Fu Sinian hadn’t expected Fu Chen to be back so soon. He was even holding a steaming glass of milk.

His brows were furrowed, and his expression was severe, looking like he was angry.

He sighed, feeling sorry for Song Fengwan.

Fu Sinian had a good impression of her from when he picked her up at the train station to when she ate in the Fu residence. She was very obedient and neither timid nor obsequious, and she gave off a comfortable feeling. He treated her purely as a younger sister. There were no girls in the Fu family, and she was docile and obedient. No wonder his grandmother liked her.

This was why when she appeared in Fu Chen’s room, he was a little surprised. His grandfather was happy tonight, and he didn’t want to ruin his good mood, so he wanted to send her away.

She looked gentle and quiet, but he hadn’t expected her to be so ambitious.

But Fu Chen returned at this moment.

“Fu Sinian, who are you talking to?” His voice was cold.

“Song Fengwan, tell him yourself.” Fu Sinian stuffed the book back on the shelf and even thought, This little girl is young but actually chose such a book to read. Is she trying to drop a hint to Third Uncle?

She’s quite smart, but she isn’t using it the right way.

“Me?” Song Fengwan’s heart was trembling from his reprimand. She had yet to snap back to her senses, but he wanted her to speak. What was she supposed to say?

Fu Chen turned around and closed the door. “Tell me what?”

Song Fengwan’s face was blank as she thought about it carefully. Only then did she realize what Fu Sinian meant. Does he think I deliberately ran to Third Brother’s room to climb into his bed?

She turned around and looked at Fu Sinian in disbelief.

From Fu Sinian’s point of view, this look was one of extreme shock and horror.

Upon thinking that it was rare for his grandfather to be so happy, he was afraid that no one would be at peace tonight if this matter was made public. He frowned. “If you don’t explain it, do you want me to open my mouth?

“You’re young, and you should use your thoughts on the right path. You and Yuxiu were engaged before. Aren’t you clear about your relationship with Third Uncle?

“Sever these thoughts that you shouldn’t have as soon as possible.”

Fu Sinian spoke very harshly.

If Song Fengwan was really the kind of person he described, she would probably kill herself out of shame. But when she heard what he said, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She nearly laughed out loud, and her face flushed from holding it in so hard.

“Why are you looking at him? Third Uncle hates this kind of thing the most. Why would he protect you?” Fu Sinian’s face was cold. He already said so much, yet this girl still wasn’t leaving?

“Don’t you know what kind of person Third Uncle is? Are you still waiting for him to kick you out?”

Seeing Fu Chen’s increasingly grim expression, Fu Sinian sighed helplessly, thinking that Song Fengwan was in deep trouble tonight.

But he didn’t know that the one in danger…

… was him.

Fu Chen walked in front of Song Fengwan and passed the glass of milk in his hand to her. “You can’t drink anything cold recently. I just heated it up, so it’s still warm. Drink it and then go to sleep.”

His tone was gentle and loving.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan took the glass of milk and leaned against him. “What should we do? He seems to have misunderstood.”

When Fu Chen passed her the glass of milk, Fu Sinian was stunned.

“Let me introduce her again. She’s your Third Aunt.”

Fu Sinian had lived for 30 years, but this was the first time he had experienced what it meant by ‘rolling thunder and to be struck on the crown by lightning’.

He was really shocked. Song Fengwan isn’t an ordinary young lady, so why is Third Uncle with her…?

The term ‘Third Aunt’ instantly made Song Fengwan blush.

Fu Chen picked up her clothes and passed them to her. “Go back to your room first. I’ll find you later.”

“Okay.” Holding the glass of milk, Song Fengwan took her clothes and walked out the door.

As of now, Fu Sinian’s mind was blank. He’s still going to find her later?

Is he planning to have a clandestine love affair under Grandpa’s and Grandma’s noses?

These two are really too bold.

***

The door closed, and Fu Chen entered the room. He sat directly on a chair, picked up his Buddhist prayer bead bracelet on the table, and stroked the dangling hibiscus stone with his fingertips.

“Third Uncle, you and her…” Fu Sinian thought of himself as a very calm and collected person. In the past, he had learned archery, so he was even calmer than ordinary people. Even so, he was still shocked.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Chen’s tone was gentle and somewhat indifferent.

“You’re asking me what’s wrong? She’s only a senior high school student. She’s not even an adult yet, right?”

Fu Sinian remembered that she was younger than him by 12 whole years.

“She’ll be an adult this year.”

Fu Sinian gave him a cold look. “Besides, she was engaged to Yuxiu before and nearly became your niece-in-law. If Second Aunt finds out that you’re with her now, have you ever thought about Second Uncle’s family’s feelings?”

