Chapter 794: Third Master Is Too Straightforward: You Want to Woo Him? Go Ahead

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jing Hanchuan and Xu Yuanfei had completed their first date. That night, the two of them held their phones and chatted until two in the morning before going to bed.

If it wasn’t too late, she might not have felt sleepy even when the sky turned bright and sunny.

After the two of them said goodnight to each other, Xu Yuanfei even flipped through their chat history from beginning to end while smiling like a fool.

This also caused Xu Yuanfei to wake up still sleepy at around ten the next day. She picked up her phone and saw Fu Chen’s message. Only then did she suddenly remember that she had arranged to meet him at her store at half past ten.

About ten minutes ago, Fu Chen had messaged her: [I’ve already set off. I’ll arrive at around ten-thirty.]

She washed up quickly, put on her hat, and drove straight to the dessert shop.

Even though there was barely any traffic, Fu Chen was already there when she arrived at the store. The part-time student-workers had made him a cup of green tea. He was sitting by the window with his head lowered, flipping through a book. The teacup and Buddhist prayer bead bracelet beside his hand made him look elegant and refined.

The part-time workers secretly took a few photos with their phones, feeling excited. After all, when he and Song Fengwan made their relationship public, it had caused too much of a commotion.

“Third Master, I’m sorry.” Xu Yuanfei walked over and sat opposite him. “I was delayed by something.

“I’m really sorry for making you wait so long.

“Something happened at the last minute, so…”

Fu Chen looked up and sized her up. “You must have slept in.”

Xu Yuanfei was already embarrassed and wanted to find a random reason to explain herself. She didn’t expect this person to be so straightforward. He wasn’t like this when he was with Song Fengwan. He had always been gentle, refined, ascetic, and cold.

Who knew that he was such a vicious-tongued person in private?

Did she not want her face?!

“You have dark circles under your eyes, and there are even traces of a pillow on your face.” Fu Chen also wanted to save her some face, but her lie was too nonsensical.

Shi Fang’s seat was only two tables away from the two of them. Seeing Fu Chen being so straightforward, he couldn’t help smirking.

She is Sixth Master’s future wife. Doesn’t she want her face? Aren’t you afraid that Sixth Master will find out and take revenge on you for bullying her like this?

You can’t mess with Sixth Master enough, so you came to bully his wife?

Xu Yuanfei coughed twice. “Let’s get down to business. When did you find out my identity?”

“It was just a guess before. I only confirmed it yesterday.”

Yesterday? Only then did Xu Yuanfei remember the text message. She felt inexplicably upset.

Could it be that Fu Chen was not only warning me but also probing the truth?

It’s said that Third Master Fu is good at calculating people’s thoughts. This saying is absolutely true.

“Third Master, you’re really impressive.” Xu Yuanfei’s words were not sour.

“Thank you.” Fu Chen accepted it with a clear conscience.

“Since you know my identity, do you want to tell Sixth Master?

“Actually, I don’t have any ill will toward him, nor do I want to retaliate against him. I just don’t know how to interact with him. Actually, the relationship between our families is quite subtle.

“I just…”

Fu Chen put down the book and looked up at her. His black pupils seemed to have a scorching light. “You just want to woo him, right?!”

Xu Yuanfei was still mulling over her words carefully. She didn’t expect Fu Chen to be so simple and crude, so straightforward that it made her hair stand on end.

But there was nothing wrong with what he said.

“But your relationship can’t be hidden for long. The Beijing circle is only so big. If either of your families notice anything, you won’t be able to hide it.”

Fu Chen reminded kindly, “Your father and brother are very hostile to Hanchuan. I’m afraid it will be very troublesome.

“You have to consider this matter yourself. Hanchuan trusts you now, so he didn’t investigate further.”

The capital wasn’t a small place, and the surname Xu was very common. Moreover, the Xu family was really low-key, so they didn’t attract much attention.

Xu Yuanfei originally thought that the conversation with Fu Chen would be very difficult. She didn’t expect that when Fu Chen spoke, he didn’t ask her why she had come into contact with Jing Hanchuan, nor was he on guard against her. Instead, he kindly reminded her.

She thought that Fu Chen was a good person.

But in just ten minutes, her face would be swollen.

“I also know how serious this matter is. Tell me. If I make it clear with him, what will he think?” Xu Yuanfei was uncertain. “Our relationship is different from yours and Wanwan’s. We’re just a store owner and a customer or friends. If he doesn’t want to interact with me, I can’t get close to him either.”

“Are you afraid that he’ll be scared away?” Fu Chen lowered his head and chuckled.

Xu Yuanfei nodded.

