Evil Love Appears chapter 142
Extra Pregnancy 7
Regarding Fu Xiaoyu going to the United States, people around had various reactions.
The one who was most reluctant, of course, was Fu Jing.
Although this was originally a well-prepared arrangement, as the time approached, the emotions of Fu Jing, who was about to become a grandfather, became unstoppable.
“Can you get used to things abroad? How about where to stay? Is everything settled?”
Fu Jing sat on the sofa, sniffing.
“I studied in the United States before, so there shouldn’t be any problem,” Fu Xiaoyu replied subconsciously.
“Now that you’re pregnant, can you be the same as back then?” This overly straightforward question naturally didn’t make Fu Jing feel good, and he immediately stared with red eyes.
“Dad,” Fu Xiaoyu, being silly, could only be supported by Xu Jiale. While pouring tea for Fu Jing, he said, “I’ve arranged everything for the house over there according to Xiaoyu’s preferences. Regarding meals, I’m by his side, I can make anything for him. Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
“Then… Xiao Xu, you, you too. Don’t just focus on your studies. Pay more attention to him. It’s uncomfortable everywhere when pregnant; you’re an Alpha, don’t you know?”
Although Fu Jing kept nagging Xu Jiale, he couldn’t help but keep looking at Fu Xiaoyu.
It was strange, although he was not young, because his eyes still retained the beautiful contours of his youth, showing such a tearful expression in front of the younger generation still seemed pitiful.
Fu Xiaoyu really couldn’t bear it.
He lowered his head, silently handed over a tissue, and couldn’t help but knock Xu Jiale with his knee—
Hurry up and comfort my dad.
Although he was clumsy at such moments, he knew very well how to push such tricky matters to Xu Jiale.
“Dad, I know you can’t bear to part with him.”
Xu Jiale actually had to step in when Fu Xiaoyu was being awkward.
It couldn’t be helped, even the smoothest Alpha would feel uncomfortable when facing a teary-eyed father-in-law. However, he endured it, lowered his voice, and said, “Actually, the distance looks far, but it’s only a day by plane. So, whenever you and Auntie miss Xiaoyu, I’ll arrange tickets for you to come to the United States at any time. Moreover, the house there is big, and I’ve prepared guest rooms for you and Auntie. You can stay as long as you want when you come. How about that?”
Fu Jing just sat there without saying a word, but in the end, he just wanted his son. As long as he got the promise that he could go see Fu Xiaoyu at any time, his heart wouldn’t feel so empty.
Second on the list of reluctance was Han Jiangque.
It was somewhat ridiculous.
But yes, this tall Alpha, standing at 192 cm, expressed more worry and reluctance than the emotional Pisces, Wang Xiaoshan.
In the week before Fu Xiaoyu left, Han Jiangque frequently visited the company.
Because he wasn’t good with words, even when having lunch with Fu Xiaoyu, he spoke very limited words. Besides asking about Fu Xiaoyu’s health, he repeatedly mentioned, “I’ll go to the United States to see you in a while.”
On the other hand, Wen Ke, who was smiling slyly, told Fu Xiaoyu secretly, “Let me tell you, Han Jiangque is a bit neurotic now. But he didn’t accompany me through the late stages of pregnancy, so now that you’re pregnant, he’s extra worried. He always asks me if Xu Jiale has properly arranged your home.”
Fu Xiaoyu was moved when he heard this, but since he was just as bad at expressing emotions as Han Jiangque, when he was with Han Jiangque, he could only repeatedly say, “Come to the United States for a visit when you two have time,” through the glass window.
Contrary to the reactions of these close people, the employees at LITE had some joy about the news that President Fu was going to the United States—
President Fu might have to take a temporary break due to pregnancy!
It was hard to find anyone who didn’t have a bit of glee in their eyes when they heard this almost confirmed inside information. The excitement level of this news was not much lower than announcing an extra week of public holidays this month.
However, on the last working day before going to the United States, Fu Xiaoyu personally presided over the monthly all-staff meetings of the Operations and Marketing departments.
After arranging the daily work affairs, he reserved ten minutes for himself to shatter some of the fantasies of the employees.
“First of all, many of the businesses in my hands have actually been handed over, but many management affairs, I will still be responsible for temporarily.”
This was how he started his first sentence.
BOOM.
The employees couldn’t help but look at each other. It turned out that the pregnant President Fu didn’t plan to take a complete break.
“The main change is actually the way of working—”
Fu Xiaoyu paused and said calmly, “I will continue to work normally in the United States through online office. It won’t have much impact, all approval processes, all reports, all operational meetings will be conducted online. Similarly, I don’t want to see anyone’s efficiency affected by this.”
The meeting room fell silent.
Even Li Jingjing had to painfully mouth the words to Hu Xia, “Is President Fu really the one who’s pregnant?”
Alright, President Fu’s management would only start earlier due to the time difference, and he would definitely not be absent.
Until the end of the meeting, Fu Xiaoyu remained businesslike. When he finally showed a slight relaxation in his expression, he said seriously:
“Also, I want to thank everyone for your concern and gifts.”
He remembered the office desk filled with congratulatory cards and gifts that his subordinates had secretly placed there last week. He couldn’t help but show a faint smile. After a pause, he continued:
“I’ve read every card. Thanks again for your concern. I will take good care of myself. Also, tonight, I’ve booked the top-floor revolving buffet restaurant at Fairmont. If you finish your work early, you can bring your family and go there to eat. Okay, go back to your work, and see you next year.”
After saying this, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly relaxed.
“Thank you, President Fu!”
“President Fu, take care of your body!”
“Congratulations, President Fu and Dr. Xu!”
Fu Xiaoyu also smiled and nodded at everyone. After his colleagues gradually left, he stood up, quietly and slowly looked around the empty meeting room.
This was his last time presiding over a meeting here this year…
But then, he suddenly cast his gaze to the glass door of the meeting room.
There was someone outside the meeting room who seemed a bit strange.
Fu Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes—
Yes, who else could it be?
Since he started having morning sickness, the only person who frequently wandered around the outside of LITE’s meeting room in such a seemingly casual manner was one person.
But why did it seem so strange?
Instead of going out immediately, Fu Xiaoyu walked over and pressed his face against the cool glass, looking inside at Xu Jiale across the glass.
He really felt a bit melancholic, especially when he thought of the phrase “see you next year.” Damn it, it was incredible, but he felt a bit sad because of the reduced workload.
Fu Xiaoyu thought.
However, even when he thought so depressively, he suddenly couldn’t help but notice what was strange about Xu Jiale.
Xu Jiale wasn’t wearing glasses.
Due to nearsightedness, he had to squint his eyes and press his face against the glass to peer inside. The action looked a bit forceful, and Xu Jiale’s high and straight nose appeared slightly flattened against the glass.
It was really hard for anyone to not look ugly in such a moment.
But this oddly-behaved Xu Jiale even smiled at him through the glass, with a grin full of imperfections that somehow seemed more infectious than a handsome smile.
As Fu Xiaoyu looked at him, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter—
Alright.
He helplessly thought, reaching out to open the glass door and striding out.
“Darn it, in a hurry on the way, I bumped into someone, and my glasses fell on the ground and got crushed.”
Xu Jiale naturally reached for his hand, and they walked together towards the direction of the elevator. “Let’s go back and get my spare glasses, then get ready to head to the airport.”
“Mmm.” Fu Xiaoyu took one last look at the meeting room, where the lights had already automatically turned off, then tightened his grip on Xu Jiale’s hand. “Let’s go.”
And so it begins—
The next stage of life.
