43: Chapter 43, I want to perish together with you!

43: Chapter 43, I want to perish together with you!

“Sorry,” Fang Yi said softly.

“No need to apologize, I’m already used to it,” Ding Miaoyan replied indifferently.

As she spoke, Ding Miaoyan started the car and drove back to the company.

Along the way, Fang Yi glanced at Ding Miaoyan, who was driving beside him expressionlessly, and couldn’t help but say, “Hey.”

“What is it?” asked Ding Miaoyan, without turning her head.

“That…

the last time at the office, when you were being chased, was it also because of your dad?” Fang Yi asked.

Ding Miaoyan’s face inexplicably flushed, as she recalled the instance when Fang Yi took advantage of her, but from Fang Yi’s perspective, her blush seemed to indicate something else.

Was she suddenly shy because she had finally discovered the allure of his personality?

“Those two groups of people aren’t the same,” Ding Miaoyan said.

“Not the same?

Apart from the money your dad owes that bald guy, does he owe another group too?” Fang Yi asked.

However, Ding Miaoyan awkwardly showed an embarrassed expression and said, “No…

It’s not like that.

Actually, those three men who came to the company that day…

they were minions of loan sharks.”

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Ding Miaoyan with a playful tone, “You borrowed from loan sharks?”

Ding Miaoyan nodded extremely reluctantly.

Fang Yi was at a loss for words and said, “You call your dad a weirdo, but suddenly I think you’re a weirdo too.

To dare to borrow from loan sharks, I’m really at a loss for words.”

It’s not that Fang Yi was afraid of loan sharks, but he knew that for ordinary people to borrow from them would mean risking financial ruin or worse, getting skinned alive.

For a woman like Ding Miaoyan to borrow from loan sharks was akin to seeking death.

Suddenly, next to the roadside, Ding Miaoyan made an emergency stop and said coldly, “Get out!”

“Angry now?”

“Get out!”

“Seems you really are angry, but I still have something to say.

Borrowing from loan sharks really is seeking death, and that’s the truth.

I don’t know why you borrowed from them, but if you run into trouble you can come to me, I can help you out.”

This time Ding Miaoyan hesitated for a brief moment but then said, “Done talking?

If so, get out of the car.”

Fang Yi said, “Sure, I can get out, but I didn’t bring any money with me.

You’re asking me to walk back to the office?”

Ding Miaoyan said coldly, “I don’t care how you get back, just hurry up and get out!”

What a temper!

Fang Yi sighed inwardly, but still got out of the car.

As soon as Fang Yi closed the door, Ding Miaoyan actually started the car and drove off, leaving Fang Yi cursing in frustration – truly heartless indeed.

Fang Yi checked his pockets; he really didn’t bring any money, not even two coins for the bus fare.

“Damn it, to think she could be so ruthless!

Sooner or later, I’ll make her mine,” Fang Yi muttered bitterly.

Yet, as soon as these words fell, a white car stopped in front of Fang Yi, and the door was pushed open from the inside.

Fang Yi was initially taken aback, then hurriedly ran over, got into the car, and sat down.

His demeanor was completely different from before, exhibiting a sycophantic smile.

“I didn’t turn around suddenly because of a guilty conscience or feeling sorry, but rather to thank you for helping me this time.

When I have spare time, I’ll treat you to a meal.

But don’t meddle in my affairs.

If you talk about it again, then get out.

Do you understand?” Ding Miaoyan said coldly.

“I understand, I understand everything, and I’d understand even if you didn’t say it,” Fang Yi said with a grin, thinking to himself about how strong this woman’s pride was.

In fact, both were well aware of the situation.

Ding Miaoyan knew Fang Yi was feigning ignorance, and Fang Yi knew the reason why Ding Miaoyan had turned back, but neither of them called each other out on it.

Once they returned to the office, Ding Miaoyan went into her own office, and just as Fang Yi had just sat down at his desk, Huo Xiaoxuan rushed over like the wind, stood over him imposingly, and asked sternly, “Speak up!

What did you and Miaoyan do?”

“Went shopping and discussed life,” Fang Yi said swiftly.

Huo Xiaoxuan’s watery large eyes were full of suspicion as she silently lifted her fist and said, “See this?

The size of a punching bag.”

Fang Yi immediately played along, “I see it, I want to learn.”

“…”

Huo Xiaoxuan was speechless for a moment, then pulled over a chair and said, “Fine, don’t tell me.

