nSong Fengwan could only be out for a few hours. Fu Chen had originally wanted to take her out to a good meal, but in the end, she actually entered a spicy hotpot restaurant.

n“My mom has been unwell. As a result, I’ve been drinking bone broth for a few months, so I’ve really been wanting to eat this.” Song Fengwan was worried that Fu Chen wouldn’t eat this, so she probed.

n“Let’s go.” What else could Fu Chen say? Since she liked spicy hotpot, then they’d go and eat it.

nThe sky was completely dark after their meal. The two of them held hands as they walked along the road. They were like an ordinary couple strolling around the streets, but they always had endless things to say.

nSong Fengwan complained to him about how tense and stifling life in senior year was, and he only listened quietly.

n“Why aren’t you saying anything? How did you spend your senior year in high school? What score did you get on your college entrance exam back then?” Only then did Song Fengwan remember that Fu Chen had never talked about his high school life.

nFu Chen squeezed her hand. “When I was in my second year of high school, I went overseas on recommendation.”

n“What about your middle school exam…?”

n“I skipped a grade and didn’t participate.”

nSong Fengwan chuckled. She suddenly felt like not wanting to talk to him anymore.

nWhen the two of them reached the gates of the community, Song Fengwan urged him to leave. In the end, the two of them stuck together intimately, and Fu Chen refused to leave even after sending her near her house.

n“Aren’t you leaving yet?” Song Fengwan was standing under the street lights. She definitely couldn’t bear to part with him, and even her voice was very soft.

n“You want me to leave so badly?”

nTheir eyes met. No one knew who took the initiative to kiss first.

nFu Chen held her waist with one hand and the back of her head with the other. The strength he exerted was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to blend her entire body into his embrace, shackling her to him.

nHow could he bear to leave? He had missed her so crazily these few months that he wished he could bring her home immediately.

nSong Fengwan tiptoed, reached out her hands, and hooked them around his neck. Her soft body pressed against him gently. It felt so delicate and boneless, making Fu Chen’s throat tighten. He hugged her waist fiercely and kept deepening the kiss…

nSuddenly, a car’s headlights flashed past not far away. Song Fengwan hurriedly hid in Fu Chen’s embrace.

n… Like an easily startled bird.

nFu Chen protected her instinctively.

nThe car sped past them without stopping.

nSong Fengwan suddenly laughed out loud and looked up at Fu Chen. “We’re really having a clandestine love affair.”

nFu Chen furrowed his brows.

nHe had never been overly cautious and indecisive in his actions. It was only because he had met her. But if she was already an adult now, he would have long ago…

nShe actually had the cheek to laugh at this moment!

nBehaving timidly while dating was really not his style.

nAfter seeing Song Fengwan off, Fu Chen turned around and left. When he sat in the car to head to the airport, the radio station was actually broadcasting the legal program. It was talking about the appeal for civil rights.

nBecause all of the topics were quite widely discussed, the program was really popular.

n***

nBeijing Software Garden Condominium…

nFu Sinian had taken on a few major projects after Lunar New Year. When he got busy, he would work around the clock. He had been overseas for nearly half a month, and more than a month of his time had been spent in the studio. During the debugging of a system, if any bugs popped up, they had to be corrected in time.

nHe had seldom gone home. He had made a few trips, but he had never bumped Yu Manxi.

nThere was a long May Day holiday for the entire country. When the clients got to rest, he could also take time off in lieu.

nAfter leaving the studio, a few colleagues wanted to go to his place to have a drink. After all, Fu Sinian was unmarried, and his condo was spacious too. They were all brothers who had started their own business together, so they usually had a great relationship and didn’t have to be too careful about offending one another.

nWhen they were driving over, the radio station was also broadcasting the legal program.

nWhen Fu Sinian heard Yu Manxi’s voice, he raised his hand and pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge, his expression unchanged.

n“… Her voice really isn’t bad. Although it’s gentle and charming, it’s not pretentious. It’s comfortable listening to her.”

n“It’s mainly because she looks beautiful. I heard she’s still single.”

n“A group of losers on the internet said: If you get to sleep with Yu Manxi, it’s the equivalent of reaching the pinnacle of your life.”

n“It should be a group of grandparents who want to bring her home as their granddaughter-in-law. My mom likes her so much. You have no idea how popular she is among elderly ladies.”

n…

nFu Sinian exerted some force with his feet, and the car abruptly braked. The few of them were caught off guard and fell forward, especially the person sitting in the front passenger seat. If not for the seatbelt, he would have smacked into the windshield.

n“Boss?”

nThey were dumbfounded.

n“A cat ran past.”

nEveryone was flabbergasted.

nThis is an overhead highway…

nWhere did the cat come from?

