Chapter 59 What kind of person is she?
Night fell over the city, the early summer breeze carrying the daytime heat, and various vehicles whizzed by on the streets.
After a big argument, I was filled with resentment and anger, as if a flame was burning fiercely in my chest.
Driven by that intense emotion, I turned around and left home without hesitation.
Her steps were hurried and disordered, each step feeling like she was stepping on the tip of her broken heart, as if she wanted to leave all the pain behind.
Once outside the house, I wandered aimlessly through the bustling streets like a walking corpse.
The flowers lining both sides of the street were vibrant and beautiful, their colorful hues weaving together into a dazzling ocean before my eyes, but I had no mood to appreciate them at all.
Those scenes that I usually find beautiful now appear dull and lifeless. The noise of people and vehicles passing by can't penetrate the loneliness and confusion in my heart.
The scene of arguing with Lin Yue kept replaying in his mind; those words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart again and again.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops, like beads from a broken string, poured down from the sky with a pattering sound. The rain curtain was like a huge, fine silk, hanging down densely and enveloping the entire world.
When the rain poured down, the city seemed shrouded in a thick fog. The rising mist blurred distant objects, making everything appear hazy and mysterious.
The raindrops pounded on the ground, making a "pitter-patter" sound that echoed the hurried footsteps of pedestrians, intertwining with each other like a stirring and rhythmic prelude to the night.
"Mr. Fu, isn't that the assistant who interviewed you today? Why is he walking alone in the rain without an umbrella?"
Following the gaze, the woman was Xie Shiyun.
"Follow her."
The rain never stopped; in fact, it poured down...
The person inside the car remained seated with their knees crossed the entire time, leaning back in an upright posture with slightly narrowed eyes, presenting her with a silent profile.
She was in the rain, he was in the car, one soaked to the bone, the other watching indifferently.
Then he ordered the car to speed up and move forward, ignoring the silly woman getting soaked in the rain...
And she just kept walking, standing there in a daze.
A black umbrella appeared, raindrops fell on its surface, water droplets dripped down, and the umbrella was slightly raised to reveal half of her face. In this torrential rain, the man suddenly appeared before her.
As he walked towards her step by step, the surrounding scenery seemed to slow down deliberately…
She slowly walked up to her, her gaze involuntarily falling on the man before her. For a moment, she was momentarily stunned, as if time itself had stood still. Then, she softly said, "Mr. Fu, what are you doing here..."
Fu Shiyue's already somewhat cold face now showed an even more indifferent expression. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice with a hint of displeasure, "What's wrong with you doing getting soaked in the rain? Get in the car! Don't waste time here."
After saying that, he pulled her to the back seat of the car without any hesitation. His actions were swift and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.
She was a little stunned by his sudden action. She sat blankly in the back seat, watching him quickly walk around to the driver's seat, sit down, start the car, and speed away, leaving behind a trail of splashing water and the turmoil in her heart.
Inside the car, the slightly quiet atmosphere seemed to isolate the two of them from the outside world.
The two of them remained silent, as if by unspoken agreement, each lost in their own thoughts.
Fu Shiyue turned slightly to the side and casually tossed her a soft towel. The action was natural and casual, as if it were just an ordinary gesture. His deep, slightly commanding voice followed: "Clean yourself up first."
She looked up in surprise at the towel offered to her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. But she silently picked it up and gently dried her wet hair. The towel's delicate touch glided through her fingertips, seemingly taking away some of the dampness and fatigue.
As she wiped herself clean, she sensed the faint scent in the air, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu."
"Where do you live? I'll take you home," he said coldly.
House…
Sometimes I think of that heartless home, the heartless Lin Yue, and her mother.
"I...don't have a home...just take me to that bus stop up ahead, I have somewhere to go..."
She spoke haltingly.
Fu Shiyue turned to look at her like this, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I said, Assistant Xie, your way of striking up a conversation is a bit outdated. Walking in the rain, trying to attract attention and gain my sympathy..."
She had just begun to change her opinion of this aloof CEO because he had offered her an umbrella, but she never expected what he would say to be so infuriating.
"Mr. Fu, do you think I'm trying to get your attention? Fine, please stop at the next intersection. I can walk by myself. You don't need to do me a favor. Stop the car!"
The driver didn't stop and continued driving as usual. He would only stop when Mr. Fu told him to; no one else's order would be effective.
Then, Fu Shiyue looked at her, his gaze close to hers, his voice hoarse: "Come to my place, I'll let you stay for one night."
Xie Shiyun was speechless. She turned to look out the window, wondering if her boss had some kind of delusional disorder.
He acts like every woman around him is interested in him—what a narcissistic man!
The car arrived at the villa quickly.
"get off."
"President Fu is really different from others. He lives in a rather remote place. Is he trying to become a hermit?"
She started arguing with him as soon as she got out of the car.
Fu Shiyue walked towards her with his hands in his pockets. "I'm not letting you stay here for free. It's 800 a night, deducted from your salary."
What?! 800 for one night's accommodation...
"you…"
"Of course, you can choose not to stay. Go back now, I won't stop you. Don't blame me for not warning you, you won't be able to get a taxi here."
I couldn't believe it when I heard that; how could a CEO be so stingy...
A good woman doesn't argue with a man. 800 a night is 800. She can always work harder later.
"Okay, Mr. Fu, I am very grateful that you took me in. I have no problem with that, and I will not provide you with food and lodging."
"Ah."
Then, he leisurely walked inside.
She followed
Xie Shiyun stayed in a guest room on the second floor and went to bed early because of her sadness and grief that day.
He was in the master bedroom on the first floor; they were on different floors, their rooms corresponding to each other.
Today, it was pouring rain, and this woman was so heartbroken and sad in the rain…
Something stirred within me, I don't know what it was...
He walked to the window, picked up the glass of red wine in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
This woman is also the secretary I'll be spending every day with from now on...
