Chapter 805 - Third Master Conspires, Xu Yuanfei Doesn't Return All Night?

After Fu Chen mentioned the issue about ‘freshness’, Jing Hanchuan played a mobile game a few times, but he couldn’t forget about it. It made him a little annoyed.

At this time, Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci planned to leave. After all, she was pregnant, so it was best not to stay up late. When they left, Fu Chen even invited the Jiang brothers to play on New Year’s Eve.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Jiang Duanyan already felt a little apologetic since Duan Linbai had treated them to this meal today.

But with his current status, it probably wasn’t good enough for him to invite these people to eat together. He kept wanting to make it up to them from somewhere else, so how could he let Fu Chen spend money again?

Moreover, Fu Chen should be the one responsible for the entire New Year’s Eve’s expenses. He couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

“It’s fine. It’s more lively with more people. Or do you have other arrangements?” Fu Chen spoke to him like an ordinary friend.

Since he already said this, and Jiang Duanyan indeed had nothing to do during New Year’s Eve, he agreed with a smile. He was still thinking about whether to give him or Song Fengwan a gift.

When they went out, Jiang Ershao, this little fool, even said happily, “Big Bro, are we going out to play with Wanwan then?”

Jiang Duanyan didn’t say anything. Why are you so happy about going out to play with someone else’s wife? She gave you a look, and you even put on female clothing. You’re really possessed.

“What do you think I should wear on that day? Or I should go buy some new clothes.”

“No matter how good you look, she won’t take another look at you. Don’t flatter yourself.” Jiang Duanyan chuckled.

“Clothes make the man. If I look good, won’t you have face too?”

“You’ve already lost my face completely tonight.”

Jiang Ershao choked. He makes it sound like I’m an embarrassment to him.

“Besides, Third Master Fu might be up to something big this time. Don’t rush forward and court death.”

“Am I that blind?” Jiang Ershao snorted coldly.

“It’s not that you’re blind. You are…” Jiang Duanyan glanced at him. “Brainless.”

Jiang Ershao was so angry that he almost jumped out of his seat. “If you continue like this, I’ll jump out of the car!”

“Jumping off a car won’t kill you. If you’re crippled, I won’t support you for the rest of your life.”

Jiang Ershao sat back in his seat, feeling dizzy.

He’s definitely not my f*cking brother. Who can be so ruthless to their brother?

On another side…

Fu Chen brought Song Fengwan straight back to Yunjin Prime Manor. Qiao Aiyun and the others had been staying here for the past few days. Little Mr. Yan seemed to have slept earlier and was now crawling on the carpet.

Seeing the two of them return, he babbled and giggled.

One time, when he was playing on the carpet, no one was paying attention to him. When they went to look for him, they found that he had actually crawled into Fu Xinhan’s doghouse and pushed the dog out.

Fu Xinhan curled up on the floor and looked at him pitifully. He actually imitated the dog’s sleeping posture and shrank into his doghouse, making Qiao Aiyun not know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t sleep on a good bed but insisted on snatching things from a dog. He’s really promising.

When she finally carried him out, he was still clamoring to take the doghouse away.

He even forced Qiao Aiyun to put the dog’s items into a box.

Fu Xinhan’s screaming chicken, furballs, and other toys were all taken away, making the dog feel wronged.

So for a few days, Fu Xinhan was reduced to sleeping beside Niannian’s cat bed.

Every time Fu Xinhan played with a ball, Little Mr. Yan would go up and join in. The dog seemed to be scared of him. Seeing him crawl over, he turned around and ran away.

Song Fengwan was curious about it “What did Little Chi do to Fu Xinhan that he’s so afraid of him?”

Fu Chen shook his head helplessly.

…

When they returned, Qiao Aiyun had just finished feeding Little Mr. Yan. When she saw the two of them enter, she said, “I’ll warm up some soup for you. Have some before sleeping.”

“Thank you, Aunt Yun.”

“Mmph~” Little Mr. Yan bit his pacifier and reached out for Fu Chen to hug him.

“It looks like Little Chi really likes you.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.

Fu Chen smiled dryly. To be honest, this brat didn’t cry or make a fuss. He was indeed easier to coax than ordinary kids. But Fu Chen didn’t have any experience taking care of children, so it was very difficult for him at first.

The first time he changed his diapers, he looked at the thing and didn’t know where to start.

