Spoiled By My Ex-Fiance's Uncle
Chapter 285: That Tomb Robber is My Younger Uncle?

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: That Tomb Robber is My Younger Uncle?

After the rain cleared, the streets of Banqiao Town bustled once again, the air mingled with the fresh scent of soil.

Mu Qianfan’s heart skipped a beat as he watched a tall figure weaving through the crowd ahead, a silhouette that was exactly like Fu Shiyan’s in his memory.

His expression changed abruptly, and he quickened his pace to follow.

The man was highly vigilant and disappeared in a flash.

Mu Qianfan was quite frustrated, as he had never seen anyone else whose figure resembled Fu Shiyan’s so closely in these past few years.

He was somewhat unwilling to give up and began to search aimlessly.

Fortune favors the bold—isn’t that right? In an alley, the two men collided face to face.

Mu Qianfan’s eyes resembled X-ray beams, scrutinizing Bo Leng up and down relentlessly, as if trying to see right through him.

Bo Leng frowned tightly, "What are you following me for?"

Mu Qianfan retorted sarcastically, "Then why are you following my sister?"

Bo Leng immediately denied it, "I wasn’t following her, just passing by and took an extra look, that’s all."

Fearing disbelief from the other side, he even lifted the bag in his hand, "I’m picking up something for a friend."

"Ah, I see! No worries, everyone has a sense of beauty." Mu Qianfan chuckled lightly, "My sister went out last night with some serum to save a not-so-pretty dog, but apparently, the dog thought it was so ugly that it frightened my sister, and then it ran away. I thought you were aware of the dog’s whereabouts and came to inform my sister."

Bo Leng’s mouth twitched violently. This man was truly calling him a dog.

So Mu Anyan didn’t abandon him; she was just looking for the serum?

He had only wanted to secretly see this carefree yet captivating woman one last time before leaving, but against his expectations, he heard such news and a flicker of hope sparked in his ashy heart.

Bo Leng blurted out, "Thank you."

Mu Qianfan: "... What are you thanking me for?"

Without explaining, Bo Leng stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, "That dog is actually not ugly at all, rather good-looking, and of a very fine breed too. Please tell her, the dog felt abandoned, that’s why it left heartbroken."

Mu Qianfan narrowed his eyes, "You seem to know a lot about that dog, you raised it, didn’t you?"

Bo Leng chuckled lightly, "Indeed, I did."

Mu Qianfan raised an eyebrow, "Is it a Husky?"

Bo Leng: "..."

Mu Qianfan looked at him triumphantly, "I knew it, it’s a big-hearted scheming dog!"

Bo Leng: "..."

Mu Qianfan examined him up close but couldn’t spot any inconsistencies; he was actually quite disappointed, as this man’s appearance and voice were completely different from Fu Shiyan’s.

He reached out towards Bo Leng’s face, "Have you had plastic surgery?"

Bo Leng stepped back abruptly, very wary, "I’m not interested in men." With that, he turned and quickly walked away.

As if Mu Qianfan was interested in men.

If it weren’t for his silhouette resembling Old Dog Fu so much, he wouldn’t have given him a second glance.

Mu Qianfan thought the man had two particularly dog-like qualities, just like Old Dog Fu— both extremely pretentious and dog-like.

Perhaps he was thinking too much, then he sighed lightly and left the alley, heading towards the small stir-fry house.

The small stir-fry house.

Fu Jinqiao watched the man come in, her lips pursed high, "Did you go out for half a pack of cigarettes? What took you so long? Were you looking at pretty girls?"

Mu Qianfan sat opposite Fu Jinqiao, his lips curving, "The pretty girl is sitting right across from me, who else could I be looking at?"

Fu Jinqiao then giggled, "Actually, I know I’m beautiful, you don’t have to keep saying it, it makes me embarrassed."

An Yan suppressed a giggle, cleared her throat, and handed over the menu, "Qianfan, see what else you’d like to eat? Jinqiao and I have ordered these four dishes."

Mu Qianfan looked over and added two meat dishes, "You two are too thin, eat more."

