Early next morningâ¦
Shi Fang received a call from Fu Chen, so he bought some breakfast and sent it upstairs. The moment he entered the room, he saw Fu Chen just coming out of the shower. The blanket was slightly raised, so Song Fengwan must not have woken up yet.
He made his way in stealthily and placed the steamed dumplings and soy milk on the table. âThird Master.â
âYou and Qian Jiang take a day off today.â He would definitely keep Song Fengwan company at all times, so he naturally didnât need these two third wheels.
Shi Fang nodded and left.
F*ckâ¦
Did they sleep together last night?
The exam just ended. Is Third Master such a brute?
Fu Chen sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the person still wrapped in the blanket and sleeping soundly. âWanwan.â
He called out a few times before Song Fengwan managed to force open her eyes. When their eyes met, her face flushed red.
When she thought of what had happened last night, her palms still felt like they were on fire.
It had been too dark last night, so she hadnât been able to see Fu Chenâs face clearly. But she could clearly remember his deep and intoxicating low panting as he leaned beside her ear and the hot beads of perspiration rolling down his scorching hot skinâ¦
She initially wanted to peek at him, but Fu Chen reached out to cover her face.
âWanwan, donât look.â
His burning palm covered her eyes, making them red and dry from the heat.
His hoarse and deep voice was so seductive that it made her body go weak.
She never knewâ¦
He could last so long.
She clearly remembered that during one time, after just a few minutes, heâ¦
Song Fengwan buried her head in the blanket, wishing she could die on the bed. It was too embarrassing.?My brain must have short-circuited last night. I actually helped him for real. Itâs crazy.
âGet up and eat.â Fu Chen, on the other hand, looked satiated.
Song Fengwan got up and scurried to the bathroom. After a few minutes, she opened the door and stuck her head out. âThird Brother, do you have pajamas?â
Then a certain someone handed her his own shirt.
Song Fengwan took the shirt and considered it for a long time before putting it on in the end. It barely covered her thighs. Her dress was already all wrinkled since she had slept in it all night yesterday, so it was unsightly.
When she came out wearing the shirt, Fu Chen had already placed the steamed buns and soy milk on the table. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and when his gaze landed on her fair and slender legs, his eyes narrowed.
They were so fair that they were striking.
Actually, Fu Chenâs shirt was too big to reveal anything. Song Fengwan sat on the sofa and lowered her head to eat. She was really a little hungry.
âAunt Yun doesnât know youâve come here?â
âMhm.â How could Song Fengwan dare to tell her directly?
âHow many days can you stay?â
âI have to go back by tomorrow at the latest. I still have to pack my things and go to Nanjiang. Uncle Yan is too anxious. During summer vacation, they plan on taking the wedding photos, inviting guests, and arranging a banquet. After they send me to school in September, theyâll go on their honeymoon. Theyâll be gone for around half a month and be back during National Day.â
Fu Chen picked up a straw and inserted it into a soy milk bottle. He tested the temperature before bringing it to Song Fengwanâs mouth. âTime is quite tight.â
âThatâs right. Thatâs why weâre in such a hurry to go back.â Song Fengwan took two sips of soy milk with the straw. âPerhaps my summer vacation in Nanjiang will be longer.â
âOkay.â Fu Chen really couldnât show any dissatisfaction with this matter. When the two of them got married, Yan Wangchuan would be his father-in-law. Based on the relationship between the Fu and the Qiao families, his family would definitely send someone to attend the wedding banquet and prepare generous gifts.
âMy mom is afraid that Iâll be bored, so when the college entrance exam results come out, she plans to find me a driving school to learn how to drive a car. On hot days, I think Iâll die.â Song Fengwan still remembered that Qiao Xiyan also studied for his driverâs license during the senior year summer vacationâ¦
He became as tanned as burnt charcoal.
He had been dark and skinny. She had gone to play with him for two days. The instructor had been especially fierce and hit people without hesitation. He had been too scary.
âCome here in autumn. The course isnât rushed, so you can take the test here.â Fu Chen naturally couldnât bear to see her suffer. It was indeed tough to learn to drive in summer.
âWhat if I canât get into the Central Academy of Fine Arts?â Song Fengwan muttered softly.
âIâll accompany you to study.â Fu Chen had already thought about this. Four years in university was too long, so he was really worried.?Iâve waited for so long and finally made it to her graduation from high school. How can I let someone poach her?
