“You’ve been meeting so many young ladies recently. Is there anyone to your liking?” Fu Chen’s voice was very calm and even carried the hint of a smile, just like an amiable elder.

He had grown up with Fu Sinian, and he knew very well what kind of disposition he had. Ever since Fu Sinian was in elementary school, he had never pretended to be nice to girls. To him, computer code was far more attractive than dating.

He hadn’t started working today, so he should have been taking a nap or writing code. But he was actually willing to go out and eat with someone?

This lady was the first.

Fu Sinian’s eyes darkened. Shen Jinye hurriedly lowered his head. I just knew that Little Uncle wouldn’t find people to share a table with him for no reason. He’s f*cking here to cause trouble.

How dark is this person’s heart? Because he’s upset, he doesn’t even let others be happy, and he’s even killing without spilling blood.

I can’t afford to offend this bigwig.

At this time, the best solution was to pretend to be dead and reduce his presence.

When Yu Manxi heard this, she choked on the chili. Her throat was on fire, and she coughed until her eyes were brimming with tears. She picked up the teacup and drank some tea to moisten her throat.

“Didn’t you meet another one last night? I heard from Mom that the young lady isn’t bad. How was your talk? You don’t like her too? Aren’t you too picky?” Fu Chen said.

Yu Manxi’s eyes flickered twice. She lowered her head, her heart aching terribly.

Did he stand me up last night to go on a blind date?

When he said he was busy, he meant that he was busy accompanying his blind date partner? Maybe that girl is really good.

At first, she was quite happy that he was treating her to a meal. But after being battered by these words, she felt terrible. Her heart was sore and bitter, and she was so jealous that she was going crazy. Her throat was so dry that it could burn up, and she couldn’t calm down even after drinking a few mouthfuls of tea.

Fu Chen didn’t know what had happened between the two of them at all, nor did he know that they had arranged to meet last night. It was just a casual remark, but he hadn’t expected it to be such a coincidence.

“Third Uncle, when did you start meddling in my private life?” Fu Sinian bit his cheek tightly to restrain his emotions. He was certain that Fu Chen’s words were definitely a trap.

But he didn’t expect him to mention the blind dates. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the person who kept drinking tea, and his eyes darkened.

“As an elder, it’s only right for me to show concern for you. You’re not young anymore, so it’s time for you to get married and start a family. It will also save Eldest Brother and Sister-in-Law a lot of worry.” Fu Chen put on airs.

“Everyone in the family is very concerned about your marriage. Don’t think that you have nothing to worry about. During this period of time you’ve been back in China, you’ve seen at least twenty to thirty girls.”

Yu Manxi bit her lip, feeling depressed and frustrated. He’s actually been on dates with so many girls?

But from this, she could also conclude that Fu Sinian was indeed single. The two of them had only known each other for a short time, so she was too embarrassed to ask about his private life. It was also possible that he had a girlfriend.

At this moment, she was both sad and happy. She couldn’t describe how she felt.

“Sinian, don’t be too picky. If you meet someone suitable, give it a try. You will only know who suits you after interacting more with them.” Fu Chen smiled.

Fu Sinian tightened his grip on his chopsticks. “Third Uncle, if you have the time to care about me, why don’t you pay more attention to Miss Song? Long-distance relationships aren’t easy.”

Critical strike!

Shen Jinye’s chopsticks trembled. F*ck, he’s fighting back?

Fu Chen chuckled lightly. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

“It’s only right to be concerned about my elders.” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows. “There are a lot of young and handsome men nowadays, and Miss Song is still young. Third Uncle, you should be more concerned about her. I can handle my own matters, so you don’t have to worry about me.

“She’s thousands of miles away, and she’ll be quite busy after returning too. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult just for her to answer calls.

“It’s really tough to foster feelings like this too.” Fu Sinian picked up a piece of beef for him. “Third Uncle, you should nourish yourself more.”

Fu Chen’s fingers tightened around the prayer beads. He raised his chopsticks and picked up some beef in sour soup for him. “You usually have to work all day, and yet you still have to find time to meet four or five girls. It’s difficult for you too. Eat more.”

…

All through the meal, Shen Jinye and Huai Sheng lowered their heads and ate quietly.

When deities fought, they had to avoid a little. If they didn’t handle it well, they might bring a ‘fatal disaster’ to themselves.

The two of them were talking with knives and rods between them, and every word they said pierced into each other’s hearts. It was only when Fu Chen’s phone rang and he looked at the caller ID did his eyes instantly soften and become gentle.

He got up and went outside to answer the call. “Hello, Wanwan.”

Just now, he was still crossing swords with Fu Sinian. But now, he was extremely gentle.

Yu Manxi looked up at his back. Wanwan? His girlfriend?

Seeing him talk with Fu Sinian, she knew that he liked this person a lot. I wonder which lady is so lucky?