“It’s fine as long as I feel good about marrying my wife. What does this have to do with their family?” This was Fu Chen’s usual style of speaking and doing things, very eccentric and unreasonable.

“Then, have you thought about what will happen if Grandpa and Grandma find out about this?”

“If you don’t tell them, they won’t know.” Fu Chen’s tone was firm.

Fu Sinian took a deep breath and suddenly remembered something. “Duan Linbai said in the group chat that I would be very interested in Little Sister-in-Law. He only said that because he knows her identity, right?”

Fu Chen didn’t deny it.

“Third Uncle…” Fu Sinian leaned against the bookshelf, reached out to remove his glasses, and pinched his glabella, feeling a terrible headache.

This little girl is only eighteen this year, but I’m already thirty. I have to call her Third Aunt?

This is too upsetting.

Judging by their interactions and the time Duan Linbai mentioned it, they’ve obviously been together for more than a day or two. How old is this girl? How can Third Uncle possibly lay his hands on her? He’s a little insane.

Besides, Grandma once suggested that she marry me too. What kind of rotten mess is this?

“Sinian.” Fu Chen looked at him with a serious expression.

Fu Sinian frowned, not knowing what to say.

“You’ll keep this a secret for me, right?”

“You’ve conned me so many times. Why do you think I should help you?”

“Wanwan will have to take exams soon, and the college entrance exam is in June. I don’t want her to be distracted at this time.”

“Do you have the right to say that?” Fu Sinian sneered. “You knew she was going to take the college entrance exam, yet you still seduced her into falling in love early. Aren’t you the one distracting her?”

“I like her too much, so I can’t help it. I’ve reflected on this before too,” Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.

Fu Sinian didn’t see the slightest trace of shame on his face. Moreover, this indirect method of self-reflection to show off their affection was really asking for a beating.

“Then, when are you planning to come clean with Grandpa and Grandma?”

“When the time is right.”

“What do you plan to do if I insist on telling them?”

Fu Chen smiled at him. “What else can I do?

“When the time comes, don’t blame me for being ruthless as your uncle.

“We grew up together. You should be aware that I have thousands of ways to torture you. If you don’t let me have an easy time, I naturally won’t let you feel comfortable either.

“You know what I’m capable of. Go ahead and try it.”

Fu Sinian felt a chill run down his spine.

He had been caught red-handed, but he controlled and threatened the other party instead. Fu Sinian had never seen anything like this before.

“Third Uncle, are you threatening me?”

“It’s a discussion.” Fu Chen smiled.

“Since I returned to the country, you’ve been targeting me these days. Was it all because of her?” Fu Sinian finally linked up everything that had happened recently. “I have nothing to do with her at all. Why are you so jealous?”

“I was purely displeased.” His tone was matter-of-factly.

Fu Sinian nearly bent and broke his glasses. He’s too arrogant.

If it had been anyone else, he would definitely not have been able to tolerate it. But he was his third uncle. No matter how angry he was, he could only hold himself back.

“Sinian, you won’t have a good ending if you oppose me. You know better than anyone else. She’s your aunt. On account of your lack of knowledge, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said earlier.”

…

When Fu Sinian returned to his room, he felt dizzy.

He turned on his phone and scrolled through the group chat history. Only then did he understand the deeper meaning behind Duan Linbai’s words. Under the unread notifications, there were many messages from Fu Yuxiu.

He was just asking him to plead for leniency in front of his grandparents and even told him how much he liked the girl. He was simply trying to win him over.

What kind of relationship did that girl and Song Fengwan have?

No one could stop Fu Chen from doing what he wanted to do. It was only a matter of time before Song Fengwan entered the Fu family. Fu Yuxiu still wanted to marry that woman?

He’s simply delusional.

Third Uncle can kill him.

Is he stupid? It’s been so long, but he still hasn’t realized Third Uncle treats Song Fengwan differently.

He might not even know how he will die in the future.

He took a shower and turned on his computer to check on the operation of the new software. Someone knocked on the door.

He got up to open the door. “Third Uncle, is there anything else?”

“I forgot to remind you of something.”

Fu Sinian pursed his lips and didn’t speak, guessing that it wasn’t something good.

“In the future, when necessary, you have to cover for us at home.”

Fu Sinian returned to the computer and gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

He’s asking me to help with his affair?

After this, I won’t be able to escape. Third Uncle will definitely drag me down into these muddy waters with him.

In terms of wisdom, schemes, and shrewdness, truly no one can outsmart him. When this matter comes to light in the future, I’ll probably be beaten up as well.. How did I foolishly become an accomplice?
