Chapter 388: Cold Man

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The autumn rain was chilly, and the air was slightly cold but refres.h.i.+ng. Most of the paths in the Jing residence were paved with old blue bricks.

When the rain stopped, the people of the Jing family were busy fis.h.i.+ng out dead branches and leaves floating in the pond. Jing Hanchuan originally thought that after the rain stopped, Fu Chen would leave with Song Fengwan. But the two of them were walking the dog and touring the Jing familys mansion.

There was an uninhabited grove behind the Jing residence. The two of them were dawdling inside for some reason and only came out after dark. When Song Fengwan came out, her lips were slightly swollen, and her face was peach-colored

Jing Hanchuan really didnt understand what there was to do to stay for so long in such a desolate place.

1

Seeing that the sky was dark, Jing Hanchuan only said a few polite words and asked them to stay for dinner. But in the end, Fu Chen really stayed for dinner.

And then he shamelessly stayed the night.

He was totally treating his house like a hotel.

The next day was the weekend. Song Fengwan had to return to school for her evening self-study, so she definitely wouldnt stay overnight. Just as she was about to leave, Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi arrived.

1

Yu Manxi had just finished her exam and walked out of the examination hall. According to the address Fu Sinian had sent, she turned a corner and saw the modified black Jaguar. The owner of the car was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and a neat black suit, leaning against the car door and smoking.

It had been raining nonstop the last two days. The cloudy and gloomy sky was pressing down on him, making his figure look even more slender and cold. His back was slightly arched, and there was a cigarette between his fingers. Halfway through smoking, smoke curled up

Mr. Fu. At this moment, many examinees were walking out one after another. Fu Sinian heard the voice and threw away his cigarette with a calm gaze.

Their eyes met. His expression was calm and indifferent as he motioned for her to get in the car.

Yu Manxi was a little breathless from jogging. Her face was red as she got into the front pa.s.senger seat.

Lets go to the hotel first. I have to pack my luggage.

Fu Sinian started the car, but he didnt start driving. His eyes stared at her, burning and cold.

Whats wrong? Yu Manxi had just finished her exam, so she felt inexplicably relaxed. She tilted her head and looked at him.

Fu Sinian suddenly leaned over and took a deep breath before kissing her on the lips. You have to be more proactive the next time we meet.

Yu Manxi was speechless. Her face flushed red as she nodded.

At this moment, the person following her from the examination hall was completely dumbfounded. A large group of examinees rushed out together and blocked his line of sight. Only when most of the examinees had left did he realize that he had lost her.

Fu Sinian parked the car in the hotels underground parking garage. Yu Manxi wanted to go up alone, but he insisted on following her.

I cant go up? Fu Sinian had only helped her with her luggage on the first day she checked in.

Then come up. Yu Manxi knew him very well. He was as stubborn as an ox. If she didnt agree, there would probably be no end to it.

When they arrived at the door of her room, Yu Manxi swiped her card and opened the door. Because the room was cleaned every day, it wasnt messy. But there were a few personal items hanging on the hooks on the wall not far away, making him look away uneasily.

His ears were on fire.

Sit anywhere you want. Ill pack my things quickly. Yu Manxi grabbed the personal clothes and stuffed them into her suitcase. It was a 24-inch suitcase, half of which was filled with clothes and half with reference books.

She lived alone and had strong self-management abilities. She packed all kinds of toiletries and tidied them up before checking if she missed anything.

It seems like theres nothing else? Yu Manxi zipped up the suitcase, got up, and looked at Fu Sinian. Lets go.

Okay. Fu Sinian took the suitcase from her hand. Just as Yu Manxi reached out to take out the room card of the rooms power switch, he leaned over and pressed her against the wall.

The mans body had a faint tobacco smell and a domineering and intimidating aura, and it seemed as though he wanted to take away all the breath from her body.

Mr. Fu Yu Manxis heart was racing, and her strong heart was pounding against her ribs. She felt fl.u.s.tered.

1

Sinian.

Hmm?

