Spoiled By My Ex-Fiance's Uncle
Chapter 340: Beware of Green Tea

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Beware of Green Tea

Fu Shiyan lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, his voice indifferent, "Thank you."

After speaking, he slowly and elegantly continued eating the other dishes, but he did not touch the curry shrimp.

Ruan Qingqing awkwardly curved her lips, carefully wiping her pale fingers.

She spoke softly, "During the years you weren’t here, An Yan had a tough time, especially when busy. I would pick up Anan and Yanyan on her behalf."

Fu Shiyan put down his chopsticks, "Yanyan really trusts you."

Ruan Qingqing nodded, "Yes, previously at Bogelin Manor in Country C, I was responsible for her meals and daily care.

During that time, she was blind and deaf. It wasn’t easy.

When she was rescued from the high seas, she had lost too much blood.

The first time I saw her, my initial thought was she looked like a corpse, her face utterly devoid of any color.

I cried right then, not knowing why, just feeling deeply pained for her."

Upon learning she was pregnant, I kept changing recipes to nourish her body with food.

I didn’t know her background or identity, only that Gu Chengming cared deeply for her, and later found out that Gu Chengming was actually imprisoning her."

And then later, when you came to rescue her, that fierce battle was truly terrifying but fortunately, it ended without any mishaps, and everyone safely returned to Hua Country."

An Yan had an accident during the late stages of her pregnancy. After giving birth, hearing that something had happened to you caused her major bleeding, nearly costing her life.

These past five years, everyone believed you were gone, but only An Yan was steadfastly convinced you would return.

Her life has been extremely hard all these years, acting both as father and mother. I feel saddened for her.

Mr. Fu, you must not fail An Yan’s heartfelt trust."

Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan felt he had been overthinking.

According to the "Comprehensive Guide to Schemers" that Anan and Yanyan had downloaded for him, green teas often play the victim and belittle others, but Ruan Qingqing was merely emphasizing An Yan’s hardships without highlighting her own merits.

He nodded slightly, "I won’t fail her. Thank you for your help to Yanyan."

Ruan Qingqing smiled, "An Yan took me out of Country C, giving me an opportunity to establish roots in Hua Country. I now have a respectable job, stable income, and a happy life. All this is thanks to An Yan. I’m very grateful to her. In comparison, my help to An Yan is insignificant. Just let me know if there’s anything I can do for you; I’ll do my very best."

Fu Shiyan softly acknowledged.

At that moment, An Yan and Fu Jinqiao returned.

Fu Shiyan and Ruan Qingqing both stood up to give up their seats to the two women.

Ruan Qingqing said with a smile, "The shrimp is already peeled. Please eat."

Fu Jinqiao picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, "Qingqing, you’re really kind. You even peeled the shrimp for us. Make sure you eat plenty too!"

Ruan Qingqing laughed lightly, "Sure."

After the meal, the four of them left the restaurant.

An Yan asked Ruan Qingqing, "Are you going back to the studio later?"

Ruan Qingqing shook her head, "I have an appointment with a client at 2 PM at Jiudao Cafe."

"What about your car?"

"Don’t ask. It was rear-ended this morning. Pretty bad. I’ve sent it to the car shop, and it might take a few days to get it back."

An Yan checked the time, and it was already half-past one, barely making it on time.

She looked at Fu Shiyan, "Shiyan, could you give Qingqing a ride? I need to take Jinqiao back to the old house, and it’s in a different direction."

At An Yan’s request, Fu Shiyan nodded in agreement.

Ruan Qingqing quickly waved her hands, "No, no, it’s not convenient."

An Yan smiled lightly, "Shiyan is heading back to Fu Corporation, so it’s on the way. You should go."

Fu Shiyan opened the car’s rear door, "Get in."

Ruan Qingqing, feeling somewhat embarrassed, nodded and got into the vehicle.

Fu Shiyan closed the door, walked around the front of the car, and settled into the driver’s seat.

He rolled down the window, looking at An Yan, "Will you find me after dropping off Jinqiao?"

An Yan hooked her lips into a smile, "Alright."

After giving An Yan a deep look, Fu Shiyan started the car and drove off.

During the drive, Ruan Qingqing didn’t talk much either, just thanking Shiyan and saying goodbye in a well-mannered way when she got out of the car.

Watching Fu Shiyan’s car drive away, she then turned and headed towards the cafe.

