“What’s going on? Is the person you got me to hide for you our friend’s fiancée?”
After Ji Ziming and Mu Heng left, the office welcomed another guest.
With all four of them successively coming to the office, all of Fu Mingxuan’s employees were dumbfounded.
This was especially so since all of the four men’s expressions did not look right.
However, no matter how curious they were, they did not dare to gossip about their boss’s matter.
The man’s mood was already foul to begin with after being affected by the castigation of his two childhood friends, so when Liao Gaofei frowningly questioned him, too, his mood became worse.
“I want to be alone. Why won’t you guys let me be?”
Right now, he did not have the patience to face his other friend and just wanted to be by himself.
“If you don’t make it clear today, how am I supposed to feel at ease? Mu Heng came to find me earlier; he knows that you’re hiding Pei Ge.”
Seeing his tired look, Liao Gaofei frowned deeply, his eyes full of worry and conflicting emotions.
“Since he already knows that you’re hiding her, Ziming should, too. I don’t care what you’re thinking, but you should—”
Although it was difficult, he still voiced out what was on his mind.
“Stop being at odds with him as she’s his fiancée.”
Despite not telling Mu Heng anything, he still understood that what Fu Mingxuan had done was inappropriate.
After all, that woman was their close friend’s fiancée.
As the saying went, ‘one should not covet his brother’s wife’. Even though he was closer to this man before him, he still considered his actions to be inappropriate.
If he knew that the person his friend had requested him to hide was her, he would never agree to it.
“What? Are you on his side now, too?”
Fu Mingxuan’s face instantly turned ugly at that, and his words became harsher, too.
“So all of you think that she should be his woman and they are a fated pair?”
“I don’t mean it that way. I just think that… she’s Ziming’s fiancée at the end of the day. You’re too late to get to her.”
“Heh… Too late…” The other man laughed lightly; alas, it was teeming with bitterness. “Right. It’s indeed too late. If I hadn’t given up then, she wouldn’t have suffered so much…”
Seeing him trapped in his thoughts, he asked in perplexity, “What’s the matter? What happened? Why are you speaking like that?”
“…You should leave. Let me be alone for now. I don’t wish to talk about anything at the moment…”
Fu Mingxuan took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
There was no going back for him now.
However, for her sake, he was willing to become foes with Ji Ziming.
Liao Gaofei suddenly thought of the rumors about his friend and that woman online.
“Don’t tell me… that there’s really something going on between you two?”
He stared at his friend in disbelief, his eyes filling with shock.
After all, he knew where his friend was hiding her.
“You! Tell me: Why did you send her to the private hospital in the suburbs? If I remember correctly, there is a gynecology specialist there… Don’t tell me…”
He trailed off, his eyes widening as he stared at the other man in utter disbelief.
“That’s right; Ge Ge’s pregnant, and the child’s mine, so I sent her there.”
Although the matter was different from what his friends had supposed, Fu Mingxuan would rather they misunderstand.
If it were this case, it would give the impression that Pei Ge and him were in love with each other.
“What?!”
At his acknowledgment, Liao Gaofei was at a loss on what to say.
Although he had guessed it a bit, he still thought that that was improbable.
Who would have guessed, though, that the matter was truly…
“How could it be?! You’re lying to me, aren’t you? She’s our friend’s fiancée; how could she be… with you.”
“Why is it impossible?”
The other smiled coldly amid his stunned look.
“I am not worse than Ji Ziming in any way, am I? She likes me; what’s wrong with that?”
“I’m not saying that you’re not as good as him, b-but…”
For a moment, he did not know how he should respond to him.
“It’s fine. You should go and not meddle in this matter. It has nothing to do with you. You shouldn’t get involved…”
“Still… it’s improper for you to do this. You can’t do this. Even if she really likes you, you two shouldn’t betray Ziming…”
“Heh! Didn’t he betray her first?”
“It couldn’t be put that way…”
As the two men argued in the office, unbeknown to them, their entire conversation was being heard by Ji Ziming.
He listened to the two using a hidden audio recorder with a grim look.
This felt like the calm before the storm.
“…Pei Ge, you can only like me,” he muttered, seemingly assuring himself.
He refused to believe that she would betray him! He did not believe that she was pregnant with his friend’s child!
Roar!
With the roaring of the engine, the black sports car drove off like lightning.
He ran several red lights along the way. The car was driving so fast it was like a derailed tram.
Thankfully, his driving skills were not shabby and no accident happened along the road.
However, his driving speed had drawn the attention of a few traffic police enforcers.
Therefore, as he drove at the top speed, several police cars chased after him.
…
“This can’t work. You can’t keep hiding her; given Ziming’s temper…”
Back in Fu Mingxuan’s office, in the middle of speaking, an object by the sofa entered Liao Gaofei’s sight.
“What’s this? This… isn’t this an audio recorder?”
