Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Fu Wen’s mood was exceptionally low since he woke up early in the morning.

Compared to yesterday, he had gained another five pounds overnight!

His weight had skyrocketed too quickly in the past two days, making him start to wonder if he was entering the phase of a man’s middle-age spread. However, he maintained a good habit of working out every day.

In Fu Wen’s opinion, men who got fat were just lazy. If they didn’t exercise for a long time, gaining weight was inevitable.

But why was it happening to him?!

He looked at his much-rounder face in the mirror with a gloomy expression. The fierceness in his eyes made him look like he wanted to kill someone.

Although he was confident that women would fall for him, he also knew that having a good appearance was one of the prerequisites for women to fall in love with him willingly.

His low-pressure mood naturally carried over to the company. Everyone who saw him this morning was on edge. They avoided him as much as possible to not get in his way.

And it was at this very moment that Song Zhiqi came to find Fu Wen. After the receptionist told Assistant Wang, Assistant Wang’s face couldn’t help but fall. He really didn’t want to go in and report it, but the person who came was Song Zhiqi.

Why was this person coming so often?!

Assistant Wang couldn’t help but complain in his heart. However, he still knocked on the door of Fu Wen’s office. When he heard the gloomy voice from inside, his heart tightened, and he became even more cautious.

He opened the door and saw that Fu Wen was doing sit-ups. Assistant Wang was bewildered for a moment. He felt that he had been working out in the office much more in the past two days.

“President Fu, Miss Song is here.”

“Song Zhiqi?” Hearing that she had come again, Fu Wen felt an uncharacteristic wave of annoyance.

With his current appearance, would she find out that he had gained weight?

Would that affect his image in her heart?

Thinking of this, Fu Wen’s expression became even uglier.

Seeing Fu Wen’s expression, Assistant Wang couldn’t figure out what his attitude towards Song Zhiqi was. He asked tentatively, “President Fu, do you want to see her? Or should I tell her that you are out for business?”

Fu Wen looked up at him. He felt that his assistant was getting better at reading the situation. After thinking for a moment, he still said, “Let her come up.”

After he finished, he got up to go and wash his face.

“Okay.” Assistant Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t get into trouble.

Like yesterday, he took Song Zhiqi for a walk before bringing her to the reception room.

Song Zhiqi didn’t understand why he always had to take her for a walk, but she wouldn’t say anything now. The invisible force that had been urging her to come to the Fu Group building had lessened a lot, at least not enough to make her turn pale.

After she sat down in the reception room, Fu Wen walked in with wet hair a few minutes later. Song Zhiqi looked at his wet hair. She didn’t understand why he always appeared as if he had just taken a shower.

What had he been doing in the office?

“Is there something you need?” Fu Wen sat in front of her. His expression was still not very good, so his tone towards Song Zhiqi was also a lot harsher.

Song Zhiqi glanced at his face. It was indeed a lot puffier.

Holding back her laughter, she lowered her head and took out a bracelet from her bag. She handed it to him shyly and said, “I forgot to give it to you yesterday. This is a bracelet I made myself. Do you like it?”

It was impossible that she made it herself. She just casually bought it on the way here for five yuan.

It was a very simple brown string bracelet with some beads made of an unknown material. It looked simple and unadorned, at least not as flashy as a red string.

“You made it yourself?” When he heard this, Fu Wen became interested. No woman had ever given him a gift before, let alone something handmade.

“Yes.” Song Zhiqi answered without her face turning red or her heart beating faster.

Fu Wen immediately picked up the bracelet and tried it on his wrist. Although he felt that the bracelet looked a little plain and didn’t match his status, he was still willing to wear it since Song Zhiqi made it herself.

“It’s not bad.” Fu Wen said as he looked at his wrist.

“I’m glad President Fu likes it.” Song Zhiqi said shyly.

Seeing Song Zhiqi’s shy look, Fu Wen showed a charming smile on his face. “Is it really because you forgot to give it to me yesterday that you specially came to give it to me today?”

Shouldn’t it be because she wanted to see him, so she went out of her way to come?

Song Zhiqi’s cheeks became redder and redder. She didn’t answer him.

The system was shocked when it saw this, and its database flickered. “Host, how are you controlling yourself to blush!”

Could this also be faked?!

