Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

Yan Rusheng had initiated this meeting today, and Secretary Liu had a hunch that it was because his wife wanted to acquire the land for Tiny Stars Orphanage. He had planned to wait for him to start the ball rolling, and then he would pretend that the matter was tricky before agreeing to his request.     

Unexpectedly, he had threatened him right away.     

But based on the present circumstances, he had to put his pride aside and swallow his anger in order to build a diplomatic relationship with him.     

Even if he didn't want his vote, he had to consider that Yan Rusheng had a hold over him. Yan Rusheng definitely had concrete evidence if he was confident enough to threaten him.     

The first thing Yan Rusheng did when Fang Jiayin arrived was to observe Xuxu's reaction.     

He was frustrated by Fang Jiayin's sudden arrival. Why didn't she mention before that she had an uncle who was working as a government official in the capital city?     

I hope this dumb woman won't jump to the conclusion that I deliberately brought her here to meet Fang Jiayin! As Yan Rusheng thought to himself.     

The room fell silent, and Fang Jiayin glanced at Secretary Liu before turning to Yan Rusheng and Xuxu. She smiled as she asked, "What happened? Did I interrupt your discussion?"     

"No, you didn't. Join us for the meal," Secretary Liu replied to Fang Jiayin with a laugh before picking up his chopsticks.     

He urged Yan Rusheng and Xuxu to eat as well.     

There was a plate of sirloin right in front of Yan Rusheng, and he silently picked up a piece and placed it in Xuxu's bowl.     

The entire time, he didn't look at Fang Jiayin at all.     

Xuxu looked at the tender sirloin for a moment, and without thinking, she picked up some vegetables and placed it inside Yan Rusheng's bowl. "You eat too."     

She had no idea why she did that, but there was a fleeting thrill coursing through her as though she was taking her revenge.     

Years ago, Fang Jiayin had always served food to Yan Rusheng and smiled affectionately at him all the time while Xuxu was around.     

After the thrill faded from her body, she felt that she was being too childish.     

They were in love at that time; wasn't it normal for them to serve each other food? And Fang Jiayin didn't do it on purpose to show off to her at the time. So seeking revenge for that now was simply too ridiculous and unreasonable.     

But her little 'revenge' had made Young Master Yan overjoyed, and he had the urge to kiss her on her cheeks.     

But he didn't want her to assume that he was doing it just to show Fang Jiayin. So he scrapped that idea.     

"President Yan and Madam Yan truly deserve their reputation for being so loving towards each other."     

Secretary Liu noticed their interactions and immediately seized this opportunity to talk to Yan Rusheng.     

Yan Rusheng shot Secretary Liu an approving look for his comment.     

This old fellow was indeed quite witty and knew how to pander to him.     

Fang Jiayin interjected with a smile and said, "I agree. I even read about them on the news while I was overseas."     

Hearing this, Xuxu recalled reading about them on the local websites.     

But she didn't see them appearing on the international news though.     

Yan Rusheng's various flings over the years had been reported frequently, so Fang Jiayin must have followed his news regularly. Even though she appeared calm and natural, as though she had put the past behind her and had forgotten all about Yan Rusheng, Xuxu's instincts told her that the truth wasn't so simple.     

A woman's intuition is very accurate, and she believed in her own.     

So the more natural and composed Fang Jiayin seemed, the more Xuxu felt that she was hiding something.     

Of course, she hoped that she was just projecting her shortcomings on someone else and that she was simply being too sensitive.     

Xuxu continued to eat as though she wasn't paying any attention to the conversation. Her expression didn't betray her thoughts at all.     

Yan Rusheng looked at Fang Jiayin with an arrogant expression. He smirked lightly. "Miss Fang, you must be joking. Xuxu and I haven't been on the international news."