Song Fengwan had just finished eating two steamed dumplings when her phone on the table rang. It was Qiao Aiyun. She wiped her hands and hurriedly answered. âHi, Mom.â
Her voice was obedient and sweet.
âWhen are you coming home?â
âIâm going out to play with my friend today. Iâll probably come back tomorrow.â
âWhere does your friend live? Is there anyone at home? Itâs not good for you to stay in someone elseâs house like this.â Qiao Aiyun would never have expected her obedient and sensible daughter to lie.
âThereâs no one at her house. She lives alone. I can accompany her for a few days.â
Fu Chen laughed softly, making Song Fengwan glare at him fiercely.
Isnât it because of you that Iâm lying? You actually have the cheek to laugh.
âThen, what are you two eating? Why donât you bring your friend home for a meal?â
âNo need. Weâre going out soon. Iâm hanging up first.â
Song Fengwan hung up without waiting for her to speak. She was flustered, and her ears were completely red. The feeling of lying was really unpleasant.
***
Because Song Fengwan had been on a plane all night yesterday and had also nestled in Fu Chenâs arms, chatting late into the night before going to bed at around four, she couldnât take it anymore. After eating, she crawled into bed and continued sleeping. Fu Chen changed his clothes and started to deal with the work at hand.
Other than Shi Fang and Qian Jiang, Fu Chen also had a team of secretaries. When they found out that Fu Chen was in the company, they naturally had to send the documents over.
âThird Master.â Fu Chenâs secretaries were all male, and they were all capable and dutiful people.
âYouâre just in time to meet a client with me.â Fu Chen didnât know that Song Fengwan would suddenly come. He had already made an appointment with someone, so it wasnât good to cancel it at the last minute.
âOkay.â
âTell the people outside that no one is allowed to come up today.â
The secretary nodded. Actually, usually, no one dared to come here either.
Fu Chen was afraid that Song Fengwan would wake up early, so he wrote a note and placed it on the bedside table. He would only take about two hours to go out and come back, which wouldnât be too long.
Usually, when Fu Chen went out, Shi Fang was the one following him. This secretary was trembling in fear, as though he was facing a formidable enemy, afraid that he wouldnât serve a certain master well.
Meeting the client only took half an hour. Afterward, Fu Chen made a trip to a dry cleaner and washed a dressâ¦
The secretary was instantly dumbstruck.
Third Master had been carrying a bag along the way and didnât even allow him to touch it. In the end, it contained a dress in it?
He had a child of his own, and only girls would wear this style. Third Masterâ¦
After this, he followed Fu Chen to shop at a womenâs clothing store. A certain someone was very quick. He picked a set of clothes, paid the bill, and left immediately. He also bought desserts, biscuits, and bubble tea. They were all things little girls liked to eat.
The secretary helped carry the things with mixed feelings.
He recalled what Fu Chen had reminded him before leaving the office. He was a secretary, so he was naturally astute and used to observing peopleâs body language. There was definitely someone in Third Masterâs lounge, and they had definitely spent the night together.
It was as if he had suddenly discovered a shocking secret, scaring him so much that his face turned pale.
Third Master was famous for having no desires and staying abstinent. He was even messing around in the company?
On the way back, Fu Chen looked at the secretary, who was driving. âDo you know what you came out to do with me today?â
âJust meeting a client.â
âAside from thatâ¦â
âNothing else.â His lips were quivering a little.
Fu Chen tilted his head and looked out the window without saying anything else.
The secretary heaved a long sigh of relief. He managed to keep his job.

Over in Yunchengâ¦
Qiao Aiyun called Song Fengwan, tidied up a little, and planned to go out.
She and Yan Wangchuan were going to get their marriage certificate today. The day after the college entrance examination coincided with the weekend, so she could only wait one more day. After breakfast, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She didnât deliberately choose a date, so she didnât expect there to be so many people queuing outside.
Along the way, Yan Wangchuan appeared very calm and taciturn as usual. When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, his expression instantly changed.
His expressions were already scarce to begin with, but now, it could even be described as frosty and ugly. Not only was he expressionless, but he was even a little intimidating.
Because of their age, many people turned their heads to look at them. Qiao Aiyun was famous in Yuncheng, and young people liked to watch the news. Many people recognized them, but the expression of the man beside her was too scary.
Those who didnât know might even think that Qiao Aiyun had put a knife on his neck to force him to marry her.
âDonât scowl. We came to get the certificate today, but youâre scaring others.â Qiao Aiyun nudged his arm.
âI canât smile.â Yan Wangchuanâs breathing was low and heavy.
