Chapter 2220 - 2222: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

Fu Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.

Men don’t need too many sentimental words between them.

He gazed deeply at the man before him for a few seconds, reached out, patted Li Shengxiao on the chest, and whispered in gratitude, "Thanks."

Li Shengxiao, rarely seen smiling, gave a small grin, pulled his hand away, and returned the gesture with a light punch on his chest, his expression relaxed, "Why say thanks between us? It was Rong Yan who brought Sir Nie back, not me. She said you’ve helped her many times before, and she never found the chance to return the favor. She’s happy to help you this time."

Fu Yi laughed along with him, letting his hand drop, feeling his mood lighten, "I’ll treat you guys to dinner another day!"

"Dinner’s not necessary." Li Shengxiao gave him a look, "Just help me ’watch over’ her more in the future."

Fu Yi raised an eyebrow, teasing, "That doesn’t sound like you. Since when have you been so insecure, needing me to help ’watch over’ your own woman?"

Li Shengxiao wasn’t upset, stepping forward with his long legs toward the villa, "She loves working in the entertainment industry, and I promised her not to interfere with her career post-marriage. The entertainment circle is quite chaotic. I’m confident in protecting her, but I still worry she might encounter some disrespectful people. Some people aren’t afraid of businessmen; they’re more afraid of those in power. With you openly protecting her, I’ll be more at ease!"

Fu Yi suppressed a laugh, his slender phoenix eyes carrying a certain elegance, no less impressive compared to Li Shengxiao, "Mr. Li is just a businessman, and I, a mere director, dare not claim to be in power. The Commander will be angry hearing you say that."

"I won’t go back to inherit the Lin Family." Li Shengxiao’s expression faintly showed a hint of disdain, as if the Lin Family was a mess, causing Fu Yi to let out a sigh.

"You... no wonder the last time I ran into your uncle, General Lin said he doesn’t count on you anymore, and he’s waiting for the next generation with Rong Yan."

Li Shengxiao frowned slightly, his eagle-sharp eyes deep and unreadable, a hint of emotions seemed to flicker within, but he said nothing.

After all, the only person he cared about was Rong Yan. Baby Li was just an appendage to Rong Yan for him; he could protect them conveniently but didn’t want to interfere in the child’s life.

From his expression, Fu Yi immediately understood what he was thinking, sighing in sympathy for the obedient Little Baby of the Li Family, yet deeply admiring his dedication to Rong Yan.

"I get it. Wherever I can help, I’ll protect Rong Yan without you asking."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shengxiao suddenly added a warning note, "Don’t be too eager either!"

"?"

Fu Yi, who hadn’t thought in that direction, was momentarily surprised before understanding his meaning. His face darkened, wearing a wry grin as he walked in front of him, "Save those words for Cui Xiaosi. I’m not like him; I’m married and have a wife!"

Among the four of them, except for Shen Yu, who had grown distant due to Shen Siyuan’s matters, two were married. Only Cui Jiangjing and Gu Linxi remained entangled without signs of stepping into marriage.

As they spoke, they reached the entrance, where the lights inside were bright and transparent. They exchanged a knowing look, tacitly ending this brief conversation between men.

Upon entering, Sir Nie was indeed there. Because of Rong Yan, Sir Nie appeared approachable like a neighborhood elder, kindly helping him examine his left leg.
