Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 523 Hypocrisy is disgusting

She cut off a small piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up immediately. Who said it wasn't as good as a professional chef's? It was absolutely delicious!

Seeing her beaming smile, Bai Ningxuan picked up his glass of red wine and said, "Darling, wishing us happiness."

Tong Shili paused in her steak eating, looked up at Bai Ningxuan's affectionate and gentle expression, remained silent for a moment, and finally picked up her wine glass without saying a word.

She had to admit that Bai Ningxuan was a very good cook. The moment she started eating, she thought that having such a gentle and considerate man at home was simply perfect.

But does she have such an honor?

When they were almost finished eating, Bai Ningxuan asked, "Are you full? If not, I'll make some more."

Tong Shili suddenly realized she was almost finished eating. Time seemed to fly by when she was with him, and her appetite was also great. But his question made her a little shy. Would Bai Ningxuan think she had eaten too much?

"I think I'm eating way too much..."

Bai Ningxuan suddenly smiled, his face instantly lighting up with surprise. "Darling, you've really started to care about me after all? You only pay attention to your image when you're with someone you care about. Oh, my darling, you really excite me."

Seeing Bai Ningxuan's animated expression, Tong Shili was speechless. This Bai Ningxuan was a far cry from his usual calm and composed demeanor at work; he was simply... well, let's just say he was a complete mess.

"Would you like some more food, or perhaps a salad?" he asked as he went into the kitchen.

However, not long after, Tong Shili followed him inside and stood behind him, silently watching him.

Bai Ningxuan turned around, his eyes filled with tenderness, "What's wrong, darling?"

Tong Shili shook her head: "It's nothing, thank you."

Bai Ningxuan smiled gently, saying nothing more. Soon, the salad was served. In the candlelight, the two sat facing each other, the flickering candlelight creating an exceptionally warm and romantic atmosphere.

Bai Ningxuan noticed even the slightest changes in Tong Shili's expression. He put down his fork and looked at her. "Darling, what are you thinking about?"

Tong Shili snapped out of her reverie: "Sorry, I was daydreaming."

She lowered her eyes, seemingly having grown accustomed to Bai Ningxuan's presence without realizing it, like a warm ray of sunshine shining into her cold heart. She had resisted him more than once, but ultimately failed.

Is it really that you can't resist it?

She pursed her lips and said, "It's hard to imagine that a CEO could be such a good cook."

Bai Ningxuan smiled and said, "I haven't always been this way. My father died when I was young, and it was just my mother and me who depended on each other. She had a hard life, and I helped her as much as I could." He took a sip of red wine and said, "This is the first time I've cooked for someone other than my mother. I hope it won't disappoint you."

My first time cooking for someone...

Tong Shili's heart trembled slightly, but her face remained indifferent. "It is my honor, but since Mr. Bai is so busy, please don't force yourself in the future. Anyway, I've gotten used to eating noodles all these years."

Bai Ningxuan frowned. Was this woman impervious to both soft and hard approaches? Would it kill her to be nice to him or say something nice?

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, he took a deep breath. All this time, he had been running around trying to win a smile from the beauty, but now, this damned woman was actually rejecting him!

She knew exactly what he meant, but damn it, he still deliberately provoked her. When did Bai Ningxuan become so annoying? Did being with him cause her so much pain?

Seeing Bai Ningxuan purse his lips and remain silent, Tong Shili, though outwardly indifferent, was extremely nervous inside. His behavior pained her deeply.

She knew how difficult it was for him, managing the enormous Bourbon family while also trying to please her. It was truly a difficult task for him. She was deeply moved, but she wouldn't admit it verbally.

"It's nothing," Bai Ningxuan said calmly. After all, this woman was Tong Shili. Even though he felt a tightness in his chest, he just suppressed it.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. After a while, Bai Ningxuan spoke again, "So, does this mean we're officially dating now?"

As soon as she said that, Tong Shili panicked and wanted to run away.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Bai Ningxuan asked casually, "Yes, or no?"

Tong Shili remained silent. Happiness was right before her eyes, yet she dared not reach out to grasp it. Yi Fanxi had said that Bai Ningxuan was never short of women, nor did he ever agree to date any woman; even if they were together, it would only be a matter of mutual benefit.

In other words, the fact that he's now proposing a relationship proves he's serious; it's not just a casual fling, but a solemn request. She should be happy, and indeed she is, but…

When I think of J, I think of those vivid bloody cases, the massacres that didn't even spare young children...

She can't do it!

The more I care, the less I can bear to see her get hurt.

Looking down, she said, "I'm sorry, I haven't decided yet. There are plenty of people more suitable for Mr. Bai."

She knew that Bai Ningxuan was likely her last happiness, but she didn't dare to pursue it.

A flash of anger crossed Bai Ningxuan's face: "Raise your head and look at me when you speak!"

He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He knew her identity perfectly well, and he only wanted to use her. But now, faced with her rejection, he was so angry that he wanted to kill her.

