Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

the next day.

Su Manli deliberately chose to come to Fu's company during Fu Jingming's lunch break.

Her slender figure was accentuated by a light pink dress, and her face was adorned with delicate makeup.

She carried a beautifully packaged insulated box in her hand, her eyes and brows displaying just the right amount of gentleness.

The receptionist recognized her as an "acquaintance" of Fu Jingming and let her pass without much interference.

She walked gracefully toward Fu Jingming's office in her high heels.

As I passed the break room, I overheard the staff whispering: "Mr. Fu's fiancée, Miss Liu, has a truly outstanding presence..."

A hint of coldness flashed across Su Manli's eyes, but her face still held a gentle smile, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Upon arriving at the office door, Assistant Xiao Zhang greeted him with a smile.

"Ms. Su, Mr. Fu is currently in a video conference. Please have a seat in the meeting area."

Su Manli nodded gently, her smile bright: "Thank you for your help, Xiao Zhang."

She gently placed the insulated box on the coffee table and then took out a small mirror to look at herself.

Seemingly dissatisfied with a certain part of her makeup, she turned and went to the bathroom to touch it up.

When she returned, Xiao Zhang went up to her and said, "Miss Su, you can come in now."

Su Manli gave a soft "hmm" through her nose, with a hint of barely perceptible arrogance, and walked gracefully toward the dark wooden door.

Watching her swaying figure from behind, Xiao Zhang secretly curled his lip, thinking to himself: What's with the airs? You'll get what's coming to you later.

When Su Manli pushed open the door and entered, Fu Jingming was looking down and organizing documents.

Hearing the sound, he looked up, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly: "What brings you here?"

She instantly adopted a gentle demeanor, quickly walked to the desk, and gently pushed the insulated box towards him.

"Jingming, I've noticed you've been staying up late working overtime lately, so I specially made you some cordyceps chicken soup to nourish your body. I made it myself, would you like to try some?"

As she spoke, she reached out to open the box, her fingertips seemingly brushing against the back of his hand, a deliberate display of intimacy.

Fu Jingming calmly withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent: "Thank you for your trouble. Leave it for now, I'll drink it later."

Su Manli's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned.

She sat down in the chair opposite him, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at him with a wistful look in her eyes.

"Jingming, are you still angry with me? I didn't mean to talk about Yunshu that day, I was just... too afraid of losing you."

Her voice gradually lowered, her eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"We grew up together, and you said you'd always protect me. Have you forgotten those words?"

Fu Jingming rubbed his temples, his tone softening slightly: "I'm not angry with you, I'm just a bit tired lately because I've been busy."

Seeing this, Su Manli immediately pressed her advantage, pouting coquettishly, "Then you have to drink the soup before I believe you~"

Fu Jingming was exasperated by her persistence and had no choice but to lift up the insulated box.

The rich and mellow aroma of chicken soup immediately filled the air.

He picked up the soup spoon and took a bite; the taste was indeed delicious.

Seeing that he was willing to drink, Su Manli's eyebrows curved into crescents, and her tone became even more tender:

"Is it delicious? I stewed it all afternoon, afraid that the heat wasn't right, so I even consulted the master chef in my family."

Fu Jingming gave a low "hmm" and said nothing more.

With her gentle words accompanying him, he unknowingly drank more than half a bowl of wine.

Seeing that the soup was almost gone, a hint of smugness flashed across Su Manli's eyes.

Then she put on a pitiful expression, moved closer to him, and whispered seductively:

"Amin, do you even have me in your heart? If you regret it, I... I can wait for you forever."

Before he could answer, she suddenly leaned in and nestled into his arms, her slender arms encircling his neck, her warm breath deliberately brushing against his ear.

"Ah Ming, I know you have feelings for me, otherwise you wouldn't have softened your heart towards me that day. How can Liu Yunshu compare to me? We should be a couple!"

Fu Jingming froze, instinctively wanting to push her away, but suddenly felt a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen, and his eyes suddenly became bloodshot.

He pulled her into his arms uncontrollably, his breathing suddenly becoming heavy.

Su Manli's heart skipped a beat at his sudden force, then she was overjoyed. He really still cared about her.

She pressed herself closer, clinging to him more passionately, her fingertips tracing suggestive paths across his back, her voice cloyingly sweet:

"Amin, I knew you had feelings for me... Let's not miss each other again, okay?"

Fu Jingming let out a low groan, his consciousness seemingly shrouded in a thick fog.

Only the instinctive heat drove him to approach that warmth.

He gripped Su Manli's waist with such force that he almost crushed her, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Su Manli trembled slightly at his forceful kiss, but immediately became immersed in it and responded to it.

The smugness in his heart was almost overflowing; now, Liu Yunshu was completely out of the running.

Just as the two were locked in a trance, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Fu Yanshen stood at the door, followed by several department heads, his face as gloomy as if it had been tempered with ice.

His gaze swept over the two embracing figures with undisguised chill.

"Mr. Fu, it seems we've arrived at the wrong time?"

