Chapter 5 – He likes slender waist?

Most of the friends who were with Fu Cheng’an this time had close relationships, especially Zhou Zhiyuan. They grew up together since kindergarten until high school. When they went to college, because Fu Cheng’an seemed to have a resume that could shine, Zhou Zhiyuan, who was a mediocre student, did not continue to be his classmate.

On the terrace, Fu Cheng’an looked at the sea breeze and listened to Zhou Zhiyuan’s complaints to one of their friends.

The cause of the matter was that this friend had a fight with his fiancee. The reason for the fight was that he used what he thought was an okay communication method to talk to his fiancee, but as a result, she became angry and gave him the silent treatment. So he also became very angry now.

Zhou Zhiyuan had a rich romantic history. “Why don’t you stay single like Brother Fu? One is a single high-mountain flower without desire or demand, and the other is that if I were a woman, I wouldn’t even want to talk to you while being single. She’s your fiancée, not your subordinate. You should reconsider your way of communication.”

Over the years, Zhou Zhiyuan has had many girlfriends, and the experience with each girlfriend was very good.

Zhou Zhiyuan : “Why don’t you try to coax your fiancee? Even if it’s a business marriage, it’s really for your own emotional turmoil. Be a better person, understand? Maybe your fiancee already calls you a worthless man in private.”

Fu Cheng’an paused for a moment and didn’t say anything.

Zhou Zhiyuan : “If she’s too soft, it’s even more pitiful. She probably can’t sleep because of you. I really suggest that if your fiancee wants to date, she’d rather date someone like me, a scumbag who will break up if she doesn’t feel like it, than date someone like you. How can you call it dating?”

Jiang Hao, who was being told off, interjected, “Okay, okay, stop talking. I’ll go apologize.”

Zhou Zhiyuan : “Exactly! Even if it’s a business marriage, you still need to respect each other and have a sense of responsibility as a man. She’s your fiancee, right? She’ll be your wife in the future, won’t she? Don’t hurt her feelings.” After finishing, he asked, “Brother Fu, am I right?”

Fu Cheng’an remained silent.

Zhou Zhiyuan : “You, who have never been in a relationship, don’t understand how difficult it is to endure the emotional turmoil that comes with it.” After speaking, he took a sip of his drink and looked into the distance without saying anything further.

That night, Fu Cheng’an didn’t know how things were between Jiang Hao and his fiancee, but he dreamed about Ruan Xia.

In the morning, Fu Cheng’an checked his phone and saw that Ruan Xia still hadn’t replied to his message.

When it came to matters of love and the emotional toll it takes on one’s personal and professional life, Fu Cheng’an was clueless. He had always focused on solving problems as they arose and considering how to resolve them.

Fu Cheng’an’s grandfather has worked diligently his entire life, and his evaluation of Fu Cheng’an is that he is a very qualified heir to the wealthy family, even stronger than himself, especially in terms of his inner strength. He trusts that Fu Cheng’an will do a great job running the company if it is handed over to him.

Fu Cheng’an washed his face and pinched his nose bridge. Even for him, this was not considered emotional turmoil, but it was already affecting him. What about Ruan Xia?

If Ruan Xia knew Fu Cheng’an’s thoughts at this moment, she would definitely applaud her decision and reaction again. Otherwise, she might get only Fu Cheng’an’s cold attitude, or even worse, not be able to win him over for a long time.

Ruan Xia slept for more than ten hours and didn’t get up until almost noon. She didn’t intend to stay up late, but she ended up playing until late at night and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so it was already early morning before she fell asleep.

Wearing her pajamas, Ruan Xia looked at Fu Cheng’an who appeared in the living room. She almost couldn’t control her expression, but fortunately, she managed to pull it together and even performed a one-second face change.

Ruan Xia was pleasantly surprised, “Hubby!”

She ran over to where Fu Cheng’an was standing. However, she suddenly remembered something. According to the script she had designed for herself, she shouldn’t be showing this kind of attitude when seeing Fu Cheng’an.

Ruan Xia secretly looked at Fu Cheng’an, then quickly lowered her head. She stared at her toes and didn’t say anything.

Fu Cheng’an said, “I didn’t think it through yesterday. I’m sorry. Do you want any gift?”

Although it wasn’t a “Baby, it’s all my fault”, it was enough to make Ruan Xia stunned.

According to Ruan Xia’s plan, she should probably show Aunt Sun that she is feeling down because of Fu Cheng’an’s response. Then Fu Cheng’an would compromise, and based on his personality, he would ask her how she wants to resolve the situation. Then Ruan Xia could suggest that she wants to work as his secretary at his company.

Working as Fu Cheng’an’s secretary would allow her to know what secretaries usually do and experience the job, and also act as a way for her to have more opportunities to interact with Fu Cheng’an.

Ruan Xia was glad that she had just washed her pajamas yesterday. It was a long-sleeved and long-pants set with a white color and cartoon design. Her hair was also quite smooth and shiny, even without any styling.

