Chapter 19: The Same Name
Chapter Nineteen: Same Name
He couldn't help but swallow.
He cleared his throat again and said with an air of utmost solemnity: "Give me your hand first—I can take your pulse more accurately that way!"
"Heh heh heh."
Gu Ziqi suddenly let out a melodious laugh and sat up from the sofa, her expression perfectly earnest. "What's going on? I suddenly feel like I've recovered. I want to take a bath — or how about... we take one together? We can keep up the treatment while we bathe?"
Hum!
Ye Fusheng felt it clearly—blood rushing faster through his entire body, as though something was about to slip beyond his control again.
Without waiting for an answer.
Gu Ziqi rose to her feet and said: "If you won't answer, that's a refusal. Sister is so heartbroken. Fine, I'll wash up on my own — and no peeking, understood?"
Having said that, she hurried upstairs in her evening gown.
Ye Fusheng: "……"
Only after she had completely left did he realize he had forgotten to call off the engagement!
Meanwhile.
News of Gu Ziqi choosing Ye Fusheng as her business partner had spread through Tianhai City like wildfire, known to everyone, with people everywhere trying to find out just who this Ye Fusheng was and where he had come from.
In the end, it turned out he had only just gotten out of prison!
This left everyone deeply disappointed, and more than a few cursed Gu Ziqi under their breath for being blind!
Yet, no one could change this outcome.
Huangfu Hai and Xiao Rulong convened an emergency board meeting through the night, deliberating on how to guard against retaliation.
Other companies were also holding overnight discussions on how to curry favor with Ye Fusheng.
The He family!
He Yuting sat dazed on the sofa, her face drained of all color, her lips ceaselessly repeating Ye Fusheng's name, each utterance accompanied by cries of "Impossible!"
He is Huangfu Qing's boyfriend — how could he possibly have anything to do with the pampered, high-born Miss Gu?
It must be a duplicate name!
"Why does this name sound so familiar?" He Yuting's father, He Duohai, walked over with a deep frown. When he reached He Yuting, his expression suddenly brightened.
"Tianjiao, isn't your fiancé named Ye Fusheng?"
He Yuting shuddered from head to toe at the question and quickly steadied herself. "That's right, the name written on the marriage certificate is Ye Fusheng—it's just… not *this* Ye Fusheng. Same name, different person, heh heh."
He Duohai didn't think much of it — after all, his son-in-law was coming to Tianhai, so it was only natural that he would stop by the He family first.
"But this also proves that anyone named Ye Fusheng is a dragon among men. I very much look forward to this prospective son-in-law coming to our door—according to your grandfather's last words, Ye Fusheng will bring a hundred years of prosperity to the Ye family."
"I look forward to that day so much!"
He Yuting gave a dry laugh. "Dad, don't get your hopes up too high — the higher your expectations, the bigger the disappointment. Ye Fusheng might turn out to be nothing at all. Keep a level head and face it rationally!"
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock came at the door.
He Duohai muttered something about who would come calling in the middle of the night, but went to answer the door all the same and opened it.
Bang!
A figure knelt at the doorway—none other than CEO Wang himself!
Director Wang implored, "Director He, please, I beg you—speak up for me in front of Ye Fusheng. Just tell him I was wrong, that I'll never dare do it again, and ask him to stop targeting me. Please, I'm begging you."
Huangfu Hai and Xiao Rulong might still manage to put up a fight, but he didn't even have the standing to struggle. No matter how he turned it over in his mind, the only option was to seek out He Yuting.
He Yuting felt as though she had been struck by a bolt from the blue. She shot to her feet, seized by an ill premonition, and asked with a trembling heart: "You... what do you mean by that?"
Director Wang said at once, "Don't you know? Ye Fusheng—the one who's been pursuing you—has already become Miss Gu's spokesperson and is now fully in charge of all of Miss Gu's investments in Tianhai!"
It really is him!
He Yuting's mind was buzzing with confusion—what on earth was going on!
"Wait!"
He Duohai suddenly thought of something and turned to look at his daughter: "The Ye Fusheng who's been pursuing you? Don't tell me he's your fiancé?"
He Yuting's guilt surged under her father's scrutinizing gaze, and she broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how she turned it over in her mind, she simply could not understand how a man fresh out of prison could possibly have become Gu Ziqi's spokesperson.
This defies all scientific logic!
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Same name!"
