Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy Novel - Chapter 562
Chapter 562 Cousin Plays Tricks, Er’lang Suffers
Song Fengwan came out of the hospital and took Qian Jiang’s car straight to Yunjin Prime Manor.
As soon as she entered, she was pounced on by Fu Xinhan and almost knocked down. “Third Brother, has Fu Xinhan gained weight recently?”
“It’s getting warmer. He can start exercising now.” After Fu Chen finished speaking, Fu Xinhan whimpered and crawled to his nest.
Exercise?
This dog refuses.
I only want to eat meat, sleep, and flirt!
“Uncle Nian isn’t here?” Song Fengwan changed into slippers at the entryway skillfully, treating this place as her own home.
“He’s already asleep. How is Miss Tang?”
“She’s alright. When Cousin went over, I quickly slipped out. With his stubborn temper, he definitely won’t forgive me after knowing that Big Sister Tang and I conspired to deceive him.”
“Have you eaten?” Fu Chen frowned.
“No.”
“I’ll make you some noodles?”
Song Fengwan nodded and followed him into the kitchen. Only then did she notice a plate of qingtuans on the coffee table. “Hey, this…”
“Go try one.” Fu Chen had failed a few times. But today, they looked decent and tasted decent.
Fu Chen entered the kitchen while Song Fengwan picked up a qingtuan and took a bite. The taste was naturally different from the ones Yu Manxi had brought back last time, but it was still delicious. “Third Brother, you made them?”
The young lady leaned over and rubbed against his arm.
“How’s the taste?”
“Pretty good.”
“Just one is enough. We still have to eat.” Fu Chen knew simple home-cooked dishes now, and he was even more familiar with cutting ingredients than before.
Just as the two of them were about to say something intimate…
“Yo, what are you two doing?!” Duan Linbai was still wearing his daytime shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, and he had a pen in his mouth as he looked at the two of them leisurely.
Song Fengwan: “…”
Fu Chen reached out and rubbed her hair. “Why did you come down?”
“I’ve finished preparing the materials. Knowing that Little Sister-in-Law is here, I specially came to greet her.” Duan Linbai shrugged.
Duan Linbai had come here to discuss the opening of the new district with Fu Chen. There were some details that they needed to discuss. They were supposed to have done it at the company, but Fu Chen said that Song Fengwan was coming, so he changed the location to his house.
“Say, I’m still here. Don’t you two know how to restrain yourselves?”
“I forgot you were still here,” Fu Chen said bluntly.
“Tsk—” Duan Linbai held up a pen and shook his head helplessly.
While Fu Chen was cooking the noodles, Song Fengwan hid in the kitchen. When the food was ready, she braced herself and went out. Duan Linbai was eating a qingtuan and sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV.
“Hey, Third Fu, where did you buy these qingtuans from? The taste isn’t that good. Don’t buy this type next time. The shape and smell aren’t good either. The color and fragrance are off.”
Song Fengwan was embarrassed and awkward just now, but now, she couldn’t help laughing out loud.
“Are you done eating?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at a certain familiar someone.
“Almost.”
“Go home when you’re done eating.”
Duan Linbai was speechless. Didn’t I just interrupt them? Does he have to be so irritable?
“Little Sister-in-Law, is Miss Tang alright?” Duan Linbai moved closer to Song Fengwan.
“She’s fine.” Song Fengwan lowered her head and picked at the noodles. She felt guilty under Duan Linbai’s stare.
“How’s your uncle-master?”
“Pretty good.”
“I’m planning to visit them at the hospital tomorrow.” Song Fengwan was suspicious. Why is he going to the hospital again? Her second uncle-master had a good impression of Duan Linbai. The two of them had talked on the phone about their cooperation before, and it was all business. Duan Linbai had behaved very gentlemanly and polite, so Tang Wangjin had a good impression of him.
Uncle-Master already has a good impression of him. If he goes and shows his attentiveness and considerateness now, Uncle-Master might think randomly.
Song Fengwan was smart to begin with, so she could clearly see the undercurrents between Tang Jingci and her cousin. Why was Duan Linbai messing around at this time?
Tang Jingci might be her future cousin-in-law.
“Why are you going?”
“To visit the patient, of course. I’ll also gain a favorable impression.”
Song Fengwan almost choked on the noodles. Could he…
“The future of this business is very promising. I’ve already invested so much in Tang Jingci. F*ck, if I won’t even be able to get my money back because of He Xi, I’ll kill this damn woman!” Duan Linbai shouted.
“I’ve worked so hard to entertain her for so long and served her like she’s the God of Fortune.
