Evil Love Appears chapter 140

Extra Pregnancy 5

His gloomy mood reached its peak, but because he was in a work setting, he had to put on the usual calm attitude at the moment the elevator doors opened.

“Put the documents to be signed on my desk.”

“At 11 a.m., organize the operations team meeting to review last month’s revenue situation. No one should be late. Also, at 12 p.m., ask Wang Jinglin to come to my office. There are some things I need to ask him about the latest updates.”

He entered the office, rapidly checking his schedule on the phone, while instructing Wang Xiaoshan.

“Also, tell Xiao Dou to come down and buy me a cup of coffee—”

“President Fu!” Wang Xiaoshan protested as soon as he heard this, “You can’t drink coffee now. Xu Ge specifically told me.”

“…” Fu Xiaoyu took a deep breath.

Whatever. During this pregnancy, he really felt like the whole world was taking care of him, covering everything from clothing to diet.

As if he were an Omega father who knew nothing and was irresponsible.

But he had checked it himself. As long as he didn’t consume more than 300 milligrams of caffeine per day, there wouldn’t be a big problem.

He didn’t even have the freedom to have a cup of coffee; he just casually mentioned it, but now it had become a big deal.

“Go, buy.” Fu Xiaoyu said with a cold face, giving the final ultimatum.

“…” When Wang Xiaoshan nervously brought a small cup of Americano, Fu Xiaoyu was busy making a phone call, so he gestured for him to leave it there.

After being on the phone for almost half an hour, for some reason, even before noon, his spirits were already not very good.

At this moment, he really wanted to have a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

He frowned, lifted the cup lid, but before he could actually drink, there was suddenly a strong, nauseating feeling the moment he smelled that aroma.

Fu Xiaoyu didn’t have time to think; he rushed into the small bathroom in the president’s office and knelt in front of the toilet, dry heaving.

This nauseating feeling was so unfamiliar and intense. He felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and now, every part of him was uncomfortable. The tight feeling of his clothes came up, and he had to rudely unbutton the top two buttons of his collar and continue to retch.

He didn’t remember how long he had been retching, but in any case, after he vomited, he finally eased up a bit.

As he brushed his teeth, supporting himself on the sink, facing the mirror, he found that his face was pale—

He glanced at his phone thrown aside. He wanted to call Xu Jiale, but when he swiped the screen and pressed Xu Jiale’s WeChat name, he hesitated.

Miraculously, the Crayon Shin-chan avatar started jumping at this moment: “Baby, I’ll have someone bring you salmon for lunch.”

Damn it.

At the moment of seeing the salmon, while Fu Xiaoyu felt soft in his heart, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and vomit again.

This was the first time he had such a strong reaction to morning sickness since he got pregnant.

It turns out it’s really…

so uncomfortable.

He leaned against his forehead and thought, but the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt, and the more embarrassed he felt, the less he wanted to be more embarrassed.

Endure it, endure it, Fu Xiaoyu, you can endure it.

With this in mind, Fu Xiaoyu, biting his teeth, decisively closed the WeChat conversation with the Crayon Shin-chan avatar.

…

“At present, Q2’s new users have improved significantly, but the increase in daily activity has not kept up. This indicates that the optimization of retention is completely unsatisfactory, at least it has not achieved the expected target set in Q1. But so far, I haven’t heard a reasonable review analysis and solution from you. So, I am very—”

“I am very…”

Fu Xiaoyu repeated it, but then stopped again.

In the meeting room, there seemed to be a low-pressure atmosphere, and everyone could hear that Fu Xiaoyu’s next words were “I am very dissatisfied.”

At this moment, the brief but extremely long pause carried an especially terrifying breath.

Even though President Fu in the workplace was calm to the point of rarely getting angry, it also meant that each of his accusations lacked any personal, emotional factors and was like a sharp knife pointing directly at the inadequacies in work.

Inadequate work skills could seek improvement, but a bad attitude was a big taboo.

Everyone knew that Fu Xiaoyu did not accept any excuses and reasons.

The last time someone dared to be pale and defend themselves when he expressed dissatisfaction, they were directly fired on the spot.

When Fu Xiaoyu hired people; he would rather compensate for three months’ salary and dismiss them directly than keep an incompetent and evasive waste for one more second.

Therefore, although those present were leaders of various departments and teams, having experienced many ups and downs in the workplace, at this moment, they all involuntarily lowered their heads slightly.

Regardless of age or experience, there were still very few who dared to face the dissatisfaction of this Omega directly.

The intense low pressure lasted for a few seconds. Fu Xiaoyu still did not continue speaking. In the end, it was his old subordinate, Hu Xia, who bravely raised his head and said softly, “President Fu, the data this time is indeed overwhelming. The backend system had two major bugs, delaying us for two days. But we will definitely complete the retrospective report within this week.”