“My heart beats so fast when I’m in front of him. I don’t need to control it; it just gets this red.” Song Zhiqi said in her mind.

System: “…” Fine.

Seeing that Song Zhiqi was too shy to speak, Fu Wen knew that his guess was correct. He said, “I’m very busy these days. When I’m free, I’ll take you on a trip abroad.”

“Okay. You should focus on your work first. I’m fine.” Song Zhiqi said thoughtfully.

Seeing her so considerate, Fu Wen showed a satisfied expression. “I’m going to deal with my work first. You can go back later.”

“Okay.” Song Zhiqi wished that he would leave quickly. She had already seen him, so the rest of her time was her own.

After Fu Wen left, Song Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Fu Wen, who was in a hurry to leave, was thinking about losing weight to his previous level before the trip abroad. Now, even he could clearly feel that his clothes were a lot tighter, making him feel uncomfortable.

Song Zhiqi sat in the reception room and didn’t rush to leave. Instead, she quickly took out her phone. When she was talking to Fu Wen earlier, she clearly felt that her phone was vibrating. Now that she took it out, she saw it.

“…”

Song Zhiqi’s face fell. She originally thought that Shen Shiyi had sent her a message. She didn’t expect it to be that pampered young miss, Gu Shiyu.

She opened the chat and saw that she was questioning her about why she went to find her brother Fu Wen again, saying that she was a big liar and that nothing she said was believable.

After reading these condemning words, Song Zhiqi felt a deep sense of guilt. She covered her heart and sent her an emoticon that expressed her guilt and then turned off her phone.

Gu Shiyu was not wrong to scold her. Based on her current actions, wasn’t she seducing Fu Wen? This was completely contradictory to what she had told her before, that she was not interested in Fu Wen.

Gu Shiyu, who was still at Zhou Sui’s house, was so angry that her eyes were about to shoot fire when she saw that Song Zhiqi had only sent her an emoticon after such a long time!

Not only did she lie to her, but she also took her money!

How could she have been so foolish to believe Song Zhiqi’s nonsense before!

Zhou Sui was holding a cup of warm water in her hand, and the other hand was rubbing her temple. She had drunk a lot of alcohol last night, and even after sleeping for a night, her head was still hurting. So, she simply took a day off from work.

As for Gu Shiyu, she had come wearing so little, and it was also too late, so she had her stay in the guest room for a night. She didn’t expect that this young miss would not only have no intention of leaving the next morning but also ask Zhou Sui what she wanted for breakfast. After eating, she just stayed on the sofa and played with her phone.

She didn’t know who she had received a message from earlier, but after reading it, she became excited. She held her phone and tapped the screen with her two thumbs, typing a storm of words.

Zhou Sui rubbed her head and said helplessly, “Why are you so agitated?”

It looked like she was about to grab a big machete and kill someone.

When she heard Zhou Sui’s question, Gu Shiyu suddenly became sad. She pursed her lips and said miserably, “That Song Zhiqi has no sense of honor. She took advantage of my absence and went to seduce my brother Fu Wen!”

“She clearly said before that she wasn’t interested in my brother Fu Wen, so what is she doing now!”

Sure enough, she shouldn’t have believed Song Zhiqi’s words before! How could a person with no money or power not like her excellent brother Fu Wen when they met him?

She was just being dishonest!

Zhou Sui was stunned when she heard her words.

Song Zhiqi went to seduce Fu Wen?

She thought about Shen Shiyi’s attitude towards Song Zhiqi and felt that her head hurt even more. Were they playing some kind of new game? Why couldn’t she understand it?

When she heard Gu Shiyu calling him “brother Fu Wen” again and again in her ear, she rubbed her temple and told her to leave. “Aren’t you going back? Your brother will worry if you don’t.”

“I told him I’m with you, so he doesn’t have to worry.” Gu Shiyu pouted, then looked at Zhou Sui. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were a little cold and unapproachable. When her thin lips were pursed, she looked especially intimidating at the moment.

But who was Gu Shiyu? If she cared about these things, she wouldn’t be Gu Shiyu. So, her eyes lit up, and she became visibly cheerful.

“Zhou Sui, what do you think of my brother?”

