Chapter 284: The Perfume Scent on Senior Brother Doesnt Belong to Me

Since Fu Zhongli chased the Sun family out of his house, the entire Beijing circle had been discussing and making guesses on whether the two families would get a divorce. Even the two elders of the Fu family had called him to ask about it.

Fu Zhongli was afraid of agitating the two elders, so he didnt tell them everything. He avoided the main points and said that some friction had occurred between them.

The Sun family couldnt stay in China anymore, so they went overseas the next day to lie low.

There was nothing that could be kept secret forever in this world, and the Sun family had offended many people, so the two elders of the Fu family still found out what had happened. One day, when Old Madam Fu went to the Pear Garden to listen to opera, she coincidentally heard someone mention it.

They actually did such a despicable thing, and they were targeting the Qiao family?

When she returned home at night, she was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

Old Madam Fus arrhythmia had formed when she gave birth to Fu Chen.

Previously, around the time Song Fengwan and Fu Yuxiu got engaged, her condition had suddenly relapsed, and she had stayed in the hospital for more than two months.

Just after the seventh day of the new year, the children of the Fu family were already returning to their own homes. Old Madam Fu didnt let anyone inform them and only got Fu Sinian to accompany her to the hospital for a physical examination.

The results of the physical examination were similar to the ones before, and the doctor just reminded her to take note of her diet and mood.

On the way home

Dont tell your parents about this. Its not a big deal. Old Madam Fu held her walking stick in her hand, looking a little dazed.

At her age, living even one more day was a huge gain.

Okay. Fu Sinian nodded.

Dont tell your third uncle, Old Madam Fu reminded.

Fu Sinians eyes darkened.

Third Uncle started being a Buddhist when Grandma had her first heart attack, and hes been persistent in this for more than ten years

When she had her first heart attack, everyone had been caught off guard. It had come very aggressively and extremely dangerously, and Old Madam Fu had almost died.

The quick ringing of his phone disrupted his thoughts. He looked at the caller ID.

[Yu Manxi]

He frowned slightly.

Since she had asked him to take care of the little kitten a few days ago and said that she would be away for a couple of days, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. It has been a week since he last saw her.

He picked up his Bluetooth earphones and put them on. h.e.l.lo.

Mr. Fu, Im sorry. I have something urgent to attend to, so Ive been delayed for several days. There was no signal here, so I wasnt able to contact you. Im really sorry. The sound of the wind was loud on the other end of the phone.

Oh, Fu Sinian replied.

I cant go home until next week, so Ill have to trouble you to take care of Niannian for a few more days.

Fu Sinian didnt say anything.

This woman is really good at pus.h.i.+ng her luck.

Alright, Im so sorry to trouble you

The two of them didnt talk any further and soon hung up.

Although Old Madam Fus heart wasnt very good, she had sharp ears and eyes, so she could vaguely hear a womans voice. Sinian, was that a girl?

Fu Sinian didnt say anything.

The owner of that cat?

Yes.

Old Madam Fu laughed mischievously.

Old Madam Fu wasnt in good health, and Fu Sinian had been living in the old residence recently, so he naturally had to bring the cat along with him. When Old Madam Fu saw him appear with the cat in his arms, she was thunderstruck.

This brat has been taciturn since he was young and doesnt have much sympathy for people, let alone raising small animals. Yet hes actually raising a cat?

When did you start raising a cat?

Im helping a friend take care of it.

Whats the cats name? Old Madam Fu liked small animals. She took the kitten and played with it intimately for a long time.

Fu Sinian furrowed his brows.

I cant possibly say its called Niannian.

Niannian Youyu[1]?

He raised his eyebrows. Yu Zhaocai[2].

Fortune cat? Old Madam Fu smiled. Thats a good name.

The little kitten was fluttering in her arms and struggling with all its might.

Im clearly not called Zhaocai! What kind of name is that? Its so old-fas.h.i.+oned.

This cat had a temper too. It was so angry that it didnt eat for a few days. It wasnt until its goat milk rice paste was almost eaten by Fu Xinhan that it hurried to protect its food.

***

When the two of them reached home, the cat and the dog were fighting in the living room.

Fu Chen had gone to Yuncheng, so Fu Xinhan was staying at the old residence. At this moment, he was baring his fangs and brandis.h.i.+ng his claws at the cat. His mouth was wide open, as if he was about to eat it.

This little kitten was still crouching and making an aggressive pose a second ago. But when it saw that the owner was back, it immediately ran over docilely and rubbed against Old Madam Fus legs.

Fu Xinhan, are you bullying it again? Old Madam Fu frowned.

Fu Xinhan was dumbfounded.

This scheming cat

Dogs cared a lot about their territories. On the first day the little kitten arrived at the Fu residence, it was almost forced to climb a tree, and it wasnt allowed to touch anything. In the end, Fu Xinhan was naturally reprimanded.

A dog without an owner was just like a motherless child, and he could only let others bully him. Fu Xinhan had never missed Fu Chen so much.