Were seeing my parents tonight. Is it appropriate for you to call me Mr. Fu? It was the weekend today, her exam was over, and Fu Sinians parents had time, so they agreed to meet at seven tonight.

Her heart clenched. Yu Manxi looked up at him slightly. Her body was restrained between the door and his body, making it difficult for her to move an inch. Claws were scratching at her heart.

She was so nervous that she was suffocating.

Mr Yu Manxi bit her lip. She usually said it in her heart, but she couldnt seem to say it in front of him.

At this moment, all the lights in the room were dim. Because the curtains were drawn, the surroundings were so dark that they couldnt even see their fingers.

The feeling of his deep and scorching breath became increasingly clear. When it landed on her face, it felt light and itchy.

Call me. Fu Sinians voice became increasingly deep and hoa.r.s.e.

It had a commanding taste, but it was more of a coaxing.

Yu Manxi felt the two of them getting closer. The mans chest was as hard as iron, and when her fingertips touched it, she felt unusually hot.

She gritted her teeth and braced herself. Si Sinian.

It was not that she was unwilling. But this kind of situation always made her feel a little embarra.s.sed.

The man in the dark slowly curled his lips. There were many people who usually called out his name. But even if there were people of the opposite s.e.x, they were still elders. When he heard it from her mouth, she sounded delicate and a little shy. It was as if a warm current was pouring down his head, making him feel comfortable all over.

He tilted his head and kissed her

Call me it again. His voice became deeper as he sucked on her lips.

Sinian. The first time was awkward and shy, and the second time was naturally much more familiar.

You have to say it a few more times.

Fu Sinian bit her lips, sucking and biting. The surroundings were dark and silent, and darkness drowned everything. Only their five senses were infinitely magnified

Yu Manxis body was so soft that she couldnt stand. She hesitantly reached out her hand and slowly hugged his neck.

When the two of them walked out of the room, it was already half an hour later. Yu Manxi didnt know that just kissing him could take up so much time.

She looked in the mirror and touched the corner of her mouth. It was a little swollen. She wondered if it would be rude to meet his parents later like this.

With Fu Sinian around, there was naturally no need for her to check out personally. She sat quietly in the car and waited, still thinking about what to wear tonight. She reached out her hand and pinched her waist. Recently, she had been sleeping and eating irregularly, so she seemed to have gained some weight.

At this moment, there was still someone waiting for her in the hotel lobby. The person following her thought that Yu Manxi would definitely come back to check out. But after waiting for a while, he didnt see her. When he ran to the door of the room, the service staff was cleaning the room up.

F*ck The man tugged at his hair. How did this woman leave? How did she check out? Did she leave just like that?

Fu Sinian got into the car and started the engine. Where to now? Home?

Yu Manxis luggage was still here, and she definitely had to put it away.

Lets go pick up Niannian first before going home. Yu Manxi was looking down and browsing Baidu. [What do you need to prepare for when you meet the mans parents for the first time?]

The answers were mostly just bringing gifts, paying attention to manners, and dressing appropriately.

Okay. Fu Sinian nodded. The Jing residence was on the way to the Software Garden.

After Yu Manxi finished searching for the information, she tilted her head to look at Fu Sinian. When she thought of the long and pa.s.sionate kiss in the dark, her heart couldnt help pounding

Fu Sinian looked very cold, but his lips were very hot and soft. And the way he kissed

1

His enthusiasm and dominance were irresistible.

It was completely different from his taciturn and aloof image.

***

When Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi arrived at the Jing residence, Song Fengwan just happened to b.u.mp into them before she left.

It was also Yu Manxis first time at the Jing residence. There were many rumors about the Jing family outside, but their house was obviously different from the rumors. Even the cleaning servants were exceptionally enthusiastic.

As soon as the two entered the living room, the cat saw its owner and meowed.

Sixth Master Jing, Third Master. Yu Manxi greeted the two of them politely and then smiled at Song Fengwan before bending down to greet her cat.

Just as Fu Sinian was about to say something, Yu Manxi shouted excitedly, Niannian~

Jing Hanchuan was drinking tea and eating snacks. He bit down and frowned.

Niannian?

