Chapter 269: Third Master Is a Good Father, Niannian Is Jealous
Third Master likes silence. If this child cries throughout the flight, he will definitely break down.
Shi Fang stood up and hesitated about whether to change seats with Fu Chen. The child was lying in his mother’s embrace and was right next to Fu Chen. All of a sudden, the child stretched his leg, leaving a small footprint on Fu Chen’s black pants.
“I’m so sorry!” The woman apologized to Fu Chen.
“It’s fine.” Fu Chen raised his hand to dust his pants and then glanced at the child.
The child instantly stopped crying, stunning Shi Fang.?Third Master didn’t threaten the kid, did he?
“He seems to like you a lot.” Seeing that her child wasn’t crying, the woman wiped his tears away.
“How old is he?” Fu Chen and the baby were staring at each other.
“A little over five months.”
“Can I touch him?” Fu Chen saw that the child was fair, chubby, cute, and had bright black eyes. The baby looked at him unblinkingly, and his heart stirred slightly.
“Of course.” The woman smiled at him. “Sir, are you married?”
“Not yet.”
“Then, you must have a girlfriend.”
Fu Chen smiled and didn’t deny it. He reached out his finger to poke the baby’s face. To his surprise, the child opened his mouth, grabbed Fu Chen’s finger, put it in his mouth, and sucked on it.
When Fu Chen pulled his finger out of the child’s mouth, there was still saliva on it, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch violently.
But the child suddenly giggled at him.
Fu Chen was speechless.?He was just crying so much, but he’s actually laughing now? The world of children is too difficult to understand.
When they got off the plane, the mother smiled at Fu Chen. “I wish you a Happy New Year, and I hope you can marry your girlfriend soon.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re quite patient with children. You’ll definitely be a good father in the future.”
Shi Fang was waiting for Fu Chen in the corridor. Hearing this, he almost burst out laughing.?I can’t imagine what Third Master will look like holding a baby. He’s much older than Young Master Yuxiu and Young Master Jinye, but I’ve never seen him have any patience with them.
When he has to coax his child in the future, won’t that child’s living environment be a bit too difficult and dangerous?
But Third Master’s child did arrive a little early. Song Fengwan was still in university at the time, so the child spent a lot of time with Fu Chen. His personality was a little difficult to describe in just a few words…
In Duan Linbai’s words: “It’s already good enough that Fu Chen could bring the child up safely. Isn’t it normal for his child to grow up devious? Don’t ask too much of him.”
This was also something for later.
…
Fu Chen got out of the plane and turned off airplane mode on his phone. Before he could send Song Fengwan a message, Qian Jiang’s messages kept coming.
[Miss Song and Ms. Qiao went shopping.]
[She’s trying on clothes. She looks very beautiful.]
[She bought a dress, the kind that shows her calves. A man keeps staring at her.]
…
Fu Chen pinched the space between his eyebrows.?Three times the salary? I don’t even want to give him a single cent.
***
There were a lot of people gathered at the airport exit. All of them were holding either LED signboards or banners while constantly calling a certain celebrity’s name.
Fu Chen was wearing a mask. As soon as he left the exit with Shi Fang, a girl rushed over and nearly knocked over their luggage of Yuncheng specialties.
Shi Fang was pushing the luggage cart, so it wasn’t convenient for him to protect Fu Chen. The group of fangirls ran in a hurry to the space behind them and knocked into Fu Chen quite a few times.
He turned his head to look behind him. With his height advantage, he was able to see through the crowd. In the middle of the crowd was a female celebrity accompanied by bodyguards. The capital was freezing cold, but she was still bare-legged. Some fans were even holding DSLR cameras and were very professional.
“Third Master, this way.” Shi Fang pointed at the other exit. “She’s a celebrity who rose to fame last year. She’s acted in two hit TV dramas and has already jumped to being top celebrity from an unknown extra.”
Fu Chen furrowed his brows and raised his hand to dust off his clothes, looking displeased.
“I heard there’s a sugar daddy supporting her. Do you know who it is?
“Apparently, he’s from the Ning family, the Ning family that also lives in the compound. His father is also a popular figure in the capital. Many people in the circle know that they seem to be in a serious relationship. I don’t know if the Ning family will accept such a daughter-in-law.”
Fu Chen turned his head and glanced at Shi Fang. “Your annual leave is cut by three days.”
Shi Fang almost cursed out loud.?I just gossiped a bit. Is there a need for this?
***
Shi Fang first sent Fu Chen back to Yunjin Prime Manor before officially going on holiday. Uncle Nian had also returned to his hometown for Lunar New Year, and Fu Chen had already sent Huai Sheng up the mountain on the morning of the 28th of the last lunar month. The huge house looked empty in an instant.
Fu Chen put away his luggage and drove to the old residence with the local specialties that Old Madam Yan and Qiao Aiyun had asked him to give to his parents.
