Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy

to my house for a meal.
I will personally cook it.” Qiao Aiyun had an extremely good impression of Fu Chen.

“Then, I definitely have to go.” Fu Chen smiled.

“If you have time, you can come to Suzhou to play.
I will entertain you personally.” Qiao Wangbei raised his glass too.
His enthusiasm was completely different from the fierceness he had shown when dealing with Fu Yuxiu earlier.

“I’ll go when I have time.” Fu Chen couldn’t wait to get closer to the Qiao family.

Song Fengwan leaned her chin on her hand and looked at Fu Chen. He’s really good at pretending.

After the three of them sat down, Fu Chen said lightly, “By the way, Aunt Yun, why don’t I see Mr.
Yan?”

Qiao Aiyun smiled.
“He went back to Nanjiang.
He should be home now.”

“Should?” Fu Chen smiled.
“Didn’t he tell you when he got home?”

“We spoke on the phone once when he got off the plane.”

“Really?” Fu Chen just smiled.

Although Qiao Aiyun wasn’t clingy like a young girl, their relationship had just been established, and it was supposed to be the time for Yan Wangchuan to work harder.
He should have arrived in Nanjiang in the afternoon, yet he only made a call, so it somehow felt that he was being too indifferent.

“He’s just like that.
He doesn’t talk much.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.

“Usually, when he’s in Yuncheng, he already doesn’t say much when you two meet.
Now that he’s back in Nanjiang, it’ll probably be even harder to contact each other,” Fu Chen said very casually, as if he was joking and that his words couldn’t be taken to heart.

But when Qiao Aiyun heard this, she inevitably felt uncomfortable.

Most importantly, what Fu Chen pointed out was the truth.

Yan Wangchuan wasn’t someone who would take the initiative, and she really couldn’t ask for too much from him.

Qiao Aiyun suddenly slightly regretted agreeing to him so quickly.
She thought that she should have interacted and observed him more.

Song Fengwan listened quietly.
She had only found out a few days ago that these two people were allied. Uncle Yan just left, and Third Brother is already stabbing him in the back?

That’s so evil of him.

Or has the alliance collapsed?

Sun Qionghua sat at the side and listened silently.
Judging from their tones, there was probably something going on between Qiao Aiyun and Yan Wangchuan.

She was glad that her relationship with the Qiao family hadn’t deteriorated past the point of no return.
She didn’t know what the Yan family’s attitude toward this mother and daughter pair was.
But if he treated Song Fengwan as his biological daughter, her value would naturally rise.

Yan Wangchuan is an only son too, and he has no biological children.
Then, from now on…

Sun Qionghua shook her head helplessly, lamenting that fate was playing tricks on her.

Now, she hated Jiang Fengya even more.

Throughout the meal, everyone had their own thoughts, and it ended after seven in the evening.

Because Qiao Aiyun and Qiao Wangbei had drunk some alcohol, Fu Chen naturally had to drive them back.

Sun Qionghua could only agree.
She couldn’t possibly let Fu Yuxiu send them home because Qiao Wangbei would probably kill him once he was in their territory.

They all went their separate ways.

Sun Rui knew that Fu Chen was very stubborn and didn’t have a great attitude toward her, so she wanted to start off by approaching Huai Sheng first.
She had heard that this child was currently staying at Fu Chen’s place and was very close to him.
If she pleased him, it would be easier for her to get close to Fu Chen in the future.

So when they returned to the Fu residence and Huai Sheng said that he would be doing his evening class, she volunteered to teach him.

Sun Qionghua was so annoyed with her and couldn’t be bothered with her at all.
If Sun Rui didn’t suddenly come over, she wouldn’t have offended Fu Chen.
If Fu Chen had spoken up just now, would the Qiao family have embarrassed her?

Fu Yuxiu silently cursed her for being stupid when he saw how happy she was.

She still wants to woo my third uncle like this?

Do the evening class?

She’ll probably be dead because of this scheming little baldy.

As expected…

A few minutes later, Sun Rui broke down.

Huai Sheng hugged the wooden fish and looked at her seriously.
“Auntie, do you know what the saying ‘Everything with form is unreal; if all forms are seen as unreal, the Tathagata will be perceived’ means?”

Sun Rui was dumbfounded.
She only understood the last word.

No one had told her that this little monk was here to recite scriptures at night.

“Auntie, my evening class is very boring.
Are you sure you want to accompany me?”

She was the one who had volunteered to accompany him, so she couldn’t leave halfway, lest Fu Chen found out and she left a bad impression on him.
She smiled.
“Yes, I’ll accompany you.”

Thereafter, she listened to Huai Sheng knock on the wooden fish for a whole hour.

She was on the brink of going crazy, but she still had to accompany him, all smiles.

On the other side…

While Fu Chen was sending the three of them back home, he was chatting with Qiao Wangbei throughout the car ride.

Fu Chen knew a lot about jewelry and jade, which surprised Qiao Wangbei.
“I really didn’t expect you to know so much.”

“I’m interested in it, so I learned more about it.”

“If you come to Suzhou in the future, you can come to my house and have a tour.”

Fu Chen nodded.

Meanwhile, Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan were sitting in the back row of the car.
Song Fengwan saw her mother checking her phone every two minutes, clearly waiting for a call or a message.

Qiao Aiyun sighed when the car drove into their community. I really can’t expect too much from him.

The car stopped steadily.
When the four of them got out, Qiao Aiyun looked at her phone again.

“Aunt Yun, why don’t you call him first?” Fu Chen smiled.
“Mr.
Yan is probably busy right now.
He might call you later.”

Qiao Aiyun smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.

Song Fengwan was speechless. What did Uncle Yan do to offend him for him to keep playing tricks behind his back?

When the four of them entered the courtyard, the sensor lights under the porch lit up with the sound of footsteps.

Yan Wangchuan’s dark and cold face instantly appeared in their line of sight.

He appeared out of nowhere, and it was unknown how long he had been waiting there.
He was dressed fully in black and had his lips pursed, exuding a chilly aura all over, especially when he looked at Fu Chen…

His gaze was even sharper, as sharp and deep as a hawk’s.

Brat, you’re really capable.
