After a while, Mrs. Chen returned with a white shirt, and the photographer had also arrived.
Wenxiu immediately called Cheng Zhili and Fu Laiying to change into their clothes, even pushing them into the same room.
Outside, Mrs. Chen looked puzzled. “Ma’am, what are you doing?”
Wenxiu smiled warmly. “Mrs. Chen, Zhili is going to be Laiying’s spouse from now on. You should treat him like one of us, understand?”
Mrs. Chen was taken aback, but quickly lowered her head respectfully. “Yes, ma’am.”
Inside the room.
Fu Laiying had his back to Cheng Zhili as he took off his shirt.
His skin was somewhere between fair and tan, his waist strong, and the muscles in his upper arms subtly flexed with his movements, clearly the result of regular exercise. Cheng Zhili remembered that Fu Laiying also had an impressive set of abs.
People always want what they lack.
Cheng Zhili glanced down at his own pale, unremarkable body and pursed his lips.
So what if he has a great body…
Cheng Zhili was annoyed. He always believed that if someone made him unhappy, he would return the favor. So he teased, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, why won’t my dear brother-in-law look at me? We’ve already seen everything there is to see, what’s there to be shy about?”
Fu Laiying turned his head at the words, glaring at him angrily.
Cheng Zhili felt a little more cheerful and approached with a grin. “Getting angry already?”
Fu Laiying’s eyes seemed to flash with thunder. “Cheng Zhili, don’t try to pull the tiger’s teeth!”
“I’ve kissed the tiger’s mouth before,” Cheng Zhili replied fearlessly, raising his hand to touch Fu Laiying.
Bang!
Fu Laiying suddenly grabbed his wrist, pinning him against the wall. “Even if you enter the Fu family, don’t think I’ll ever fall in love with you! You’ll never compare to Zhixia!”
Cheng Zhili’s breath hitched, and he narrowed his eyes, looking at him coldly.
He wasn’t interested in Fu Laiying’s love, but he hated being compared to Cheng Zhixia!
Cheng Zhili laughed maliciously. “Why pretend to be a saint? You weren’t thinking about Cheng Zhixia when you were with me back then!”
Fu Laiying’s face darkened instantly. He grabbed Cheng Zhili by the neck, his grip tightening. “Back then, you must have used something to make me lose control!”
Cheng Zhili found it hard to breathe, yet he continued to smile at him. “Wow, I’m so amazing, I can control your actions? If I tell you to kiss me now, would you?”
Fu Laiying sneered. “In your dreams!”
Cheng Zhili chuckled. He placed his index finger on Fu Laiying’s arm, slowly sliding it upward.
Fu Laiying’s skin prickled with goosebumps, and he immediately released his grip on Cheng Zhili’s neck, stepping back. “What are you doing!”
Cheng Zhili’s smile was as bright as a flower as he stepped forward. “I want to kiss you.”
“Get lost!” Fu Laiying retreated another step in disgust.
Cheng Zhili shamelessly continued to approach him. “If you don’t want me to kiss you, just push me away~ At most, I’ll fall and have a miscarriage. You don’t want the child anyway, right? Here’s your chance to make it happen!”
Fu Laiying’s face remained cold as he kept retreating, but he didn’t push him away.
Finally, with nowhere left to go, he was cornered by Cheng Zhili!
“Stop it!” Fu Laiying was both angry and embarrassed.
“Stop what? When did I ever start?” Cheng Zhili said, rising on his tiptoes to kiss Fu Laiying.
Fu Laiying immediately raised his hand to block his face.
He then felt a warmth in his palm, the soft touch of Cheng Zhili’s lips.
Fu Laiying looked up, seeing the other so close, with a faint, mocking smile on his lips.
His scalp tingled, and he almost pushed him away, but he held back.
Knowing Cheng Zhili’s nature, even a gentle push would likely have him pretending to fall. Then his mother would come, and he’d be blamed again!
With that thought, Fu Laiying grew even more frustrated. “What exactly do you want?!”
Cheng Zhili licked his palm, leaving it wet, and said leisurely, “I want to seduce you~”
“Get off!” Fu Laiying shouted in anger.
“If you’ve got the guts, push me away.” Cheng Zhili defiantly bypassed Fu Laiying’s hand to kiss his lips. Fu Laiying was caught off guard and kissed squarely! His pupils shrank, and he was about to push him away, but in the next moment, Cheng Zhili’s tongue slipped in.
Like a snake.
Fu Laiying didn’t experience any pleasure from the kiss, biting down hard with his teeth—
“Hiss!” Cheng Zhili let go of Fu Laiying, frowning.
Damn, it feels like my tongue’s been cut!
Fu Laiying took the opportunity to step away from the corner, glaring at Cheng Zhili as if facing a formidable enemy.
Just then, Wenxiu’s voice came from outside the door—
“Laiying, Zhili, are you ready yet?”
“Almost!” Fu Laiying immediately replied, keeping his distance and speaking in a low, restrained voice. “Cheng Zhili, don’t think you can act recklessly just because my parents support you! No matter what you do, I, Fu Laiying, will never fall for you! I may allow you to replace Zhixia in entering the Fu family, but don’t think you can use the Fu family for any nefarious purposes, and I won’t let you harm Zhixia!”
Cheng Zhili narrowed his eyes. “Do you really like Cheng Zhixia that much?”