Zhou Sui: “???”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. She said excitedly, “My brother is single now! He’s handsome and has no bad habits. Although he had a crush on a girl in college, that girl liked my brother Fu Wen, so he has never had a serious relationship. I guarantee you, he is definitely, absolutely a virgin!”

When Zhou Sui heard this string of words, she could barely keep her expression.

Does Gu Tingsheng know that his sister is talking about him like this outside?

And what was she trying to say?

“So, so…” Gu Shiyu was a little shy when she said this, but she still asked seriously, “So, do you want to consider my brother? I think you’d be a great sister-in-law!”

Zhou Sui looked at Gu Shiyu expressionlessly.

However, Gu Shiyu thought that she didn’t believe what she had said earlier. She immediately swore, “Everything I just said is true. If there’s a single lie, may I be struck by lightning!”

Seeing that she still wasn’t talking, Gu Shiyu suddenly got anxious. “What I said is all true. My brother is definitely a virgin. He’s never messed around outside, so he’s still clean!”

Zhou Sui’s expression was indescribable. Does Gu Tingsheng know that his sister is promoting him like this outside?

“Don’t try to matchmake people randomly.” What was going on in Gu Shiyu’s mind? She was furious just a moment ago. How did she turn around and start setting her and Gu Tingsheng up?

“I’m not!” Gu Shiyu pouted. She was being very serious! She really liked Zhou Sui and thought that if she became her sister-in-law, her life would be simply wonderful!

Zhou Sui looked at her, then thought about how she was chasing after Fu Wen. She pointed at her heart and said with a fake smile, “You yourself know that the selling points you are using to promote your brother are that he’s a virgin and that he’s clean.”

“Why don’t you ask yourself? A public product that has been used by who knows how many women, you’re not disgusted to let him into your body, and you even treat him like a treasure.”

When she heard her words, Gu Shiyu was completely stunned. She stared at her blankly. She was like a statue and didn’t move again.

Zhou Sui calmly retracted her hand. Of course, her real meaning wasn’t that not being a virgin meant being dirty. This was simply directed at Fu Wen.

She felt that that person was too rotten, and a rotten person was naturally dirty.

Gu Shiyu gradually came back to her senses. The carefree smile was no longer on her face. She stood up with a tense face and walked towards the guest room without a word. After she packed her things, she walked straight past Zhou Sui and lowered her head to change her shoes at the door.

When Zhou Sui saw her like this, her heart couldn’t help but jump. She wondered if what she said was too much, but she still didn’t say sorry when she saw that Gu Shiyu was about to leave after she changed her shoes.

She might have thought that what she said was a bit much, but she didn’t think she was wrong.

With a soft bang, the door closed, and Gu Shiyu left without even saying goodbye.

Zhou Sui frowned. Although she didn’t think she was wrong, seeing Gu Shiyu like this still made her a little annoyed.

…

Fu Group Building.

When Song Zhiqi walked out of the Fu Group building, the invisible force on her had disappeared. She was a little regretful that she didn’t get any abuse value from this trip, but at least the mission issued by the system, which was to make Fu Wen fall for her, might have made a little progress.

After she came out, she saw the cool silver-gray sports car parked at the entrance. She was pleasantly surprised for a moment, but that was it. The rest of her feelings were all panic.

Her face turned red and then white. She was afraid that Shen Shiyi, who was already mad, would be even more angry because she came to see Fu Wen.

When she was first being oppressed by the force, she had thought about going to see Shen Shiyi, but she thought that Shen Shiyi was still angry and might not want to see her. It would be a wasted trip, so it was better to come and find Fu Wen, who had a higher chance of success.

She quickly walked to the sports car and bent down to look at the person inside. At this moment, the car window was completely rolled down, and Shen Shiyi’s cold and noble face was fully in her sight. Song Zhiqi was speechless for a moment. She looked at her and didn’t know what to say.

“Get in.” Shen Shiyi said coldly.

“Oh, okay.” Song Zhiqi quickly walked around the front of the car, opened the door, got in, and buckled her seatbelt. She turned her head to look at Shen Shiyi and asked with a lack of confidence, “Are you still mad?”

Shen Shiyi started the car and shifted the gear. The car smoothly drove out of the Fu Group building and then merged into the traffic. Only then did she say with a light voice, “Then do you think I should still be mad?”

