Chapter 18: You’re So Cute, You’re Also So Cute

“Fu Shiyuan, you…” Qiao Yanyan blushed as Fu Shiyuan held her tightly, refusing to let go.

“Wife, you’re so cute.”

Qiao Yanyan picked up the showerhead and sprayed water over Fu Shiyuan’s head.

Water got into Fu Shiyuan’s eyes, so he finally let go of Qiao Yanyan and wiped his eyes with his hand.

“Wife, you’re so mean. You actually sprayed me with water!”

“I’m going to spray more!” Qiao Yanyan aimed the showerhead and continued spraying him.

In the end, both of them were having so much fun that they laughed endlessly, their clothes soaked through.

After playing for a while, Fu Shiyuan no longer felt overheated. They both changed clothes and walked out wrapped in bathrobes.

They sat on the bed together, and Fu Shiyuan took a towel and helped Qiao Yanyan dry her hair.

“Wife, your hair smells so good.”

“Fu Shiyuan, help me blow-dry my hair.” Qiao Yanyan said, tossing the hairdryer to him.

“Okay, Wife.” Fu Shiyuan slowly began to blow-dry her hair. Qiao Yanyan felt so warm and cozy that she lay comfortably on the bed.

“Ouch, Shiyuan, you pulled my hair!”

Fu Shiyuan quickly put down the hairdryer and cradled her head, gently rubbing it. “Wife, no pain, no pain.”

They were so close and affectionate. Qiao Yanyan looked at Fu Shiyuan’s face, so near to hers, and bit her lip. No one had ever blown her hair before.

She held his head in her arms and looked at his face, smiling as she said: “Alright, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Shiyuan, thank you.”

“No need to thank me, Wife.”

Being this close to Fu Shiyuan, Qiao Yanyan’s face turned bright red. She let go of his head, flustered.

Su An’an arrived outside Qiao Yanyan’s room, just about to press the doorbell when a voice behind her startled her.

“An An, don’t press it.” said Chen Jingzhi.

Su An’an jumped from the sudden voice behind her. When she turned around and saw him, she patted her chest. “You scared me to death popping up behind me like that! Why can’t I press it?”

Chen Jingzhi leaned closer and whispered: “Do you know what they’re doing in there?”

Su An’an shook her head.

“You really are an innocent little girl. Let me tell you, they’re doing this and that, understand?”

Su An’an still shook her head.

“Aiya, why are you so pure?” Chen Jingzhi rubbed the top of her head.

“Don’t touch my head, Chen Jingzhi!”

“Why not? We grew up together and now you won’t even let me touch your head!” Chen Jingzhi tried to rub it again—vigorously.

Su An’an swatted his hand away and said seriously: “Alright, stop playing around. It’s almost lunchtime, I want to call them out to eat.”

“I told you, don’t bother them. Come on, let’s eat just the two of us.” As he spoke, Chen Jingzhi put his arm around her shoulders and walked her away.

“But my sister and Brother-in-law will be hungry if they don’t eat lunch…”

“Missing a meal or two won’t hurt.”

“But…”

“They’re being lovey-dovey in there… just don’t disturb them!”

This time, Su An’an finally understood. So her sister and Brother-in-law were inside…

Oh my god, how embarrassing.

“Wife, are you hungry?” Fu Shiyuan asked, touching his stomach.

“I’m alright. Are you hungry?”

“Mm, Wife, I’m a little hungry.”

Qiao Yanyan looked at the two of them, still in their bathrobes, and decided to call the front desk. She asked the hotel staff to bring food to their room so they wouldn’t have to go out to eat. After eating, they could take a nap.

They planned to go out again at three o’clock.

In less than ten minutes, the food was delivered.

The hotel dishes tasted pretty good, and Fu Shiyuan ate heartily.

After the meal, Qiao Yanyan called Su An’an.

When the call connected, she said: “An An, have you eaten yet?”

Su An’an was still in her room. She replied: “I have. Sis, have you?”

“Yes, we just finished. We’ll rest a bit and go out around three.”

