Chapter 788: Sixth Master’s First Date, Holding Hands, Flirting

Fu Chen accompanied Qiao Aiyun and the others to walk around the design exhibition for a long time. He arranged their food, drinks, and lodging personally. The next day, Yan Wangchuan told him that they didn’t want to trouble him too much and kicked him away.

But he would be completely free for the next few days. After Song Fengwan entered her second year of university, there were many core classes. Sometimes, she could attend classes from morning to night, and class would only end at nine in the evening. She didn’t have time for dates.

Duan Linbai dressed gorgeously all day. In Jing Hanchuan’s words, he was like a peacock. He was promoting the design exhibition everywhere and was extremely busy.

Thus, he could only go to the Jing residence to find Jing Hanchuan.

When he arrived in Chuanbei, he thought that with Jing Hanchuan’s temper, he would either be holed up in his darkroom developing photos or fishing in the cold.

But when he reached the door, he was informed that Jing Hanchuan wasn’t at home. “But Master and Madam are here. Third Master, do you want to come in?”

“No need.” Fu Chen didn’t want to interact with these two from the Jing family. They were too enthusiastic.

Once he entered, he probably wouldn’t be able to come out for at least two or three hours.

“Did Hanchuan go to the bird and flower market to buy fish?” After all, he definitely wouldn’t go out at this hour usually.

“No.”

“To the Pear Garden?” Fu Chen could only think of these few places.

“No.”

Fu Chen looked at the smug expression of the Jing family member and smiled. He thought that his reminder last time should have worked. Jing Hanchuan finally knew how to take the initiative to attack.

When he met Tang Wangjin yesterday, Tang Wangjin had even mentioned the Jing family and said that he had given them invitation cards. Since the two of them were at home and Jing Hanchuan wasn’t around, he must have asked Xu Yuanfei to go to the design exhibition.

When he got into the car, there was still a faint smile on his face.

Although the two of them usually criticized each other when they met, they also hoped that the other party would do well. So Fu Chen naturally wished him well that he could find someone he liked.

But it was inevitable that he wanted to mess with him. After all, Jing Hanchuan usually thought too highly of himself. No one could grasp his weak spots, and he rarely suffered. He also wanted to see how flustered and helpless he would be.

“Third Master, where are we going now?” Shi Fang looked at the person behind him.

“Go straight to the company.”

Shi Fang nodded.

On another side…

When Xu Yuanfei arrived at the place she had arranged to meet Jing Hanchuan, she saw a man in a black down coat standing tall and elegantly under a cedar tree far away.

His hands were casually placed in his pockets, and his posture wasn’t very straight. He looked lazy and casual, and his eyebrows were furrowed. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and the cold wind blew his hair, making it slightly messy…

He was still unrestrained and uninhibited.

Perhaps because he saw Xu Yuanfei from the corner of his eye, he turned his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of wickedness.

“You’re here so early.” Xu Yuanfei had woken up early in the morning to wash her hair, dress up, and put on some light and exquisite makeup. She wanted him to be dazzled, but she couldn’t let him see how eager she was to go on a date with him. The thoughts of girls were always simple and complicated.

They had arranged to meet at ten in the morning, and Xu Yuanfei had even arrived more than ten minutes early. But she didn’t expect him to be waiting already.

She ran over, breathing out white air. Her face was red, and her voice was soft, making Jing Hanchuan’s throat feel a little dry and itchy.

“I just arrived too.”

This place was only a ten-minute walk away from the design exhibition. The two of them walked side by side, with a slight distance between them.

The Jing family members looked at the two of them quietly from afar. Speaking of which, Sixth Master is quite good at lying through his teeth. He clearly waited for almost twenty minutes, yet he actually said that he just arrived?

The two of them were wearing black down coats today, so they actually looked a little like a couple. Jing Hanchuan’s gaze landed on her slender legs. “Are you cold?”

“Huh?” Xu Yuanfei followed his gaze and looked down. “I’m not cold.”

These are thick woolen leggings. I even have a heat pack. How is it cold?

But Xu Yuanfei knew that he was paying attention to her. She inevitably felt a little anxious and reserved, and she almost couldn’t even walk.

The snow had just melted. When it landed on the ground, it melted and froze into ice. The more careful and reserved she was, the easier it was for her to make a mistake. She slipped and fell forward.

Xu Yuanfei was confident and subconsciously reached out to steady herself. But just as she leaned forward, her hand was grabbed.

“Slow down.”

