When Fu Qingci saw Lin Ke, she smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, I often hear Fanfan mention you. Thank you for taking care of Fanfan on the show."
Lin Ke smiled and shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Fu, it's an honor to meet you!"
Lin Ke was smiling on the surface, but she was actually speechless inside.
The first thing the old man said to him was to assert his dominance.
She even thanked him for taking care of Xu Fan. I'm speechless. Aren't these the kind of things family members say?
Most importantly, Xu Fan had previously messaged him saying that he hadn't yet told Fu Qingci that he and Fu Qingci were together.
So he had to pretend he didn't know...
So is he part of their play?
He kept calling out "Fanfan" repeatedly, coupled with his excessively handsome face and his constant assertiveness...
For example, after getting into the car, Fu Qingci stopped Xu Fan, who was about to sit in the back seat with him, and said that his eyes were a little uncomfortable today, so he needed Xu Fan to take a look at them for him.
A clumsy excuse; he thought Fu Qingci's eyes were perfectly fine.
The key point is that Xu Fan was foolish enough to believe it, and asked Fu Qingci with a concerned look if something had gotten into her eyes.
Fu Qingci nodded and said seriously that something seemed to have gotten inside, and she would need to trouble Fanfan to blow it out.
The two sat close together, and he sat alone in the middle of the back seat with his arms crossed, just like watching a TV drama.
Yeah, the view is great, although it's a little awkward, but it's still fun!
It's that old rascal. His excuse is so cliché. Blowing eyelashes? Lin Ke thought she had traveled back to her childhood and watched Mary Sue idol dramas with her mother.
After finally getting the wind up and starting to drive, Fu Qingci would feel uncomfortable whenever Xu Fan tried to talk to him.
Xu Fan knew that leaving Lin Ke alone in the back seat made him feel a little awkward, but Brother Fu said his eyes were uncomfortable and he needed him, so he wanted to sit in the passenger seat and help Brother Fu see the road.
So Xu Fan tried to chat with Lin Ke as much as possible to make her feel less awkward. That's when the old man started acting up. One minute he said his throat was a little itchy and he needed Fan Fan to feed him water, and the next minute he said his hair was blocking his eyes and he needed Fan Fan to clear it for him...
Please! You're such a grown-up, yet you're acting like a giant baby, needing to be fed water! Can't you blow-dry your hair to fix it? Your hairstyle looks great, you even used hairspray, where did these stray hairs come from that's covering your eyes!
And aren't you supposed to be a domineering CEO? If you keep acting all coquettish and whiny in front of outsiders, it's like you're being a spoiled brat. Isn't your persona about to crumble?
The key point is that Xu Fan was still enjoying it, her eyes sparkling, feeling happy that she had helped Brother Fu.
One minute he'd say, "Brother Fu, there's a big truck behind you." The next minute he'd say, "Brother Fu, there looks like a car is about to overtake you."
At this point, Fu Qingci would feign shock: "I didn't even notice, thanks to Fanfan, Fanfan is amazing..."
Then Xu Fan lowered her head shyly.
That's enough!
When Lin Ke finally arrived at the restaurant, she felt as if an eternity had passed.
He was speechless and helpless because of Fu Qingci's crazy actions, and then he became numb.
The moment Lin Ke saw the restaurant, her eyes lit up, and she regained her spirits.
He knows this place! It's the most upscale restaurant in the capital!
The price is also ridiculously high.
He couldn't bear to eat at this restaurant. Although it looked tempting, he felt it wasn't worth spending so much money on a meal.
Ahhhhh! But he doesn't have to pay for this meal!
Suddenly, Lin Ke thought of something.
Xu Fan messaged him saying he wanted to treat him to dinner, so Xu Fan should be paying for the meal. Fu Qingci even brought him to such an expensive restaurant. Although he knew Fu Qingci would definitely pay, and this was a good opportunity to show off his wealth to his love rival, it might affect Xu Fan's mood.
He didn't think Xu Fan's meager salary was enough to afford him this meal.
Wow! It looks so good!
Xu Fan was stunned by the glittering plaque after getting out of the car. Brother Fu was so kind; knowing that he was going to treat his friends to dinner, he helped him choose such a nice place.
As he looked around, Xu Fan felt a pang of worry. Was this restaurant going to be expensive? It wasn't that he was stingy; he was just worried that his savings wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of the meal.
Before she could think much of it, Fu Qingci said gently, "Let's go inside."
Xu Fan nodded, then turned to Lin Ke and said, "Lin Ke, let's go!"
Lin Ke nodded, then shook her head again in a corner where Fu Qingci and Xu Fan couldn't see her.
