nSong Fengwan had to accompany Qiao Aiyun to try on wedding dresses the next day, so she didn’t have time to accompany Fu Chen. So he pulled Duan Linbai along and stayed up late into the night. After they finished playing chess, Duan Linbai watched the science channel with Fu Chen for a while.

nDuan Linbai sat limply on the sofa and watched a certain someone take out some black wolfberries from an iron box and soak them in hot water.

n“Want some?” Fu Chen turned his head to look at Duan Linbai.

n“No. Only the elderly drink wolfberry water and carry thermos cups around with them to nourish their health.” Duan Linbai was going a little crazy watching TV.

n“This doesn’t just nourish your health.” Fu Chen took a sip of the wolfberry water.

nWhy is there a TV station still broadcasting science and educational shows in the middle of the night? What’s there to see about this damn thing?

nHe looked up and dripped some eye drops into his eyes. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he picked up the yogurt at the side and took two sips.

nI wanna go home… I miss my mommy…

nDuan Linbai took out his phone and checked the health benefits of black wolfberries.

nNourishes the kidneys and strengthens the body?!

nCough, cough— Duan Linbai choked.

nFu Chen turned his head to look at Duan Linbai. “You’re almost thirty, but you choked on milk?”

nDuan Linbai wished he could beat him to death. This beast! Little Sister-in-Law is still so young! What the hell are you nourishing that for?!

n***

nWhen Yan Wangchuan returned home at night, it was already past 1 a.m. He pushed the door open and entered, and warm light shone out. Qiao Aiyun was sitting on the sofa, watching TV. But the TV was almost silent, and it was so quiet that even a pin drop was audible.

nThe sound of the door opening awakened Qiao Aiyun. She looked at Yan Wangchuan and then at the clock on the wall. “You’re back so late?”

n“Why didn’t you go to sleep?”

nYan Wangchuan had called her to say he would be back very late and wanted her to go to bed early. When he saw her waiting for him in the living room, his heart felt warm, but it also ached a little.

n“I couldn’t fall asleep. There’s still soup in the pot, and it’s still warm. Drink some before going to sleep.” Qiao Aiyun walked toward the kitchen.

nYan Wangchuan stared at her back, and his lips slowly curved up.

nAfter the two of them went upstairs, Qiao Aiyun took off her clothes, and there were still some red marks on her arm.

n“What happened?” Yan Wangchuan held her arm.

n“There are too many mosquitoes here. I got bitten and scratched them.” Nanjiang was close to the sea, and the temperature was just right, so there were mosquitoes and flies all year round.

nQiao Aiyun wasn’t someone who liked to cause trouble, so she was fine as long as she stayed away from that mother and daughter. She didn’t intend to tell Yan Wangchuan what had happened tonight.

nWith his temper, he would definitely settle scores with them and make things ugly.

nOthers might even gossip behind her back about how she had just entered the family but was already instigating Yan Wangchuan to bully them. People would definitely gossip about them.

n“Apply medicine.”

n“I already did. Go take a shower.”

nWhen Yan Wangchuan came out of the shower, Qiao Aiyun was already asleep. Since the weather in Nanjiang was hot, she just covered herself with a thin blanket that only covered half of her body, exposing her calves. His eyes darkened as he lay beside her and hugged her.

nQiao Aiyun wasn’t in a deep sleep and snuggled into his embrace.

nPerhaps because she felt uncomfortable, she adjusted her posture and rubbed against him.

nYan Wangchuan opened his eyes and looked at her. I want her.

nBut she has to try on wedding dresses tomorrow, so I can’t do much with her or leave any marks on her body, not to mention that it’s already past two.

nQiao Aiyun could clearly feel a certain someone’s abnormality. She opened her eyes in a daze. “Do you want it?”

n“Sleep!” Yan Wangchuan frowned.

nHe still had a tiny bit of self-control within him.

nQiao Aiyun let out a muffled laugh. The hot air blew against his chest, making Yan Wangchuan exhale deeply…

nAfter sleeping for a while, Qiao Aiyun could still clearly feel that a certain something was still full of vigor.

n“You really don’t want to do it?” She chuckled.

n“Hurry up and sleep!”

nYan Wangchuan was depressed and didn’t sleep well all night. He only got up and went out for his morning exercise when it was almost dawn, while Qiao Aiyun got up to make breakfast. After Old Madam Yan woke up, there was already a steaming hot breakfast on the table. Perhaps because the tastes of northerners and southerners were different, Old Madam Yan wasn’t used to the food, but she was still very happy.

nMoreover, in consideration that Old Madam Yan’s teeth weren’t good, the food Qiao Aiyun made for her was soft and easy to eat.

nMy daughter-in-law is indeed the best.

n***

nAt around nine in the morning, they set off for the bridal shop.

nYan Wangchuan tried on clothes very quickly. Besides, there were not many styles for men’s clothes in the first place. After trying on just a few suits, he had already decided on his suit.