“Thank you.” Xu Yuanfei was annoyed. It was really easier to make mistakes the more anxious she was.

When she came back to her senses, she found that Jing Hanchuan was still holding her hand. The man’s palm was dry and gentle, and his grip wasn’t too strong. He was just holding her.

Xu Yuanfei’s fingers moved. Her rationality told her that she should pull her hand out, but her emotions told her that she was unwilling to let go. So in the end…

Her fingers moved, closed gently, and held his hand back.

Jing Hanchuan originally thought that she might have shaken him off, but he didn’t expect her to hold his hand gently. This feeling was a little strange. His palm was hot, and all his senses seemed to be focused on that spot…

It was as if even the slightest movement of her fingers would be infinitely magnified.

He was always a little careful.

The cold wind blew, but they didn’t seem to feel any coldness.

When they arrived at the exhibition hall, it was packed, and there were many unique-looking people in the art industry. There was no lack of celebrities wearing masks inside. The two of them entered from the side in a low profile and tacitly followed the few people in the exhibition area to browse slowly.

Regarding art, they were at the surface level of appreciation, and it was impossible for them to say how great they were.

But from beginning to end, their hands never let go.

How could Xu Yuanfei be in the mood to look at the exhibition’s works? Her eyes were full of a certain someone.

His palm wasn’t hot, but it was warm and humid. The heat drilled into her heart bit by bit, making her flustered and even a little restless.

“There are many people, so we might get lost.” Jing Hanchuan’s tone was normal, relaxed, and calm.

“Okay.” Xu Yuanfei’s voice became softer and softer.

The two of them were too low-key. Occasionally, someone would stop and take a few more glances at them. They were just like an ordinary couple, so these people didn’t pay much attention to them.

The Jing family members didn’t have tickets, so they squatted outside and chatted with the security guards.

This weather is really f*cking comfortable.

Sixth Master is holding a girl’s hand on a date inside, and we’re drinking snow in the cold outside?

Is there anything more torturous than this?

On another side…

After Fu Chen went to the company, he received a few clients and discussed business.

“Third Master, I’ll send someone over to discuss the details with you.” A man stood up and shook Fu Chen’s hand with a smile.

“You’re welcome anytime.” Fu Chen also got up. “Want to have lunch together?”

“No thanks, I still have something to do. I’m going to see Master Tang’s design exhibition.”

Fu Chen nodded with a smile. To be honest, there were not many people who understood art, and many of them just went to join in the fun. It seemed that this would make them look like classy people.

The man guessed Fu Chen’s thoughts and smiled awkwardly. “I don’t understand those things either. I just happened to find out that Master Xu might be going today. If we can meet by chance, it’s not bad to become familiar.”

“Master Xu?” Fu Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

“Your Fu family has a lot of connections, and Old Master Fu has a good relationship with the Xu family. It’s easy for you to get to know Master Xu, but we…” The man was quite frank.

“Who did you hear that from?”

“There’s always gossip. Okay, I’ll get going first…”

After bidding farewell, Fu Chen rubbed the prayer beads in his hand and seemed to be thinking about something.

He licked the inside of his cheek with the tip of his tongue and pondered for a moment before sending Xu Yuanfei a message. He had once bought desserts for Song Fengwan online, so he had her contact info.

Xu Yuanfei’s phone was in her bag. Coupled with the melodious music playing in the design exhibition hall, her heart felt light and fluttery, as if it could fly. She didn’t notice the vibration of her phone at all.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a long down coat strode into the exhibition hall with his wife.

The Jing family members standing at the door were stunned silly.

F*ck, isn’t this…

We have to hurry up and inform Sixth Master. If they bump into him, wouldn’t it be awkward?

Master Xu reached out to take off his sunglasses. “Are those people at the door from the Jing family?”

“It seems so.”

“Enemies are really bound to meet on a narrow road. It would be great if I could meet that brat Jing Hanchuan. I haven’t seen him in a long time. We can even have lunch together and…” He smiled. “… catch up.”

The woman beside him smiled helplessly. She felt that it was common for children to fight and bleed. She didn’t understand why her husband took it to heart and hated him for more than twenty years.

Actually, Jing Hanchuan knew to carry their daughter on his back to see a doctor back then.

At the very least, he was responsible and dared to take responsibility.

Fu Chen didn’t receive Xu Yuanfei’s reply for a long time. He frowned slightly. He had already informed her. If they were caught, it wouldn’t be his fault.
