The Boss I Picked Up All Fell In Love With Me - Chapter 66

 

Chapter 066

Note: Apologies for the delay. I got sick T_T

Fu Shijun touched his forehead, made sure everything was fine, then buckled his seatbelt back. Looking at him with dark eyes, he said, "I don't want anything else, I want you."

Su Zui chuckled, "You sound so cheesy, Boss Fu."

As Fu Shijun concentrated on driving, he pretended not to hear Su Zui making fun of his cheesiness.

It seems that men are inherently good at learning.

The former timid Mr. Turtle had also learned to utter these cheesy lines because of the passage of time.

The car quickly stopped at Su Zui's place. After a brief farewell, Su Zui walked into the company.

Fu Shijun watched him for a moment before starting the car and joining traffic.

Su Zui's company had expanded recently, moving to a new office building very close to the Xie's, hence why they often commute to work together.

Su Zui rode the elevator to his floor. On the way, various executives greeted him warily.

Most of the time, Susu nodded in acknowledgment.

"Mr. Su, this is the financial report from City C’s subsidiary you requested ..."

Recently, an issue occurred with one of the Su subsidiaries, keeping Su Zui busy until noon. With no time to get distracted, lunchtime was fast approaching.

Suddenly, someone knocked at the office door.

Su Zui thought it was his assistant. Without lifting his head, he simply said, "Come in."

However, it turned out that the person who came in was indeed an assistant, but not Su Zui's assistant. It was Fu Shijun's personal assistant.

The assistant, holding a lunch box, said with a smile to Su Zui, "Mr. Su, this is lunch sent from home. He is too busy to come personally, so he sent me over.”

Su Zui was speechless.

As he got accustomed to the cheesy lines, he also got used to the nurturing habits of Boss Fu.

What exactly was happening?

Su Zui's mind momentarily stalled.

Despite these events just happening recently, they felt like they had happened a century ago and his memories of them were a bit blurry.

Fortunately, these memories quickly became clear.

Didn't he just have a stomachache due to drinking too much a few days ago?

Fu Shijun went crazy after that. Not only did he strictly follow a stomach-nurturing meal plan for breakfast and lunch, he was hands-on with preparing the lunch.

In recent days, Su Zui's taste buds had been overwhelmed by the bland food.

With a headache, Su Zui said, "Just leave it there, I'll eat in a while." He still had a few documents left to review.

The assistant smiled, with a somewhat careful tone, "...Boss Fu said, please make sure to eat on time."

Su Zui: "..."

Okay, so he sent someone specifically to keep an eye on him.

Su Zui had no choice but to put down the documents in his hand and obediently finished his lunch.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the used lunch box, bid farewell to Su Zui and left, "Goodbye, Mr. Su."

Su Zui: "...Goodbye." In actuality, he didn't look forward to the next meeting.

Just after the assistant left, Fu Shijun's call came in.

Su Zui picked up the phone, with his eyes closed recited his prepared response, "Okay, I ate, I ate, I understand, I'll take a nap before I continue working..."

The assistant, carrying the empty lunch box, attracted curious glances from the office staff.

Some were accustomed to this scene, looked once and then moved their gaze away, while others could not hide the curiosity in their eyes.

A newly joined staff member curiously asked, "Is that Mr. Su's assistant?"

A veteran employee glanced sideways and replied, "No, that's from the Fu's."

Clerk: ???

The veteran employee added a sentence, "You know, the Fu corporation next to our company."

The clerk couldn't help but feel baffled, "Why is the Fu's assistant delivering lunch to Mr. Su? It's a lunch box that he's holding, right?"

The veteran employee knocked on the documents in his hand and reminded, "Don't ask so many questions and don't think too much. Just focus on your work, and you'll naturally understand in the future."

This is already the seventh year that Su Zui and Fu Shijun have been together, and most of the things have settled down.

Although they hadn't been openly grandiose, they hadn't deliberately concealed it either. The employees who have been in the company for a longer time knew that their boss and the fierce chairman of the Fu's corporation next door are a couple.

However, there are still some new employees who don't know this.

Unlike the naturally cold-faced Fu Shijun, Su Zui's appearance is very friendly, but he is no more lenient than Fu Shijun when it comes to work.

