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

Xu Yuanfei did stay in the store to take stock of the day's turnover. After checking the accounts, she was about to turn off the lights and leave when someone walked in. Seeing the clothes he was wearing, she knew that he was from the Jing family. She thought that Jing Hanchuan had returned, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Miss Xu, Sixth Master asked me to deliver this."

There was an anti-inflammatory spray and vitamin B in a pharmacy bag. "Please thank him for me."

"If you want to thank him, you might as well tell him in person."

Xu Yuanfei blinked. Why isn't this Jing family member acting according to routine?

Chuanbei Jing residence…

When Jing Hanchuan arrived home, it was already past seven in the evening.

"Welcome back. Have you eaten?" A certain big shot was watching Central TV Department 1's 'Focus Interview'.

"Not yet."

"You sent her home, but you didn't even have a meal with her?" A certain big shot was surprised. "Then, why did you go out?!"

"To send her back," Jing Hanchuan replied straightforwardly. There was nothing wrong with this answer.

"…" A certain big shot was at a loss for words. "There are still some leftovers at home. You can either heat them up or make food yourself."

"Have you fed the fish?" Jing Hanchuan looked at the fish tank.

"You only know how to fiddle with these fish all day. You should spend the rest of your life with them."

"Goldfish only live for six to seven years. They can't accompany me for the rest of my life."

A certain big shot almost threw the remote control at him. What nonsense is this little bastard spouting? He's actually starting to talk back.

Jing Hanchuan went straight to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles.

"Hanchuan, tell me honestly. Do you like that girl?" A certain big shot had appeared at the kitchen door at some point.

Jing Hanchuan was silent.

"You've been going out a lot recently. I've gotten someone to investigate. Whenever you go out, you'll most likely go to the dessert store beside the teacher's college. Your mother and I have asked around for you. That girl doesn't have a boyfriend.

"She didn't understand my temper well, but she wasn't afraid of me and didn't run away in panic. Her mental fortitude is pretty good.

"This girl might be fated with our family. She looks a little familiar."

Jing Hanchuan tilted his head and looked at him. "We just have a store-owner-customer relationship."

"What store owner and customer? As long as you want, everything can be developed. I was your mother's fan before. Later, didn't we create a good story?"

"Yes, a good story of kidnapping her home," Jing Hanchuan complained directly.

A certain big shot stroked his mustache. "But when that girl faced you, she was very nervous. I think she almost bumped into you without even noticing it. Have you bullied her before?"

Jing Hanchuan stirred the noodles in the pot and ignored him.

He didn't expect a certain big shot to say such shocking words next.

"It's fine to bully her a little, but don't be ruthless. Just take responsibility. The Fu family is so lively. Our house is really deserted…"

Jing Hanchuan felt helpless. "I don't have that kind of relationship with her. You really scared her this time."

"Who exactly scared her? We were chatting nicely before. But when you came back, her tongue was scalded. You still have the cheek to say that?"

Jing Hanchuan knew very well that he couldn't reason with his father, who was shameless and good at sophistry, so he didn't continue talking.

At this moment, Mrs. Jing, who had just taken a shower, came downstairs and heard sounds from the kitchen. "Hanchuan is back?"

"Yes," a certain big shot replied.

"I thought he wasn't coming back tonight and was preparing to get someone to lock the door."

Jing Hanchuan was expressionless. These are my biological parents.

When he washed up and returned to his room, he lowered the projector screen at the side of the room and was about to find a movie to watch when he noticed an unread message on his phone screen.

Usually, when Fu Chen and the others looked for him, they would make more calls if there was an emergency. He didn't have the habit of carrying his phone with him.

He clicked on the WeChat message. It was from Xu Yuanfei.

[Thank you for the medicine. My mouth is much better now.]

[Are you resting?]

The messages came at around eight. It was already half past nine.

Jing Hanchuan suddenly thought of her mouth. Her lips were light in color, but they had been red from the hot tea, as if she had applied the most gorgeous cinnabar. He had just taken a shower, so water dripped from the ends of his hair onto his shoulders or down his neck from his chin…

The droplets flowed down his throat, making him feel a little itchy and dry.

He was thinking about how to reply. He typed and deleted the message three or four times. Just as he was about to send the message, another message came.

Xu Yuanfei: [It's late. I won't disturb you anymore. Thank you for your medicine. Good night.]

Jing Hanchuan's fingers stiffened. He deleted the edited message word by word and stared at his phone…

He was a little unhappy!

In the end, he only replied with two words: [Good night.]

At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was lying on her bed, feeling depressed. After she had waited so long for a message, only a good night came. She sighed.

At this time, there was a knock on her door. "Big Sis, are you asleep?"

"Not yet!" Xu Yuanfei got out of bed and opened the door. A big boy in pajamas was standing at the door with a laptop. "Help me read my thesis."

"You're an engineering major. I can't understand your thesis."

"I don't expect you to understand. Check if there are any grammar errors or typos. The professor is too strict. He said that if there are low-level mistakes like typos, he won't let me participate in the pre-defense."

"Give it to me." The undergraduate thesis was only more than 8,000 words, so it didn't seem that troublesome.

"By the way, Big Sis, where did you go to deliver your desserts today? Did that family make things difficult for you? Or did you encounter some pervert?"

"No."

"You were out for a long time this time. I don't have much to do recently, so I'll go to your store to help. Leave the deliveries to me. It's not safe for a girl like you to do deliveries. It's hard to guarantee that you won't meet someone with ulterior motives. What if they grope you?"

"Who do you think would dare to grope me?"

"Just in case. I'll go to your store to help in the future."

"There's really no need," Xu Yuanfei refused firmly.

It would be terrible if he came.

Xu Yuanfei took his laptop, sat at her desk, and read every word for him. The boy pulled over a chair, sat at the side, and played a mobile game. "Big Sis, Dad and Mom can't go to the Fu family's wedding. Are you coming with me?"

"I have something to do." Xu Yuanfei would be busy making desserts and wouldn't have time to eat at the banquet at all. Yu Manxi had even specially sent her a separate invitation, but she really wouldn't have time to sit.

"Then, am I going alone?" The sound of killing in the game kept coming from his phone. "I heard that the Jing family will be there."

Xu Yuanfei's fingers, which were moving the mouse, paused. She had long known this.

But she was going to help at the back, so the Jing family attending the wedding banquet naturally had nothing to do with her.

"I'm planning to bring a brick there. If I see Jing Hanchuan, I'm planning to ambush him and smash his head. What do you think?"

Xu Yuanfei coughed twice. "It's the Fu family's big day. It won't be good for you to do this."

"That's why I'm not bringing a knife!"

Xu Yuanfei gulped nervously.

"That guy was so arrogant in the past. I even fought with him a few times. It's just that I was young at the time and couldn't win against him. It's different now. I have to vent your anger back then for you."

"It was a long time ago. At the time, everyone was very young…"

"I hold grudges!"

"It's not good to see blood on a happy day."

"When I'm about to leave, I'll sneak up on him and beat him up."

Xu Yuanfei rubbed the mouse. "I heard that his parents are going too. A family of three… It probably won't be easy for you to make a move."

"Then I'll bring two more bricks." He smiled heartlessly.

Xu Yuanfei smiled bitterly. She knew very well what kind of person her brother was. Some things were really not meant to be said. She suddenly started to have a headache.

Don't start fighting at someone else's wedding. That would be too embarrassing.
