Chapter 405: Niannian Eating Little Fish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Fu Chen returned from dinner at the old residence, he was feeling very depressed. He and Song Fengwan were still in an underground relationship. Why were these two people able to be so open and aboveboard, and they even did that…

He was in a bad mood, causing Fu Xinhan to suffer as well.
***
Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi had already arrived at the condo building.
“Are you staying here tonight?” Fu Sinian had been busy preparing for the birthday banquet the past few days and stayed in the old residence. Even though he had moved some things to her condo, he had never stayed there once.
“You don’t want me to stay?” he asked softly.
Fu Sinian held the shopping bag in his hand, looking displeased.
“No.” Yu Manxi naturally wanted to be with him every moment.
“You want me to stay?” Fu Sinian asked.
Yu Manxi didn’t say anything. Why is this person so stubborn? Many things don’t need to be said so clearly. She just quickly pulled him into the elevator.
The moment they got out of the elevator, he practically half-carried Yu Manxi into the condo. The things bought from the supermarket were scattered all over the floor…
The moonlight outside was bright, and it quietly hid behind the clouds. They seemed to be the only ones in the entire room.
Even the kitten curled up in its nest only looked up a few times and seemed to shrink back into its nest shyly.
…
When Yu Manxi woke up the next day, she only felt that the surroundings were very quiet. There was a faint fragrance of pine branches in the room. This…
The moment she opened her eyes, she found that she was in Fu Sinian’s room. The floor lamp at the side was still emitting dim light, and the curtains were closed. It was silent.
“Awake?” A hoarse male voice came from behind her.
“What time is it?” Yu Manxi tried to divert her attention.
“Four-thirty,” Fu Sinian said faintly.
“It’s only four-thirty. My mouth is dry…”
“I’ll get you some water.” Fu Sinian got up, wrapped himself in his sleeping robe, and walked out. Yu Manxi took a deep breath. She kept feeling that everything that had happened yesterday was like a dream.
Fu Sinian poured her a glass of warm water. Yu Manxi drank half of it, and the rest entered his stomach.
Perhaps they had slept too late last night…
The two of them chatted for a while before falling asleep again.
…
When Yu Manxi woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning. Fu Sinian was no longer in bed. She rubbed her temples, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed.
She grabbed the sleeping robe Fu Sinian had placed aside, wrapped it around herself, and walked out.
Fu Sinian was standing by the balcony window in the living room and on the phone.
Hearing movement in the room, he turned to look at her, and his gaze landed on her bare feet…
There was a carpet in Fu Sinian’s house, so it wasn’t cold. He frowned and walked to the shoe cabinet at the door to get a pair of slippers for her.
Seeing him on the phone, Yu Manxi didn’t dare to say anything.
“… Yes, she just woke up. We won’t be going over for lunch.
“You don’t have to bring us food. I’ll order something later.
“Make some chicken soup? I’ll search for a recipe online…”
After Fu Sinian hung up, Yu Manxi looked at him with a depressed expression. “I skipped work today. The new director will definitely kill me!”
After the previous director was investigated and dismissed, the new director was a woman in her fifties. She was usually very strict, but she was very capable in her work and treated everyone equally. Yu Manxi had learned a lot from her.
“I’ve asked for leave for you.”
“Who did you ask?”
“I called Duan Linbai. He should have called your director.”
Fu Sinian spoke without much emotion, seemingly like he was discussing something in a formulaic manner.
“Young Master Duan?” Yu Manxi was even more depressed. “What did you tell him?”
“I said we were busy last night, and you can’t get up today, so I wanted him to do me a favor. I don’t have your colleagues’ phone numbers.”
Busy last night?
This phrase is really…
It was easy for people to think too much. With Duan Linbai’s unrestrained nature, he must have already guessed something.
“Doesn’t that mean he knows we…”
“Yes, he even asked you to rest more,” Fu Sinian said matter-of-factly.
“Then, who were you on the phone with just now? It definitely wasn’t Young Master Duan, right?” Yu Manxi had interacted with Duan Linbai a few times. This person had a frivolous personality and absolutely had nothing to do with chicken soup.
“My mom. She called us to go over for lunch. I saw that you were sleeping, so I declined.”
Yu Manxi completely broke down.
We just did it. Why do so many people know?
1
Isn’t this fatal?
How am I going to face anyone in the future?
“Do you have any chicken at home? My mom asked me to cook you some chicken soup to nourish your body.” Fu Sinian lowered his head and was already browsing through various information online on chicken soup.
The corners of Yu Manxi’s mouth twitched. She decided to go home and take a shower. When she opened the door, she saw her high heels at his doorstep.
She had obviously kicked them off yesterday.
Her head suddenly hurt. How crazy were we last night?
After she returned to her senses, she saw that the shopping bag was still at the door.
Fu Sinian followed behind her and tidied up her shoes and the shopping bag.
When they reached her bedroom, he said, “I just woke up too, so I haven’t had time to help you clean up. Don’t move. I’ll help you get your things.”
Yu Manxi wasn’t in a lot of pain. While Fu Sinian helped her tidy up her bedroom, she cooked soup and two dishes in the kitchen, which were enough for the two of them.
While eating, Yu Manxi asked, “You didn’t tell anyone else about this, right?”
Fu Sinian took out his phone, opened WeChat, and scrolled up the group chat.
Little White Dragon in the Waves: [Hehe, Eldest Nephew finally started eating meat last night. Congratulations!]
[@Fu Sinian, come out quickly. It’s such a happy occasion. As the person involved, you have to come out and say a few words.]
[F*ck, why am I so excited?]
…
Jing Hanchuan: [Congratulations!]
Then Fu Sinian sent red packets in the group chat. The name of the red packets was:
[Thank you, everyone.]
Yu Manxi wanted to cry. This shameless person even sent red packets?
But a certain someone in the group chat didn’t accept his red packet.
Because of this, Duan Linbai specially @ him.
Little White Dragon in the Waves: [Third Fu, as his uncle, you should come out and say a few words at a time like this. Why didn’t you accept the red packet?]
Jing Hanchuan: [Fu Chen is obviously pretending to be dead. You keep @’ing him. Wouldn’t this make him uncomfortable?]
Little White Dragon in the Waves: [Oh, Eldest Nephew, work harder and strive to let our Third Fu hold his grandson soon.]
Jing Hanchuan: [Hold his grandson?]
Little White Dragon in the Waves: [If Sinian has a child, the child will call Fu Chen Grandpa. Is there a problem?]
The group chat instantly fell silent…
At the time, Fu Chen was secretly watching the group chat. When he read that Fu Sinian had succeeded, he felt uncomfortable.

What does he mean by holding a grandson soon?
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The phone screen was dim, reflecting his dark eyes.
His gaze was burning as if it could kill.
If Duan Linbai was in front of Fu Chen now, he would definitely be killed.
Only now did Yu Manxi know that the outcome of Duan Linbai knowing something was equivalent to the entire world knowing because he had posted it on his WeChat Moments.
