After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 248: When did you slip your hand in?!

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: When did you slip your hand in?!

Hearing Wang Tuohai’s voice, Xu Fang froze on the spot. He was flying into a rage on the other end of the line, sounding as if he wanted to slaughter her for her insane actions. In all her years at the company, she had never seen Wang Tuohai so furious. Fear made her tremble uncontrollably. If I were facing him in person, he’d probably slap my face raw!

Xu Fang drew a sharp, shaky breath, her wide eyes staring into space for a long moment.

She had thought this was the perfect opportunity. Fortune favors the bold, after all. By taking an unconventional risk, she could swiftly fill the void Lu Feiyan left as she fell from grace. Then, hitting the big time would no longer be a fool’s dream.

Who could have known that she had instead pushed herself into a fiery pit from which there was no escape? This...

"Big Boss, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I wasn’t thinking clearly."

"I—I was only trying to mediate and give some advice with Lu Feiyan’s best interests at heart. I never, ever meant to target Sister Feiyan."

Forcing herself to grip the phone, Xu Fang carefully explained herself to Wang Tuohai, word by word.

"Mediate my ass! Is this any of your business? You’re a worthless nobody. What gives you the right to step in and mediate?

"I’m telling you, I’m freezing your contract. Permanently. Get ready to be shelved for the rest of your life.

"You brainless mutt, what the hell are you meddling in? Do you think you’re some big shot? That your words carry weight? Calling it ’for Feiyan’s good’... don’t you have a clue whether it’s actually good for her or not?"

Wang Tuohai’s relentless tirade made it clear just how livid he was. It was a critical moment, and everyone was already on edge. The last thing he needed was an artist from his own company not only stirring up trouble but eagerly fanning the flames.

Isn’t this just like a backstabbing rat?

What did she mean by having Lu Feiyan "admit" it?

Admit what?

The plagiarism accusation was a baseless rumor. The public was being misled and deceived. Shouldn’t an artist at his own company know better? What was there to admit, and to whom?

"When I have time, I’ll deal with you properly. Now get back to your post and think about what you’ve done," Wang Tuohai said before hanging up with a sharp, angry click.

Xu Fang was left speechless.

"Feiyan, Sister Feiyan, I truly had your best interests at heart from the beginning. I never meant to cause you trouble, frame you, or plot against you."

"Maybe... maybe my choice of words was poor and careless, which caused this misunderstanding, but..."

"I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry. I know I was wrong. Please, forgive me."

Xu Fang knew the only person who could save her now was Lu Feiyan. She was hoping Lu Feiyan could step in and explain things to their Big Boss, Wang Tuohai. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Get lost," Shen Fanyun enunciated, his voice sharp and clear as he spat the words at Xu Fang.

Tears streamed down Xu Fang’s face as she kowtowed heavily. "I know I was wrong, I really do. Please, please give me another chance."

"I have a seriously ill mother at home, a brother in school, a broken family... I really can’t lose this job."

"If my contract is frozen, my life is over. My family will be destroyed! Feiyan, please, have mercy. Can you help me?"

Shen Fanyun was bewildered. Why does that spiel sound so familiar? A gambling father, a critically ill mother, a brother in school, and her own shattered life!

Shen Fanyun remembered—it was the classic sob story from the foot massage parlors. Countless innocent men had been duped by those lines, their heads spinning from the tales of woe. In the end, it would invariably lead to them paying for "comfort" and "extra time."

"Get out of here. Now," Shen Fanyun said, feeling his skin crawl.

Xu Fang wanted to argue further, but one look at Shen Fanyun’s sword-like gaze frightened her into silence. She turned and left reluctantly.

"Why did you come?"

After Xu Fang was gone, Lu Feiyan rested her head on her knees. She remained silent for a long time. Though her voice was full of excitement and relief, she feigned an air of nonchalance, pretending not to care at all and even showing a slight disdain for Shen Fanyun.

Shen Fanyun said, "I heard you were being bullied, so I came right away to check on you."

"Are you worried about me?" Lu Feiyan lifted her head, her brilliant eyes fixed on Shen Fanyun.

Shen Fanyun smiled. "Shouldn’t I be?"

Lu Feiyan let out a soft laugh and burrowed her head against his chest, resting between his knees, her tone filled with self-reproach. "I’m sorry for making you worry again."

"Don’t be silly," Shen Fanyun said, patting her on the forehead.

"Every beginning is difficult. It’s only natural that your sudden fame would attract malicious attention. This means you’ve threatened the standing of certain people in the industry. That’s why they want to strike hard and use underhanded tactics to ruin your career."

"Looking at it from another angle, this just shows that you’re exceptionally talented and have enormous potential for growth. Mediocre people aren’t the ones who get targeted. No one pays attention to them."

Lu Feiyan’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. You can look at it that way?

She had to admit, Shen Fanyun was an expert at consoling people. I thought I’d caused him trouble again, but thinking about it now, maybe it’s not so bad after all? Besides, Shen Fanyun seems more than happy to take care of me, to protect me.

"Thank you," Lu Feiyan murmured, rubbing her head against his chest.

For a moment, Shen Fanyun’s mind raced.

His idle right hand snaked under her leather jacket, slipped past her shirt, squeezed past her intimate apparel, and then gently cupped her.

Realizing what was happening, Lu Feiyan’s whole body went rigid. "You... When did your hand get in there?"

"Just now," Shen Fanyun replied without batting an eye.

Lu Feiyan was at a loss for words.

"You scoundrel, you, you..." Lu Feiyan was both furious and flustered. But Shen Fanyun grew bolder, his fingers pinching and flicking, his hand squeezing and kneading.

After this was repeated several times, every pore on Lu Feiyan’s body seemed to tingle as a strange warmth flooded her nerves.

Is she getting turned on?

"Ugh, you’re so infuriating! You scoundrel, you’re really, really infuriating!" Lu Feiyan complained, playfully baring her teeth. One moment he was consoling her with such sincerity, and the next, his hands were all over her.

Shen Fanyun said, "It’s because you’re so tempting."

He leaned in, his left hand starting to undo the buttons of her shirt one by one. Today, Lu Feiyan was wearing a red sports bra underneath.

He had to admit, Lu Feiyan was truly gifted. A single hand wasn’t enough to hold one of them.

"How about a kiss?" Shen Fanyun suggested.

Lu Feiyan wrinkled her cute nose, debating whether to indulge him.

Suddenly, Shen Fanyun had her stand up. He was sitting on the steps, and now she was standing before him.

He gently rested his head against her lower abdomen, muttering, "Did I get the positions wrong? Shouldn’t I be standing and you sitting?"

Lu Feiyan was speechless.

"No!" An odd image flashed through Lu Feiyan’s mind. She would never "eat" that!

"Forget it! I won’t do what you want," Lu Feiyan said, shaking her head, determined to resist to the death.
