The full moon banquet went very smoothly. Yan Wangchuan had to help take care of the child at night, so he didnât dare to drink too much. But Qiao Wangbei drank a lot and saw the guests off. The Yan family didnât sleep until late at night.
âTang Jingci stayed at the Yan residence overnight and slept in Song Fengwanâs room with her.
Qiao Xiyan had helped drink alcohol on Yan Wangchuanâs behalf during the banquet. In the middle of the night, his throat was dry and thirsty, so he went to pour a glass of water. When he passed by Song Fengwanâs room, he could hear laughter inside.
Itâs almost two. What are these two doing instead of sleeping?
He couldnât understand why the two of them had endless topics to talk about.
He knocked on the door. âItâs time to sleep.â
The laughter inside immediately stopped.
After the footsteps left, Tang Jingci lowered her voice. âYour cousin is a bit fierce.â
âItâs alright. He doesnât dare to do anything to us.â Song Fengwan snickered.
âTang Jingci still remembered what Qiao Xiyan had asked her during dinner.
â⦠Are you familiar with the people at that table?â
âTang Jingci shook her head. âNo.â
âThere are basically no good people at that table. Stay away from them, especially the person in a white shirt with a bracelet on his wrist. Among everyone, heâs the worst!â
âI think heâs not bad.â When she first sat down, the man had even called her to eat and poured her coconut juice. He didnât look like a bad person. âBesides, people who believe in Buddhism shouldnât be bad.â
âHe just hides it well. He believes in Buddhism?â Qiao Xiyan chuckled. âIf he really believed in Buddhism so sincerely, he should have left home to be a monk. He shouldnât go around seducing young ladies everywhere.â
âTang Jingci was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, she asked, âDid he snatch your woman?â
Qiao Xiyan almost vomited to death because of her. What kind of thought process is this? But he didnât explain.
Later, when Tang Jingci and Song Fengwan became familiar, she found out that he was her boyfriend. Moreover, Qiao Xiyan had once unintentionally helped him and personally sent his cousin to him. No wonder he was so hostile to him.
âDoes your boyfriend treat you well?â Tang Jingci asked in detail.
âVery well. Have you really never been in a relationship?â Song Fengwan was curious. She was good-looking. How could she have never been in a relationship?
âMy dad hopes that I can find a Chinese man. When I went to school, some people pursued me. Occasionally, I invited classmates to my house. But my dad always asked them some baffling questions and invited them to tour his studio.
âThere are all kinds of machines and jade residue dust inside, and the most common item is knives.
âMy dad once kindly warned my classmates not to touch the machines. He said that they could crush any bones
âAfter that, no one dared to come to my house, and no one dared to woo me anymore.â
Song Fengwan, lying on the bed, almost burst out laughing. âHehe, Second Uncle-Master is really funny. Did he do it on purpose?â
âNo, he just wanted to introduce these things to people. It was out of goodwill. But when he speaksâ¦â Tang Jingci was helpless. âHeâs too straightforward. He showed off his knife skills to my classmates and scared them badly.â
âIn that case, your future boyfriend must have strong mental fortitude.â Song Fengwan tilted her head and looked at her. âHave you ever thought of finding someone in the industry?â
âMy dad introduced me to one before. He was too boring. Shouldnât he ask me out for a meal or something? He asked me to carve togetherâ¦â
Song Fengwan laughed crazily.
Qiao Xiyan passed by Song Fengwanâs room and was speechless.
These two must be crazy. Theyâre laughing so hard in the middle of the night.
But he had a headache, so he couldnât be bothered to care anymore and went back to his room to sleep.

Although the day after the full moon banquet was the weekend, Song Fengwan had to leave early. She wanted to go to Yuncheng to visit Song Jingren in prison. She originally wanted to go on Lunar New Year, but she hadnât been able to arrange a time. This time, her request for a visit was quickly
approved.
Qiao Aiyun didnât force Song Fengwan to do anything, nor did she say anything about Song Jingren and not let her visit him. No matter what, he was her biological father.
She was an adult and had the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
She accompanied Song Fengwan to buy some things. They had been married for many years, so she knew him quite well. She bought some things he had often used that Song Fengwan could bring in.
âFu Chen is accompanying you there?â Qiao Aiyun was definitely worried about her going alone.
