Song Fengwan followed Fu Chen to the underground parking garage. After getting into the car, she took out Yu Manxi’s signature from her laptop bag and put it away happily.

“Why didn’t you say anything about knowing Yu Manxi?” Because the video of the unspoken rules was exposed, she suddenly became popular online. “Even when Grandma Fu mentioned it, you pretended not to know.”

“With my personality, if I say that I know her, she’ll definitely dig to the bottom. Her relationship with Sinian is still unstable, and it will be too stressful for her if the family gets involved too early,” Fu Chen explained.

Song Fengwan nodded. “When you dragged him over, what did you say?”

“I told him to let go of his pride to woo his wife. Be more shameless.”

Song Fengwan suddenly remembered that Fu Chen had pretended to be drunk and tricked her into kissing him.

He’s shameless himself, but he even has to teach bad things to his nephew.

Song Fengwan rummaged through her bag, took out a palm-sized bag, and handed it to Fu Chen. “Help me give this to Sixth Master.”

“What?”

“When I went home during the National Day holiday, my mom prepared some for my roommates. She didn’t know that one of them had moved out of our dorm room, and I didn’t mention it either. Although this thing isn’t suitable for him to wear, it’s not bad to put it at home…”

Song Fengwan leaned against Fu Chen’s ear and whispered something.

Fu Chen’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel. This girl has really learned to be bad.

“Doesn’t he want to fall in love? It should be useful. My mom specially got someone to take it from the Jade Hall of Spring. It’s not cheap.” Song Fengwan smiled.

“I’ll send you back to school and then give it to him on the way back.” From Beijing University to Chuanbei and then back to Yunjin Prime Manor, it was almost in a straight line, so it wouldn’t take up much time.

Software Garden condominium…

After Fu Chen and Song Fengwan left, Yu Manxi quietly tidied up the dining table. Fu Sinian wanted to go over and help. He had lived alone for a long time. Although he didn’t know how to cook, he still had the ability to clean and wash dishes.

“There’s a lot of oil. You only have a pair of gloves. Let me do it. You bought the food, so I should do something too.” Yu Manxi cleaned the dishes neatly.

Fu Sinian stood at the side, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it. With one hand in his pocket and the other holding the cigarette, he raised his head slightly. While puffing away, he tilted his head and looked at the person working in the kitchen…

When Yu Manxi smelled the smoke, she turned her head to look at him, and their eyes met.

“You shouldn’t smoke at home. It’s not good if the air isn’t ventilated, and it’s not good for your health either.” Yu Manxi opened the kitchen window.

“Okay.” Fu Sinian raised his hand and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray at the side.

“Are you very addicted to smoking?” Yu Manxi asked casually in the heavy atmosphere.

“It’s not too bad. Sometimes, I need to think and calm down, so I smoke one.”

“I thought you were used to smoking after a meal,” Yu Manxi teased. “Is your work not going smoothly?”

“No.” Fu Sinian exerted force with his fingers and pressed the cigarette butt down half an inch.

“Then, what are you thinking about?” Yu Manxi had already washed the dishes and pulled off the gloves, but there was still some water on her hands. She flicked her sleeves and prepared to leave the kitchen.

“I also bought some pastries. If you stay up late and feel hungry, you can eat them…”

Ever since he entered the room, his eyes had never left her. His pupils were dark, deep, and dangerous.

“My exam is at the end of the month, and I still have a bunch of books to read. I really have to go home.”

The moment they brushed past each other, Fu Sinian reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist. He lowered his body slightly and bent down, making his gaze level with hers. The breath he exhaled was very hot, and it was mixed with the smell of smoke. When it landed on the side of her ear and neck, it made her gasp.

She subconsciously struggled to break free but couldn’t get away. He’s too close.

“I’m thinking about a lot of things…”

Yu Manxi’s ears heated up. She felt dizzy and looked at him blankly.

“Like why you were so passionate to me last night…

“But sneaked away in the morning? Did something unhappy happen between us yesterday?

“I’m thinking about why you refused to acknowledge our relationship in front of my third uncle.”