Ruan Xia whispered with more certainty after confirming that Fu Cheng’an was not joking, “Can it be any gift?”

Fu Cheng’an replied, “As long as it’s not too excessive, anything is okay.”

Ruan Xia : “I want to be your secretary.”

Fu Cheng’an : “?”

Ruan Xia had a legitimate reason, she recounted what Li teacher told her after the acting class, and promised, “I will not disturb your work.”

As she spoke, there was a hint of shyness that made anyone who saw her feel like she was doing this for the sake of Fu Cheng’an, and the rest was just a reasonable excuse for herself.

Fu Cheng’an : “Okay, you can follow Assistant Chen.”

Ruan Xia nodded eagerly, “Okay, I can also follow Assistant Li.”

When Fu Cheng’an left, he glanced at Ruan Xia. Her eyes were bright and happy, as if she wasn’t troubled by the previous incident, or was she overthinking it.

It seemed like she was really easy to coax.

He wondered what kind of scripts Ruan Xia had been acting in and what they were about.

Ruan Xia was going to be Fu Cheng’an’s secretary, but actually, she was going to follow Assistant Chen. She didn’t feel like she hadn’t achieved what she wanted, after all, the goal of this mission was to learn how to be a secretary, and then act in a play, and only after that would she try to win over Fu Cheng’an.

This was not originally part of Ruan Xia’s plan, so it could be said that seducing Fu Cheng’an by being his secretary was just a side benefit.

The secretary next to the no-CP male lead, even just a regular secretary who handles documents, might not be at Assistant Chen’s level, but still must be very capable.

Thinking this way, Ruan Xia suddenly felt that working with them, she might seem like a slacker.

At the very least, she had to look like a secretary in appearance.

Ruan Xia searched online for what female secretaries should wear and picked a well-matched outfit. She then went to the mall to buy the clothes.

A white shirt with a black fishtail skirt and paired with high heels looked really nice.

Ruan Xia looked at herself in the mirror, took selfies, and continued to look for suitable clothes for her to wear as Fu Cheng’an’s secretary. Every time she picked a set of clothes to buy, she took a selfie.

After leaving the mall, Ruan Xia got in the car and operated her phone for a long time before sending a message to Fu Cheng’an. She attached the selfies that she had just taken.

She had taken many selfies, which she had also edited. Although Ruan Xia’s figure was already good even without editing, her body proportions were very good with a slim waist and long legs.

[Ruan Xia：I’ve never been a secretary before, Hubby, do you think these outfits are okay?]

Inside Fu Cheng’an’s office, Zhou Yu looked at his friend and couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Who would have thought that Fu Cheng’an already had a “wife”? This was also a headache for him.

Zhou Yu: “Just cooperate with her for now. Although we don’t know how long it will take for her memory to recover, I think it should be soon, especially since she is currently exposed to the things she was involved in before, such as acting, classes, and work. Maybe when she gets the next script, her memory will be restored.”

Fu Cheng’an: “Troublesome.”

Zhou Yu : “Yeah, it’s quite troublesome, but she’s quite professional when she works. It’s just that you just came back from your business trip, otherwise it would have been easier for you to cooperate with her and just acknowledge her as your wife.”

Talking about this matter, Zhou Yu felt that the encounter between Fu Cheng’an and Ruan Xia was too coincidental.

On the day when Fu Cheng’an went to the filming location, his original schedule was not to go to the filming location, but due to some circumstances, he changed his schedule and went to the filming location, where he met Ruan Xia.

Fu Cheng’an looked at his phone.

Zhou Yu: “She sent you another message?”

If it were Zhou Yu himself, it wouldn’t be a big deal to cooperate. He understands Fu Cheng’an’s character, and to let him cooperate, this Ruan Xia is also quite capable.

He even wanted to see what message Ruan Xia had sent to Fu Cheng’a

. Zhou Yu craned his neck to take a look, but Fu Cheng’an gave him a faint glance, causing him to sit back down obediently.

Zhou Yu : “I totally understand you.”

Fu Cheng’an had no idea what female secretaries usually wore, but looking at the photos that Ruan Xia had sent, the visual impact was very strong. Even Fu Cheng’an couldn’t say that Ruan Xia was not good-looking in terms of appearance.

After a few meetings, the impression of Ruan Xia that Fu Cheng’an had in his mind was somewhat different from the one presented in the photos.

Fu Cheng’an’s voice was calm, “Getting married and falling in love is troublesome, even acting is very troublesome.”

He directly forwarded the first photo that Ruan Xia sent, a black fishtail skirt with a high heel, without commenting on the others.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, “Yeah, it’s very troublesome.”

[Ruan Xia : Hubby, do you think this set looks good too!]

[Ruan Xia : I think this outfit is the most, most, most, most beautiful.]

After looking at the photo that Fu Cheng’an had forwarded to her, Ruan Xia compared it to her other photos and noticed something: her waist looked the most slender in this one.

Does Fu Cheng’an like slender waists?

Or was he just casually responding?