The old man brought him here simply to show off his wealth to his love rival, which made Fu Qingci overlook Xu Fan's feelings.
It seems that Mr. Fu, like ordinary people, cannot be perfect in every aspect when it comes to matters of the heart.
The fact that he did this today clearly shows that he's been blinded by ambition and is now trying to compete.
Hopefully, after we've talked things out, Fu Qingci won't act like this anymore.
Fu Qingci had booked a private room in advance. The waiter brought out a menu for Xu Fan and Lin Ke to order. Strangely, the menu did not have prices listed.
This put Lin Ke in a bit of a dilemma. The pictures of the dishes made his mouth water, and he wanted to eat them all. But if Xu Fan insisted on paying the bill later, he would have to choose something cheaper.
What dishes look relatively inexpensive? These dishes all look fancy, and Lin Ke doesn't think they're cheap at all.
Seriously, they don't even list prices. Is it because rich people don't care about prices at all?
I'll always hate rich people!
Xu Fan was also confused. He didn't know what to order, and there were no prices on the menu.
Xu Fan felt that the waiter should know, but wouldn't it be a killjoy to ask the waiter?
It would be really disappointing if he finally got to treat everyone but still had to worry about the price.
So Xu Fan said to Fu Qingci and Lin Ke, "Brother Fu, Lin Ke, order whatever dishes you like. They all look delicious."
Fu Qingci nodded as if she had expected this: "Fanfan is great, she's not picky about food at all."
Xu Fan blushed slightly, embarrassed, after Fu Qingci praised her in front of Lin Ke.
How could Brother Fu praise someone like that? These are usually complimenting children…
Lin Ke covered her face with the menu and rolled her eyes. The old man had bewitched Xu Fan with his sweet talk.
Fu Qingci ordered a few dishes that Xu Fan should like, and then looked at Lin Ke.
For some reason, Lin Ke understood Fu Qingci's gaze.
Looking at the menu without any prices, Lin Ke suddenly realized that Fu Qingci must have planned everything.
It's highly likely that Fu Qingci will pay later!
That old fox is incredibly cunning. He was just thinking about how Fu Qingci was ignoring Xu Fan's feelings, but he didn't expect that Fu Qingci had already made arrangements!
Lin Ke didn't stand on ceremony and ordered a lot of dishes that looked delicious and expensive.
Seeing that Lin Ke ordered a lot, Xu Fan thought that Lin Ke must like this restaurant. He looked at Fu Qingci with admiring eyes and thought, "Brother Fu picked a really good restaurant!"
The dishes were served quickly, and Lin Ke tasted a few bites. They truly lived up to their reputation!
Fu Qingci first served Xu Fan some food: "Eat more, Fanfan, you should like this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan understood. It turned out that Brother Fu had ordered the dishes according to his preferences.
But even he himself doesn't know what he likes.
Fu Qingci understood him better than Xu Fan himself. Although they had only known each other for a short time, Fu Qingci was very observant and could naturally tell.
Having eaten enough, Xu Fan felt it was time to get down to business.
He glanced at Lin Ke, and when Lin Ke noticed someone looking at her, she met Xu Fan's gaze and they exchanged a glance.
Xu Fan had told Lin Ke in advance to pretend that she didn't know he was with Fu Qingci.
Otherwise it would seem too deliberate, like putting on this whole thing just to avoid making Brother Fu jealous.
Xu Fan organized his thoughts and said to Lin Ke, "Lin Ke, I also want to take this opportunity to thank you. Thank you for making me realize my own feelings. Brother Fu and I... are together now, and it's all thanks to you."
Lin Ke feigned an exaggerated expression: "Wow! You two are actually together! It's a two-way street!"
Fu Qingci stared speechlessly at Lin Ke's clumsy acting. Wasn't this guy an actor? His acting was so fake...
He had already guessed that Lin Ke knew he was with Fanfan.
While in the car, after he and Fanfan had an intimate interaction, Fu Qingci glanced at Lin Ke in the mirror, and Lin Ke's expression showed no surprise.
However... he only just realized that it was Lin Ke who had awakened him to Fanfan's feelings for him.
It seems that Lin Ke doesn't have that kind of affection for Fanfan.
He said, "How could Fanfan suddenly become enlightened?"
Fu Qingci smiled and put her arm around Xu Fan's shoulder, saying to Lin Ke, "I'm very grateful to you too."
Lin Ke buried himself in his rice and took a moment to say, "You're welcome."
He accepted Xu Fan's thanks; the boy was so honest, he had thanked him countless times.
It seems he does indeed have a talent for being a relationship coach.
But this old guy is really something else, all he does is say thank you, at least show some appreciation!
They didn't order him more dishes, or give him the stable job he dreamed of!