Anyway, I’m sure Miaoyan would never fall for you.”

Fang Yi felt a pang of “pain” in his chest and said, “I’m handsome enough, she won’t overlook me, you underestimate me too much.”

Huo Xiaoxuan gave him a brief once-over and said, “Like this?

Okay, you’re a bit handsome, but it’s no good, Miaoyan has clearly said she wants a rich guy, a poor loser like you shouldn’t even dream about reaching for the stars.”

Fang Yi took a deep breath and thought about the money and goods he’d robbed abroad.

Even he didn’t know exactly how much there was, but most of it had ended up in the old man’s pocket.

If it could be considered as being kept with him, Fang Yi believed he should be very rich.

“How did I end up talking to you about this?

Right, considering you left without saying goodbye today, what do you plan to do?” Huo Xiaoxuan said.

“Uh…

I apologize.”

Huo Xiaoxuan pointed at her stomach and said, “Your leaving without a word made me eat two portions.

I’m stuffed to death now, and it’s not something that can be fixed with just an apology.”

Fang Yi said, “Why did you foolishly eat two portions?

Wouldn’t one have been enough?”

With a silly smile, and somewhat embarrassed, Huo Xiaoxuan replied, “I thought it would be too wasteful to toss the other portion, so I just…”

Fang Yi understood; this girl was truly economical.

So he said, “In that case, from now on, if you need to fight or anything like that, leave it all to me.”

An excited look instantly appeared on Huo Xiaoxuan’s pretty face.

She joyfully extended her pinky and said, “You said it, pinky promise!”

“Do we have to be so childish…”

“Hurry up!”

“…Okay then.”

“Pinky promise, hang ourselves, not allowed to change for a hundred years, whoever changes is a puppy.”

After the pinky promise, Huo Xiaoxuan excitedly returned to her seat, looking as thrilled as if she had found ten bucks on the road—so excited she couldn’t contain her happiness, which left Fang Yi between laughter and tears.

When it was time to leave work, Fang Yi went to the underground garage first to drive out Shen Binnan’s red Audi, then placed his bicycle in the trunk.

After that, Shen Binnan came downstairs unhurriedly and sat down in the car.

As usual, Fang Yi drove straight to the villa.

Through the rearview mirror, Fang Yi saw Shen Binnan reading a document with a focused expression.

He didn’t want to disturb her, only thinking to himself that this woman was really a workaholic.

“I heard you went out with Ding Miaoyan this afternoon?” Suddenly, Shen Binnan asked out of the blue.

Fang Yi calmly replied, “It’s not what you heard, someone must have snitched to you.”

Shen Binnan gave a slight nod and said, “It was Zheng Pengfei.”

Fang Yi cursed, “Damn it, it’s that bastard again.

I won’t be a Fang if I don’t kill him!”

Shen Binnan said in a low voice, “Do you know that you’re the first person who dares to swear in front of me?”

Fang Yi grinned cheekily and said, “Your first time?”

Shen Binnan said, “If you keep being so slick, I don’t think there’s any need to continue discussing your salary.”

“Fuck…

no, you heard wrong.” Fang Yi blurted out a curse without meaning to, then quickly put on a smiling face and said, “So…

how much are you planning to increase it by?”

Shen Binnan said, “After careful consideration, I’ve decided to raise your salary by a hundred yuan per month.”

“…” Fang Yi said with a tone full of grievance, “Are you sure you’re not messing with me?”

The salary was originally two thousand yuan, and an increase by a hundred per month would only bring it to just over three thousand by the end of the year.

Was she kidding?

Fang Yi instantly felt immense frustration.

“I’m not messing with you.

I’ve said, I have considered it thoroughly,” Shen Binnan replied seriously, showing no signs of joking.

Fang Yi fell silent for a while before saying, “Do you know that I’ve suddenly had a thought?”

“Speak!”

“I want to go down with you.”

“… Even if you went down with me, the result would be the same,” Shen Binnan said indifferently, as calm as a still pond.

Already feeling frustrated, Fang Yi became even more so.

On the way, he kept muttering in his mind, “Fuck you, fuck you…” until they reached the villa and he could stop.

Not bothering to open the car door for Shen Binnan, Fang Yi went straight to the trunk to get his bicycle and leave.

But just as Fang Yi was about to mount his bike, Shen Binnan suddenly spoke up.

“Wait a moment!”
