Meanwhile, Qiao Xiyan was depressed because of his father’s words of disdain, and Fu Chen’s situation wasn’t good either.

Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua had gone overseas to visit their son, so they happened not to be in the capital. When the Yan family arrived at the old residence, the two elders of the Fu family were here, and they had even specially asked Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi to accompany them, wanting to talk about Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s marriage.

Because Little Mr. Yan was too young, he had only taken a few sips of milk before squatting in the living room and playing with his toys. Qiao Aiyun was worried about him and could only follow closely behind him.

As a result, Yan Wangchuan was the only parent who could help speak for Song Fengwan at the dining table.

He was a person with few expressions and few words.

No matter what the two Fu elders said, he just said quietly, “I’ll consider it.”

“Alright.”

“Wanwan is still young. We have to consider this at length.”

…

He didn’t say anything definite.

The Fu family couldn’t appear too anxious. Facing such a taciturn and discreet person, Old Master Fu felt a headache.

Even if he was Zhuge Liang’s reincarnation, he still needed the other party’s cooperation. He didn’t say a word. How was he going to handle this?

Actually, Yan Wangchuan was doing it on purpose. They couldn’t just agree to whatever the Fu family said. He had to take this seriously, lest they felt that Song Fengwan had to be Fu Chen.

While the two families were secretly competing, Song Fengwan lowered her head and took a few sips of the warm yellow wine.

It was cold, so the Fu family had specially warmed up the wine. The smell spread throughout the entire house.

Song Fengwan smelled the fragrance and secretly took two sips. Little did she know that the alcohol was too strong. After only two small sips, her head was already dizzy.

At around nine in the evening, it started snowing outside. Qiao Aiyun and the others were still here with their children, so the two elders of the Fu family tidied up the house and asked them to stay the night.

Because the elders of both families were here, Fu Chen naturally couldn’t sleep in the same room as Song Fengwan. But he was worried about her, so he secretly entered Song Fengwan’s room in the middle of the night.

After drinking, she wasn’t behaving herself.

Fu Chen shook his head helplessly. This night had been quite depressing.

…

Early next morning…

He returned to his room at around five o’clock and changed his clothes. He originally planned to copy scriptures, but the wind and snow had been too strong last night, so Uncle Zhong was sweeping the snow at the door with a broom. He grabbed a thick coat and was about to go out to help when he saw Yan Wangchuan already at the door.

Seeing him come out, he narrowed his eyes and sized him up. “You didn’t sleep well last night?”

“No.”

“Then, why did you run back and forth between the two rooms in the middle of the night?”

Fu Chen’s eyes narrowed.

“I feed the baby and change his diapers at night. I heard the movements in your house very clearly.” Yan Wangchuan glanced at him.

His expression seemed to be saying: Everything you did was within my expectations. You can’t escape my eyes. Behave yourself.

Fu Chen was helpless.

***

This day was also the first day of Tang Wangjin’s design exhibition. The exhibition would last for three days. Because the press conference yesterday was quite successful, before the exhibition hall officially opened for business today, a large number of people and reporters had already gathered outside.

It was as if the gloominess from before had already been swallowed up by this snow. No one mentioned it, as if it had never happened.

The headlines of various media outlets were all about the grand opening of the exhibition.

Because Sheng Aiyi had gone to support them at the press conference yesterday, Tang Wangjin had sent someone to deliver tickets to the Jing family early in the morning.

There were a total of three tickets.

But a certain big shot had already arranged to go to the hot spring with his wife. Besides, if they went, others would probably be in no mood to watch the exhibition, so they didn’t intend to go.

Jing Hanchuan didn’t like to go out to begin with. Besides, the weather after the snow was even colder than before. He went out to take a few photos of the snow scenery and was about to go back to develop them when he noticed his Moments updated on his phone.

Xu Yuanfei: [He isn’t my biological brother.]

Below was a video of the backs of a few boys outside the Tang Wangjin exhibition hall.

She took the step of not acknowledging this relative of hers.

There was also Song Fengwan’s message: [Why aren’t you coming?]

Reply: [The store is quite busy.]

Jing Hanchuan’s gaze landed on the three tickets on the table. He held them in his palm and rubbed them carefully. These are tickets for the exhibition tomorrow…

***

Because it had snowed all night, the heavy snow on the ground rustled and creaked when people stepped on it. Jing Hanchuan’s car stopped a distance away, and he walked to the dessert shop.

When he reached the alley, he saw Xu Yuanfei cleaning the snow at the entrance of the store with her head lowered. She was wearing a white down coat and had a red scarf wrapped around half of her face. Her breath turned into white mist, and even the glass window turned white.

At this moment, sunlight seeped out from the gaps in the clouds. The snow on the eaves of the porch started to melt and slowly fall…

A speck of snow slid down the porch eaves.