When Song Zhiqi heard her words, her heart immediately started pounding. How was this question so much like a trick question? Was there any high-EQ quote she could borrow?

In the end, she found that she didn’t have the EQ, so she just told the truth. “I think it’s normal for you to be mad, but I hope you can not be mad.”

When Shen Shiyi got mad, she was really terrifying.

“So you want me to die of anger?” Shen Shiyi’s tone was still very bland.

Song Zhiqi: “…” If you put it that way, what can I say?

Shen Shiyi let out a light sneer and didn’t say anything else.

The atmosphere between them became silent. After a while, Song Zhiqi couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore and took the initiative to speak again. “When did you leave? How did I not notice?”

“Does it matter when I left? You wouldn’t care anyway.” Shen Shiyi turned on the turn signal and merged into another lane.

Song Zhiqi was immediately anxious. “What do you mean it doesn’t matter! Do you know how worried I was when I found you were gone this morning! What if something happened to you!”

If she thought it didn’t matter, she wouldn’t have spent that painful 1% of her abuse value!

When she heard Song Zhiqi’s words, Shen Shiyi’s expression softened a lot, but when she thought about this person going to see Fu Wen again in such a short time, the anger in her chest just wouldn’t dissipate.

“Nothing will happen to me, even if Fu Wen gets into an accident.” Shen Shiyi said this with a hint of sarcasm.

Song Zhiqi: “…”

So she spent that 1% for nothing?

She pouted and said, “I’m concerned about you, and you’re still like this.”

Shen Shiyi didn’t say anything and drove towards the suburbs. As the traffic became less and less, her speed became faster and faster. Since it was a sports car, the acceleration was so fast that Song Zhiqi didn’t even have time to react before it reached 160 kilometers per hour.

She listened to the wind whistling outside the window and quickly checked if her seatbelt was fastened. Then she looked at Shen Shiyi in horror.

“No, why are you driving so fast? Slow down!”

Although the road was wide and there were few cars, there was no need to drive this fast, right!

Shen Shiyi looked at her with some confusion. Before she could speak, Song Zhiqi quickly shouted, “Look at the road! Why are you looking at me!”

Helplessly, Shen Shiyi had to turn her gaze back. At the same time, she slightly eased off the gas and lowered her speed. She said very speechlessly, “Isn’t it normal to drive at this speed on this kind of road?”

“Why are you driving so fast! We’re not in a hurry to get reincarnated!” Song Zhiqi said with a confident tone. Although she also liked driving sports cars before, she rarely drove faster than 140 kilometers per hour. Because of this, many people mocked her, saying that the supercars were wasted on her.

But Song Zhiqi thought that the cars looked good and had good performance. She could drive as fast as she wanted. It’s not like she had to drive at top speed just because it was a supercar.

When Shen Shiyi heard her words, she was speechless, but seeing her obviously anxious face, she lowered her speed again and again, keeping it at a range that Song Zhiqi could accept.

When the speed was finally normal, Song Zhiqi looked at the scenery outside the window and still couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going?”

Why was it getting more and more desolate?

“Vacation.” Shen Shiyi said in a light tone.

“Huh?” Song Zhiqi became more and more panicked. “Are you sure we’re going on a vacation? Not to kill someone and dump their body?”

Although the sky was blue, the roads were wide, and the trees were lush and tall, it was also a fact that there weren’t many people in sight!

Was Shen Shiyi so mad that she wanted to kill her?

When Shen Shiyi heard her words, her cheeks hardened. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, “What kind of person am I in your heart?”

In her heart, was she a murderer who would kill someone without a word?!

Hearing her obviously displeased words, Song Zhiqi was a little embarrassed. She shrank her neck and said with a lack of confidence, “You can’t blame me for thinking that. You’re still mad, and you’re taking me to a place like this.”

In a place like this, if you killed someone and buried their body, it would be years before they were found.

Shen Shiyi took a deep breath. She felt that she was not tolerant enough.

This Song Zhiqi was just too infuriating!

She tried to force a smile on her face. “Then don’t worry. I won’t bury you in a place like this. Even if I have to bury you, I’ll choose a graveyard with the best feng shui for you.”

Song Zhiqi: “…That’s not necessary.”

She wouldn’t be staying in this world anyway, so a graveyard was useless!

