When Fu Siming came out wrapped in a towel and saw that her face was red, he asked in confusion, "A fever?"

"No …." "No." Qiao Anxiao turned his head away to conceal his guilt.

He turned off the light and lay down gently to hug her. He could clearly feel her body stiffen as he said, "Sleep easy, I won't do anything."

"Oh …" Qiao Anzhi closed her eyes. She should have been happy, but she actually felt a little disappointed.

It's over, it's all over! What was she thinking right now!?

The next day at five in the afternoon, Fu Siming brought his wife back to the Fu Family residence.

The car stopped in front of the house. The man got out first, walked around to the side of the house to open the door for her, and took her hand.

Just as he stood up, he saw a car stop in front of him. They all knew the person who got off the car, Fu Jingjing, and Lu Ling.

When Aster saw the scene in front of him, his body froze slightly. In the past, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, Fu Siming would never have let Qiao Anzhi touch him. But now …

He was actually gripping Qiao Anxiao's hand tightly in front of her! Did he really fall in love with this woman?

Looking at the slightly resentful look in Aster's eyes and Fu Jingjing's angry eyes, Qiao Anzhi felt a little guilty, as if she had done something bad.

She struggled uncomfortably, but his grip tightened even more. There was nothing she could do but let him hold it.

Aster took a deep breath, walked up to them, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. and Mrs. Fu."

He only nodded politely and disapprovingly to her. Joanna didn't want to talk to Aster too much, so she did the same.

"I …" Aster handed the carefully wrapped gift to Fu Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, help me bring in the present for my aunt, I won't go in. "Help me say happy birthday to my aunt and apologize for me."

After saying that, Lu Zhi turned to leave. Fu Jingjing pulled her and said, "Sister Zhi, you can't leave!" Immediately, Fu Jingjing's gaze turned to Fu Siming, hoping that he would keep her, but the man remained unmoved.

Fu Jingjing glared at Qiao Anxiao, certain that she must have done something. Otherwise, why would her brother be so cold towards Sister Ai?

"Let's go in."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around his wife's slender waist and headed for the house.

"Brother!" Fu Jingjing called out to him, but the man still did not turn back. This made her quite angry.

She turned to look at Aster, shook his hand, and said, "Sister Aster, you can rest assured. I will never let that bad woman succeed! "

"Given the current situation, even if I go, it would be awkward. How about …"

"No." Fu Jingjing was resolute and decisive as she said, "It was Mommy who invited you here. This proves that in her heart, she still favors you. You can't let that woman take the limelight."

With that, Fu Jingjing brought Lu Ling in with her head held high and her chest held high.

Madam Fu did not hold a big birthday banquet this time. She had taken the initiative to say that she was old and did not like the liveliness. She only wanted to invite her relatives and friends.

Although she had said that the birthday banquet would be held at the Fu Mansion, other than the fact that there were no rentals or outsiders present, the atmosphere was still very grand.

Joanna came into the living room with Fosmin.

Madam Fu was initially very happy to see her son return, but when she saw the person beside him, her expression changed slightly. He walked over and whispered, "Why did you bring her here?"

"Mom, isn't it normal for your son and daughter-in-law to attend your birthday party?"

"You …"

Before Fu could say anything else, guests began to arrive one after another. As a longevity star, she had to take care of it herself, so she forgot about it.

Before the birthday party officially began, Fosmin handed his mother the beautifully wrapped gift.

"Mom, this is a gift for you."

She opened it and asked in surprise, "How did you get this?"

"Don't you like it? I'll buy it for you as a present. "

Mother Fu was very fond of tea and had collected quite a few tea sets. This tea set was sold in limited quantities. At that time, she had missed out on buying it and thought it was a pity.

"You're really thoughtful." Mother Fu smiled in relief.

"An Ran was the one who tried to find the gift. He knew that you loved to drink tea, and he also knew that this was all because of your good intentions. It took him a lot of effort to get it."

Mother Fu's smile froze on her face in the next second. Even Qiao Anxiao was also stupefied. He looked towards Fu Siming and asked, "When did I …"

Mother Fu's expression changed. However, due to the presence of the guests, she simply placed the tea set to the side and smiled stiffly at Qiao Anjiao. "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts."

This scene was simply seen by the onlookers. A kind mother-in-law and a filial daughter-in-law. Those guests who were related to each other at first even heard some gossip, saying that the relationship between the daughter-in-law wasn't good. But now, it seemed that the relationship was very harmonious!

Mother Fu also had her own considerations. Previously, she had forced Qiao Anxiao to do so because Madam Qiao was on the verge of dying. But now, the Qiao Group had returned to life. No matter what, its management was beneficial to the Fu Group, although it was still lacking when compared to the Lu Group.

Naturally, she preferred Lu Yucheng to be her daughter-in-law, but Qiao Anyun still had her grandfather's will, the trump card.

