Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Insider

Fu Jiang tilted his head, staring at Fu Yihan: "I was just asking a couple of questions. Is that not allowed?"

"No," Fu Yihan said emphatically, "If you want to ask, go ask Fu Yixing. This has nothing to do with us."

"..."

The gaze that was fixed on Fu Yihan shifted, directing towards Fu Yixing.

Fu Yixing lowered his head, his tone apologetic: "I’m sorry, Father, it’s my fault."

"What did you do to make your grandpa so angry?"

Fu Yixing mumbled in response: "Actually, I didn’t do much. I just told Grandpa that I was getting married, and then he...."

"Just because of this?" Fu Jiang frowned, "Your grandpa isn’t the kind who gets upset for no reason. If you said you were getting married, why would he be angry? He’d be thrilled!"

"It’s... just because of this."

Fu Jiang rubbed his forehead, helplessly asked: "Whose family’s daughter are you marrying?"

"...Qin Shuwen’s daughter, Qin Man."

"...Who?" Fu Jiang looked up in surprise and uncertainty at Fu Yixing.

"Qin Man."

"You!" Fu Jiang stood up abruptly, angrily saying, "No wonder your grandpa was so upset. What are you thinking, you little brat? Instead of focusing on proper things, you insist on these crooked paths!"

"How is it a crooked path?" Fu Yixing looked at Fu Jiang with dissatisfaction, "I’m only getting married, why does everyone in the family disapprove? When my older brother got married, you didn’t say anything!"

"...Your older brother’s situation is different from yours, isn’t it?" Fu Jiang glanced at Fu Yihan seated in the distance, who was calmly detached from the situation.

"Enough!" Fu Jiang stood up and said seriously, "This matter is not to be mentioned again, do you hear me?"

"Dad!" Fu Yixing anxiously moved closer to Fu Jiang and said in a low voice, "What about my marriage? I’ve already made arrangements with Man’er."

"Marriage! What marriage! You must be out of your mind!"

Shoving Fu Yixing away, Fu Jiang said with restrained anger, "Get rid of those unnecessary thoughts at once. This matter is not to be mentioned again."

Having said that, Fu Jiang turned around and went upstairs.

Watching his angry retreating figure, Fu Yixing lowered his head in contemplation.

Considering how many benefits would come after his marriage, why wouldn’t they agree to it?

"Let’s go." Fu Yihan withdrew his gaze and said softly.

"Mm."

Su Qingnuan pushed Fu Yihan, and the two entered the elevator.

Fu Yihan looked ahead, seemingly lost in thought, while Su Qingnuan continued to observe his expression.

"Why are you looking at me?"

The person didn’t turn his head but suddenly asked this.

"Ah?" Su Qingnuan hastily looked away, muttering, "No, I just wanted to thank you."

"Thank me?" Fu Yihan turned his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Thank me for what?"

"Just now... it was thanks to you that Dad didn’t make things difficult for me."

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Fu Yihan curled his lips indifferently, "You’re overthinking it. I just didn’t want you babbling and inviting unnecessary trouble."

"..."

Though the words weren’t pleasant, since he had helped her, there was no need to quibble over them.

Swallowing her words, Su Qingnuan pushed Fu Yihan back to the room.

...

On the first day, Su Qingnuan took leave from school to accompany Fu Yihan in discharging Grandpa from the hospital.

When they arrived, Grandpa was lying in bed, groaning and wailing loudly enough for everyone in the ward to hear his cries.

When the two walked in, the cries stopped.

Fu Yihan looked at the quietly lying old man and smirked, "Doesn’t it hurt anymore, Grandpa?"

"No, it doesn’t." Grandpa sat up, saying seriously, "Hurry and help me pack. Let’s go home."

"No," Fu Yihan calmly interrupted Grandpa’s thought, stating earnestly, "We have to wait for the doctor to check and confirm you’re okay before we can be discharged."

"No need!" Grandpa leaned closer excitedly, lowering his voice, "There’s nothing to check. I’m sure I’m fine myself, isn’t that enough?"

"No."

"Fu Yihan! Doesn’t anything I say matter anymore?"

"No."

"....."

Under Fu Yihan’s insistence, Grandpa completed the full check-up and was then given permission by the doctor to leave.

Grandpa sat in the car, looking around, frowning, "Where’s that brat Fu Yixing?"

"Afraid he might make you so angry that you’d end up back in the hospital, he’s waiting at home." Fu Yihan "considerately" explained.

Grandpa glared at him with a cold laugh, "You shouldn’t act like you’re better than your brother. Neither of you are saints."

Fu Yihan raised an eyebrow, "I’ve never claimed to be a saint. It’s you who has thought too highly of me."

"....."

Grandpa, being rebutted, fell silent, and the car became quiet.

The car slowly drove down the road, Grandpa looking around, finally his gaze settled on Su Qingnuan.

"Doesn’t Yue Rou have class today?"

Su Qingnuan turned her head, smiling, "Grandpa, I took leave from school today."

"A filial child," Grandpa said with a satisfied smile, "Better than my two grandsons."

Su Qingnuan gave an awkward smile, sneaking a glance at Fu Yihan.

The latter watched her with a half-smile, eyes carrying a coldness.

Quickly averting her gaze, Su Qingnuan tried to minimize her presence.

But Grandpa, finally finding someone to talk to, naturally wouldn’t let go of Su Qingnuan, chatting with her for quite a while.

If looks could kill, Su Qingnuan thought she might have died several times.

When they reached home, Su Qingnuan eagerly got out of the car.

Taking in the fresh air outside, Su Qingnuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Only when Fu Yihan got out did Su Qingnuan go over to push him inside.

"Now you’re being clever, learning to please the elder?"

A sarcastic voice rang out, leaving Su Qingnuan puzzled as she looked at Fu Yihan.

"Mr. Fu?"

"What? Didn’t you hear what I said?" Fu Yihan asked coldly.

Su Qingnuan laughed helplessly, "No, I just thought you said it wrong. If I were to please anyone, it would be you, not the elder. After all, it’s you who is directly connected to my interests, isn’t it?"

The mocking smile froze, and Fu Yihan glanced at Su Qingnuan, her face full of smiles, his gaze deepened.

"Does Mr. Fu not agree with what I said?" Su Qingnuan asked again.

Retracting his gaze, Fu Yihan said softly, "Neither agreeing nor disagreeing."

So he tacitly agreed?

Su Qingnuan smiled even more, leaning down close to Fu Yihan’s ear, whispering, "Can Mr. Fu tell me what you like? Or what you enjoy doing? I can cater to your preferences to please you."

Her proximity was close, her warm breath spraying near Fu Yihan’s ear,

This feeling wasn’t unfamiliar. The women lingering around him loved to provoke him in this way.

However, Fu Yihan had always remained indifferent, yet for some reason, as he felt the warm breath, he suddenly sensed his chest was slightly itching.
