Chapter 376: Third Master: You Don’t Want to Be Responsible?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fu Sinian said, “My girlfriend.”
The living room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Yu Manxi was so shocked by him calling her his girlfriend that she almost suffocated. She came here today to talk to Fu Sinian about what had happened last night. But before she could speak, she became his girlfriend?
Did I agree?
Meanwhile, Song Fengwan was dumbfounded by him calling her Little Aunt, and her ears were slightly red.
Hearing the commotion outside, Fu Chen thought that the food had arrived. But when he opened the door and went out, he saw a man and two women in the living room, including his wife. The two women were red-faced and red-eared.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Chen walked out with a calm expression. What did this brat do to make my wife blush?
“Third Brother, this…” Song Fengwan hurried to Fu Chen’s side, not knowing how to explain the current situation.
Yu Manxi had eaten with Fu Chen before. At the time, she knew that he was Fu Sinian’s uncle, but she didn’t know that he was the famous Third Master Fu.
Previously, she had confirmed Fu Sinian’s identity, which was how she figured out who Fu Chen was. At this moment, seeing Fu Chen, she inexplicably felt nervous.
After all, the rumors about Fu Chen in the capital weren’t very good.
Her gaze swept past him and Song Fengwan casually.
Fu Chen looked to be in his mid-twenties. Although Song Fengwan was still a little childish, girls matured a little early after all. She was nestling up against him obediently. She initially thought this scene would be weird, but there was an indescribable sense of harmony.
“Third Master Fu,” she called softly.
Fu Chen nodded in response. He held Song Fengwan’s hand and squeezed it gently. “Miss Yu, are you here to look for Sinian?”
“Yes.” Yu Manxi lowered her head shyly, not knowing how to face these two.
Fu Sinian was also a person who wasn’t good with words. As the host, he wasn’t attending to the guests, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again…
“It must be the food.” Song Fengwan coughed twice and went to open the door.
…
Because they had ordered hotpot, there were a lot of things. Yu Manxi braced herself and went to help. Her fingertips accidentally touched the back of Fu Sinian’s hand. The back of his hand was warm, and she was so frightened that her fingers shrank back and almost dropped the food box in her hand.
“Be careful.” Fu Sinian calmly took the food box from her.
Yu Manxi only felt that his fingertips were scorching hot.
It felt as though a thin electric current had passed through his arm and went straight to her chest, making her heart beat wildly.
“You two eat. I’ll…” Fu Sinian had said that she was his girlfriend. Yu Manxi was in a daze and had yet to regain her senses.
“Everyone should stay and eat. There’s so much food. We won’t be able to finish it all. Is it because you have guests at home? Or do you have a date tonight?” Song Fengwan still wanted to ask her for an autograph. Besides, since the two of them were a couple, it wasn’t inappropriate to stay for dinner.
Before Yu Manxi could speak, Fu Sinian pulled out the seat beside him. “Sit.”
His tone was cold, and his attitude was domineering.
Yu Manxi had kissed him forcefully yesterday when she was drunk. She was feeling guilty and didn’t dare to disobey him, so she could only sit beside him.
Boiling hotpot required time. The four of them sat together, and the atmosphere was indescribably strange. Fu Chen opened a bottle of plum juice from the hotpot restaurant and motioned to Yu Manxi. “Do you want any?”
Yu Manxi was flattered. “I’ll do it.”
Fu Chen’s attitude was firm, so she could only hand him a cup. Fu Chen poured plum juice for her and Song Fengwan before looking at Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi mischievously. “Are you very familiar with each other? You went out to eat together last time. Why are you here this time?”
“We…” Yu Manxi was about to explain when Song Fengwan interrupted her.
“What do you mean very familiar? He just said that… they’re a couple. How can you act like this as his uncle?” She pressed against Fu Chen’s arm to tell him to stop spouting nonsense.
“When did you start dating?” Although the two of them had had intimate interactions before, Fu Sinian didn’t say that they were already in an official relationship. Fu Chen thought that based on Fu Sinian’s personality, the two of them might still be in an ambiguous stage, the kind that made people feel stuffy.
Actually, Fu Chen’s guess was right. The two of them had indeed been feeling stuffy the whole time.
Fu Chen was Fu Sinian’s uncle. Yu Manxi poked Fu Sinian under the table to tell him not to spout nonsense.
“Just now.” Fu Sinian took a sip of warm water with a calm expression.
“Congratulations,” Fu Chen said calmly.
“Thank you.”
Seeing that the hotpot soup was already boiling, Fu Chen added some mutton into it. “When are you bringing her home?”
“Depends on her schedule.”
…
Yu Manxi was completely stunned, feeling as if lightning had struck her. How did it involve going home to meet his parents?
Moreover, these two are talking among themselves. Have they asked for my opinion?
Her heart belonged to Fu Sinian, so she naturally wanted to progress further with him. But everything was happening too fast, catching her off guard.
“Third Uncle is asking you a question,” Fu Sinian reminded Yu Manxi. Why is she distracted?
“Huh?” Yu Manxi suddenly understood. “Third Master, what did you say?”
“My father’s birthday is in a few days. Miss Yu, are you free to come?” The Fu family hadn’t arranged blind dates for Fu Sinian recently, and they were all waiting for him to bring his girlfriend home.
Old Master Fu’s birthday? Yu Manxi was stunned. The Fu family members would definitely be here. She and Fu Sinian had just had their first kiss yesterday, and she was now about to see his parents. She hesitated. “Actually, my relationship with Mr. Fu hasn’t…”
Song Fengwan was texting her roommates when she heard this. She looked up in shock and looked at Fu Sinian.

