Qiao Aiyun cooked a bowl of vegetable noodles. Perhaps Yan Wangchuan was hungry because he ate quickly.

She suddenly thought of the day she had married Song Jingren. When their living conditions were bad, he would definitely go home for the three meals of the day. When their conditions improved, there was an increase in his social activities. If he didn’t go home, she would basically cook and eat with Song Fengwan.

“Do you want more? There’s more in the pot.” Qiao Aiyun curled her lips up slowly.

“I’ll go get some myself.” Yan Wangchuan got up and entered the kitchen.

Qiao Aiyun supported her chin with one hand with a mischievous look on her face. His actions were very clumsy. He actually scooped up the noodles with the soup ladle. When the noodles slid down, his face darkened.

He seemed to be competing with the noodles, and his face was scarily dark.

“Senior Brother, use chopsticks.”

Only then did Yan Wangchuan pick up the chopsticks by the side.

“You don’t usually cook by yourself?” Qiao Aiyun tilted her head and looked at him.

“The company has a cafeteria.”

“You’ve never cooked before?”

Yan Wangchuan didn’t speak. But in his heart, he was thinking that perhaps Qiao Aiyun liked a man who could cook. I will find time to learn.

After dinner, it was already past nine in the evening. Yan Wangchuan didn’t stay the night. After charging his phone, he called his assistant to pick him up.

On the way back, the assistant could clearly sense that he was in a good mood. “President Yan, you’re in a good mood.”

“Yes.” He nodded. “Help me hire a teacher tomorrow.”

“What do you want to learn?”

“Cooking.”

The assistant was dumbfounded. The Yan family was in the jewelry business. The things he handled were either gemstones, diamonds, or jade. He wants to hold a kitchen knife?

Is he preparing to wash his hands off and become a househusband?

He simply couldn’t imagine what a person like Yan Wangchuan would look like cutting vegetables with a knife.

“Okay, I’ll contact someone later.”

“I want a man,” Yan Wangchuan reminded.

Yuncheng, Fu residence…

After finishing his evening class, Huai Sheng had to go back to his room to take a bath before returning to practice writing.

Sun Rui immediately stood up excitedly. She knew that Huai Sheng slept with Fu Chen, so she wanted to go to Fu Chen’s room to take a look. “Take a bath? Let me help you.”

Huai Sheng frowned. “It is improper for men and women to touch each other.”

“You’re still young. What are you afraid of? You definitely won’t be able to wash yourself clean on your own,” Sun Rui said while trying to hold his hand and leading him to the room.

Huai Sheng dodged. “Benefactress, please have self-respect. I’m a monk. You can’t do this.”

He looked as though he had been violated.

Sun Rui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. No matter what, she wouldn’t like a little baldy.

Huai Sheng ran back to the room and started taking off his clothes to take a bath.

Sun Rui hesitated for a moment before walking to the door of Fu Chen’s room. She grabbed the door handle and tried turning it a little. The door wasn’t locked.

She was overjoyed…

Just when she tried to open the door, a voice came from behind her. “Little Rui, what are you doing?”

Sun Rui was scared out of her wits. Her legs went weak as she turned her head stiffly. “Auntie, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Sun Qionghua had changed into her pajamas. She crossed her arms and sized her up. “Follow me to the room.”

Sun Rui gritted her teeth but still followed.

“Close the door.” Sun Qionghua was packing her luggage, so the room was rather messy at the moment.

Sun Rui closed the door and walked into the room nervously.

Sun Qionghua sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her with an increasingly penetrating gaze. “What were you doing just now?”

“I didn’t do anything?” Sun Rui felt guilty and didn’t dare look at her directly.

“This isn’t the first time you’ve met Fu Chen. He hates it when others touch his things. Even I usually don’t dare to enter the room he’s staying in, yet you dared to encroach upon it? You’re really not afraid that Fu Chen will throw you out!” Sun Qionghua was full of anger tonight, all thanks to Sun Rui.

Not only was she unashamed, but she still dared to approach Fu Chen.

“Auntie, it’s not that exaggerated.” Sun Rui bit her lip, looking thoughtless.

“You didn’t even tell me before coming here. Did you know what I was going to do tonight?”

“Didn’t I come here to see you off? It’ll be difficult for us to meet once you go overseas.”

“Stop trying to play dumb with me. I know very well who you’re here for. Fu Chen is already very unhappy today. I’m warning you. Don’t cause trouble again tonight. Otherwise, I will get someone to send you back now.”

“Auntie—” Sun Rui sat beside her and acted spoiled. “Don’t be angry. I won’t cause trouble anymore.”

“Little Rui, let me be frank with you. The old madam has already said that Fu Chen is bringing someone back this year. He doesn’t make promises easily. I’m afraid he already has a goal…”

Sun Rui’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Auntie, don’t lie to me.”

“Why would I lie to you? He’s very cunning, and I can’t see through him. But this matter is probably a done deal. You’ve known each other for so long, but have you spoken more than ten sentences? Fu Chen doesn’t like you, so why do you bother prancing near him?

