Chapter 627: The Illusion of Meeting the Parents-in-Law, Sixth Master’s Hardcore Flirting

Chuanbei Jing residence…

It was May, and the sun was setting, covering the living room of the Jing residence with a faint layer of rose gold. Xu Yuanfei picked up the cup in front of her uneasily and took a sip.

The tea was cold, and her entire body felt cold.

The two people opposite her were still staring at her with burning eyes.

“Erm…” She cleared her throat. “Uncle, Auntie, I’ve finished the delivery. It’s about time for me to leave.”

She had received a call that the Jing residence wanted some desserts, so she had delivered them personally.

She was just a delivery person. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t even be able to enter the Jing residence, yet she was invited in. She had sat here for almost half an hour, and the two people opposite her didn’t speak much and didn’t let her go. She was really a little nervous.

“Are you very busy?” Mrs. Jing asked.

When she spoke, there was even a cadence in her voice. It sounded like pearls and jade falling onto a plate, clear and melodious, gentle and pleasant.

“Not too bad.” Xu Yuanfei felt uneasy. She really wanted to stay longer, but she had only met Jing Hanchuan a few times. He was very guarded, so if she stayed like this…

He might even think that she did it on purpose.

When you care about someone, you can’t help thinking about many things. You would be afraid that he would misunderstand something and think that you were pestering him and deliberately stayed.

“You manage your own store?”

“We’ve also hired a few part-time student workers.”

“I heard that you make all the desserts yourself?”

“Not all of them. There are a lot of things to do. If I can’t handle it alone, someone will help.”

“You studied cooking?” Mrs. Jing seemed very interested in her.

“No, I studied Chinese. My family wanted me to be a teacher.” She rubbed the cup with her fingers.

For some reason, she had the illusion that she was meeting her future parents-in-law.

Mrs. Jing suddenly asked, “How many people are there in your family?”

Xu Yuanfei’s hands were trembling so much that she almost dropped the teacup. What does food delivery have to do with the number of people in my family?

“Five.”

“You have siblings?”

“I have a younger brother…” Xu Yuanfei’s voice was getting softer and softer.

“It’s good to have a younger brother. Do you have a boyfriend?”

Xu Yuanfei’s heart seemed to suddenly tighten and tremble uncontrollably.

A certain big shot coughed twice and whispered into his wife’s ear, “You’re too direct.”

“Then you ask!” Mrs. Jing harrumphed coldly.

A certain big shot stroked his mustache and said faintly, “Miss, are you single?”

The surrounding Jing family members almost burst out laughing.

Is there any difference?

Is what you’re asking not direct?

Xu Yuanfei smiled awkwardly. Her throat was so nervous that it seemed to be on fire, and her voice was hoarse and low. “I’m single… Uncle, Auntie, I still have something to do in my shop. I…”

“Hey, quickly turn on the TV. I didn’t watch Little Yu’s ‘All Beings’ yesterday, and it’s rerunning now,” Mrs. Jing suddenly interrupted.

Xu Yuanfei had finally mustered up the courage to leave, but she didn’t know what to say now.

After Yu Manxi became pregnant, her makeup was lighter than before. The title of this episode was explosive: [Bride Kidnapping].

***

Xu Yuanfei was sending a message to her brother with her head lowered.

[I’m tied down by something. Call me in ten minutes and tell me to go home. You have to remember.]

The other party quickly replied: [Okay…]

Just as Xu Yuanfei put away her phone, she heard the sound of a car outside.

“Hanchuan should be back.” Mrs. Jing smiled.

“Where did this kid go to fool around today? He wasn’t home all afternoon.” The big shot from the Jing family subconsciously touched the mustache.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Hanchuan slowly entered the living room. He wasn’t too surprised to see Xu Yuanfei.

But Xu Yuanfei sat up from her seat nervously, looking uneasy. “Sixth Master…”

“Dad, Mom.” Jing Hanchuan looked straight at his parents.

“I thought you weren’t coming back for dinner today.” Mrs. Jing smiled. “I specially ordered a few of your favorite desserts. This is Miss Xu. You two know each other, right?”

“Why did you keep her here?” Jing Hanchuan asked bluntly.

Their family never beat around the bush.

“We hit it off well, so we chatted a little more.” Mrs. Jing wouldn’t admit that she had deliberately made Xu Yuanfei stay. “Miss Xu, don’t stand there. Sit. What are you waiting for? Get Miss Xu a new cup of tea.”

“Auntie, there’s no need. I…” Xu Yuanfei really wanted to leave.

Jing Hanchuan wasn’t a fool. He knew better than anyone what his parents were thinking. In the confrontation between the two sides, Xu Yuanfei was clamped in the middle.

“Miss Xu, please have some tea.” The servant gave her a cup of hot tea.

“Thank you.” Xu Yuanfei took it with both hands.

