Chapter 358: Chapter 358 I... I’m very nervous

Fu Chenlie detected the deeper meaning behind her words, tilted his head to look at him, his gaze unclear.

Wen Ran avoided his eyes.

The man’s lips curled slightly, his expression returning to normal before glancing at Xu Tong: "Do you need anything? If not, my wife and I are going to continue shopping, so we’ll be leaving now."

"You two go ahead." Xu Tong replied.

He gave a faint "Mm," intertwined his fingers with Wen Ran’s, lightly held her hand, and started walking.

Xu Tong watched their departing figures, took out her phone, and snapped a photo.

The friend beside her spoke up: "Tongtong, that man is so handsome. Who is he?"

"A friend."

"Really? I didn’t know you had such a handsome friend."

Xu Tong chuckled: "Actually, he’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend."

The other party nodded dramatically.

"Let’s keep shopping then," Xu Tong said, lifting her foot, then lowered her head to send the photo she’d just taken to a WeChat contact with a message—

[Ran into Mr. Fu and his wife while out shopping today. Their relationship seems to be getting better and better. Oh, by the way, last night at the Fu Group and Huasheng Technology’s partnership celebration banquet, Mr. Fu announced in front of everyone that he’s married. The reason was that President Tan publicly confessed to Mrs. Fu. Mr. Fu’s actions seemed almost like he was jealous. Are you really not worried at all?]

After sending the message, Xu Tong put her phone away.

When she and her friend entered a store, the other person responded.

[Tongtong, can you do me a favor?]

Without hesitation, Xu Tong replied: [Sure, let me know.]

...

Wen Ran glanced at her hand which was being held tightly by Fu Chenlie, looking at how their fingers were interlocked. A sweet smile spread across her lips: "Why are you holding me so tightly?"

He met her gaze and asked back: "Didn’t you dislike Xu Tong addressing you as Ms. Wen and not Mrs. Fu? I hold your hand this way to show her. What, you don’t like it?"

"When did I say I don’t like Xu Tong calling me Ms. Wen?"

"You didn’t say it out loud, nor did you even think it?"

Wen Ran froze for a moment, then snapped back into focus. Her eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement: "Do you need to know what I think deep down?"

The man raised his brows: "Why not?"

She curled her lips: "Nothing really, just thought you’re a bit nosy."

Fu Chenlie lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it, staring deeply into her eyes: "Madam, my parents will be arriving in Jiang City tonight. I’ll take you to the Fu Residence to meet them and have dinner, okay?"

"Your parents are coming back?"

"Yes."

Apart from surprise, Wen Ran’s emotions were mixed with worry: "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"Would it make a difference?"

"I didn’t have time to mentally prepare...I’m nervous, and I didn’t even prepare any gifts."

He gently squeezed her soft hand: "Gifts aren’t necessary. On a first meeting, it’s my parents who should be preparing something for you. As for mental preparation, there’s time before tomorrow—you can prepare as you wish."

Even though he said that, Wen Ran couldn’t help but feel anxious.

She often heard about the difficulty of handling relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. Adding to that, she knew very little about Fu Chenlie’s parents and couldn’t help but wonder—

What if his parents don’t like me when they meet me?

Fu Chenlie saw the unsettled look on her face, reached out to touch her cheek, and said: "Alright, stop overthinking. My parents both have great personalities. Besides, the woman I choose, they’ll definitely like."

Wen Ran muttered softly: "But I’m not someone you chose, I’m someone Grandma picked and pushed on you."

He didn’t expect her to retort like this, and his brows flickered with a trace of surprise. Then, with a light scoff, he replied: "Well, I’ve chosen you now. Isn’t that enough?"
