The yandere CEO’s Black Moonlight is reborn again

Chapter 265 Drunk
At the dinner table, Ye Qing'an was still drinking with Fu Linchuan. After drinking two cups, the old man couldn't take it anymore and switched to tea. Ye Tingyun sat on the side, listening and taking care of the old man and the guests, occasionally reminding them of something they couldn't remember when they were talking.

Ye Xi and Ye Liuxi had finished eating and left the table. The two sat on the guest sofa with their backs to them, pretending to watch TV.

"You really like him?" Ye Liuxi glanced behind her and asked in a low voice.

Ye Xi glanced at him: "What, is there a problem?"

Ye Liuxi shook her head: "I just didn't quite see it."

Ye Xi thought to herself: It's right that I didn't see it coming. It was just a lie she told. But even Ye Liuxi said so, so it seems her acting skills need improvement.

Just as she was thinking, Ye Liuxi continued, "But I can tell that he likes you."

Ye Xi: "?"

Ye Liuxi recalled Fu Linchuan's behavior as he came in: "It would be an understatement to say he likes you. His eyes are glued to you all the time, and when he looks at you, it's like he wants to devour you."

Ye Xi: “.”

Ye Xi: "Is it that scary?" How come she didn't see it?
She turned to look at the dining table, just as Fu Linchuan, who was drinking his wine, also looked up in her direction. His deep gaze felt like boiling water, and she immediately turned back in a panic.

"How about it?" Ye Liuxi leaned closer. "Am I right?"

After calming herself down, Ye Xi turned back for another look. This time, Fu Linchuan was talking to the old man, a humble smile on his face.

Illusion?
After all, Fu Linchuan is such a good actor, and they're about to get engaged. It's normal for someone like Fu Linchuan to have a possessive streak towards something that's about to belong to him.
However, Ye Liuxi's words were not entirely without merit.

Since Fu Linchuan proposed a marriage alliance, Ye Xi has examined the relationship more than once. For her, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, but for Fu Linchuan, she always felt that he hadn't gained much. It wasn't that he gained nothing, but rather that, given his circumstances, he could achieve the desired effect without the marriage alliance.

Let's assume that in his current partnership, the He family and the Ye family each provide 50% support. Is relying solely on the He family, who are on good terms with him, not secure enough? Then he can find several other families, with the Ye, Jin, and Gu families each contributing 20%, or even less. Judging from the attitudes of those families at the He family's wedding banquet, this is entirely feasible.

Ye Xi, using absolute rationality and from the perspective of extreme business interests, deduced many times, and could only come to one conclusion: Fu Linchuan had an unreasonable preference for the Ye family, and if explained by Ye Liuxi's words, it would be completely reasonable!

"But Fu Linchuan and I have only met a few times. Do you think this is right?"

Ye Liuxi, despite being a single woman, put on an air of profound experience in front of Ye Xi, relying on her experience in several idol dramas: "No, no, no, love can't be analyzed with common sense. Love is inherently irrational. Haven't you heard of love at first sight? Some people don't need to meet many times or have much interaction. As long as they are moved at a certain moment, their love will flow like a tide, unstoppable."

Ye Xi gave him a strange look, clearly not believing him, but since she had no other strategist, she was trying to accept it despite finding it odd.

If that's really the case.
That.
That would be wonderful!
Ye Xi knew from the very beginning that the Ye family and the Fu family were not equal in strength. If they relied solely on mutual benefits, what would happen if the Ye family could no longer bring them any profit once Fu Linchuan rapidly penetrated the E country market? Would the marriage alliance between Fu and Ye still be able to continue? Would the Ye family and she be used and then discarded?
But if Fu Linchuan truly loves her, it's a different story. People are easily irrational when driven by emotions, and given Fu Linchuan's personality, even if he doesn't love her anymore, he'll offer ample compensation instead of a cold, abrupt parting. Seize the opportunity!

Having made up her mind, Ye Xi began to keep a close eye on the situation at the dinner table. The old man stopped drinking; it was already his usual afternoon nap time. He yawned and, with the help of the butler, got off the table. Not long after, Ye Qing'an also checked his watch and left, leaving only Ye Tingyun and Fu Linchuan at the table.

Ye Tingyun was also starting to feel the strain, but with the elders not around, he had to maintain the family's image. Just as he was about to continue drinking with Fu Linchuan, Ye Xi ran over.

Like a spoiled child, she ran over, grabbed Fu Linchuan's arm, and tried to take him away. When Ye Tingyun tried to stop her, she complained unhappily, "Hey, brother~ you've been hogging him for so long, shouldn't you give him back to me?"

Fu Linchuan also got up half-heartedly, but his gaze remained on Ye Tingyun, politely waiting for her to speak.

Ye Tingyun pretended to stop him for a moment, then said "helplessly," "Never mind, you can go ahead. Just make sure you treat President Fu well and don't cause any trouble."

Ye Xi nodded quickly, then pulled Fu Linchuan upstairs and went straight to her bedroom.

After closing the door, Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought she would encounter some obstacles, but it went so smoothly. However, she had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. Ye Tingyun probably didn't want to sit down anymore. Her actions had just helped him out of a predicament, so it was no wonder he wouldn't stop her.

Thinking about how his grandfather, uncle, and brother had all taken turns drinking, and how Fu Linchuan had been urged to drink so much yet hadn't passed out, Ye Xi was also surprised by his drinking capacity.

"My brother is the best drinker in our family. I didn't expect you to be able to drink as much as him." Ye Xi said as she turned to look at Fu Linchuan, but then stopped abruptly.

Fu Linchuan sat on the edge of her bed, staring straight at her.

Ye Xi walked closer to him and saw that his face was also a little red, and his gaze towards her didn't seem very clear.

Perhaps this person was already drunk, but had good manners when drunk. He didn't make a fuss or cause trouble, and would even obediently drink when others asked him to, so no one noticed anything unusual.

After her initial helplessness, Ye Xi couldn't help but smile, and her first thought was to take a few photos. Fu Linchuan remained perfectly still while taking the pictures, like a professional model.

After taking the picture, she put her phone aside, walked up to Fu Linchuan, bent down, and carefully looked at his expression. Then she waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "Fu Linchuan, what number is this?"

There was no reaction the first time. After shaking her a few more times, Fu Linchuan grabbed her hand and pressed it down with both hands to stop her from moving. Then his eyes became even more dazed.

Ye Xi knew that the effects were building up and that Fu Linchuan would become increasingly irrational.

She moved closer and could clearly smell the alcohol on him: "What do you want to do now?"
