Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Compared to the previous visit to Wu Wei’s house, Fang Ya was treated like a VIP this time.

Wu Wei’s wife was busy serving tea and preparing fruits.

Wu Wei saw that He Feng had also come, so he pulled him over to the sofa and sat down.

Shao Xiang was so happy that she could not close her mouth when she saw that Fang Ya had come.

Shao Xiang’s face looked a lot ruddier, and she seemed to have put on some weight. It seemed that she had been living quite well these days.

Fang Ya chatted with Shao Xiang for a while, and then she started to turn her concerns toward Wu Wei’s recent situation.

“Little Wei said that his company has sent him back to work which is nearby, so he can also take care of me,” Shao Xiang said cheerfully.

“Now he can go to and from work on time every day, and I don’t have to worry about family matters.” The more Shao Xiang spoke, the happier she became.

Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang’s appearance and felt a wave of relief in her heart.

Wu Wei was chatting with He Feng when he suddenly thought of something.

He looked in Fang Ya’s direction and asked, “Xiao Ya, do you know if Tang Fu has a brother surnamed Jiang?”

“Surnamed Jiang?” Fang Ya recalled for a moment and shook her head.

“No?” Wu Wei seemed to be a little confused.

“Did something happen?” Fang Ya asked tentatively.

“A few days ago, a person who claimed to be a friend of Tang Fu contacted me. That person introduced himself as a Mr. Jiang.” Wu Wei said with a puzzled expression on his face.

He Feng looked at Wu Wei and asked, “Did that person say anything?”

Wu Wei shook his head and said, “He just asked about my recent work situation and asked about Xiao Ya’s situation.”

“At that time, I thought that Tang Fu had changed his mind and wanted to curry favor with Xiao Ya,” Wu Wei said with a deep doubt in his tone.

“Then I thought about it again. It did not seem right.” Wu Wei looked at He Feng. “Is there something wrong with this person?”

He Feng did not immediately answer. Instead, he asked, “What did you tell him?”

Wu Wei chuckled. “My work unit is a big pot of rice. Even if I told him, he wouldn’t know which rice grain I am.”

“As for Little Ya, I told him that Little Ya is married to you!” Wu Wei said cheerfully, his tone full of pride.

Fang Ya looked at Wu Wei and could not help but find it funny.

He Feng, however, fell silent.

After a long while, he said, “Do you have the contact information of that person?”

Wu Wei shook his head and said, “I couldn’t see his number from the analog phone at home.”

He Feng pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright then! If that person looks for you again, you must inform me immediately!”

“Alright! I’ll remember it!” Wu Wei nodded solemnly.

Shao Xiang listened to their conversation and could not help but feel a little worried. “Did something happen?”

Fang Ya gently patted Shao Xiang’s hand and said, “Don’t worry! It’s fine! They can handle it!”

He Feng also echoed, “Tang Fu must have sent someone to probe around. There’s nothing wrong.”

Shao Xiang also felt relieved after hearing their words.

He Feng and Fang Ya looked at each other and did not say anything else.

After having lunch at Wu Wei’s house, Fang Ya and He Feng went home.

Fang Ya felt sorry for He Feng who had not slept the whole night and wanted him to have a good rest.

He Feng grabbed Fang Ya’s hand and pulled her to the table in the square hall to sit down.

“You must be careful when you go in and out of the house!” He Feng warned.

“I will bolster the number of patrols here, but I can’t stay at home all the time,” He Feng said with some worry.

“Don’t worry! Nothing will happen!” Fang Ya held He Feng’s hand and smiled gently at him.

He Feng was not as optimistic as Fang Ya.

“We don’t know what the purpose of this Jiang is, so we must be careful!” He Feng reminded again.

“I know!” Fang Ya saw He Feng’s worry and spoke seriously.

“If anything happens, you must contact me!” He Feng added.

“Okay! I will!” Fang Ya promised him solemnly.

Their hands were tightly clasped together. It was the first time they had such intimate contact.

A moment later, Fang Ya suddenly realized something.

She pulled her hand back abruptly, her face slightly red.

He Feng also pulled his hand back awkwardly and coughed lightly twice.

“I, I’ll go and fetch Tang Tang and the others!” Fang Ya said as she rushed out of the room.

“I’ll… I’ll have a good talk with Little Peng Too!” He Feng said as he walked out as well.

Tang Tang was dancing with joy when she saw He Feng and Fang Ya together coming to fetch her.

He Peng, however, still had a solemn look on his face as he followed the two of them back.

He Feng carried Tang Tang and walked in front while Fang Ya followed behind.

The large woman grabbed Fang Ya’s hand and dragged her behind.

Fang Ya looked at the large woman in puzzlement.

“The neighbors have been gossiping a lot! I think it has gotten to Little Peng’s head!” The large woman said with some worry.

“I think you’d better have a good chat with Captain He!” The large woman suggested.

Fang Ya knew that the large woman only meant her well.

She grabbed the large woman’s hand and smiled gently. “I know! Don’t worry!”

After watching Fang Ya’s family leave, the large woman could not help but sigh.. “Let’s hope this mess is just a passing storm!”