He took a deep breath, clenching his fists tightly, forcing her to face him.

Tong Shili felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Bai Ningxuan, we're not suitable for each other. And... the person I like... isn't you. Give up." After saying that, she suddenly got up and ran to her room.

Bai Ningxuan sat in his chair, staring at the direction Tong Shili had fled. His gentle eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with gloom.

This woman shattered the unprecedented failure in Bai Ningxuan's life!

Suddenly, a wicked smile crept onto his lips, and the gloomy look vanished, replaced by a playful grin.

You want to play? He'd like to see who the biggest winner is!

That evening, Ding Le waited for the fox to return home, but after a long time, he still hadn't seen him come back. He couldn't help but wonder if something had happened with the commander.

She squinted and called the fox, but the phone rang for a long time without being answered. She scratched her head, considering whether she should ask Yan Zuozuo, since she had cooked a whole table of dishes, otherwise it would all go to waste.

Just as she was about to call Yan Zuozuo, her phone suddenly rang. It was Fox!

"You damn fox, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? What were you doing?" Ding Le yelled into the phone, expecting to hear the fox's annoying voice, but instead he heard a woman's voice, and a very familiar one at that.

"Hi, Ding Le, do you remember me?"

Lucy!

Ding Le felt a pang of guilt. How did Fox's phone end up in Lucy's hands? He suddenly remembered what Lucy had said before. Could it be that Fox had been seduced by this woman?

"Where's the fox? How did you end up with his phone?"

"Hehe, men, they're all fickle," Lucy said with a smug smile, covering her mouth. "We're colleagues, I don't think you, Ding Le, would be so petty as to have a meal or tea with Fox."

She paused, then suddenly added, "Oh, right, I forgot you like foxes. What should I do? He seems to like being with me. Look, he even asked me out for dinner so late."

Ding Le was trembling with anger: "Give him the phone!"

“Sorry, the fox doesn’t want to answer the phone. And…” Lucy smiled mischievously, “Even if he were willing to listen, I wouldn’t agree. The point is…” She flicked her sexy curly hair, “He listens to me.”

Ding Le was absolutely furious when he heard Lucy ask the fox, "Darling, don't you think so?"

However, there really was a fox's voice on the other end of the phone, "Of course, but don't provoke Ding Le, we're friends."

Ding Le could hardly believe what he had just heard, and wished he could expose Lucy, this two-faced and despicable woman.

“Give him the phone; I don’t believe he just spoke.”

Lucy glanced at the fox walking out of the bathroom and smiled, "Ding Le wants you to answer the phone."

The fox was taken aback, displeased with Lucy's actions, but still accepted it, "Ding Le..."

"You bastard, you son of a bitch, I'm asking you, did you really have dinner with that slut?" Ding Le was about to vomit blood.

The fox glanced at Lucy, paused, and said, "Yes."

Just one sentence: "Yes," with no further explanation?

Provoked by Lucy, Ding Le started to have wild thoughts. She forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and said, "You are not allowed to be with that woman. You come back here!"

The fox frowned: "Not now, I'll go back later."

"If you don't come back now, don't ever come back!" After yelling, Ding Le hung up the phone. On the other end, Lucy looked at the fox with an innocent expression. "My God, is Ding Le so domineering, or is he only domineering towards you?"

The fox put her phone away, smiled, and said, "She's always like this."

"It must have been tough on you. Oh, by the way, I heard her calling you back. Could it be that you two are... hehe."

The fox took a sip of coffee: "We're just friends."

"Oh? I thought you two were together. Your relationship is so enviable." Lucy looked innocent, as if she really was envious.

The fox didn't speak, just quietly ate his meal. Lucy, on the other hand, didn't mind at all, and smiled, saying, "Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been hit by a car and hospitalized again. That was so dangerous."

That's exactly why she had the opportunity to get close to the fox in order to complete her mission, Lucy thought to herself with a cold laugh.

"It was nothing, no need to be so polite." The fox didn't say much, and seemed aloof to everyone except Ding Le.

Throughout the meal, Lucy did most of the talking, while the fox only gave brief replies. This greatly displeased Lucy. She was a woman with a great figure, beautiful face, and talent, and countless men were eager to pursue her. However, she never expected to encounter Chi Moqing and the fox, who seemed to completely reject her.

Lucy smiled sullenly: "Speaking of which, I still don't know your real name. They all call you Fox, why?"

"It's just a name, what you call me doesn't matter," the fox said indifferently, continuing to eat.

Lucy glared at him in frustration: "You saved me, so I have to do something for you. I just don't know if you have a girlfriend?" As she spoke, she deliberately winked at the fox, exuding charm.

However, the fox seemed not to notice and calmly said, "It depends on fate."

"You have to seize the opportunity when it comes your way, or it will slip away." Lucy's hints became increasingly obvious, but the fox seemed not to understand at all, only replying with lukewarm words, which drove Lucy crazy.
