Chapter 383: Old Man Shows Off Their Affection, Outwardly Cold But Inwardly Passionate As Well
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fu Chen bought some fruits at the fruit supermarket at the entrance of the community before going upstairs with Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian felt a little helpless. You’re sending fruits to my door, yet you want me to bring them up?
I’m at least half the host.
After Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi started dating, they had exchanged the passwords of their doors. He entered the password directly and opened the door to enter her condo. Hearing the commotion, Yu Manxi knew that they were here.
“Third Brother~” Song Fengwan rushed out and hugged Fu Chen’s arm.
They usually had to hide their relationship, so they always restrained themselves a little. They didn’t need to hide anything when they were here. Fu Sinian was bending down to change his shoes when he saw Fu Chen lean over and peck her lips from the corner of his eye.
Song Fengwan smiled and kissed him back.
Their actions were familiar and intimate.
“Third Master, you’re here.” Yu Manxi came out of the kitchen and pointed at a pair of slippers near the door. “We don’t have slippers at home. I brought them from Mr. Fu’s. They should be yours.”
“Okay.” Fu Chen had always been gentle and distant to others. “Thank you.”
“Sit on the sofa for a while. You’ll be able to eat soon.” Yu Manxi looked at Fu Sinian with a stunned expression. “You bought fruits?”
After interacting with Fu Sinian for a while, she knew his living habits. He was nocturnal, had an irregular diet, drank coffee every day, and rarely ate fruits.
“Third Uncle bought them.”
“Third Master, you’re too polite.” Yu Manxi’s expression instantly changed to a fawning smile.
Fu Sinian frowned. She looked like she just saw a ghost, and now she’s smiling from ear to ear. Can’t I buy fruits?
“Third Brother, do you want to watch a movie tomorrow afternoon? There’s a new movie recently, and the reviews are pretty good…”
“Okay, I’ll book tickets.”
“Aren’t you busy recently? Are you free tomorrow?” It was Old Master Fu’s birthday soon, and Fu Chen was obviously busier than usual.
“I still have time for a date with you.”
…
The two of them chatted warmly and intimately. Fu Sinian looked at Yu Manxi again. She had already brought the fruits into the kitchen and hadn’t greeted him the whole time.
She clearly wasn’t like this before.
Before, every time I came to her place, she was enthusiastic and nervous. After we established our relationship, she became unwilling to greet me.
Does she no longer cherish me after she got me?
Fu Sinian changed his shoes, took off his coat, and followed her into the kitchen.
“Wash the fruits and bring them out,” Yu Manxi directly instructed him to help without saying anything else.
Fu Sinian didn’t say anything. He quietly took out some fruits from the bag and started washing them.
“Your third uncle and Wanwan have such a good relationship.” Yu Manxi glanced at the living room from time to time. The two of them were chatting in front of her photo wall, seeming to be talking about which country was fun.
“When I first met your third uncle, I felt that he was gentle and gentlemanly, but he also made me feel that he was very distant, that he wasn’t the kind of person easy to get close to.
“I didn’t expect him to get along with his girlfriend no different from an ordinary couple.”
“The old man is outwardly cold but inwardly passionate,” Fu Sinian said. “He usually pretends well.”
Yu Manxi laughed out loud. “He’s old. Aren’t you a few years older than him? Aren’t you…”
… outwardly cold but inwardly passionate as well?
She swallowed her words halfway through because Fu Sinian’s expression was already exceptionally ugly.
In the past, she always cared about her image and considered her words carefully in front of me. After interacting with me for a long time, she can really say anything now.
“I was just talking nonsense. Quickly wash the fruits and bring them out.” Yu Manxi lowered her head and cut the vegetables, trying her best to reduce her presence.
“Yu Manxi…” Fu Sinian walked to her side.
“Yes?”
“Why didn’t you do that with me when I entered?”
“Do what?” Yu Manxi looked up at him.
She had no idea what Fu Sinian was talking about.
“This…” Fu Sinian leaned over and pecked her mouth. Because he didn’t control his strength well, there was a loud sound, making Yu Manxi’s heart tremble.
Her face flushed red.
Fortunately, the buzzing of the kitchen’s hood drowned out the sound.
“I see…” She pursed her lips and tugged at her apron uneasily.
“Understood?”
“Okay.”
“Then do it once,” Fu Sinian said very seriously, as if he was tutoring a child to do homework. If he only taught her once, she would have to learn it again.
“I…” Yu Manxi turned her head and looked at the living room. “There are still guests at home.”
“They’re family, not guests.”
She was the only person he could see. He stared at her nakedly without moving for a moment. This person was sometimes very stubborn and determined. Yu Manxi had no choice but to stand on her tiptoes, reach out to grab his collar, and kiss his lips lightly.
Fu Sinian took a deep breath, stretched out his arms to hug her waist tightly, and pulled her into his embrace.