Fu Jinqiao blinked, "You should eat more too, it’s pretty tough."

An Yan chose selective deafness, ignoring what wasn’t her concern.

Since the four dishes they ordered earlier were ready, they were served quickly.

At the same time, the corn juice that Fu Jinqiao had ordered was also served.

Mu Qianfan poured drinks for An Yan and Fu Jinqiao, filling their cups first before pouring his own.

An Yan raised an eyebrow, "Jinqiao has trained you well, I get the benefits too."

Mu Qianfan smiled warmly, "You are my sister, and Jinqiao is my fiancée; both are precious to me."

Fu Jinqiao took a sip of the sweet corn juice and looked at An Yan, "Don’t worry, I won’t get jealous easily. Even if someone asks, ’If your sister and your fiancée were to fall into the water, whom would you save first?’ and Brother Three says he’d save his sister first, I wouldn’t get mad."

An Yan laughed, "Don’t worry, I can swim."

Fu Jinqiao laughed heartily, "I can too. I even took lessons specifically, just in case Brother Three faced such a dilemma. See how clever I am?"

Mu Qianfan couldn’t help but gently pinch her nose, "Cute."

An Yan curved her lips. This scene was so common and natural. Once, her Ayan used to pinch her nose like this, showing infinite doting.

Mu Qianfan, noticing An Yan’s thoughts, also pinched her nose, "What are you thinking about?"

An Yan shook her head lightly, "Nothing."

Mu Qianfan took a bite of his food, "I didn’t go out to smoke just now."

Fu Jinqiao suddenly found the food in her mouth less tasty, "Huh? Did you really go to check out some beauty?"

"No," Mu Qianfan explained, "I saw a man looking inside the restaurant from outside, so I went out to check. His silhouette resembled Old Dog Fu a lot. I confronted him in the alley, asking why he was following you. He said it was just an extra glance. I probed whether he knew where that ugly dog was, and surprisingly, he admitted that he owned it."

An Yan was surprised, "He said he owned that dog?"

Mu Qianfan nodded, "He said that the dog isn’t ugly but rather good-looking and of a fine breed. It ran away because it felt abandoned, left out of sorrow."

Abandoned?

And left out of sorrow?

This man really thought highly of himself; he had the antiserum but waited for her to suck out the venom, and he had the nerve to call himself sorrowful?

An Yan scoffed, "What a dog of a man!"

Mu Qianfan asked, "So Little Five, the one you saved last night wasn’t a dog but his scheming big dog, right?"

An Yan especially admired this about her Brother Three; often, he could concoct a whole saga with just a sentence or two.

She nodded, "Yes."

Fu Jinqiao pouted, "And you said you saved a dog, keeping even me in the dark. I’m going to be heartbroken now."

An Yan sighed lightly, "It’s mainly because it’s difficult to clarify in a short time, and I won’t be seeing him again. More importantly, I was worried about you guys thinking I was being unfaithful."

Fu Jinqiao’s eyes widened, "I wish you would change your affections immediately! You’ve suffered so much these past five years, we all see it and have been hoping you’d find a new boyfriend someday!"

An Yan looked down resolutely, "I won’t look for anyone. I’ll wait for Ayan to come back."

Mu Qianfan asked, "So the reason you saved him was because his silhouette resembled Old Dog Fu?"

In front of others, she could say that as a doctor, she couldn’t just watch someone die.

But in front of Mu Qianfan, she no longer hid her reasons, "That was part of it."

She recounted her encounter with Bo Leng, the conflicts with his accomplices, and what had happened the previous night.

Fu Jinqiao was impressed, "This Bo Leng is so handsome! He jumped into a tomb for you and even blocked a snake for you! My god! These days, there are many who admire you, but very few who actually risk their lives for you. Younger Auntie, shouldn’t you reconsider him?"

An Yan shook her head, "I won’t consider it."

Mu Qianfan furrowed his brows, "He has been tomb robbing for five years, and that’s also when Old Dog Fu disappeared. Do you think there might be a connection?"

Fu Jinqiao was quite shocked, "You don’t think that the tomb robber could be my Younger Uncle, do you?"