Xu Fan turned her head to look at Fu Qingci's bright smile. Brother Fu is smiling so happily, he shouldn't be jealous anymore, right?
But after Xu Fan finished filming the scene, his heart was beating unusually fast. He felt very embarrassed, and he also felt that Brother Fu had seen through everything.
So Xu Fan made an excuse to go to the bathroom, actually feeling a little embarrassed and needing to calm down.
As soon as Xu Fan left, Lin Ke put down her chopsticks and elegantly wiped her mouth.
Fu Qingci looked at Lin Ke and got straight to the point: "Fanfan should have told you this afternoon."
With a very confident tone, Lin Ke chuckled. As expected of President Fu, he was truly clever.
Lin Ke said slowly, "I know you see me as a rival in love, but Xu Fan and I are really just friends. You two got together thanks to me."
"Xu Fan never understood his feelings for you. I told him it was love, and I also told him you should like him back, but he didn't believe me. You should be the one to confess, right?"
Fu Qingci nodded.
Lin Ke continued, "I knew it. Otherwise, given Xu Fan's personality, he probably would never have said it in his entire life."
Fu Qingci asked Lin Ke, "When did this happen?"
"Last time I went to your company to pick up Xu Fan, you deliberately touched her inappropriately in front of me to assert your dominance. Don't think I didn't see it!"
Fu Qingci thought about it and realized that it was no wonder Xu Fan had distanced himself from him during that time.
After realizing her feelings for him, why did Fanfan distance herself instead of getting closer? It was as if she wanted to draw a line between them.
Fu Qingci frowned with heartache; Fanfan was really too insecure.
It's all his fault. He should have realized it sooner and expressed his feelings to Fanfan sooner. Fanfan is sensitive and thoughtful, and she thinks more than others. How did he get through those days?
Facing this relationship alone must be very difficult.
Lin Ke spoke again: "Although I'm not your love rival, you have plenty of them! That Ji Yuzhi really likes Xu Fan. He's like a shadow on the show, and he even watches Xu Fan sleep. He's like a pervert. Maybe it wasn't filmed at the time. Be careful, and make trouble for him more often in the future. Don't flaunt your wealth or your looks with me anymore. And that Ji Feng too."
After finishing speaking, Lin Ke sighed with relief, finally explaining everything clearly!
"Thank you, I will be more careful in the future."
"Also, thank you so much for taking care of Fanfan on the show."
Fu Qingci spoke very earnestly and sincerely this time, making Lin Ke a little embarrassed.
"You should treat Xu Fan well. Although you are very rich and powerful, Xu Fan is also a good person. I don't think he is unworthy of you."
Thinking of Xu Fan, Fu Qingci's eyes were filled with tenderness.
His Fanfan is the most handsome, cutest, kindest, and most caring baby in the world.
"I will, thank you."
After a conversation, Fu Qingci also learned that Lin Ke was genuinely kind to Xu Fan and cared about him a lot.
He was happy that Fanfan had such a friend.
Fu Qingci recalled her disdain for Xu Fan when she first watched the program.
At that time, not only did the people on the show dislike Xu Fan, but he also disliked Xu Fan, thinking that he was sloppy and treated Fu Chun badly. If it weren't for Lin Ke always protecting Xu Fan, who knows how badly Xu Fan would have been bullied.
The thought of this made Fu Qingci's heart ache.
He had wanted to tell Fanfan about this and apologize as soon as possible, but now he didn't dare.
He finally got together with Fanfan. What if Fanfan is upset and distances herself from him because of this?
He even wanted to travel back in time and slap his past self who had looked down on Xu Fan, leaving him bruised and battered.
Fu Qingci sighed. No matter what, he still had to apologize to Fanfan. If Fanfan distanced herself from him, it would be retribution for his misinterpretation.
Lin Ke couldn't understand why President Fu, who had been so happy just moments before, had suddenly become melancholy.
Then, Fu Qingci gave Lin Ke what he wanted most.
iron rice bowl!
Fu Qingci was truly grateful to Lin Ke for helping Xu Fan when he was being bullied. The Fu family owned an entertainment company that existed even before Fu Qingci took over the family business. It had produced many famous artists and, most importantly, had abundant resources.
By joining this company, Lin Ke will no longer have to work himself to the bone filming short dramas. He can film serious dramas, hone his acting skills, and become famous. That's what he wants.
Fu Qingci will arrange for the best and most experienced agent to promote him.
Lin Ke was initially delighted upon hearing this, but after a moment of contemplation, she said, "Let me think about it."
Fu Qingci nodded.
I miss Fanfan so much. Why has Fanfan been gone for so long?
Could it be that his stomach is upset? No, he has to go find Fanfan.
