The moment those words left Fu Chenâs mouth, the entire world seemed to stop.
Especially Shi Fang, who was standing at the side, his mouth opened and closed as he kept poking Qian Jiang.
âDid I hear wrongly? Leave after waking up? Young ladies nowadays are so bold. Do they become so unrestrained after just drinking some wine?
âShe slept with our Third Master? Am I still asleep?â
Qian Jiang frowned and slapped him hard with the back of his hand. âAre you awake now?â
Shi Fang was dumbfounded.
This bastard must be doing it on purpose. I only poked him twice. I didnât hit him in the face!
I canât tolerate this.
Shi Fang raised his hand, preparing to return the slap. Qian Jiang made use of his height advantage and towered over him.
A certain someone lowered his hand resentfully.?Youâre tall and strong. I canât win against you, so Iâll tolerate it.
On the other sideâ¦
Song Fengwanâs footsteps were a little weak, and her fingers tugged at the hem of her clothes uneasily. âThird Master, I was drunk last night and donât really remember what I didâ¦â
âYou were indeed drunk. Your mother asked me to take care of you, so I brought you back.â Fu Chenâs tone was calm.
âThank you,â Song Fengwan was so guilty that she didnât dare to look at him. âBut⦠shouldnât you have sent me back to my room instead?â
After saying this, Song Fengwan even looked at him innocently.
Fu Chen raised his eyes to look at her.?Is this little fox planning to expose me?
Hearing this, Shi Fangalmost laughed out loud.?Miss Song, well done. Donât be a coward. Go on. Question him, call him out.
âAfter I sent you back to your room, you came out on your own, stayed at the door of my room, and refused to leave. In the end, you even occupied my bed.â
âIâ¦â Song Fengwan gritted her teeth. âI did that?â
âDo you think I brought you to my room on purpose?â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. âI have a witness. Do you still want to confront me?â
Someone actually saw it??Song Fengwan wanted to cry, but no tears came out, and her expression instantly looked lost.
âThen did I do anything else last night?â She really couldnât remember.
âIsnât sleeping on my bed enough? What else did you want to do, or what else did you want to sleep with?â A certain someoneâs tone was slow and lukewarm.
Other than the bed, the only thing she could sleep with was naturallyâ¦
⦠this certain someone.
Song Fengwan hurriedly shook her head. âNo, I just feel very sorry for causing you trouble.â
âCome and eat.â Fu Chen stood up and walked to the dining table.
Shi Fang stood at the side and shook his head helplessly.?Miss Song canât remain like this. Sheâs been completely fooled by Third Master.?No one goes to the second floor usually. Last night, other than you two, there was only Fu Xinhan. How can a dog be a witness?
I bet a packet of spicy?strips1?that Third Master definitely carried Miss Song to his room. How could he still be so self-righteous when he used such dishonest and underhanded means?
Itâs such a rare occurrence.
Third Master is scheming, and his tricks are far up his sleeve.

The two of them sat across from each other at the dining table. There were steamed dumplings for breakfast, but Song Fengwan felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles and had no appetite.
âIâm going out of town today. It might be a few days before Iâm back.â Fu Chenâs tone was relaxed.
âHow long will you be gone? A long time?â Song Fengwan had lived here for more than a month and was already used to Fu Chen being at home every night. Once he left, the house would instantly become cold and deserted.
âYou donât want me to leave?â He raised his eyes to look at her.
âNo.â
âThen you want me to leave?â Fu Chen asked again.
Song Fengwan hurriedly shook her head. She couldnât answer either of these questions.
She buried her head in her food and stopped talking.
Fu Chen had to go to the airport in the morning, so he sent her to school in passing. After what had happened last night, Song Fengwan felt very embarrassed, and the two of them didnât say anything along the way. Fu Chen only spoke when the car stopped at a corner not far from the school entrance. âIâll call Aunt Yun later and ask her to accompany you.â
After what had happened last night, he could tell that Song Fengwan was rather insecure. He was also worried about leaving her alone at home.
âOkay.â
âIf thereâs anything urgent, you can look for me or contact this person. Heâs in Beijing, so itâll be more convenient.â Fu Chen took out a post-it from his pocket and handed it to her. There was a surname and a string of numbers written on it.
Song Fengwan was dumbfounded when she saw the last name.
What kind of people are hiding in Third Masterâs circle of friends?
Cousin was right. Third Master is indeed someone I can rely on. People can have an easy life if theyâre in his good books.

Fu Chen watched Song Fengwan enter the school before getting Shi Fang to drive him to the airport. Meanwhile, Qian Jiang stayed behind in the capital to protect Song Fengwan.
âThird Master, the Song family is in a mess right now, and Cheng Lan is eyeing us like a tiger again. If you leave, wonât some people take advantage of this opportunity to make a move?â Shi Fang was puzzled.
âOld Master and Old Madam know very little about the outside world. If something happens, they wonât be able to take care of Miss Song right away.
âThat bunch of conniving vermin might be up to something.â
Fu Chen sneered. âI also want to see how much trouble they can cause when Iâm not around.â
âWith you here, those people are afraid and donât dare to act rashly. If you leaveâ¦â Shi Fang hesitated.
Fu Chen chuckled. âTheyâre like venomous snakes, hiding in the dark and preparing to strike at you at any time.
âInstead of that, I might as well let them cause trouble.
âThat way, we can catch them all at once.â
Shi Fang instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
No one can beat him in terms of scheming and calculating.
Perhaps that group of people cheering for Third Masterâs departure donât know that thereâs someone carefully taking steps to lure the snakes out of their holes.
As soon as Fu Chen arrived at the airport, his phone vibrated.
He answered the phone. âHello.â
âThird Fu, you finally have a conscience this time. You knew I had a serious cold and was bedridden, so youâre specially coming to pick me up. I didnât treat you as a brother for nothing.â
Fu Chen responded dully.
âI heard that when you were at my place last night, that young lady fell into your embrace?â
Fu Chen frowned. âAre you spying on me?â
âDonât mind these details. But she didnât look for anyone else and only chose to throw herself into your arms. It shows that youâre special in her heart. But sheâs still young. How will you get her to change the way she sees you, old man?â
Fu Chen held the phone tightly.
âI heard that thereâs some discord in her family. Her father even gave her an elder sister. Do you think itâs because she lacks fatherly love, so she treats youâ¦â
Fu Chen hung up the phone.
When he thought of how Song Fengwan had called him âDadâ last night, his expression turned even colder. He pushed open the car door and rushed straight to the airport lobby.?Lack of fatherly love? Does this fellow feel that life has been too comfortable recently?
Shi Fang chased after him with a dumbfounded expression.?What did that man say to provoke Third Master? How is this picking him up? Heâs clearly going to seek revenge.
Is it finally time for that master to die in the hands of Third Master?
A scenario of âdying in a foreign landâ?