What’s going on?
Fu Sinian’s wishful thinking?
Yu Manxi could feel the cold aura exuding from the man beside her. It was as if the surrounding air had instantly frozen, and it was suffocatingly oppressive. Halfway through her sentence, she bit her lip. If I embarrass him in front of his third uncle…
If he’s angry…
I’m afraid this ice-cold man won’t be easy to coax.
Seeing that the mushroom chicken soup at the side was already boiling, Fu Chen scooped a bowl for Song Fengwan with a ladle and then passed the ladle to Fu Sinian.
A certain someone followed suit and scooped a bowl for Yu Manxi.
“Thank you.” His thoughtfulness made her flustered.
“Miss Yu, do you think you’re meeting his parents too quickly? Or are you unwilling to admit your relationship with our Sinian?” Fu Chen, this sly old fox, saw through the crux of their relationship at a glance.
After all, he was his uncle, so he definitely had to help him at a time like this.
Yu Manxi held a spoon and carefully stirred the hot soup in front of her, not knowing how to answer.
“Our Sinian has a boring personality and doesn’t know how to talk. What made you unhappy?

“If he did something wrong, you can tell me directly. I’ll reprimand him.”
Song Fengwan lowered her head and drank the soup. When my Third Brother puts on airs, he really plays the role well.