Isnt this cat called Yu Zhaocai?

Sixth Master Jing, sorry to trouble you to take care of our Niannian for so long. I didnt expect Sinian to let you take care of the cat. Yu Manxi hugged the cat and kept feeling that her cat had lost a lot of weight.

Youre welcome. Jing Hanchuan looked at Fu Sinian with scrutinizing eyes.

Big Sister Yu, are you finished with your exam? Song Fengwan walked over, and the two girls started chatting enthusiastically, seemingly having endless topics to talk about.

Sinian, this cat Jing Hanchuan teased.

The formal name is Yu Zhaocai. The nickname is Fu Sinian couldnt bring himself to say it.

He knew very well that Yu Manxi had deliberately given the cat this name because of him. At the time, he had thought that this young lady was very bold, but he had also felt a little sweet in his heart. Now, he only felt embarra.s.sed.

I know. Its a little fun between you two, Jing Hanchuan teased.

What? Youre meeting his parents tonight? Song Fengwan exclaimed. So soon?

Yu Manxi was a little embarra.s.sed. Yes, Im a little nervous.

Dont be afraid. The Fu family are good people, Song Fengwan comforted her. She naturally ignored that blind sc.u.mbag Fu Yuxiu.

Have you seen his parents? What kind of people are they? Yu Manxi also wanted to understand them in advance to prepare herself.

Song Fengwan shook her head. Ive never seen his parents in the Fu residence. Doesnt his father work out of the city? Theyre not in the capital most of the time.

I still have to buy some things later. Actually, apart from buying the jade pendants, Yu Manxi had also prepared some other things. But she still felt that there werent enough gifts.

Sure. One could never be too courteous.

At this moment, Fu Sinians phone rang. It was his mother. She asked him to go to the dry cleaners and bring back his fathers suit. At the same time, she asked if he had seen Fu Chen.

Third Uncle is with me.

In that case, come back first. I have something to tell you. It was Fu Sinians first time bringing a girl to meet his parents, and the Fu family was also nervous. They had never interacted with their daughter-in-law before, so they didnt know what kind of girl she was.

Okay. Fu Sinian nodded.

If you have something to do, you can go ahead. Wanwan and I just happen to want to go shopping. Yu Manxi felt that being with Fu Sinian at this moment made her even more nervous.

How are you going back?

We can take a taxi.

You and Fu Sinian looked at Song Fengwan. And Little Aunt?

Yes, Im already an adult. Theres no problem going home. Third Master, I might have to

Im going back to school later, so I cant accompany him, Song Fengwan interrupted.

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Just now, she was still pestering me and saying that she didnt want to go back to school, but now, she kicked me away?

This womans words really cant be taken seriously.

1

Seeing that she really didnt want him to accompany her, Fu Sinian relented. Ill pick you up tonight.

Afterward, Yu Manxi and Song Fengwan were driven to a nearby mall by Qian Jiang, while the two men of the Fu family went home.

Yu Manxi had previously asked her colleague to buy a bottle of wine for Fu Sinians father, and she had always wanted to buy something for his mother

In the past, only my grandma brought me up. My parents and I have never been together before, so I dont know what elders like. What do you think is a good thing to give her mother? Yu Manxi was looking around the mall, looking for something suitable.

Song Fengwan was slightly surprised. Actually, when she went to Yu Manxis house, she could tell that her life had no traces of her family. She had gone overseas when she was in her teens. Who knew how she had lived through that period?

Youve never been with your parents?

I grew up in the countryside. I didnt even enter the city before I was thirteen. Before then, I had never seen them before, Yu Manxi said casually. Perhaps because she had gotten over it, she didnt feel anything special when they talked about the past.

Song Fengwan was stunned. She didnt know her parents before she was thirteen? What exactly is the situation with her family?

Dont be in a daze. Help me choose.

How about skincare products? If you give her clothes, you dont know her size and preferences, so it wont be easy to choose. It might just be a little expensive, Song Fengwan suggested.

Okay. What brand does Auntie use?

