Evil Love Appears chapter 61

Xu Jiale was stirring the sauce when he suddenly learned that Wang Xiaoshan would be coming to eat hotpot, and he paused for a moment.

“Yeah, I have a lot of urgent files to sign, so I asked him to bring them over for signing.”

Xu Jiale raised an eyebrow, “So, how did you explain to him?”

He was clearly asking how Fu Xiaoyu had explained the fact that he was living in his house.

“Well,” Fu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then could only honestly repeat what he had said at the time, “I told him to come by himself and not tell anyone.”

“Oh…” Xu Jiale’s face showed a hint of playfulness, and he deliberately elongated his tone.

Fu Xiaoyu was a bit embarrassed. His sudden invitation had some childish personal motives, so he couldn’t help but change the subject, “Xu Jiale, do we have enough ingredients?”

“Yes.”

“Then… let me help you take the dishes to the table.” Fu Xiaoyu said and quickly picked up two plates of greens, escaping from the kitchen.

When Wang Xiaoshan arrived at uLoft, Fu Xiaoyu opened the door for him.

“President Fu!” Wang Xiaoshan had a folder in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other, and he said with excitement, “I’m here, and I specially brought a bottle of wine for you and Xu-ge!”

His words were clearly too naive, and Fu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said, “Bringing the files is enough; there’s no need for wine.”

“You don’t need to change into slippers; just come in without them.” Fu Xiaoyu paused, took the wine, and then casually said, “You can hang your coat in the wardrobe.”

Wang Xiaoshan was very obedient. After following Fu Xiaoyu’s instructions to take off his shoes, he suddenly heard a “meow.” A large fluffy cat suddenly ran toward him from the living room.

“Ah!” Wang Xiaoshan took a few steps back involuntarily.

“It’s okay. Xia’an is well-behaved…” Fu Xiaoyu, unable to bend over, gently nudged Xia’an’s body with his foot, pushing the cat aside. He then raised his head calmly and said, “Don’t worry, Xia’an is very well-behaved.”

“Okay…” Wang Xiaoshan followed Fu Xiaoyu nervously and the cat followed closely behind him, even scratching at his pant leg with its claws.

While feeling tense and frightened, he couldn’t help but be curious and couldn’t resist igniting his gossip-loving soul.

How long have you and Xu-ge been together? Living at Xu-ge’s place… you’re just like the master of the house.

“Xiaoshan’s here.”

Xu Jiale was standing by, setting the table. On the table, there were Chinese lettuce, bamboo shoots, tong hao, and lettuce, all of them looking very colorful.

Xu Jiale quickly changed into a slim-fitting dark blue T-shirt. It wasn’t overly formal to entertain guests at home, but it showed off his figure quite well.

“Xiaoshan, you came at quite an hour,” he said. Wang Xiaoshan had interacted with Xu Jiale less than with Hu Xia and the others while working for Fu Xiaoyu. Therefore, he was somewhat reserved when he arrived.

Fu Xiaoyu is actually making you work overtime, isn’t he?” Xu Jiale said naturally. “Take a seat; the hotpot will be ready soon. Do you want the oil dip or sesame sauce?”

“Indeed. Xu-ge, I’ll have the oil dip,” Wang Xiaoshan couldn’t help but smile and looked at Fu Xiaoyu. “President Fu, should we start signing the documents now?”

Fu Xiaoyu was in the middle of stroking the cat, and upon hearing Wang Xiaoshan’s question, he replied calmly, “Later; let’s eat the hotpot first.”

After his reply, he gently placed Xia’an on the floor and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

“Oh…!” Wang Xiaoshan’s eyes suddenly widened for a moment.

Let’s not work and eat first?

Did President Fu really say that?

Xu Jiale had prepared a tomato and spicy yin-yang hotpot. The bright red chilies were floating on top of the spicy side, emitting a fragrance of butter. Once the pot was boiling, he served a bowl of freshly opened tomato soup to both omegas. The corn kernels had absorbed all the sweetness and sourness of the tomatoes, with a layer of chopped scallions sprinkled on top.

Wang Xiaoshan had worked the whole day and was indeed hungry. After taking a sip of the sour and sweet tomato soup, his whole stomach seemed to open up.

Once the hotpot started, the dinner table was practically silent for the first ten minutes because everyone was busy eating.

While Xu Jiale was eating himself, he also kept replenishing the dishes and helping them pick up the food. He opened the bottle of wine Wang Xiaoshan had brought, and quickly refilled their glasses when they were empty.

When the big crab was cooked, the most tempting part was, of course, the large pincers.

Xu Jiale used the crab claws to crack the hard shells of the two fully cooked large pincers so that all that was needed was a gentle twist to open them completely.

“Here, one for each of you.”

Xu Jiale handed one of the crab claws to Wang Xiaoshan, but he didn’t directly hand the other one to Fu Xiaoyu.

Instead, after cracking it open himself, he carefully picked out the small pieces of crab shell and placed the whole, fully edible crab claw directly onto Fu Xiaoyu’s plate.

Fu Xiaoyu didn’t decline and began to savor it bite by bite.

Look at these two.

Wang Xiaoshan, who had been alone without his boyfriend for a week, couldn’t help but think while biting into the crab claw and savoring the flavors.

He wanted to ask some questions about how they got together. Luckily, his curiosity was high, but he didn’t lose his sense of self-preservation.

So when he asked this question, he looked at Xu Jiale directly and asked without shifting his gaze.

“When did you start pursuing President Fu?”

“Me? Pursuing?” Xu Jiale was immediately caught off guard by this unexpected question, and his normally narrow eyes widened slightly.

