Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Duan father and son didn’t stay long. When it was almost lunchtime, they got up and left.

Everyone got up to see the guests out. The door opened, and a bleak cold wind blew over. Song Fengwan shuddered. Fu Chen was standing beside her and had his head turned to talk to Duan Linbai.

With a chill in the air, his voice was low and gloomy.

Song Fengwan had been trying to avoid him carefully the whole time. Her heart was a mess.

She didn’t even dare imagine what would happen between her and Fu Chen either.

.

She had been engaged to Fu Yuxiu, and Fu Chen was his uncle. If anything happened between the two of them, how should she face the Fu family in the future?

Old Madam Fu treated her very well, treating her as her biological granddaughter. If anything happened in the future, she didn’t know how she would view her.

“Third Fu, I’m leaving now.” Duan Linbai hated that he couldn’t immediately leave this troublesome place.

“We’ll talk again when we meet tonight. Wait for my call at home.” Fu Chen looked at him with a cold expression.

Duan Linbai only wanted to cry.

Wait for his call? He wants to kill me.

Can I refuse?

It really had nothing to do with him. How could he have known that his father was so ‘crazy’ that he would target a minor?

It was fine for others, but she was Third Fu’s person. This guy had been vengeful since he was young. Who knew what kind of tricks he would pull to punish him?

He was really unlucky.

The moment the two got in the car, Duan Linbai exploded. “Old Comrade Duan, you went overboard just now. Song Fengwan is still a child. How could you…”

“I didn’t tell you two to get married or do anything else now. Why are you causing a ruckus?” Father Duan snorted coldly. “It’s just some interaction. Are your thoughts dirty? Are you mistaken about something?”

Duan Linbai’s face was ashen from anger.?The f*cking thief is calling me a thief! He clearly made the decision without my consent and offended Third Fu. How can he say that I have a dirty mind? He’s turning the blame on me!

“Besides, this is the first time I’ve seen you be so attentive to a young lady in so many years. I thought you liked her but were thin-skinned, so I helped you.”

Duan Linbai was so angry that his temper disappeared. “I’m thin-skinned?”

When I was young, he used a stick to beat me all day and said that my face was thicker than a city wall. Now, he’s saying that I’m thin-skinned?

“I think that young lady is good. No wonder the Fu family decided on her long ago. It’s just that Fu Yuxiu doesn’t have this fortune. Although she used to be engaged, that’s nothing. I don’t mind.”

“Dad—” Duan Linbai wanted to bang his head against a wall.

What’s the point of you not minding?

She’s Third Fu’s wife.

“Dad, I really don’t have any feelings for her. It’s impossible between us too. She’s not my type at all.”

“Then what kind do you like?”

Duan Linbai was speechless.

“You don’t know yourself either. The family introduced people to you, but you refused to accept them. Baibai, what do you want…” Father Duan sighed, looking as though he was severely angered by him.

“I’m not young anymore. My old classmates are going to have a gathering soon. They’re all bringing their grandchildren along. How can I take this? I’m old now, so I hope you get married soon…

“After you graduated, you didn’t want to work in music and only stepped half a foot into the entertainment industry. I didn’t stop you then. Why is it so difficult for you to find a partner?”

Duan Linbai was speechless.

I’ve yet to settle the score with him, but this person has already put on a bitter act.

Life is too tough.

How should I face Fu Chen tonight? Should I wear a bulletproof vest and buy more insurance?

After the Duan father and son left, Uncle Zhong closed the door. Old Madam Fu invited the few of them to sit down and eat.

“Wanwan, don’t take his words seriously. He simply likes you and thinks you’re outstanding.” Old Madam Fu saw that she was distracted and her eyes were wandering, so she thought she was still thinking about the Duan family.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan smiled uncomfortably. Her gaze suddenly met Fu Chen’s, and she hurriedly retracted it.

This made Fu Chen extremely unhappy.

“I’ll take Huai Sheng to wash his hands.” Song Fengwan dragged Huai Sheng to the bathroom.

Huai Sheng rubbed his hands together with the liquid hand soap and tilted his head to look at Song Fengwan. “Big Sister, are you leaving in the afternoon?”

“Yes, I have to go back for exams.”

“Oh.” Huai Sheng was sensible. Every year, many students and parents would visit the mountain to pray and pay their respects. Most of them prayed for improvement in their studies. Exams were definitely important.

Huai Sheng wiped his hands. “Big Sister, are you hiding from Third Uncle now?”

“Huh?”

“Actually, I already washed my hands a few minutes ago. You don’t seem to remember.” With that, Huai Sheng walked out.

Song Fengwan was embarrassed as she lowered her head to wash her hands.

When she lowered her head to turn on the tap, the bathroom door was pushed open. She turned around subconsciously, but Fu Chen had already dashed in.

His fingers locked the door.

Snap!?The bathroom was locked.

The bathroom wasn’t big, so it was a little crowded with the two of them crammed in.

He went to Huai Sheng’s school today, so he was dressed formally and elegantly.

“Wh-what are you doing?” Song Fengwan hadn’t figured out how to face him yet.?How could this person…

“Are you hiding from me?” he asked firmly.

Fu Chen was careful and observant. Moreover, Song Fengwan was young and had yet to learn how to hide her emotions well.

