Chapter 40: Barking Like a Dog—Yet No Apology Suffices

Xia Xixi never expected.

That such a day would come.

No.

She couldn't accept it.

She absolutely couldn't accept it!

"Feng Yu, don't you want me to bark like a dog for you? I'll do it. I'm begging you. Please spare our Xia family," Xia Xixi crawled over and hugged Feng Yu's calf.

"Woof, woof, woof. Feng Yu, no, Mrs. Fu, I'm begging you. Spare me. I was wrong... I don't want to become a penniless girl. I don't want to squeeze into the subway with those stinky men."

"Woof, woof, woof."

Xia Xixi panicked, not because of the Xia family's bankruptcy or her father's arrest, but because she was worried about her own future.

She was a pampered young lady who never did any housework. She didn't want to be a penniless girl, to squeeze into the bus or subway like those commoners, or to eat boxed lunches!

"Woof, woof, woof." She wagged her head and tail like a dog, looking so obsequious that no one could recognize her as the haughty and domineering woman from not long ago.

However, Feng Yu remained cold - faced.

If they had shown even a little tolerance to her younger brother back then, she might have softened her heart. But...

It was they who had pushed her brother into the abyss step by step. Her brother was still on the hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance. How could she easily let them go!

She lifted her foot and pulled away from Xia Xixi's grasp. She said word by word, her voice icy, "This is the retribution you deserve."

Fu Qianchen supported her and led her away.

Behind them came the mocking voices of the crowd. For a moment, those big men also approached Xia Xixi, demanding money.

Originally, they were hired by Xia Xixi, but since they hadn't been paid yet, none of them was willing to leave.

In the casino.

The panicked manager asked the man who had just arrived, "Master Mu, what should we do here?"

Xia Xixi was barking like a dog on the ground like a madwoman, shouting. And the men beside her were pressing for debts and interrogating her.

Some of them were even about to do a taboo live - broadcast with her.

Mu Li's eyes were cold. "She offended Chou Fu. What do you think?"

The manager was stunned like a statue.

Originally, he had a bit of sympathy, but now all that was left was a sigh.

He should have guessed earlier. Who else could be treated so politely by their master?

Unexpectedly, it was really true.

Chou Fu.

A name that inspired awe and fear. No wonder with just one word from him, the Xia family could go bankrupt instantly.

It was because he was Chou Fu, the man who could dominate the world!

This woman was really courting death. She had offended the wrong person. Not only did she offend Chou Fu, but also Master Fu's woman.

Mu Li said indifferently, "Close the casino for a day. As long as no one dies, don't interfere with the rest."

After he left, no one in the casino intervened anymore.

Xia Xixi panicked. Seeing that she was about to be tortured, she finally tasted the consequences of her own actions.

She was completely panicked.

She had originally wanted to ruin Feng Yu's reputation, but she never thought that the same thing would happen to her.

"No, don't."

Xia Xixi had nowhere to escape. Just as the casino door was about to close.

Feng Qingsheng was happily walking in with Mu Shiyan, looking for some fun.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Xia Xixi, who was in a state of utter desolation and embarrassment.

"Qingsheng, Qingsheng, help me. I don't want to be a commoner. I don't want to be...," the moment Xia Xixi saw Feng Qingsheng, she seemed to see hope. She rushed forward and hugged Feng Qingsheng's thigh.

Feng Qingsheng pinched her nose, looking disgusted. If Mu Shiyan hadn't been there, she would have directly called Xia Xixi a stinky dog.

"Let go of me. Let go and then talk."

Xia Xixi cried messily. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked Feng Yu. Don't provoke her. She's not someone we can mess with."

"Feng Yu?"

Feng Qingsheng snorted disdainfully, not taking it seriously at all.

She just thought Xia Xixi was an idiot and couldn't handle things. She didn't believe that a mere Feng Yu could do anything to her.

"Shiyan, look. I told you that Feng Yu had bad intentions. Look at how she treated Xixi. She's so pitiful. Let's take her back to take a bath first," Feng Qingsheng said in a soft voice, trying hard to maintain her image of being kind and compassionate.

Xia Xixi often went to the Feng family, so she naturally recognized Mu Shiyan.

Since childhood, Mu Shiyan had been handsome. Which little girl wouldn't like such a handsome and sunny boy?

It was a pity that in the past, he only had eyes for Feng Yu.

Just thinking of Feng Yu, Xia Xixi shivered.

...

On the other side.

In the car, only Fu Qianchen and Feng Yu were left.

Bai Shaoting left tactfully, and Fu Yue was nowhere to be found. The enclosed car was filled with silence.

"Little maid, is this how you treat your master who has helped you? Can't you even say thank you?" Fu Qianchen leaned back, the corners of his thin lips curving slightly, looking pleased.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu. But I don't need you to meddle in my business," Feng Yu was still angry, so her words were a bit prickly.

Fu Qianchen smiled faintly. He leaned over and pinched Feng Yu's cheeks, forcing her to turn towards him. "You really are an ungrateful thing. If I hadn't stepped in, do you think you could have walked out unscathed?"

This was true.

No matter how capable she was, she could deal with one or two people, but against a group of people, she would be at a disadvantage.

Feng Yu pouted and thanked him again. "Thank you, Mr. Fu."

The girl's little face was full of reluctance and she was throwing a tantrum. No matter how he looked at her, she was so cute.

"Do you know how women usually thank men?"

Fu Qianchen whispered in her ear. His deep voice was magnetic and very alluring.

The voice of an adult man was already full of temptation.

Especially a man like him who had achieved success in his career. His voice was full of calmness and confidence.

Few girls could resist it.

Especially when they were so close that the air around them was filled with his scent.

Just as his lips were about to kiss her, Feng Yu pressed her hand against his lips.

"Mr. Fu, why do you always have to provoke me?" Feng Yu was extremely unwilling.

She hated the way she was being controlled by him.

She also hated this uncomfortable and forbearing feeling.

Fu Qianchen stared at the girl in front of him. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a mist, and her long eyelashes were trembling.

Fu Qianchen's deep eyes locked on to her grievance. His brows furrowed slightly, and then he planted a kiss on her palm and said, "I not only want to provoke you, but I also want you."

His bold and explicit words ignited the atmosphere.

Fu Qianchen pulled her into his arms. There was a hint of wickedness in his deep eyes. "I wonder, would you give yourself to me? Your actions tonight made me very unhappy. Why did you provoke Shaoting?"

He hugged her so tightly that Feng Yu could almost feel his burning body temperature.

If he hadn't mentioned it, it would have been fine. As soon as he did, Feng Yu was full of grievances and dissatisfaction. "Fu Qianchen, it was you who told me to find someone else. Why do you care who I find!"

He pinched the tender flesh on her waist and then bit her neck. "No one but me is allowed!

"Don't even think about it!"

He buried his head in her neck domineeringly. Feng Yu struggled in his arms angrily. "You can find women. Why can't I find men! Fu Qianchen, don't touch me with the hands that have touched other women, and don't kiss me. I'm disgusted!"

Fu Qianchen looked at her and realized where her anger came from.

The original anger in his eyes disappeared completely, leaving only amusement and joy. "When did I ever kiss another woman? How come I don't know?"
