Chapter 268: Chapter 268 - Kissing While Being Peeped At, Killing to Silence?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Fengwan woke up at ten o’clock the next morning. She only had five days to celebrate Lunar New Year, and she had to return to school for evening self-study on the third day of the first lunar month. Qiao Aiyun didn’t disturb her and let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

Today was already the twenty-ninth day of the last lunar month, and tomorrow was Lunar New Year’s Eve, so Fu Chen would definitely be leaving today. Song Fengwan washed her hair and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. She changed four or five sets of clothes before going downstairs. It was already past eleven o’clock.

Fu Chen was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Yan Wangchuan. Yan Shaochen had arrived at some point and was sitting blankly beside Yan Wangchuan, looking slightly nervous.

His sitting posture was very deferential, as he felt a little at a loss when facing a big shot.

Fu Chen was the model idol of a generation of young entrepreneurs. Yan Shaochen had also started his own business and had always treated him as a goal to strive for, so he was a little nervous when interacting with his idol up close.

Listening to him chatting with Yan Wangchuan, he could feel that he had received an excellent education from his carefully chosen words. Even when he critiqued the problems in society, the sharpness of his words didn’t make people feel uncomfortable. His diction displayed his high EQ.

“Uncle Yan, Third Master, Big Brother Yan.” Song Fengwan greeted them one by one.

“Mhm.” Yan Wangchuan nodded silently, still looking aloof and expressionless.

Fu Chen smiled at her.

But Yan Shaochen’s heart skipped a beat.?Calling me Big Brother…

I can’t accept it.

He could only smile awkwardly and lower his head to drink his tea.

“Wanwan, come here,” Qiao Aiyun called her into the kitchen.

Old Madam Yan was also in the kitchen. Qiao Aiyun didn’t dare to ask her for help and only chatted with her for a while.

“Why did you only wake up now? Have some soup to fill your stomach first. We’ll be eating in a bit.” After all, there were guests outside. Qiao Aiyun lowered her voice and scooped a bowl of old duck soup for her.

“It’s rare for her to have a break. Let her sleep more.” Old Madam Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at Song Fengwan. It was rare to see her change out of her school uniform. She was wearing a long red printed floral dress and a festive red sweater, complementing her red lips and white teeth, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Perhaps because she had slept late last night, her eyes were a little red, and the ends of her eyes were touched with rosiness. She looked exceptionally seductive.

The more Old Madam Yan looked at her, the more she liked her. “Wanwan is really beautiful. I wonder which young man will be lucky in the future.”

It was unknown if Song Fengwan’s face was red due to the hot soup or purely shyness, but it was so red that it was tempting.

“She’s still young. It’s too early to talk about this.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.

“By the way, does Fu Chen really not have a girlfriend?” Old Madam Yan lowered her voice and pointed outside.

Qiao Aiyun said, “I don’t think so. I haven’t heard of it.”

“He’s not young anymore. The eldest grandson of Old Fu isn’t married yet either, is he? Is he already thirty?”

“Around there, I guess.” Qiao Aiyun raised her eyebrows and thought of Fu Sinian’s age. “Nowadays, people in big cities are getting married later. There are also many people getting married in their thirties.”

“Are these children’s standards too high now? It’s a pity I don’t have anyone suitable by my side either. Otherwise, I would introduce someone to him. Fu Chen really isn’t bad. He is tactful and also has his own career…”

Old Madam Yan sighed.

“Actually, our Yan family really has someone of marriageable age whom I can introduce to Fu Chen. I just don’t think they’re compatible. He probably won’t like her. One lives in the north, and the other lives in the south. If she gets married far away, her family probably won’t agree…”

Song Fengwan directly choked on the soup and put down the bowl, coughing violently.

“Why are you drinking in such a hurry? No one is snatching it from you.” Qiao Aiyun frowned and reached out to pat her back.

Song Fengwan smiled sheepishly and wiped her mouth.

***

After lunch, Fu Chen planned to go back. Qiao Aiyun had specially woken up early today and gone out to buy a lot of Yuncheng specialties for him to bring along. Fu Chen couldn’t refuse, and they filled up the entire trunk.

“Mom, I’ll send Third Master off.” Song Fengwan had already put on her down jacket.

The two of them had spent the longest time together, so their relationship was naturally good. Qiao Aiyun didn’t think much about it and let her send Fu Chen to the entrance of the villa community.

Fu Chen and Song Fengwan slowly walked toward the entrance while Shi Fang and Qian Jiang drove slowly behind them.

The two of them were moving at a tortoise-like speed. The car was inching forward too slowly, and the engine even stalled a few times, making Shi Fang feel very depressed.

