After Qiao Xiyan lost Tang Jingci for the third time, he was lectured by his father for more than two hours.
On the other side, Tang Jingci was video chatting with her father. She didnât tell anyone about this, but Qiao Wangbei had called him and admitted that his son had made a mistake. He promised that similar situations wouldnât happen again.
Otherwise, if he found out in the future, who knew what troubles would happen.
âWhen he was a child, I knew he wasnât a good person. People always say that you canât do something three times. How many times has it been?
âIs his memory really that bad? Or is he purposely forgetting?!
âWhen he brought you out to play when you were young, there was an accident. I didnât let you go to his house, but you cried about it!â
âTang Jingci reached out to rub her temples and glanced at the time on the lower right side of the laptop from the corner of her eye. His father had already been criticizing Qiao Xiyan for more than half an hour. It was early in the morning in M Nation. Why is he so angry in the morning?
âLet me tell you something. If he does something like this again in the future, cut him!
âBeat him up hard and say that I told you to do it. This little bastard!â
âTang Jingci let out a muffled laugh. âI know.â
âIf he dares to fight back, Iâll fly back to teach him a lesson. See if I canât take care of himâ¦â
They chatted all night.

The next day, when Tang Jingci got up for breakfast, only Qiao Aiyun and Old Madam Yan were serving Little Mr. Yan.
âWhen Little Mr. Yan saw Tang Jingci, he kept waving his small arms, looking very excited.
âGood morning. Come eat.â Qiao Aiyun didnât expect Qiao Xiyan to lose this young lady time and time again, so she naturally spoke more amicably to her.
âThank you.â Tang Jingci was a little jet-lagged and yawned, looking a little tired.
âThe Yan familyâs breakfast was similar to that of an ordinary family. There was porridge, egg pancakes, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. âUncle-Masters arenât here?â
âThey went out for morning exercise. Theyâll be back soon. Eat first.â
Although Qiao Aiyun said this, Tang Jingci didnât move. She just turned her head to stare at Little Mr. Yan and picked up the small toys at the side to tease him.
Not long later, the sound of footsteps approached. She watched as the three of them walked in. Qiao Wangbei had obviously only gone out for a round. He didnât sweat at all and was still holding a teacup in his hand, looking relaxed.
Yan Wangchuan was covered in sweat. He greeted everyone in the living room with his usual expression and tone before going upstairs to take a shower.
Qiao Xiyan walked in last. He had taken off his shirt and was only wearing a light white singlet inside
He was drenched in sweat, and his translucent singlet was clinging to his body. The outlines of his chest muscles and abdomen were clearly visible. Even though she couldnât see the full appearance
She still knew that his muscles were well-defined, firm, and strong.
âTang Jingci suddenly remembered that she had bumped into his arms yesterday. His body was hot and hard. Her fingers holding the toy were slightly hot.
Qiao Xiyan bent down to change his shoes. The muscles on his back stretched, and his broad and firm shoulder muscles tensed and relaxed.
Her throat was a little dry. His shoulders were broad, his hips were narrow, and the lines of his muscles were smooth and obvious. Some men overseas had slightly exaggerated muscles, but his were very beautiful.
In other words:
They were just right!
âXiyan, why are you sweating so much?â Qiao Aiyun hurriedly called him upstairs. âHurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. Donât catch a cold.â
âOkay.â Qiao Xiyan passed by Tang Jingci. The smell of sweat was mixed with a light breathing sound.
Her heart was pounding, and her ears were red.
Her biological father had a big build. He didnât look fat, but his beer belly wasnât small. It was just that he usually hid it well under his clothes. In other words, her fatherâs stomach looked like it was pregnant, and it was several months pregnant.
âWhen her family went to the beach, Tang Jingci couldnât even look at him when she saw him showing his flesh.
Qiao Xiyan went straight upstairs and didnât notice Tang Jingciâs abnormality at all. His father and uncle-master had abused him during morning exercise. Yan Wangchuan said directly, âYoung man, youâre as weak as a little girl. Youâre out of breath after running a few steps. Youâre not as good as Fu Chen.â
Yan Wangchuanâs mouth was also vicious to death. Qiao Xiyan would usually let it go, but comparing him to Fu Chen? This was intolerable
After he fell for this trick, his legs felt sore and weak from running all morning.
