Although in Fu Yinxiu's view, it was business, this close proximity made it not surprising that He Ruoyi would develop feelings for him.
"That day, I found out Jiang Lulian was hospitalized, so I went to your company to confront you." Ming Yutong slowly recounted the encounter with He Ruoyi that day.
Ming Yutong pursed her lips, "She dared to call you 'Xiu', how could I not suspect? Being able to freely enter 'Xiuqi', and the company employees were very familiar with her, she even called you 'Xiu' without any scruples."
Ming Yutong got goosebumps just talking about it.
She didn't know how He Ruoyi could say such a thing.
Even seven years ago, when she was dating Fu Yinxiu, she didn't dare to call him that so intimately.
In Ming Yutong's impression, the Jia Wei members were always stern, cold, and serious.
So, she didn't suspect He Ruoyi at first.
He Ruoyi's behavior couldn't possibly make someone think she was part of Jia Wei.
Fu Yinxiu listened, his face becoming terrifyingly gloomy.
At the Moon Festival Party banquet last time, he only thought He Ruoyi was too talkative, so he transferred her away for three months as a punishment.
He didn't know that He Ruoyi actually had such thoughts about him and deliberately made Ming Yutong misunderstand their relationship behind his back.
Fu Yinxiu felt disgusted, wanting to throw up.
Thinking about bringing her along tonight for the banquet, Fu Yinxiu felt nauseated.
He wished he could immediately crush He Ruoyi to death.
How dare she!
Ming Yutong wouldn't be polite to He Ruoyi.
Thinking of He Ruoyi's attitude today, that arrogant and contemptuous look, as if she were the mistress of the place, Ming Yutong had no need to cover for her.
They had no relationship, why cover for her?
"She came here today to bring you the clothes for the evening banquet." Ming Yutong said.
Fu Yinxiu nodded, his tone unfriendly, "I had her come over. What else did she say?"
Ming Yutong sneered, "She thought I was using visiting Jingshi as an excuse to get close to you, and even warned me to know my place and not to cling to you. With that attitude, I thought she was the mistress here."
"There is only one mistress here, and that's you." Fu Yinxiu said through gritted teeth.
Ming Yutong: "..."
She wasn't discussing this with him.
This man, always knows how to take advantage of the situation.
Ming Yutong stood up, her voice cold, "Fu Yinxiu, I just want to say, manage your mess."
With that, Ming Yutong quickly left.
Fu Yinxiu did not follow her this time, making Ming Yutong feel a bit more at ease.
Only then did she allow herself to blush and feel hot, letting out a long breath.
So embarrassing!
She had mistaken He Ruoyi as Fu Yinxiu's girlfriend and threw a fit about it.
That really seemed like jealousy.
What a joke!
Ming Yutong walked into Little Jingshi's bedroom with her head down.
Little Jingshi was already lying in bed. Seeing Ming Yutong finally come in, he couldn't help but complain, "Tong Tong, why did you come so late? I've been waiting here for a long time."
Little Jingshi lay on his side, one hand supporting his head, and patted the spot next to him.
Ming Yutong felt that this little guy's behavior was somewhat improper.
She didn't know where he learned it from.
Ming Yutong smiled, "Wait a minute, I'll change into my pajamas and clean up a bit."
Little Jingshi sat up in a huff, "Tong Tong, why is your face so red?"
Ming Yutong touched her burning cheeks, "Is it? Maybe it's because the air conditioner is on and it's a bit warm.
It's not yet the heating season, but the nights have started to get cold, so the air conditioner was on in the room.
Especially with Little Jingshi being sick, the temperature in the bedroom was higher than usual.
"Really?" Little Jingshi's eyes rolled around. "You weren't here earlier, where did you go?"
Before Ming Yutong could answer, Little Jingshi laughed ambiguously, "Tong Tong, were you with Dad?"
"Of course not," Ming Yutong said, quickly grabbing her pajamas and heading to the bathroom.
She took a quick shower, and when she came out, she still had the milky scent of Little Jingshi's children's body wash, which smelled nice.
There were two quilts on the bed. Little Jingshi kicked one aside, "Tong Tong, can we share one quilt?"
"Sure," Ming Yutong naturally wouldn't refuse.
Sharing a quilt with Little Jingshi, she held him in her arms.
Although Little Jingshi had slept a lot during the day, he was still weak from his illness and, having taken cold medicine, he soon felt sleepy and quickly fell asleep.
***
Fu Yinxiu did not immediately chase after Ming Yutong but directly called Alpha Guard 1.
"Deal with Alpha Guard 5, and have someone else take her place," Fu Yinxiu said.
Alpha Guard 1 felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that He Ruoyi had not heeded the warning and had done something unforgivable.
"Yes," Alpha Guard 1 immediately replied.
***
He Ruoyi was in a room with another girl ranked last among the Alpha Guards.
Alpha Guards naturally had their own base dormitories, convenient for assembling immediately when there was an operation.
He Ruoyi was sleeping when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound was not chaotic but carried an unsettling solemnity.
He Ruoyi jolted awake, feeling a bad premonition.
"Who is it?" She walked to the door and asked cautiously.
"It's me, Alpha Guard 1," came the cold, emotionless voice from outside.
For some reason, He Ruoyi's palms began to sweat, and she dared not open the door.
"What's the matter at this hour?" He Ruoyi asked cautiously, pressing against the door.
Alpha Guard 1 remained unmoved, his voice still devoid of emotion, "The master has orders."
He Ruoyi knew that even if she thought it wouldn't be anything good, she couldn't not open the door.
She had no choice but to say, "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."
Alpha Guard 1 didn't say much outside, just made a hand gesture, instructing the Alpha Guards to surround the area to prevent He Ruoyi from escaping.
He Ruoyi couldn't stall for long. After changing her clothes, she finally opened the door.
"Alpha—" He Ruoyi's face changed when she saw the situation at the door.
Not only was Alpha Guard 1 there, but there were also five other Alpha Guards members.
"What's the master's order at this hour?" He Ruoyi couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, and she couldn't keep calm even on the surface.
Alpha Guard 1 didn't answer, just waved his hand. Two people behind him suddenly stepped forward, restraining He Ruoyi from both sides.
"Alpha Guard 1, what are you doing?" He Ruoyi asked in a panic.
"Take her away," Alpha Guard 1 said coldly.
He Ruoyi knew she couldn't escape but still instinctively struggled. However, she was no match for them.
A blow from Alpha Guard 1 knocked her out, and she was taken away.
When she woke up again, it was with someone forcibly pressing on her acupoints to wake her up.
She found herself in a small room, surrounded by gray cement walls, with a small light bulb hanging from the ceiling, casting a faint light.