When he arrived at the old residence, only the two elders of the Fu family and Fu Sinian were in the living room meeting guests. There was a family of three sitting on the sofa, and they happened to be the Ning family that Shi Fang had mentioned earlier.
“… Fu Chen, you’re back.” The middle-aged man stood up.
“Big Brother Ning, Sister-in-Law.” Fu Chen greeted them. Although they were more than twenty years apart, they were still of the same seniority.
“Third Master.” The young man sitting at the side got up. Seeing Fu Chen always made him a little uneasy and nervous.
“Ning Fan?” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. He didn’t have a deep impression of him.
“Yes.” Ning Fan didn’t expect Fu Chen to remember his name and was a little flattered.
The Ning family had been developing well over the years, so he was considered one of the top people in the Beijing circle, but it was still hard for him to reach Fu Chen’s circle.
Fu Chen’s circle wasn’t big, and there were only a few people in it. The most low-key person in the group was Fu Chen, the most mysterious was Sixth Master Jing of the northern Sichuan Jing family, and the most unrestrained person was…
… naturally Duan Linbai.
But recently, people rarely heard any news about him, and his last Weibo post was on New Year’s Eve. In the eyes of his fans, he was already considered a ‘missing person’.
“Why did you bring so many things back?” Old Madam Fu frowned slightly when she saw the servants carrying bags of specialties into the house.
“I passed by Yuncheng and went to visit the Qiao family. I also saw Old Madam Yan, so I couldn’t reject her.” Fu Chen avoided the main points.
Fu Sinian, sitting at the side, took off his glasses and wiped them.?Passed by Yuncheng? I never knew that Third Uncle is so good at acting. The Oscars owe him a golden statuette.
“She just called me recently, and now she’s giving us so many things. How can this do?” Old Madam Fu was overjoyed to receive an unexpected call from her old friend. “How was she when you saw her?”
“She’s very good.” Fu Chen looked at the guests. “You chat with the guests first. I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes.”
“Go ahead.” Old Madam Fu told the servants to pack these things away.
Perhaps because he had just heard the gossip from Shi Fang, when Fu Chen glanced at Ning Fan, who was sitting at the side, he thought of the female celebrity.?The Ning family is quite conservative. Looks like there will be some commotions in the future.
As soon as Fu Chen left, not only did Ning Fan not feel relaxed, he instead felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Because Fu Sinian, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be sizing him up.?We aren’t even familiar with each other at all. Why is he staring at me like that?
The Ning family’s current status was all thanks to Old Master Fu’s discerning eyes and help back then. He had given Ning Fan’s father a chance, which allowed him to climb to his current position. He had the ability himself now, but it was Old Master Fu who had provided him with the opportunity. His family was very grateful, and they always paid a visit to the Fu family every year. Old Master Fu was their family’s benefactor.
The Ning family didn’t stay for long, and they left after chatting for a while.
“Old Master Fu, Old Madam Fu, there’s no need to see us off. It’s very cold outside.” The Ning family members smiled.
“Then, we’ll get Sinian to see you out.” Old Madam Fu smiled and motioned to Fu Sinian.
The Ning family didn’t decline and let Fu Sinian see them out. They lived in the same compound, so it wasn’t far away. After sending them out of the door, Ning Fan’s parents asked Fu Sinian to go back into the house, but Ning Fan instead stopped and chatted with Fu Sinian for a while.
“You kept looking at me just now. Do you have something to say to me?” Ning Fan spoke to him very politely.
“The person living opposite me…” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.
“She’s a close little sister of mine. When I helped her to move in, we made a lot of noise for a long time. I’m really sorry about that.” Ning Fan was a little apologetic.
“Little sister?”
“Yes, and I would like to ask you for a favor.”
“Hmm?”
“She hasn’t been back in the capital for long, so I’m worried about her living alone. You live opposite her, and as the saying goes, ‘close neighbors are better than distant relatives’. If anything happens to her, please help her out. If she does anything to disturb you, please be more understanding of her.” He was hesitant, but he still voiced his request.
“You mean you want me to take care of her slightly?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.
“That’s not what I meant. It’s just that…”
“Uncle and Aunt have gone far. You should go too.” Fu Sinian’s face was cold and expressionless from beginning to end.
“I spoke too much. Goodbye. There’s no need to see me off.” Ning Fan sighed.?I was really too stupid to actually ask Fu Sinian for help.
He was just worried that something would happen to Yu Manxi.If her neighbor could find out in time, he could help her.?I was really out of my mind just now. How did I dare to say that to him?
He sounds like he’s angry.
Ning Fan shook his head helplessly.
Fu Sinian watched the Ning family members disappear from sight, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.?Isn’t Ning Fan a bit too concerned about her? Even if he wants me to take care of her, it’s still not his place to say so.
