Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Fearless

Regarding this, Fu Yihan turned a blind eye.

After eating, Su Qingnuan asked again, "Mr. Fu, how about going out for a walk?"

Most people were in the main hall at this time, so there shouldn’t be many outside.

"Hmm."

With Fu Yihan’s consent, Su Qingnuan pushed him toward the outside.

The air outside was noticeably fresher compared to the bustling hall.

Standing at the entrance, Su Qingnuan took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. "The moon has come out."

The man seated also raised his head to look. Under the moonlight, his dark eyes glimmered faintly.

Su Qingnuan lowered her gaze and saw this scene unfold.

"Mr. Fu," Su Qingnuan said with a faint smile, "Have you ever heard of....."

"Mr. Fu!"

Su Qingnuan turned around to see a woman wearing a wine-red evening gown, holding a glass of wine, elegantly walking toward them.

Her flamboyant and stunning face was captivating.

Su Qingnuan quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her voice. "Mr. Fu, someone’s calling you."

Fu Yihan turned his head and looked at the approaching woman, his expression calm.

"Mr. Fu," the stunning woman stopped in front of his wheelchair and smiled broadly, "Long time no see."

Fu Yihan raised an eyebrow and scrutinized her for a while before finally saying, "Who are you?"

The woman’s dazzling smile stiffened for a brief moment, but she quickly recovered and said with a small smile, "Mr. Fu may not remember me. I’m Jiang Ye’s daughter, Jiang Keli."

"Miss Jiang," Fu Yihan nodded without any change in expression, "Understood."

"Is there something you need?" he asked.

Jiang Keli smiled as she studied him. "I heard from my father that Mr. Fu resigned from his position at the company. How could someone as talented as Mr. Fu be content with staying idle at home? I was thinking...."

"I like being idle." Fu Yihan cut her off coldly and said indifferently, "And I have no intention of returning to the company. If your Jiang family has any issues, just go directly to Fu Yixing."

After speaking, Fu Yihan glanced at Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan quickly nodded and pushed him further outside.

"Mr. Fu, I’m currently the general manager of Jiang Corporation. If you ever feel inclined to collaborate, you are always welcome."

Fu Yihan didn’t respond, his expression remaining unchanged.

As they walked farther away, Su Qingnuan looked back and saw the woman still standing there.

The dim night enveloped her as she stood quietly at the entrance, seemingly watching them, yet not entirely.

"What are you looking at?"

The icy voice snapped Su Qingnuan out of her thoughts.

Su Qingnuan quickly shook her head. "Nothing."

"Your eyes nearly fell out staring over there, and you call it nothing?"

"....." Su Qingnuan gave an embarrassed laugh, retracting her gaze before turning to Fu Yihan. "Do you think they don’t know Mr. Fu has his own company?"

Fu Yihan shot her a glance and said coldly, "Apart from you, I don’t want anyone else knowing about this."

"....Why?" Su Qingnuan asked in confusion, looking at him.

The old man at the house constantly complained. If he knew Fu Yihan had his own business, he would surely support it, wouldn’t he?

"No reason." Fu Yihan averted his gaze, staring into the distance at the pitch-black sky studded with stars. "If anyone finds out, I’ll kick you out of the company."

"....Understood."

Under Fu Yihan’s playful threat, Su Qingnuan refrained from bringing up the topic again.

Yet, that Miss Jiang Keli kept appearing before them repeatedly. Even as the banquet ended, she still hadn’t given up.

With a blank expression, Fu Yihan sent her away and turned to go upstairs without a trace of hesitation.

Having spent the whole day, Su Qingnuan was exhausted. She fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.

At the break of dawn, Su Qingnuan woke groggily to find the room empty. She tidied herself up briefly and headed downstairs.

"Keli, while you’re staying at our home, don’t be shy. Treat this place just like your own,"

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Seeing that captivating face, Su Qingnuan froze, confusion filling her eyes.

The first to notice her was Jiang Keli.

Giving her a meaningful glance, Jiang Keli smiled softly and said, "Grandpa, the eldest daughter-in-law has woken up."

The old man turned around, noticing Su Qingnuan standing there, and waved her over excitedly.

"Yuerou, come here quickly! Let Grandpa introduce you!"

Forcing a smile, Su Qingnuan walked over.

"This is Jiang Keli, Jiang Ye’s daughter. Since Jiang Ye has gone abroad, Keli will be staying with us temporarily."

Her smile froze for a moment before Su Qingnuan approached the old man and whispered, "Grandpa, does Yihan know about this?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the old man’s face, and he lowered his voice. "....I haven’t had the chance to tell him yet."

The implication was clear—he hadn’t said anything.

Su Qingnuan sighed helplessly. "Grandpa, you know Yihan’s temper...."

Even a slight irritation might lead to him moving out.

"Don’t worry, you’re here to help smooth things over." The old man smiled, patting her on the shoulder, "Nowadays, Yihan cares more about you as his wife than me as his elder. This matter is up to you."

"Huh?" Su Qingnuan widened her eyes in confusion, looking at the old man.

"Grandpa believes in you. Waiting for your good news."

"....."

Su Qingnuan shook her head gloomily. "Grandpa, I don’t think I can manage it. Yihan, he..."

"Hey! Yihan is back." The old man suddenly stood up and walked toward the doorway, "We were just talking about you, and here you are already?"

Su Qingnuan looked up to see Fu Yihan’s pale face, his expression not looking too good.

At times like this, raising these matters would likely result in being chased out.

"Just in time. Yuerou has something to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yihan turned toward Su Qingnuan, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

Su Qingnuan gave a strained smile and walked over to Fu Yihan.

Glancing at the expectant old man beside them, Su Qingnuan smiled and leaned slightly closer to Fu Yihan.

Her strands of hair fell onto Fu Yihan’s shoulder.

Fu Yihan tilted his head slightly, his gaze landing on the strands resting on his shoulder, lost in thought.

"Mr. Fu," Su Qingnuan lowered her voice, leaning closer, "There’s something I want to tell you. Can we talk upstairs?"

Her breathing was slightly unsteady, her words coming out in rushed bursts.

Fu Yihan looked up at the old man beside them, who was watching them with noticeable excitement, seemingly waiting for something, yet saying nothing.

"Did the old man ask you to say this?" Fu Yihan asked.

Su Qingnuan froze briefly and quickly shook her head. "No."

Fu Yihan ignored her, turning instead to the old man.

"Old man, what have you done this time?"

"....." The old man looked at Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan hurriedly waved her hands, signaling that she hadn’t said anything.

"Do you really think she can convince me?" Fu Yihan asked again.

"....." The old man grabbed the handles of Fu Yihan’s wheelchair and laughed. "Let’s go upstairs to talk about it."

With that, he pushed Fu Yihan upstairs.

Seeing this, Su Qingnuan initially wanted to follow, but the old man stopped her outside the elevator.

Watching the elevator numbers flicker, Su Qingnuan frowned slightly and turned back around.

"Madam Fu." Jiang Keli stood behind her, smiling at her.
