After eating, Yu Manxi cleaned up the table and left the task of washing the dishes to Fu Sinian.
After becoming an adult, he had moved out to live alone. He didn’t know how to cook, but he had no problem washing dishes and cleaning.
Song Fengwan was sitting on the sofa and playing a WeChat game called [Jump & Jump].
“You play this too?” Yu Manxi sat down beside her.
“Your score is so high.” Song Fengwan and Yu Manxi had long added each other as friends, so Yu Manxi could see her ranking. “How is your score so high?”
Song Fengwan bit her lip, feeling a little annoyed. Why do I keep dying?
“Heh, I’ve already given up on this game.” Yu Manxi harrumphed softly. “After my exam, I occasionally played some games to relax. That day, he was working, so I played by the side the whole night…
“He sat beside me and drew me a picture.”
“What picture?” Song Fengwan was curious.
“What picture? He made a math function of the jump time and distance, comparing the range and the height, did a bunch of mathematical operations, and finally used the acceleration of gravity. In the end, he gave a graph and a formula.
“I already got some feeling on how to play, but after seeing this, I quit.”
Song Fengwan was stunned. She glanced at the IT man washing the dishes in the kitchen from the corner of her eye.
“I just played the game to relax. Is there a need to be so tired?”
“Is this formula easy to use?” Song Fengwan was curious.
“It’s very useful, but the fun of playing the game disappears.” Yu Manxi shrugged. “Sit for a while. I’ll cut some fruits for you.”
Song Fengwan bit her lip. “The world of brainiacs is too crazy.”
“Is it delicious?” Fu Chen sat beside her.
Song Fengwan turned her head, looking confused. What is delicious?
“I keep seeing you bite something…”
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Chen’s good-looking face leaned over.
He frowned and lowered his gaze. His eyes landed on her biting her lower lip, and his voice slid to the lowest pitch, low and ambiguous. “I’ll try it.”
Before Song Fengwan could react, he was sucking her lower lip.
She had just eaten some hot pot, so her lips were still spicy.
He held her thin and hot lip in his mouth and bit lightly. The corners of his eyes curled up slightly, and his voice was gentle. “Delicious.”
Fu Chen kissed her lips, and his voice was deep. Song Fengwan reached out to push him away. After all, this was someone else’s place. But Fu Chen grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertips.
“What are you afraid of? Those two are busy and won’t come.”
His lips were moist and hot. Her fingertips were sensitive to begin with, and mixed with his low and seductive voice, something directly hit her heart. Her blood vessels were throbbing, and her blood was surging, attacking her heart strongly.
Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi were talking in low voices, and it seemed they wouldn’t be coming out anytime soon.
Fu Chen pressed Song Fengwan against the back of the sofa. The moment his hot breath blew past her chin, his soft lips pressed against hers.
As though a dragonfly touching the water, it was light and gentle, but it also had the potential to stir lightning and fire.
After Yan Wangchuan came over, as long as he was free, he would definitely take Song Fengwan out for meals. Their time together and the number of times they could meet would become greatly reduced.
When Yu Manxi walked out of the kitchen, Fu Chen and Song Fengwan were sitting on the sofa.
But the young lady’s face was blushing, and her lips were red and swollen.
“Wanwan, I see that you’ve always wanted to learn how to cook. Why don’t I teach you? Anyway, there’s still a long time until dinner. Simple dishes aren’t difficult.”
Fu Sinian’s face instantly collapsed. “You want to teach her how to cook?”
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re brave.”
Yu Manxi was dumbfounded. What’s so difficult about learning a simple stir-fry? What’s brave about it?
Song Fengwan already had this thought. After Yu Manxi invited her, she readily agreed.
Around four in the afternoon, the two of them entered the kitchen.
Fu Chen stood up. “Sinian, go to your place to sit?”
It might be very dangerous here.
Fu Sinian nodded.
***
Song Fengwan had never specially learned to cook before. Just by looking at her holding the knife, Yu Manxi was startled.
Is this cutting vegetables?
This is the typical posture of someone wanting to chop someone.
Even when Song Fengwan cut vegetables, Yu Manxi was frightened, afraid that she would cut her hands. When she added oil into the pan and almost ruined the pan, Yu Manxi finally knew why Fu Sinian said that she was brave.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
“Wanwan, don’t move before I come back.” After reminding her, Yu Manxi hurriedly ran to open the door.
