"Idiot!" Ye Zi gave her a sharp rap on the head, a smug sneer playing on her lips. "That's because you're there, acting like a third wheel, that's why he's playing hard to get."
"Oh." Feng Zi nodded in understanding first, then hesitated before denouncing the tyranny, "Ye Zi, you're so violent. I'm going to tell Lucky not to love you, just love me."
Enjoying it? A gay playboy? Playing right into it? Or... playing hard to get?
Fang Weiyang listened through gritted teeth, clenching his fists to suppress the urge to kill. His targets were naturally the woman inside who had misled the tomboy, and that fool and opportunist who dared to agree with her at every turn. They didn't have a single bit of faith in him! But before that, he would first break Shimada Jiro's bones and make him regret ever getting involved with the tomboy…
Pei Zaiyu, who had been standing behind him for an unknown amount of time, patted his shoulder lightly before he could erupt, signaling him to leave, and then turned and walked towards his office first. His handsome face, which appeared expressionless, revealed a deep smile in the corners of his eyes and brows.
If he hadn't inadvertently left the office door slightly ajar, given the excellent soundproofing design, he would never have heard that string of astonishing profanities, nor would he have come to check out out of curiosity, much less have overheard... well, although he was also one of the parties involved, he really didn't expect... this little girl, she's too naughty!
That long passage, enough to make even a saint commit a crime, was definitely meant to be heard by the person outside the door, which is why it was chosen to be... Alas, poor Yang, with yet another person riding on his head and doing whatever he wants.
"Keep your woman in check, or I might accidentally strangle her." As soon as he entered the office and closed the door, Fang Weiyang immediately revealed his true colors, speaking menacingly.
"My woman?" Pei Zaiyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, a glint of light flashing in his dark eyes. He casually asked, "How come I didn't know my secretary was my woman?"
"Don't tell me you still haven't realized that Ye Zi is the woman you were looking for seven years ago." Gone was his usual jest; Fang Weiyang's face remained grim. That damned tomboy! She actually let that woman slander him without uttering a single word in rebuttal—how despicable!
"So you knew all along, but you kept it from me?" Although it was a question, the implication was one of certainty.
"So what if I know?" He wasn't the kind of person many people had called noisy and stupid, so naturally he wouldn't remember it to the death. "She's not my woman, whether you acknowledge her or not is none of my business."
“It really has nothing to do with you.” Stupid, even Yang recognized her a long time ago, but he only realized it now… He changed the subject, coldly dragging him into the mess, “She just thinks you’re too noisy and too stupid.”
He knew that this man was still resentful about him using him, and now he was bringing up old grievances to provoke him. Rolling his eyes, Fang Weiyang "swallowed his anger" and gave him advice: "As far as I know, that woman and the tomboy have an 'ambiguous' relationship, and she claims to have a handsome guy at home. I overheard the tomboy mentioning his name as something like Lucky on the phone."
Ignoring Pei Zaiyu's suddenly cold gaze, Fang Weiyang gave him a concerned look that said, "You'd better watch yourself," and then rubbed his hands together as he walked toward the door.
"By the way, if Oni's vice president beats up a pervert from Fuji Corporation on some pretext, you won't be so angry you'll vomit blood, will you?" he asked.
"No, but your father definitely will!" A hint of interest appeared in Pei Zaiyu's cold and fierce eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips. "Remember, do it well, and also, throw a few more punches, don't embarrass Unnie."
"Of course." Thinking of the possible consequences, Fang Weiyang was so excited that he almost wanted to try it out, his refined and handsome face showing the same cold-bloodedness.
Mr. Shimada, you made a mistake by provoking me, and then you provoked the person I'm protecting—the tomboy!

"You...you..."
She sped to the company, leaving Ye Zi behind who was moving as slowly as a tortoise. Feng Zi, clutching a morning newspaper, rushed up to the 25th floor like she was on fire. Pointing at her boss, who was leisurely brewing coffee in the break room, she remained speechless for a long time.
"What's wrong with me?" Fang Weiyang smiled innocently at her and then gently placed her small hand in his palm, stroking it lightly.
