She wasn't as lively as Xie Jingqian. When she saw Xie Jingqian holding onto Ji Zibai's arm and resting her head on his shoulder, she was envious …
Not to mention in public, even if they were at home, Lin Nuan probably wouldn't be able to talk to her lover in a bright and sweet voice like Xie Jingqian did.
Xie Jingqian waved her hand proudly and sat down. "This hand of mine has been held by my idol!"
Fu Huai 'an pulled out the chair for her, exuding a dignified and calm aura.
With the cheerful Xie Jingqian around, the atmosphere was good.
After they sat down, Xie Jingqian apologized, saying that she had an appointment with Ji Zibai's niece and son-in-law, as well as her third brother and third sister-in-law.
Looking at Xie Jingqian's big watery eyes, she shook her head and said it was okay.
"Sorry!" Ji Zibai said solemnly.
"It's okay." Fu Huai 'an didn't mind.
Fu Huai 'an, Xie Jingqiu, and Tang Xi weren't on bad terms. All these years, the Kaide Corporation and the Jiahe Corporation's business dealings weren't handled by Tang Xi and Fu Huai' an, so they didn't have any direct interactions.
However, by the time the waiter poured water for them, Tang Xi and You Jiaxin had arrived.
Ji Zibai sat steadily and stared unhappily at You Jiaxin, who was walking over with a protruding belly.
After getting pregnant, You Jiaxin had gained quite a bit of weight. She was no longer as skinny as before. Her beautiful features, which had been stretched out, were now round and chubby, making her look more like a child.
"Uncle is too much! He made me eat his shoe! How can he treat a pregnant woman like this? "
Tang Xi held onto You Jiaxin's arm and pulled out the chair for her to sit down. "Your husband can eat whatever you want! Don't be angry … "
Only then did Tang Xi raise his head, a faint smile appearing on his handsome and devilish features. He casually pulled out a chair and sat down next to You Jiaxin. His gaze swept over Lin Nuan, who was next to Fu Huai 'an. Tang Xi clearly recognized Lin Nuan as well. After all, Lin Nuan was already very famous now.
Seeing Tang Xi look over, Lin Nuan smiled and nodded politely at him.
Tang Xi's lips curled up in a meaningful smile. "Lawyer Fu, it's been a long time since we last met. When did you become so flirtatious? Even a chaste woman who had once risked her life for someone else could be invited to accompany him?! "
It wasn't that Lin Nuan couldn't tell how frivolous he sounded.
Tang Xi and Ji Zibai had been enemies for a long time, but now that Ji Zibai was his wife's uncle, he couldn't do anything to him. However, Tang Xi held grudges and liked to implicate others. Fu Huai 'an was Ji Zibai's only good friend, so he couldn't target Ji Zibai. However, he could be mean to Fu Huai' an.
Tang Xi's chair suddenly swayed. He held onto the table and lowered his head …
On the edge of the seat between her legs were Fu Huai 'an's clean leather shoes, full of warning.
Fu Huai 'an, who had his knees crossed, calmly stepped on the middle of Tang Xi's chair under the table. Under the simple yet elegant chandelier, Fu Huai' an narrowed his eyes. His strong features and intimidating aura exuded from his body had indeed surprised Tang Xi, who hadn't seen him for many years.
The Fu Huai 'an of today was different from the invincible lawyer of the past. His deep eyes were filled with the unfathomable shrewdness of a person in a superior position. Under those deep and wrinkled eyes, his pupils were as calm as water and indifferent, but when he stared at them, it made one feel as if they would be crushed to the point of being unable to retaliate.
Tang Xi could tell that the Fu Huai 'an of today had been reborn. He had experienced the trials and tribulations of time, as well as the killings in the business world. All of these had made Fu Huai' an a more mature and wise man!
If one wasn't born with a strong aura and intimidating aura like Xie Jingqiu's, they must have been tempered by experiences that ordinary people couldn't withstand.
"Shut your mouth!" Ji Zibai's long and narrow eyes were filled with coldness as he looked over.
"Tang Xi, is there poison in your mouth?" You Jiaxin was afraid that her uncle would be angry, so she glanced over. "Can't you just eat properly and shut your mouth? Do you have to make me angry? "
"Brother Tang Xi, this is Fu Huai 'an's wife, Lin Nuan. Be more respectful when you speak!" Xie Jingqian frowned as well.
All of a sudden, it was as if everyone's spears were pointed at Tang Xi, making him the target of public criticism.
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up!" Tang Xi was ultimately afraid of You Jiaxin.
Since when had Tang Xi ever given in? After he finished speaking, he saw that Fu Huai 'an's leather shoes were still on his chair. He looked up at Fu Huai' an.
Tang Xi understood what Fu Huai 'an meant. Fu Huai' an was waiting for him to apologize to Lin Nuan.
Actually, Tang Xi and Lin Nuan didn't have any grudges. He was merely picking on Fu Huai 'an because of Ji Zibai.
"President Fu, please show some mercy?" Tang Xi pretended to be confused.
Lin Nuan sensed the movement of Fu Huai 'an's feet under the table and reached out to hold his wrist.
Fu Huai 'an had already said that Ji Zibai was an especially important friend to him. Today was Ji Zibai's treat, and it was a happy occasion like their wedding. Lin Nuan didn't want to blow things up.
"I can't bear to see my woman suffer!" Fu Huai 'an leaned back in his chair and unbuttoned his suit. His tone was calm and domineering.
In terms of aura, Fu Huai 'an's heaviness and might made Tang Xi feel pressured.
A person had to have the capital to be domineering, and Fu Huai 'an clearly had the right to be so.
You Jiaxin's lips quivered. "Uncle Huai 'an …"
She wanted to plead for leniency, but You Jiaxin knew Tang Xi's character well. He would rather break than bend … He was arrogant and unruly, and he would never lower his head to anyone.
Tang Xi's scalp went numb when he heard You Jiaxin call him Uncle Huai 'an!
This "uncle" had lowered Tang Xi's seniority by a notch.
In his heart, other than You Jiaxin, it had nothing to do with him whether other women suffered or not. If he suffered, the other women had to endure it.
But today, when Fu Huai 'an told him that he couldn't bear to see his woman suffer, Tang Xi inexplicably … admired Fu Huai' an more than he wanted to admit.
When others said that Tang Xi doted on You Jiaxin too much, he said that a man who doted on a woman was a real man!
Tang Xi said this apology!
He looked at Lin Nuan and said, "Mrs. Fu, I'm sorry that what I said just now made you unhappy. I didn't mean to target you. I'm used to having a sharp tongue, and I'm especially unpopular. Everyone in Jincheng knows this …"
Only after Tang Xi apologized did Fu Huai 'an withdraw his foot.
Lin Nuan nodded and said seriously with a smile, "It's good that you know!"
Tang Xi's heart choked.
"Pfft …" Xie Jingqian couldn't help but spit out some of the water in her mouth.
Even You Jiaxin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