Let me think

The two of them finally bought a set of skincare products. Yu Manxi also gave her a bottle of eye essence. Song Fengwan didnt want it at first, but Yu Manxi had quickly paid the bill and stuffed it into her hands. The area around a womans eyes is very fragile. You should start maintaining them at a young age.

Thank you. The small bottle was quite expensive.

It was still early for Song Fengwan to return to school, so she followed Yu Manxi back to her condo and helped her choose her clothes.

Old Fu residence

Fu Sinian helped his father get the suit. When he returned to the residence, he saw that his mother was wearing a cheongsam, which she rarely did, and had specially gone to do her hair. She looked radiant.

Bring the suit to your father. It was Dai Yunqings first time meeting her future daughter-in-law, so she was a little nervous.

After his father changed into the suit, the two parents started thinking about what they should say to Yu Manxi later.

s.h.i.+nan, talk more later. Dont be boring. Dai Yunqing helped her husband adjust his tie.

1

I know. Fu s.h.i.+nan nodded in agreement.

After we go out, Ill listen to everything you say. Youre the head of the family, so you have to set an example. Dont be rude, Dai Yunqing continued to remind him.

Okay.

When you see her, you have to be serious without losing your smile.

Fu s.h.i.+nan nodded.

When ordering food, you must take care of her.

Shes Sinians girlfriend. Why do I have to take care of her?

Fu s.h.i.+nan, she is your daughter-in-law. You cant scare her away the first time we meet. Dai Yunqing immediately became anxious. Dont talk nonsense after we go out. Be careful with your words.

Fu s.h.i.+nan frowned. She asked me to talk more and say that she would listen to me. Now, shes warning me not to talk nonsense. Its really difficult to be a man.

Fu Chen looked at the two people not far away.

Whenever the two of them went out, his eldest sister-in-law would definitely be all gentle and obedient, giving his eldest brother enough face. In the eyes of outsiders, her eldest brother certainly had the final say in their family.

Everyone outside said that his eldest sister-in-law was gentle, wise, virtuous, and considerate to her husband and son. Who knew that she was the head of the family when they were in private?

1

She was very good at acting outside.

When they were out, his eldest brother naturally put on airs. But when they returned, he was busy ma.s.saging his eldest sister-in-laws back and shoulders. He couldnt be bothered to describe his eldest brothers slave-like appearance in front of his wife.

1

At around 5 p.m, Fu Sinian called Yu Manxi and asked when to pick her up.

Wanwan is still here. Come over early and send her back to school first?

Little Fu Sinian almost blurted out Little Aunt. Why hasnt she returned to school yet? Is Miss Song still there?

Yeah, come over half an hour early.

What Miss Song? Dai Yunqing couldnt sit still at home and planned to leave early.

Song Fengwan. Theyre together.

Wanwan and her are friends. Since theyre together, why dont we invite them to have dinner together? Otherwise, shell be nervous facing a group of people from our family alone. With a friend around, shell feel at ease. Wanwans relations.h.i.+p with our family Old Madam Fu smiled and teased.

Shes not an outsider.

Fu Sinian frowned. Shes marrying Third Uncle in the future, so shes definitely not an outsider.

The call to invite Song Fengwan to dinner was personally made by Old Madam Fu. She was too enthusiastic, so Song Fengwan couldnt decline and could only go with Yu Manxi to have dinner. She also asked for leave from the counselor, saying that she couldnt attend evening self-study.

Now, Song Fengwan was very popular in front of the teachers, and the counselor was also a student. She agreed without asking much.

***

At seven in the evening, in a private room of the Banquet Restaurant

Fu Chen lowered his head and sent a message to Song Fengwan. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at his eldest brother and sister-in-law beside him

After his eldest brother came in, he had already drunk a whole pot of tea. Fu s.h.i.+nan was in politics, and he had followed Old Master Fu to all kinds of events since he was young. He had seen all kinds of occasions. Why was he nervous about meeting his daughter-in-law?

1

Fu s.h.i.+nan wasnt nervous about meeting his daughter-in-law, but his wife had said:

[Whether your performance is good or not relates to whether you sleep on the bed or in the study for the next half a year.]
