He sent himself to her doorstep for her to woo?

Before Shen Jinye could recover from his shock, Fu Chen had already walked toward the Hunan restaurant.

“Little Uncle, where are you going?”

“To eat.” Fu Chen was in a bad mood, so even his words were slightly cold. Shen Jinye and Huai Sheng looked at each other, then hurriedly chased after him.

Fu Sinian got up and went to the restroom while Yu Manxi took the tablet and chose from the menu.

He had only gone to wash his hands. But as soon as he came out, he saw Fu Chen and the others enter the restaurant.

“Big Bro—” Shen Jinye raised his hand to greet him. “What a coincidence. Are you here to eat too?” Fu Chen liked quiet environments, but this Hunan restaurant was full of customers. Shen Jinye really didn’t know why he came to cause trouble.

Fu Sinian reached out his hand and pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge, his eyes unreadable. “Miss Song went home already?”

The corner of Shen Jinye’s lips twitched as he glanced at Fu Chen beside him. Can’t you read the atmosphere? Are you stabbing Little Uncle’s heart?

“By yourself?” Fu Chen’s expression was normal.

“With my neighbor,” Fu Sinian said bluntly. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Even if it was a coincidental meeting, it was definitely not a coincidence for them to come in.

“How many people?” Fu Chen raised his hand and stroked the prayer beads on his wrist.

“One.”

“Let’s share the table.” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes but didn’t say anything.

Shen Jinye, on the other hand, felt that when deities exchanged blows, there was the flash of cold steel, and each strike was fatal.

…

Yu Manxi saw Fu Sinian coming over from the corner of her eye and smiled lightly. But when she saw the three people behind him, she was stunned.

She knew one of them. Did he meet people he knows?

“We’re relatives. Since we’ve met, let’s eat together. You don’t mind, right?” Fu Sinian looked at Yu Manxi.

Given Fu Chen’s personality, if you didn’t agree, he would definitely set up a table adjacent to you and stare at you.

Hearing that they were relatives—and definitely family members—Yu Manxi hurriedly got up. She was a little nervous and ill at ease, afraid that she would leave a bad impression on Fu Chen and the others. “I don’t mind. Please take a seat.”

There were only two long sofas at the dining table. Since Fu Chen had brought Huai Sheng along, Shen Jinye naturally had to sit beside him. Yu Manxi moved toward the inside to make room for Fu Sinian.

She had just gotten to know Fu Sinian and wasn’t familiar with him to begin with. Now that she suddenly bumped into his relatives, she felt inexplicably nervous.

“Sinian, aren’t you going to introduce us?” Fu Chen stroked the hibiscus stone on his prayer bead bracelet with a warm smile.

“Yu Manxi, my neighbor.” Fu Sinian’s introduction was simple and crude. “The person opposite you is my third uncle and younger cousin. The little monk’s name is Huai Sheng, and he’s staying at my third uncle’s house.”

Yu Manxi was dumbfounded. Third Uncle?

So young? He even looks a few years younger than Fu Sinian. “I just ordered a dish. Take a look to see what you want to eat.”

Yu Manxi passed the tablet to Fu Chen.

Before the two of them could even begin dating, she had met his elder without warning. Yu Manxi was so nervous that she felt a little suffocated. She kept lowering her head to drink tea and sneezed a few times in surprise.

“Are you cold?” Fu Sinian turned his head to look at her. The heating in the mall was sufficient, and the restaurant was even warmer. After entering, she had taken off her jacket. She was wearing a turtleneck sweater paired with a light-colored woolen dress, looking clean and elegant.

“No.” Yu Manxi rubbed her nose and was about to reach out for the teapot to pour tea, not knowing that Fu Sinian was also extending his hand at the same time.

His fingers were long and thin, and his knuckles were clearly defined. They were very beautiful. Yu Manxi was a step slower. When her fingertips touched the back of his hand, she hurriedly withdrew her hand in shock.

The back of his hand was warm, burning her so that she was flustered in her heart. When she touched his fingertips, it hurt from a painful heat.

“Do you want some tea?” Fu Sinian’s expression changed slightly.

“Sure.”

Because they were sitting on the same side, the two of them were naturally very close. Fu Sinian leaned forward slightly to pour the tea, and the distance between their bodies shrank by an inch again.

There was a faint cool fragrance on Yu Manxi’s body. It wafted into his nose, warm and fragrant.

Fu Chen leaned back against the sofa and tilted his head to look at the two of them. There’s definitely something between them.

Yu Manxi bit her lip. Just as he leaned over, her entire body seemed to catch fire, and even her blood was boiling. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if it was about to break open her ribs and jump out of her throat.

As soon as he finished pouring the tea, Yu Manxi couldn’t wait to take a sip, seeming to want to calm herself down with this method. But the tea was very hot. When it landed on the tip of her tongue, it was so hot that she almost cried out in surprise.

