Chapter 143: Coax Yourself In Before You Come In
"Okay." The village chief is also a quick-witted man.
"You just said you were promoting a movie? Are you the star of that movie? What kind of banquet?"
Fu Xiuyan nodded in acknowledgement.
The village chief slapped his thigh and said, "My daughter is probably going to be mad at me. I went to the city to see her and suddenly said I had to come back, but she insisted on asking for leave to take me. I refused because I couldn't let her delay her work, right? So I kept it a secret from her and came back on my own. Now what! I made her miss out on seeing her idol! Oh! What should I do?"
Xia Yang waved at Le An calmly. Le An stepped forward, took out a photo from somewhere, and put it in Xia Yang's outstretched hand.
"This is for you. Give this to your daughter. I think she'll be happy."
The village chief took it and saw that it was a photo of Fu Xiuyan, with a signature in a flamboyant style that he couldn't understand.
Fu Xiuyan gave Xia Yang a meaningful look. Then he asked Xiao Wang for a pen, asked the village chief for his daughter's name, and added a few words on the photo.
It wasn't until they got back to the car that Fu Xiuyan looked at Xia Yang with a smug smile on his face and said, "Oh, I don't know who it is. This morning, he pretended to complain about me having too many vacations and spending too much time with him. In private, he even carried my photo with him. He's so hypocritical. He can't leave me for a moment. If you can't see me for a while, you miss me like a tide, right? You need to carry a photo with you so you can see me all the time."
Xia Yang ignored his words, raised her hand and slapped his crossed legs away, and said unhappily, "Go! Move to the side, don't crush my instrument."
Xia Yang moved the instrument closer to him. Fu Xiuyan realized belatedly that he was so smug that the instrument was placed right between him and Xia Yang!
Didn't he put it on the table by the entrance as soon as he got in the car? When did he get here? And he even took his place next to Xia Xia.
"Xia Xia, let's put it on the table. This space is small. It will be a bit crowded if it is placed on the chair." Fu Xiuyan said as he was about to get the instrument.
Xia Yang reached out and slapped Fu Xiuyan on the back of his hand. He didn't even touch the cloth wrapped around the instrument before he was hit by Xia Yang.
Fu Xiuyan looked at Xia Yang in disbelief.
Xia Yang didn't even look at him, but just carefully stroked the instrument. What he said made Fu Xiuyan even more difficult to accept.
"If you think it's too crowded, go sit across from me. The tabletop is so hard, and the road is bumpy. What if you put it on the table and it gets bumped?"
Fu Xiuyan was heartbroken. "You're worried about it, but aren't you worried about me sitting alone and getting bumped while walking? Xia Xia, how can you be so fickle? You weren't like this this morning, you even nestled in my arms and called me dear husband. You even carried my photo with you. You obviously couldn't leave me for a moment, so how could you bear to send me across the street? This can't be what you really said, right?"
Fu Xiuyan's miserable accusation.
Xia Yang was quite troubled. As he and Fu Xiuyan spent more time together and their relationship grew closer, his possessiveness towards Xia Yang grew stronger. Whenever he showed a little indifference towards Fu Xiuyan, he would act pitiful and act like a spoiled child regardless of the situation.
Xia Yang felt embarrassed for him and angrily said, "Are you ashamed? Le An and Xiao Wang are watching us. Do you still want to maintain your dignity as a boss? Can't you be more serious?"
Fu Xiuyan snorted, "Don't worry about them. How can they understand that I have a wife who cares about me?"
Le An, who had been frustrated all morning, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He touched his body a few times and suddenly a thick stack of photos appeared in his hand.
Xiao Wang was very surprised at where Le An had hidden the photo. While driving, he kept glancing at Le An out of the corner of his eye. He didn't have any pockets on his body.
Le An shook the photos in his hand and said sarcastically, "I still have a bunch of your autographed photos here. Fu Xiuyan, you are so self-indulgent and brainwashing yourself. Young Master Xia asked me to carry your autographed photos with me just to make it easier to get things done. When encountering something like today, one of your photos can solve the problem. It's so convenient. But you have so many fans that it comes in handy almost every time."
Fu Xiuyan couldn't believe it and turned around to ask Xia Yang for confirmation, but he happened to meet Xia Yang's slightly embarrassed look. What else didn't he understand?
Fu Xiuyan's face was full of hurt: "Baby..."
Xia Yang's guilty conscience only lasted for a moment, and it was caused by Fu Xiuyan's "self-indulgent" remarks.
"Those autographed photos of yours were originally intended for your fans. I shared this work with you, but instead of thanking me, you're unhappy? If you're not happy, I won't take yours next time. Stop acting like a spoiled child!" Xia Yang glanced at him and said.
Xiao Wang sighed inwardly: This is amazing! This young master, even if he is wrong, can argue with confidence. In just a few words, the one in the wrong becomes his master. No wonder his master serves the young master so carefully. No wonder his master always calls him "little ancestor", this is the real ancestor!
Fu Xiuyan was indeed being manipulated: "You don't want to take mine anymore? Who else do you want to take? If you don't do such a hard job for me, who else do you want to do it for? I don't care, you can only use mine! We are family, baby, you can't work for outsiders."
Xiao Wang: It’s too shameful to watch!
It's no wonder Fu Xiuyan was so excited. He had already overreacted to Xia Yang's sentence structure. He was most afraid of drinking his own things. In Xia Yang's eyes, he was a person who could be replaced at any time.
Xia Yang rolled her eyes. "Whose? Of course it's Teacher Yu's. I used to use hers. But recently I found that your fan base is even wider than hers, so I switched to yours. I asked Brother Luo about this beforehand, and he gave it to me. I didn't use your photos without your consent."
Le An added excitedly, "Brother Luo brought all the spare parts in the studio to our young master. He was afraid that they wouldn't be enough for him, so he asked you to sign some more some other day and he would deliver them personally."
When Fu Xiuyan heard that Xia Yang had previously used her mother-in-law's and now had her own, he wondered if he was on the same level as her mother-in-law. He was about to get cocky when he heard Le An's words, "Why didn't Xia Xia come to me? I didn't give you what you wanted, and you still came to him? He's just good at using my things to curry favor with you!"
Xia Yang didn't sleep much the night before, got up very early in the morning, and was now swaying in the car, which made him sleepy again. He really didn't have the energy to chat with the awkward Fu Xiuyan.
Yawning, he said to Fu Xiuyan, "I'm going to take a nap. Come in after you've calmed yourself down. If you can't calm yourself down, just sit here and take care of my instrument."
After saying that, he turned around and went inside to lie down.
Le An burst out laughing, something he rarely did. This actually surprised Xiao Wang, who was driving.
Fu Xiuyan glared at Le An's back, then turned around and went inside to look for Xia Yang.
Le An was in high spirits when he saw Fu Xiuyan get humiliated. He sat in the passenger seat and hummed a song.
Xiao Wang listened to the tune he was humming and asked him, "What song are you humming?"
"Jun song."
"Oh." No wonder the melody sounded strange to him.
Xiao Wang asked the question he had been curious about for a while: "But why aren't you afraid of Mr. Fu? You dare to call him by his name and shout at him like that. Didn't you say you couldn't beat him?"