She thought that Fu Chen came from the opposite condo. After all, he didn’t have her condo’s password, so she didn’t think much about it and opened the door.
When she saw the two women at the door, her pupils dilated slightly. There were two people in black standing behind them.
The two people outside were also carefully sizing up Yu Manxi. She was wearing the simplest black leggings and black shirt. Her beautiful and slender peach blossom eyes were emotionless, clear, and bright.
One of the two people outside the door was only in her twenties. She was wearing a soft silk dress and a beautiful and stylish designer trench coat. She looked gentle and elegant. After living like a princess for so many years, she had learned the four arts, making her look exceptionally elegant and dignified.
“Why are you here?” Yu Manxi spoke to them coldly, politely, and distantly.
“Aren’t you going to invite us in?” the woman standing at the front asked.
She was Yu Manxi’s biological mother, Zou Li. And the person beside her was the eldest daughter of the He family—
He Shiqing.
“Please come in.” Yu Manxi stepped aside and let the two in.
When Zou Li entered the condo, she sized it up carefully. She smelled a burnt smell coming from the kitchen and frowned slightly. “You’re not even coming home after returning to China?
“You would rather live here? We have plenty of houses. Why did you find such a place?
“You and Ning Fan even made such an ambiguous fuss. If others find out that a daughter of our He family lives outside, they will definitely point fingers at us.”
Zou Li had been putting on airs from beginning to end. Although they were mother and daughter, there was no warmth to speak of.
In her eyes, Yu Manxi was just a jinx, and she only cared about He Shiqing. How could she remember that she had a daughter she had abandoned in the countryside and left to her own fate?
When Yu Manxi first entered the He family, He Shiqing had insisted on eating western food. The He family’s chef had cooked steak, but she didn’t even know how to use a knife and fork.
She had been illiterate and didn’t even know how to write her name. She had been ridiculed by many people. Even the servants of the He family said that she was a ‘barbarian’ who had been corrupted by the environment and that it was useless to pamper her.
In the countryside, she had only used a face cream worth a few cents that came in plastic bags. How could she know anything about moisturizer? Because of this, people made many jokes about her.
Her skin was dark and rough, and she looked rustic and unkempt. When she first entered the He residence, she was barefoot because her mother said:
“Your shoes are too dirty.”
Yu Manxi pulled back her thoughts and looked at the mother and daughter of the He family standing at the entrance. “Didn’t you say that I don’t deserve the surname He?
“So I haven’t used this name until now, for fear of embarrassing you again.
“Don’t worry. I will never say who I am or who my family members are. I won’t let anyone point fingers at you. If there’s nothing important, I still have guests at home, so I can’t entertain you.”
Yu Manxi had no feelings for them either. When she was young, she had felt aggrieved and desperate. After being away for so many years, she had long gotten over it.
When she faced them again, although her heart was undulating, she could still remain calm on the surface.
“I’m your mother. If you don’t visit me, I will come to see you. But you’re chasing me away as soon as I enter your place? What kind of guests are you entertaining? Are you so ostentatious?” Zou Li held her bag and prepared to walk in.
She almost bumped into Song Fengwan rushing out of the kitchen.
Song Fengwan originally thought that Fu Chen was here. But when she heard the sound of high heels, she thought that she was Yu Manxi’s friend and wanted to go out to greet her.
But after listening carefully, she realized that their conversation wasn’t like that.
The woman was arrogant, and she talked about being embarrassed. She was clearly here to cause trouble on purpose. She lowered her head to cut the vegetables, but she couldn’t take it anymore and rushed out.
Before Zou Li could see Song Fengwan, she saw the light slide across the blade.
A glaring white light flashed past her eyes, making her eyes hurt.
“Ahh!” Zou Li subconsciously retreated. Thankfully, He Shiqing held her in time. “Mom, be careful.”
Only then did Song Fengwan seem to realize that she was still holding a knife in her hand. “Sorry, I’m cooking.”
The He mother and daughter sized Song Fengwan up. Her long hair was tied up, and she was wearing an apron. She indeed looked like she was cooking.
“I just learned how to cook, so I’m a little unfamiliar with it. I must have scared you. I’m sorry.” Song Fengwan apologized sincerely, as if she really didn’t bring the knife out on purpose.
But who would hold the handle of a knife when cutting vegetables?
She clearly wanted to kill someone.