“You’ve known Hanchuan for a while. Do you think he’s that kind of person?”

“No, but I’m not sure what he thinks of our Xu family, or rather, what he thinks of me.”

Fu Chen knew what she was worried about. “Do you want to hear my opinion?”

“Yes.”

“Since you like him, there’s no need to be overly cautious. You just have to look at him alone.” Fu Chen took a sip of tea.

“Actually, the relationship between your two families is because of you two. If you two get together, there will be no need to consider many things.

“Besides, according to my understanding of Hanchuan, he’s very interested in you.”

“What did you say?” Xu Yuanfei was listening attentively when she suddenly seemed to hear something incredible.

“Since you dared to get so close to him, you must have done some investigation on him. Yesterday was the first time he went out alone with someone of the opposite sex his own age other than his relatives. Do you know what I mean?

“He’s not someone who will leave people with fantasies casually.

“No one dares to approach him casually either.

“As time passed, his relationship matters were delayed.” At this point, Fu Chen suddenly smiled and looked at the person opposite him. “I really don’t know why someone like Hanchuan, who lives in seclusion, has so many bad rumors in the capital.

“They say that I look kind on the outside but am ruthless on the inside. That’s because in the business world, there are times when my methods are really ruthless. I accept this. But I really don’t know how those rumors about Hanchuan killing people like flies or how his destiny would suppress his wife’s spread.

“Your Xu family is well-informed. Miss Xu, do you know the whole story? Even the Jing family can’t find out. It’s obvious that this person hid it very well.”

Xu Yuanfei coughed. Her voice was a little unsteady, as if she had no confidence. “The rumors are all fake. How can we believe them?”

“If Hanchuan is really as scary as the rumors say, how would you dare to approach him? In that case, you must really love him.” Fu Chen’s words were obviously a little mocking.

“Hanchuan once told me that if he found the person who spread the rumors, it would be a light punishment to feed them to the fish in his pond. He would just execute them on the spot. Even if he hung them up and beat them, it wouldn’t be enough to vent his anger.”

Cough cough! Xu Yuanfei suddenly felt that she couldn’t sit still on the chair anymore, and her entire body started feeling uncomfortable.

She felt a chill run down her spine.

She couldn’t hear what Fu Chen said afterward clearly. She felt a little dizzy, but she remembered one sentence very clearly.

“If you like him, you don’t have to be afraid at all. As long as he has you in his heart and thinks you’re worth it, he’s willing to go through mountains of knives and seas of fire regardless of the dangers ahead.

“He’s willing to do this for his brothers, not to mention…

“… the person he loves.”

Xu Yuanfei was hesitating in her heart, but Fu Chen’s words were unintentionally a stimulant, instantly calming her down.

What he said made sense. The two of them hadn’t even started dating yet, yet she was already being overly cautious. There was no need for her to do so at all. She just had to look forward. In the future, she would deal with whatever came their way.

After Fu Chen got into the car and left, Shi Fang still felt that it was strange.

How could Third Master be so kind?

Although he was a Buddhist, he didn’t have a good heart. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was full of evil tricks.

“Third Master, are you trying to matchmake Sixth Master and Miss Xu?”

When did Third Master become interested in being a matchmaker?

“It’s useless for me to matchmake them. They have to like each other.” Fu Chen had only helped them a little. No one could help entirely with relationships.

“If Sixth Master finds out what you did for him in the future, he will definitely be very grateful.”

Fu Chen smiled and didn’t say anything. Instead, he sent Xu Yuanfei a message.

At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was still grateful to Fu Chen and felt that he was a good person.

But when she saw the message, her face felt as if it had been slapped, and it was burning with pain.

[I plan to get engaged to Wanwan next year. Miss Xu, I’ll leave the desserts to you on that day. Please do your best.]

Xu Yuanfei was dumbfounded. Did I say I would be responsible for the desserts for their engagement?

Last time, at Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi’s wedding, she had been so busy. After the wedding reception, many people thought that the desserts were delicious and asked her to host some banquets, but she rejected all of them. Fu Chen knew very well that her website had directly made an announcement that they wouldn’t be accepting large-scale banquets.

Isn’t Fu Chen…

… digging a hole for me to jump into?

He helped me and even helped me keep my secret. I can’t reject him!

Third Master Fu is too evil.

Moreover, according to what she knew, he and Song Fengwan hadn’t set an engagement date at all. He was too anxious and actually booked her early.

No wonder that little girl Song Fengwan is completely under his thumb. This man is too good at causing trouble.

But later, Xu Yuanfei also found out that Jing Hanchuan was also good at causing trouble.