"Auntie."

Everyone's gaze was attracted by the crisp voice. When Mother Fu saw that it was Aster, she smiled and said, "Aster, come here. Come to me."

The guests felt that something was amiss. How could Lady Fu, the longevity star, be kinder to Lu Ling than to her daughter-in-law? Could it really be as the rumors said, that the ideal daughter-in-law candidate in her heart would be the Lu family's daughter?

Seeing Fu Jingjing and Lu Zhi together, Mother Fu turned to her daughter and snappily said, "You still know how to come back!"

"Mom …" I was wrong! " Fu Jingjing went forward to hold onto her mother, glanced at Qiao Anzhi out of the corner of her eyes, then hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "What a great day today, please don't be angry, alright? Look at the gift I gave you! "

Mother Fu could only smile helplessly. "Such a grown-up person actually looks like a child!"

"Auntie, this is a gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Aster's box was very delicate. Mother Fu took it and opened it. It was also a set of tea set. Speaking of which, what a coincidence …

"Very elegant, I like it." Mother Fu nodded approvingly. "I just don't like those fancy things."

This was clearly a double entendre of words. Even the dull-witted Qiao Anxiao could sense it, but he could not say anything.

Mother Fu handed the tea set given to her by Lu Zhi to the housekeeper. "Carefully store this set of tea sets for me."

The butler took the tea set and was about to leave when he was called back. He heard Mother Fu reluctantly say, "Take the other set and put it away as well."

After all, with so many pairs of eyes watching, the bias was too obvious.

The six o'clock birthday banquet had officially begun. The main character of the day, Lady Fu, spoke a few words as her birthday star.

It was nothing more than the polite words of "thank you everyone for coming to attend". It was totally meaningless to Qiao Anxian. He felt that this birthday banquet was truly boring.

She had been standing up in her uncomfortable high heels, and she felt tired all over. She just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, but now that everyone was standing, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to run over and sit down.

When he sensed that something was wrong with her, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"Foot pain …" "High heels are really too inhumane."

"Relax. If you lean on me, you won't be so tired."

Johann tried to do as he was told.

All this was witnessed by Lu Zhi who was not far away. Her face was expressionless, but her heart was in turmoil.

She just wanted to take back what was originally hers. What was wrong with that?

She noticed that Fu Jingjing had also seen this scene. With Fu Jingjing stirring up trouble in the middle, things would be much easier.

After Mother Fu finished her pleasantries, she invited everyone to do as they pleased. Many people raised their wine glasses and began to chat with people they knew or wanted to meet. It was no different from other banquets.

What was the meaning of this kind of social interaction?

"If you are tired, go upstairs to rest."

Hearing this, the woman nodded her head and was about to leave when Aster's voice came from behind her.

"Si Ming..." Mister Fu, would it be an honor to dance with you? "

When Qiao Anyun heard this, although he felt somewhat unhappy in his heart, in the end … It was what he had told Aster, encouraging Aster to "snatch" Fu back.

"You and Miss Lu can go dance. I can do it myself …" After saying that, Qiao Anyun was about to leave. She didn't know what had happened to her. Seeing the two of them like this, she felt a burst of panic in her heart and wanted to desperately run away.

When he saw her like this, a cold glint appeared in his dark pupils. He glanced at her and thought to himself, I'll take care of her when I get back.

Seeing the expectant look in Aster's eyes, Fu replied flatly, "I'm sorry, but I want to dance with my wife for the first time." After saying that, he pulled Qiao Anzhi to the center, where the melody began.

"What are you doing?" After knowing what he was going to do, he refused to move forward no matter what.

"Don't act recklessly, I … I can't dance! "

"I'm fine." "Just follow me," he whispered in her ear.

Fu Siming's voice was very low and deep, but it seemed to exude some sort of magic.

She might have danced before, but she had forgotten. If you don't even know what steps are right now, how are you going to jump?

Joanna stumbled on the man several times, his bright black shoes marked with marks.

The surrounding people were all watching and laughing secretly. Qiao Anxiao bit his lip, feeling extremely embarrassed. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

"How about we stop dancing, I …"

He tightened his grip on her and said, "You can try. Try it. Follow my footsteps, I'll carry you, and your body will naturally follow me. "

"Alright." Qiao Anjiao took a deep breath. He had already lost his face, so he didn't mind taking a bit longer.

According to what he said, the more the woman jumped, the more in condition she was in, her movements became smoother and more beautiful, to the amazement of those who wanted to see a joke.

"It's really possible!"

Starlight flickered in the woman's eyes.

Fu Siming looked at her, then pulled her back into his arms.

Qiao Anxian lost his balance and fell into his arms.

She raised her head to look at the man in front of her in astonishment. Following that, a warm and thin lips covered her lips.

He had actually kissed her in front of so many people.