nOn the other hand, Qiao Aiyun kept trying on different wedding dresses. The style she chose was rather conservative since she wasn’t that young after all. But the few dresses she tried afterward made Yan Wangchuan’s eyes burn.

nAt the minimum, they were strapless and exposed her shoulders.

nOne of the dresses even exposed her entire back, and there was even one with a deep V-neck cut…

n“Does it look good?” Qiao Aiyun was currently wearing a strapless white wedding dress with a deep V-neck cut. The design and dress were exquisite and beautiful.

n“Yes,” Song Fengwan and Old Madam Yan said in unison.

nYan Wangchuan’s eyes lit up, but he still frowned and remained silent.

n“Wangchuan, say something. Does it look good?” Old Madam Yan poked at the blockhead sitting beside her.

n“No.”

n“Which part looks bad? I specially chose this.” Old Madam Yan’s expression instantly collapsed. “The styles Aiyun chose are too old. At her age and with her figure, she definitely has to dress as beautifully as possible to highlight her figure.”

n“Why should she highlight her figure?”

n“Because she looks good.” Old Madam Yan harrumphed coldly. “Then, which wedding dress do you like?”

nThen Yan Wangchuan pointed at a wedding dress that Qiao Aiyun hadn’t tried on. It was a design from eight or nine years ago. And not only was the design old, but it was also…

nUgly!

nHis straight-guy esthetics were really terrifying.

nQiao Aiyun didn’t like it either. In the end, she didn’t even try on the wedding dress. Then a certain old man became depressed.

nAfterward, she tried on a few more dresses. Most of the wedding dresses in the bridal shop were cocktail-style dresses, so most of the designs contoured her body well. Yan Wangchuan felt stifled looking at them and wanted to go out for a smoke. But when he thought about how he had quit smoking recently to prepare for pregnancy, his teeth itched in annoyance.

nHe took the wedding candy placed on the table in the bridal shop and chewed on them loudly.

nSong Fengwan also tried on a few gowns, and Qiao Aiyun had even specially taken some photos for her. They were going to take the wedding photos at the beach, so the few of them took a few family portraits in the bridal shop’s canopy. They tried on five or six sets of clothes, and they only finished when the sky darkened.

n…

nWhen Fu Chen received the photos Song Fengwan sent him, he stared at them for a long time.

n“What are you looking at so seriously?” Duan Linbai walked behind him. Just as he took a look, Fu Chen turned off his phone and glared at him.

nDuan Linbai was speechless. Isn’t it just a few photos of Little Sister-in-Law? Do you have to hide them so tightly?

nThis old man’s jealousy is really strong.

n***

nAfter the Yan family of four went back, they had just finished eating dinner when Mother Huang said that the Xiao family had come.

nThere were many people visiting them recently. Other than relatives, there were also many business partners, and the Xiao family was one of them.

n“Show them in.” Since they were already here, it was naturally not good to turn them away.

nIn addition to Xiao Jingan, there was also a middle-aged couple. The three of them entered the house, bringing a lot of gifts. Mrs. Xiao was a sweet talker and chatted warmly with Qiao Aiyun while continuously praising Song Fengwan.

nShe even stuffed a lot of things to Song Fengwan. She was too enthusiastic, and Song Fenwgan couldn’t handle her.

nShe was also flattering Qiao Aiyun in disguise by praising Song Fengwan. This Mrs. Xiao was indeed quite good at social relations.

n“Wanwan, weren’t you going out for a walk to digest your food?” Old Madam Yan saw that she was uncomfortable sitting here, so she wanted her to take a breather.

nSong Fengwan understood what Old Madam Yan meant. “Uncle, Auntie, then I’ll head out first.”

n“Jingan, it’s already so late and dark outside. Go accompany her.” Mrs. Xiao smiled. She obviously had an ulterior motive.

nSong Fengwan couldn’t decline and could only let Xiao Jingan follow her. The two of them weren’t familiar with each other, so it was inevitable that she would feel awkward.

nWhen the two of them left, Mrs. Xiao even smiled and said, “Look at those two standing together. They’re a good match, aren’t they?”

nQiao Aiyun smiled and didn’t say anything while Yan Wangchuan said indifferently, “Wanwan is still young.”

n“I’m just saying. She’s indeed young, and it’s still a little early to talk about marriage.” Mrs. Xiao smiled awkwardly.

n***

nSong Fengwan and Xiao Jingan walked on the beach closest to the Yan residence for a while.

nXiao Jingan kept sizing Song Fengwan up along the way. This girl is indeed formidable. She was different from all the aristocratic young ladies that he had seen. When she was being aggressive, her eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and he couldn’t move his gaze away from her.

nHe felt uneasy, but he also wanted to get closer to her.

nHer attitude toward everyone was lukewarm, and she looked just like an inviolable flower.