Yuncheng Airport…

Song Fengwan had just gotten off the plane. As Qiao Aiyun and Yan Wangchuan were standing by the conveyor belt and waiting for the luggage, she walked a little farther away and called Fu Chen.

“I got off the plane.” She lowered her head and stared at her toes. Her tone was gentle, coquettish, and even softer than usual.

“Mhm.” Fu Chen was standing by the corridor of the restaurant, avoiding the noisy crowd. “Are you tired?”

“I’m fine. Have you eaten yet?”

“I’m eating now.”

“At home?” Song Fengwan kicked her feet and looked at Qiao Aiyun, who was not far away, from time to time. She inexplicably had the terrible feeling of being a thief.

“I met Sinian outside. We’re eating together.”

“What are you eating? Is it delicious?”

“Hunan cuisine. It’s alright.” Fu Chen wasn’t in the mood to eat at all, so the food he ate was dull and tasteless.

“Alright?” Song Fengwan frowned.

“I miss you so much.” Fu Chen lowered his voice, sounding exceptionally solemn and experienced.

Song Fengwan’s ears were burning a little as she responded lightly.

“The taste of this restaurant is okay. If you like, I’ll bring you here the next time you come.” Fu Chen reached out his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He hadn’t slept all night last night, and his head was throbbing from Fu Sinian’s provocation just now. Little brat, do you know how to respect your elders?!

“Sure.” Song Fengwan smiled and nodded.

“Wanwan…”

“Yes?”

“Say that you miss me too…”

Song Fengwan’s heart raced. How can someone speak like this?

Her face flushed red as she hesitated about what to say.

Young ladies were always a little reserved and shy, so they were a little embarrassed to blurt out their feelings.

“Third Brother, I…” Song Fengwan bit her lip. She loved him, but it was difficult for her to voice it out.

“Wanwan, we’re leaving.” Qiao Aiyun waved her over.

“Third Brother, my mom is calling me. I’m hanging up now.” With that, Song Fengwan hung up, not allowing him to speak at all.

Fu Chen held his phone and smiled. This silly girl. She can hide for now, but she can’t hide forever. What’s the use of evading?

When he returned to the dining table, his phone vibrated. He received a WeChat message from Song Fengwan.

He clicked on it.

Accompanying the screen full of little stars was a message from Song Fengwan: I miss you.

Fu Chen suddenly laughed out loud.

But it scared Shen Jinye silly. During the whole journey, Fu Chen had a cold and heavy expression on his face, so he had been extremely cautious when speaking to him. And as soon as the latter saw Fu Sinian, he had started tearing into him so brutally. Why is he suddenly smiling so brightly?

Everyone said that love could turn people into fools, but he felt that love could turn people into lunatics.

His little uncle was already difficult to deal with, and now he was also unpredictable. He was too scary.

***

After the five of them finished eating, they parted ways in the underground parking garage. Yu Manxi obediently bid farewell to Fu Chen and the others one by one before following Fu Sinian to get the car.

Fu Sinian took out his car key, unlocked the truck, and opened the driver’s door.

Yu Manxi hesitated for a moment before opening the back door of the truck.

Fu Sinian held the car door with his fingers and said in a dull voice, his tone so indifferent that it was a little cold, “Miss Yu, do you treat me as your driver? Sitting in the back?”

“I…” Yu Manxi closed the door, climbed into the front passenger seat obediently, and sat down properly.

“Seat belt.” Fu Sinian frowned.

Even until they reached the condo building, the two of them didn’t speak. Yu Manxi was a little depressed, and she was too embarrassed to say anything. After all, the two of them didn’t have any relationship.

Her unhappiness was written all over her face. When they took the elevator to the 16th floor, she said, “Goodbye, Mr. Fu.”

With that, Yu Manxi walked to her condo.

Fu Sinian hooked his fingers around the key. “Miss Yu, you don’t want Niannian anymore?”

Yu Manxi’s heart skipped a beat. She was scared out of her wits. Her fingers slipped, and the key slid from her fingers and fell to the ground. The sound was extremely loud, and it made her heart tremble.

“Your cat is still with me.” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows, his expression as silent and indifferent as usual.

“Oh.” Yu Manxi bent down to pick up the key in frustration.

The little kitten she had just started raising was very clingy. It had clung to Fu Sinian’s pants and refused to leave. When the two of them left, it had curled up on the sofa and fell asleep, so the two of them hadn’t woken it up.

If he hadn’t reminded her, she would even have forgotten that she had a cat.

“You don’t want Niannian anymore?” Fu Sinian asked.

Yu Manxi took a deep breath, somewhat regretting giving the cat this name.

“I do.” She gritted her teeth.

Both Niannians…

I want.

Fu Sinian’s lips slowly curled up imperceptibly..
