She turned around and saw Sheng Aiyi and the big shot of the Jing family. The two of them had just gotten out of the car. From their clothes, she could tell that they had just returned from a trip.

Her fingertips were trembling, and her keys fell to the ground. She hurriedly bent down to pick them up. “Uncle, Auntie.”

“Are you here to play?” Sheng Aiyi smiled at her. Her eyes were lively and bright as she stared at her, seemingly able to see through her thoughts completely.

“Yes.”

“It’s almost time for dinner. Leave after eating?”

“No thanks. I still have something to do at the store. Goodbye, Uncle and Auntie.”

Sheng Aiyi and a certain big shot watched Xu Yuanfei get into her car. She was nervous and anxious. Before the car started, she actually turned off the engine twice in a row. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bang her head into a wall. After finally starting the car, she said goodbye to the two of them before driving away quickly.

“She seems very nervous and afraid. Is our family that scary?” Sheng Aiyi frowned.

“How is that possible? This girl is too timid.” A certain big shot snorted coldly.

“Look at how frightened she is. Her face is pale. Is it alright to drive back like this?”

“It should be fine. There’s not much traffic in Chuanbei.”

“The young lady runs her own dessert shop. She usually makes desserts and even helps deliver them. It’s not easy for her to work hard in the capital, and she’s willing to endure hardships. This child is good and speaks softly.”

“She really looks a little familiar.” A certain big shot frowned.

But he usually saw a lot of people, so he couldn’t remember.

“As long as it’s a beautiful young lady, you’re familiar with her.” Sheng Aiyi harrumphed coldly and walked into the house.

Fu Chen and the others had yet to leave, so they ate dinner at the Jing residence before going back.

***

Lingnan, Xu residence…

Previously, Xu Yuanfei had been nervous, guilty, and uneasy. She had returned to the store to keep herself busy for a while. When she returned home, her heart was still palpitating, and her mind was a mess.

But all of this couldn’t hide the euphoria in her heart.

Xu Yao was sitting not far away and playing a mobile game with his head lowered. Suddenly, his father bumped his arm. “What’s wrong with your sister recently?”

“What’s wrong with her?” Xu Yao didn’t even look up.

“She’s watching Focus Interview. Why is she smiling foolishly?”

“Really?”

“Is she in love?”

“In love? How is that possible? She’s so busy all day. Other than being busy in the store, she only delivers goods to customers. How could she have time?” Xu Yao was thinking about the game and had no time to care about this.

“By the way, when you went to the Fu family’s wedding banquet, you met the Jing family, right? Did anything happen?” Master Xu only realized it a few months later and suddenly remembered this matter.

Xu Yao’s fingers trembled. When he thought of Jing Hanchuan smashing one of his eyes and threatening him with photos, he was furious. “Nothing happened.”

“That’s good. I was worried that you would be bullied since you went alone. You two have fought since you were young, but you’ve never won.”

“That’s because he was older and taller than me!” Xu Yao explained.

“That brat is too much, and his family also knows how to scheme. They said that if your sister was disfigured, they would marry her and be responsible for her for the rest of her life. My daughter wants him to be responsible? I only have one daughter? Dream on!

“No one dares to marry into their family, so they started having designs on our family?

“They wish!”

Xu Yao snorted coldly. “That’s right. Besides, Jing Hanchuan already has a girlfriend.”

“That brat has a girlfriend?”

“He said it himself. He held hands with her and even f*cking showed off to me!”

“Then why are you still playing games? Go out and date! Go out and flirt with girls. What’s so fun about games?” A certain someone exploded. “You can’t lose to him!”

Xu Yao was dumbfounded. Is there a need to compete in this?

Xu Yuanfei heard the two arguing not far away and turned to look. “What are you two talking about?”

“Nothing!” Master Xu still thought that Jing Hanchuan was definitely his daughter’s nightmare. It was strictly forbidden for the Xu family to mention him in front of her. This name was a taboo in the Xu family.

Xu Yuanfei frowned. Why are these two so mysterious?

At this moment, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Jing Hanchuan.

[Did you eat the pomegranates?]

Xu Yuanfei immediately ran to her room with her phone, feeling guilty and afraid of being discovered. “Dad, I’m going to bed first. You should rest early too.”

“Go ahead.”

Then a certain someone turned around and discussed how to flirt with girls with Xu Yao.

Xu Yao looked up at the ceiling speechlessly. Your flirting techniques from more than twenty years ago are already outdated. If I use the same methods as before, I’ll be beaten up!

How innocent was Mom back then? She was actually tricked by this kind of thing. She must have been deceived back.

But his parents had also caught up with the trend back then. He heard that they had eloped and gotten pregnant out of wedlock. They had been caught and brought back, and his father’s legs had almost been broken by his grandfather’s stick. Later, his grandparents really had no choice but to agree to the two of them being together.

Fortunately, the two of them truly loved each other and were very happy after getting married.

“In short, you can’t lose to the Jing family. Hurry up and get into a relationship! If even someone like Jing Hanchuan can find a girlfriend, why can’t you? Are you inferior to him?”

“How is that possible?! There are many people after me.” Xu Yao was unhappy when he heard this.

“Then bring one back for me! Don’t tell me you’re a virgin!”

Xu Yao was dumbfounded and stammered, “No, of course not! I’m very experienced!”

“Continue bragging.”

Xu Yao wanted to cry. Is he still my f*cking father?

At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was lying on her bed and happily texting with Jing Hanchuan. Although they were only talking about unimportant things, her heart skipped a beat every time her phone vibrated.

She smiled like a fool.

On another side…

Fu Chen and the others came out of the Jing residence. Tang Jingci was currently staying in Yishui Community. Duan Linbai would pass by on his back, and the two of them had a cooperative relationship, so he naturally wanted to send her back diligently.

When they reached the entrance of the building, Duan Linbai specially got out of the car to talk to her.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Are you really fine staying here alone? Do you really not need me to arrange another place for you?”

“No need.”

“If there’s anything, tell me anytime. Do you want me to pick you up for the award ceremony of Beijing University’s design competition the day after tomorrow?” Duan Linbai was a sponsor of the competition, so he definitely had to go.

“Sure. Sorry to trouble you.” Tang Jingci didn’t decline. It was troublesome to take a taxi there by herself, and it wasn’t a bad idea to hitch a ride.

The two of them chatted casually for a while more. When Duan Linbai saw her get into the elevator, he hummed the song ‘Nunchucks’ and drove away.

Tang Jingci had a very comfortable day today and was in a good mood. As soon as she reached the floor, she saw a familiar figure. She was delighted and walked over.

The next second…

Qiao Xiyan pressed her against the wall.

The scorching kiss was like fire, and her body stiffened.

A heart-palpitating pain came from her lips.

Is this person crazy? He bit me the moment he opened his mouth.