He glanced at Fu Xiaoyu sitting in front of him as he spoke and couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

The Omega covered his mouth with one hand, face pale, and his brows slightly furrowed.

“President Fu…” Hu Xia subconsciously spoke.

Fu Xiaoyu didn’t wait for him to finish; he suddenly stood up.

“Well, you must hand it over to me this week. That’s it for today; the meeting is adjourned.”

He almost hurriedly left this sentence and walked out of the conference room, leaving the subordinates looking at each other in confusion.

Fu Xiaoyu vomited again.

But this time, because there was nothing in his stomach, he could only retch in front of the toilet for a while before slowly standing up.

Wang Xiaoshan waited outside and, seeing him come out, carried a bag, following him with a concerned expression. “Boss, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to vomit?”

“Is this salmon?” Fu Xiaoyu didn’t answer him immediately. Instead, he looked at the bag in his hand. After seeing what was inside, he couldn’t help but raise his eyes and ask, “Is this… sent by Xu Jiale just now?”

“No, Xu Ge had someone from the Japanese restaurant deliver it,” Wang Xiaoshan said. “President Fu, if you’re feeling uncomfortable, should I call Xu Ge to pick you up and take you home?”

“No need, I’m much better now, nothing to worry about. You continue working as usual.”

Fu Xiaoyu refused without thinking.

Actually, the moment he asked that question, he felt a bit embarrassed. Xu Jiale had already sent a message, saying he would have someone deliver it, and he knew it. Xu Jiale was actually going to pick his parents from the airport at noon. Xu Lang and Murong Jingya had just returned from abroad and wanted to visit him, so Xu Jiale couldn’t temporarily break away to come over.

Fu Xiaoyu, carrying the bag, returned to the office alone. He felt a bit weak. Although his stomach was empty and uncomfortable, he hesitated to open the exquisitely packaged bag.

To be cared for by Xu Lang and Murong Jingya was a sign of concern, but deep down, he vaguely didn’t want to see them, just like he secretly hoped that Fu Jing wouldn’t always be around him.

Life is annoying. Work is annoying. The progress is slower than expected, and while dissatisfied, he also felt bored. He didn’t know if the sudden reaction in the meeting room had made his colleagues notice that something was wrong.

His original plan was to go to the United States with Xu Jiale after the end of Q2, but not everything can go according to his plans. Like the sudden onset of morning sickness, like uncompleted work, like the chaotic life at the moment.

His reflection was cast on the large French window beside him.

He wore a fitted smoke-gray shirt, sophisticated dress pants, and polished leather shoes. He looked as competent and upright as ever, perhaps a bit too tense. For those who didn’t know, it was almost impossible to tell that he was already three months pregnant.

Except for Wang Xiaoshan and Wen Ke, he hadn’t told anyone in the company about the news of his pregnancy. In his  heart…

The workplace was his world, his battlefield. He disliked revealing a vulnerable side on his battlefield, and hated any loss of control.

But pregnancy made him gradually lose control over many aspects of his life. Consequently, he was more easily provoked by the care and control of those around him than usual.

He was like an injured lion, lying on his own prairie, deflated and irritable, snarling at everything around him.

The WeChat on his phone vibrated. Fu Xiaoyu picked it up and saw the Crayon Shin-chan avatar with a little red dot popping up.

Husband (Fu Xiaoyu specifically noted: this is the nickname Xu Jiale brazenly changed on his phone): Baby, how about steamed salmon? I had them prepare yuzu vinegar salad to make it more appetizing.

Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but sniff at this moment.

Embarrassing.

But at that moment, seeing the silly “husband” nickname, he really wanted to see Xu Jiale.

Very much.

He typed a few words, but before sending, he felt a bit embarrassed and quickly deleted them.

Originally, he had no appetite, but in this mood, he still opened the package. Enduring the slight discomfort, he ate both the salmon and salad, then took a photo of the empty plate for Xu Jiale, adding a brief message: “All eaten, delicious.”

He rarely took pictures of food like this. This time, he expressed his apology to Xu Jiale for his morning outburst in a nonchalant manner.

While it felt okay during the meal, in the afternoon, the nauseating feeling returned.

This time, it was even more overwhelming and intense.

Fu Xiaoyu was in another meeting, but this time, he couldn’t even wait for a break to inform others. He rushed to the restroom to vomit again.

This time, it could be described as a stormy episode. Fu Xiaoyu squatted in the restroom for twenty minutes, vomiting until he had nothing left. He didn’t even have time to think about his colleagues’ reactions.

When he finally walked out with a pale face, he was almost out of breath. 

Fu Xiaoyu didn’t have the energy to resist or think about anything else at this point. He was feeling too uncomfortable. On the way home, he even had to open the car door and run to the roadside to vomit for a while, and after vomiting, Xu Jiale helped him back into the car, and they struggled back home.
