In the farm restaurant’s private room…

Everyone was sitting together. With Duan Linbai livening up the atmosphere, they naturally didn’t feel awkward. Song Fengwan was sitting beside Miss Xu, who had already taken off her mask.

She didn’t apply anything. Her skin was fair, so the red spots on her lower jaw were even more obvious.

“When will Hanchuan arrive?” Fu Chen held a cup of tea, his expression calm.

“Soon. He said around twenty minutes,” Duan Linbai replied.

“I’m going to the restroom.” Miss Xu suddenly stood up and grabbed her bag. Just as she opened the door of the private room, she bumped into someone.

Jing Hanchuan recognized her eyes and looked down at her from above. She was wearing a long black dress, revealing her figure. Her slender shoulder straps hugged her thin shoulders, making her look aloof and noble.

“Sixth Master.” She took a step back and let him in.

The man’s height always revealed an invisible advantage. When he looked down at her, it made her scalp and heart tremble.

She was short and had a thin figure. Because her bones were small, her hands looked meaty. The ends of her eyes were slender, and her eyebrows were gentle. Her slightly pursed lips were lightly colored…

They were just like a begonia blooming at the beginning of the year. They were simple and elegant, but they also exuded an inexplicable beauty.

She slightly lowered her head uneasily, and her long hair fell to cover the allergy spots on her face.

She had an allergic face, so no one would stare at her. It was rude.

Jing Hanchuan nodded lightly and found an empty seat to sit down. There was a seat between him and Song Fengwan, and beside her happened to be Miss Xu.

When she returned from the restroom, she saw Jing Hanchuan sitting beside her seat, and she looked even more nervous. When she sat down, the corner of her clothes inevitably rubbed against his.

Jing Hanchuan sized her up from the corner of his eye. She was fair and had thin arms. When her hands held her skirt, her legs were also very thin, as if he could hold them with one hand.

Her hands were meaty, but there was no meat on her body.

Jing Hanchuan compared her hands to Song Fengwan’s slender and long fingers and suddenly let out a low laugh, making Miss Xu blush inexplicably.

Why is he laughing?

They were very close to each other. His voice seemed to stir the air and hit her heart, making her feel uneasy.

“Everyone is here, and the dishes are served. Let’s eat,” Duan Linbai said.

“Miss Xu, Wanwan and I will toast you with tea in place of wine. Thank you for your help previously.” Yu Manxi and Song Fengwan stood up at the same time.

“You’re too polite. It’s what I should do.” She wasn’t familiar with the people in the room, so she seemed a little reserved.

After some pleasantries, everyone started eating. Duan Linbai carried the atmosphere the whole time. Jing Hanchuan didn’t eat much. He lowered his head and chatted with his father.

He just asked where he was.

He was engrossed in replying when he suddenly saw something reaching toward him from the corner of his eye. He grabbed it instinctively.

It was a woman’s hand!

It was soft, warm, and smooth.

His first thought was that it was small and felt good.

It was so tender that it seemed like it could be broken in an instant.

Jing Hanchuan’s palm was broad and slightly calloused. When he rubbed it, it felt a little itchy.

The woman’s wrist was slender and tender.

“What are you doing?” Jing Hanchuan turned his head to look at her.

Miss Xu, whom his hand was holding, was dumbfounded. An inexplicable heat spread from her heart to her limbs and bones. Her head was in a daze. She tried to pull her wrist back, but he was too strong, and she couldn’t move it.

“I’m asking what you want to do.” Jing Hanchuan was very wary of people. Seeing her struggling, he suddenly exerted force on her wrist and almost pulled her over.

She arched her back slightly. From his angle, he could see the beautiful curves under her exquisite collarbone…

He raised his eyebrows and locked his gaze on her.

He exerted more force. His palm felt a little hot, burning her wrist.

“I say, Hanchuan, what are you doing?” Duan Linbai said stiffly.

Jing Hanchuan glanced at the dining table and found that everyone was staring at him in surprise.

“I just want to get some vinegar…” Miss Xu pointed at the person beside Jing Hanchuan.

The vinegar was on Duan Linbai’s side. The two of them had to pass by Jing Hanchuan to hand over the bottle. Who knew that he would suddenly grab her hand…

Does he think I’m going to attack him?

He’s so guarded.

“Why are you still holding the young lady’s hand? If you continue holding it, you will have to be responsible for her!” Fu Chen smiled and teased. “What? You’re not letting go?”

Only then did Jing Hanchuan let go.

“What do you need? I’ll help you.”

Everyone at the table let out muffled laughter. What a blunder.

