19 – Wanting to Steal Rabbit Ears
Unexpectedly patted on the head by her husband, Mu Mian’s eyes lit up with starry excitement.
Although he didn’t want to interrupt such a good atmosphere, Shi Hai checked the time and had to urge, “Sir, we need to attend the meeting.”
Fu Chenxiu acknowledged and headed toward the door.
Mu Mian immediately looked at him with pitiful eyes, “Husband, are you leaving?”
“I have a meeting to attend. Wait for me here.”
“How long will the meeting take, husband?”
“About two hours.”
Mu Mian showed a troubled expression, “Can Rabbit go back first? There’s no TV here… Rabbit will be so bored…”
Fu Chenxiu: “…” She’d rather go back and watch TV than wait for him?
He instructed Shi Hai, “Find something for her to pass the time.”
After saying this, he left the office first.
Seeing Fu Chenxiu emerge, the previously chattering employees instantly fell silent and scurried back to their workstations like startled chickens.
Shi Hai scratched his head in frustration, unsure what would be good for passing time.
He went to the secretarial office and asked the other employees, “What do you usually do to kill time?”
Thinking Assistant Shi had caught them slacking off, the employees defensively replied, “We’re very diligent during work hours! We never do things like browsing Douyin or reading Tomato Novels!”
Shi Hai: “…”
You’ve just revealed something.
Realizing that browsing Douyin was indeed a great way to pass time, Shi Hai took an iPad, downloaded the app for Mu Mian, opened it, and handed it to her.
“Madam, just swipe down like this, and you can keep watching videos.”
Shi Hai demonstrated once for Mu Mian.
The operation was so simple that even Mu Mian, who wasn’t familiar with modern electronics, understood it after one viewing.
“Madam, you can watch here. If you need anything, just ask someone outside. I’ll head to the meeting room now.”
After speaking to Mu Mian, who was already engrossed in the videos, Shi Hai left the office.
Time flew by, and over two hours passed.
Fu Corporation successfully reached a cooperation agreement with their partner.
“President Fu, may we have a pleasant collaboration.”
“Pleasant collaboration.”
After shaking hands with the business partner, Fu Chenxiu left the meeting room.
Returning to his office, Fu Chenxiu heard a catchy song playing.
“If you could start over, would you love me? Love brings happiness but also suffering~”
The rabbit was sitting on the sofa, completely absorbed in scrolling through videos. Her rabbit ears were even swaying to the music’s rhythm with rave hand gestures—no, rave ear gestures.
Fu Chenxiu: “…”
Fu Chenxiu walked over, took the iPad from Mu Mian’s hands, and turned it off.
“You’re not allowed to watch this kind of stuff anymore.”
He was afraid that if she kept scrolling, she’d eventually turn into an uncultured rabbit.
“Oh…” Rabbit responded dejectedly.
“Let’s go back.”
Hearing they could go home, Mu Mian nodded vigorously and followed Fu Chenxiu out of the office.
Seeing the CEO walk out with the girl, the employees couldn’t help but want to look, yet didn’t dare.
They were terrified that if President Fu caught them peeking, they might lose their jobs.
But human curiosity was simply too strong—the employees couldn’t resist sneaking glances at Mu Mian behind President Fu.Sensing their gazes, Mu Mian turned her head to look, stopped walking, gave them a sweet smile, and waved at them.
Fu Chenxiu had already entered the elevator and noticed she was still standing there. He slightly furrowed his brow: “Come in.”
Hearing her husband’s call, Mu Mian quickly followed.
After the two entered the elevator, the employees excitedly hugged each other.
“Ahhh!—Our boss’s wife is so! cute!—”
Once in the car on the way back, having spent the afternoon watching videos for so long and with the earlier running having drained some of her energy, Mu Mian let out a big yawn and fell asleep leaning against the seatback.
As she slept, her entire body gradually slid to the other side.
Suddenly feeling a weight on his shoulder, Fu Chenxiu glanced sideways and saw Mu Mian’s head resting there.
The girl seemed to be already asleep, and with her head on his shoulder, her rabbit ears were also close at hand.
Fu Chenxiu’s gaze unconsciously fell on the girl’s rabbit ears.
The short white fur faintly revealed pink flesh beneath, looking incredibly soft to the touch.
Fu Chenxiu couldn’t help but recall the sensation when he touched her head earlier and incidentally brushed against her rabbit ears.
They were indeed very soft and smooth…
“Hoo.” Fu Chenxiu gently blew a puff of air.
The fur on the rabbit ears stirred lightly from the breath, and as if feeling a slight itch, the tips of Mu Mian’s rabbit ears twitched.
As if something was tempting him, Fu Chenxiu slowly raised his hand, intending to touch her rabbit ears…
Shi Hai, who was driving in the front, suddenly felt his throat itch and let out a light cough.
Fu Chenxiu instantly snapped back to reality and withdrew his hand just before it reached the rabbit ears.
He must be under some spell—he actually couldn’t resist the urge to secretly touch her rabbit ears.
Fu Chenxiu pushed Mu Mian off his shoulder.
The girl slumped to the other side, continuing to sleep against the car window.
Fu Chenxiu: “…”
The car stopped at the villa entrance.
Fu Chenxiu was the first to open the door and get out.
The vibration from closing the door woke Mu Mian, and Shi Hai reminded her from the front seat, “Madam, we’re home.”
Looking out the window and realizing they had already returned, Mu Mian: “!!!”
She had originally planned to buy a cup of milk tea on the way back, but she fell asleep and ended up coming straight home!
Rabbit ran an errand today and didn’t even get to drink a cup of milk tea. Rabbit is very disappointed.
With her rabbit ears drooping dejectedly, she followed him out of the car.
Back inside the villa, they happened to run into Fu Yifei in the living room.
Noticing that his brother had just come in and his sister-in-law followed right after, he exclaimed in surprise, “Bro, you went out with sister-in-law today?”
Fu Chenxiu replied indifferently, “I had her help deliver something.”
Fu Yifei blinked.
Asking sister-in-law to deliver something? Bro really has some nerve!
Aren’t you afraid of losing both the rabbit and the item?
“By the way, sister-in-law, I bought two cups of milk tea on my way back.”
At the mention of milk tea, Mu Mian’s ears instantly perked up: “Milk tea!”
“Yeah, it’s the most famous bubble tea. I thought since you haven’t tried the most basic kind yet, I got this one.”
Fu Yifei took out a cup of bubble tea and handed it to Mu Mian.
Mu Mian excitedly accepted it.
However, as soon as she took it and saw the little black ball-like things at the bottom of the cup, she fell into deep thought.
Hmm…This thing looks so much like the poop pellets Rabbit leaves? (To all pearl lovers, Little Tea kneels and slides in apology first, (:з」∠))
Fu Yifei also picked up his cup, poked in the straw and started drinking.
Noticing Mu Mian holding her Milk Tea in a daze, he asked while chewing the pearls: “Sister-in-law, why aren’t you drinking?”
