He was touched by his Brotherâs rare invite to Bright Garden for dinner.
âIâll be right there.â
After hanging up the phone, Fu Tingyan made a phone call to Jiang Yu. He sounded very pleased.
âLetâs have dinner next time. My brother wants me to go to Bright Garden.â
Jiang Yu, who had already left the house, stared at the disconnected call in a daze.
Iâve been stood up?
â
â
Qin Shu hung up the phone and glanced at the old lady. âGrandmother, he will be back soon.â
he old lady was a little surprised when Qin Shu took the initiative to make the call. In the past, Qin Shu had never taken the initiative to call Xiao Yu.
When Qin Shu was on the phone, she had perked her ears and eavesdropped. She had spoken in a gentle and virtuous, just like a couple who shared a good relationship.
A hint of doubt flashed across the Old Madamâs eyes as she nodded her head.
Qin Shu turned to look at Ning Meng. âGet the kitchen to prepare the dishes.â
âGot it, Young Madam.â
Ning Meng was quick-witted. When she noticed Xu Weiâs presence, she deliberately emphasized the words âYoung Madamâ before turning towards the kitchen.
Xu Wei saw Qin Shu ordering Ning Meng as though she was the mistress of the house. She assumed that Qin Shu was in a hurry to get to the top and had said that deliberately.
However, when she heard the words âYoung Madamâ, she was stunned for quite some time.
Then, she glanced at Qin Shu a few more times. She really couldnât see anything special about her.
After the dishes were served, Qin Shu reached out and held onto the Old Madamâs arm. âGrandmother, shall we go to the dining table and wait for him?â
âYes.â
The Old Madam turned her head to look at Qin Shu. She wasnât used to her sudden virtuous behavior.
The three of them walked to the dining table together.
The dining table was full of delicious dishes, most of which were Qin Shuâs favorites.
This was also what Fu Tingyu had ordered. The dishes were all prepared according to Qin Shuâs taste.
Not long after they sat down, Fu Tingyuâs tall and slender figure walked into the dining room from the living room.
When he saw all three women sitting at the dining table, he frowned. His slender fingers moved forward as he unbuttoned the two buttons on the front of his suit. Then, he took off his suit jacket.
Upon noticing Fu Tingyuâs return, Qin Shu stood up and walked up to him. She took the suit jacket from him and handed it to Ning Meng.
âYou came back so quickly. The food has just been served.â
It would usually take at least half an hour to come back from the company. Yet, it had taken him less than twenty minutes...
Fu Tingyu looked down at the girl, his eyes dark. âDonât you want me to come back earlier?â
When Qin Shu sensed the manâs displeasure, she responded innocently. âI think safety is still the most important.â
Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu didnât speak loudly. Their interaction was simply a display of their love and affection.
Xu Wei stared at the two people in front of her. An unnoticeable trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes as she pursed her red lips.
The Old Madam glanced at Xu Wei, who was seated at the side. She coughed lightly. âDonât talk while standing. Come and sit down. There are guests present.â
Upon hearing this, Fu Tingyu held Qin Shuâs hand and walked to the dining table.
The two of them sat down one after the other.
Xu Weiâs gaze fell on their interlocked hands. This was the first time she saw Fu Tingyu holding a womanâs hand.
If she hadnât seen it with her own eyes, no one would believe that Fu Tingyu would take the initiative to hold a womanâs hand. Wasnât he a serious germaphobe who hated women?
After concealing her emotions, Xu Wei called out, âTingyu.â
Fu Tingyu turned his head to look at Xu Wei and gave a faint acknowledgement, âMm.â
Fu Tingyan, who had rushed over, walked into the dining room at that moment. When he saw four people sitting at the dining table, he was momentarily stunned.
Grandmother had visited the Bright Garden for a meal, but yet she didnât call him over?
Alas, only his Brother thought of him.