Shen Shiyi was expressionless until it was almost noon when the car drove into a resort.

The entire resort had a beautiful environment with mountains and water, giving it a very idyllic feel. Being in it, one’s heart seemed to broaden. The depressing mood was gone, and as she breathed in the fresh, natural air, Shen Shiyi’s brows also relaxed.

“Wow, I didn’t expect it to really be a vacation!” Song Zhiqi looked at the resort with surprise. She thought Shen Shiyi was lying to her!

When Shen Shiyi heard her words, she gave her a cold glance and walked straight into a wooden house. Song Zhiqi quickly followed her. She looked at the wooden sign outside the house. This was the hotel’s reception.

Shen Shiyi went in without having to say anything. Someone immediately handed her a room key and said thoughtfully, “Lunch is ready. It’s in the courtyard.”

“Okay.” Shen Shiyi took the room key and glanced at Song Zhiqi.

Song Zhiqi immediately had the good sense to follow her.

The accommodations here were like a series of small farmhouses, but they were much more refined than real farmhouses.

Song Zhiqi looked at everything with curiosity. In the TV show snippets, she had never seen a resort like this.

After lunch, seeing Shen Shiyi’s calm face, Song Zhiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She shouldn’t be mad anymore, right?

After she was relieved, Song Zhiqi started to wander around the courtyard. The living quarters, a card room, a media room, a study, and other things were all available. She could totally live here for a long time.

Seeing the media room, she thought that since she had nothing to do, watching a movie would be a good idea.

Just as she was choosing a movie, Shen Shiyi walked to her side. She didn’t know where she pressed, but the whole room suddenly became dark, making Song Zhiqi’s heart tighten.

“Let’s watch a comedy.” Shen Shiyi said lightly.

Song Zhiqi had no strength to argue. She could only watch as she chose a movie with a rating of only 2.3. Her face turned pale.

From the cover, it didn’t look like a comedy at all.

It looked like Sadako was about to crawl out of the TV!

But facing Shen Shiyi’s cold face, she was afraid to be angry. She wanted to leave and not watch it, but she was hugged and held tightly in her arms. No matter how much she struggled, it was useless.

“Don’t move. Didn’t you want to watch a movie?”

“I… can I not watch it?”

“No.”

As Shen Shiyi’s refusal fell, the opening sound of the movie also began.

Song Zhiqi immediately stopped struggling. She leaned her back against Shen Shiyi’s arms, letting her hold her from behind. This way, if she saw something scary, she wouldn’t feel a chill down her spine.

As the movie started, the screen showed a happy couple who looked like they were in their mid-twenties. From the decorations in the house, it could be seen that they had just been newlywed.

At first, Song Zhiqi felt that it was quite normal, but as the movie’s sound effects became more and more depressing, the male lead of the house started to act strange. There were frequent flirtatious messages from other women on his phone, which were later discovered by the female lead on a certain day.

However, the female lead pretended not to see these explicit messages to maintain the stability of their family.

But her giving in only made the male lead push the boundaries even more.

The male lead was no longer satisfied with flirting through words and started to take action.

In this oppressive atmosphere, facing the male lead’s increasingly cold attitude, the female lead’s patience finally erupted over one thing.

While the female lead was away on a business trip, the male lead brought his mistress back to their home. The female lead came home a day early and found the couple sleeping in their marital bed.

The female lead turned around, went into the kitchen, and took the sharpest cleaver. She aimed it at the man’s neck and chopped down!

Warm bl00d splattered out, dotting half of her face. In the dim light, she looked like a ghost who had come to take a life.

The scene was chilling. As the mistress let out a sharp scream, Song Zhiqi seemed to shiver and hugged Shen Shiyi even tighter.

The female lead grabbed the male lead’s head. A stiff smile appeared on her bl00d-splattered face as she handed the head to the mistress. “He’s all yours.”

The mistress screamed again, and the female lead seemed to find it noisy. As her hand fell, another head rolled on the ground, making a thud.

The female lead looked at the camera, licked the bl00d on the knife, and showed a chilling smile on her face.

“Mm, this comedy is not bad.” Shen Shiyi commented.

Song Zhiqi’s body was stiff, and she wanted to cry.

“Actually, this comedy is really boring.”

“It, it is, right?”
