At night, Shi Nuan was checking her emails. She clicked on a particularly eye-catching email, then shouted frantically, "Yan, I have been accepted by Shengyuan!" Shi Nuan put down her tablet and jumped up and down before throwing herself into Fu Chengyan's arms.

As soon as Fu Chengyan heard Shi Nuan's voice, he dropped everything in hand and prepared to share her excitement.

Shi Nuan circled his neck with her hands and looked at Fu Chengyan with a smile, "I was worried that they would turn me down when I spoke to Lin Yu the other day. I still couldn't believe that they accepted me! Yan, are you happy for me?"

"Of course I am happy for you. I believe in you!" Fu Chengyan pecked on Shi Nuan's lips. Her happiness was contagious.

Shi Nuan was carried away with happiness but suddenly she stared at Fu Chengyan with a doubtful look, "Were you involved in this?"

"Of course not! What did I say? My May is impeccable! Your resume is the golden ticket to any company," Fu Chengyan squeezed Shi Nuan's hands and kissed her wrist before continuing, "May, it's late now. We should go to bed now. We have an early morning tomorrow."

"You are right, an early morning indeed... What are you doing? You said so yourself, we should get some sleep," Shi Nuan nodded but was quickly interrupted by Fu Chengyan's hands that got under her pajamas.

She glared at Fu Chengyan and angrily said, "You are too mischievous!"

"I didn't say sleep. I said go to bed," Fu Chengyan stressed the last word that came out from his mouth as he abruptly bowed down to carry Shi Nuan in his arms.

Shi Nuan was shocked and immediately held tight onto Fu Chengyan's neck to prevent herself from falling. "Yan, what are you doing?"

Fu Chengyan adjusted Shi Nuan's position so that she could face him with both her thighs clung around his waist. His hands supported Shi Nuan's back and he responded with a dirty smile, "What does it look like?" He carried Shi Nuan to their bedroom.

Shi Nuan's protests were getting softer and softer as he walked pass the hallway with Shi Nuan in his arms.

"Yan, you can't do this."

"It's late now."

"Yan..."

The next day morning, Shi Nuan rubbed on her sore back after she got up from bed. The culprit who did this to her was brushing his teeth while leaning against the bathroom's door staring at her. He looked energetic.

Shi Nuan walked with bare feet as she left the bed. Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes and instructed caringly, "May, wear your slippers."

Shi Nuan paused momentarily while a rush of warmth flowed through her. Soon after, Shi Nuan continued her grumbles. She rubbed on her back to ease the soreness and bit her lips, "Fu Chengyan, I will never believe you again!"

Last night he promised just one time, but that one time lasted a lot longer than expected. In the end, she almost gave in due to her sleepiness while he was still working on her with excitement.

Fu Chengyan always said that her stamina was weak. God knew that it was not because of her stamina, comparatively, his stamina was so good that one could say it was invincible.

Fu Chengyan knew he had taken advantage, so he comforted Shi Nuan immediately, "I am sorry. This is all on me. I should be more considerate about my darling. I promise tonight I will be gentle." "Tonight? You are not allowed to sleep in the master bedroom tonight. You are not sharing the same bed with me," Shi Nuan protested.

Shi Nuan pushed Fu Chengyan out of her way and walked into the bathroom angrily. It took her quite a while to calm herself down. She was wondering how could she fall for Chengyan without realizing this man could be so very naughty sometimes.

Fu Chengyan's eyes glinted but alas, he shook his head helplessly "Hurry up, I will make you breakfast now."

Shi Nuan's anger melted the moment she heard Fu Chengyan's voice which was overflowed with affection. She gladly accepted her fate and started to brush her teeth.

Shi Nuan took her own sweet time to prepare herself upstairs while Fu Chengyan prepared their breakfast. After a while, the breakfast was served on the table and Chengyan waited for her readily. Shi Nuan entered the dining room. She felt slightly uneasy, and she checked on her appearance then pinched the edges of her clothes, "It's my first day at work. I have to leave a good impression, so I..." She lowered her eyes and looked at her clothes. She dressed up modestly because it was her first day at work, she did not want to attract too much unnecessary attention.

It was the end of autumn now and the weather was a bit chilly. Shi Nuan was wearing a fairly thin sweater with a light-colored coat. She looked intellectual but elegant and eye-catching at the same time. Fu Chengyan's eyes were on Shi Nuan. Although he was quiet, his eyes were full of compliments.

Shi Nuan was a little nervous, she went around in circles and then sought for his opinion, "What do you think?"