“You…” Yu Manxi was afraid that the two people outside would see them. She had never been so intimate with anyone in front of outsiders. Moreover, they were elders sitting outside.
“My parents will come back next week. When are you free?”
Yu Manxi was so nervous that she was breathing heavily. This was the first time she would be seeing his parents. Moreover, the two of them hadn’t been together for long, so she was also afraid. Besides, his father seemed to be an extremely serious person.
“I can whenever. It depends on Uncle and Auntie’s schedule.”
“They said that you’re busy with work and that they’ll accommodate you.”
“Then arrange it.”
Fu Sinian nodded, but Yu Manxi became nervous for some reason. When she was plating the dishes, she almost scalded her hand with the soup.
“… Why are you so distracted?” Song Fengwan entered the kitchen to help.
“It’s nothing.” After all, the Fu family wasn’t an ordinary family. If his parents didn’t like her, what should she do? What should she do when meeting his parents? What should she bring? No one could give her any advice.

When they got to the dining table, the two men were chatting. When they talked about Old Master Fu’s birthday, they naturally mentioned when the Fu family members would arrive. “When will Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-Law arrive in the capital?”
“Next week.”
“You want to see your parents?” When Fu Chen said this, Yu Manxi was so nervous that she almost dropped a dish.
Fu Sinian nodded.
“Miss Yu, you don’t have to be too nervous. My eldest brother looks a little cold, and you don’t have to consider his opinion at all. Just get along well with my sister-in-law. He doesn’t have any say at home.”
Song Fengwan tilted her head and looked at Fu Chen. Is it really good to say that about your eldest brother?
“My sister-in-law has a gentle personality and is easy to get along with.”
Yu Manxi nodded resentfully. You’re her brother-in-law, so she naturally treats you well. But I’m different.
“Is your uncle coming to my father’s birthday banquet?” Fu Chen changed the topic.
“Yes, Uncle and Cousin are both coming, and Uncle Yan will come too. I’ll also join in the fun.” Song Fengwan hadn’t seen her uncle for a while, so she was naturally happy to have relatives coming to the capital.
Fu Chen wasn’t happy about it. As long as these two came, he couldn’t meet Song Fengwan so frequently and had to hide.
***
As Old Master Fu’s birthday approached, the entire capital seemed to be bustling. If they could receive an invitation from the Fu family, it would definitely be a supreme honor.
The design competition held by Song Fengwan’s school club was held ahead of time. She was busy drawing design drafts, while Yu Manxi was preparing for the exam for her hosting license.
The two men of the Fu family were bustling about. When they had time to spare from preparing the birthday banquet, they would go to the Jing residence.
Fu Chen was fine. He came here to hide from the people who came to give gifts. When Jing Hanchuan went fishing, he sat by the side and read Buddhist scriptures, not disturbing each other. Until Fu Sinian came…
He was also carrying a cat in his arms.
This cat was a little gluttonous and lazy. Its body was very fat, and it even walked a little horizontally.
“Where did this cat come from?” Jing Hanchuan frowned.
“She’s raising it. She’s been busy studying for her exam recently, so I’m taking care of it. It’s well-behaved and only likes to sleep.”
Jing Hanchuan sized up this plump cat. With this figure, it shouldn’t be able to jump onto his table or touch his fish tank.
“What is its name?”
“Yu Zhaocai,” Fu Sinian said self-righteously.
Fu Chen had been to Yu Manxi’s condo before and knew that this cat was called Niannian. He coughed lightly but didn’t say anything.
“This name…” Jing Hanchuan rubbed his chin. “It’s very down-to-earth.”
The three of them sat outside for a while and then went inside to drink tea and chat. The cat was originally sleeping on Fu Sinian’s lap, but it had jumped down at some point. When they noticed it again, they only heard a plop.
The cat fell into the fish tank.
When the cat was pulled out, it still had a goldfish in its mouth. It almost drowned, but it refused to let go.
The people of the Jing family were scared out of their wits. These fish weren’t any expensive breed, but they were all Sixth Master’s treasures. They were all raised as his own sons. He fed them twice a day and took good care of them. Why did it jump in?
Fu Sinian wiped the cat’s body with a towel, feeling a little helpless.
When such a fat body jumped in, the water rose and the fish flooded out.
“Meow~” Niannian suddenly smelled a sweet scent. It jumped away from Fu Sinian’s leg and rubbed against Jing Hanchuan’s leg.
He was fond of sweets and had a pleasant fragrance on him.
“Do you want to eat it?” Jing Hanchuan pinched the coconut cake.
Niannian shrank at his feet again and rubbed against him, trying to please him to get food. Jing Hanchuan was unmoved. In his eyes, this cat was just a little bastard who had almost eaten his son.
It’s not as cute as Fu Xinhan.. I’ll get Fu Chen to bring the dog over another day and scare this fat cat to death.
