Chapter 193 - Wanwan Takes the Initiative to Kiss Third Mast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the ski resort abroad…
There was a layer of frost on the outside of the hotel windows and a layer of water vapor on the inside. Fu Chen and Song Fengwan wrapped themselves in their clothes and walked outside.
The group of people they saw yesterday was standing outside shivering.
The cold wind was bone-chilling as it blew against them. Song Fengwan wrapped her clothes around herself tightly and stared into the distance. After she stood outside for a while, all the remaining heat on her body had already been blown away.
At this moment, the sky was bright and ashen. The clouds in the distance were surging, and it was getting brighter.
Not long later, rays of light shined down from the sky, outlining the mountains in the distance. Song Fengwan’s face was tucked into her collar, revealing only a pair of eyes. Her heart was jumping with joy as she stared into the distance…
Soon, a smidge of red appeared among rays of light. The pure white snow glowed rosy-red, seemingly coated a faint halo. The sun gradually emerged, and the magnificent red seemed to burn the entire sky fiery.
The sunrise was magnificent and spectacular, arousing people’s excitement.
The few people nearby were screaming, cheering, and taking photos non-stop with their phones.
Song Fengwan raised her head slightly and glanced at Fu Chen.
With the light shining down on him, his face was still as charming as ever, and his facial features were even more prominent.
She suddenly recalled the first time she met him. It had been raining that day, and through the rain, his face had looked elegant and engrossing. He had looked so unapproachable that it was as though she was looking up at a tall mountain. But now, he appeared in her life, and his image was becoming increasingly vivid.
She reached her hand out and poked his arm.
Fu Chen looked down at her…
Song Fengwan suddenly stood on her tiptoes, reached out her hand to pull down her scarf, and gave him a peck on his face.
It was very cold here, so everyone was wrapped up very tightly, and so was Fu Chen. The kiss landed lightly on his scarf…
As though it had a penetrating force, it melted into his body warmly. Fu Chen’s fingers suddenly tightened, and his heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest. His heart pounded against his ribs, and he felt an indescribable palpitation and nervousness.
Bang! Bang! Bang! It was a feeling of suffocation.
By the time he regained his senses, Song Fengwan had already gone back into the hotel.
At this moment, the morning sunlight burst forth, outlining his face to look as bright as fire.
Little did he know that his ears were completely red and burning hot at this moment.
He felt warm all over his body.
Fu Chen giggled softly like a young boy.

During breakfast, Huai Sheng felt that the atmosphere was a little off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Song Fengwan kept her head lowered and didn’t speak, while Fu Chen kept smiling at her from time to time.
Huai Sheng chewed on his croissant while staring at the two of them.
What’s going on?
Why does Third Uncle look like a fool?
“Huai Sheng, I’ll be bringing your Uncle Duan to the hospital later, so we have to leave first. I’ll get someone to send you and Big Sister back to Yuncheng first, and then I’ll send someone to send you back to the capital.” The only person accompanying them was Shi Fang, so he could only arrange it like this for now.
“Okay.” Huai Sheng nodded seriously. “Third Uncle, is Uncle Duan really okay?”
Fu Chen nodded.
“Then you have to take good care of him.”
“Got it.”
It was better to see a doctor sooner rather than later. When the cable cars started running, Fu Chen left with Duan Linbai first.
After taking two cable cars and then a high-speed train, they arrived at the most standard large hospital to check Duan Linbai’s eyes.
In the end, he was indeed suffering from snow blindness and would be temporarily blind. The doctor gave him some medication, instructed him on some things, and said that he would recover after some time.
Although the diagnosis made them feel relieved, the sight before Duan Linbai’s eyes right now was completely dark. He couldn’t adapt to it at all. When he walked, although Fu Chen was supporting him, it was still unavoidable that he would bump into things, and he had almost sprained his ankle.
There were sounds of people all around him, but he couldn’t see them at all. He was flustered, and there was nowhere for him to place his hands and feet. It was as though he was stepping on the edge of a cliff with every step he took, and the slightest mistake would cause his body to fall and shatter into pieces.
When he was queuing up in the hospital, he had heard someone calling him. He had immediately gotten up and bumped into someone.
Duan Linbai was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. The doctor even instructed him to keep his body and mind happy.
At the time, he wished he could throw his goggles at the doctor’s face.
F*ck, I’m suddenly blind and can’t see anything. Yet you want me to stay happy? Happy your head!
Do you believe that I’ll smash your head!
In the end, Fu Chen covered his mouth and dragged him out, then bought him a white cane outside. The two of them found a cafe to sit down.
Fu Chen called Song Fengwan. “Linbai is fine. Don’t worry.”
