The news of the Sun family being chased out of the house by Fu Zhongli instantly spread throughout the city along with the biting wind.
Everyone well-informed in the capital knew about it.
The second master of the Fu family was famous for having a good temper, for being refined and polite. He never quarreled with anyone with a red face. To be able to force him to this extent, everyone couldnât help sighing: the Sun family was really capable.
âSecond Brother, what are you going to do? Second Sister-in-Law definitely wonât be able to sit still.â Fu Chen walked into the study. Fu Zhongli was handling some documents, his expression as usual.
âThe most basic thing about being a human is to distinguish between right and wrong. Itâs not wrong for her to protect her maternal family, just like how I will protect you. But when someone does something wrong, you shouldnât indulge them blindly.â Fu Zhongliâs writing never stopped.
âI sent her a message to explain the situation. The Sun family has been too arrogant these years. If they donât suffer some losses, theyâll continue stirring up trouble in the future.
âIf she doesnât understand and throws a tantrum at me, perhaps our values really donât matchâ¦â
The Sun family had done a lot of things in private over the years, and Fu Zhongli had warned them indirectly before. In the past, they had only used some tricks in the business world. This time, they had really gone overboard. If the Sun family still insisted on acting rashly, he couldnât possibly follow suit.
âAs long as you know it in your heart.â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
Fu Zhongli put down his pen and sized him up. People downstairs were tidying up the house, so Fu Chen had gone back to his room to take a shower. He had already changed into a new set of clothes, andâ¦
It looked like a simple outfit with a little pendant, but it also appeared calculated. It was obvious he had dressed up intentionally.
âLooks like you wonât be accompanying me for dinner tonight?â Fu Zhongli smiled.
âI have something to do.â
âIs that young lady from Yuncheng? Which family is she from?â
âSecond Brotherâ¦â Fu Chen frowned.
âI wonât ask or inquire.â Fu Zhongli wasnât that gossipy. He was recently transferring his business abroad to China, so he was very busy too. âBut youâre very unhappy with the Sun family, huh? I just chased them out, and you already got someone to spread the news.â
âItâs not like you donât know what Sun Rui did to me.â
âAre you talking about her climbing into your bed?â
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, looking displeased.
Fu Zhongli propped up his glasses and laughed. âI really canât imagine what you look like asking a girl out. Our familyâs third brother actually knows how to dress up for a date? How rare.
âIndeed, people who fall in love are different. They also know how to be vain.â
Shi Fang stood at the side, cramping up with laughter.?He said Third Master is vain?
This is his biological brother.
âI should go out now.â Fu Chen turned around and left.
Fu Zhongli laughed.?I wonder which young lady is so unlucky to be chosen by this brat.
Fu Chen had always liked to scheme since he was young. As long as he wanted something, he had to get it no matter what. Seeing how diligent he was being, he probably had his heart set on her. Fu Zhongli thought that it would be better if this girl left him hanging and let him suffer a little.
He had been mischievous since he was young. In any case, the matter of him marrying a wife shouldnât go smoothly as he wished.
I hope this girl is tough and gives him some trouble.
At the thought of Fu Chen suffering a silent loss, Fu Zhongli laughed out loud.
***
Fu Chen didnât know what his second brother was thinking at all. He was staring at the time to see when Song Fengwanâs classes would end.
Before her evening self-study session, they should still be able to have dinner together.
Shi Fang was grasping the steering wheel while looking at Fu Chen. âThird Master, Second Master is still very protective of you. When Sun Gongda rushed toward you earlier, he immediately blocked in front of you.â
âIâm the youngest. Shouldnât he do so as an older brother?â Fu Chen looked at his watch and calculated the time.
Yuncheng First High Schoolâs entranceâ¦
Because the dismissal time for every grade was different, when Fu Chenâs car reached the school gates, many students had already walked out in a line. They were all wearing the same school uniform and looked full of youthful energy.
âThird Master, Miss Song hasnât come out yet?â Shi Fang was getting dizzy from watching. They were wearing the same clothes, so he couldnât tell who was who at all.
âMhm.â Fu Chen knew her schedule.
âThere are so many people. How can you see her clearly?â
âItâs okay. I⦠recognize my person,â Fu Chen declared certainly.
Shi Fang was speechless. He was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food.
But when the senior students came out, Fu Chen didnât see Song Fengwan. Only when the students had dinner and started to enter the school gates did Fu Chen get out of the car to checkâ¦
Even when the senior students returned to the classrooms one after another, there was still no sign of Song Fengwan.
âThird Master, why donât you give Miss Song a call?â Shi Fang held back his laughter.?Didnât you say you can recognize your own wife? Go find her for me. Where is she?
Fu Chen took out his phone, but the other party had turned hers off.
âItâs not time for her evening self-study yet. Should we go in?â Shi Fang pointed at the school gates.
âNo.â Fu Chen frowned. That would be too eye-catching.