“Yes.” Wang Xiaoshan said confidently.

Xu Jiale had thought that Fu Xiaoyu would probably do as he had done before and clarify the situation in front of Wang Xiaoshan. He was known as the sexual master of key red keywords on Fu Xiaoyu’s mental map, after all. It was his strategic high ground, as Fu Xiaoyu had personally confessed. However, he never expected that Fu Xiaoyu, who had always been honest, not only failed to clarify the situation but also did not stop Wang Xiaoshan.

Fu Xiaoyu’s gaze shifted back and forth between him and Wang Xiaoshan, and his eyes were round and bright, full of naiveté.

“Don’t pay attention to Wang Xiaoshan,” Fu Xiaoyu then grabbed Xu Jiale’s arm.

This was the first time he had physical contact with Xu Jiale in front of Wang Xiaoshan.

Having drunk a bit too much of the wine Wang Xiaoshan brought, his face was flushed, and he was munching on the crab claw while speaking somewhat incoherently.

Wang Xiaoshan immediately looked at Fu Xiaoyu alertly but then quickly realized that at this moment, President Fu wasn’t dangerous. So he continued his questioning of Xu Jiale without any worries, “That’s right. You can’t hide anything from me, Xu Jiale. Since that time when President Fu was going on a business trip and got a cold, I found you suspicious.”

“Damn,” Xu Jiale naturally denied, “You guys ambushed me at the swimming pool first, remember? I just saw Fu Xiaoyu had a cold and casually mentioned it to you.”

“Is that so?” Wang Xiaoshan snorted.

He knew that Xu Jiale might have thought his actions were concealed.

But, sorry, Wang Xiaoshan was like Sherlock Holmes when it came to finding clues, and he could see through these fumbling actions.

“Xu Jiale, a few days ago, who sent me two or three DingTalk messages in a single day asking if President Fu had eaten yet?”

“Also, when you prepared the crab claws in advance and had me deliver them to President Fu, who was that? Xu Jiale, don’t underestimate me; I’m the Sherlock Holmes of the world of love.”

“…”

Oops, he let his guard down.

Xu Jiale took a big gulp of wine.

“Xu Jiale, admit it!” Wang Xiaoshan’s confident expression could be described as having the words “I see through you, alpha” written on his face.

Actually, when Xu Jiale asked him previously, he had briefly mentioned not telling Fu Xiaoyu about their conversation. However, at the time, everyone was worried about Fu Xiaoyu, and Wang Xiaoshan didn’t think too much of it.

Now, seeing the two of them acting so affectionate, Wang Xiaoshan decided to reveal everything. Although he didn’t dare to provoke Fu Xiaoyu, he was willing to let Xu Jiale lose face, and at the same time, strengthen the bond between the two of them.

“Darn it, I didn’t expect this. It’s a blunder.”

Xu Jiale muttered to himself after eating the shrimp.

There’s no use in trying to cover it up; he was the alpha who had Fu Xiaoyu’s adoration on his mind. Once Wang Xiaoshan leaves, he’ll bring this little board hanging up.

…

After the sumptuous hotpot, Fu Xiaoyu was actually feeling a bit tipsy but still had work-related matters to attend to. The two of them sat in the living room, carefully going through the documents, while Xu Jiale was in the kitchen washing dishes.

After they had finished signing everything, Wang Xiaoshan couldn’t help himself any longer and said softly, “President Fu, Xu Jiale is really great.”

“Mmm.” Fu Xiaoyu placed his pen down and responded.

He appeared calm, but when Wang Xiaoshan praised Xu Jiale, he seemed to be praised as well. The radiant smile on his face couldn’t be hidden.

This kind of smugness may be commonplace, but he was 25 years old, and it was the first time he had this sense of pride about introducing his especially good alpha to his friend, even if only for a moment.

“President Fu, I’m… I’m happy for you, really!”

Wang Xiaoshan, who had consumed some alcohol, had teary eyes.

He remembered that time when he wanted to return to China early to celebrate the New Year with his alpha boyfriend, and Fu Xiaoyu had agreed even though he didn’t look too pleased.

Before leaving, he saw Fu Xiaoyu packing up in the hotel room by himself, and once again felt the faint trace of loneliness surrounding him.

After working for President Fu for so long, he had been through three or four breakups, but President Fu had always been the same, living on his own with only work in his life, serious, assertive, and disciplined.

Xu Jiale, on the other hand, was completely different.

Xu Jiale was always cheerful, taking care of his home, his cat, and now Fu Xiaoyu. No, he seemed to be taking care of Fu Xiaoyu as if he were a little cat.

Love is truly wonderful!

This omega, Wang Xiaoshan, was becoming more and more touched as he thought about it and was on the verge of rushing over to hug Fu Xiaoyu.

“Hey…”

But before he could go over, Fu Xiaoyu gave him a nudge and said with a stern expression, “What are you doing? Had too much to drink?”

“No, no, it’s just… I’m a little moved.”

Wang Xiaoshan retreated, feeling embarrassed.

He muttered to himself, thinking that the President Fu in front of him wasn’t a little cat; he was still the same tough boss.

Totally oblivious to his softer side.

“By the way, don’t tell the people from the Love app team.”

Fu Xiaoyu immediately whispered after realizing that he had been speaking rather loudly.

After all, Wen Ke and Han Jiangque were still in that kind of situation, and for now, he wanted to keep everything as it was.

“Sure.”

Wang Xiaoshan nodded quickly and then asked, “President Fu, what about your dad? Have you told him?”

“Not yet.” Fu Xiaoyu shook his head, feeling a little dizzy from the alcohol. He stood up and said, “It’s getting late; you should head back now.”
