Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 970 Death Sentence

"Well, yes, is there anything wrong?" Xu Xiaoxiao responded on the other end of the phone, with a hint of doubt and confusion in her voice.

"No, nothing happened. I wish you happiness." Zheng Guolin's voice sounded a little embarrassed and lost, and then the phone was hung up.

Xu Xiaoxiao on the other end of the phone was confused. She looked at the phone that had been hung up and muttered to herself: "Weiwei, what does this person mean?"

She had no idea why Zheng Guolin made this call, and she didn't understand why he said he was already married.

Weiwei, who was standing next to her, heard her mumbling and explained with a smile, "I guess he wanted to pursue you, and then he heard from someone that you were married, so he called to test the waters!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was even more speechless when she heard this. She never expected that she would become the topic of conversation among others after dinner, and she never expected that someone would try to pursue her because of a misunderstanding. She only helped him out of sympathy.

She shook her head, not wanting to pay attention to these boring things, and lowered her head to continue calculating the accounts.

For her, life is life, without too much explanation and speculation.

She just hopes to live her life in peace without these unnecessary disturbances.

And those rumors about whether she is married are just nonsense to her and she doesn't need to care about them at all. She just wants to live a quiet life now, but can she really live a quiet life?

"How is it? Are you satisfied? Now!" Fu Yanchen looked at Zheng Guolin, who had a lost face, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

His expression was still stern, but compared to his previous anger, he seemed calmer and more rational at this moment. After all, he used to be an impulsive person, but after going through so much, he learned to better control his emotions.

In the past, he would have thrown this into Africa to dig coal.

Hearing this, Zheng Guolin's face turned even paler. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I, I... I didn't know she was your wife. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He wanted to say something to explain his behavior, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know where to start.

He knew that he had done something wrong, and it was extremely wrong. He even dared to have feelings for their boss's wife. This time he was finished. He probably wouldn't be able to keep his job. Who would keep an employee who was paying attention to his own wife?

Fu Yanchen looked at him, there was not much anger in his eyes, only a hint of emotion.

He sighed and said, "Mr. Zheng, I hope you understand that everyone has their own life and choices. You also have the right to like others, but don't do things that destroy others. This matter ends here. I will not pursue your previous responsibilities. Xiaoxiao is my wife, and the relationship between us is not something you can understand. I hope you can respect her choice and respect our marriage. Don't bother her anymore. Do you understand? Delete the contact information!"

Zheng Guolin nodded repeatedly, he knew he could no longer make any excuses.

He could only accept this fact silently and try hard to forget the girl who once made his heart beat.

"I will, Mr. Fu. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

Zheng Guolin's voice was almost silent. He didn't dare to look up at Fu Yanchen's eyes, for fear of being met with his cold gaze again.

Fu Yanchen nodded, "Go out! Go find Su Rou, he will explain to you."

Zheng Guolin hesitated for a moment, turned and left, leaving Fu Yanchen alone in the office.

"Xiaoxiao, you are really amazing. You found me a love rival without me noticing." Fu Yanchen sat at his desk, looking at the empty room, with a helpless smile on his face. There was a bit of teasing in his words, but more of it was pampering and helplessness towards Xu Xiaoxiao.

He shook his head gently, and Xu Xiaoxiao's smiling face appeared in his mind.

He never doubted Xu Xiaoxiao. This girl had been very charming since she was a child. She not only attracted him, but also young people like Zheng Guolin.

But it was this charm that made him cherish and love her even more.

"However," Fu Yanchen changed the subject, his eyes becoming firm, "No matter how many rivals I have, I will not give up on you. You are mine, and no one can take you away."

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling city outside, his heart full of confidence and determination.

"Thank you. Love needs to go through wind and rain to become stronger, and I am willing to face every challenge in the future with you. Smile and wait for me. I will prove to you that I am the best person for you."

Fu Yanchen made a silent promise in his heart, then turned back to his desk and continued to devote himself to his busy work.

"Sister Su Rou." Zheng Guolin knocked lightly on the door frame, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

"Well! Come in! I have something to tell you!"

Su Rou lowered her head, her fingers moving across the documents on the table, as if every page carried a heavy decision.

