Chapter 214: Are They on Good Terms?

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Are They on Good Terms?

In the yard, Fu Xingzhou had waited for a while before his car pulled in.

The sky was slightly dark, and the dim lights in the yard shone on the flowers and bushes, the little night lights amongst the grass adding a touch of quiet beauty.

Fu Xingzhou got out of the car and immediately spotted Ye Yan sitting on the swing.

He walked around to her back, bent down to kiss the corner of her lips, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tightly to his chest.

It had only been a day apart, but it felt like an eternity.

Ye Yan kissed his chin, "Do you want to change clothes?"

"No need, they must be getting anxious over there."

He was dressed casually, in a black shirt and pants, which surprisingly matched her long dress.

After they got into the car, Fu Xingzhou fastened Ye Yan’s seatbelt.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some snacks first?"

Ye Yan was indeed hungry.

Normally at this time, she would have already started her meal.

Fu Xingzhou took out a box of snacks, and upon opening it, the colorful delicacies resembled finely carved art pieces, appetizing yet almost too beautiful to bite into.

Ye Yan hesitated for a moment and chose a rose pastry.

She took a bite, and the light rose aroma filled her senses – fragrant but not overpowering, sweet but not cloying, leaving a delightful taste.

Ye Yan’s eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t help but offer it to Fu Xingzhou’s mouth, "It’s really delicious."

Fu Xingzhou took a bite where she had bitten.

It was unclear whether it was the tasty snacks or her joyful eyes twinkling like little stars, but the flavor in his mouth was unusually sweet.

"Don’t eat too much, we still have dinner later."

Ye Yan obediently listened, withdrawing her hand that was reaching for another snack, "I’ll save these for Meng Tian."

She carefully packed the box away.

"Since Tang Jingyao is hosting, will Meng Tian also be there?" Ye Yan knew why this gathering was held, but she just wanted to indirectly understand Tang Jingyao’s thoughts.

Fu Xingzhou was his good brother, but it was uncertain whether he would share this with him.

"She probably won’t want to come," Fu Xingzhou took a tissue to wipe a crumb from her lip. "Didn’t she tell you Jiang Ying has been released from prison?"

Ye Yan’s beautiful phoenix eyes blinked.

Fu Xingzhou smiled and kissed her again, "Did you think you could hide your little schemes from me?"

She never liked attending dinners, especially after becoming pregnant; she preferred the quiet.

Saying she was going to grow hairs was actually just a pretense for scouting on Meng Tian’s behalf.

Ye Yan’s schemes being discovered, she huffed and pushed his hand away, ignoring him.

Fu Xingzhou laughed even more joyfully, threw away the tissue, and drew her into his arms, "Is Dr. Ye so petty?"

Suddenly hearing him call her Dr. Ye, Ye Yan momentarily returned to the past.

When he teased her, he liked to call her Dr. Ye, and the people around him followed suit.

Actually, in their circle, they did have extra respect for those with education and high degrees.

Ye Yan couldn’t help but hug his waist tighter, "Don’t you know whether I’m petty or not?"

"Whether Dr. Ye is petty or not, I’m not quite sure. I only know if Dr. Ye is tight."

Ye Yan: ...

Realizing what he meant, she started hitting him, "Fu Xingzhou, have you no shame?"

Since they had reconciled, he had lifted the ban and always liked to make risqué jokes, causing her cheeks to flush and her heart to race.

It was also her fault for not having the thick skin to learn even a bit from him.

The two caused a ruckus all the way until the car slowly stopped in front of the clubhouse.

The clubhouse was owned by Tang Jingyao, and the doorkeeper recognized Fu Xingzhou and hurriedly came forward to open the car door for him.

Fu Xingzhou led Ye Yan by the hand as they appeared; immediately, a manager came forward to greet them.

The manager cautiously sized up Ye Yan.

At first glance, he thought she was the waitress named Xin Rou who had left their establishment, but a second look completely dispelled this idea.

Although the girl wore simple makeup, her aura was ethereal, elusive like a celestial being, a fleeting sight like a startled swan—something Xin Rou could never match.

The manager led them to a private room on the top floor.

At that moment, the private room was buzzing with activity. Besides Liang Zheng and He Xuan, there were also several elite young men and distinguished young ladies.

Everyone had brought either a female or male companion, totaling around fourteen or fifteen people.

As soon as Fu Xingzhou appeared, the originally lively atmosphere of the private room soared even higher.

"Second Brother is here."

"Mr. Fu is here."

They addressed him variously, all very respectfully.

When the crowd saw the person Fu Xingzhou was holding hands with, everyone had different expressions and their own speculations.

Previously, many in this circle were aware that Fu Xingzhou was married.

However, rumors later circulated that he had divorced his secretly married wife.

Indeed, there had been a long period when Fu Xingzhou was seen alone, and the women who desperately sought his favor and attention invariably returned disappointed.

Tonight, Fu Xingzhou had broken his routine by bringing a female companion.

But most of them didn’t recognize this female companion.

"Dr. Ye, I didn’t expect you to honor us with your presence," Tang Jingyao stood up to greet them, accompanied by a young woman.

This young woman had a petite and slender figure, with a palm-sized delicate face.

Especially those eyes, which, without any expression, exuded a broken, tearful vulnerability that instinctively elicited a protective urge in others.

Yet she loved to smile, her entire persona radiating a sunlit vivacity that was warm and comforting.

"Who might this be?" Ye Yan had already guessed the identity of the woman.

"Jiang Ying," Tang Jingyao introduced, "Dr. Ye, you must have heard of her."

"Ah, Miss Jiang, I’ve long admired your reputation."

Jiang Ying extended her hand: "I’ve also admired Dr. Ye for a long time, Ah Yao mentions you often. I didn’t expect you to be so young and beautiful; standing before you, I feel quite inferior."

Ye Yan smiled.

Jiang Ying was indeed a smooth talker, humbling herself to elevate others, doing so with such ease.

And the way she addressed Tang Jingyao, ’Ah Yao’?

Quite intimate indeed.

"Mr. Fu," Jiang Ying also greeted Fu Xingzhou, "long time no see."

Jiang Ying and Fu Xingzhou were acquainted; in the past, Tang Jingyao often brought her out, and the two had even reached the stage of engagement.

Had it not been for Jiang Ying’s sudden imprisonment, she would now be Mrs. Tang.

Fu Xingzhou nodded slightly in acknowledgment and continued holding Ye Yan’s hand, heading to their seats.

"Mr. Tang," Ye Yan suddenly turned to Tang Jingyao, smiling, "when is Tiantian coming?"

Hearing this name, Jiang Ying’s face noticeably stiffened, and her hands unnaturally tightened on the edges of her skirt.

But quickly, she regained her composure, her gaze inadvertently sweeping across Tang Jingyao’s face.

Tang Jingyao said, "I called her, but she mentioned she has two forensic reports due today, so she might not make it."

"That’s for the best, otherwise Miss Jiang might feel awkward," Ye Yan said, smiling, as she walked arm in arm with Fu Xingzhou.

Ye Yan’s words had double meanings, causing Tang Jingyao and Jiang Ying’s expressions to stiffen.

Ye Yan remained unconcerned.

If Meng Tian wouldn’t come, and neither would she, who would provide the friction for this "perfect match"?

Jiang Ying stood rooted to the spot for a while, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Ah Yao, are Dr. Ye and Meng Tian very close?"