"Perfect! Come on now. Eat your breakfast before it turns cold. It's better for your stomach to eat when the food is still warm," Fu Chengyan nodded and signaled her to have a seat.

Shi Nuan wanted to lay low when she went to work, so she turned down Fu Chengyan when he offered to send her to work. She drove the Ferrari which was a gift from Fu Chengyan. Even though it did not match her style, she had been driving it for a period of time and she eventually got used to it.

Fu Chengyan arrived at the office first. Zhou Zheng was there waiting. As soon as he saw Fu Chengyan, he rushed up, "Master Chengyan, Lin Yu told me that he had emailed your wife yesterday..."

Fu Chengyan paused his strides and interrupted, "Yes, she reports to work today. Inform Lin Yu to treat her like a usual employee. Inform everyone from the senior management team that we are having a meeting at 9 o'clock."

"I will get right to it," said Zhou Zheng. He quickly turned around and looked at Mai Qi, "You heard Master Chengyan- inform them that we are having a meeting later."

"Got it."

Fu Chengyan took off his suit when he got into his office. He then turned on his computer and started to attend to his emails.

Zhou Zheng looked at the office's door. He then pushed the door open and strode in, "Master Chengyan... about the project on the development of West City."

Fu Chengyan raised his eyes, "Go on."

"Old Master instructed to save a piece for Fucheng," Zhou Zheng said as he took in Fu Chengyan's expression carefully.

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows lightly and in between his good-looking brows, the small area was tainted with a splash of darkness. Even though it was not obvious, for someone who had spent a long time with Fu Chengyan, this was definitely a sign of anger.

Zhou Zheng was not just someone who knew best about Fu Chengyan's temperament, but he also knew enough about his character.

Fu Chengyan did not like to have his hands and feet tied- he preferred to be in full control of things. He had his own principles. No one could change his decisions unless it was necessary.

All of a sudden, Zhou Zheng pitied Fucheng and Fu Yuqing. They went to Old Master directly for this project. Officially, Old Master was still in charge of Fu clan, but actually, Fu Chengyan holds the true authority of Fu clan. Although he had yet to obtain Old Master's acknowledgement and his shares, everyone in Fu clan viewed Fu Chengyan as the future successor.

Fu Yunsheng did not grant the authority to his eldest, second or third son- the spot was kept vacant until now. Everyone knew the importance and significance of Fu Chengyan in Fu clan.

Now that Fu Yuqing had gone over Fu Chengyan's head and requested this project directly from Old Master in Fu clan, his intention to take advantage was very obvious. Although Old Master agreed to it, they still had to go through Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes, there was a thoughtful smile at the corner of his lips. His slender fingers tapped the table lightly. He did not speak a word but his aura still projected its natural force.

He looked at his computer's screen, closed one of the tabs on his browser then raised his head and said coldly, "If he wants a bite on the project of West City, that will depend on him. Let's see if he can swallow that piece of cake. What's the progress in Xinhuang?"

"The movie that Shi Wei partakes will start shooting in a few days. The rest of the movies are still under inspection. Do you want to teach Shi Wei a lesson?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"Lesson? No. We will continue with the baits," Fu Chengyan said as he curled his lips. There was a gleam underneath his eyes. He stood up and placed his hands in his pockets. He showed great interest and looked at Zhou Zheng, "Have you ever seen a cat catching a mouse?"

Zhou Zheng pursed his lips, "Never." He stayed in a high-end residential area and creatures like mice were nowhere to be seen.

Fu Chengyan reached out his hand and took out a file from the drawer. He flipped it with his slender fingers and browsed through them. "Normally, after a cat catches a mouse, it wouldn't eat it right away. It would toy with the mouse first. Let it run for its life, again and again, then the cat would catch it over and over again. The cat would finally eat the mouse after it feels exhausted. We will feed her first, and remember to feed her well. Even if you haven't heard of the story of the cat and the mouse, surely you have heard about the story of Russell's turkey. Keep her well-fed, then strike when she least expects. We have the same reason to feed Fucheng like we feed Shi Wei," Fu Chengyan said as he threw the file in his hand towards Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng started to understand. He really felt that one could mess with anyone but Fu Chengyan- he was terrible and frightful.

"Get on this right away. I like to throw out a long line in order to catch a big fish, but the long line may break. I don't like things out of control. You can go now," Fu Chengyan said.

"OK," Zhou Zheng straightened his back and walked out. After he got out, he then only breathed a sigh of relief. He opened up the file Fu Chengyan threw to him and read it through. Instantly, he was shocked- he did not expect Fu Chengyan to do this!