Fu Chen felt a little defeated that he hadnât spotted his own wife. Qiao Aiyun would definitely pick her up after her evening self-study session. What reason would he have to look for her then? Fu Chen sighed. âLetâs go back first.â
Fu Chen returned home before six, surprising Fu Zhongli greatly.
âArenât you going on a date? So fast. You didnât have dinner together?â He felt that it would be too early to be back even at eight or nine.
Fu Chen remained silent.
âLetâs eat together?â
âIâm not hungry. Iâll go back to my room first.â
Fu Zhongli laughed in spite of himself.?Was he stood up? Just now, when he went out, he was so delighted. Now, he looks dejected. Was he stood up?
Which familyâs young lady is so awesome??He really liked this sister-in-law.
***
Actually, Song Fengwan hadnât gone out at all during that period of time. She had missed four classes in the morning and had to make up for her class notes.
When she finished school at night, Qiao Aiyun was already waiting at the entrance. âThe matter has been resolved. Itâs all thanks to your Second Uncle Fu coming back in time this time.â
âSecond Uncle Fu is back?â Song Fengwan was surprised.
âI heard that he wants to relocate his business overseas to the country and came back to make preparations,â Qiao Aiyun explained. âIt was really a coincidence this time. Otherwise, I really would have been at my witâs end to deal with those kinds of people.â
âMhm.â Song Fengwan had already turned on her phone. There was a missed call from Fu Chen. She thought that he had called her to talk about this matter, so she immediately replied.
[Things are settled. Thank you, Third Brother.]
Fu Chen received the message and smiled knowingly.
He hesitated for a moment before taking his car key and leaving in the end.
Fu Zhongli was still dealing with company matters. When he heard the sound of a car, he frowned slightly and looked at the time. It was already 10 p.mâ¦
What kind of girl has a date in the middle of the night?
Or was she working overtime until now? Thatâs quite tiring.
Fu Zhongli didnât expect that it wasnât about working overtime at all. It was just that Song Fengwan had just finished her evening self-study session.

When Song Fengwan returned home, Yan Wangchuan was watching the evening news in the living room. He was holding one of the red double happiness cups, shocking her straight away.
Heâs really using it?
I really canât understand his straight guy aesthetics.
After greeting him, Song Fengwan went upstairs to take a shower and continue studying. Qiao Aiyun brought her a glass of milk and returned to her room.
Yan Wangchuan was already lying under the blanket at this moment. Qiao Aiyun had told him that there were some things that needed to be done in moderation. She wasnât young anymore, so she really couldnât withstand that kind of torment. He had agreed.
âLetâs sleep.â Yan Wangchuan lifted the blanket for her.
After Qiao Aiyun lay down, there was still a personâs distance between them.
There was a dim yellow night light turned on at the head of the bed. The two of them lay on their backs and were silent for a long timeâ¦
âAiyun?â Yan Wangchuan asked.
âYes?â
âEven if we donât do anything, can I touch you?â His voice was husky, and it echoed heavily in the silent room as he tried his best to restrain himself.
âOkay.â Just as Qiao Aiyun finished speaking, his hand reached over and gently grabbed hers.
His palm was sweaty and hot, as if it was on fire, causing her palm to become covered in a layer of heat too.
âCan I hug you?â Yan Wangchuan didnât wait for her to answer this time and pulled her into his embrace. His body was extremely hot.
Through her pajamas, she could clearly feel the scorching heat. His breathing was hot, thick, and heavy. It landed on her forehead and burned her heart bit by bit, making her body feel weak and powerless.
Qiao Aiyun sighed. âThis is about enough. Itâs time to sleep.â
âOkay,â Yan Wangchuan replied in a muffled voice.
She turned around, her back facing him, and a certain someone plastered against her againâ¦
His whole body was so hot that it was scary, and Qiao Aiyun couldnât take it anymore either.
âYouâre really not doing it?â
âNo.â Yan Wangchuan gritted his teeth. After all, men needed to keep their promises.
Qiao Aiyun was speechless.?Heâs stubborn verbally, but his body is very honest. His little brother is greeting me so enthusiastically. How can I fall asleep?
In the end, Yan Wangchuan was the one who felt the most uncomfortable. Qiao Aiyun didnât wait long before still falling asleep. Recently, she had been worried about the loan sharks, so she hadnât slept well for a few days.
Yan Wangchuan hugged her. He couldnât bear to let go, but he also felt uncomfortable holding it in. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck, trying to relieve some of his pent-up feelings, but it made him feel even more uncomfortable.
After some time, he suddenly heard the sound of a car outside. Not long later, there was movement in the corridor outsideâ¦
Fu Chen is really a bastard. Heâs not letting this child sleep in the middle of the night.
âOhâ¦â Qiao Aiyun was a light sleeper and slowly woke up. âIs there some sound?â
Yan Wangchuan gritted his teeth. âItâs nothing. Go to sleep.â
I canât possibly say that your daughter went out to meet her boyfriend, right?
And itâs the kind of rendezvous with someone in the middle of the night.