“If he really has someone in his heart now, it’s even more unlikely that he will like you.

“So don’t provoke him. He has a bad temper. I’m afraid he’ll embarrass you at that time.”

…

Sun Qionghua only had this one niece, so she still hoped that she would be well. Even though she knew that she was spoiled, selfish, and willful, she still warned her for a long time.

When Sun Rui left Sun Qionghua’s room, she was still in a daze.

She didn’t listen to Sun Qionghua’s advice, and her mind was full of the thought that Fu Chen already had someone he liked. How was this possible? She had always been paying attention to news about Fu Chen. How could there be someone he liked?

At home, if she wanted the moon in the sky, her father would pluck it for her, so she naturally thought she could get anything she wanted.

It was the same for men.

At the thought of Fu Chen being with another woman, her jealousy burned until she lost all rationality.

She might as well go all the way and make it so that it would be too late to change anything once everything was over.

Huai Sheng took a bath and ran back to the study to practice writing. Sun Rui walked to Fu Chen’s door, so nervous that her palms were hot and sweating. In the end, she pushed the door open and entered…

***

On the way home, Fu Chen was on the phone with Duan Linbai.

The latter couldn’t see or play with his phone, so he could only call and harass Fu Chen.

“… Third Fu, when are you coming back? I have to go to the hospital for a checkup the day after tomorrow.”

“My time is undetermined.”

“Are you kidding me? My eyes are blind because of you. You have to be responsible for me.”

“I’ll get someone to accompany you.”

“You just want to woo Little Sister-in-Law now. You don’t want me anymore. Life is tough…”

Fu Chen laughed while walking to his room. Qian Jiang and Shi Fang naturally followed close behind him.

The moment he opened the door, his expression changed.

The smell of perfume rushed into his nose, so strong that it was suffocating.

There was a night lamp on in the room, casting a dim light. He didn’t enter the room at all.

He gestured for the two people behind him to enter.

Qian Jiang and Shi Fang looked at each other. What happened?

Qian Jiang was a typical straight man. He walked in without realizing anything. The moment Shi Fang entered, he smelled perfume. Fu Chen usually lit an incense burner of agarwood when he copied scriptures, so he had the smell of sandalwood on him. It was even more impossible for a little monk like Huai Sheng to apply perfume.

As soon as the two entered, they saw that the quilt was slightly raised and female clothes on one side of the bed. They exchanged gazes.

Hiding under the blanket, Sun Rui felt her heart pound when she heard footsteps.

She was very confident in her figure. As long as Fu Chen was a normal man, he wouldn’t be indifferent after seeing her. As long as he saw and touched her, she could cling to him as a matter of course.

Shi Fang walked out and lowered his voice. “Third Master, there’s someone on the bed. I’m afraid it’s…” He pointed at Sun Qionghua’s room, hinting that it was a member of the Sun family.

“How should I handle this?”

The Sun family was not a common small family. They still had to consider the impact on Sun Qionghua.

“Why don’t I inform Second Madam and let her handle this?”

“Why would you inform her…” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and hung up the call. There was a smile on his lips, but it suddenly became cold. “Bundle up the bedsheets with the blanket and throw her out!”

When Sun Rui heard this, she turned ashen with fear. Before she could move…

Qian Jiang had already swiftly pulled up the bedsheets and wrapped her up with the blanket.

“Ahhh! Who are you? What are you doing? Do you know who I am?! Let go of me!” Sun Rui was wrapped entirely in the blanket and carried by someone. Her face was pale from fright.

Qian Jiang raised an eyebrow.

Who are you?

Aren’t you just a shameless woman who climbed into Third Master’s bed?

“Put me down quickly. Third Master, I was wrong. Third Master…”

If she was thrown outside on such a cold day, she would die.

“Help! Auntie, ah—!”

…

Sun Qionghua and Fu Yuxiu, who were packing their things, ran out when they heard the commotion, dumbfounded. When they saw the people coming out of Fu Chen’s room, they understood everything.

Only Huai Sheng looked confused. Why is this auntie wrapped up like a caterpillar?

Sun Qionghua pinched her thigh in anger. This stupid thing. I said so much, but she didn’t listen to me at all. She even ran right into the gun muzzle.

Beijing, Duan residence…

Duan Linbai hadn’t expected that he could still hear gossip about Fu Chen so late at night. He picked up his phone and put it at the corner of his mouth. “Call Little Sister-in-Law for me.”

It was a smartphone, so he could make phone calls with voice commands.

The call went through quickly. Song Fengwan was a little surprised. “Big Brother Duan, why did you think of calling me?”

Because he couldn’t see or send messages, Song Fengwan was afraid that he would be in a bad mood, so she hadn’t contacted him much.

“Little Sister, do you miss Big Brother?”

Song Fengwan smiled. “What’s the matter?”

“How boring.” Duan Linbai was speechless. “I have some gossip to share with you.”

“What?”

“A woman climbed into Fu Chen’s bed.”

Song Fengwan frowned. The first person she thought of was Sun Rui.. Climbed into his bed? Does she have no shame?
