Chapter 747: Chapter 747

The matter of Duan Linbai being arrested for fighting was kept secret. Those people still cared about their reputation. If this matter was exposed, they would only be the ones embarrassed.

They couldn’t wait to suppress the matter, and they also actively compensated the hotel.

Some websites had posted news that there had been a fight in a certain hotel. It was suspected that drunkards had caused trouble, but it didn’t cause much of a splash.

Three days after the incident, Xu Jiamu sent Duan Linbai a message. [Are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to a meal to thank you for saving me that day.]

Duan Linbai was currently at the Fu residence. He happened to pass by, so he came to the old residence to visit the two elders. He stared at his phone for a long time.

This woman unblocked me?

If he rejected a girl’s invitation, it would seem too disrespectful. But he still took more than ten minutes to reply. [Yeah.]

[Then, at six tonight. I’ll send you the location on WeChat.]

[Okay.]

Duan Linbai lowered his head and sized up his clothes. He had just finished discussing business with someone and was dressed too formally. If he went out like this, it would be a little too solemn.

...

“Linbai, stay for dinner tonight. Hanchuan just sent more than ten crabs yesterday. Fu Chen went to pick Wanwan up. When they arrive, we’ll have dinner.” Although it was not yet five in the evening, the Fu family was already preparing dinner.

“No thanks. I have an appointment tonight. I have to go home first.” Duan Linbai hurriedly answered the two elders of the Fu family and rushed out to jump into his car. He drove straight home.

After returning home, he specially washed his hair and styled it. After finishing, he felt stupid again.

It’s not like I haven’t eaten with girls before. Do I have to be so serious?!

It’s better to be casual!

He casually scattered his hair and changed his clothes before humming a song and leaving.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Is our son alright recently? Does he need to dress so nicely when he goes out to socialize? He even specially washed his hair and styled it?” Mrs. Duan stared at Duan Linbai’s back. “Old Duan, is something wrong with our son?”

“He’s been fooling around with that kid from the Jiang family recently. What could happen between two men?”

“I even saw him put on a facial mask before.”

A certain someone almost spat out his tea...

When Fu Chen and Song Fengwan returned to the old residence, the crabs had just been cooked.

Yu Manxi was pregnant, so she wasn’t allowed to eat them. Thus, the Jing family’s crabs were basically all sent to the old residence.

Song Fengwan watched Old Madam Fu prepare the dipping sauce in the kitchen while Fu Chen accompanied Old Master Fu to clean up the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard.

“Dad, don’t work too hard. Let me do it.” The autumn wind blew, and the withered leaves scattered. It would only take half a day for half of the courtyard to be covered again. Old Master Fu usually had nothing to do, so he would personally tidy it up.

“I’ll plant a few pomegranate trees in the courtyard next year.”

“Hmm?”

“The Jing family sent us pomegranates during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She likes them a lot.”

Fu Chen nodded in agreement. Actually, Old Madam Fu had high blood sugar, so she couldn’t eat many sweets. Even pomegranates could only be eaten in small amounts.

“Wanwan should be twenty next year. You can get the marriage certificate,” Old Master Fu suddenly said.

“Okay.” Fu Chen nodded.

“Have you two discussed getting married and having children?”

Actually, the two elders of the Fu family were not in a hurry about this kind of thing. But time was unforgiving. At their age, every day they lived was another day earned. Naturally, they wanted to see all their children get married and start a family.

“Not yet.”

“When you can have children, hurry up and have a few more. Don’t get a child at an old age like when I had you.” Old Master Fu breathed out a long sigh. “I was ashamed to go to your parent-teacher meetings.”

Fu Chen: “...”

What do you mean by hurry up and have children when I can? You make it sound like I won’t be able to do it after two years.

Song Fengwan came out and called them for dinner. Seeing that Fu Chen’s expression wasn’t right, she asked, “What were you talking about? Your expression doesn’t look right. Did you get criticized?”

“No.”

“Don’t talk back to him.” Song Fengwan understood Fu Chen’s temper. Sometimes, his words could really anger people to death.

“I didn’t talk back to him. The old man urged me to give him a grandson.”

This time, it was Song Fengwan’s turn to blush. “Isn’t it too early to talk about this?”

“So there’s nothing I can do.”

Fu Chen still wanted to spend more time with Song Fengwan, just the two of them, and had no intention of having a child at all.

Since he was young, he had faced a large group of people calling him uncle, so he really didn’t have a good impression of children. When they cried, their snot and tears were all over their faces. It was dirty.

Raising such a little ancestor at home would probably annoy him to death.

Besides, he had also seen how affectionate Song Fengwan was to her younger brother. If another debt collector came, he would probably not have a good time.

Little Mr. Yan of the Yan family already knew how to pronounce ooh-ah-ah. Every time he video chatted with Song Fengwan, he would kiss the camera, and his saliva would blur the camera.

