Chapter 1769 First Love
Under Qiao Yu's clear gaze, Shen Xi recalled the indescribable love and hate between the domineering CEO and his little wife...
Okay, that was definitely perverted, she retracted what she had just said.
She couldn't help but mutter, "He's so perverted, and you still love him."
Qiao Yu's pretty face flushed red: "He only does this because he loves me. If he didn't love me, he wouldn't even glance at me."
Huh~~
In this world, it's true that every pot has its lid. Xi Chen and Qiao Yu are a perfect match, the kind that no one can separate.
"Have you forgotten that time he took another woman to Sunshine Island for vacation?"
Qiao Yu pouted angrily: "That was a woman he deliberately found to annoy me."
"Oh, so you really did find a woman, right?"
"You!" Qiao Yu's eyes reddened with anger.
Shen Xi laughed and quickly reassured her, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding."
No wonder Xi Chen often makes his wife angry and then has to coax her. Before, Shen Xi thought the couple was just bored and making trouble for no reason. But now, seeing Qiao Yu's adorable, pouty face, Xi Chen probably thinks she's just like those domineering CEOs online—interesting, unique, and lovable, and he wants to see her again and again…
Huh~~
Shen Xi shivered again. Sure enough, she and Chen Chuan were just an ordinary, down-to-earth couple, incapable of playing out this kind of dramatic, heart-wrenching love story.
Qiao Yu didn't know what Shen Xi's words had gotten into him, but he looked at her and asked, "Xiao Xi, do you still remember your first love?"
"Of course I remember! How could I not remember? It's always right in front of me."
"Isn't Chen Chuan jealous?"
"If I'm not jealous, why would I be?"
Oh? Qiao Yu was a little surprised: "With his personality, he's actually so... generous?"
Who would be jealous of themselves?
Shen Xi smiled but didn't explain. Everyone assumed that with her looks, Shen Xi must have dated seven or eight ex-boyfriends, just as she had previously assumed that Chen Chuan was a womanizer.
In the end, it all came down to judging people by their appearance.
Her husband, Chen Chuan, was as pure as could be.
Shen Xi smiled and asked in return, "Is your domineering CEO still jealous of Fan Lijian?"
"Yes, it's absolutely forbidden to mention it." He wouldn't even allow normal interactions.
Previously, the Fan family had an endorsement deal and wanted to hire her, but before they could even mention her coming, Xi Chen rejected it.
Qiao Yu even had a fight with Xi Chen over this. They agreed not to interfere with her work, and this is how it turned out? She's not allowed to take on kissing or intimate scenes, and her endorsement deals are also controlled. She has no personal freedom at all.
But Xi Chen is unreasonable. What can Qiao Yu do about him?
Everything else is done according to his wishes, but he can't run into Fan Lijian, otherwise Xi Chen will immediately turn into a hedgehog.
Well, Qiao Yu knew what kind of personality her husband had, so she obediently didn't provoke him.
After hearing this, Shen Xi gave her a thumbs up. "Awesome!"
Anyone who dares to control Shen Xi like this will have their teeth knocked out! They're so nosy! Shouldn't they at least ask for his opinion on what he wears every day? For example, they tell him he can't wear anything too revealing or something.
But Qiao Yu seemed to be faking her complaints while genuinely showing off their affection. Shen Xi could only say that it was no wonder the domineering CEO fell in love with her, and that she deserved to get married!
Perfect match!
Qiao Yu gossiped with Shen Xi with great interest: "I heard that Li Jian's fiancée is from an arranged marriage, and she's the one who was supposed to go on a blind date with Lao Fan but it didn't work out."
"Which one?"
“Li Nanxi”.
Shen Xi didn't remember; she had no recollection of the name.
"It was before, Aunt Fan wanted to marry Lao Fan into the Li family, but who would have thought that Lao Fan would get married into the Li family first."
Oh, oh, oh, Shen Xi remembered.
"Really? I heard that Miss Li is older than Old Fan, let alone Fan Lijian. Isn't the age difference a bit too big?"
Previously, Fan Like and Deng Wenjun were more than friends but not quite lovers. The factor that prompted them to get married directly was that Fan's family arranged a marriage for Fan Like.
I heard that the woman is 35 years old and demands that the man be of equal social standing and marry into the Li family. She also wants him to not be greedy for the Li family's money, but her own family must also be wealthy. Who would agree to such conditions?
Which wealthy family would allow their descendants to marry into another family? A bankrupt wealthy family would be more likely.
But the bankrupt Li family didn't want any of them, so they kept picking and choosing, and Miss Li got older year by year.
Li Nanxi had dated a few men, but they were all from poor families, and the Li family didn't approve of them at all.
Then he frantically looked for a wife for his daughter. That year, he took a liking to Fan Like, but who would have thought that Fan Like would turn the tables and marry Deng Wenjun instead.
Even if the Li family thinks highly of Fan Like, they would never want a divorced man.
So the matter was left unresolved.
Shen Xi thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, Fan Lijian took over.
Wasn't it because Fan's mother couldn't bear to part with her precious son that she sacrificed Fan Like?
How could they bear to part with Fan Lijian now? Were the conditions offered by the Li family really that good?
Qiao Yu nodded: "Don't underestimate the Li family just because they run a restaurant. They make a fortune quietly. The Li family originally had a son and a daughter, but their son died in an accident when he was in high school. Now they only have their daughter, Li Nanxi, so naturally they need to find a husband to marry into the family."
Shen Xi understands.
People in Hecheng actually value family traditions very much.
If it weren't for the fact that Li's parents were too old to have a second son, Miss Li would probably have married long ago.
Shen Xi was genuinely surprised that Fan's mother would agree.
Qiao Yu continued, "There was an unexpected situation. The Li family offered too good a deal, and the eldest branch of the Fan family simply couldn't compete with the second and third branches, so they had no choice..."
If that's the case, then Shen Xi understands.
To be honest, the eldest son of the Fan family, Fan Like's parents, are not particularly bright or talented.
For so many years, he has been suffocated by the second and third wives, let alone fighting for the family property.
Grandpa Fan also didn't like his eldest son and daughter-in-law very much, thinking they were too stupid and not like him at all!
As for who he resembles, he wouldn't say.
The old man liked intelligent people, and he had many descendants. He believed in the theory of raising Gu poison, and that among his many descendants, no matter if you robbed, stole, acted openly, or cheated, as long as you were capable enough, the Fan family's property would belong to you.
This is why the different branches of the Fan family fight like roosters, with no affection between the brothers and sisters, only scheming and plotting.
For the old man, feelings and emotions were all nonsense, useless things. The empire he had worked so hard to build should naturally be handed over to the most capable person.
Otherwise, the family fortune will be squandered sooner or later, and the descendants will still be helpless and alone.
A capable person will at least not squander their family fortune.
In the future, he will eventually take care of his brothers and sisters. Otherwise, if he runs such a big business but doesn't even care about his own siblings, who would dare to do business with him?