"You...you hit that old bastard from Fuji Company?" Having finally regained her composure and voice after the shock, Feng Zi asked with a mixture of disbelief and doubt, "Really?"
"What do you think?" Fang Weiyang retorted. Even at this point, she still dared to doubt him; she deserved a beating! Yet his hand remained gripping Fengzi's small hand, playing with it incessantly. Hmm, he hadn't expected that this tomboy, though rough, would have such soft and smooth hands, so pleasant to touch.
"So what the newspapers said is true?" Feng Zi glanced again at the sensational headline on the morning paper—"Fuji CEO Harasss Young Woman in the Street, Vice President Oni Steps in to Stand Up for Her"—and exclaimed in disbelief, "God, am I dreaming?"
"Of course you're not dreaming!"
Ye Zi, who arrived shortly after, quickly pulled her away from the wolf's clutches. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and glared at Fang Weiyang before turning to her friend, who was shrewd in important matters but muddle-headed in trivial ones, and earnestly admonished her: "Didn't Lucky tell you that same-sex relationships aren't scary? What's scary is that these people who have promiscuous relationships carry some unclean things, like bacteria or viruses," she said, pulling Feng Zi back two steps with disgust. "But what's even scarier are those perverted bisexuals." Her beautiful eyes then glanced meaningfully at the half-boss whose face was a liverish color (the kind that appears as a mixture of blue, red, and white after a disease).
“Oh,” Fengzi nodded to indicate that she had heard of it, “but… the vice president looks very healthy, not like he has…”
"Go away! Are you a doctor?" Ye Zi scoffed. Seeing her obediently shake her head, she was satisfied and pressed on, "Besides, some diseases can't be seen from the outside. Also, even if he doesn't have it now, can you guarantee he won't get an A-series disease in the future?"
"I wouldn't dare." Although she was grateful that he had taught that old lecher Shimada a lesson, given Fang Weiyang's own flirtatious nature, she dared not vouch for him.
"Alright! I'll ask you again, what are you working so hard for?" The righteous army pressed their advantage once more.
"Make money to raise my son!"
"Do you want to go back home 'tainted' because of some unimportant person, only to be chased by your son and sprayed with disinfectant every day?"
No, I don't want that.
Having been successfully brainwashed, Fengzi immediately jumped back in horror at the thought of that tragic future, glaring fiercely at her boss as if he were a monster. "No! Lucky loves me the most, you can't ruin that!"
Fang Weiyang took several deep breaths before he managed to stop himself from rushing up and strangling the woman, the witch who was grinning smugly.
"I am not gay!" he said through gritted teeth, emphasizing each word, having long forgotten his carefully planned scheme.
"My God, you're bisexual!" Ye Zi exclaimed, as if she didn't want the world to be too peaceful.
"You...you..." Feng Zi took another step back, her outstretched slender fingers trembling uncontrollably as if she were having a spasm.
God, gods, it's not that he lacks manners or upbringing, it's just that this woman is too... too infuriating!
Fang Weiyang, enraged, tried to approach Ye Zi, but Feng Zi blocked his path in time. She declared righteously, "I won't let you hurt Ye Zi!"
"Get out of the way!" Fang Weiyang growled.
"No way!" Although the effeminate man's fierce appearance made her legs go weak, she was still stubborn and refused to budge an inch when it came to Ye Zi.
"Azi, he's so fierce, I...I'm so scared." She trembled weakly with fear while secretly making faces at Fang Weiyang.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Fang Weiyang was so angry he almost vomited blood. When did that woman ever show fear? She clearly had a "come and bite me if you dare" look on her face, and that stupid woman Feng Zi actually... used her as a pawn.
"Get out of the way, I'm your boss." After working together for three years, this was the first time he had used his position as the boss to intimidate me.
Feng Zi hesitated for a moment, then Ye Zi quickly added fuel to the fire, "So what if you have a boss? You can just quit, and I'll have Lucky support you."
“Lucky will support me even without you saying so; he loves me the most.” Feng Zi was furious and launched another attack for her son.
