Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

when jing xingyao left in the afternoon, jing hanchuan and xu yuanfei were both resting. due to the time difference, the two of them were still not used to the lifestyle in the country.

although it was already autumn, the heat did not decrease. there was only a slight breeze that could not dissipate the dryness.

the two of them had arranged to meet at the entrance of their high school. it was class time now, so there was no one at the school gate.

as soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw a familiar straight figure. his eyes were not particularly heavy, but the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned. he seemed to be smiling, but not smiling. his eyebrows were deep.

when he became serious, he was intimidating.

at this time, he was standing in front of a milk tea shop with two cups of drinks in his hands. when he saw her coming over, he welcomed the light, and his whole body was so gentle that it seemed like it was covered in broken light.

"milk tea, lots of sugar, lots of pudding, no ice. you should drink less cold tea."

"thank you," he said. jing xingyao reached out to take it. he actually remembered his taste. " where's my stuff? "

"you're in such a hurry to leave?"

the sun was glaring and she squinted her eyes. " i still have something to deal with ... "

suppressing the last part of her voice, he took a step forward, scaring her so much that she shrank back. however, a certain person's steps were big. he took a big step and reached out to cover the top of her head, shielding her from the scorching sun.

she only felt a shadow fall in front of her eyes, and her vision widened, but the distance between the two of them also narrowed.

"it's such a hot day and you didn't bring an umbrella?"

"i forgot. thank you. actually, the sun isn't that strong. it's already autumn." jing xingyao turned his body to the side and avoided his hand.

"who told you that i'm here to shade you from the sun?"

fu qinyuan turned his back to the sun, and she was wrapped in his shadow.

she frowned slightly. wasn't he shielding her from the sun? then he ...

" i saw you squinting your eyes. i was worried that you ... "

"you can't see me clearly."

" i remember that you were a little short-sighted back in high school. do you see very clearly now? " afraid that jing xing couldn't see him clearly, he inched closer to him.

jing xingyao's heart tightened. he felt that the cup of milk tea in his hand was so hot that it burned his hand.

"is there anything else you need to deal with?"

"what?" jing xingyao's heart was in a mess because of his words. he had said that he had something to deal with just now, but it was just an excuse, so he didn't react in time.

"didn't you say you had something to deal with?"

jing xingyao could not find a good excuse, but fu qinyuan continued, "

"i didn't eat lunch."

jing xingyao glanced at his watch. " it's almost four o 'clock. you haven't eaten yet? "

" actually, i lied to you. i have work in the afternoon and i finished it during lunch break. " he said casually, " i just wanted to see you. "

jing xingyao hugged the milk tea and didn't know what to say.

there were some love words that were half true and half false, but any girl who heard this kind of words would also be unable to help but be moved. she would overcome all difficulties just to see you.

"your things are in my car. if you have something urgent to leave for, i'll bring them to you." fu qinyuan knew his limits.

there were some things that he had learned from his father. there were times when he couldn't be too radical. he had to learn to retreat in order to advance.

"then remember to eat." jing xingyao followed him to the car.

"there are a lot of restaurants near the school, so we can just eat something."

jing xingyao looked around. it was a very awkward time. no matter how early the restaurant was, it would still be close to five o 'clock. even if there was something to eat at this time, it would be the leftovers from lunch.

" i wanted to have dinner with you. it's the restaurant next to the school. we used to go there often. since you're so busy, i'll go there myself. "

he was playing both a roundabout tactic and an emotional card.

jing xingyao knew that it would take more than half an hour to drive from his company to his office. he had not even had lunch, so he would naturally be soft-hearted and forget how he had been tricked by him before.

"then i'll accompany you to eat something before leaving. it's not that urgent."

fu qinyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. " go ahead and do what you need to do. don't worry about me. "

he still had to pretend at this point.

"it's fine. i still have time for a meal."

*

the owner of the restaurant obviously knew them. it was not business time yet, but he had prepared a simple meal for them in advance.

"i'm not hungry. you should eat more." it wasn't mealtime yet, and jing xingyao drank half a cup of milk tea, so he couldn't eat at all.

"then, are you going to watch me eat?" fu qinyuan looked up at him.

