”

“Mom, you’re the best.”

Her mother gently stroked the girl’s soft hair, her smile tender and doting.

These two kids, surely they’ll find their way to a happy ending.

They bickered and teased each other when together, yet couldn’t help missing one another when apart. Clearly caring deeply, they pretended not to care.

Silly child, youth is always paved with many wrong turns.

I hope that Ashi will soon understand her own feelings too, and not realize them when it’s already too late.

Having made up her mind, Meng Ruo put on a proud tsundere expression as she removed the person from her blacklist, muttering under her breath, “Fine then, I’ll give you a chance to chase after me.”
