Chapter 435  : I Don’t Like Children, I Only Like You

Yu Manxi’s gaze landed on the dark red residence booklet, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. “Did you…”

“My mom gave it to me.” Fu Sinian looked at the bowl of black chicken soup in front of her. “You haven’t drunk the soup yet?”

“I wanted to wait for you to come back so we could eat together. I’ll heat up the dishes.” Yu Manxi got up and walked to the kitchen, her heart aching. Fu Sinian usually didn’t talk much, but he could always do things that surprised her.

She had just entered the kitchen and had yet to turn on the stove when she felt someone approaching behind her and pulling into a warm embrace.

Fu Sinian had walked back and forth in a hurry. At this moment, his chest was heaving slightly, and he was even panting slightly.

“I’m not good at talking. If you’re dissatisfied with me, you can tell me directly.

“Actually, I’ve never thought that far ahead about children. I don’t really like children myself.

“Besides…” Fu Sinian lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck. “We just started…”

He stopped speaking, but Yu Manxi was blushing in embarrassment.

“Why don’t you like children?”

“Since I could remember, I’ve known that I have an uncle who’s younger than me, and I still had to take care of him. You’ve also interacted with Third Uncle before. He’s not a good person, so there’s no harm in not… I don’t have a good impression of children,” Fu Sinian said bluntly.

Yu Manxi nodded with a smile.?So he has a problem with children because of his third uncle?

“But if they’re ours…”

“I will love them because I…”

His voice was hoarse as he rubbed against her ear. “I love you.”

Yu Manxi’s breathing stopped, and her heart suddenly sped up.

“I’ll go heat up the food.”

“Don’t burn my kitchen.” Yu Manxi was worried.

“I just can’t cook.” Heating up food was still fine.

Old Fu residence…

Yesterday was Old Master Fu’s birthday, so everyone had slept late at night. Old Master Fu and Qiao Wangbei had only returned to their rooms to rest early in the morning. Fu Chen hadn’t been able to interact deeply with Song Fengwan last night, so he had slept early.

After breakfast, he was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and sunbathing. As he heard the sound of a car approaching, Fu Sinian’s Land Rover had already stopped steadily at the entrance of the courtyard.

He was dressed casually. Fu Chen narrowed his eyes, looked at the clear hickey on his neck, and felt even more displeased.

“Third Uncle.”

Fu Chen snorted coldly and took a sip of tea with the air of an elder. “Why are you back so early in the morning?”

“Are my parents up yet?”

Before Fu Chen could speak, Dai Yunqing had already come out of her room. “What’s the matter?”

She was also a little surprised to see Fu Sinian. Although he was a typical IT geek, he was still the eldest grandson of the Fu family after all. He paid a lot of attention to his image when he went out. It was the first time he had appeared so slovenly.

“You…”

“Mom, if I get the marriage certificate with her, will you and Dad object?”

Fu Chen had a mouthful of hot tea in his throat, so hot that his throat hurt.

Dai Yunqing was also a little surprised. “Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes.”

“You’ve proposed to her?”

“Not yet.”

Fu Sinian was dumbfounded. He suddenly remembered that there was a marriage proposal.

“In that case, why are you anxious?” Dai Yunqing chuckled. “Girls value this a lot. Don’t think it doesn’t matter.”

“She may be pregnant.”

Fu Chen choked on a mouthful of tea. In order to maintain his image, he held it in. His face turned red and green, becoming increasingly unfathomable.?Pregnant?

“What did you say?” Dai Yunqing was surprised and delighted. “Sinian, are you serious? When did this happen?”

“Last night?”

“But there didn’t seem to be anything strange with her yesterday.” Fu Sinian was already in his thirties. Although Dai Yunqing didn’t rush him much, she still wanted him to get married and have children soon.

“We didn’t take any measures last night, so she might be pregnant.”

Fu Chen sneered. “Even if you really did it last night, it’s probably not even a fertilized egg now. Can you speak more clearly?”

He had been so frightened at the thought that he was really going to be a grandfather in advance.

“That’s right. You shocked me. I thought…” Dai Yunqing sighed. She also thought that she was going to be a grandmother. She was happy for nothing. “You want to get a certificate because of this? ”

“She feels insecure, and I don’t know how to make her feel more at ease,” Fu Sinian said bluntly.

