Fu Sinian hadnât expected Fu Chen to be back so soon. He was even holding a steaming glass of milk.
His brows were furrowed, and his expression was severe, looking like he was angry.
He sighed, feeling sorry for Song Fengwan.
Fu Sinian had a good impression of her from when he picked her up at the train station to when she ate in the Fu residence. She was very obedient and neither timid nor obsequious, and she gave off a comfortable feeling. He treated her purely as a younger sister. There were no girls in the Fu family, and she was docile and obedient. No wonder his grandmother liked her.
This was why when she appeared in Fu Chenâs room, he was a little surprised. His grandfather was happy tonight, and he didnât want to ruin his good mood, so he wanted to send her away.
She looked gentle and quiet, but he hadnât expected her to be so ambitious.
But Fu Chen returned at this moment.
âFu Sinian, who are you talking to?â His voice was cold.
âSong Fengwan, tell him yourself.â Fu Sinian stuffed the book back on the shelf and even thought,?This little girl is young but actually chose such a book to read. Is she trying to drop a hint to Third Uncle?
Sheâs quite smart, but she isnât using it the right way.
âMe?â Song Fengwanâs heart was trembling from his reprimand. She had yet to snap back to her senses, but he wanted her to speak. What was she supposed to say?
Fu Chen turned around and closed the door. âTell me what?â
Song Fengwanâs face was blank as she thought about it carefully. Only then did she realize what Fu Sinian meant.?Does he think I deliberately ran to Third Brotherâs room to climb into his bed?
She turned around and looked at Fu Sinian in disbelief.
From Fu Sinianâs point of view, this look was one of extreme shock and horror.
Upon thinking that it was rare for his grandfather to be so happy, he was afraid that no one would be at peace tonight if this matter was made public. He frowned. âIf you donât explain it, do you want me to open my mouth?
âYouâre young, and you should use your thoughts on the right path. You and Yuxiu were engaged before. Arenât you clear about your relationship with Third Uncle?
âSever these thoughts that you shouldnât have as soon as possible.â
Fu Sinian spoke very harshly.
If Song Fengwan was really the kind of person he described, she would probably kill herself out of shame. But when she heard what he said, she didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
She nearly laughed out loud, and her face flushed from holding it in so hard.
âWhy are you looking at him? Third Uncle hates this kind of thing the most. Why would he protect you?â Fu Sinianâs face was cold. He already said so much, yet this girl still wasnât leaving?
âDonât you know what kind of person Third Uncle is? Are you still waiting for him to kick you out?â
Seeing Fu Chenâs increasingly grim expression, Fu Sinian sighed helplessly, thinking that Song Fengwan was in deep trouble tonight.
But he didnât know that the one in dangerâ¦
⦠was him.
Fu Chen walked in front of Song Fengwan and passed the glass of milk in his hand to her. âYou canât drink anything cold recently. I just heated it up, so itâs still warm. Drink it and then go to sleep.â
His tone was gentle and loving.
âOkay.â Song Fengwan took the glass of milk and leaned against him. âWhat should we do? He seems to have misunderstood.â
When Fu Chen passed her the glass of milk, Fu Sinian was stunned.
âLet me introduce her again. Sheâs your Third Aunt.â
Fu Sinian had lived for 30 years, but this was the first time he had experienced what it meant by ârolling thunder and to be struck on the crown by lightningâ.
He was really shocked.?Song Fengwan isnât an ordinary young lady, so why is Third Uncle with herâ¦?
The term âThird Auntâ instantly made Song Fengwan blush.
Fu Chen picked up her clothes and passed them to her. âGo back to your room first. Iâll find you later.â
âOkay.â Holding the glass of milk, Song Fengwan took her clothes and walked out the door.
As of now, Fu Sinianâs mind was blank.?Heâs still going to find her later?
Is he planning to have a clandestine love affair under Grandpaâs and Grandmaâs noses?
These two are really too bold.
***
The door closed, and Fu Chen entered the room. He sat directly on a chair, picked up his Buddhist prayer bead bracelet on the table, and stroked the dangling hibiscus stone with his fingertips.
âThird Uncle, you and herâ¦â Fu Sinian thought of himself as a very calm and collected person. In the past, he had learned archery, so he was even calmer than ordinary people. Even so, he was still shocked.
âWhatâs wrong?â Fu Chenâs tone was gentle and somewhat indifferent.
âYouâre asking me whatâs wrong? Sheâs only a senior high school student. Sheâs not even an adult yet, right?â
Fu Sinian remembered that she was younger than him by 12 whole years.