"i'm not looking at you."

the boss had gone to the back kitchen, and there were only the two of them in the restaurant. they sat facing each other, and even if jing xingyao didn't want to look at him on purpose, their eyes would inevitably meet. hearing his words, he simply lowered his head and played with his phone.

"you've changed," fu qinyuan was eating slowly, not in a hurry at all.

"what?" jing xingyao was surprised. " how did i change? "

"you used to like to stare at me."

“……”

jing xingyao really wanted to cover his face with the milk tea. what nonsense was he spouting? when did she like to stare at him?

"when did i like that! stop your nonsense."

" yeah, i'm talking nonsense. i like to stare at you, okay? " he had said it so casually as if he was joking, but jing xingyao's face turned red instantly.

if she were to seriously argue with him, it would seem like she was being petty. she was so angry that she took two more sips of milk tea.

this caused the person opposite him to chuckle.

"i heard from my mom that you're going to start running the pear garden?"

"yes."

……

the two of them chatted on and off. they had grown up together and naturally knew what to say next, so it was easy for them to carry on the conversation. fu qinyuan ate very slowly, eating only a simple meal until the students were out of school.

the originally empty restaurant was instantly filled with many students in school uniforms. he then paid the bill and left.

when they left, it was a little crowded. he took her bag from her hand and raised his hand slightly to protect one side of her shoulder, almost as if he was holding her in his arms.

"you may leave."

"yes."

fu qinyuan's actions were very restrained and distant. he didn't make you feel violated, but the vague ambiguous feeling was very annoying.

he knew very well that he could only slowly test the relationship between the two of them, and it was important to know the right thing to do.

even when they left the restaurant, there were still many students outside. there were also many parents picking up their children. the street was packed with cars.

the two of them were walking side by side, so it was inevitable that they would bump into others. he didn't know what was going on ...

jing xingyao could no longer remember what had happened. he only knew that someone was holding his hand gently. his hand was dry but warm.

he held her slightly, using a strength that she could easily break free from, and wrapped her in an empty embrace.

you could feel the heat of his palm and the force that shackled you.

she lowered her head slightly and looked at the two of them holding hands, the meaning in her eyes unclear.

"slow down!" his voice came from the side, but it was quickly drowned out by the other voices.

after they got into the car, the two of them naturally let go of each other.

"i'm sending you home now?" fu qinyuan reminded her to put on her seat belt.

" let's go to pear garden. i'm going there for a walk. i have something to do. " she had just said that she had something to deal with, so she had to make this lie sound real.

"alright," he said.

in fact, from an outsider's point of view, it was normal for them to be closer. after all, they had grown up together. however, a certain someone was guilty.

when they arrived at pear garden, jing xingyao quickly asked him to stop before the car even reached the entrance.

"we're almost at the entrance." fu qinyuan frowned. was he that shameful?

"it's only two steps away, i'll just walk."

fu qinyuan knew what she was thinking, so he did not force her. " then walk slowly. "

"thank you," he said.

"goodbye."

it was a simple farewell, but jing xingyao's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. he felt that he was smiling when he said it.

this made her feel a little uneasy. last night, he kept asking her when she was free to meet him, but he left so easily today? he felt that something was wrong.

however, now that he had taken the item, there was no reason for them to meet again.

**

it was seven o 'clock in the morning, and the sky was still bright.

jing xingyao walked around the pear garden and took a taxi home. as soon as he stepped into the living room, he saw xu yuanfei busy in the kitchen.

"mom, we have guests?" jing xingyao glanced at the kitchen and found that there were many ingredients prepared.

"qin yuan has returned."

xu yuanfei treated him like half a son, and she could not hide her smile when she talked about fu qinyuan.

"what's he doing here?" jing xingyao almost blurted out, even a little anxious.

" what kind of nonsense are you saying ... " xu yufei looked at her suspiciously. " he brought something to visit your father and me. if he heard you, he'd think you didn't welcome him! " is that right?"

jing xingyao smiled awkwardly. indeed, there were some high-end gift boxes on the coffee table in the living room.

no wonder he said goodbye with a smile.

he was actually referring to this.

fu qinyuan was sitting next to jing hanchuan, fishing. he couldn't help but sneer, "

he didn't even want to send her to the entrance of the pear garden and wanted to get off the car after a distance? i can't be seen by others like this?

then he might as well come to her house openly.