They all turned into ice water and landed on the top of her head. Xu Yuanfei’s body shivered. She subconsciously looked up and saw snow falling…

She lowered her head and rubbed the water on her head before continuing to work.

Just as the snow slid down again, Xu Yuanfei felt someone approaching. Accompanied by the sound of snow crunching, the person stopped behind her.

She subconsciously turned around. Jing Hanchuan was standing behind her.

His hands were hovering above her head.

“The snow is falling.” Jing Hanchuan’s fingers fell, and there were a few dissolved water droplets on his palm.

“Thank you.” Xu Yuanfei’s face was red. At this moment, snow slid down and landed on the chest of Jing Hanchuan’s coat.

His black down coat was very eye-catching.

Worried that the snow would wet his coat, Xu Yuanfei subconsciously raised her hand to help him brush away the snowflakes. Her fingers slid across his chest…

Perhaps because Xu Yuanfei felt that this action was too intimate, she felt a little uneasy and smiled dryly. “What do you want to order today? The store will open later. If you want to eat something, I can make it for you on the spot.”

She pushed the door open and ran into the dessert store.

“Why don’t you come in and sit for a while? I’ll make you a cup of bubble tea.”

Xu Yuanfei took off her scarf and down coat.

Jing Hanchuan followed her into the store and found a seat by the window to sit down. Soon, Xu Yuanfei came out with the bubble tea. Her gaze landed on the two tickets to Tang Wangjin’s design exhibition on his table, and she was a little surprised.

“You want to see it too? I wanted to go too. It wasn’t easy for me to get a few tickets from Wanwan, but my brother took them to invite his friends.” Xu Yuanfei felt a little helpless.

“Do you want to go?” Jing Hanchuan deliberately asked her.

“Of course I do.”

Actually, Xu Yuanfei didn’t have much knowledge in this aspect. But the artworks were pleasing to the eye, and she just wanted to have some fun.

“Are you free tomorrow?”

“Huh?”

Jing Hanchuan tapped the tickets on the table with his fingers. “Want to go?”

Xu Yuanfei was stunned for a long time.

“Do you want to go with me?”

If Jing Hanchuan told her to go back and steal her household register at this moment, she would have definitely nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she wasn’t moving, Jing Hanchuan got up, picked up the tickets, and took a step toward her. “You don’t want to go with me?”

“No,” Xu Yuanfei immediately denied.

Then she saw the man smile in front of her.

His smile made her heart tremble.

“What’s your address? I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Xu Yuanfei almost subconsciously blurted it out. Just as she was about to say the word Lingnan, she hurriedly changed her words. “You don’t have to pick me up. We can just arrange to meet somewhere. My house is quite remote.”

“The snow is very heavy, and your house is so remote. Is it convenient to drive or take a taxi?” Jing Hanchuan’s expression didn’t change.

“It’s very convenient.”

Xu Yuanfei was a little annoyed.

I almost exposed myself. This man is too good-looking…

He’s indeed someone who can bewitch people.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” When Jing Hanchuan stuffed the ticket into her hands, the part-time workers happened to arrive. They saw the interaction between the two of them and smiled at each other. Xu Yuanfei tightened her grip on the ticket and felt that she was holding a hot potato.

The Jing family members had been waiting at the door. Through the window, they saw that Sixth Master had finally successfully invited someone on a date. They were happy for him. He finally took the initiative to attack.

But when a certain someone left to go home, his expression wasn’t good.

Then the person driving asked, “Sixth Master, where are we going to pick up Miss Xu tomorrow?”

The space in the narrow car became increasingly depressing.

Jing Hanchuan tilted his head and looked out of the window. His fingers kept rubbing his phone, his expression unreadable.

Even a fool could tell that Xu Yuanfei definitely didn’t want to reveal her home address. She didn’t let him send her or pick her up. What’s going on?

“Ahem…” The man in the front passenger seat cleared his throat. “Sixth Master, actually, arranging a date is a good start. Take it slow and step by step. You’ll definitely be able to woo her.

“What are you planning to do on your first date tomorrow other than watch the exhibition?

“After watching the exhibition, you can have a meal and see a movie…”

Jing Hanchuan turned on his phone. The Jing family members thought that he was on Baidu, but little did they know that what he was searching for was [Why do girls refuse to let you send them home?]

“She rejected you. If a girl likes you, how can she let go of the best opportunity to be alone with you?”

“She feels insecure and can’t trust you enough.”

“Your relationship isn’t good, and she doesn’t like boys being too proactive. Or perhaps… you’re too ugly.”

Too ugly…

Jing Hanchuan pinched the space between his eyebrows. His father had said that a woman’s heart was like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, and it would sting when people brought it up.

When he brought up Xu Yuanfei’s heart, it would probably stab his heart.
