« Grosse femme je suis affamé ! »

Chapitre 12

He still couldn't believe that the man who had been smiling so gently just a moment ago could turn into a demon in the next, striking with a brutality that seemed intent on killing him. Fortunately, the woman he had bribed screamed in terror, attracting the attention of the guards and saving his life, but—

“Young Master Hideki is a blessing from God,” he said with a tone full of reverence.

Yeah?

The old man pursed his lips and remained silent. After a long while, he suddenly said in a pitying tone, "Go back now. After you recover from your injuries, I will have someone arrange for you to stay temporarily at the branch office in Hokkaido."

He waved his hand, and after Shimada Jiro left with a face full of gratitude, he turned and walked to the window, gazing out the window, a faint smile of admiration finally appearing on his lips.

He was ruthless and did it cleanly and neatly; he truly deserves to be called the son of Yuji Takahashi.

But given his previous pattern of restraint and deliberate obfuscation, why did he suddenly make a move? Was it to protect that woman?

"Avenge every wrong" was the principle he taught him to live by. So, the fact that he was willing to disrupt his own plans meant he had already decided to bring that woman under his wing! And what would become of his feud with her? He was actually somewhat looking forward to it.

"Hideki...Hideki..."

He sighed repeatedly, and finally, a cold glint appeared in his piercing eyes. He laughed coldly, his laughter devoid of warmth and filled with malevolence.

Hideki, you can't beat me!

In this world, we only ever see eagles throwing their eaglets off cliffs to teach them how to fly; there has never been a case of an eaglet pecking its parent eagle out of its eye.

“Don’t tell me you’re not gay, even if you are,” the old man walked back to his desk, looking at the photo of Fang Weiyang and Pei Zaiyu kissing with hatred, and said bitterly, “I will make you leave a seed for the Takahashi family!”

Suddenly, he strode to the door, clapped his hands lightly, and a middle-aged woman in a kimono appeared beside him, waiting for his instructions.

"Send someone to invite Miss Minako over and tell her that there is news about Hideki."

The old man watched with satisfaction as his servants scurried off. He smiled contentedly and muttered to himself, "If everyone has a weakness, Hideki, then Minako is yours!"

"Xiao Zi, today I..."

With a "snap," Feng Zi placed a thick stack of documents in front of Fang Weiyang with a blank expression and said in a serious tone, "Vice President, all of these documents need your signature and approval."

"But I..." So much?

Looking at the pile of documents that could practically bury him, Fang Weiyang's handsome face contorted in misery, and he almost burst into tears. Good heavens, so many documents—wouldn't his hands cramp from signing them all?!

"Given your recent laziness, loitering, slacking off, and skipping work, Vice President, this is already the least of it." She had already taken care of the rest, the less important ones.

Feng Zi suppressed her urge to fly into a rage. She glared coldly at her slacking boss, almost gritting her teeth. That damned sissy! She had even felt sorry for him, and now he dared to push his luck by dumping all the work on her, forcing her to work overtime until midnight every day. She didn't even have time to be intimate with Lucky. He was a complete bastard.

Sensing the rage in her eyes, Fang Weiyang wisely touched his nose and obediently sat down to handle his official business.

To be honest, he's been really messing around lately. What can he do? He's just so jealous—just thinking about Fengzi being with that Lucky after get off work, letting him hug her, kiss her, and do whatever he wants, makes him seethe with hatred. So, he's not a saint, why did he let his assistant go home so early, letting another man have her?

A few hours later, when he finally finished his last official business and excitedly ran to Fengzi to ask for credit, he found that his assistant was already outside the office.

"Xiaozi, wait a minute!"

"Vice President, something's up!" Feng Zi impatiently withdrew her left foot, which was about to step into the elevator, and glared at him rudely.

What the hell? Can't he see that she's starving and desperately needs to eat?

"How about I treat you to Japanese ramen? There's a new shop that just opened not far from here, and the food is really authentic," he said warmly.

Ramen! Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

"How far?"

"It's only a 25-minute drive, isn't that close?"

It was so close that she could starve to death on the road.

"No need, I brought a lunchbox." It's on the 26th floor, only half a minute away.

"What's so good about the bento boxes? The ramen broth from that place..." Fang Weiyang wanted to say more, but Feng Zi was too lazy to pay attention to him. She cursed the elevator that never came, turned around and walked towards the stairwell to climb the stairs.

Fang Weiyang quickly turned around and followed, speaking plaintively in an attempt to get the beauty's attention.

"Xiao Zi—"

Fengzi still ignored him.

He persevered and tried again, chanting, "Xiao Zi, Xiao Zi, Xiao..."

"Shut up!"

Finally, annoyed to no end, Feng Zi roared, turning around to glare at Fang Weiyang. She grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Stop following me around and yelling in my ear. I know you're gay, but stop showing up in front of me all the time, I can't stand it!"

“But…” Fang Weiyang blinked his big eyes, looking aggrieved, and added innocently, “They only have you as a friend.”

"Stop talking about other people, stop talking about me!" Feng Zi sighed and rubbed her forehead, unable to bear it any longer. "Sometimes I really wonder if you're even a man, you surnamed Fang."

Yes, of course he is, and it would be even better if she wanted to confirm it herself.

"You... Xiaozhi, how could you say that to me? I... I..."

"Say it about me!" she said impatiently, giving him a sharp rap on the head. Her usually dashing eyebrows arched as she vented her pleasure, and she almost chuckled out loud.

Great! She's always at a disadvantage at home, getting bullied by Yezi and Lucky. Today, she finally has her own punching bag.

She's laughing!

This woman was actually laughing after hitting him?!