Dai Yunqing also knew about Yu Manxi’s family matters. After thinking for a moment, she said, “I can give you the residence booklet. After all, it’s your marriage, and you can decide for yourself. Just follow your heart. Little Yu is a good person. Your dad and I have no objections.”

“Eldest Sister-In-Law, is Eldest Brother really fine with you making the decision on his behalf?” Fu Chen chuckled.

Dai Yunqing smiled. “Would he dare? Anyway, I’m looking forward to being a grandmother…”

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.?I’m not looking forward to it at all.

Fu Sinian was like a gust of wind, arriving quickly and leaving in a hurry. But Fu Chen felt increasingly upset.

***

After Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet, Fi Shinan and his wife left the next day. Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua stayed for two more days because Fu Yuxiu would be staying in the capital for an internship, and they had to make proper arrangements for him.

In fact, Fu Yuxiu could live in the old residence. But children nowadays weren’t willing to live with the elderly and felt that there were too many restrictions. Fu Zhongli had also invested in a few properties in the capital.

After picking an apartment near Fu Chen’s company, Sun Qionghua tidied up the apartment and helped Fu Yuxiu move in before leaving.

Yan Wangchuan was worried about Qiao Aiyun, so he set off for Nanjiang after the birthday banquet.

Meanwhile, Qiao Wangbei and Qiao Xiyan stayed in the capital. First, because of the plagiarism incident, there were many follow-up matters that they needed to handle. Second, Old Master Fu wanted them to stay for a few more days.

The two of them couldn’t dissuade the two elders of the Fu family, so they stayed in the capital for a while longer. However, they didn’t stay in the old residence, but they often visited.

But this made Fu Chen suffer.

The Qiao father and son were here. As long as the two of them weren’t busy, they liked to bring Song Fengwan out to eat or go out to play. Qiao Wangbei was even invited to lecture at Beijing University’s Central Academy of Fine Arts and was almost inseparable from Song Fengwan.

It was even harder for him to meet his girlfriend when they were in a relationship.

Fu Chen was so free that he ran to the company all day long, making the employees suffer.

Third Master Fu usually only came to the company occasionally. But why did it seem like he was on steroids recently? He came every day, making everyone tremble in fear.

His irritation had spread to the higher-ups of the company. They relayed the task arrangements to the people below, so the people below naturally suffered even more.

Fu Yuxiu had thought that it would be easy for him to intern at Fu Chen’s company. After all, he was just an intern…

Who knew that Fu Chen had already told his mentor beforehand, “Although he’s my nephew, you don’t need to take special care of him. If necessary, you have to be even stricter with him.”

Therefore, Fu Yuxiu had been working overtime since he started working.

The most miserable thing was that an intern’s monthly salary was only 1200 yuan. It was not enough to spend at all. His third uncle was too much.

When he occasionally complained to his mother, Sun Qionghua actually said directly, “Your third uncle is doing this for your own good. It’s a good thing to be strict with you.

“The next time I go to the capital, I have to treat your third uncle to a meal.

“Thank him for helping me take care of you for me.”

F*ck, how is this taking care of me? This is clearly exploitation.?Other people get overtime pay when they work overtime, but I can’t see a single cent. Moreover, Third Uncle specially instructed that everyone treat me as an ordinary intern.

It was his first time in the workplace. To build good relationships with others, he would definitely have to treat them to coffee or something.

After a few days of internship, he had already spent a lot of money.

The mentor who brought him along said, “Don’t worry. Third Master will only be coming to the company for a bit. He won’t be coming to the company in a few days. At that time, everyone will be more relaxed.”

He had been waiting and hoping, but his third uncle came every day, rain or shine.

He was simply a diligent little bee. Why was he suddenly so dedicated?

He didn’t look forward to the weekends, but he was looking forward to the day when his third uncle wouldn’t go to the company. Moreover, because he was an intern, Fu Chen often went down to inspect the ground-level staff, making everyone feel insecure.

One time, he was helping fax documents when Fu Chen suddenly appeared behind him, scaring him so much that his legs went weak.

He had even dreamed of his third uncle when he slept that night.

This internship was simply a nightmare.

However, after being in his company for a few days, Fu Yuxiu had learned a lot. Fu Chen wasn’t a stingy elder and had also instructed his mentor to take care of him, and the mentor would answer any questions he had.