“It has nothing to do with him,” Yu Manxi hurriedly explained. I’m the one who let Fu Sinian down.
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes at her. “Miss Yu, your neck…”
Only then did Yu Manxi notice that the silk scarf around her neck had loosened. Her face flushed red in embarrassment, and he hurriedly reached out to fix it.
“Sinian was too much yesterday.” Fu Chen looked at Fu Sinian, his tone slightly reproachful. He really couldn’t tell that he could bite someone’s neck like this when he was usually quiet and silent.
“Actually, yesterday…” Yu Manxi wanted to explain, but she didn’t know where to start.
“If he was too barbaric yesterday, I’ll get him to apologize to you.”
Fu Chen pressed down on her step by step. His tone was gentle and casual yet firm. Yu Manxi was forced into a corner by him and blurted out…
“I let him down last night. It has nothing to do with Mr. Fu. He was forced.”
Song Fengwan nearly choked. Forced herself on Fu Sinian? So fierce?
Sitting at the side, Fu Sinian didn’t speak the whole time. He knew very well that Yu Manxi and Fu Chen were confronting each other, but she wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage. His third uncle had dug a hole and waited for her to jump in.
She still…
… doesn’t know how scheming the man in front of her is.
He was very clear that Fu Chen wanted to help him, so he naturally stayed still and waited quietly.
Fu Chen looked at Yu Manxi calmly. “So, you were the one who slept with my nephew yesterday? You’re refusing to acknowledge it afterward and even denying your relationship with him?
1
“Miss Yu, my nephew has never been in a relationship before. He has always been a clean person. After you two got intimate, you don’t want to be responsible?
“Leaving after eating? That’s not very honest.”
Yu Manxi had always felt that although Fu Chen was younger than Fu Sinian, he was a gentleman and spoke objectively. He was also a good elder. Why…
“We didn’t do what you thought yesterday.”
“Did you sleep together?” Fu Chen asked.
Yu Manxi was silent. The sleep here isn’t the same as that sleep.
“In that case, since my nephew is willing to take responsibility, what are you dissatisfied about? If you really don’t like him and feel that you can’t be together in the future, just say it clearly. Don’t waste each other’s time.” Fu Chen calmly drank his water. “What we said just now was rude to you. I can apologize to you too.”
Song Fengwan sipped her soup.
Wasn’t Fu Chen deliberately forcing Yu Manxi? But judging from Yu Manxi’s reaction when she saw her appear at the door just now, she liked Fu Sinian too. The two of them were probably feeling too stuffy and needed them to help.
After a long silence…
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people opposite him. “Since you have feelings for each other, you should be serious about everything and talk things out.
“As your uncle, I’m deeply gratified that you two are happy.”
Song Fengwan suppressed her laughter. You’re clearly forcing her. Aren’t you embarrassed to say that?
“Don’t just sit there. Let’s eat,” Fu Chen said, and everyone moved their chopsticks.
After all, Fu Chen and Song Fengwan had been dating for a long time, so they naturally had their own way of interacting. Even if they didn’t talk, their interactions were still intimate and natural. On the other hand, the two people opposite them were always a little distant and unnatural.
“The laptop is ready. I’ve installed some commonly used software for you. You can try them later. Let me know if you have any questions.” Fu Sinian looked at Song Fengwan.
“Okay.”
“Hurry up and eat. I’ll send you back to school after.” Fu Chen picked up some meat for her.
Yu Manxi had yet to recover from Fu Chen’s ‘harsh interrogation’ and looked at Song Fengwan in shock. “Y-you’re still in school…”
“Yes, I’m just a first-year.”
With one look, it was obvious that the two of them had been dating for a long time. She’s only in her first year of university, but they’re already so intimate… Doesn’t this mean that they were already together when she was in high school…
Fu Sinian’s third uncle is really…
… impressive.
Her mind was full of their age difference. She thought that Song Fengwan looked young, but she didn’t expect her to be really young. What is this called…
Yu Manxi had always lived overseas in the past, so she couldn’t think of a good idiom to describe him. Words related to ‘old’ popped into her mind. Old but vigorous? Treasure knife yet to age? Wily old fox…

***
Fu Chen and Song Fengwan left at half past six. Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi sent them out.
While waiting for the elevator, Fu Chen motioned for Fu Sinian to follow him to the side. After making sure that the other two wouldn’t be able to hear their conversation, he stopped. “What’s going on between you and her? It’s already like this, but you still haven’t made your relationship clear?”
Fu Sinian didn’t deny it.
“The two of you should be interested in each other. You’re just too stuffy. This won’t do.
“There are some things that you can’t confirm just because you think you understand each other. You need to act on it.
“Don’t keep putting on airs. If you want to woo your wife, you have to be thick-skinned, especially when she likes you. Men should take the initiative.”
Fu Sinian was born as the eldest grandson of the Fu family. He was well-behaved and had an old-fashioned personality. If Fu Chen didn’t teach him, he would probably never understand what to do.
“Were you shameless when you wooed her?” Fu Sinian asked.

Fu Chen frowned. This brat still wants to attack me at a time like this?
“Third Brother, the elevator is here,” Song Fengwan reminded.
Fu Chen took a deep look at Fu Sinian. “As your uncle, I’ve already tried my best. It’s your own problem if you can’t woo her.
“Don’t wait until Wanwan and I get married and have children, but you’re still single.
“If you still can’t woo her under such circumstances, don’t go back. You will embarrass our Fu’s family.”
Fu Sinian’s lips twitched as he suddenly looked at Yu Manxi not far away.
Coincidentally, Yu Manxi was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and his eyes were solemn. Suddenly, a dangerous dark glint shot out and locked onto her firmly.
He looked as fierce as a wolf.
Yu Manxi felt a chill run down her spine, and an inexplicable chill spread throughout her body.. She had a bad feeling.
