Fu Shihan knew full well that even if he really slipped up today and didn’t manage to dodge Su Bai’s punches, he shouldn’t fight back.
At most, he’d just go back to his room and hug Wanxin for a good cry, and that would be the end of it.
Lu Ci laughed at him for being a wimp; the two just stood on the balcony smoking and chatting, occasionally making so lewd jokes, and then thought about Huo Jingfan and the others.
They hadn’t gathered for a while; the company had been busy lately, and Lu Ci and Fu Shihan had to delegate many travel plans to others due to Wanxin and the others’ safety.
But this couldn’t go on forever; they needed to protect people and also get company matters done.
The two chatted for about an hour, roughly ca up with a plan, and then went upstairs to find people and rest.
Wanxin didn’t know that Fu Shihan had provoked Su Bai again that night and just cuddled up and slept after washing up. In the morning, she received a call from Qi Ran.
Qi Ran and the others had already booked their tickets and would be arriving over the next few days.
More and more people were gathering in Imperial Capital, and Su Yao received many calls daily inquiring about her engagent, making her inevitably nervous.
Wanxin sent the tis of Qi Ran’s arrival to Fu Shiyi, as she insisted that she must go to pick them up, and no one was allowed to take this task from her.
Wanxin didn’t know what got into her and had to comply.
Fu Shiyi noted the tis in her mo and managed to squeeze in a trip to the airport, awkwardly running into Su Bai again.
At the arrival gate, the two stared at each other.
Su Bai recalled those harsh words Fu Shihan said that night and frowned at the person before him.
"I... let state in advance, I’m really not trying to butter you up because I like you."
Fu Shiyi saw his reaction and quickly clarified.
"I’m only here for Wanwan."
"Alright, fine." Su Bai nodded, not saying anything more, just reminding, "When you see my mom later, don’t start calling her ’Mom,’ it’s really freaky."
"... I won’t! Thank you!"
That mistake would never be repeated!
Fu Shiyi firmly assured him, and their conversation ended, standing side by side until Qi Ran erged without saying another word.
Qi Ran was a bit surprised to see them co pick him up. He discreetly gave Su Bai a look, asking what was going on.
Su Bai couldn’t explain it, just smiled and shook his head.
Qi Ran narrowed his eyes slightly; he had previously received a call from Su Yu Yan, suspecting Su Bai and this girl from the Fu Family had so unspeakable relationship.
After getting in the car, Qi Ran observed quietly, noticing the two remained silent, feeling sothing was off.
Logically, coming together to pick soone up suggested a good relationship.
No need for constant chatter, but saying a couple of words wouldn’t be wrong, would it? Staying silent like this... was it to avoid slipping up sohow?
Qi Ran saw through it but said nothing, smiled at the window view.
Upon reaching Wanxin’s residence, after taking a look around, Fu Shiyi returned to work at the company; Qi Ran then grabbed Su Bai’s collar, pulling him into a room to question him.
"Mom, I’ve told you I have no relationship with Fu Shiyi!" Su Bai said, half-laughing and crying. "What’s with your stare? It’s making really uneasy!"
"Did I ask whether you and her have a relationship?" Qi Ran raised an eyebrow. "What I asked was, I heard you’ve recently gotten a girlfriend, didn’t say who that person is?"
"Can you stop trying to trick your son? I have no girlfriend, and I don’t like Fu Shiyi.
Let tell you, I wouldn’t like her even if she was the only one I could like, not for anything else, just because she’s Fu Shihan’s sister, she’s just not likable!"