Zheng Guolin pushed open the door and walked in with heavy steps, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"I know, it's about firing me. Sister Su Rou, can you please talk to Mr. Fu and ask him not to fire me? I will never bother Xiao Xiao again, but I really can't lose this job. I... I have a sick mother and a paralyzed sister. If I lose this job, what will they do?"

Zheng Guolin's voice was low and earnest, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.

Su Rou's fingers paused on the information. She raised her head, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

"But you are after the boss's wife. Don't you think it wouldn't be an eyesore for the boss to see you?" There was a hint of helplessness and sigh in her tone.

Zheng Guolin's face became even paler, and he clenched his hands together, as if trying to find a spark of hope.

"I, I didn't know she was the boss's wife before. She never said she was married."

His eyes were full of confusion and regret, as if he was looking for a reasonable explanation for his ignorant past.

Su Rou secretly sighed in her heart. How could she not know? Xiaoxiao, that girl, was eager to cut off her relationship with her boss, so how could she easily reveal her identity?

She looked at Zheng Guolin's helpless appearance and couldn't help feeling sympathy in her heart.

However, things are unpredictable, and some things, once they are wrong, can never be undone.

"Sister Su Rou, you are the boss's special assistant. You should have a special place in his heart. He may not take my words seriously, but he should listen to you."

There was a hint of pleading in Zheng Guolin's voice, and his eyes were fixed on Su Rou, as if seeking the last glimmer of hope.

Su Rou felt a complex emotion surge in her heart when she heard this. She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. If there was anyone who had a position in their boss's heart, it would be no one else except Xu Xiaoxiao. However, if Xu Xiaoxiao came forward in this matter, Zheng Guolin would probably really go to Africa.

"Guolin, you're wrong. Although I may be able to give him some advice on work, the boss's decision will not be easily changed on matters like this. Especially when it comes to his personal feelings and the company's rules, he has to deal with it the way he says."

Zheng Guolin's face turned even paler, his hands were clenched together, and there was a slight sound between his knuckles.

"Sister Su Rou, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment and was overwhelmed by my emotions. I don't know Xiaoxiao's true identity. You can't sentence me to death right away. I... I really can't lose this job, otherwise what will happen to my family?"

There was a sobbing tone in his voice and his eyes were slightly red. Su Rou looked at him and felt a surge of sympathy in her heart. She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, but her heart was in turmoil.

"Guolin, some things, once they are wrong, can never be reversed. I understand your predicament, but I can't do anything about it. The boss's decision is not something I can influence."

Zheng Guolin's body trembled slightly when he heard this. He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Sister Su Rou, I understand. I won't ask you to do anything for me anymore. But I hope you can tell me what I should do to make up for my mistake and make the boss reconsider my stay."

Su Rou looked at him, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart. She shook her head gently, then turned around, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Guolin, some things can't be made up for. You can only accept the reality and learn from it. As for whether you stay or go, I will try my best to explain your situation to the boss, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

Although her voice was cold, it contained a hint of imperceptible concern and helplessness.

Hearing this, the light in Zheng Guolin's eyes gradually dimmed. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

The sound of the wind outside the window seemed to become particularly harsh at this moment, as if mocking his incompetence and helplessness.

"Sister Su Rou, I understand." He finally spoke, his voice hoarse and heavy, "I won't ask for anything more, I just hope you can give me a fair evaluation. No matter what the result is, I will accept it."

Su Rou looked at him, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

She walked over to Zheng Guolin, patted his shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Guolin, life always has ups and downs. Although this matter is serious, it is not without hope. The key is to see how you perform in the future and whether you can learn from this mistake. Don't confess to a girl you just met in the future."

Zheng Guolin raised his head, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He held Su Rou's hand tightly and said firmly: "Sister Su Rou, thank you. I understand what you mean. I will try my best to correct my mistakes and prove my worth with practical actions. No matter what the result is, I will cherish this lesson."

Su Rou looked at him, feeling relieved. She knew that although this young man had made a mistake, he could still be saved. As long as he could learn from this mistake and start a new life, his future would still be full of hope.

"Okay, go ahead. You are still a member of the company and you need to work hard until the resignation letter comes."

Su Rou patted the back of his hand gently. "As for Mr. Fu, I will try my best to communicate with him and plead for you, but you must also be mentally prepared. No matter what the result is, you must face it bravely."

Zheng Guolin nodded, stood up, bowed deeply to Su Rou, then turned and left the office and went to his work station.
