“Why?”
The Jing family was already very low-key, and they didn’t engage in business or politics. They were basically in a secluded state. Did they have to keep a low profile?
“Recently, there’s an annual family gathering in Lingnan. There are many Xu family members in Beijing now.”
Song Fengwan nodded. She remembered hearing Yu Manxi mention it earlier.
At the time, the venue for her wedding had been rented by Lingnan for a family gathering. Later, it was given to the Fu family. The time was about right.
Chuanbei and Lingnan were not on good terms, so it was normal for the Jing family to keep a low profile.
Fu Chen leaned closer and deliberately blew into her ear, making half of her body numb. She turned her head and glared at him angrily. There are still people here. Can’t you stop?
“If you want to talk, talk! Don’t touch me!”
“I didn’t touch you. I only moved my mouth.” Fu Chen chuckled softly.
Song Fengwan was helpless and could only let him keep teasing her.
…
Naturally, Fu Chen didn’t mention to Song Fengwan that other than this, there was another reason why Jing Hanchuan didn’t go out.
The young master of the Xu family had been bored recently and often drove around Chuanbei…
He also went out with a large group of cousins. It was clear that they wanted to blockade Jing Hanchuan.
He had smashed someone’s eye and made it swell. That kid seemed to be very vengeful and was probably thinking about seeking revenge on him.
It wasn’t that Jing Hanchuan couldn’t afford to offend him, but he felt that there was no need to argue with the child, so he simply hid at home for peace.
But one time, Xu Yao went too far and set up an open-air barbecue in the empty field behind his house. He was fishing in the backyard when he saw the ashes blowing along the south wind…
Jing Hanchuan didn’t get to eat any barbecue but instead had the smell all over him. This brat needs to be taught a lesson.
But now that the Xu family had gathered in the capital, Jing Hanchuan didn’t want to fight against him at this time. If things went wrong, he might really be ganged up on. He only felt that this child was simply childish.
The big shot of the Jing family couldn’t sit still anymore. “Hanchuan, why don’t you go out and fight that brat? Don’t be a coward.”
He was impatient and straightforward. He couldn’t stand seeing this brat from the Xu family wandering around all day.
“How?” Jing Hanchuan stared at the goldfish in the fish tank, his thoughts spinning. “He’s good at martial arts, but he’s too impatient, so he naturally has many flaws. If I get serious, he’s the one who will suffer. But when the Xu family comes to our door, will you clean up the mess?”
“In that case, you might as well lose to him and let him kick you a few times to calm down. Perhaps the grudges between our families will be untied.”
The corners of Jing Hanchuan’s mouth twitched. Is this my biological father? He wants me to send myself to be beaten up?
Given that brat’s disgraceful character, he’ll definitely go around announcing that he beat me up. At that time, would I still be able to survive in the Beijing circle in the future? Even Linbai would laugh at me to death.
“It’s been strange recently. Why is Little Xu’s dessert store always closed?” the big shot of the Jing family said casually.
A few days ago, he had accompanied Sheng Aiyi to the Pear Garden to perform. On the way home, he wanted to bring Jing Hanchuan something to eat. After all, he was his son. Even though he wasn’t young anymore, his parents’ hearts still treasured him. They didn’t expect the dessert store to be closed.
It had been over a dozen days.
Jing Hanchuan didn’t say anything. On the third day after Fu Sinian’s wedding reception, he knew that the store had closed. The reason was unknown, and even the advertisements on Xu Yuanfei’s Moments had stopped updating. She only said that something had happened at home and that they were closed for two weeks.
His relationship with Xu Yuanfei wasn’t that close yet. Even if he had a craving, he couldn’t ask.
He had gone to a few different dessert shops and even made a cake at home according to the craftsmanship he had secretly learned from her. The results were unsatisfactory.
Nothing tasted right.
Xu Yuanfei’s Moments hadn’t stopped during this period of time. She had taken many photos of people on vacation. Although they were all in the capital, the pictures were simple and beautiful. She had also specially dressed up, making her look fashionable and eye-catching…
One of the photos caught his attention.

Beside her, a man’s fingers entered the scene…
Jing Hanchuan stared at the photo for a long time. She’s not open for business to earn money but went out to play? And she has the company of the opposite sex?
He didn’t accept Duan Linbai’s invitation today because he knew that Xu Yuanfei was officially opening for business today. She had said directly in her Moments:
[We’re open for business today. We can deliver after 8 p.m. If we have over 100 orders today, we’ll give the lucky customer a box of small egg tarts.]
***
Xu Yuanfei reopened her store for the first day today. Because it was near a school, she was very busy during the day. She only received a big order at around 9 p.m., when it was almost closing time.
“Boss, Mr. Jing’s order.” These part-time students could more or less sense something. As long as there was an order from the Jing family, they would immediately call Xu Yuanfei.
“What?” When Xu Yuanfei came out and saw the order, she was a little surprised. The contact person for the online order was Mr. Jing, but the address was in a high-end apartment building, not the Jing family’s home address.
“Haha, did you think it was that gentleman?” The part-time student teased her with a smile. After all, there were too few people with the surname Jing.
“Alright, pack your things. I’ll deliver this order. You guys can go back and rest. Remember to turn off the power when you leave.” There were a lot of reports of fires recently.
“Got it.”
Xu Yuanfei drove and found the apartment building according to the address. When she entered the community, she was even checked. Knowing that she was delivering food to the Jing family, the security guard quickly let her go.
At the time, Xu Yuanfei was still thinking that this customer was quite careful.
But he was also quite lazy. If he didn’t inform her in advance, she would have placed the cake at the security station and let him come down to get it himself. There was no need for her to deliver it to the door.
She looked for the address, found the unit number, and took the elevator up. This person lived on the top floor. When she passed it to the door, it was ajar, but she still pressed the doorbell.
“Is anyone here? I have a food delivery.”
Through the crack in the door, she saw that it was dark inside. Only light shone through the drawn curtains, illuminating everything. There didn’t seem to be much furniture inside.
“Is there anyone here?” Xu Yuanfei frowned. She lowered her head and tried to call the customer, but no one answered.
She called out a few more times, but no one answered.
Why isn’t there anyone here? Or did something happen to this customer at home?
Xu Yuanfei felt uneasy. It wasn’t good to enter someone else’s home without permission, but what if this person fainted at home? After hesitating for a while, she opened the door. If there was nothing strange, she would put the cake down and leave.
She tiptoed in. “Sorry, I came in without permission.”
For some reason, her heart started pounding and her pupils dilated as she walked in.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window could overlook the night view of the capital. The lights were as bright as day, shining all kinds of colors on her face.
She looked around. There really didn’t seem to be anyone around. She placed the cake on the table and planned to leave. Her gaze was attracted by the tank of goldfish on the table and the golden fishtails swaying.
It was the only life and light in this room.
Suddenly, she heard the door behind her creak and close.
The pores all over her body contracted. She was quite bold, but she was afraid of ghosts. The atmosphere at this moment was too weird. She forced herself to calm down before hearing that someone seemed to be approaching from behind.
Did I meet some perverted customer?
She took a deep breath and exerted all her strength. She clenched her fists, turned around, and kicked!
The man actually reached out his hand…
… and directly blocked the kick.
The rainbow shadows from outside the window intertwined on his face, complementing his already handsome and slightly gentle face to look quite lively, gorgeous, and seductive.
“You trespassed into someone else’s house and even attacked the owner?”
Xu Yuanfei’s temples throbbed, and her heart couldn’t help trembling. Why is it him…
