Fu Chen had been working at the company all this while. At around eleven oâclock, he packed his things and was about to pick Song Fengwan up for lunch when his phone vibrated. He saw Xu Yuanfeiâs reply.
[Thank you for the reminder.]
Fu Chenâs fingertips rubbed the prayer beads beside him. There was even a smiling emoji at the end of the sentence. It seems they successfully escaped a calamity. His lips curled up.
Jing Hanchuan was considered lucky. Otherwise, he would have really been killed on the spot by his future father-in-law.

There was another message right after.
[Third Master, youâre an old customer of the store. Recently, the store has launched some new varieties. You can come over when you have time. Bring a few for Wanwan to try. Theyâre free.]
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. Xu Yuanfeiâs meaning was very clear.
She wanted to chat with him.
It was about Jing Hanchuan.
She used to think that she had hidden it well. Now that Fu Chen had discovered it, she was definitely worried that he would expose it. Her relationship with Jing Hanchuan had yet to be confirmed. Now that her identity had been exposed, and there were too many other factors, she was afraid that their relationship would be strangled in the cradle.
After thinking about it, she asked Fu Chen to meet.
When smart people spoke, there was no need to be too straightforward. It was a tacit understanding.

At this moment, in a Huaiyang restaurant near the exhibition venue...
Jing Hanchuan rubbed the transparent cup with his fingers, but his gaze kept landing on the person opposite him. âAre you very busy?â
âHuh?â Xu Yuanfei quickly put away her phone. âNo, itâs just that thereâs something going on in the store. A customer is asking some questions.â
âDo you do everything by yourself for every customer?â
âNot really, just regular customers.â
Xu Yuanfei took a sip of hot tea guiltily. In the past, other than checking the accounts, she seldom went to the store. Other than Jing Hanchuan, her interactions with the customers only stopped at the level of ordering desserts.
She was planning to meet Fu Chen behind his back and felt inexplicably flustered, as if she was going to do something shameful behind his back.
At this moment, they had yet to confirm their relationship, but she was actually thinking about being loyal and so on. She was really possessed.
This man is really a disaster. She looked up and secretly glanced at Jing Hanchuan. Heâs really been handsome since he was young.
At this moment, her phone vibrated twice. Fu Chen had replied.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Iâm free tomorrow afternoon.]
Xu Yuanfei bit her lip. Itâs so easy to talk to smart people.
But she couldnât see through Fu Chen. She really didnât understand why he endured it and didnât tell Jing Hanchuan since he knew her identity.
Actually, Fu Chen had thought of this before, but he wasnât 100% sure. This was because the Xu family had declared to the public that their daughterâs name was Xu Jiamei, and it was impossible for him to investigate her. If the Xu family found out, they would definitely think that he was up to something.
Although this message today was to remind her, it was actually more of a test.
And Xu Yuanfeiâs reaction also confirmed his guess.
She was definitely the little girl whose head had been smashed by Jing Hanchuan back then.
Was this girlâs brain damaged? Why did she like him?

Xu Yuanfei didnât know that Fu Chenâs message could extend to so many things. She only knew that she had survived and barely avoided a calamity. She was still rejoicing in her heart that she was lucky.

The two of them ate at the back. Because it was still early and it was cold outside, it was not suitable for them to go out. If they separated now, they would feel regretful.
She pursed her lips tightly and said awkwardly, âThere seems to be a good movie recently. Do you want to watch it?â
âWhat movie?â
âItâs this...â Xu Yuanfei passed him the information she had found on her phone.
Jing Hanchuan took a look and then looked at Xu Yuanfei. âDo you like watching this type of movie?â
Xu Yuanfei coughed. âI think the ratings are good.â
It was a blockbuster movie about foreign superheroes. Xu Yuanfei wasnât a big fan of such movies. She didnât know if this movie was good or not, but the only thing she was sure of was...
It was long enough!
It was more than three hours.
âOkay, Iâll get someone to book tickets.â
Xu Yuanfei nodded.
When the two of them arrived at the theaterâbecause it wasnât the weekend, there were only a few showings at 1 p.m, and this theater was sufficiently remoteâother than the staff, there were almost no guests.
As soon as the two of them arrived, the Jing family members were already waiting and leading them in.
Because they had booked the entire venue, they informed the staff in advance and entered the hall.
The decor of the VIP coupleâs hall was romantic and unique. There was also a sweet perfume smell in the air, making people feel intoxicated just by smelling it. There was naturally popcorn and coke readily available.
âThe movie is about to start. You guys go ahead. Weâre going out.â