1

Yu Manxi was stunned. She couldn’t answer any of these questions. It wasn’t that she was unhappy, but she was so excited that her heart almost stopped. She murmured, “Our relationship…”

“I think only a couple will kiss on the mouth. What do you think?”

Fu Sinian moved closer. Yu Manxi’s mind was full of his face, and her ears were full of his low and hoarse voice.

It was a fatal temptation.

To her, Fu Sinian was like a sniper. He could hit every inch of her accurately, making her heart palpitate.

She cried out in confusion.

“Since you kissed me forcefully yesterday, doesn’t that mean you’re willing to date me? Or did I misunderstand, and you just wanted to play hooligan with me?” Fu Sinian held her hand tightly, his heart not calm either.

Scorching heat came from his broad palm, and his grip was so strong that it hurt her wrist.

“I’m not playing hooligan.” Yu Manxi gritted her teeth. “Be gentler. My wrist hurts.”

Fu Sinian loosened his fingertips a little, and his fingertips gently rubbed against her wrist. After the turbulent lake surface, pebbles fell…

She was extremely shocked.

It felt as if a thin current of electricity was passing through her body, and all the blood in her body was screaming and flowing in reverse.

“I drank too much yesterday.”

“Are you the same to others?” Fu Sinian didn’t like this reason.

“No, last night was my first…” Yu Manxi lowered her head and gritted her teeth. My first kiss.

But she had been too drunk yesterday. Now that she thought about it, only the pain at the corner of her lips told her that something shameful had indeed happened between them yesterday. But she could no longer remember exactly how it felt.

“First kiss?” Fu Sinian said bluntly.

Yu Manxi blushed. Can this person not be so direct?

“Yu Manxi, about last night, you…” Fu Sinian’s gaze was cold and silent, but his heart was not calm. “How are you going to be responsible?”

“Responsible…” Yu Manxi stammered. Her little mouth was slightly swollen from the bite yesterday, and she had also eaten the hotpot with the red oil soup just now. It was bright red…

It’s indeed tempting.

“Responsible?” Fu Sinian leaned over and gently pressed his lips against hers…

Yesterday, she didn’t have time to savor the feeling on his lips. Now that they were pressing against hers, his lips…

… were soft and warm.

It was completely different from the feeling he gave off.

Fu Sinian’s fingers loosened slightly and slid down. He hooked her fingers and interlocked them.

Yu Manxi’s breathing was a little heavy. “Mr. Fu…”

“You said you liked me last night.”

Yu Manxi couldn’t remember at all, and her mind exploded.

He moved a little closer and pressed his lips even deeper. There was a faint smell of hotpot and tobacco on him…

Why does he smell so good?

While she was stunned, Fu Sinian pulled away. “You have a lot of books to read?”

“Yeah.” Yu Manxi was in a daze.

The happiness came too suddenly.

“I have to work tonight. Together?”

Yu Manxi was dizzy and didn’t know how she got home. By the time she returned to her senses, she had already moved the books to Fu Sinian’s condo. He was carrying the cat in his arms and dealing with his emails. She sat at the side, reading and looking at him at times. She couldn’t calm down at all.

It was only when her phone vibrated did she regain her senses. It was an unknown number. There were often colleagues at the station whom she didn’t know looking for her. She answered the call, “Hello.”

The other party was silent.

“Hello?” Yu Manxi frowned. Is it a prank call?

“… Who allowed you to stay in China?” This familiar voice instantly brought Yu Manxi back to reality, and her face immediately turned ashen.

Fu Sinian tilted his head and looked at her. His eyes narrowed, and his expression was unreadable.

Yu Manxi walked out with her phone. “I have my own plans.”

“Hurry up and leave. You’re still showing your face in public. If anyone finds out, you will bring disgrace to our family.”

“I didn’t steal or rob anything. What does it have to do with you how I earn my money? Besides…” Yu Manxi walked to the balcony. “Didn’t you say long ago that I’m not worthy of being your daughter and told me to get lost? What does my life have to do with you?”

“You…” The man clearly didn’t expect Yu Manxi to be so unyielding.

Before he could speak, she hung up.

This was the first time Yu Manxi resisted him in many years. Her body was weak, and all the energy in her body seemed to be drained.

