I put the phone to my ear. Before I could make a sound, I heard Fang Yin's voice on the other end of the line. His voice sounded serious, but there was a hint of playfulness in it. "Come have lunch with me at noon."
I was stunned. I immediately regretted taking the call and turned him down. "I have to go to school at noon. I don't have time."
He smiled faintly on the other end of the line. "Do you want to have lunch with me or do you want everyone to know what happened between us last night? You decide."
He hung up before I could say anything. I gritted my teeth as I listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone.
A few seconds later, Fang Yin sent the address to my WeChat.
Fang Yin was a famous person in City A. Scandals was easy for him. But if everyone knew, my marriage with Ling Feng would be over.
When I thought about it, I felt like someone was stabbing me in the heart with a knife. The pain was indescribable.
Do I have a choice?
No.
In the end, the only thing I could do was to put my work aside and go in his direction. As soon as I arrived at the company's lobby, a handsome employee took me to his office. I stood stiffly at the door for a while before pushing it open and entering.
Fang Yin was reading a document. He raised his eyebrows when he heard the door open.
He curled his lips into a smile and stood up. "Wash your hands and eat."
His casual tone made me want to punch him.
Sitting across from him as we ate, the atmosphere was stiff. I picked up a bowl of rice and took two bites. It tasted like wax.
Suddenly he asked, "I don't understand why you would refuse a bachelor. Isn't it a woman's dream to have a partner with whom she can spend all his money? "
I heard a hint of resentment in his voice.
"My husband treats me very well. He's willing to fan me in the summer and warm my hands in the winter. He cares for me even when I have a cold. He remembers all our anniversaries... Living with him makes me feel happy and lucky".
I smiled as I said these words. However, after what happened last night, my state of mind had changed.
Fang Yin was sitting in front of me. He looked at me like I was an idiot. He had a piece of dried tofu in his hand, but he didn't put it into his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. After a series of steady footsteps, I heard Ling Feng's voice.
"Mr Fang, I have some proposals for the project that arrived a few days ago. Take some time to look at them and give me an answer. If there is anything that needs to be changed, I will..."
Suddenly, Ling Feng's voice stopped.
My body stiffened and my palms and the backs of my hands became drenched in sweat. I felt like I was being executed by a thousand cuts.
Ling Feng's sudden appearance took me by surprise. My face went pale and I panicked.
I could feel the aura of the person behind me slowly cooling down. In front of me was Fang Yin's handsome face with a faint smile " I will give you an answer later, Take advantage of your lunch break to get some sleep."