Fu Sinian glanced sideways at Yu Zhaocai.

Why do I feel like this cat has gained a lot of weight?

Then he looked at the bloated Fu Xinhan lying on the ground. He frowned slightly.

There seems to be no pet that Grandma cant fatten up.

***

Yuncheng, on the eve of Valentines Day

What made Fu Chen the most depressed was that Song Fengwan had to take the joint examination for two days, and the last day of the examination just happened to be on Valentines Day.

Fu Zhonglis company had an event on Valentines Day, so he had been busy following up on the activity these few days and didnt have the time to care about Fu Chen. It was already past 9 p.m. when he went home after dealing with clients.

Third Brother, its Valentines Day tomorrow. You dont have any arrangements? Fu Zhongli teased.

Over the past few days, he came to know that the girl Fu Chen liked was especially busy and didnt even have time to go on dates on weekends. A certain someone was like the male version of the Amah rock. He waited for her messages all day long, and when he occasionally went out, it was always after ten oclock.

He thought,

This young lady really has good tricks up her sleeve. Shes actually capable of making Third Brother wait for her so willingly?

Every day when he went out at night, it was as if he was having an affair that couldnt be exposed to anyone. Fu Zhongli had even once suspected that Fu Chen fell for someone he shouldnt have, so he was being so secretive about it.

Fu Chen glanced at Fu Zhongli and didnt say anything.

Would I dare say that my wife is taking an exam, so she cant accompany me?

Second Brother would definitely be scared to death.

Currently, at the Qiao residence

Qiao Aiyun went to the school to pick Song Fengwan up, and when she returned home, Yan w.a.n.gchuan had yet to come back.

He had been leaving the house early and returning late for the past few days, and he also said that he was afraid of disturbing her, so they hadnt been sleeping together. If it wasnt for the fact that Qiao Aiyun woke up early in the morning to make breakfast for Song Fengwan, she probably wouldnt have seen him at all.

Why isnt Uncle Yan back yet? Song Fengwan was surprised.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan was very clingy to Qiao Aiyun, so much so that he would even follow her to buy groceries.

Whats going on with him these days?

I think his company has an event on Valentines Day, so hes quite busy. Qiao Aiyun smiled. Youre definitely tired from the exam today. Hurry upstairs to rest.

Okay. Song Fengwan still had to prepare for the exam tomorrow, so she naturally didnt think much about it.

At around eleven oclock, Qiao Aiyun heard the sound of the door opening downstairs. She put on her clothes and went downstairs

Yan w.a.n.gchuan was standing in the entryway and changing his shoes. The faint porch light made his figure look gloomy and bleak. He didnt turn on the lights, so he was stunned for a moment when he heard Qiao Aiyuns voice.

Youre not asleep yet? His voice was hoa.r.s.e.

Click!

Qiao Aiyun turned on the lights in the living room. The glaring light shone over, and Yan w.a.n.gchuan narrowed his eyes in discomfort. There were dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot.

His expression was as indifferent as usual, but he couldnt hide the fatigue in his eyes.

Not yet. Have you eaten? Qiao Aiyun walked closer and reached out to take the clothes in his hand, preparing to hang them on a hanger.

As soon as she shook them, the scent of perfume hit her nose, so strong that it made her feel nauseous.

This scent

doesnt belong to me.

She would occasionally spray some perfume on when she went out, and at her age, she mostly chose perfumes with lighter scents. But the floral perfume scent on him was very rich, and it penetrated straight into the bones. People all said that one could get to know someone just by smelling their scent

For someone who used this kind of perfume, she definitely was a pa.s.sionate and unrestrained person.

How close was he to her? What happened to make this scent on him so strong?

Yes. Yan w.a.n.gchuan narrowed his eyes. Whats wrong?

Qiao Aiyuns heart skipped a beat. She suddenly thought of the first time she had found out that Song Jingren had cheated on her. It had also been a perfume scent. He had said that he accidentally got it on him at a gathering, and then

She was a little fl.u.s.tered and looked at Yan w.a.n.gchuan. Y-you

She suddenly didnt know how to ask him if he had dinner with another woman or if he had something going on with someone else.

She was also a businesswoman. She knew that there were many beautiful ladies at these kinds of social gatherings. Although Yan w.a.n.gchuan was a little older, he was still very popular among women, and countless women wanted to have something with him.

At my age, what capital do I have to compete with those young ladies

Aiyun? Although Yan w.a.n.gchuan was inarticulate and had low EQ, he noticed that something was amiss with her.

Her nose was full of that rich fragrance, which was tugging at her heart and tearing at it ruthlessly. Qiao Aiyun helped him to hang his clothes up. Its nothing. Rest early. She didnt even realize that her voice was trembling uncontrollably as she held back her teeth from chattering.

She was eventually still afraid.

Her legs were a little weak and trembling. When she went up the stairs, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she almost fell.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan casually pulled his clothes off the hanger. He hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly coming back to his senses and chasing after her