“I want the vinegar…” Miss Xu’s voice was hoarse as she reached out to rub her wrist. Just now, when he was holding her wrist, she didn’t feel that it was very hot. But now, it was burning hot.

Toward the end of the meal, the atmosphere on Jing Hanchuan’s side became a little strange.

When they were almost done eating, Song Fengwan took out her phone. “Boss, let’s add each other on WeChat. My roommate’s birthday is in a few days, so I want to order a cake from you.”

“Sure. If you order in advance, give me the address, and I can deliver it.”

“Okay.” Beijing University was a distance away from the dessert shop. If the shop could deliver it to her doorstep, it would naturally be better. “Our school is a little far.”

“It’s alright. I have a small car for transportation. I can deliver anywhere in the capital.”

“You can deliver anywhere in the capital?” Jing Hanchuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.

“Yes.” She glanced at the person beside her from the corner of her eye.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the two of them because everyone knew that Jing Hanchuan liked sweets…

Jing Hanchuan didn’t disappoint everyone and said directly, “Give me your contact info.”

Duan Linbai almost spat out his water!

F*ck, Hanchuan took the initiative to ask for a woman’s contact info?

This is unprecedented.

“Erm, should I scan you?” She held her phone and opened WeChat…

Under everyone’s witness, the two of them added each other as friends.

Before everyone separated, Jing Hanchuan left early. Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi stayed behind to settle the bill and send Miss Xu back to her store.

She was waiting at the door when she saw someone running over.

“Miss Xu.”

“Hello.” From the way this person was dressed, it was obvious that he was from the Jing family.

“Sixth Master gave this to you as an apology.” The man handed her a goldfish bag. There were seven goldfish in it, all with red tails. They were very beautiful.

“This…”

“Don’t be polite. It’s not valuable.” The man stuffed the bag of fish into her hands and left.

She lowered her head and stared at the goldfish with a smile.

***

She and Jing Hanchuan had added each other as friends, but they didn’t chat until two days later when her phone vibrated…

Jing Hanchuan: Ordering dessert.

Her heart skipped a beat. What would you like?

Jing Hanchuan ordered a few things. What’s your name? I’ll leave a note.

After a long time, there was a reply.

Xu Yuanfei.

Jing Hanchuan stared at the message for a long time. The name isn’t bad.

Do you need me to deliver it?

Jing Hanchuan glanced at his parents not far away from the corner of his eye. No need. I’ll go get it later.

But Jing Hanchuan went to the store a few more times, but he didn’t see her. The store clerk said that the lady boss was preparing for the Fu family’s wedding. She was very busy recently, so she might not come to the store.

“Sixth Master, you’ll definitely see Miss Xu at the Fu family’s wedding.”

Jing Hanchuan turned his head to look at the person behind him. “Why do I want to see her?”

The few of them were dumbfounded. You don’t want to see her?

In that case, why have you been coming here so diligently recently? Are you sure you don’t have any special thoughts?

Xu Yuanfei was indeed busy with the Fu family’s wedding recently. The venue had started to be decorated. She needed to make some snacks and think about some new varieties, so she rarely went out.

Song Fengwan had sent her a message to order a cake, so she had only gone out once to deliver it.

“Big Sister, thank you for making the trip.” Song Fengwan and Miao Yating were waiting at the school gates. They were going out to celebrate Hu Xinyue’s birthday tonight.

“You’re welcome.”

Xu Yuanfei saw that she was carrying a plastic bag that seemed to contain fish food. “You raise fish?”

“They were given to me. Didn’t Sixth Master give you some too?”

“Yeah, but I don’t know how to raise them. I saw on Baidu that the breeding season for northern goldfish is from April to June. Will they give birth to small fish? Should I prepare anything?”

“No need. Sixth Master only buys male fish.”

Xu Yuanfei was dumbfounded. They’re all male? Unexpectedly, she suddenly laughed softly.

“He’s quite cute and fun.”

Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. Isn’t it because he’s become weird after being single for so long?

***

As the Fu family’s wedding approached, the capital became very lively. Even Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Aiyun came personally. But Little Mr. Yan was too young, and it was troublesome to take a plane, so he stayed in Nanjiang and was taken care of by Old Madam Yan and the nanny.

The couple had come all the way from Nanjiang. Dai Yunqing had originally planned to go to the airport to pick them up personally, but she was busy with all kinds of things.

Thankfully, Fu Chen said, “Eldest Sister-in-Law, I’ll go pick them up. I’m familiar with them too.”

“Then, I’ll have to trouble you. I really can’t leave now.” Dai Yunqing kept thanking him.

Old Master Fu listened quietly at the side. His parents-in-law are here. Isn’t he rushing to please them?
