Chapter 373: Niannian: You Forgot Your Shoes At My Place

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, Yu Manxis biological clock woke her up. She had been preparing for her exam recently, and she woke up at five to study. When she opened her eyes in a daze

Thunder exploded and lightning flashed in her head.

This

isnt my room.

There were metal handicrafts hanging on the light gray walls and an atmospheric floor lamp at the head of the bed. The floor was covered with a black velvet rug with simple geometric patterns. She took a deep breath and saw a family photo at the bedside. On it was Fu Sinians face.

She moved her body slightly. When her arm touched a warm body, she was so frightened that she shrank back. Her neck stiffened, and she turned her head to look at her side.

Fu Sinians enlarged face suddenly came into view, scaring her so much that her heart stopped.

His eyes were closed, and his aggressive aura was restrained, making him look gentler than usual.

Why am I in his condo?

After a few minutes, her breathing relaxed, and she calmed down. She moved her body with difficulty, afraid of waking up the person beside her. Only then did she notice that there were two thin blankets on the bed, but they were both wrapped around her.

Fu Sinian was only using the bedsheet, which was covering his legs and abdomen. She was lying horizontally in the middle of the large bed while he was squeezed on the edge of the bed. He was tall, but he only occupied a small part of the large bed. His situation seemed a little pitiful.

Not only was I wrapped in the blankets, but I even squeezed Fu Sinian to the side?

Yu Manxi, youre really capable.

Her mind was in a mess as she pieced together the scene from last night

She only vaguely remembered that she had grabbed Fu Sinians tie and tried to kiss him

Various images surged in her mind.

When she came back to her senses, Yu Manxi reached her hand into the blanket. She was still wearing her clothes and pants, and there was nothing wrong with them. It seemed that apart from kissing Fu Sinian forcefully yesterday, nothing else had happened.

She got out of bed quietly and stepped on the carpet barefooted. There was no sound at all. She carefully spread a thin blanket over Fu Sinian before walking out lightly.

Every step felt as though she was stepping on the edge of a knife, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to stop.

She grabbed her bag on the ground, opened the door softly, and slowly walked out. But when the door closed, it inevitably made a sound.

Bang! Yu Manxi was so frightened that she hurriedly ran home. At this moment, Fu Sinian opened his eyes.

He reached out his hand to touch the corner of his lips. Last night, she had bitten his lips, and there were blood marks all over them. Now that he licked them, they still hurt slightly. She actually left just like that?

Actually, Fu Sinian had some rationality last night. He couldnt possibly take advantage of her being drunk and really do something with her

He had carried her back to his bed to sleep, but Yu Manxi held his hand tightly and refused to let go. He couldnt just sit there and wait for her to wake up. Then the drunkenness and sleepiness came, so he lay down beside her in his clothes.

She had the habit of wrapping herself in blankets. While Fu Sinian was half asleep, he even opened the closet and took out a spare thin blanket. But she also pulled it over.

It would be strange if he didnt catch a cold sleeping with her.

At this moment, Yu Manxi had returned home. The kitten, Niannian, was lying in its nest. It opened its eyes slightly unhappily and lay down with its eyes narrowed.

Yu Manxi was panting as she threw her bag aside and drilled into the bathroom.

Only then did she notice a bite mark on her neck. She tilted her head and looked at it. When did this

1

Her face was instantly burning.

She took a quick shower and had just changed her clothes when she heard someone knocking on the door.

She thought it was Fu Sinian and looked through the peephole. It was actually the landlady. She hurriedly opened the door. Auntie, why are you here?

I called you, but no one answered. The landlady smiled.

I was in the shower, so I didnt hear it.

In fact, Yu Manxis phone had long run out of battery, and she hadnt had time to charge it.

Its like this. Im probably going overseas to see my grandson next month, and the heating will start in November. I wont be in Beijing then, so I wanted to hire someone to check the equipment in advance so that it wont be as bad as last year The landlady was very embarra.s.sed because the water pipe had burst last year.

Sure. When?

In the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Ill call you then. I pa.s.sed by during my morning exercise, so I came to knock on your door. You were probably asleep Actually, the landlady had specially picked the morning to knock on her door because she wanted to talk to her face to face.

She had come earlier, but no one had answered.

I Before Yu Manxi could answer, she heard the sound of the opposite door opening.

Mr. Fu, youre still awake? The landlady knew Fu Sinian and knew that he was a night owl. She thought that he had just finished his work at this hour.

Fu Sinian nodded at her in greeting.