After the few of them sat down, the atmosphere became increasingly awkward. She tried to hide her anxiety and kept wanting to mention leaving. But before she could say anything, she was always interrupted, making her even more anxious. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, but she forgot that it was hot and scalded her tongue.

“Hiss—” She endured the burning sensation on the tip of her tongue and tried her best to remain calm.

Jing Hanchuan turned his head to look at her. So careless.

“Miss Xu, are you alright?” Mrs. Jing asked worriedly.

“I’m fine!” Xu Yuan’s face flushed red. The tip of her tongue was so hot that it was numb, but she could only endure it.

Jing Hanchuan got up and entered the kitchen to get her an ice cube. “Put it in your mouth.”

The two people opposite them looked at each other. Our son actually knows how to care for others.

Xu Yuanfei felt more comfortable with the ice cube in her mouth.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you back,” Jing Hanchuan said bluntly, not caring at all what his parents thought.

***

Xu Yuanfei said goodbye to the Jing couple. She grabbed her bag and quickly followed Jing Hanchuan out. She was in a hurry, but she didn’t expect Jing Hanchuan to suddenly stop and almost bumped into him.

She had learned some martial arts and reacted quickly. The tip of her nose brushed past the back of his clothes, but her body didn’t touch him.

Jing Hanchuan looked down at her. “Why are you so close?”

Xu Yuanfei tightened her grip on the strap of her bag, not knowing what to say.

“You drove here?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll drive you back. Give me your car key.”

Xu Yuanfei was slightly stunned, and her pupils constricted slightly. She was obviously a little nervous.

Then Jing Hanchuan said, “Give me your home address. I’ll send you back.”

“No need. I’m not going home for the time being.” Xu Yuanfei lowered her head guiltily. How could she give him her home address so casually?

The surrounding Jing family members were stunned by this move!

F*ck, the last time he asked for her contact info was already very hardcore!

This time, he’s even more impressive. He actually wants to rush straight to the young lady’s house. Sixth Master, are you sure you just want to send her back and not know where she lives?

“You’re not going back? Or do you not want me to send you back?” Jing Hanchuan stared at her.

The distance between the two of them was still very close. The setting sun shone over. His back was facing the light, and his tall figure enveloped her in a shadow…

It felt so dangerous that it made her heart stop.

“I’m going back to the store to take stock of today’s revenue.” Xu Yuanfei found an excuse.

Jing Hanchuan stared at her for two seconds. His eyes were dark and bright, as if they could instantly pierce through her heart. In just a few seconds, it felt like years.

“Let’s go.” He turned around and continued walking out.

Xu Yuanfei’s car was an ordinary white Volkswagen model from a few years ago. It was well maintained.

Actually, she could have driven back after letting him send her to the door. But people always had their own selfishness. She hesitated…

She still followed Jing Hanchuan into the car.

Actually, the Jing family members also wanted to say that there were so many people at home, and they could send her back. There was no need for him to go personally.

***

Jing Hanchuan got into the car and adjusted the seat. From the corner of his eye, he saw dozens of little Fortune Cats placed on the dash cover. There was also a pink thermos flask beside him. He could tell that she used the car herself.

There was even a doll tied to the car key.

Xu Yuan had only taken a few steps out of the house when she put on her mask. Not only was it because of her allergy, but it also covered her face, which was red from nervousness.

Jing Hanchuan touched the car a few times and quickly started it.

As the engine started, the sound of the car trembled slightly. Xu Yuanfei’s heart was about to jump out, but Jing Hanchuan suddenly tilted his head. “Is there something in the car that makes you allergic?”

“N-no.”

Wearing a mask in the car was indeed a little strange. Jing Hanchuan kept staring at her, so she could only bite the bullet and take off her mask. Who knew if it was because of the hot breath she had exhaled inside the mask that made her face flush red or because of something else…

Her entire face seemed to be dyed red. It was so red that it was captivating.

“Come closer.” Jing Hanchuan looked at her.

“What?” Xu Yuanfei looked at him nervously.

“Open your mouth and let me see your tongue.”

“I’m fine now…” The space in the car was small, and Xu Yuanfei could almost hear her own heartbeat beside her ear. It was pounding against her ear, making her head dizzy.

“Let me take a look,” Jing Hanchuan insisted.

His attitude was domineering, but how could she stick out her tongue in front of an unfamiliar man…

“There’s really no need. I had an ice cube in my mouth just now, so it’s already much better. It’s just a little numb.”

Before Jing Hanchuan could speak, Xu Yuanfei’s phone suddenly vibrated. As if she had been pardoned, she answered the call without thinking…

“Xu Yuanfei, where are you? Come home for dinner! Do you want me to pick you up?”

It was a young man’s voice…

“No need. I-I’ll be back soon.” Xu Yuanfei hurriedly hung up.

Jing Hanchuan didn’t say anything else. He rubbed the steering wheel and started the car…

At my house, she kept saying she wanted to leave. It turns out that…

There’s a man waiting for her at home.
