Fu Sinian said, âMy girlfriend.â
The living room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Yu Manxi was so shocked by him calling her his girlfriend that she almost suffocated. She came here today to talk to Fu Sinian about what had happened last night. But before she could speak, she became his girlfriend?
Did I agree?
Meanwhile, Song Fengwan was dumbfounded by him calling her Little Aunt, and her ears were slightly red.
Hearing the commotion outside, Fu Chen thought that the food had arrived. But when he opened the door and went out, he saw a man and two women in the living room, including his wife. The two women were red-faced and red-eared.
âWhatâs wrong?â Fu Chen walked out with a calm expression.?What did this brat do to make my wife blush?
âThird Brother, thisâ¦â Song Fengwan hurried to Fu Chenâs side, not knowing how to explain the current situation.
Yu Manxi had eaten with Fu Chen before. At the time, she knew that he was Fu Sinianâs uncle, but she didnât know that he was the famous Third Master Fu.
Previously, she had confirmed Fu Sinianâs identity, which was how she figured out who Fu Chen was. At this moment, seeing Fu Chen, she inexplicably felt nervous.
After all, the rumors about Fu Chen in the capital werenât very good.
Her gaze swept past him and Song Fengwan casually.
Fu Chen looked to be in his mid-twenties. Although Song Fengwan was still a little childish, girls matured a little early after all. She was nestling up against him obediently. She initially thought this scene would be weird, but there was an indescribable sense of harmony.
âThird Master Fu,â she called softly.
Fu Chen nodded in response. He held Song Fengwanâs hand and squeezed it gently. âMiss Yu, are you here to look for Sinian?â
âYes.â Yu Manxi lowered her head shyly, not knowing how to face these two.
Fu Sinian was also a person who wasnât good with words. As the host, he wasnât attending to the guests, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
At this moment, the doorbell rang againâ¦
âIt must be the food.â Song Fengwan coughed twice and went to open the door.
â¦
Because they had ordered hotpot, there were a lot of things. Yu Manxi braced herself and went to help. Her fingertips accidentally touched the back of Fu Sinianâs hand. The back of his hand was warm, and she was so frightened that her fingers shrank back and almost dropped the food box in her hand.
âBe careful.â Fu Sinian calmly took the food box from her.
Yu Manxi only felt that his fingertips were scorching hot.
It felt as though a thin electric current had passed through his arm and went straight to her chest, making her heart beat wildly.
âYou two eat. Iâllâ¦â Fu Sinian had said that she was his girlfriend. Yu Manxi was in a daze and had yet to regain her senses.
âEveryone should stay and eat. Thereâs so much food. We wonât be able to finish it all. Is it because you have guests at home? Or do you have a date tonight?â Song Fengwan still wanted to ask her for an autograph. Besides, since the two of them were a couple, it wasnât inappropriate to stay for dinner.
Before Yu Manxi could speak, Fu Sinian pulled out the seat beside him. âSit.â
His tone was cold, and his attitude was domineering.
Yu Manxi had kissed him forcefully yesterday when she was drunk. She was feeling guilty and didnât dare to disobey him, so she could only sit beside him.
Boiling hotpot required time. The four of them sat together, and the atmosphere was indescribably strange. Fu Chen opened a bottle of plum juice from the hotpot restaurant and motioned to Yu Manxi. âDo you want any?â
Yu Manxi was flattered. âIâll do it.â
Fu Chenâs attitude was firm, so she could only hand him a cup. Fu Chen poured plum juice for her and Song Fengwan before looking at Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi mischievously. âAre you very familiar with each other? You went out to eat together last time. Why are you here this time?â
âWeâ¦â Yu Manxi was about to explain when Song Fengwan interrupted her.
âWhat do you mean very familiar? He just said that⦠theyâre a couple. How can you act like this as his uncle?â She pressed against Fu Chenâs arm to tell him to stop spouting nonsense.
âWhen did you start dating?â Although the two of them had had intimate interactions before, Fu Sinian didnât say that they were already in an official relationship. Fu Chen thought that based on Fu Sinianâs personality, the two of them might still be in an ambiguous stage, the kind that made people feel stuffy.
Actually, Fu Chenâs guess was right. The two of them had indeed been feeling stuffy the whole time.
Fu Chen was Fu Sinianâs uncle. Yu Manxi poked Fu Sinian under the table to tell him not to spout nonsense.