“If this business falls through, I…”
Song Fengwan smiled awkwardly. “You’re really focused on money.”
“Of course. How can dating be as interesting as making money?!” Duan Linbai swung his legs.
Fu Chen sneered.
He knew Duan Linbai very well. He was stubborn. If he really fell for someone, he would probably shamelessly cling to them, and he would be able to do anything shameless.
After Song Fengwan finished eating, Fu Chen and Duan Linbai discussed some details of business cooperation in the study. Song Fengwan didn’t understand their discussion, so she went back to her room to take a shower and went to bed first. Her legs were sore and weak from volunteering for the past few days, so she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She didn’t even know when Fu Chen returned to his room.
Song Fengwan had morning class the next day and woke up early.
Fu Chen had just returned from walking the dog and buying her breakfast.
“What time were you busy until yesterday?” Song Fengwan asked while yawning.
“Around two.”
“So late? So he didn’t leave until late at night?” This person was naturally Duan Linbai.
“He slept here.”
“He’s not up yet?”
“He woke up a long time ago. He went out with me just now, bought breakfast, and went to the hospital to curry favor.”
Song Fengwan was stunned. He really went?
With how likable Big Brother Duan Linbai is, does Cousin still have a chance?!
***
At this moment, Beijing’s First People’s Hospital…
Yesterday, Tang Wangjin had accompanied Tang Jingci in the hospital. They were father and daughter, so Qiao Xiyan had no reason to stop Tang Wangjin from accompanying her by her bedside. Instead, if they were alone, people would criticize them.
Qiao Xiyan specially woke up early and bought breakfast. The door of the ward wasn’t closed.
Before reaching the door, he heard laughter inside, especially Tang Jingci’s voice.
He walked closer to take a look. Duan Linbai was actually here and chatting warmly with Tang Wangjin.
“Xiyan, you’re here. I was chatting with Linbai and forgot to remind you. Linbai brought breakfast. We’ve already eaten, so you’ve made a wasted trip.” Tang Wangjin smiled.
“It’s alright.” Qiao Xiyan put the breakfast aside. His gaze met Tang Jingci’s, and a certain someone looked away.
“I’m going to the bathroom.” Tang Jingci lifted the blanket with one hand and tried to get out of bed to put on her shoes.
Qiao Xiyan was close to her and placed her slippers at her feet. He lowered his voice and said, “You were smiling very happily just now. You’re in a good mood today.”
Tang Jingci lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him.
“Miss Tang will be discharged today. I’ll go find the doctor to check on her. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go through the discharge procedures.” Duan Linbai stood up and walked out.
“This child is really not bad…” Tang Wangjin was very satisfied with him.
“Yes, he’s also an internet celebrity,” Qiao Xiyan suddenly said.
“An internet celebrity?” Tang Wangjin was puzzled.
“You can take a look at the news about him.” Qiao Xiyan handed his phone over and motioned for him to use the search engine. Tang Wangjin used an overseas search engine, so there was very little information about Duan Linbai. But it was different in China…
This search was incredible. All the people who popped up were internet celebrities.
Is this the so-called internet celebrity? Tang Wangjin was speechless. From the looks of it, business cooperation is enough. I can’t hand my daughter over to him. He’s just like a playboy. He looks clean, but what kind of news is this…
He’s serious and responsible when working. But his private life is really indescribable.
Looks like I can’t find a son-in-law who’s too good-looking and knows how to talk too well. It’s better for him to be more reliable and honest.
Tang Jingci walked into the bathroom silently. The news is all fake. Duan Linbai is clearly not that kind of person. Senior Brother is so bad. He actually stabbed him in the back?
At this moment, Duan Linbai was running around the hospital happily, completely unaware that someone was tripping him up from behind.
After using the bathroom, Tang Jingci washed her hands and planned to go out, but Qiao Xiyan happened to be going in. “I’m going to pack your things for when you’re discharged,” he said bluntly. There was a faint smell of smoke on him. His phoenix eyes were long and slender, and the ends of his eyes were slightly curved. He lowered his eyes and stared at her. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, revealing an unrestrained aura.
He had eyes as deep as the sea, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
She used to think that Qiao Xiyan was a righteous person. But now, she felt that his eyes were teasing and…
… a little mischievous.
“Okay, thank you, Senior Brother.” Tang Jingci prepared to leave the bathroom.
“Little Junior Sister…
“Are you… my…” Qiao Xiyan smiled teasingly.
“N-no.”
Tang Jingci sat on the bed guiltily. Hearing the movement, Tang Wangjin looked up at her. Why is her face red when she only went to the bathroom?