His father was the most ruthless. He stood at the highest point and gave commands. Qiao Xiyan almost vomited to death.
âThe men took showers quickly. Soon, Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Xiyan went downstairs. Yan Wangchuan had already changed into a suit and was obviously going to work.
âLittle Ci, what are your plans today?â Qiao Wangbei asked.
âLjust want to take a look around. I downloaded various guides on my phoneâ¦â
She was about to say that she could do it alone and didnât need anyone to accompany her when Qiao Xiyan said directly, âIâll accompany you all day.â
Originally, Qiao Wangbei wanted to go too, but he eventually felt that it wasnât good. After all, there was a generation gap, so it wouldnât be fun for Tang Jingci.
âThereâs really no need. Iâm just taking a walk by the seaâ¦â
âOkay, Iâll go with you.â Qiao Xiyan had nothing to do today and had been ordered by his father to keep an eye on Tang Jingci at all times, so he could only do this.
âTang Jingci smiled awkwardly. She was thinking about how to reject him when Qiao Aiyun brought out a cup of cream-colored, fragrant, and thick liquid and placed it in front of Qiao Xiyan.
âAunt?â
âYour dad said that you need to nourish your brain recently, so he asked me to make some walnut juice. I also added some peanuts to flavor it. The taste is alright.â
âWhen Tang Jingci saw Qiao Xiyanâs face instantly darken, she couldnât help lowering her head and smiling. She chewed on the omelet in small bites and tried not to look at him.
When the two of them went out, it was already an hour later.
âTang Jingci really strolled around casually and took some photos at unique places.
She originally planned to take some photos of the scenery. But since Qiao Xiyan was here, she naturally wanted to take some photos of herself for remembrance. After thinking for a long time, she passed her phone to him.
âTm not good at taking pictures,â Qiao Xiyan said bluntly.
âIt doesnât matter. Take them however you want.â Tang Jingci walked to a large building and casually posed.
Qiao Xiyan glanced at her phone case.
On it were the white words âMake a fortune overnightâ on a blue background. The comers of his mouth twitched. She isnât an eighteen-year-old little girl anymore, but she loves to daydream.
He held up the phone and took a few photos for her.
âTang Jingci checked the photos excitedly. Most of them were blurry. Why did he point the focus at the building and blur my face? This man
Itâs not that he doesnât know how to take photos, but his hands are crippled!

Meanwhile, in Yuncheng.
Song Fengwan got up at around seven to pack the things she was bringing. The visitation time was at 10 a.m. They had to catch a plane back to Beijing at noon, so time was tight.
âYou donât need me to accompany you?â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
âTm very familiar with Yuncheng. Iâll just take a taxi there.â Song Fengwan refused to let him send her there.
Fu Chen pursed his lips tightly and said after a few seconds, âTâll call a taxi for you.â
Song Fengwan carried the things alone and took a taxi to the prison in southern Yuncheng. It had been more than half a year since she last saw Song Jingren. She heard from the prison guards that he had undergone a good transformation in the past six months, and he wasnât as dejected as when he came
in.
He was still skinny, but he was obviously more energetic than before.
â.. [heard your mother had another child?â Song Jingrenâs voice was trembling as he spoke to her.
âYes,â Song Fengwan nodded.
âOhâ¦â Song Jingren suddenly looked somewhat dazed. After a long time, he asked with red eyes,â Does that family treat you well?â
âPretty good.â
âThatâs good. Thatâs goodâ¦â He said these words repeatedly, his fingers trembling slightly from agitation.
âThe visitation time was limited. When Song Fengwan came out, the sun was blazing outside, making her feel warm all over.
Fu Chen had already called a taxi for her. When she walked out of the prison, she went straight to the restaurant where the two of them would have lunch. When she got out of the car, a few students immediately surrounded her.
âPlease take a look. Thank you.â
Song Fengwan nodded and took the flier. It was from a gym. From the corner of her eye, she saw the school emblem of Yuncheng University on the manâs clothes, and her pupils constricted slightly.
She suddenly thought of Jiang Fengya
Ever since something happened to Song Jingren and her foster father, she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth and completely disappeared from her life.