âJust now.â Fu Sinian took a sip of warm water with a calm expression.
âCongratulations,â Fu Chen said calmly.
âThank you.â
Seeing that the hotpot soup was already boiling, Fu Chen added some mutton into it. âWhen are you bringing her home?â
âDepends on her schedule.â
â¦
Yu Manxi was completely stunned, feeling as if lightning had struck her.?How did it involve going home to meet his parents?
Moreover, these two are talking among themselves. Have they asked for my opinion?
Her heart belonged to Fu Sinian, so she naturally wanted to progress further with him. But everything was happening too fast, catching her off guard.
âThird Uncle is asking you a question,â Fu Sinian reminded Yu Manxi.?Why is she distracted?
âHuh?â Yu Manxi suddenly understood. âThird Master, what did you say?â
âMy fatherâs birthday is in a few days. Miss Yu, are you free to come?â The Fu family hadnât arranged blind dates for Fu Sinian recently, and they were all waiting for him to bring his girlfriend home.
Old Master Fuâs birthday??Yu Manxi was stunned. The Fu family members would definitely be here. She and Fu Sinian had just had their first kiss yesterday, and she was now about to see his parents. She hesitated. âActually, my relationship with Mr. Fu hasnâtâ¦â
Song Fengwan was texting her roommates when she heard this. She looked up in shock and looked at Fu Sinian.
Whatâs going on?
Fu Sinianâs wishful thinking?
Yu Manxi could feel the cold aura exuding from the man beside her. It was as if the surrounding air had instantly frozen, and it was suffocatingly oppressive. Halfway through her sentence, she bit her lip.?If I embarrass him in front of his third uncleâ¦
If heâs angryâ¦
Iâm afraid this ice-cold man wonât be easy to coax.
Seeing that the mushroom chicken soup at the side was already boiling, Fu Chen scooped a bowl for Song Fengwan with a ladle and then passed the ladle to Fu Sinian.
A certain someone followed suit and scooped a bowl for Yu Manxi.
âThank you.â His thoughtfulness made her flustered.
âMiss Yu, do you think youâre meeting his parents too quickly? Or are you unwilling to admit your relationship with our Sinian?â Fu Chen, this sly old fox, saw through the crux of their relationship at a glance.
After all, he was his uncle, so he definitely had to help him at a time like this.
Yu Manxi held a spoon and carefully stirred the hot soup in front of her, not knowing how to answer.
âOur Sinian has a boring personality and doesnât know how to talk. What made you unhappy?
âIf he did something wrong, you can tell me directly. Iâll reprimand him.â
Song Fengwan lowered her head and drank the soup.?When my Third Brother puts on airs, he really plays the role well.
âIt has nothing to do with him,â Yu Manxi hurriedly explained.?Iâm the one who let Fu Sinian down.
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes at her. âMiss Yu, your neckâ¦â
Only then did Yu Manxi notice that the silk scarf around her neck had loosened. Her face flushed red in embarrassment, and he hurriedly reached out to fix it.
âSinian was too much yesterday.â Fu Chen looked at Fu Sinian, his tone slightly reproachful. He really couldnât tell that he could bite someoneâs neck like this when he was usually quiet and silent.
âActually, yesterdayâ¦â Yu Manxi wanted to explain, but she didnât know where to start.
âIf he was too barbaric yesterday, Iâll get him to apologize to you.â
Fu Chen pressed down on her step by step. His tone was gentle and casual yet firm. Yu Manxi was forced into a corner by him and blurted outâ¦
âI let him down last night. It has nothing to do with Mr. Fu. He was forced.â
Song Fengwan nearly choked.?Forced herself on Fu Sinian? So fierce?
Sitting at the side, Fu Sinian didnât speak the whole time. He knew very well that Yu Manxi and Fu Chen were confronting each other, but she wouldnât be able to gain any advantage. His third uncle had dug a hole and waited for her to jump in.
She stillâ¦
⦠doesnât know how scheming the man in front of her is.
He was very clear that Fu Chen wanted to help him, so he naturally stayed still and waited quietly.
Fu Chen looked at Yu Manxi calmly. âSo, you were the one who slept with my nephew yesterday? Youâre refusing to acknowledge it afterward and even denying your relationship with him?
âMiss Yu, my nephew has never been in a relationship before. He has always been a clean person. After you two got intimate, you donât want to be responsible?
