After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 212, Madam, you don’t want to lose this cooperation, do you?

Chapter 212: Chapter 212, Madam, you don’t want to lose this cooperation, do you?

Shen Fanyun slung an arm around Su Xiyang’s shoulders and led her out of the hotel.

Yuan Chong stood there, stunned. He remained motionless for a long time, unable to process what had just happened. That little lady actually had a temper. Did she not know he was a senior executive at Hong Hai Capital? How many people had flocked to the prestigious name of Hong Hai Capital in the past? And now, after Hong Hai Capital extended an olive branch to Su Xiyang, the woman had the audacity to act high and mighty with him. She was utterly clueless about her own standing.

"Heh, I refuse to believe I can’t handle you," Yuan Chong sneered, a faint smile on his lips as he turned and left.

Su Xiyang was sullen the entire way back. This was a major capital firm. If she lost this partnership because of poor hospitality or disrespect, she worried it would take her years to recover. After splitting from the Su Family, she had dedicated herself to developing her career independently, hoping to build something of her own. Now, an opportunity was right in front of her, but it had all gone wrong.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she turned to Shen Fanyun. "Why did you pull me away? If I had just explained things to President Yuan... He seems like a reasonable person. I’m sure he would have understood."

"He was clearly just looking for trouble," Shen Fanyun said. "What good would an explanation do? Can’t you see he was just nitpicking?"

Only then did Su Xiyang, thinking back on Yuan Chong’s strange attitude, begin to understand what Shen Fanyun meant. But why would Yuan Chong nitpick? He had come to discuss a partnership. Wasn’t that supposed to be the top priority?

"Where are we going now?" Su Xiyang asked, shaking her head. She’d had a little to drink tonight and was feeling a bit dizzy.

"Cloud Nine."

Su Xiyang had hoped that after the contract negotiations were over, she and Shen Fanyun could go for a stroll through the city center. She was in the mood to do some shopping. Unfortunately, the talks had gone so poorly that she was no longer in the mood. Better to just go home, take a shower, and sleep.

"I wonder when President Yuan will want to restart the negotiations," Su Xiyang mumbled, still preoccupied with the deal.

During their earlier discussions, Hong Hai Capital’s terms had been far too harsh. She had astutely sensed that any imbalance in capital operations could easily lead to her losing control of the company to Hong Hai. This company was her blood, sweat, and tears. Ever since separating from the Su Family, she had vowed to achieve something great and silence those who looked down on her. No matter what, control had to remain in her hands! On a matter of principle like this, she couldn’t retreat a single step!

"You actually saw through that?" Shen Fanyun was surprised. Su Xiyang truly had a talent for business. Plenty of so-called seasoned veterans had been tripped up by contract clauses. For Su Xiyang to spot the potential danger on her first read-through showed she had some shockingly sharp instincts.

"Are you kidding? I majored in law and minored in finance in college. Did you really think I just sit around doing nothing?" Su Xiyang muttered, a small bloom of pride on her face.

Shen Fanyun laughed heartily. He had found himself a highly educated woman who knew her law.

"Sigh, if that contract had been signed, my company would be set for explosive growth," Su Xiyang added wistfully.

"Why go through all this trouble?" Shen Fanyun said with a helpless sigh. "Just say the word, and I’ll give you more funding."

"I told you, I want to do this on my own!" Su Xiyang declared, crossing her arms and puffing out her cheeks.

"Alright, alright." Shen Fanyun didn’t press the issue. Everyone had their own aspirations. Su Xiyang had her ambitions, and the best he could do was support them. As for anyone trying to sabotage her behind the scenes, well, that was a different matter entirely.

Upon reaching their hotel room, Su Xiyang had just opened the door when Shen Fanyun, unable to wait any longer, wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"What are you doing?" Su Xiyang asked, playing dumb. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She had drunk a little tonight, and her body felt warm. Maybe she was feeling it too? Now, with Shen Fanyun’s arms around her, goosebumps rose on her skin as a current of desire began to stir deep inside her.

"Go... go take a shower," Su Xiyang said, turning to hug Shen Fanyun and planting a kiss on his forehead.

"Okay," he said, sweeping her up into his arms.

"Hey!" Su Xiyang exclaimed in surprise. "I meant for you to shower first, then me!"

"That’s such a waste of time. Let’s go together."

Su Xiyang was speechless.

RIP!

With a flick of his index finger, her black stockings tore. He then gently slid them down. They came off like shedding bark from a tree, revealing her smooth, pale thighs and setting Shen Fanyun’s blood on fire.

"You... you bastard."

"I just bought these, and you ripped them again."

Su Xiyang was exasperated. She used to love wearing stockings—before she met Shen Fanyun. Now, she barely dared to wear them, since he was always tearing them to shreds. She had chosen a new pair today specifically for the business dinner, but sure enough, he’d ripped them again. Does he have some kind of special fetish?

"Out with the old, in with the new. I’ll buy you more later." Shen Fanyun tilted her chin up and gently nibbled on her lips, which were as soft and moist as ever.

The shower sprinkled water down on them. In no time, the stream soaked through the white blouse she hadn’t yet taken off, causing the fabric to cling to two firm, eye-catching peaks. Shen Fanyun reached a hand under the wet shirt and squeezed.

Su Xiyang let out a muffled groan, her own slender hands cooperating, actively seeking something of his.

This girl is getting more and more cooperative!

Gasping, Su Xiyang’s beautiful eyes flew open before she bit down on Shen Fanyun. This brute... he’s like an ox!

Exasperatedly, Su Xiyang rapped him on the head. "What are you yelling about?"

"Alright, alright," he said. "Let’s finish our shower and get to bed."

A short while later, Shen Fanyun and Su Xiyang emerged from the bathroom wrapped in bathrobes.

He was lucky that cow Li Huanhuan wasn’t around tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten another chance to be alone with Su Xiyang.

Su Xiyang knew what he was thinking. "You’re so dramatic," she scoffed, leaning over to give him a playful bite.

"Much better," Shen Fanyun said, flopping down flat on the bed.

Su Xiyang sat beside him and picked up her phone, only to see it had been pinging nonstop with a string of new messages.

Who could be messaging her in such a hurry this late at night? When she looked closer and saw the sender’s name, she froze.

Yuan Chong?

Could it be... he wants to resume negotiations tomorrow? We don’t have to pause after all? At the thought, Su Xiyang’s eyes lit up, her mood instantly improving.

"So happy all of a sudden?" Shen Fanyun asked curiously.

Su Xiyang nodded, explaining eagerly, "President Yuan contacted me himself. Maybe the negotiations are back on for tomorrow! Hehe."

"Stop touching me... I’m busy. Hands off! Don’t just grope around!"

Su Xiyang began to read the messages seriously, but as she read, her brow furrowed into a tight line, and her expression grew increasingly grave.

Shen Fanyun had already guessed Su Xiyang was in for a major disappointment. After all, Yuan Chong wasn’t genuinely interested in a partnership. His real goal was to destroy her company.

"Slimy, disgusting, psycho... scumbag!" Su Xiyang was so enraged she threw her phone aside and ground her teeth.
