Chapter 289  : Little Angel Niannian, She Likes Every Single Inch

In a certain clubhouse in Beijing…

Yu Manxi had just booked a car on a vehicle rental platform. Before the car arrived, a black Jaguar stopped in front of her. The car’s body was entirely black and exuded a cold light in the night.

She shuddered as the car window slowly lowered. Fu Sinian’s taciturn and refined face appeared in front of her. “Mr. Fu, what a coincidence. Why are you here?”

She smiled brightly at Fu Sinian. She had been ‘missing’ for more than ten days.

“Going home?” Fu Sinian looked her up and down. He didn’t know where she had gone, but she looked even thinner than before.

“Yes, are you going home too? Can you bring me along?” Yu Manxi smiled.

“Get in.”

…

After getting in the car, Yu Manxi studied him from the corner of her eye. She lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, canceling the car booking. “What a coincidence.”

“It’s not a coincidence.” Fu Sinian turned the steering wheel.

“Huh?”

“I saw you just now.”

“When?”

“When you were pinching someone else’s chin and threatening her.”

Yu Manxi’s fingers trembled. “Y-you saw it?”

“Since you know that person is the mastermind, why didn’t you call the police?” Fu Sinian was expressionless.

“I was just making a wild guess. A few days ago, I indeed felt that I was being followed. She also mentioned that she had seen me at the clubhouse. My intuition told me that this matter definitely had something to do with her. It was just a bluff. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Yu Manxi didn’t have the connections to investigate such matters in the capital, nor did she have the time or energy to do so.

“I was talking nonsense. I didn’t expect that she really did it.

“If I really had evidence in my hand, I would have given it to the police and Ning Fan long ago. Why would I give her face? There’s no point in continuing to deal with her there.”

Fu Sinian licked the corner of his lips and cleared his throat.

He had insulted Fu Chen because of this matter just now. But now that he thought about it, he felt a little scared…

Yu Manxi had suffered an attempted robbery, so Fu Chen had said that he would help him keep an eye on this matter. But no matter how much he investigated, there was no progress. So just now…

“Third Uncle, are you really helping me investigate?”

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean by that?”

“She already knows who’s behind it. It’s been more than half a month, but you don’t have any news at all. If it’s not because you didn’t take it seriously, then you’re not capable…”

Not capable??Fu Chen’s expression changed slightly. “Are you questioning my ability?”

“Isn’t it true that you’re inferior to a girl?”

Fu Chen smiled at him but didn’t say anything else.

He had indeed sent someone to investigate it, but this matter had gone through the hands of many people. Moreover, it happened during the Lunar New Year period, so some of the middlemen had left the capital. They were missing a link in the middle, so they couldn’t find the culprit.

…

Fu Sinian thought about it carefully.?Third Uncle is so vengeful, and I probably offended him badly this time.

But how could I have known that Yu Manxi dug a hole for that female celebrity to jump into?

Inside her heart, Yu Manxi hated Xia Yunong to the core. She had completely lost her image in front of Fu Sinian.

Actually, ever since she had violently beaten up that criminal, she had no image to speak of in Fu Sinian’s heart.

“Mr. Fu, I’m sorry I was away for so long. Is Niannian doing well?”

Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows. “What do you think?”

Yu Manxi bit her lip. She felt that Fu Sinian’s aura was off today and didn’t dare to say anything else.

“I just came back. When I saw that your condo’s lights were off and that there was no one at home either, I went to celebrate my friend’s birthday. After I gave my present, I prepared to go back. I didn’t expect to meet you again. Otherwise, I would have called you, ” Yu Manxi explained simply.

“Mhm,” Fu Sinian replied in a muffled voice.

The two of them didn’t say anything else along the way, and the atmosphere was extremely stifling.

Inside the clubhouse…

Shen Jinye and Fu Yuxiu played for a while before returning to the private room. When they saw that Fu Chen’s face was austere, the two of them exchanged glances.

“Third Uncle, we’re back,” Fu Yuxiu said tentatively.

“I thought you guys weren’t planning to return anymore.”

“No, how is that possible?” Shen Jinye chuckled.

“I still have something to do. I’m not going back to the old residence. You two can take a taxi back.” Then Fu Chen left his two nephews in the cold wind.

“Who pissed Little Uncle off? Why does it seem like he ate a bullet? He’s a little scary.” Shen Jinye was speechless.

“Isn’t this his normal behavior?” Fu Yuxiu shrugged. If Fu Chen treated him in a pleasant manner one day, he would really feel uncomfortable all over, as though he had seen a ghost.

Software Garden condominium building…

Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi took the elevator upstairs and didn’t speak the whole way until Yu Manxi said, “Then, I’ll return home first.”