“Aunt Yun, when are you going back to Nanjiang?”

“Probably soon.” Old Madam Yan was still in the Yan residence. She had been calling frequently recently to say that she missed her grandson.

Fu Chen carried Little Mr. Yan to her side and whispered a few words. When Song Fengwan came out of the kitchen with the soup, she saw the two of them whispering mysteriously.

But when she got closer, she seemed to hear them talking about going to the Tang family to propose before the new year, so she didn’t take it to heart.

But she knew very well that Fu Chen seemed to be up to something recently. But when she asked, a certain someone remained silent.

On another side…

After Xu Yuanfei sent off the last customer in the store, she hung the closed sign on the door. After washing the kitchen utensils, she planned to leave. Only then did she notice that Jing Hanchuan had sent her a message.

[Are you still doing deliveries?]

Xu Yuanfei looked at her watch. It was already half past ten in the evening. Without any hesitation, she replied: [What do you want to eat? There’s only some sliced bread and croissants in the store.]

She remembered what Fu Chen had told her previously. Just as he had said, there was no need to worry about the future now.

[Sure.]

The address Jing Hanchuan sent was not the Jing residence but the high-end community.

Xu Yuanfei recalled what Jing Hanchuan had said before.

Matrimonial house!

When these two words popped out, her heart inexplicably started to beat faster.

She tidied up, packed the bread, turned off the power, and drove straight to the community.

On the way, she received a call from her mother asking when she would be back.

“… Didn’t you say you weren’t doing deliveries? It’s such a cold day, and there’s no one outside. I’ll get your brother to go over and help you. Your store is busy with business, and he’s on vacation recently, so I’ll get him to work for you.”

“No need. It’s a regular customer, and I’m just dropping off some bread along the way. I’ll be back soon.”

“It’s already so late. Couldn’t they have ordered some hotpot and barbecue for supper? There are people who eat bread so late?”

“Maybe it’s for breakfast.” Xu Yuanfei felt inexplicably guilty.

She and Jing Hanchuan were in an ambiguous period. Delivering him food and giving him bread were all fake. She just wanted to see him.

“Then be careful. If anything happens, call us immediately.”

At this hour in the winter, there was no one on the streets. As a mother, she was definitely worried.

After hanging up, she complained to her husband, who was lying at the side and reading. “She’s still outside so late at night. What if something happens?”

“It’s good enough as long as our daughter doesn’t find trouble with anyone. What accident can happen? It definitely won’t be like when she was a child…”

When a certain someone remembered how his daughter’s head had bled when she was young, his heart clenched into a ball. That little bastard from the Jing family…

“You said before that Jing Hanchuan has a girlfriend?”

“Xu Yao said it.” Master Xu closed the book. When he thought of Jing Hanchuan, he couldn’t even focus on reading.

“Is that so… That girl must really love him.”

“Who knows which family’s unlucky daughter fell for that bastard. She won’t have a good life in the future,” Master Xu said firmly.

“Then, are we going to the banquet?”

“What banquet? They might not invite us. But we have to find a good partner for our daughter. At the very least, he can’t be inferior to the Jing family. He has to be better than that brat.”

Mrs. Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why is he competing over this?

“We have to find a refined son-in-law. With Jing Hanchuan’s character, if someone marries him, she’ll definitely suffer from domestic violence in the future.” His tone was quite firm.

…

As long as Master Xu thought of Jing Hanchuan, he would have a stomach full of complaints. He even said that Jing Hanchuan was young, but he had started his retirement already. He spent all day fishing and didn’t look like a young man at all. He was listless.

“Say, he’s so young, but he doesn’t do anything serious all day and only fishes and raises crabs at home. This kind of man has no potential. In the future, any girl who follows him will definitely suffer.”

But how could he have known that his daughter had already stepped into Jing Hanchuan’s matrimonial home again?

Not long later, Master Xu’s face was completely swollen.

Thinking of Jing Hanchuan, Master Xu couldn’t fall asleep anymore. He went downstairs to heat up a glass of milk for his daughter and sat in the living room to watch the night news for a while while waiting quietly for her to return.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t see her. At around one in the night, he received a call saying that she wasn’t coming back tonight and was staying at a friend’s house.

Master Xu thought that his daughter wouldn’t lie to him, so he went to bed without thinking much.

Who knew that she didn’t return because she spent all night with Jing Hanchuan?