His days were fulfilling, but they were also very bitter.

The most frightening thing was that his third uncle actually checked up on him frequently. He didn’t even have time to go out to play. He worked during the day and was dead tired at night.

Fu Chen even told him, “Don’t go out clubbing and fool around.”

He really wanted to, but he couldn’t even lift my arms after work. Where would he have the strength to fool around?

He was shrouded in Fu Chen’s shadow all day long, and his days were not as good as Fu Xinhan’s.

On the other side, due to the Gao Xue incident, Old Master Qiao became popular again. In addition to inviting Qiao Wangbei to come to the school to give lectures, Beijing University also held a series of events to commemorate this old master.

It was also at this time that Song Fengwan found out why the main school building of Beijing University’s Central Academy of Fine Arts was called Yuhe Tower.

It was said that when this specialization was founded, there was no money, no teachers, and no students. Old Master Qiao had funded and built a few houses, and they were the first teaching buildings of the art school.

The red-brick houses had been demolished a long time ago, and his name was used for the teaching building later.

Qiao Wangbei gave seven lectures at the art school, and today was the last one.

In the South Campus Auditorium, the huge auditorium was full. In addition to some student reporters from the school magazine, there were also social media outlets that wanted to interview him.

Song Fengwan was basking in his light and sitting in front. Before his lecture started, she saw a familiar figure in the corridor, bending over to help the cameraman carry his equipment.

“Big Sister Yu?” Song Fengwan was a little surprised.

“Wanwan.” Although Yu Manxi was still a host, the popularity of the discussions online about her was no less than that of some celebrities. Today, everyone was here for Qiao Wangbei. She was afraid of attracting unnecessary discussions, so she covered herself up very tightly.

“Why are you here?”

“I want to interview your uncle. I’ve already done an episode about Old Master Qiao before. This time, I want to do an episode about the Jade Hall of Spring, so I came specially to collect materials.”

“You want to interview my uncle too?”

“It’s most likely impossible. I just came to listen to the lecture and take a few photos before leaving,” Yu Manxi said with a smile.

Song Fengwan pursed her lips. “Why don’t I talk to my uncle after the lecture?”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself.”

“It’s alright.”

“Thank you,” Yu Manxi thanked her. “Then, I’ll go get busy first. I won’t disturb you from the lecture.”

Actually, Qiao Wangbei had rejected those media interviews mainly because those people saw that the Qiao family had become popular now, and they wanted to ride on this popularity.

They looked down on him when he was at a low point. And now that they were here, Qiao Wangbei naturally wouldn’t give them a good look.

When Song Fengwan mentioned Yu Manxi to him, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “The one hosting the All Beings show, Fu Sinian’s girlfriend?”

At the time, because she was wearing a Jade Hall of Spring bracelet, she had been scolded quite badly online. After the plagiarism incident, she had also broadcasted a special segment about Old Master Qiao immediately afterward. He had a deep impression of her.

“Yes, her.”

“Sure. If I don’t appear in the limelight, any other interview format will do.”

“Not in the limelight?”

“I just can’t expose my face.”

Song Fengwan was puzzled. Previously, at Gao Xue’s design exhibition, he had also appeared on camera. It wasn’t like people hadn’t seen him before. Why was he pretending to be shy now?

Later, she specially asked Qiao Xiyan, and he gave a few answers.

After the live broadcast, the entire internet gave him the following ratings:

[Very Fierce and Violent], [Scary Face], [Mad Qiao]

Most importantly, after Qiao Wangbei came back to watch the broadcast, he only said one sentence:

“Why am I so ugly on camera?!”

Qiao Xiyan was speechless. He had seen Qiao Wangbei locked up in the machine room before. He hadn’t taken a shower for more than half a month, and it had been raining heavily in Suzhou. His body was already smelly, let alone his hair.

Now, he was actually starting to care about his image.

Song Fengwan said, “So, Uncle doesn’t want to appear on camera because he thinks he’s ugly?”

Qiao Xiyan nodded. “Most likely. He’s been going to your school to give lectures recently and has been tidying himself up very energetically every day. He woke up early in the morning to do his hair. I’ve never seen him like this before.”

“Maybe…” Song Fengwan hesitated. “An old man dressing young?”

Qiao Xiyan vomited blood.?This girl probably wants to be beaten up by my dad!
