Song Fengwan was lying in bed and called Fu Chen to tell him about this incident. Fu Chen was currently on a business trip out of town. Otherwise, he would have gone over long ago. Most importantly, Qian Jiang actually didn’t reveal anything.

“Song Fengwan, wait for me to go back and deal with you.”

“Third Brother~” Song Fengwan was afraid that Qiao Xiyan would settle scores with her later, so she had planned to use Fu Chen as a shield. Who knew that he would also want to deal with her?

“Comrade Song Fengwan, it’s already so late. If you show off your affection again, I’ll throw you out of the dorm room.” Hu Xinyue, who was lying in bed on the other side and watching a horror movie, suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard Song Fengwan’s coquettishness.

Fu Chen said, “Rest early.”

“When are you coming back?”

“Aunt Yun and the others will come the day after tomorrow. I’ll go pick them up with you.”

The two spoke a few more words before hanging up.

Fu Chen’s phone vibrated. Qian Jiang sent him a message.

[Third Master, the person who splashed the paint has been caught. It’s all thanks to Miss Song’s quick-wittedness, Jiang Ershao’s sacrifice, and my agility.]

[He has already been arrested.]

[Third Master, I wish you a good night.]

Fu Chen rubbed his phone and called him.

Qian Jiang had already gone home to rest. When he saw Fu Chen’s call, he immediately sat up straight. “Hello, Third Master.”

“Is everything in your message true? Why didn’t you stop Wanwan when she said this idea?”

“The situation was special.”

Fu Chen sneered. You’ve really been let loose outside for too long. Your wings have hardened, and you’ve learned to cover for Wanwan. “You may have forgotten who gives you your salary.”

“Third Master, I was wrong.” A certain someone immediately lowered his head to money.

“Next time something happens, tell me in time.” Fu Chen hung up.

Qian Jiang stared at the hung-up phone and took a deep breath.

He also had a day where he had to lower his head to a capitalist big shot. He had no choice. He had to eat too.

Shi Fang had just finished accompanying Fu Chen to deal with clients and was now helping him to deal with documents. When he saw that Qian Jiang was being held accountable, he couldn’t help echoing, “Old Jiang, this old fellow, his wings have hardened. He actually learned to lie and hide. He’s not a good person.

“Unlike me, I’m smart, quick-witted, and flexible.

“If I were there…”

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “With your combat ability, I’m afraid you’d be kicked before you could catch him.”

Shi Fang was dumbfounded.

On another side…

Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci had already arrived at Yishui Community. The moment they got out of the car, Qiao Xiyan grabbed her hand and walked toward the elevator.

When they reached the floor, Qiao Xiyan searched for the key and unlocked the door.

As soon as she stepped inside, he grabbed her and carried her. Her body was suspended in the air as she entered the apartment. He raised his leg and closed the door.

After entering the house, he didn’t turn on the lights. There was no moonlight tonight, and the house was empty and cold…

Everything that happened next was as expected.

…

There were the sounds of early morning cars outside, and the room was silent.

When Tang Jingci was taking a shower just now, Qiao Xiyan had changed their bedsheets and soaked them in water. Perhaps because he was no longer sleepy, he took out a cigarette from his pants pocket and seemed to be hesitating about smoking it.

Tang Jingci lay on the bed and looked at him. “You still smoke?”

“No, I’m trying my best to quit.”

“Actually, it’s fine even if you can’t quit smoking. Just don’t smoke too much.” Tang Jingci didn’t reject the smell of smoke on him, but she just felt that it wasn’t good for his health.

Just like when she went drag racing, it was a way to relieve stress. Qiao Xiyan had the halo of Old Master Qiao over his head. If he didn’t work hard, countless people would stare at him and laugh at him.

The two of them weren’t sleepy and leaned against each other to chat for a while.

It was nothing more than how to lay the cards on the table with the elders of the two families.

“I suddenly remembered something.” Tang Jingci almost jumped out of bed.

“What’s wrong?”

“We didn’t take any precautions just now…” Tang Jingci suddenly thought of this and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Qiao Xiyan subconsciously rubbed his fingers. “It shouldn’t be that coincidental.”

“Yeah, it shouldn’t be that coincidental.” Tang Jingci felt lucky. “Why don’t you buy me some medicine later?”

“Don’t take it. If you’re pregnant, just give birth.” Qiao Xiyan helped her smooth her hair. “I’ll raise it.”

Tang Jingci was lying in his arms and smiling.

Later on, she felt that she had been a fool blinded by love. The two of them were in a relationship, but they were neither married nor engaged. However, they actually talked about having a child. If a certain someone was a scumbag and left directly, wouldn’t she have become a woman with a burden?

…

The two of them talked for a long time. Only when the sky brightened did they fall asleep.

“What should we say when my dad comes?” Tang Jingci was a little nervous.

Qiao Xiyan hugged her, his consciousness a little blurry.

“… What should we say?”

“Yeah, what should we say?”

“Say that I’m marrying you.”

Tang Jingci’s heart seemed to be scalded by something as she leaned into his embrace. Her father doted on her, so he might have a big reaction. But even if it was a bottomless abyss in front of her, she would still jump in with him.

She…

… also wanted to marry him.

The next day…

Song Fengwan had two classes in the morning. After her classes ended at 9:50, she took a taxi to Yishui Community. She knew that Qiao Xiyan would settle scores with her sooner or later, so she might as well take the initiative to die.

It was always better than feeling uneasy.

So she bought some fruits and went straight to Yishui Community. As soon as she reached the door, she was dumbfounded.

The key was still hanging on the door.

Who’s so muddled? What if there’s a thief?

But as soon as she entered, she knew what had happened. She put down her things and quickly slipped away.

When Qiao Xiyan woke up, he saw a bag of apples in the living room with a note under it.

[I saw that you were resting, so I left first.]

The signature was: Song Fengwan.

She even drew a naughty face.

Qiao Xiyan chuckled. Does this girl think she can bribe me with a few apples?

Suddenly, his phone was vibrating violently. He had placed his phone near the edge of the table. With the slight vibration, it fell to the floor. A crack formed at the corner of the screen, as if it was a sign that something ominous had happened.