Fu Sinian frowned. “You don’t want Niannian anymore?”

Yu Manxi’s heart skipped a beat. She turned around and followed behind him.

Because there was nothing to talk about along the way, Fu Sinian’s face was cold and solemn, and his aura was chilly the whole time. Yu Manxi didn’t dare to talk to him at all.

As soon as the two entered the condo, the little kitten jumped out of its nest and pounced toward Yu Manxi. “Meow—”

“Niannian!” Yu Manxi picked up the cat. “What yummy snacks have you been eating recently? You’ve gained weight.”

Fu Sinian turned around to pour a glass of water. From the corner of his eye, he saw her hugging the cat and rubbing her face against it non-stop, looking very intimate.

“Little Angel Niannian, did you miss Mommy?”

Fu Sinian almost vomited.

Forget about the Little Angel Niannian. Mommy?

This woman…

He lightly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

“Aiyah, let’s kiss!” Yu Manxi hugged the cat and called out dearly and lovingly. “Muack! One kiss…”

Fu Sinian reached out to take off his glasses and pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling a slight headache.

Yu Manxi had been secretly looking at him the whole time. She felt sweet, and this sweet feeling was as if honey had been spilled. It was as though even the color of the entire world was different when she looked at him.

She thought that Fu Sinian didn’t see her.

After a moment, Fu Sinian put his glasses back on and tilted his head to look at her. “Why do you keep looking at me?”

His gaze looked straight at her. Yu Manxi was so startled that her heart skipped a beat. She hugged the cat in her arms tightly. “N-no, I didn’t.” Her gaze drifted away and somehow landed on him again.

When Yu Manxi was away this time, she had thought about a lot of things, and she had even thought about giving up on Fu Sinian. They were not from the same world to begin with.

Even after building up her mental fortitude, she still unconsciously wanted to get close to Fu Sinian after seeing him.

There had never been such a person in this world…

… where she liked every inch of his body.

…

Yu Manxi’s gaze fell on his slightly thin lips. Perhaps because he had just drunk water, they looked soft and moist…

She bit the corner of her lips lightly.?He’s usually taciturn. I wonder what he’d look like if we kissed. Would he be like this too?

Later on, she found out that once a certain someone broke his abstinence, it was like a wildfire that reached the sky, burning endlessly.

***

After Yu Manxi carried the cat back, she turned on her computer and started browsing through various major recruitment websites to submit her resume.

Previously, she had found an assistant job at a TV station. But because she had missed the reporting time, she could no longer work there anymore and could only start over.

It wasn’t easy to find a job. She started leaving early and returning late while Fu Sinian hid during the day and came out at night. Although the two of them lived opposite each other, they rarely met.

Meanwhile, in Yuncheng, Song Fengwan’s college entrance examination entered the hundredth-day countdown.

Every school placed great importance on a pledge made in a rally on the hundredth day. Yuncheng First High School informed all the parents of the senior high school students and requested them to attend the oath-taking ceremony that day.

After finishing her evening self-study, Song Fengwan handed over the notice arrangements issued by the school to Qiao Aiyun.

At 2 p.m. on February 27th, all the senior high school teachers, students, and their parents would have a meeting in the school’s auditorium. At 4 p.m., they would return to the classrooms to convene a parent-teacher meeting for each class.

“Mom, are you free to go?” Song Fengwan asked.

Qiao Aiyun smiled. “Of course I have to go.”

“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded. When she thought about how there were only a hundred days left until the college entrance examination, she felt nervous, but she also couldn’t hide her excitement.

As soon as the two of them reached home, Qiao Aiyun stopped Song Fengwan. “Have some supper before returning to your room.”

She had been staying up until one or two every day recently, and she had to wake up at five. If this continued, how could her body endure it?

“Okay.” Song Fengwan truly was a little hungry.

Qiao Aiyun boiled some fish head tofu soup and scooped a big bowl for her.

“Isn’t Uncle Yan at home? Do you want to call him over to drink with us?” When Song Fengwan entered the door, she saw the shoes Yan Wangchuan had changed out of.

“He’s having a video conference with people from his company upstairs. Leave him alone for the time being.”

Song Fengwan nodded with a smile. The fish soup was steaming hot. She scooped a spoonful of soup and blew on it. “Mom, our teacher said that the college entrance exam will be held at the beginning of next month.”

“I see.” Qiao Aiyun nodded in response.

“I think my… time of the month will arrive during those few days. Will this affect me?” Song Fengwan muttered softly. Their homeroom teacher was a man, so she was too embarrassed to ask this.

Qiao Aiyun glanced at her. “Let’s discuss it with the doctor during your physical checkup when the time comes. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”

She smiled awkwardly. She suddenly remembered that her own period had been delayed for more than a week…