“Okay, Sis. The sun outside is really strong anyway.”

“Mm, then contact me after three.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yanyan and Fu Shiyuan lay flat on their backs.

“Shiyuan, let’s take a nap for a bit, then we’ll go out and have fun.”

“Okay, I’ll do whatever Wife says.”

Seeing how obedient Fu Shiyuan was, she couldn’t help but tease him. “You trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you off?”

“No, you wouldn’t do that, Wife.”

“Silly, of course I wouldn’t.”

“I knew it. Wife would never. Wherever Wife goes, I go.” As he spoke, he moved closer to Qiao Yanyan and wrapped his arms around hers.

Qiao Yanyan patted his head. “Alright, take a nap.”

“Mm.” Fu Shiyuan obediently closed his eyes.

Back in the capital, Fu Shixu was in no mood to work. His mind was preoccupied with that man’s attitude toward Su An’an!

They actually went on a trip together?

It’s said that traveling is the best way to deepen a relationship. If that man beat him to it, then An’an…

No, he absolutely could not let that happen.

Fu Shixu dialed a number.

It was the bodyguard from the Fu family. His eldest brother, Fu Shiyuan, had gone on a trip, and there were hidden bodyguards secretly protecting him.

Fu Shixu asked directly: “Where are they?”

The bodyguard replied: “Boss, Eldest Young Master and his group are in Fancheng, staying at Huang Jiade Hotel under the Fu Group.”

“Anything unusual?”

“Nothing unusual. It’s just that after Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Madam got off the plane and entered the hotel room, they haven’t come out since.”

“Hm. What about the people traveling with them?”

“There’s nothing abnormal either. Miss Su and Mr. Chen Jingzhi had a meal together. After that, Mr. Chen spent fifteen minutes in Miss Su’s room before leaving. Now they’re each in their respective rooms.”

What? They had a meal together? Then they were alone in her room for fifteen minutes?

Unacceptable!

“Okay, got it!” Fu Shixu hung up the phone, then immediately booked the fastest flight to Fancheng on his phone and went home to pack.

Once his luggage was packed, he carried the suitcase out into the living room just as Fu Siya walked over to him. “Second Brother, where are you going? A business trip?”

Fu Shixu cleared his throat and said: “Going to see Big Brother. I’m worried he’s not used to traveling alone.”

“Oh, no need to worry about him. Eldest Sister-in-law is with him.”

“I’m afraid she won’t take care of Big Brother properly. Siya, I’m leaving. The flight’s soon.”

“Oh.”

Fu Shixu hurried off with his suitcase.

Fu Siya watched her second brother rush off like that and wondered—was he really going to take care of Big Brother? Then why didn’t he go with him in the first place when Big Brother left this morning?

So strange.

After a half-hour nap, Qiao Yanyan woke up. She got out of bed and looked at the still-sleeping Fu Shiyuan, her lips curving into a soft smile.

She opened the suitcase and took out the clothes she planned to wear later.

After changing, washing her face, and brushing her teeth, she was done getting ready.

She went to the bed to wake up Fu Shiyuan. It was time for him to get up and prepare as well.

“Shiyuan, wake up. Shiyuan.”

Fu Shiyuan opened his eyes. “Wife, what’s wrong?”

“Time to get up. We’re going out to play.”

“Oh.” Fu Shiyuan sat up and rubbed his eyes.

Qiao Yanyan had already laid out his clothes and pointed to them on the bed. “Shiyuan, change into your clothes.”

Fu Shiyuan took off his bathrobe and started changing. After putting on his top, he began looking around. Not finding what he needed, he asked: “Wife, where’s my underwear?”

“My underwear… I forgot to take it out.” Qiao Yanyan said, her face blushing.

She stood up, went to the suitcase, took out a pair of simple blue boxers, and tossed them to him.

“Thanks, Wife.”

Qiao Yanyan turned her back to him. “Hurry up and put it on.”

“Okay, Wife.”

Just as they finished changing and were about to go out, the doorbell rang.