After experiencing several thunderous methods, the people below now know how strict he can be and no longer dare to do a perfunctory job.

The current climate at Su's corporation is good, and few people dare to openly gossip about it.

Most of the time, close-knit colleagues would gossip in private.

As for the new recruits?

Sorry, they don't have that much leisure time to risk doing explanations for others.

________________________

They naturally had to work overtime again until late in the evening. Luckily, Fu Corporation was also busy these days, so the two were able to align their schedules.

By the time Fu Shijun drove him home, it was already 11 o'clock at night.

After taking a shower, Su Zui waited in bed for Fu Shijun to finish his bath.

Looking at the night view outside the window, for some reason, he always felt somewhat restless and irritated.

He always felt... as if something was missing.

But upon closer inspection, he couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.

Just as he was spacing out, the man's cold, damp breath surrounded him from behind.

He turned his head to naturally receive the man's kiss on his cheek, "Hmm... Let's go to sleep early tonight."

Both of them were full of energy, and if he went along with Fu Shijun, they could occupy themselves for three to four hours without sleeping.

But that wouldn't work today because there was still a lot of work to do tomorrow.

The man didn't say anything, just quietly touching him with his lips.

The vague night view outside the window swept through Su Zui's peripheral vision, and that sense of uneasiness in his heart reappeared.

Just as the man was loosening the robe on his chest, a small part of his chest suddenly started to feel hot. The heat startled Su Zui into a sharp breath as a clear, refreshing sensation spread from the hot area.

Su Zui's consciousness gradually cleared.

"System, are you there?"

There's no response after waiting a long time.

He knew what was wrong... it was the system!

He doesn't speak to the system often, but at least he could feel the system's presence in his mind.

For the entire day, he didn't think about the existence of the system at all!

His mind was empty, there were no traces of any system.

Spotting the first anomaly, the second and third quickly followed...

Su Zui was not a weak-willed person. He quickly recognized that he had been fooled by a formation and mistakenly believed he was still in the first world.

He raised his hand to block the man's hand that was reaching into his clothes, his face was like frost.

He had been careless.

He didn't expect that this world's illusion could reflect the people from the previous world.

It's probably because he himself had skeletons in his closet.

He is not a person who can let things go easily, so that's why he hesitated and did not dare to step forward.

He mocked Fu Shijun for being a coward, but he himself wasn't doing much better.

But people always need to keep moving forward, just as a river never flows back.

This is the path he chose, he has to go on, no turning back.

"What's wrong?" The man's deep voice sounded by his ear.

Su Zui didn't say a word, tightly shutting his eyes, his hand thrusting out, pouring out a majestic spiritual power.

He heard breaking sound in the darkness, the warmth he felt a second ago in his hand, disappeared the next second.

That familiar cold air also disappeared clean instantly.

________________________

In the illusion, Su Zui fell to the ground, the white phoenix spiritual jade hanging on his neck burst forth with a brilliant light.

A figure appeared next to Su Zui, coldly half-kneeling and holding him in his arms.

The Xu family's ancient formation is hard, but the Phoenix had seen Su Zui's true power and didn't really think he would be troubled by this kind of formation.

However, just now, he noticed that Su Zui had been caught in the illusion for too long, if this continues, he might be seriously injured!

Ignoring the rule that anyone other than the selected person cannot enter the formation, he directly urged his power, appeared in the formation, and poured his spiritual power into Su Zui's body through the Phoenix spiritual jade as a medium.

Su Zui grunted, a trace of bruised blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his consciousness gradually returned.

Although he finally struggled out of the illusion, he was still influenced due to his unstable Taoist heart and suffered some internal injuries.

He hasn't opened his eyes yet, but he smelled a familiar cold scent in his nose.

Although it was slightly different in detail, but--

It was too similar.

So similar that when Su Zui first smelled it, he even unconsciously had some unrealistic illusions.

His consciousness was still chaotic, and he almost instinctively muttered, "…Fu… Shijun."

The last two words came out as a breathy sound, really vague, but it was not hard to hear it was a man's name.

Phoenix, who smuggled for love: ???

Who is this Fu something again?!

How many men does he not know about living in Su Zui's heart?!
