Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy Novel - Chapter 646
Chapter 646: Sixth Master: Instead of Wooing Girls, You Went to Flirt with Fish?
Chuanbei Jing residence…
The word ‘matrimonial house’ made Sheng Aiyi a little dizzy. She hurriedly reached out to pat the person sleeping beside her.
“The show is over!” A certain big shot jumped up from the sofa.
“No. Hanchuan just said that he went to the matrimonial house. It’s the middle of the night, and the house hasn’t been renovated yet. There’s no furniture either. Why would he go there?
“Do you think Hanchuan wants to fall in love?”
“He suddenly wants to get married?”
A certain big shot yawned. Before he could speak, he saw Jing Hanchuan coming downstairs and taking a bottle of yogurt from the fridge.
He turned his head to look at his parents. “Do you want to know why I went to the matrimonial house?”
“Hanchuan, are you…” Sheng Aiyi looked concerned.
Actually, they were just like ordinary parents. When their son reached the age of marriage, the house and car had already been prepared. The matrimonial house had been arranged when he was an adult. The location was good, and it was in a school district.
The Jing family didn’t urge him to get married. But after hearing that Fu Chen was in a relationship, Sheng Aiyi naturally felt a sense of urgency.
“Are you really in a relationship?” A certain big shot was still in a daze.
Jing Hanchuan twisted the cap of the yellow peach yogurt bottle and walked upstairs while saying faintly, “I went to feed the fish.”
The Jing parents, who were left in the living room, looked at each other and almost died of anger.
It’s dark. Wouldn’t it be good to ask a young lady out to watch a movie and eat? Feed the fish?
Is there something wrong with this kid’s brain?
…
Sheng Aiyi’s interest was instantly doused by cold water. Her lips trembled. “Do you think Hanchuan is cold and has no interest in girls?
“Even someone who believes in Buddhism like Fu Chen knows to go out to get cabbage.
“There are so many beautiful young ladies outside. But instead of wooing them, he went to flirt with a few fish?”
A certain big shot yawned. “They’re all male fish too.”

“Shut up!” Sheng Aiyi was furious. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
During the time she had been back, she had also been wondering if she should introduce someone to Jing Hanchuan. She knew that Old Madam Fu was passionate about being a matchmaker, so she had asked indirectly, “Are there any good-looking young ladies that can live together with others?”
Old Madam Fu glanced at her. “For Hanchuan?”
“Is there anyone suitable?”
“Go overseas to find one. It’s too difficult domestically.”
Sheng Aiyi was dumbfounded. There was indeed something wrong with her family’s reputation, but this kind of thinking was already deeply rooted in the hearts of outsiders and couldn’t be changed at all.
When Sheng Aiyi thought of her son’s character, she felt that it was very likely he would die alone. She was so worried that she didn’t sleep the whole night.
But the people who followed Jing Hanchuan were standing in a corner of the living room with their heads lowered, not daring to speak.
Sixth Master really knows how to lie through his teeth. He clearly arranged to meet the lady boss of the dessert store, teased her, and even fooled her. He actually has the cheek to say that he went to feed the fish?
Doesn’t your conscience hurt from deceiving your parents like this?

