Chapter 64: Gu Feifei's Grandfather
Zhou Fan stood at the door to Chen Yi's office, ignoring Gu Feifei, who was fuming furiously not far away. Taking a deep breath, he knocked but didn't wait for a response before pushing the door open and walking straight in.
Hearing the door open, Chen Yi looked up and saw that familiar smile. She subconsciously started to stand but stopped herself, asking coolly, "Is there something you need?"
Zhou Fan closed the door and sat down across from Chen Yi. 'Damn it,' he thought, 'women really are fickle. So what if she knows I have a wife? Is that any reason to be so cold?'
"Nothing much. I just heard Sister Chen was looking for me yesterday, so I came to see what was up."
"Does 'nothing much' give you an excuse to just not show up for work without a word?" Chen Yi frowned at Zhou Fan. 'Can't this guy say anything pleasant?'
"Oh, that? I cleared it with my wife. Want me to take you to her so you can ask?" Zhou Fan propped one leg up on the desk, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it, speaking with total smugness.
"Get out! I don't want to see you!" Chen Yi was so angry she nearly grabbed the water glass beside her and threw it in Zhou Fan's face. He was infuriating. Absolutely infuriating!
But what could she do?
The company belonged to his wife, after all!
And even if it didn't, would Chen Yi really have inflicted any substantial punishment on Zhou Fan over this?
"Ah, women. They forget all about you the moment you pull your pants up." Zhou Fan shook his head with a theatrical sigh. Acting as if he didn't notice Chen Yi's murderous glare, he smoothly stood up and walked behind her.
"There. Now you can't see me, right?" Zhou Fan said, being utterly obnoxious as he naturally placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Zhou Fan, you're shameless! You already have a wife, so why do you keep messing with me?" Chen Yi cursed angrily, standing up and pounding her fists against his chest, only for Zhou Fan to grab her by her slender waist.
"Sister Chen, let's be fair. You're the one who came on to me first."
"You... You're just shameless! You could have rejected me!"
"How could I? Does Sister Chen have so little confidence in herself?"
"I don't care! It's still your fault!"
The two of them flirted for a while. As Zhou Fan enjoyed Chen Yi's services, all the while thinking how troublesome women were, she once again became that obedient little thing.
"Zhou Fan, what if I don't want to let go? And I don't want to compete with President Chu for any kind of status. I just want to be by your side always. Would you be willing?"
Chen Yi tilted her head back, blinking her big eyes as she asked cautiously. All traces of her earlier anger were gone.
"Of course I'd be willing. That's one more mistress for me, and a beautiful one like you, Sister Chen, no less!" Zhou Fan was slightly stunned, not expecting her to say that. "But you'd be getting the short end of the stick, Sister Chen. How about this, before you find a new boyfriend, you can just be with me..."
"Hmph. I'm not planning on finding another boyfriend anyway. What if I run into another guy like Liu Chuang? As long as you don't mind, I'll be yours. All I ask is that when you're bored, you think of me and come find me."
Chen Yi said this pitifully, as if she'd suffered the greatest injustice in the world. Zhou Fan suspected that if he let her keep talking, she might actually start crying.
However, Zhou Fan raised his hand and, with a SMACK, swatted her on the butt, making Chen Yi flush with a mix of shame and anger.
"Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. I admit, you are getting a raw deal, but who can blame you when I'm this charming? It's fine, I'll just have to compensate you more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the stirring "music" started up again in the office's private lounge.
Just before noon, Zhou Fan looked at the sleeping Chen Yi and quietly left the office. The moment the door closed, he couldn't help but clutch his lower back.
'Damn it, what kind of decent man could withstand that kind of abuse?'
"Brother Fan, you were in Sister Chen's office for so long. Did something happen?" Suddenly, Gu Feifei popped out from somewhere, scaring Zhou Fan so badly he nearly kicked out.
"Ugh, don't even ask. It's a long, sad story." Zhou Fan calmed himself and shook his head with a sigh. "By the way, didn't you say you were treating me to a meal? Where are we eating?"
"Let's go! Manyun Hotel. High-class, right?" Gu Feifei was successfully distracted, and she pulled Zhou Fan along by the hand.
Arriving at the hotel, they were led by the staff to the door of a private room.
"Brother Fan, you have to save me in a bit. See? I did what you said and changed into a white one." Gu Feifei whispered, pleading with Zhou Fan. As if worried he didn't believe her, she even deliberately tugged her top down a little.
"Let's go. Seeing as you're so loyal, I'll take a knife for you if I have to!" Zhou Fan said magnanimously, giving Gu Feifei a resolute look.
"Grandpa, I missed you so much!"
The door opened, and Gu Feifei let out a happy cry, rushing toward an old man inside.
"You little rascal. You say all the right things, but if you missed me, why haven't you come home to see me after all this time?" the old man said, lovingly tapping Gu Feifei on the forehead, his eyes full of affection.