nHis parents also hoped to have a marriage alliance with the Yan family, so he specially got someone to tail her and investigate her to see just what kind of person she was.

nHe had originally thought that she was an innocent young lady who didn’t know anything about worldly matters and that she was just a little more capable. He hadn’t expected to really find out something about her.

nHe thought that she had never been in a relationship before, but he didn’t expect her to be so open in private. She was being intimate with two men, yet she pretends to be so cold and aloof in front of me.

nShe’s only been in Nanjiang for a few days, but she’s already hooked up with two men. How impressive.

n“Are you free to go out and play tomorrow?” Xiao Jingan asked.

n“No.” Song Fengwan didn’t want to talk to him at all and was already preparing to go home.

n“Do you have a prior engagement?”

nSong Fengwan ignored him and strode forward.

n“Song Fengwan, you went out with two men yesterday in the afternoon…”

nSong Fengwan stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at him.

nXiao Jingan took out his phone from his pocket and showed her some photos…

nThey were all of her and Duan Linbai, and from certain angles, the two of them looked overly intimate.

n“I know there’s another man.” Because the two of them were in the water at the time, and there were too many people on the beach, she couldn’t be seen clearly. He only knew that the two of them were acting intimately. Thus, the only people in the photos were her and Duan Linbai.

nThe rest of the photos were of them eating in a restaurant. After all, they were in public. So although they did have some intimate actions, there was nothing too out of line.

nBut the three of them were chatting and laughing, so they clearly had a good relationship.

n“Miss Song, what would you say you were doing?” Xiao Jingan saw that she was obviously frightened, and a hint of smugness flashed across his heart.

nSong Fengwan had kicked him and embarrassed him that night. And he still remembered this debt.

nShe’s so open in private, yet she’s still pretending to be innocent in front of me. Is she acting like some chaste woman?

n“You were following me?” Song Fengwan frowned, and her tone became cold and stiff.

n“I was just curious about you.” Xiao Jingan chuckled. “Who are those two people to you?”

nHe didn’t know Fu Chen, and Duan Linbai was wearing thick goggles the entire time, so he basically couldn’t see his entire face. He couldn’t recognize who was who in some of the photos, which were taken from a very far distance.

n“Does it have anything to do with you?”

n“It naturally has nothing to do with me, but your mother probably doesn’t know, right? Besides, you three even entered a hotel halfway and stayed there for more than an hour. The three of you entered the same room. What were you doing?”

nSong Fengwan did accompany Fu Chen back to the hotel, but it was because Duan Linbai’s eyes were uncomfortable, so he wanted to go back and rest. The three of them even played Fighting the Landlord in the room for a while.

n“You don’t want your mother to see these photos, do you?”

n“What exactly do you want?”

n“I’ll ask you out tomorrow.” Xiao Jingan smiled.

nSong Fengwan stared at him and smiled. “When?”

nXiao Jingan was overjoyed. She’s taking the bait so easily? She’s indeed a player.

n“Tomorrow night.” Xiao Jingan leaned over very close to Song Fengwan. When the turbid breath landed beside her ear, Song Fengwan furrowed her brows.

nShe got goosebumps all over her body. So disgusting.

n“Okay.” Song Fengwan smiled at him. “I’ll wait for your call.”

nSince Xiao Jingan asked her out at night, he naturally wanted to do something else. Song Fengwan lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, her expression a little flustered and nervous.

n“Since I promised you, you have to…” Song Fengwan smiled.

n“Don’t worry. As long as you are obedient, no third person will ever see the photos.”

nSong Fengwan nodded.

nWhen the two of them returned, Mrs. Xiao saw that her son was in a good mood, so she thought that they had a chance and was overjoyed. Little did she know that the two of them had their own hidden thoughts and were thinking about how to mess with each other.

nXiao Jingan hadn’t expected Song Fengwan to be so easy to handle. He had originally wanted to find someone to investigate her preferences and find a chance to get close to her. He hadn’t expected that after hiring someone to follow her for an entire afternoon, he would get some juicy news.

nShe’s indeed still a child. She knows to be afraid.

nI thought that since she just graduated from high school, she was still a virgin. But now, it seems like she isn’t anything good herself either.

n***

nAfter Song Fengwan returned to her room, she called Fu Chen, but she didn’t mention anything about being threatened.

nBut Fu Chen had already received Qian Jiang’s message more than ten minutes ago.

nGreasy muscular man and Miss Song are strolling on the beach.

nHe suddenly got close to Miss Song. Very close.

nThe two of them are exchanging looks.

n…

nFu Chen fiddled with his phone. “Shi Fang, help me investigate someone.”

nSoon, he received all the information about Xiao Jingan.

n“Third Master, there’s also something else…”

n“Huh?”

n“Two days ago, he hired a detective agency to follow Miss Song…”

nTwo days ago? Fu Chen held the prayer bead bracelet in his hand and smiled meaningfully.