His tone was calm, yet every word was like a knife, instantly piercing the ambiguous and sticky atmosphere in the office.

Fu Jingming suddenly came to his senses, as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water, and most of the heat in his body instantly subsided.

His last shred of reason made him hastily push Su Manli away and awkwardly straighten his disheveled shirt collar.

Her face flushed and paled in turns, and her breathing became rapid: "Uncle...why are you here?"

Su Manli was also shocked and turned pale. She quickly broke free from his embrace and hurriedly gathered her stray hairs.

Her eyes were filled with panic and embarrassment, and her previous charming and smug demeanor had vanished completely.

She never expected that Fu Yanshen would suddenly barge in with his men, especially at this time.

Fu Yanshen walked slowly into the office, his cold gaze sweeping over the half-eaten chicken soup bowl on the table.

His gaze fell upon Fu Jingming's flustered face, a mocking smile curving his lips:

"Have you forgotten the scheduled project progress meeting? Or is it that President Fu is too busy 'flirting' to attend to company affairs?"

The managers behind him exchanged glances and lowered their heads.

She dared not look at the awkward scene before her for long, yet she couldn't help but mutter complaints to herself.

Fu Jingming's appearance was completely unlike that of a composed vice president.

Fu Jingming was so ashamed he wanted to disappear; his fingertips trembled slightly. He forced himself to remain calm and said:

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I... I forgot the time. Let's start the meeting now."

"You, you all... Fu Jingming! How could you do such a thing!"

A trembling, pained voice came from the doorway.

Liu Yunshu's eyes were red-rimmed, her face was as pale as paper, and she covered her mouth tightly with one hand.

As if unable to withstand the impact before him, he staggered back half a step, his eyes filled with disbelief and heartbreak.

This sudden turn of events completely threw Fu Jingming into a panic.

He suddenly looked at Liu Yunshu, his lips trembling as he tried to explain, "Yunshu, it's not what you think, I..."

"It's not what I thought?"

Liu Yunshu interrupted him, her voice choked with sobs, and tears finally streamed down her face.

"I saw it with my own eyes, what misunderstanding could there be? Fu Jingming, we are engaged, how could you... how could you do this with Miss Su..."

"What happened? Why are you all gathered outside Jingming's office?"

The deep, resonant voice of Old Master Fu could be heard from not far away.

Everyone turned around at the sound and saw Old Master Fu walking slowly towards them, leaning on his cane and supported by his eldest son, Fu Yanping.

Following closely behind, Madam Fu frowned as she looked into the doorway, a sense of unease rising within her.

Old Master Fu's gaze swept over Fu Jingming and Su Manli, who were disheveled in the office, and then landed on Liu Yunshu, who was in tears.

His face instantly darkened, and he slammed his cane heavily on the ground with a dull thud: "What kind of behavior is this!"

Seeing that Old Master Fu was angry, Fu Jingming was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he hurriedly tried to explain:

"Grandpa, please let me explain, it's not what you think! I... I don't know what happened just now, I suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded..."

Su Manli was so frightened that she trembled all over and her face turned as white as paper.

She bit her lip tightly, afraid to speak, lest she say the wrong thing and completely anger Old Master Fu.

She never expected that things would escalate to the point where they would reach Old Master Fu's doorstep.

Now, not only did she fail to win over Fu Jingming, she's also likely to completely disgrace the Su family.

Seeing this, Madam Fu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Dad, don't be angry. It might be a misunderstanding. Jingming is always so steady, how could he do something like this..."

"Dad, since this has happened, the marriage between Jingming and Miss Liu is probably not a good idea. Perhaps..."

Fu Yanshen looked at Old Master Fu, his tone calm but with an undeniable certainty, "Let's break off the engagement as soon as possible, so as not to delay Miss Liu."

Fu Jingming suddenly looked up, his face deathly pale: "Uncle! No! My engagement with Yun Shu cannot be dissolved!"

He looked at Liu Yunshu, his eyes full of pleading, "Yunshu, please let me explain. What happened just now was really an accident. I was bewitched..."

Mother Fu's eyes flickered.

She has never liked Liu Yunshu, and although the current situation is ugly, it is a good opportunity to manipulate the Su family.

So he took the opportunity to speak:

"Dad, since Jingming and Manli have come to this point, it will be a disgrace to both our families if word gets out."

"How about... we let Jingming marry Manli, as a way to give the Su family an explanation?"

"As for Yun Shu, it's normal for young people to break up if they don't get along. Our Fu family will make it up to her properly."

Upon hearing this, Su Manli suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with hope, and her gaze filled with tears as she looked at Old Master Fu.

"Grandpa Fu, I...I truly love Jingming, please grant us your blessing."

Grandpa Fu was so angry that he slammed his cane down again, then looked at Liu Yunshu, who was weeping uncontrollably.

A flicker of guilt crossed his eyes, but he finally made a resolute statement in a deep voice: "So be it! The engagement between Jingming and Yunshu is dissolved, effective today!"

"As for you and Su Manli... since you've done such shameless things, then set a date for your engagement, and stop disgracing the Fu family!"