She took a deep breath and let the wind blow against her on the balcony for a while. When she turned around, Fu Sinian had just opened the door and returned.

“When did you leave?” Yu Manxi actually didn’t know.

“Just now.” Fu Sinian held a convenience bag in his hand. “I’ll heat up some milk for you. After you finish drinking, I’ll send you back to bed. Don’t read tonight.”

Yu Manxi stared at his back, her eyes moist.

On the other side, a middle-aged man was so angry that he smashed his phone.

“Wretched girl. I supported her when she was studying overseas. Now that she’s grown up, she dares to talk back to me and even hang up on me! She’s been showing her face on TV all day. If anyone finds out that she’s my daughter, our family’s prestige will be lost.”

“Dad, calm down.” A girl in her twenties came over and brought him a cup of tea.

“This damn girl.”

“Dad, leave this matter to me. I’ll make her retreat in the face of difficulties and leave obediently.” The girl smiled gently and stroked his back to help soothe his anger. “Don’t be angry because of her. It’s not worth it.”

“If it wasn’t because the Fu family’s matter involved her, I wouldn’t have even known she was back!”

“Yeah, she’s changed so much that we can’t recognize her anymore. She came back to China but didn’t go home. She changed her name and even her surname…”

The man sneered without saying anything.

“If she didn’t clarify things on TV, it wouldn’t have been so easy for the Fu family to clean up the mess. Why would she help the Fu family…” the girl said casually.

“Perhaps she doesn’t know the relationship between our families. She probably unintentionally helped the Fu family. She won’t go against us by helping the enemy.”

“Who doesn’t know that Grandpa was angered to death by Old Fu…” Her voice became lower and lower until it was silent.

The man drank the hot tea and didn’t say anything.

Thinking of his father’s death, he gritted her teeth in hatred.

The show ‘All Beings’ was currently broadcasting on TV, talking about the child-seeking matter. Yu Manxi had an excellent temperament and was elegant and calm. She was completely different from the person in their memories. No wonder no one recognized her after watching the show for so long.

If she hadn’t helped the Fu family this time, he wouldn’t have sent someone to investigate and found out that she had returned to China.

She sure has guts!

The girl beside him stared at the TV with a smile on her face, neither shocked nor emotional.

***

At this moment, Fu Chen had arrived at the Jing residence.

“Sixth Master is in the inner room.” The sky was already dark, so the people of the Jing family didn’t expect Fu Chen to come.

“I’ll go there myself.” Fu Chen knew where their so-called inner room was. He walked to a porch light and reached out to touch it twice. Immediately, a secret door appeared.

The light inside was dim, and there was a pungent smell of photography fluid.

Jing Hanchuan was holding a pair of tweezers and washing photos when he saw Fu Chen from the corner of his eye. “Why are you here?”

The Jing family had invested in many businesses. Other than regular inspections of the businesses, Jing Hanchuan had developed some so-called interests and hobbies. Photography was one of them. Today, when Fu Chen and Fu Sinian visited, he was in a good mood.

He washed the film from a month ago.

After the photos were taken, the film had been left in the camera for a month. Coupled with the aging photography fluid, the photos looked especially interesting.

“Wanwan asked me to thank you for the fish.” Fu Chen looked at the photos he was developing. Almost all of them were photos of scenery and people. Most of them were photos of his mother. She was dressed in a floral dress and had a unique charm to her.

“You specially came here just for this?” Jing Hanchuan smiled.

“She has a gift for you.” Fu Chen took out a bag from his pocket.

“What? She’s so polite.”

Fu Chen took out a carnelian bracelet from the bag.

“She said your gift of male fish makes you appear resentful and that you must want to fall in love. Carnelian paired with turquoise or lapis lazuli…

“… hastens the coming of love…

“… and increases affinity with the opposite sex!”

Jing Hanchuan smiled. “Thank her for me.”

But his tone was full of anger. These two people are really a match made in heaven. Indeed, someone who can get together with Fu Chen isn’t a little white rabbit.

Song Fengwan was seriously attending evening self-study when she suddenly felt her ears burning. Is someone talking bad about me behind my back?