n***

nBefore they reached the condominium, they even went to the supermarket next door to buy beer and peanuts. While carrying the stuff upstairs, the group was naturally noisy.

nJust as Fu Sinian was about to open the door, the door opposite him opened.

nA cat darted out. Before the men could react, the cat had already run to Fu Sinian’s feet. “Screech—”

nAfter only a few months, this little kitten had already grown up plenty. It had alternating yellow and white fur, and it was very clean. There was a bow around its neck.

nFu Sinian bent down and scooped the cat into his arms…

nEveryone was dumbfounded.

nF*ck!

nA cold and heartless person like our boss is carrying a cat? This scene is a little thrilling.

n“Mr. Fu.” Yu Manxi walked out.

nShe was wearing wide pajamas that reached her ankles, and only her soft and fair ankles were visible as her slippers shuffled along. She was not wearing any makeup on her face, but she still exhibited a hint of glamor, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were charming and passionate.

nIt had been a very long time since Yu Manxi had seen Fu Sinian. Their schedules were always off, so it was too difficult to bump into him.

nActually, she didn’t major in broadcasting and anchoring. She had become an anchor by complete accident. She had applied for an editorial assistant job at the TV station, but she had been assigned to go out in the field with someone. There was an unexpected incident where she had helped to interview for a news piece, and then she had inexplicably become an anchor…

nBecause it was a live broadcast program, and there had even been two broadcasting accidents, her salary for that month had been deducted until there was nothing left. She had only gotten back on track recently.

nThe salary and treatment were very good, but she had switched to a job she hadn’t trained in. Recently, she had been studying for the certificates for the Mandarin language and to become a TV announcer, so she was also very busy day and night.

nWhen Yu Manxi heard the sound of activity outside, she came out of her condo. She didn’t expect so many people to be at the door. She greeted them with a smile and said gracefully, “Hello.”

nEveryone was taken aback again.

nEveryone looked toward Fu Sinian together!

nBoss, what else are you hiding from us?

n“He-hello!” These people were all technology geeks and weren’t good at dealing with people, so they were a little reserved when facing Yu Manxi.

nFu Sinian opened the door. “You guys go in first.”

nEveryone could only enter first. Before they could even take a look at what was happening outside, a certain someone had already closed the door.

n“I originally wanted to treat you to a meal after finding a job, but you haven’t been home this whole time.” Yu Manxi walked over and took the cat from his arms. “When you’re free, I…”

n“Tomorrow.”

nYu Manxi was taken aback. “Then, I’ll contact you tomorrow. I won’t disturb you anymore.” She smiled and returned to her home.

n***

nAfter Fu Sinian entered the condo, the group had already arranged the beer and some accompanying dishes on the table.

n“Dang! Boss, she’s the one I saw before…” One of them suddenly jumped up. “The one I said who looked incredibly beautiful and was wearing a red down jacket. When she smiles, she looks especially seductive!”

nFu Sinian didn’t say anything.

n“I didn’t even recognize her. She’s different from on TV.”

nOn TV, she naturally dressed seriously and primly, and even her hairstyle was very conservative. She deliberately put on makeup to look older, making her appear more mature and capable.

n“Oh, oh! Boss, I really like her so much! You don’t know, but when she greeted me just now, I even heard my heart beating. I’ve never been so excited before.”

nEveryone who came out for the small gathering tonight was single. Those who were married had all gone home to accompany their wives.

nAlthough it was a small gathering, it was just a group of single people celebrating.

nFu Sinian picked up a can of beer, hooked his finger, and pulled the can tab open. Before the beer foam spilled out, he took two sips. “Don’t mess with her.”

n“Why?”

nThese people all knew that their boss had a person called ‘Little Fish’ on his phone, so they all thought that Fu Sinian already had an ambiguous partner.

n“I’m afraid you guys will get hurt.”

n“I saw that she’s quite approachable. When I saw her on TV, I thought she was an especially cold and haughty person. Besides, my mom likes her a lot. If you can marry a wife like her home, there won’t even be any conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.”

nFu Sinian drank his beer. “Impossible.”

n“Boss, you have to give me a reason, right? Why? Does Miss Yu have a boyfriend?”

nFu Sinian raised his eyebrows. “It’s impossible for her to become your wife.”

nThis person was too excited and retorted, “Even if she can’t become my wife, she can’t possibly become yours, right?”

nFu Sinian glanced at him and placed the beer on the table. “I’ll go get a few plates and fill them with dishes that go well with alcohol.”

nAt this moment, the phone he had placed on the table vibrated.

nLittle Fish: I’m going to the station at noon tomorrow. Can we have dinner together at night?

nEveryone looked at each other and carefully pondered over this information. Station? Little Fish? Yu Manxi?

nThey cursed silently. F*ck…

nThey were instantly thrown into disarray.