“Okay, we’re almost at the airport.” Song Fengwan heaved a long sigh of relief when she heard the news. Duan Linbai was suffering from snow blindness because of them, so she felt uneasy.
“Pay attention to your safety. If there’s anything, just tell Shi Fang directly.”
“You too. Take good care of Big Brother Duan.”
…
Duan Linbai touched the side of the table with his fingers and rubbed it carefully until he touched his cup. Only then did he hold the cup with his fingers and bring it to his mouth shakingly. It almost hit his chin…
“Ah…” He was really about to break down right now. Even eating and drinking are problems. How am I going to survive these days?
He was about to get up and go to the restroom when he bumped into a waiter holding a tray, causing coffee to splash all over him.
Duan Linbai stood where he was, not daring to move. He only heard people criticizing him in English.
Fu Chen was busy apologizing to them.
Duan Linbai suppressed his anger.
“Linbai, sit down for a while.” Fu Chen helped him to sit down and wiped his clothes with a tissue. Winter outfits were waterproof and windproof, so they didn’t get dirty. But his face was cold, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
“You’ll be fine after a while.”
“Third Fu…” Duan Linbai swung his hand a few times before finally managing to grab Fu Chen’s arm.
“Yeah?”
Seeing his serious expression, Fu Chen knew that suddenly being blind was an unpleasant feeling. Just as he was about to comfort him, Duan Linbai coughed twice. “I want to go to the toilet. I’m about to die from holding it in.”
Fu Chen’s face darkened. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you there.”
He couldn’t see anything, so Fu Chen could only bring him inside the restroom, and he even found a spot for Duan Linbai.
“Do you need me to help you with your pants?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
“No need. Turn around.”
…
With his back facing him, Fu Chen heard the rustling of clothes behind him and a certain someone’s angry curses. He smiled helplessly.
After more than a minute, Duan Linbai finally undid his pants…
Fu Chen reached out his hand and touched his nose. A few seconds later, he heard an angry roar from behind.
“F*ck! Fu Chen, I f*cking got it on my hands! Come help me quickly!”
Fu Chen’s eyes narrowed.
Right now, he just wanted to throw him out.

Yuncheng…
Qiao Aiyun received a call from Fu Chen early in the morning. He didn’t say what happened to Duan Linbai and only said that he couldn’t personally send Song Fengwan home due to a sudden situation. But he sent someone to escort her to the airport and hoped that she could pick her up when they arrived in Yuncheng.
He also said that there was a child along with her and that he might have to trouble her for a night.
“Did something big happen? Do you need my help?”
“It’s alright. I just can’t personally send her home, so I wanted to apologize to you.”
“Okay. If you have something to do, go ahead. I’ll pick Wanwan up at the airport. The child is about five years old, right? Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him.”
After Song Fengwan started high school, Qiao Aiyun was basically a full-time housewife. Other than occasionally managing the jade stores, her entire body and mind revolved around a child, so it didn’t matter to her if there was another one.
“Thank you.” Fu Chen thanked her.
“Why are you being so polite with me? You’ve already helped me take care of Wanwan for so long. This little favor is nothing. If you need any help, let me know anytime.”
…
After ending the call, Qiao Aiyun packed her things and went to the market.
When they came back in the evening, although it would be rather late, they would definitely be hungry. The food on the plane essentially could only fill their stomachs. The vegetables in the morning were fresh, and she also bought a lot of seafood.
When she arrived home, it was already past ten.
Qiao Wangbei had drunk a lot of alcohol yesterday, so he wasn’t even awake when she went out. She was planning to finish making lunch before calling him.
But the moment she opened the door, she saw someone she was extremely unwilling to see.
“Why are you here?” Yesterday, he had grabbed her hand and refused to let go. He had used up all of his shamelessness, but he still actually dared to come and look for her.
“I came to talk to you about getting married.”
Qiao Aiyun gripped the bags in her hands tightly, her mind blank.
“My residence booklet is still in Nanjiang, so we can’t get our marriage certificate immediately. We can discuss the wedding first. Would you like a Chinese wedding or a Western one?
“I’ve already found someone to pick the most auspicious date. I’ll propose to you properly later.
“Be ready.”
Qiao Aiyun was dumbfounded. How did things suddenly progress to him proposing and us getting married?
Qiao Wangbei walked over, took the shopping bags from Qiao Aiyun’s hands, and said sincerely and earnestly, “Aiyun, our parents passed away early, and an elder brother is like a father. I’ve already called the shots on this matter and agreed to it for you.”
Qiao Aiyun smiled bitterly.. Can someone tell me why the entire world changed after I came back from grocery shopping?