But for such an ambitious person who wanted to climb up the social ladder to withdraw from life like this, she kept feeling that there was something strange.
But Song Fengwan didnât have time to think about it. She put away the flier and entered the restaurant.

âWhen the noon flight arrived in Beijing, it was already evening. Song Fengwan was exhausted and sleepy, so she called the counselor to apply for leave from evening self-study.
âThen, are you staying the night?â Fu Chen had already taken a shower and changed his clothes.
âI still have homework to do. Lend me your laptop.â
âSure.â
Fu Chen helped her turn on the laptop and entered the password for her. He sat at the side and wiped his hair with a towel in one hand while looking at his phone with the other.
Song Fengwan was speechless. When did Third Brother become a phone addict?
She wasnât used to using Fu Chenâs laptop. While operating it, she called Hu Xinyue. Her phone was on speakerphone.
âWanwan, when are you coming back to the dormitory? Iâll pick you up!â
âTm not going back tonight. I wonât be attending evening self-study either. When the art history prof assigned homework, I remember taking a photo of the homework requirements, but I lost it. What are the requirements?â
âFollow the content of his class, and write more than one thousand words of your impression. Iâll send you the specific format requirements later.â
âOkay.â
âBy the wayâ¦â Just as she was about to hang up, Hu Xinyue stopped her. âDid you save the resources I sent you last time?â
âHuh?â Song Fengwanâs fingers trembled, and a bunch of Iâs appeared on the word processor
âMy resources have been confiscated. F*ck, what a sin. Send me another copy.â
âLâ¦â Song Fengwan subconsciously looked up at Fu Chen. He was staring at her with interest and smiling mysteriously.
âHurry up. Iâll wait for you.â Hu Xinyue hung up.
Song Fengwan wanted to cry. Xinyue is really.
Sheâs killing me.
Just as she was about to cry, Fu Chen got up and walked behind her. He lowered his body and rubbed his chin gently on her shoulder. âWanwan⦠Hurry up and send it to her.â
âThird Brotherâ¦â Song Fengwan lowered her head, too embarrassed to face him.
âHurry up.â
Song Fengwan had no choice. Fu Chenâs laptop didnât have the software, so she simply picked up her phone to do it. Her eyes darted to the person beside her from time to time, and she felt a little guilty.
âActually, she sent it to me, but I really didnât watch it!â
âIs that soâ¦â Fu Chen dragged out his words, deliberately leaving her hanging.
Song Fengwan opened her cloud storage drive. She originally wanted to send it to Hu Xinyue, but her fingers were so nervous that they were sweating. She didnât send it but instead opened the video.
âWhen some voices came, Song Fengwan was so ashamed that she almost fainted.
The room was full of sweet and coy female voices.
âThe system automatically prompted and asked if she wanted to continue from the previous time
Watching this kind of thing was already bold.
But watching and lying about it
âWhat else do you want to say?â Fu Chen took her phone and turned off the video.
Song Fengwan wanted to cry. She raised her head slightly and tried to explain. A hand held her face. Fu Chenâs eyes were dark as he kissed her lips passionately.
The hand holding her moved gently and carried her entire body onto the table. Song Fengwan was trembling all over. His body had a faint sandalwood fragrance. Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, his body heat was so intense that it made her head feel dizzy.
He had been a little rough yesterday. The young lady moaned and hugged his neck weakly. Fu Chen stopped moving.
Their eyes met. Fu Chen tightened his grip on her waist and pressed her into his embrace. âIf you look at this type of nonsense again, I wonât let you off.â
âLjust took a look to study.â
âWatch less and do more. Studying is not as good as putting it into practice. If you want to learnâ¦â a certain someone said hoarsely, âIâll accompany you anytime.â
Song Fengwan curled her toes shyly and nodded.
Hu Xinyue soon received the news.
Song Fengwan: [My resources have also been confiscated.]
While Song Fengwan was doing her homework, Fu Chen was fiddling with her phone. When she was done, she looked at her cloud storage drive. It was all world-famous books. The most terrifying thing was.
There were even vocabulary words that had to be memorized for the CET4 and CET6 exams! 4
She might not have found a boyfriend but a father!