Yu Manxi watched as he got closer and closer. In particular, when she saw the bloodstains on his lips, her heart pounded violently against her ribs, feeling as though it was about to burst out of her chest.

You forgot your shoes at my place. Fu Sinian was holding a pair of black high heels.

Yu Manxi was dumbfounded. She had been so focused on taking her bag that she hadnt even noticed that she ran home barefoot.

The landlady was so startled that she was incoherent. When she saw the bite mark on Yu Manxis neck, she understood everything.

When I knocked on her door earlier, she wasnt asleep, but

She wasnt at home at all.

She spent the night next door.

Erm, Miss Yu, Ill get going first. Hehe The landlady felt as though she had been struck by lightning. She had interacted with Fu Sinian before. He was a very boring person, and he was locked in his condo all day. Yu Manxi was now a celebrity

She suddenly realized that she had discovered some incredible gossip and was extremely excited.

Why? You dont want them anymore? Fu Sinian stood at the door, still holding the shoes.

Yes! Yu Manxi grabbed her high heels back. Thank you. Im preparing to go to work. Excuse me. Then she slammed the door shut.

Fu Sinian stared at the closed door.

Heh

She clearly remembers what happened last night. This is a typical case of someone not wanting to take responsibility after eating everything.

Yu Manxi quickly put on makeup and used a lot of concealer and powder to try and cover up the bite mark on her neck. No matter how hard she tried, she could still see the mark. In the end, she didnt have time, so she put on a scarf and left.

As soon as the elevator opened, she saw Ning Fan carrying breakfast.

Why are you here? Yu Manxi was surprised.

You didnt even tell me that something big happened to you. Thats not good. I rushed back from overseas to see you. Ill take you to work with the scallion pancake and soy milk you like.

Ning Fan had really rushed back.

Yu Manxi had never mentioned to anyone that she had been fired because of the unspoken rules. Ning Fan thought that she had taken leave to prepare for her exam at home. He had returned overnight after watching the news yesterday.

Its normal for the workplace to be unsatisfactory. She took the scallion pancake, not standing on ceremony.

At the very least, I can help you vent your anger. Ning Fan smiled and sized her up. Little Fish, why is your mouth a little swollen

Huh? Yu Manxi was almost scared to death.

If you have a boyfriend, you dont have to hide it. Introduce him to me so I can check him for you. Ning Fan was not an ignorant young man. Her mouth was red and swollen, and she was even wearing a scarf. Hearing his teasing, she felt nervous and guilty, unsure about what to do in this situation.

Nows not the right time.

Yu Manxi didnt know how she should face Fu Sinian in the future.

I dont eat people. How can I scare him? Ning Fan smiled.

Yu Manxi lowered her head and bit the scallion pancake while smiling bitterly. Im afraid hell scare you.

Chuanbei Jing Family

Song Fengwan officially started cla.s.ses today. Her first year of university was quite full, so Fu Chen had nothing to do. When he found out that Fu Sinian had returned last night, he made an appointment to go fis.h.i.+ng at the Jing residence.

1

Jing Hanchuan specially called Duan Linbai. It was rare for the four of them to get together. His mother answered the call and said that he had been drunk and slept under the porch all night yesterday. He had a slight fever and a cold, and he had just taken medicine to sleep.

Linbai is sick? Fu Chen arrived early and was looking at Jing Hanchuans goldfish.

Yeah, he cant come over. When Sinian arrives, well eat. Jing Hanchuan had specially cooked a few dishes.

When the hot dishes were served, Fu Sinian arrived at the Jing residence and even brought two bottles of red wine.

Whats wrong with your mouth? Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and sized him up.

Fu Sinian didnt avoid the crowds scrutiny and said lightly, Someone bit me.

When you got home last night, you two Fu Chen was speechless. Theyre really fast.

Jing Hanchuan was also sizing him up. He had only found out yesterday that Fu Sinian had an object and was hiding a woman. But he hadnt expected Fu Sinian to go home last night and still play so crazily in the middle of the night

Fu Sinian touched the corner of his lips indifferently. We lost control a little. Ive embarra.s.sed myself.

1

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. Is he indirectly expressing what happened between them last night?

You sure hid it well, Jing Hanchuan teased.

Fu Sinian asked directly, You dont have an object yet?

Critical strike!

Fu Chen laughed out loud. There must be a single dog in a threesome.

All the men in the Fu family are f*cking poisonous. Didnt we agree to fish? Why are these two showing off their affection? I really want to tell them to get out of my house.

Fu Chen chuckled lightly. You stabbed me last night, and today, I got to stab you.

If you mess with me, you have to pay for it sooner or later.