“Oh—” Yu Manxi bit her lip and kept sticking out her tongue…

… just like a startled kitten.

Yu Manxi wasn’t a reserved person, but with Fu Sinian’s close kin sitting opposite her, she was definitely nervous and apprehensive. She was completely unprepared, and her entire body was tense.

Fu Sinian suddenly let out a low laugh. He was too close to her, and his deep voice landed softly in her ear.

He wasn’t stupid, and Yu Manxi’s behavior was too obvious. Previously, when they bumped into each other in the elevator, she had been staring at him the whole time. After that, she had even gone overboard and stayed at his house for the entire night. Fu Sinian knew very well what she was thinking.

She’s usually so proactive and direct, but now she’s actually nervous? She doesn’t seem very bold now.

Yu Manxi’s breathing was messy, and her heart was a mess.

“Achoo—” When she got nervous, her nose started itching. She covered her mouth and nose with a tissue, tilted her head slightly, and sneezed a few times.

“Put on your jacket.” Fu Sinian rubbed the cup with his fingers. He really couldn’t understand why these girls weren’t afraid of the cold on such a cold day.

“No need.” Yu Manxi was only annoyed inside. Why did I bump into his family at a time like this? It’s too embarrassing.

She looked up and was caught off guard by a pair of dark eyes.

The lights in the restaurant were dim, but his eyes were dark and profound without any trace of impurities. They were like the still water of a cold pond and could drown people.

He didn’t say anything and just looked at her with an aggressive and severe aura. But the thin-framed glasses weakened his sharpness and added a hint of scholarly aura.

Yu Manxi coughed twice, feeling inexplicably flustered under his gaze.

“I’ll wear it.” She took a down jacket from the side and put it on.

From the time the two of them had started interacting with each other, this was the first time she felt the man in front of her…

… was so intense and domineering, and he always seemed to stand by his word.

But she…

… still liked him a lot.

…

The five of them ordered six dishes. Because there were many people in the restaurant, the service was very slow. Yu Manxi wasn’t familiar with them, so she kept feeling that the three people opposite her were staring at her, making her feel inexplicably nervous.

“Miss Yu, did you just move into the building?” Fu Chen held a teacup and sipped the tea gently.

“Yes.” This person was Fu Sinian’s third uncle. How could Yu Manxi not be nervous?

“What do you do for work?”

“I just returned to China, so I’m still looking for a job.”

“Are you on good terms with Sinian?”

Yu Manxi’s heart skipped a beat. His questioning tone made it seem like she was meeting his parents.

“We’re alright,” she replied ambiguously.

“Third Uncle, have some tea.” Fu Sinian poured tea for Fu Chen, interrupting their conversation.

The waiters served the dishes one after another. Because Fu Sinian’s seat was at the spot they were serving, the dishes were conveniently situated for him. But the plates were very big, and the table soon became full. There were two plates piled directly at the serving spot, and Fu Sinian had to move himself and his tableware an inch toward the inside.

Yu Manxi was eating with her head lowered. When she felt him move over, she instantly tensed up.

Their arms inevitably brushed against each other. Even her breathing became careful, and she chewed and swallowed her food even more slowly. She liked spicy food, but she had a cold and a sore throat. After taking two bites, her face flushed red.

In fact, she shouldn’t be eating spicy food when she had a cold, but she just couldn’t help it.

Fu Sinian poured her a bowl of water. “Wash it before eating.”

“Okay.” Yu Manxi’s face flushed red, and she didn’t dare to look up at him at all.

Fu Sinian’s third uncle was still okay. He had been gentle and indifferent from beginning to end, but not his younger cousin. He kept staring at her, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Shen Jinye had really been seriously frightened recently. After Little Uncle kidnapped a minor, Big Bro actually started dating too?

After all, Fu Sinian was the eldest grandson of the Fu family, and there were people watching his every move. He had been mature and reserved since he was young. As the eldest brother, it was only right for him to take care of his younger brothers. If they asked Fu Sinian for help, as long as they didn’t do anything bad, he definitely wouldn’t reject anything he was able to do.

But he definitely wasn’t considerate…

When Miss Yu scalded her tongue just now, he was actually smiling?

If it were him, with Shen Jinye’s understanding of him, he would only say one word, “Stupid!” and tell him to get lost while at it.

F*ck, he must have thought that Miss Yu was very cute just now.

What’s going on this year?

The two iron trees at home bloomed simultaneously?

“By the way, Sinian,” Fu Chen suddenly said.

“Huh?” Fu Sinian looked up, and their eyes met. He had a bad feeling about this.

“You’ve been meeting so many young ladies recently. Is there anyone to your liking?”

Fu Chen spoke leisurely. Yu Manxi choked on a mouthful of chili and coughed until her tears flowed..