“You know the answer.” Fu Laiying sneered, turning to put on the white shirt. “I’m going out first!” With that, he dashed out the door as if his pants were on fire.
Bang! The door slammed shut.
Cheng Zhili bit his lip, staring at the closed door, his heart filled with resentment.
Why?
Why does Cheng Zhixia get so much love?
He was unwilling!
Fu Laiying, is it? Fine, let’s see just how faithful you really are! He refused to believe that with his skills, he couldn’t win over Fu Laiying!
“Do you want me to enchant his mind?” Reinhardt suddenly asked from the side.
“No need.” Cheng Zhili’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “It’s more interesting to win over Cheng Zhixia’s man with real skill, isn’t it?”
Reinhardt raised an eyebrow, hesitating to speak.
Cheng Zhili didn’t notice, quietly putting on the white shirt and following him out.
Sure enough, a photographer was already waiting in the living room.
He and Fu Laiying let the photographer do his work, taking seven or eight group photos. Throughout, Fu Laiying’s face remained dark, and despite several glares from Wenxiu, he didn’t cooperate, while Cheng Zhili kept smiling.
In the end, Wenxiu chose the photo she was most satisfied with and instructed Fu Laiying and Cheng Zhili to take it to the civil affairs bureau to register their marriage.
The two of them arrived at the civil affairs bureau, where Cheng Wenbin was already waiting.
He had actually come personally to deliver the household registration book!
However, after registering, Cheng Zhili would be added to the Fu family’s household, which might also be a way to break away from the Cheng family?
Cheng Zhili looked at his father with indifference. The man wore a joyful, loving smile as he said, “Zhili, I can’t believe you’re getting married so soon! Once you’re in the Fu family, you can’t be a playboy anymore. Come back and help your father. I’ll let you start as a manager in the company.” As he spoke, he stepped forward, trying to pat Cheng Zhili on the shoulder.
Cheng Zhili stepped back to avoid his hand, his expression cold. “No need, since I’m a playboy, it’s better if I don’t get involved.”
Cheng Wenbin’s smile froze, his tone awkward yet slightly pleading. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have called you a playboy. I know you’ve always had grievances, but there’s no overnight grudge in a family. I’m willing to nurture you. Please forgive your father, okay?”
Cheng Zhili remained expressionless.
His words were more pleasant than a song, but unfortunately, he wouldn’t believe them.
He asked flatly, “Where’s the household registration book?”
“Here it is.” Cheng Wenbin took the book out of a folder.
Cheng Zhili took it directly, turning to Fu Laiying. “Let’s go register.” With that, he walked into the civil affairs bureau first.
Fu Laiying also disliked Cheng Wenbin’s sycophantic nature, so he followed him in, leaving Cheng Wenbin standing alone outside, like a pig swaying in the wind.
Cheng Wenbin’s face darkened instantly.
His eyes flickered, and he suddenly turned to leave.
If Cheng Zhili still refused to forgive him after some time, then he would have to consider pushing Cheng Zhixia to be with Fu Laiying.
The Fu family could switch marriage partners, so wouldn’t they reconsider and choose Cheng Zhixia again? Ha, Cheng Zhili was truly foolish. If he chose to accept the Cheng family, they would reciprocate by securing his position in the Fu family. But since he chose to refuse, he couldn’t blame his father for being ruthless!
On the other side.
Because they had made an appointment, Cheng Zhili and Fu Laiying quickly completed the paperwork and received their marriage certificate.
From that moment on, he and Fu Laiying were officially married.
As they walked out of the civil affairs bureau, Cheng Wenbin’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Fu Laiying said coldly, “Go home on your own. I’m heading to the office.”
Meaning he had no intention of taking him home.
Cheng Zhili squinted, smiling. “Then I’ll accompany you to the office. It’s practically our special place, isn’t it?”
Fu Laiying’s face darkened, and he suddenly felt the urge to relocate his company’s headquarters. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. “I won’t have time to look after you at the office.”
“I don’t need you to look after me.” Cheng Zhili smirked. “I’ll just take a tour of the company, check on the employees, isn’t that delightful?”
“Please don’t disturb my employees!” Fu Laiying’s gaze was sharp.
Cheng Zhili’s smile faltered. “Disturb? Oh, is the great General Manager so insecure? Afraid I’ll make you a cuckold?”
Fu Laiying sensed the danger in his eyes and frowned. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Is that so? Then I must have misunderstood. In that case, I definitely have to go to the office. If you agree, I’ll walk there myself. If I miscarry from exhaustion, it’s my own fault, not the General Manager’s concern.” Cheng Zhili’s smile returned.
Fu Laiying felt that Cheng Zhili was as unpredictable as a March sky, changing from sunny to rainy in an instant.
But somehow, he instinctively felt relieved.
Fu Laiying sighed in resignation. “Fine, I’ll take you to the office.”
Cheng Zhili’s lips curled.
That’s more like it.
So, he followed Fu Laiying to the Fu Corporation building.
He said he was going to inspect, and he really did. But since he arrived with Fu Laiying and many people saw him get out of Fu Laiying’s car, as he wandered around, many employees cast curious or scrutinizing glances his way.
“Congratulations on successfully joining the Fu family. What’s your next step in revenge?” Reinhardt floated beside him, asking.