“When did I hide from you?” Song Fengwan’s voice was fleeting and lacked confidence.

“Then look at me.”

“Why do I have to look at you?” She pressed the hand soap a few times, lowered her head, and kept rubbing the foam.

Suddenly, she felt him approaching…

At this moment, Song Fengwan was completely sure of Fu Chen’s feelings for her.

But her heart was in turmoil, and she didn’t know how to face him at all.

“Third Master, you…” Song Fengwan muttered softly.

“In the kitchen last night…” Fu Chen’s voice was low and pleasant.

“What kitchen?” Song Fengwan bit her lip and pretended not to know.

Indeed, whatever you feared would happen.

“You drank too much last night and forcibly kissed me in the kitchen.” Fu Chen’s expression was relaxed. He could tell from the way she was avoiding his eyes when he entered that she still remembered what had happened last night.

Song Fengwan’s fingers tightened slightly.?How can this person be so shameless? He’s obviously the one who did it to me last night…

“You were drunk last night and looking for water in the kitchen. I happened to pass by, but you did such a thing to me. Don’t tell me you want to pretend that nothing happened after waking up?

“Or do you remember? But you refuse to admit it after taking liberties. This kind of behavior is not desirable.”

If she didn’t remember what had happened last night, she would have really been deceived by Fu Chen.

“You’re spouting nonsense. I didn’t do…” Song Fengwan was so angry that her whole body was trembling.

She hadn’t noticed that Fu Chen had such a side to him before.

“Shh…” Fu Chen whispered. “There’s someone outside. Be quiet.”

“You’re the one refusing to admit to taking liberties with me and even framed me. Who’s the shameless one?” Song Fengwan gritted her teeth in anger.

“You do remember. Wanwan, it’s not good to lie.”

Song Fengwan was exasperated.?This person is really too devious. He probably used those words to provoke me.

Fu Chen corrected, “It’s Third Brother.”

“Shameless.” She gnashed her teeth.

Fu Chen smiled instead of getting angry.

“You’ve been avoiding me ever since I entered the house. You don’t want to see me?” he asked, ignoring her embarrassment.

Song Fengwan’s heart was even more flustered. “Get out first…”

“Do you hate me now? Do you think I’m disgusting? Do you not want to be involved with me?” Fu Chen wasn’t confident inside. After all, there was their age difference. So from the start, he could only guide her patiently and systematically, for fear that she would run away in shock.

“No.”?Disgusting??Song Fengwan didn’t feel that way.

“Then, do you like me?” Fu Chen lowered his head. His voice was low and coaxing.

Song Fengwan’s body stiffened, and she didn’t dare to move casually.

She had thought of many ways to deal with Fu Chen, but she hadn’t expected him to be so direct and ask her directly if she liked him.?He’s too bold.

“Third Master…”

“What did you call me?” Fu Chen’s voice sounded slightly displeased.

“Third Brother.”

Upon receiving a satisfactory answer, Fu Chen let out a low laugh.

Suddenly, Song Fengwan’s phone vibrated. She still had water on her hands, so she hurriedly wiped her hands and took out her phone. It was Qiao Aiyun. “Get out of the way. I want to answer the call.”

“Then answer it.” Fu Chen refused to go.

Since she was about to leave, there would be fewer opportunities to talk to her like this. How could he let her go so easily?

Song Fengwan had no choice but to answer the phone like this. “Hey, Mom.”

She and Fu Chen were still in this small space, which was suffocating.

“When you leave later, remember to bring everything. Don’t forget anything. Also, you have to thank the Fu family properly. You can’t be rude.”

“I know.” Song Fengwan twisted her body uneasily.

“It’s all thanks to them taking care of you during this period. We’ve disturbed the Fu family enough. This makes me feel embarrassed.” Qiao Aiyun had a particularly good impression of Fu Chen.

Song Fengwan frowned.?This person did take care of me.

But…

He also had ulterior motives and other goals.

“Especially Fu Chen, you have to thank him properly.”

“Oh.”

“Okay then, you should go ahead. I’m hanging up now.” Qiao Aiyun didn’t say more than a few sentences before ending the call. Just as Song Fengwan heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a warm touch on the top of her head.

The light kiss was fleeting.

Her fingers shook, and she nearly threw her phone.

“Aunt Yun is right. You should thank me properly. Take this as your thank you gift.” Fu Chen was close, so he had naturally heard the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly.

Song Fengwan gritted her teeth in anger.

She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen someone so shameless and self-righteous.

“I’m still going to school. Besides, I’ve never thought of…” Song Fengwan was anxious to get out of her current predicament. There were intermittent conversations outside, and her heart was in chaos.

“Do you like Linbai?” He suddenly interrupted her.

Song Fengwan blurted out, “How is that possible? I don’t like him at all.”

“You said before that you don’t have any improper thoughts about me. But now, I allow you to have impure and improper thoughts about me…

“I’m not in a hurry. I can wait for you slowly.

“We can take it slow.”

“…” Song Fengwan didn’t know what to say.

“I don’t want you to feel burdened. I just want you to know…

“I like you.”

His voice was low and seductive as it knocked on her heart bit by bit.

Fu Chen left the bathroom. Song Fengwan had to calm herself down for a long time before she walked out in a daze…

Mom, someone wants to date me.