âLeaving after eating? Thatâs not very honest.â
Yu Manxi had always felt that although Fu Chen was younger than Fu Sinian, he was a gentleman and spoke objectively. He was also a good elder.?Whyâ¦
âWe didnât do what you thought yesterday.â
âDid you sleep together?â Fu Chen asked.
Yu Manxi was silent.?The sleep here isnât the same as that sleep.
âIn that case, since my nephew is willing to take responsibility, what are you dissatisfied about? If you really donât like him and feel that you canât be together in the future, just say it clearly. Donât waste each otherâs time.â Fu Chen calmly drank his water. âWhat we said just now was rude to you. I can apologize to you too.â
Song Fengwan sipped her soup.
Wasnât Fu Chen deliberately forcing Yu Manxi? But judging from Yu Manxiâs reaction when she saw her appear at the door just now, she liked Fu Sinian too. The two of them were probably feeling too stuffy and needed them to help.
After a long silenceâ¦
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people opposite him. âSince you have feelings for each other, you should be serious about everything and talk things out.
âAs your uncle, Iâm deeply gratified that you two are happy.â
Song Fengwan suppressed her laughter.?Youâre clearly forcing her. Arenât you embarrassed to say that?
âDonât just sit there. Letâs eat,â Fu Chen said, and everyone moved their chopsticks.
After all, Fu Chen and Song Fengwan had been dating for a long time, so they naturally had their own way of interacting. Even if they didnât talk, their interactions were still intimate and natural. On the other hand, the two people opposite them were always a little distant and unnatural.
âThe laptop is ready. Iâve installed some commonly used software for you. You can try them later. Let me know if you have any questions.â Fu Sinian looked at Song Fengwan.
âOkay.â
âHurry up and eat. Iâll send you back to school after.â Fu Chen picked up some meat for her.
Yu Manxi had yet to recover from Fu Chenâs âharsh interrogationâ and looked at Song Fengwan in shock. âY-youâre still in schoolâ¦â
âYes, Iâm just a first-year.â
With one look, it was obvious that the two of them had been dating for a long time.?Sheâs only in her first year of university, but theyâre already so intimate⦠Doesnât this mean that they were already together when she was in high schoolâ¦
Fu Sinianâs third uncle is reallyâ¦
⦠impressive.
Her mind was full of their age difference. She thought that Song Fengwan looked young, but she didnât expect her to be really young.?What is this calledâ¦
Yu Manxi had always lived overseas in the past, so she couldnât think of a good idiom to describe him. Words related to âoldâ popped into her mind.?Old but vigorous? Treasure knife yet to age? Wily old foxâ¦
***
Fu Chen and Song Fengwan left at half past six. Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi sent them out.
While waiting for the elevator, Fu Chen motioned for Fu Sinian to follow him to the side. After making sure that the other two wouldnât be able to hear their conversation, he stopped. âWhatâs going on between you and her? Itâs already like this, but you still havenât made your relationship clear?â
Fu Sinian didnât deny it.
âThe two of you should be interested in each other. Youâre just too stuffy. This wonât do.
âThere are some things that you canât confirm just because you think you understand each other. You need to act on it.
âDonât keep putting on airs. If you want to woo your wife, you have to be thick-skinned, especially when she likes you. Men should take the initiative.â
Fu Sinian was born as the eldest grandson of the Fu family. He was well-behaved and had an old-fashioned personality. If Fu Chen didnât teach him, he would probably never understand what to do.
âWere you shameless when you wooed her?â Fu Sinian asked.
Fu Chen frowned.?This brat still wants to attack me at a time like this?
âThird Brother, the elevator is here,â Song Fengwan reminded.
Fu Chen took a deep look at Fu Sinian. âAs your uncle, Iâve already tried my best. Itâs your own problem if you canât woo her.
âDonât wait until Wanwan and I get married and have children, but youâre still single.
âIf you still canât woo her under such circumstances, donât go back. You will embarrass our Fuâs family.â
Fu Sinianâs lips twitched as he suddenly looked at Yu Manxi not far away.
Coincidentally, Yu Manxi was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and his eyes were solemn. Suddenly, a dangerous dark glint shot out and locked onto her firmly.
He looked as fierce as a wolf.
Yu Manxi felt a chill run down her spine, and an inexplicable chill spread throughout her body.. She had a bad feeling.