Song Fengwan was naturally happy. She couldn’t wait to give him everything good.

But this child of the Yan family was indeed not like Yan Wangchuan. He was very likable and had been raised to be fair and fat. At this time, the weather in Nanjiang was still very hot, so he only wore diapers while crawling all over the place.

Many people in the Yan family had some complaints about Qiao Aiyun.

After all, she had once rejected the Yan family’s marriage proposal. Now that they were married, some elders still couldn’t let go of their old grudges. They kept feeling that she had brought a daughter to snatch the assets.

But the birth of Little Mr. Yan completely eased the relationship between the Yan family.

After all, this child was lovable. He smiled at everyone he saw and didn’t cry when strangers held him.

This also caused Old Madam Yan to stay close to him all the time, afraid that he would meet some human traffickers. She said that he was too naive and that he would even help count the money after being kidnapped.

Regarding kidnapping and trafficking, it really happened once. He almost killed the traffickers. This was a story for the future.

Little Mr. Yan knew Fu Chen. Every time he saw him appear on camera, he always looked very excited.

Fu Chen felt that this child was not bad.

Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua didn’t return from their social gathering tonight, so only the four of them sat down to eat. Fu Chen helped Song Fengwan deal with the crabs skillfully.

Song Fengwan bit her chopsticks and looked at the person beside her...

It seems he was really ordered around by his sister a lot when he was young.

On another side...

Duan Linbai was already waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. He was considered a celebrity, so he specially wore a mask, afraid of being recognized.

In order to make himself look more mature and steady, coupled with the cold weather, when Xu Jiamu saw Duan Linbai standing under a tree from afar...

He was actually holding a thermos flask in his hand.

At this moment, it was drizzling. Xu Jiamu held an umbrella and quickly walked toward him.

She couldn’t help wondering.

He’s already starting to maintain his health at his age?

Did he play too hard before? Is his body suffering too much damage?

She had always thought that since Duan Linbai had helped her, she had to express her gratitude and give him something. But she didn’t know what he lacked. Now, she knew...

I’ll buy some wolfberries for him. Wolfberries nourish the kidneys and the body, so they should be very suitable for him.

A gust of autumn wind blew. Duan Linbai wasn’t wearing much, so he couldn’t help shivering.

F*ck, why is it raining?

Is this woman coming or not? Does she want to freeze me to death?

“Young Master Duan.” Xu Jiamu hurried over. She raised her arm slightly and held the umbrella over his head. “I’m sorry. You must have waited for a long time.”

“It’s fine.” Duan Linbai had arrived early.

“Are you cold? You’re not wearing much.” Xu Jiamu had wrapped herself in a woolen coat and scarf, while a certain someone was still wearing a leather jacket.

“How is that possible? I’m in very good health. My body is especially strong.” As Duan Linbai spoke, he even shook his neck and arms, trying to show off his ‘wonderful young body’.

But with his series of movements, his leg joints suddenly...

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The two of them were very close. Xu Jiamu couldn’t help laughing out loud. Duan Linbai was embarrassed and annoyed, and he pursed his lips tightly.

“Let’s go in. I specially booked a private room. This restaurant’s dishes are quite good.” Xu Jiamu didn’t have that much money to treat him to good food, so she had booked a restaurant near the school.

Duan Linbai was anxious and annoyed.

When ordering, Xu Jiamu specially ordered a big bowl of bone soup.

“When your leg bones cracked just now, it didn’t hurt, did it?”

“It doesn’t hurt?”

“If the sound of joints popping is accompanied by pain, young people might have physical trauma. Older people have to consider osteoporosis and so on. In any case it’s better to intake more calcium.”

Duan Linbai was stunned. I’m here to eat, not see a doctor!

At this moment, Xu Jiamu’s phone vibrated. She took a look and saw that it was a voice message from her roommate. She didn’t know that the volume of her speaker was so high. She wanted to convert it into text, but she accidentally played the voice message...

“Mu’zi, do you know how overboard that bastard is? He did something wrong, yet he’s still quibbling. I really want to dissect him to see what color his heart is.”

Duan Linbai held his thermos flask and took a sip of tea to calm himself down.

Xu Jiamu lowered her head and laughed dryly. “She’s just joking. She studies Chinese medicine, not clinical medicine. She doesn’t use knives. She has always been helping her boyfriend nurse his health, and their relationship is quite good.”

Duan Linbai smiled bitterly. Nursing his body? Making him drink Chinese medicine or doing acupuncture and cupping?

They haven’t broken up yet. It’s really true love.

“You’ve been staying up late recently?” Xu Jiamu didn’t know what to say and could only stare into his eyes.

“What?”

“The whites of your eyes are congested. You might have conjunctivitis.”

...

Duan Linbai coughed twice. I should have stayed at the Fu residence and eaten crabs. I definitely can’t find a girlfriend who studies medicine.