âYeah.â Song Fengwan nodded.
Qiao Aiyun helped her pack her luggage before getting Qiao Xiyan to send them to the airport.
Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi were staying in Nanjiang to play for two more days. Only Jing Hanchuan and Duan Linbai were taking the Jing familyâs plane back.
Duan Linbai was speechless as he watched as the Jing family members moved all kinds of food onto the plane. âHanchuan, people who donât know might even think that your plane is a cargo plane. Youâre bringing so many things back. Are you planning to give some away? Can you finish it all?â
Yes.â Jing Hanchuan nodded.
âTm worried they wonât fit on your plane.â
âThen Iâll kick you off and make room,â Jing Hanchuan said matter-of-factly.
Duan Linbai was speechless. This is f*cking fake brotherhood.

Before sending Fu Chen and Song Fengwan to the airport, Qiao Xiyan specially sent Tang Jingci to the Nanjiang Museum.
The Nanjiang Museum was one of the three largest museums in the country and had countless collections. Compared to tourist attractions, Tang Jingci was more interested in this museum. He sent her over at around 1 p.m.
âThe museum closes at six. Wait for me at the door at half past five. Iâll pick you up. Donât wander around.â Qiao Xiyan was also very busy today and needed to send many relatives and friends away.
âOkay.â Tang Jingci nodded.
Qiao Xiyan turned around and drove home to pick Song Fengwan and Fu Chen up. He took them straight to the airport.
Along the way, he reminded her, âWanwan, youâre still young. When the two of you are alone, you have to pay attention to your behavior. Donât be charmed by someoneâs flowery words.
âThere are too many bad men in this world. You have to protect yourself.
âDonât fall into peopleâs traps casually.â
Although Qiao Xiyan didnât say it explicitly, he was definitely referring to that. Song Fengwan didnât dare to tell him directly that she had already had sex with Fu Chen, and it was too late for him to worry about it.
Her ears were red as she answered in a muffled voice.
Only when they entered the airport did Song Fengwan mutter softly, âWhy didnât he say those things when he gave me that thing back then? Now he wants me to protect myself?â
Actually, Qiao Xiyan was very conflicted. As her elder brother, he naturally didnât want the two of them to do anything. But in todayâs society, if the two of them went out to be alone, these things would always happen. He couldnât stop this matter. He only hoped that Song Fengwan would protect herself,
so he gave that thing.
âThat?â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. âYou mean the box you brought out on New Yearâs Eve was given by Qiao Xiyan?â
âYes. They werenât the right size.â
âknow.â Fu Chen had complained about it many times.
Immediately afterward, Fu Chen said faintly, âHe underestimated meâ¦â
Song Fengwanâs face flushed red.
You are so shameless. What dirty jokes are you spouting in public? Youâre the only one whoâs capable, okay? After the security check, Song Fengwan packed her things, carried her bag, and left quickly. She wished she could stay as far away from a certain someone as possible.

Song Fengwan had chatted with Tang Jingci until late last night and fell asleep the moment she got on the plane. Only when she encountered turbulence did she wake up in a daze.
âAre we almost there?â she asked.
âAbout half an hour. Wanwanâ¦â
âHmm?*
âSaliva.â
Song Fengwan subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth. There was nothing. Just as she was about to settle the score with him, Fu Chen had already leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Her flustered and helpless look just now was really.
âWhy are you so cute?â His voice was full of smiles and affection.
Song Fengwan wiped her mouth, and her anger disappeared.
âWhen they arrived in Yuncheng, a gust of cold wind blew over the moment they got off the plane. It was so cold that Song Fengwan shivered. Fu Chen pulled her into the shuttle bus. âDo you know how cold it is?â
Song Fengwan had completely forgotten that it was only the beginning of spring in Yuncheng. It was extremely cold until late spring.
âItâs cold.â There was no more space on the shuttle bus. Song Fengwan leaned into his embrace, and her fingers touched the warm, soft flesh on his waist.
âYou can warm your handsâ¦â Fu Chen leaned against her ear and whispered, âDonât touch me randomly. Otherwise, I wonât let you off tonight!â
Song Fengwan immediately stopped moving.
No one had stayed in the house in Yuncheng for a long time. Fu Chen had booked a hotel on his phone, and they went straight to the hotel after leaving the airport. As soon as they entered the room, Song Fengwan took out a sweater from her suitcase to put it on. Only then did she feel warmer.
âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â Fu Chen had also changed into a slightly thick set of clothes. It was a long woolen shirt that complemented his broad shoulders and long legs.
âLetâs go out and have a look.â
The hotel was near the city center, and it was also very close to Song Fengwanâs former high school. The two of them walked around for a while before finally going to the noodle restaurant beside her old atelier.
âThis was where they had their first meal together.
âWhen the two entered, the lady boss was stunned for a moment. âI havenât seen you in a long time. Come in quickly.â
âThank you.â
âSame as usual? No coriander on beef noodles?â
âYes, he also wants a bowl of beef noodles with an extra portion of beef.â Song Fengwan found a seat and sat down.
Fu Chen smiled and sat opposite her. âI remember when we first met, you ordered me a bowl of plain noodles with only green vegetables.â
âAt the time, I thoughtâ¦â
âWhen Song Fengwan recalled that time, she still felt very embarrassed. She had treated someone to a meal, but she had actually eaten meat herself but let her guest eat vegetables. At the time, she thought that Fu Chen was a vegetarian. She even selfishly thought: âm really great to have considered this.
In the end, he said that not only did he eat meat, but he could also get married!
She was almost embarrassed to death.
âThinking of the past, she felt warm and ridiculous. How could I be so stupid?
âDid you think I was stupid?â
Fu Chen shook his head. âYou blushed at the time. You were so cute that I wanted to pinch you.â
âHuh?â Song Fengwan looked up at him. A certain someone reached out and pinched her cheek lightly.
âLike this⦠I wanted to get close to you but was afraid of scaring you.â
Song Fengwan felt that she was doomed. They had already been dating for so long, yet she was still blushing.
âYour noodles are here.â Only when the lady boss appeared did Song Fengwan feel that the two bowls of meat were too much.
âBoss, youâ¦â
âL saw the news and saw that you already have a younger brother. Congratulations. I didnât expect you to come back to patronize my restaurant again. Consider the extra beef a gift from me. Hurry up and eat it. Otherwise, the noodles wonât taste good if they get stuck together.â
âThe matter with the Song family had spread like wildfire, and everyone in Yuncheng knew about it. The Yan family had caused a huge commotion with this full moon banquet, and the media had been reporting about it recently.
âThank you.â
âWhen Song Fengwan scanned the QR code to pay, she gave a little more.
When the two returned to the hotel, Fu Chen turned on the TV to watch the news, and Song Fengwan and Qiao Aiyun video chatted for a while.
It was unknown who took the initiative, but the two of them kissed fiercely. When they rolled onto the bed, even the blanket was kicked off.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, and their bodies were rubbing against each other as if they were inseparable.
There were only the two of them here, so they didnât have to worry about anything or anyone disturbing them. Fu Chen hadnât touched her for a long time, and he was burning
Tonight, Song Fengwan counted.
Five times.
She didnât sleep well last night, and she didnât sleep well on the plane either. Halfway through, she asked him to stop.
Fu Chen said directly, âWanwan⦠your stamina is too poor.
âThe weather is getting warmer.
âItâs time to exercise more.â
In the end, Song Fengwanâs legs went weak, and her hands trembled. This bastard only treats me as a toy. Heâs tossing and turning me over and over. Is there no end to it?

Earlier in Nanjiang, the sky wasnât dark yet.
After sending all his relatives and friends off, Qiao Xiyan drove back to the Yan residence. He had drunk too much yesterday and had been dizzy all day. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Qiao Aiyun pacing back and forth in the living room with Little Mr. Yan in her arms.
âWelcome back, Xiyan. Itâs been hard on you.â
âItâs fine.â
Qiao Wangbei was helping to tidy up the full moon gifts. He glanced behind him. âWhereâs Little Ci?â
Qiao Xiyan stopped in his tracks.
âWhen Qiao Wangbei saw his expression, he knew what had happened. He picked up a plush doll beside his hand and accurately threw it at his head.
âBastard, itâs the third time. Where did you leave her now?!â
Qiao Xiyan frowned. âTll go find her.â
At this moment, Tang Jingci was sitting on the stone steps outside the museum. The night wind was humid and slightly cold.. The street lights suddenly lit up, making her figure look thin.
