Chapter 687 : Sixth Master and the Sweet Young Lady, Hugging in Public
Inside the private room…
Jing Hanchuan and Xu Yuanfei stood opposite each other, and there was enough space between them to accommodate one person. Everyone in the room looked at the two of them teasingly.
“Don’t just stand there. Hug!” Duan Linbai munched on melon seeds.?Weren’t you very impressive just now? Go ahead.
“…” Xu Yuanfei was even more nervous than before and at a loss.
But neither of them seemed to have hugged anyone before, and they didn’t even know how to reach out their hands. They seemed a little reserved.
The surrounding spectators were watching with relish. Even Fu Chen held back his laughter and coughed twice. With the two of them dawdling, they probably wouldn’t be able to hug before the night was over.
“Don’t move. I’ll do it.” Jing Hanchuan’s voice was low.
He reached out his hands. It was very gentlemanly, intimate yet distant.
Perhaps because they didn’t expect the two of them to really hug, there was a brief silence in the room. Then Duan Linbai said, “Wait!
“Sorry, I forgot to count the time. Let’s start counting down from one minute now.” Duan Linbai grinned.
“This is how he does things. He’s a little careless,” Jing Hanchuan said softly.
“Oh,” Xu Yuanfei replied lightly.
“Why haven’t you been delivering food recently?”
“School just started, so the store is quite busy.”
“The new dessert released recently tastes good.
“Have you ever done this with your boyfriend before?”
“I haven’t been in a relationship yet.” Xu Yuanfei felt that her voice was trembling.
“We’re the same.”
…
These three simple words ignited a fire in Xu Yuanfei’s heart. Her palms were sweaty, and her fingers moved. She wanted to reach out her hands, but she didn’t dare…
Duan Linbai looked down at the time.?Are these two zombies? They’re not moving, and…
What are you guys talking about while hugging?! Can’t you be louder?
“Alright, it’s time!” Duan Linbai actually let the time go over a bit.
Jing Hanchuan let go. “Sorry.”
“It’s fine.” Xu Yuanfei’s voice was stiff.
“Hanchuan, how is it? How do you feel?” Duan Linbai leaned over with a wicked smile.
“This isn’t within the scope of Truth or Dare.” Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows.
“Miss Xu, did he take the opportunity to take advantage of you?”
Xu Yuanfei shook her head.
Everyone played a few more rounds, but they didn’t dare to provoke Jing Hanchuan anymore. A certain someone kept tapping his fingers on the table, looking like he would drag someone back to feed the fish if they dared to cause any more trouble.

Around three o’clock, the gathering ended. Xu Yuanfei’s car had been towed away. In the end, she got into Fu Sinian’s car and left with the couple.
Fu Chen and Song Fengwan set off for the resort.
“Hanchuan, what’s going on between you and Miss Xu? I thought you two already hooked up. Why didn’t she let you send her back? Looks like your relationship isn’t that close.
“You’re already a VVIP in her store, yet you two are still stuck in a store-owner-customer relationship?
“Don’t wait for Third Fu’s child to be born, but you two are still in a platonic relationship.”
Jing Hanchuan glanced at him. “It’s better than you being an ownerless wild dog.”
Duan Linbai was dumbfounded. “The people who want to sleep with me can circle the world.”
“Are you sure they’re real fans?”
Just now, when Duan Linbai lost a round, Fu Chen had asked him to post an ugly photo on Weibo. Then many people asked if Duan Linbai was crazy. Why didn’t he care about his image at all? What did fans like about him?
Then the comments below were all: “Idol behavior, don’t promote it to fans.”
He was almost angered to death. Were these people his true fans?
“But Hanchuan, tell me. What did it feel to hug her?”
Jing Hanchuan ignored him and left in his car.
…
After returning home, the sun was low in the sky. His mother was singing in the courtyard in a costume.
“Sixth Master, I haven’t heard Madam sing this before.”
“Kunqu opera, ‘Over a Wall and Atop a Horse’.” Jing Hanchuan rubbed his fishing pole. Sheng Aiyi specialized in Beijing opera, and she could also sing a few verses of Kunqu opera.
The man took out his phone and scrolled through it. It was about a man and a woman falling in love. The two of them lived together for five to six years before their families found out. But in a feudal society, it was important to be properly wedded. His parents chased the wife away. Then the woman returned home and leaned against the wall. She saw the husband riding past outside the wall. He was close, but he was as far away as the horizon…
“But these two lived together for five to six years before being discovered. They’re quite impressive.”
Jing Hanchuan didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and ate the coconut cake beside him…
‘Over a Wall and Atop a Horse’. Although the tragedy had been changed to a comedy, he still didn’t like it. Since they liked each other, why did it have to come to this? She could only lean on the wall and watch?

After Song Fengwan’s birthday, Fu Chen’s birthday banquet was officially on the agenda. Fu Chen had never held a private event in public before, so everyone racked their brains to get an invitation.
Moreover, people heard that Fu Chen had hired top international designers to help design the birthday venue. It wasn’t his style to make such a big fuss.
But everyone’s focus was still on Jiang Fengya. On his birthday, she would appear as Fu Yuxiu’s other half, and she was pregnant.
The Fu family were holding a birthday banquet with great fanfare. Many people guessed that they were preparing to use this opportunity to clear Jiang Fengya’s name.
Helping her clear her name on Third Master Fu’s birthday was giving her enough face.
But a few days before the birthday banquet, someone photographed Qiao Xiyan in a hotel in the capital. The person with him happened to be Third Master Fu. According to his arrival time in the capital, he was most likely here to attend Fu Chen’s birthday banquet.
But his relationship with Jiang Fengya was also one where they couldn’t bear to see each other. But Fu Chen personally picked him up at the hotel. What was he doing?
When these few groups of people met, the atmosphere would definitely be awkward.
Fu Wan saw the decorated birthday venue and frowned slightly. She called to ask, “Third Brother, did you personally confirm the design?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure there’s no problem?”
“No problem.”
Fu Wan stared at the birthday venue that was almost completed.?It’s his birthday, but why does it look like he’s proposing to someone? Does it have to be so grand? Flowers and roses? This kid is almost thirty, yet he still has such a young maiden’s heart?
Song Fengwan was busy preparing a birthday gift for Fu Chen, but the news reports inevitably mentioned Jiang Fengya…
Why is this woman even busier than me, his official girlfriend?
