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

Actually, black wolfberries could also nourish the liver and clear the eyes. They were very good for the eyes.

But the next day, when Fu Chen was discussing business with Duan Linbai, he saw a certain someone holding a transparent thermos flask with a lot of black wolfberries in it. He couldn't help taking a few more glances.

This fellow usually doesn't even drink much mineral water. Why is he starting to drink water soaked with wolfberries in a thermos flask?

"Linbai, are you feeling well?" Fu Chen asked casually.

"I'm in great health!" Duan Linbai snorted coldly. "A friend gave it to me. I can't waste it."

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. It's most likely from Xu Jiamu. He receives a lot of gifts every year, but I haven't seen him say anything about waste.

"You've been very free recently. Little Sister-in-Law doesn't have time to talk to you?" Duan Linbai looked at the person opposite him.

"Her class organized an outing to sketch for two days and one night."

"Why didn't you go with them? In the past, when we went to school, we could even bring family members to such events. It's so exciting in the open…"

"You make it sound like you've done it with someone before," Fu Chen mocked.

Duan Linbai snorted coldly and lowered his head to look at the documents.

Actually, Song Fengwan had mentioned it to Fu Chen, but he knew very well that if he followed her, the other students would probably feel uncomfortable. Besides, dating didn't mean that they had to be tied together every day. It was also good to have their own space.

"I'm going to M Nation in a few days. We have to finalize all the details."

"M Nation?" Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. "Business trip?"

"Joe's design exhibition is about to start, and many of his works need to be airlifted. Not a single one can be damaged. I'm going there to keep an eye on them."

Fu Chen nodded.

Joe—Tang Wangjin's design exhibition would be held between December and New Year's Day. There were already huge posters outside the exhibition hall, and some websites and TV stations were also promoting this event.

Yu Manxi was already between six to seven months pregnant, so it was not convenient for her to move around. In addition, winter came early in the capital, and it snowed early in December. Fu Sinian didn't let her go out, and her due date was after the new year. Coupled with her annual leave, she took maternity leave in advance.

Her last interview before finishing all her work was about Tang Wangjin and the Qiao family.

Because they had cooperated well before, she had gotten the exclusive. Coupled with the fact that it was her last appearance before giving birth, the show created a small peak in viewership on the day it was broadcasted.

Yu Manxi's work went so smoothly this time thanks to Tang Jingci's cooperation, so she wanted to invite her to her house for a meal. But she was worried that she would decline, so she specially found Song Fengwan to be her go-between.

When Song Fengwan arrived at the design exhibition hall that day, the interior design of the hall had already been completely adjusted, and some of the exhibits had already been put on display. She didn't find Tang Jingci at the scene and asked the staff before finding out that she was in the back office.

She walked to the back. The office door was closed. She wanted to leave and wait outside, but she heard a conversation inside.

"… Miss Tang, I'm really counting on you. It's all for the children's sake."

This voice sounded inexplicably familiar.

"I'm really sorry. All the floor space has been designed and planned in advance. There really isn't any extra space."

"Isn't just a small space okay? They're just a group of children who love drawing."

"I'm sorry." From Tang Jingci's tone, there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

"I'm just helping them fight for a chance. I'm really sorry to disturb you."

"It's alright. I'll send you out."

…

With a rustling sound, the door opened, and Song Fengwan finally saw who was inside.

It was actually the girl in the wheelchair. When she saw Song Fengwan, she nodded and smiled kindly.

After Tang Jingci sent her out, she returned with a headache and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

Song Fengwan poured her a glass of water. "Why did she look for you? What happened?"

"She said that some blind and mute children love to draw. She wants me to make some space for them in this exhibition and help promote them. The design exhibition will be held in less than a week. It's unrealistic to open up an exhibition area for them now."

"They've looked for me three or four times recently, but there's nothing I can do."

Song Fengwan nodded in understanding. "You rejected her directly?"

"There's nothing we can do about it now. If she came a month earlier, we could still discuss it. But it's too urgent now. I'll talk to Dad and Linbai later.

"We can invite some children to view the exhibition or display a few works. But it's too difficult to open up an exhibition area.

"Do you know that girl? Are you familiar with her? Can you talk to her?"

Song Fengwan shook her head. "We've only met twice. They should understand. After all, they found the wrong time."

Tang Jingci nodded.

"You're dressed up so beautifully today because Cousin is coming?" Song Fengwan smiled and moved closer to her.

Tang Jingci had a bad allergic reaction before and had returned to the capital to recuperate for a period of time. Qiao Xiyan was also busy with something. After her body recovered, he went to the northwest to buy chicken blood stones. He also had to take care of the Jade Hall of Spring's business in various places, so he hadn't been able to spend much time in the capital.

"We have a dinner appointment tonight. Do you still remember?"

"Yeah." Tang Jingci nodded.

The two of them drove to the Software Garden condominium. When they arrived, Fu Chen had already arrived. Because the weather was cold and he was worried that it would be difficult to please everyone, Fu Sinian made hotpot at home.

As soon as they entered, a spicy and choking chili smell hit their faces.

"Can she eat such heavy food when she's pregnant?" Tang Jingci choked and coughed a few times.

"Come in and sit." Yu Manxi was wearing loose pregnancy clothes and called her in. "I don't know why, but I like spicy food even more now that I'm pregnant."

"Daughter?" Tang Jingci stared at her stomach. After all, there were rumors among the people that women pregnant with girls liked spicy food.

"I'm not sure." Yu Manxi smiled and brought her a glass of water. "Please wait a moment. We'll be able to eat soon."

Song Fengwan had already moved to Fu Chen's side and leaned against him. After saying a few words, she sat on the sofa and played with her phone for a while.

Previously, she had followed the wheelchair girl's Weibo, so when the girl posted new messages, there would immediately be a notification.

[I've already tried my best to communicate with them, but I still disappointed the children in the end.]

Her Weibo fans weren't very active, but there were around five to six hundred comments under one Weibo post. Some of them didn't understand what was going on, but some were very aggressive.

[Little Miss, you did your best. It's normal not to succeed. The children won't blame you.]

[I heard that the cost for the exhibition's advertisement spaces is in the millions. It's too difficult for them to give publicity for free. They have to earn money too.]

[They're preparing to return to China to make money. Those people in China are rich but stupid.]

…

But she didn't specify why. This Weibo post was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no waves at all.

Song Fengwan stared at her Weibo and felt very uncomfortable.

She didn't seem to have done anything and only stated a fact. But when she connected the causes and effects, it felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But she didn't tell Tang Jingci. On the way back, she even called Duan Linbai to discuss this matter. If Tang Jinci saw the comments under this Weibo post, she would probably feel uncomfortable.

As everyone knows, this issue still resurfaced later.

"Sinian, did you call Sixth Master?" Yu Manxi came out of the kitchen and asked Fu Sinian.

Jing Hanchuan's parents were overseas visiting relatives. At this moment, he was the only one at home. They had met a few days ago and had even arranged to eat hotpot together when they were free. Duan Linbai wasn't in the capital now, so he naturally couldn't come.

"Yes, but he said he had something to do and couldn't come." Fu Sinian's tone was as calm as usual.

"Did something happen?" Yu Manxi frowned. "It's a cold day, and he's alone at home. What can he do?"

Chuanbei Jing residence…

Jing Hanchuan was watching the replay of All Beings on TV. It happened to be the episode about Tang Wangjin. He glanced at his watch and tapped his fingers on his knee.

That person is already…

… five minutes late.