“For this short distance to the entrance, are these two planning to walk until next year?

“Look at Third Master’s tender and affectionate gaze. If Old Master or Old Madam saw this, their jaws would definitely drop.

“It’s broad daylight, so the two of them still have to be reserved. Why don’t they find a place with no one around and slowly flirt?

“It’s a pity there’s no grove here. Otherwise, they could have chatted while holding hands.”

…

Before Shi Fang could finish speaking, Fu Chen really grasped Song Fengwan’s hand and walked toward an alley between two villas. It was almost the new year, so it was quite clean.

“Third Brother.” Song Fengwan looked around and was so frightened that her breathing grew rapid.

This was near her house. It would be terrible if someone saw her.

Just as she was panicking like a thief, she suddenly heard Fu Chen call out softly, “Wanwan—”

The moment she turned her head, Fu Chen pressed her against the wall. His hot and moist breath blew past her forehead and nose, and his slightly cold lips pressed against hers…

Song Fengwan was stunned. Her slightly opened mouth gave him an opportunity to exploit. He was a little anxious as their lips and tongues intertwined, and their bodies were ambiguous.

He held her waist with one hand and kissed her passionately, as if there was an invisible flame…

The entire journey was like setting a prairie ablaze, causing even her bones to go limp.

Both of them knew that they would be separated for a period of time, so Song Fengwan slowly responded. The two of them were currently in a heated fight.

On the other side, Yan Shaochen bade farewell to Qiao Aiyun and the others. Everyone here was an elder, so he felt reserved staying behind. It was better for him to go back to the hotel and be at ease. He had originally driven Yan Wangchuan’s car, but it had been sent for maintenance in the morning and hadn’t been returned yet. He could only walk out of the community on foot and find a taxi to go back to the hotel.

Yuncheng wasn’t as warm as Nanjiang. It was so cold that his entire body was shivering.

After walking for seven minutes, he saw Fu Chen’s car parked by the roadside. It was difficult to ignore the impressive Beijing license plate. He narrowed his eyes.?He left almost twenty minutes ago. Why is he still in the community?

He subconsciously looked around…

… and was immediately dumbfounded.

In an alley, Fu Chen was pressing Song Fengwan against a cement wall.

Even though there was a distance separating them, he could still feel the heat of their lips and tongues intertwining. Fu Chen had his head lowered while Song Fengwan was slightly passive. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, making them look ambiguous and stirring the flames.

A gust of cold wind blew, catching Yan Shaochen off guard and causing him to sneeze.

Fu Chen turned his head abruptly, and their eyes met. Yan Shaochen shrank back in fright.

Song Fengwan was worried and embarrassed as she huddled in Fu Chen’s embrace. “It’s over. I told you to hurry up.”

But having been interrupted, both of them lost their mood.

Fu Chen reached out to rub the top of her head and kissed her twice. “Go back. You don’t have to send me to the entrance.”

“Then, he…” Song Fengwan was embarrassed and disgruntled.

“I’ll take care of it.” Fu Chen pecked the corner of her lips again before letting her go.

Song Fengwan was nervous and glanced at Yan Shaochen not far away.

Although he knew that the two of them had an intimate relationship, it was another matter for him to see them kissing. The impact on him was too great. His body trembled, and he turned around to leave, but someone suddenly blocked him.

It was the burly man he had seen the other day.

Yan Shaochen tried to walk past him and leave. But as soon as he moved, Qian Jiang shifted an inch too.

“Mr. Yan, get in the car. Let’s talk.” Fu Chen had already walked over.

Yan Shaochen was practically dragged into the car by Qian Jiang.

The heating in the car was sufficient. Fu Chen picked up his prayer bead bracelet. “You saw it?”

“Third Master Fu…” Yan Shaochen had guessed that the two of them might have that kind of relationship, but seeing it with his own eyes was another matter.

“I heard Wanwan mention you last night. You tried to help her sleep, so I thank you on her behalf.”

“It’s what I should do. You’re being too polite.” Yan Shaochen couldn’t snap back to reality and even felt dizzy.

“I can tell that you’re a smart person. There are some things that don’t need to be explained clearly. You know what to do, right?” Fu Chen said rather nonchalantly as fingertips slid across the prayer beads.

Even if Fu Chen didn’t say anything, Yan Shaochen wouldn’t dare to expose his matter. He wasn’t that insensible.

“Rumor has it that I’m cold and heartless, that I look kind on the outside but have a ruthless heart. It’s all true.” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

Yan Shaochen’s heart skipped a beat. “I understand.”