âSheâll be an adult this year.â
Fu Sinian gave him a cold look. âBesides, she was engaged to Yuxiu before and nearly became your niece-in-law. If Second Aunt finds out that youâre with her now, have you ever thought about Second Uncleâs familyâs feelings?â
âItâs fine as long as I feel good about marrying my wife. What does this have to do with their family?â This was Fu Chenâs usual style of speaking and doing things, very eccentric and unreasonable.
âThen, have you thought about what will happen if Grandpa and Grandma find out about this?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you donât tell them, they wonât know.â Fu Chenâs tone was firm.
Fu Sinian took a deep breath and suddenly remembered something. âDuan Linbai said in the group chat that I would be very interested in Little Sister-in-Law. He only said that because he knows her identity, right?â
Fu Chen didnât deny it.
âThird Uncleâ¦â Fu Sinian leaned against the bookshelf, reached out to remove his glasses, and pinched his glabella, feeling a terrible headache.
This little girl is only eighteen this year, but Iâm already thirty. I have to call her Third Aunt?
This is too upsetting.
Judging by their interactions and the time Duan Linbai mentioned it, theyâve obviously been together for more than a day or two. How old is this girl? How can Third Uncle possibly lay his hands on her? Heâs a little insane.
Besides, Grandma once suggested that she marry me too. What kind of rotten mess is this?
âSinian.â Fu Chen looked at him with a serious expression.
Fu Sinian frowned, not knowing what to say.
âYouâll keep this a secret for me, right?â
âYouâve conned me so many times. Why do you think I should help you?â
âWanwan will have to take exams soon, and the college entrance exam is in June. I donât want her to be distracted at this time.â
âDo you have the right to say that?â Fu Sinian sneered. âYou knew she was going to take the college entrance exam, yet you still seduced her into falling in love early. Arenât you the one distracting her?â
âI like her too much, so I canât help it. Iâve reflected on this before too,â Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.
Fu Sinian didnât see the slightest trace of shame on his face. Moreover, this indirect method of self-reflection to show off their affection was really asking for a beating.
âThen, when are you planning to come clean with Grandpa and Grandma?â
âWhen the time is right.â
âWhat do you plan to do if I insist on telling them?â
Fu Chen smiled at him. âWhat else can I do?
âWhen the time comes, donât blame me for being ruthless as your uncle.
âWe grew up together. You should be aware that I have thousands of ways to torture you. If you donât let me have an easy time, I naturally wonât let you feel comfortable either.
âYou know what Iâm capable of. Go ahead and try it.â
Fu Sinian felt a chill run down his spine.
He had been caught red-handed, but he controlled and threatened the other party instead. Fu Sinian had never seen anything like this before.
âThird Uncle, are you threatening me?â
âItâs a discussion.â Fu Chen smiled.
âSince I returned to the country, youâve been targeting me these days. Was it all because of her?â Fu Sinian finally linked up everything that had happened recently. âI have nothing to do with her at all. Why are you so jealous?â
âI was purely displeased.â His tone was matter-of-factly.
Fu Sinian nearly bent and broke his glasses.?Heâs too arrogant.
If it had been anyone else, he would definitely not have been able to tolerate it. But he was his third uncle. No matter how angry he was, he could only hold himself back.
âSinian, you wonât have a good ending if you oppose me. You know better than anyone else. Sheâs your aunt. On account of your lack of knowledge, Iâll pretend I didnât hear what you said earlier.â
â¦
When Fu Sinian returned to his room, he felt dizzy.
He turned on his phone and scrolled through the group chat history. Only then did he understand the deeper meaning behind Duan Linbaiâs words. Under the unread notifications, there were many messages from Fu Yuxiu.
He was just asking him to plead for leniency in front of his grandparents and even told him how much he liked the girl. He was simply trying to win him over.
What kind of relationship did that girl and Song Fengwan have?
No one could stop Fu Chen from doing what he wanted to do. It was only a matter of time before Song Fengwan entered the Fu family. Fu Yuxiu still wanted to marry that woman?
Heâs simply delusional.
Third Uncle can kill him.
Is he stupid? Itâs been so long, but he still hasnât realized Third Uncle treats Song Fengwan differently.
He might not even know how he will die in the future.
He took a shower and turned on his computer to check on the operation of the new software. Someone knocked on the door.
He got up to open the door. âThird Uncle, is there anything else?â
âI forgot to remind you of something.â
Fu Sinian pursed his lips and didnât speak, guessing that it wasnât something good.
âIn the future, when necessary, you have to cover for us at home.â
Fu Sinian returned to the computer and gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Heâs asking me to help with his affair?
After this, I wonât be able to escape. Third Uncle will definitely drag me down into these muddy waters with him.
In terms of wisdom, schemes, and shrewdness, truly no one can outsmart him. When this matter comes to light in the future, Iâll probably be beaten up as well. How did I foolishly become an accomplice?