Lingnan, Xu residence…
After Xu Yuanfei returned home, she was completely dumbfounded. She stared at the fish thoughtfully. They cost tens of thousands, but they don’t look anything special.
She sat in the living room for a while and saw her brother enter the house drunk.
“Big Sis, we helped bring Xu Yao back.” The person who helped him in was Xu Yao’s university classmate.
“Why did you drink so much?” Xu Yuanfei was helpless.
Xu Yao had just finished his thesis defense and was waiting to get his diploma. He had nothing to do all day, so he went out to eat and drink with his roommates. He said that it would be difficult to get together again in the future, so he had to cherish the present. His family didn’t worry about it.
When he entered society in the future, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to be as ostentatious and unbridled as he was now.
“Thank you.” Xu Yuanfei saw his classmate off before turning to look at the person lying on the sofa. “Drink less next time.”
Xu Yao licked the corner of his lips. Xu Yuanfei sighed and went to pour him a glass of water.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yao suddenly said, “Jing Hanchuan, you’re not a f*cking man!”
Xu Yao was really angry. He had specially chosen a day when the south wind blew to barbecue outside the Jing residence, but he didn’t manage to smoke this fellow out. Instead, his legs had been bitten by poisonous mosquitoes!
Xu Yuanfei’s fingers trembled, and she almost dropped the cup. She felt inexplicably guilty.
“Are you still from the twenty-first century? You either raise fish and fish all day or drink tea. Are you a retired old cadre? You even smiled so kindly at me. F*ck you!
“Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you’ve got something on me. I’m irreconcilable with you. Burp—”
“Have some water.” Xu Yuanfei coughed twice and passed the cup over.
“Big Sis, can you believe this kind of person actually has a girlfriend? The heavens are f*cking unfair. I don’t even have one!” Xu Yao suddenly turned his head and saw the fish tank at the side. He stumbled over, picked up the fish food, and threw it in.
The word ‘girlfriend’ made Xu Yuanfei dizzy. “Xu Yao, what did you just say?”
Xu Yuanfei didn’t even notice that her voice was trembling.
“What?” Xu Yao was drunk and delirious.
“You just said that Jing Hanchuan has a girlfriend!”
“Yes, I saw them hold hands before. This person deliberately showed off to me. They’re just rolling on the sheets. What does it have to do with me? Hmph—” Xu Yao continued feeding the goldfish.
Xu Yuanfei was utterly dumbfounded.
Jing Hanchuan wasn’t the kind of person who would lie. Moreover, he didn’t know his identity, so there was no need for him to lie to her brother…
Xu Yao wouldn’t lie either.
Xu Yuanfei returned to her room in a daze, her mind blank. She tried to find some clues from Jing Hanchuan’s Moments, but his Moments only displayed things within the last three days, and it was blank.
Her mind was also blank…
They just had a store-owner and customer relationship, so she had no right to ask anything. Her heart ached, and she couldn’t sleep all night. The TV was on, but she didn’t know what was playing…
The next day…
Xu Yuanfei was worried that her family would notice something amiss, so she even pretended to smile and went downstairs for breakfast…
When she reached the living room, she was dumbfounded!
Jing Hanchuan had originally given her seven goldfish, but two of them had died. Now, there were four more white bellies upside down?
After one night, there was only one left.
Were they poisoned?
The Xu family members were fishing out the fish and preparing to throw them away.
“What happened? Why are they dead again?”
“We don’t know either. They were like this since we woke up this morning.”
Only then did Xu Yuanfei remember that when Xu Yao came back last night, he had sprawled here and fed the fish. She looked at the fish food and saw that he had thrown half of it in. It would be strange if the fish didn’t burst.
At this moment, Xu Yuanfei’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Jing Hanchuan.
[Routine spot check. Take a photo of the fish for me.]
Xu Yuanfei was completely dumbfounded. It was early in the morning, so she couldn’t find substitutes even if she wanted to. She could only bite the bullet and take a photo…
Jing Hanchuan was eating breakfast at the time. When he saw the photo, there was only one fish left in the fish tank. It was lying at the bottom of the fish tank, barely breathing. From the looks of it, it wouldn’t live long.
[Sorry, there’s only one left.]
Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. [Take responsibility!]
Xu Yuanfei was a little confused. She hadn’t slept all night, and a few more fish worth tens of thousands of yuan had died. Her consciousness was a mess, so she didn’t notice the mistake in his words at all.
He had given her the fish. Actually, whether they lived or died had nothing to do with Jing Hanchuan anymore. But she actually replied in a daze: [How can I take responsibility? I’ll pay you back.]
Xu Yuanfei thought in her heart that since Jing Hanchuan had a girlfriend, she still had to maintain a distance. It was immoral to snatch someone else’s boyfriend.
For Jing Hanchuan to take the initiative to hold her hand, he probably really likes her.
[Should I transfer money to you on WeChat?]
Jing Hanchuan rubbed his phone and kept feeling that her words were very strange today. [I happen to be going to the bird and flower market. You can just compensate me for my fish directly. I’ll wait for you on Suzhou Road at nine.]
Xu Yuanfei was a little astonished. When she sent him another message, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. She looked at her watch. Half past seven…
She suddenly remembered that she hadn’t slept all night and had dark circles under her eyes. She ran back to her room.

Chuanbei Jing residence…
After eating breakfast, Jing Hanchuan returned to his room to change his clothes.
Sheng Aiyi was exercising her throat in the courtyard, wearing a peach blossom-colored costume and waving her sleeves.
“Sixth Master?” The Jing family members were surprised. Jing Hanchuan rarely went out early in the morning.
“Prepare the car. I’m going to Suzhou Road.”
“Hanchuan!” Sheng Aiyi was surprised. “Why are you going to Suzhou Road?” There was an administrative center there, and the Civil Affairs Bureau was also there. She immediately became interested and hoped to hear something different from him.
“There’s a new flower and bird market there.” Jing Hanchuan dismissed her wishful thoughts.
“Do you have to dress so neatly to go to a bird and flower market?” Besides…
He actually went back to his room to wash his hair early in the morning!
Was this necessary to look at fish?