âBut you shouldnât always keep a sullen face.â
âIâm nervous.â While speaking, he grabbed Qiao Aiyunâs hand tightly. His palm was hot and sweaty. It wasnât easy to sweat so much in June.
Qiao Aiyun saw that the corners of his mouth were dry. He had refused when she told him to drink water in the morning, so he definitely wouldnât look good when they took their photo later.
She pulled her hand out, wanting to go buy him a bottle of water. Yan Wangchuan grabbed her arm. âYou want to run away from the marriage?â
Qiao Aiyun didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âIâm going to buy you a bottle of water. Line up here and donât leave.â
Yan Wangchuan stared at her disappearing back, and it felt like there was a hint of fury.
The process of obtaining the marriage certificate wasnât slow. But when they were filling out the forms, the staff even asked a few times, âAre you really here to get a certificate? This is the marriage registration office.â
âWeâre really here to get the certificate.â Qiao Aiyun was speechless.
This certain someone was pulling a long face. People who didnât know better would think that he was here to get a divorce.
It was even more awkward when they were taking photos.
âSir, can you be a little more natural? Donât scowl the whole time. The photo wonât look good if youâre like this.â The photographer had seen countless newlyweds, and there were some who got nervous, but it was the first time he had seen such a stiff man at their age.
âWhy donât you smile?â After all, the photo had to be pasted on the marriage certificate and viewed for a lifetime.
Qiao Aiyun could clearly feel that the hand of a certain someone beside her was so hot that it was all sweaty.
âMister, Iâm sorry. Heâ¦â Qiao Aiyun coughed twice. âHe doesnât know how to smile.â
âThen, move closer a bit.â The photographer also felt helpless when encountering such a person.
In the end, Qiao Aiyun was the one who moved closer.
âMaâam, the husband you found is a little clueless.â The photographer chuckled. âWhy does he always let you take the initiative? Arenât you tired being with him?â
Qiao Aiyun smiled and didnât say anything.
A certain someone was very proactive in certain matters.
After the two of them received their marriage certificate, Yan Wangchuan started making calls to tell the whole world, his mother, and Qiao Wangbei. He even made his secretary send a notice to the head office.
[Today is a joyous day for the owner. Take the afternoon off.]
The employees of the Yan Corporation naturally paid attention to Yan Wangchuanâs gossip. The employees all knew about the matter between him and Qiao Aiyun. As soon as it was announced that it was a joyous day for the owner, they immediately thought that the two of them might have obtained their marriage certificate. If they organized a wedding banquet, they would definitely know.
They didnât care what kind of wife their boss married.
As long as the boss didnât come to the company to scare people, it was better than anything else. There was even a holiday now?
It was simply a cause for celebration.
After this, Yan Wangchuan received many text blessings from many of the companyâs higher-ups.
[Congratulations, President Yan. Happy Wedding.]
[Congratulations on your marriage, President Yan.]
[I hope you and your madam can grow old together and be united forever.]
â¦
A certain someone was instantly satisfied. He felt that he could adjust the companyâs year-end bonuses.
***
Song Fengwan was still sleeping when her phone vibrated. She took out her phone from under her pillow. Qiao Aiyun had sent her a message, saying that they had already gotten their marriage certificate and once again urged her not to stay at her friendâs house for too long and to go home early and such.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a note on the bedside table. She yawned and got out of bed. She wasnât wearing anything on her legs, so it was cold and breezy. She went to the closet to rummage through Fu Chenâs clothes for his pants, rolled the hems up, and put them on loosely.
All his clothes had a faint sandalwood scent, warm and calming.
The note said that he was going to meet a client, so it wasnât appropriate for her to call and send a message to disturb him. She originally wanted to wash her clothes and dry them a little, but they were gone, so she could only entertain herself.
At this moment, Fu Chen had already arrived at the company. â⦠Wait for me at the door. Bring the approved documents down and send them to the various departments.â
âYes.â His secretary was following behind him.
When Fu Chen pushed the door open and entered, Song Fengwan was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and playing âJewel of Atlantisâ.
Their eyes metâ¦
Just as Fu Chen was about to turn around and let his secretary leave, Song Fengwan pounced toward him with a smile.
âThird Brother!â
Song Fengwan practically jumped onto him. The moment she hooked her arms around his neck, Fu Chen subconsciously supported her under the bend of her legs.
The position was ambiguous and wicked.
The secretary behind him was so frightened and flusteredâ¦
