The tide was rising and falling outside the house, and it was silent inside the house.

Song Fengwan’s and Fu Chen’s palms were covered in cold sweat. Her throat rolled slightly as she gulped nervously, her back cold from nervousness.

But she didn’t expect that her mother’s eyes would actually turn red from Fu Chen’s words. Moreover, the situation had reversed a little too quickly.

Before she could react, Qiao Aiyun said bluntly, “Fu Chen, you should know that if you two are together, your second brother’s family will probably…”

“Don’t worry. Wanwan is with me, so I naturally won’t let her suffer the slightest bit.”

“Wanwan just started university. You two…” Qiao Aiyun already had a good impression of Fu Chen, and some of what he said just now had really touched her heart. “Even though you two are dating, you have to pay attention to behaving appropriately.”

Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. It ended just like that? So smoothly?

Qiao Xiyan’s fingertips kept spinning the carving knife. The handle had been used for a long time, and it was wrapped in a layer of anti-slip tape. The blade was cold, and every time he spun it, the light reflected

The cold glint of the blade kept sliding past Fu Chen’s eyes.

It was dazzling.

He had escaped unscathed. In fact, the Qiao father and son were also fine. Yan Wangchuan was the unluckiest one.

At this moment, his expression was as cold as usual. But wherever his gaze landed on Fu Chen, it was colder than the wind. He could only blame himself for not noticing for a while and not realizing that a certain someone had dug such a deep hole, but he had jumped in just like that

After the full moon banquet ended and everyone left, he would become the unluckiest?

Mother Huang was hiding at the door. When she heard that they were dating, she was more shocked than happy. She had always felt that the two of them were from different worlds, and there seemed to be a huge gap between them.

But on careful thought, although one of them was still a student, and the other had been famous for a long time, the age difference between the two of them wasn’t that big.

She had been worried that Song Fengwan would be hit and had been hiding in the dark. Now that the matter was over, she lay back on her bed in peace. Thinking about it, she still found it unbelievable.

eK

The whole matter came to a temporary end

“Eu Chen, don’t go back to your room yet. I still have something to talk to you about,” Qiao Aiyun called out to him.

‘The Qiao father and son had already returned to their rooms. Song Fengwan was a little worried and tugged at the corner of his shirt, seemingly wanting to stay too.

“Go back to your room. I’ll have a good talk with you later.” When Qiao Aiyun thought that her well-behaved daughter had actually fallen in love in high school, she was a little depressed.

“Tl accompany you,” Yan Wangchuan said bluntly.

Qiao Aiyun raised her eyebrows. “Little Chi needs his diaper changed.”

Soon, only she and Fu Chen were left in the living room.

After Song Fengwan returned to her room, she realized that her undergarments were all drenched in cold sweat. She took a deep breath and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Thinking back to what had happened just now, she still had lingering fears.

She didn’t know what her mother wanted to talk about with Fu Chen alone, so she inevitably let her thoughts wander.

She wanted to run to the stairs to eavesdrop, but her cousin bumped into her and stuffed her back into her room.

“What do you have to worry about? Your Third Brother Fu is very impressive. At the time, who among us was willing to enter his trap?”

Song Fengwan lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

“In the end, not only did he bring us into his pit, but he’s even holding a shovel now and wants to bury us alive. But he’s not satisfied with just burying us, so he still has to step on the soil twice to make sure it’s solid. You’re really good at finding a partner.”

Song Fengwan bit her lip and looked at her cousin innocently. “But… when did my mom find out?”

Qiao Xiyan coughed twice. “I just found out she knows.”

“Haven’t you known for a long time? Cousin, have you been hiding it from me? You didn’t tell me anything?” Song Fengwan had indeed been scared to death earlier. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she had been terrified out of her wits.

“L knew it. I was wondering why my mom wanted to call so many people over for dinner. She clearly set up a Hongmen Banquet and dug a trap for Third Brother and me.

“Cousin…” Song Fengwan frowned and concluded. “You’ve changed.”

Qiao Xiyan didn’t tell Song Fengwan because he knew that she would definitely inform Fu Chen. He wanted to teach that smug brat a lesson. But she said he’s changed?

He suddenly remembered what had happened at the He family’s filiation banquet.

Perhaps it wasn’t that Fu Chen had a stomach full of evil tricks and led his cousin astray but that these two people appreciated each other and weren’t ‘good people’.

After Qiao Xiyan returned to his room, Song Fengwan lay on her bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, until she heard footsteps outside.

“… Rest early.” Song Fengwan hurriedly pressed her ear against the door to listen to the voices outside. “It’s the full moon banquet tomorrow, so you should be very busy.”

“You should rest early too.” After Qiao Aiyun chatted with Fu Chen, she was much more relieved, and her tone was more relaxed.

“Aunt Yun… I’ve been hiding it from you. It’s indeed true that I didn’t consider it carefully. Actually, after her college entrance examination ended, I wanted to tell you the truth. But at the time, you went to Nanjiang to get married and then became pregnant. Many things happened, so I really didn’t dare to

tell you.

“Mr. Qiao has already reprimanded me for this. Everyone helped me not because they really wanted to ally with me but because they care too much about you. Everyone covered for me because of you.”

Qiao Aiyun nodded. “I know.”

“Mr. Yan conspired with me because he was blinded by love. He loves you so much. Otherwise…”

“He wouldn’t have been swayed by me.

“In this entire matter, I’m the only one at fault. Everyone genuinely loves you and cares for you.”

Qiao Aiyun smiled. “I understand. Go back and sleep early.”

Song Fengwan heard the door close, and the corridor instantly became silent. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

She was about to send Fu Chen a message when her phone vibrated.

Fu Chen: [Are you asleep? I want to see you.]

“Okay.”

As soon as Song Fengwan opened the door, Fu Chen rushed in.

“What did my mom say to you downstairs? Nothing strange, right?”

Fu Chen smiled lightly. “She just asked me about how we got together, my life plans, and so on.”

“Oh.” Song Fengwan reached out and patted his back. His back was a little wet and hot. “Are you… sweating?”

“Do you really think I’m not nervous?”

“It feels like you shouldn’t.”

“If you care too much about something, you’ll get nervous. I…” Fu Chen smiled, his voice deep. “… love you so much.”

Song Fengwan felt dizzy again.

But now that the matter at home had been resolved, she felt relieved.

The two of them chatted in her room for a while before Fu Chen left.

eee

After coming out of Song Fengwan’s room, he prepared to go to the sea to catch some cold wind. As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw Qiao Xiyan answering a call downstairs.

“.. Okay. Send me the flight info. I’ll pick her up personally tomorrow.

“Uncle-Master, you’re too polite. It’s what I should do.”

Qiao Xiyan was still playing with the carving knife in his hand. From the corner of his eye, he saw Fu Chen coming downstairs. He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at him. His sharp eyebrows pressed against his sharp eyes, making him look intimidating.

His gaze landed on his slightly red lips, and he knew what had happened.

Their relationship was just made public, yet he’s already so impatient? He’s really shameless.

Fu Chen suddenly felt that his entire body was cold. He nodded at him in greeting before turning around to return to his room

Before leaving Nanjiang, I have to stay away from the Qiao father and son.

Qiao Xiyan watched his back disappear and sneered. One day, I’ll let you know whether your glib tongue or my knife is faster.