Fu Chen raised his hand to signal Qian Jiang to stop driving.

“Since you understand, let’s end the conversation here. You should get out of the car now. I’ll catch the plane too.”

Yan Shaochen said goodbye to him and hurriedly got out of the car.

After watching Fu Chen’s car leave, he was dumbfounded.?Where the f*ck did he take me? This is the road to the airport. There’s not a single car on the road, yet he abandoned me just like this?

He was stranded in the wilderness, and he wasn’t from Yuncheng either. At this moment, he couldn’t even differentiate directions. The chilly wind howled, so cold that it made his bones tremble.?Third Master Fu is really…

… cold and heartless. He threw me away after using me up.

Song Fengwan had just arrived home and was peeling a tangerine with her head lowered when she received a message from Fu Chen.

[The person has been dealt with. Don’t worry.]

Song Fengwan mumbled while eating.

Person… dealt with?

Why does it sound so much like killing someone to silence him?

***

On the way back, Fu Chen received a call from Fu Wan asking when he would be returning home, and she mentioned the Sun family in passing.

“… Second Brother is back?” Fu Chen lowered his head and stroked the tassel on the prayer bead bracelet.

“He arrived home yesterday, and he’s still talking to Dad in the study. Say, how do the Sun family raise their children? These two people are still siblings in name, after all. How could they do such a sordid thing? When I heard about this incident last night, I was incredibly disgusted.”

Fu Wan naturally didn’t know the details and only understood some things through the media.

Fu Chen chuckled lowly without saying anything.

“Also, what did Sun Gongda do? Why was he arrested? This family has really lost all dignity this year!” Fu Wan felt that it was unbelievable and sighed.

“Did Second Sister-in-Law come back?”

“Heh—” Fu Lin sneered. “She called herself and said she wouldn’t be coming back for the new year. If she came back at this time, wouldn’t she be slapping our Fu family in the face? Don’t mention about coming back. Up until now, she hasn’t even called once. She sure can hold it in.”

“If the Sun family falls and can’t be helped back on their feet, she can’t possibly offend our family because of this. She’s not stupid,” Fu Chen analyzed.

“That’s true. But I can see that Second Brother isn’t in a good mood. There are even nail marks on his neck. They must have quarreled. Second Brother is such a cultured person. I really didn’t expect Sun Qionghua to dare to lay her hands on him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Back then, Second Brother really liked Sun Qionghua and tolerated her in all aspects. After being married for so many years, how did their relationship become like this?

“I have a feeling that they have a lot of conflicts as a couple…”

Fu Chen pursed his lips. “Every family has its own problems. Only the couple knows the specifics.”

“Let me tell you something. Don’t mention the Sun family in front of him. It’s fine if Sun Qionghua is being difficult, but Yuxiu is the same. He isn’t young anymore, yet he’s so ignorant in the ways of the world. Not coming back for the new year?”

“I, your brother-in-law, Dad, Mom, and Sinian—even Eldest Brother and Sister-in-Law—have all called to tell him that he should come back for the new year. But it just didn’t get through to him at all.

“He said that he wants to accompany Second Sister-in-Law. But I think that he has some complaints about our Fu family at the bottom of his heart. After all, no one in the family supports his relationship, and he was even beaten up by Dad and sent to the hospital because of it.”

Fu Chen nodded, agreeing with her.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

At this moment, the car had arrived at the airport. The three of them entered the airport and checked in the luggage containing local specialties in the trunk. Only then did Fu Chen look at Shi Fang and Qian Jiang.

“It’s almost the new year. It’s been hard on you guys this year too.”

“Third Master, what are you saying? It wasn’t hard at all.” Shi Fang smiled. They were also paid for this, and their income was much higher than others. It was natural for them to work a little harder.

“I’ll get the company’s accounting department to transfer your year-end bonuses to your bank accounts later.”

“Thank you, Third Master.” He was overjoyed. After all, Fu Chen had always been generous to them, so his year-end bonus definitely wouldn’t be low.

“In the past, I always gave you guys seven days off for the new year. This year is a little special. Shi Fang will still be on vacation as usual. Qian Jiang…” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. “If you stay in Yuncheng, you’ll get triple overtime pay.”

Qian Jiang frowned. “Third Master…”

“If you’re not satisfied, how about four times?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Let’s remain at three times then. I’ll leave the responsibility of guarding Wanwan to you. I think most highly of you.”

Qian Jiang nodded. He knew that Third Master thought highly of him. That was why he entrusted Song Fengwan’s safety to him. But not being able to take his annual leave…

He was very unhappy.

Shi Fang held back his laughter..?Third Master definitely did it on purpose.