Meanwhile, An Yan took Fu Jinqiao to the old house.

Fu Jinqiao leaned closer to An Yan, "Just now, when we came out of the restroom and were heading to the restaurant, I saw Qingqing seemed to be talking to the Younger Uncle. She doesn’t have any ideas about him, does she?"

An Yan chuckled lightly, "After everything that’s happened, do you think everyone looks like a white lotus and green tea?"

Fu Jinqiao nodded, "Indeed, I’m now particularly afraid of women who get close to the men in our family. Every single one of them, I must overthink even a simple conversation."

An Yan burst out laughing, "What about your third brother? How many lines does he have to exchange with actresses every day?"

Fu Jinqiao sighed, "Ah, it bothers me so much, but it’s a part of his job! Thankfully, the kissing scenes he films with actresses are all simulated. Otherwise, my jealousy would be endless. My favorite roles he plays are the villain and the eunuch. The villain emphasizes his ruthlessness and decisiveness in moving the plot, and the eunuch is best, free from female allure."

After hearing this, An Yan laughed so hard that she shook, "Stop talking, I’m going to die from laughing."

Fu Jinqiao got even more excited upon hearing this, and enthusiastically continued, "My most, most, most favorite scene of his was when he first debuted playing the eunuch Xiao Chengzi. That orchid finger gesture, that tightened voice."

She cleared her throat and in a falsetto, said, "I’m just a castrated man, unworthy of Her Majesty the Empress’s pity. Look how perfect, the Empress was instantly mollified."

"Hahahaha..." An Yan found Fu Jinqiao so adorable, "Wait till your third brother comes back, ask him to practice this line with you again."

Fu Jinqiao exclaimed, "Oh no, I have a fire within me that he needs to extinguish."

Some people play cute, but Fu Jinqiao is genuinely adorable.

Her facial expressions and body movements are particularly rich, and she is always funny—truly a source of joy.

Everyone likes a girl like this; her third brother really found a treasure.

A life with Fu Jinqiao would never be lonely.

An Yan looked at her, "Your third brother is incredibly fortunate to have married you."

Fu Jinqiao tilted her chin up, "Exactly, the Mu family’s ancestral grave must be emitting blue smoke by now."

She realized belatedly that her comment might have offended An Yan and quickly corrected herself, "Marrying you is like the Fu family’s ancestral grave emitting blue smoke."

An Yan was impressed by her quick response, "Then it’s mutual admiration."

The two joked and laughed, and the car soon reached the Fu family old house.

Before getting out of the car, Fu Jinqiao pondered and then voiced her concerns, "Younger Auntie, my Younger Uncle is very appealing. Even though he keeps himself clean, some flamboyant butterflies don’t bite but are annoying. I’m just kindly and friendly reminding you, always be cautious of others."

An Yan responded with a sound, "You are right. But about Qingqing, I think she is quite nice. Initially at Bogelin Manor in Country C, she helped me escape. Do you know what happens to those who offend Gu Chengming? It’s a dead end. These past years, she’s been quite independent and self-respecting. If Qingqing really were that kind of person, then I have completely misjudged her."

Fu Jinqiao nodded, "I’m just overly sensitive now, probably because the fortune I drew at the temple last time wasn’t great, so I’m being extra cautious."

An Yan remembered the interpretation Master Jingyi had given Fu Jinqiao, which warned her to beware of villains clinging close, not to fall ill, and only then could she turn crises into safety.

Another interpretation was that she won’t kill Boren, but Boren would die because of her.

An Yan paused for a moment and nodded, "You’re right, it’s good to be cautious."

Watching Fu Jinqiao run into the mansion, An Yan drove away from the old house towards Fu Corporation.

She parked her car in the underground garage and walked to a relatively new elevator beside the president’s private elevator, entering her fingerprint to access it.

This elevator, which An Yan had previously ordered, went directly to the president’s office lounge, or accurately, the chairman’s office lounge.

However, after Shiyan returned, the office signboard had been changed.

An Yan felt there was no need to change it; just switching Shiyan to chairman would have sufficed, but he disagreed, preferring just to be the president and work for his wife.

In Shiyan’s words, it was to give An Yan an abundance of security.

If one day he upset An Yan, she could kick him out on a whim, turning him into a penniless man.

The elevator doors opened, and An Yan walked into the lounge.

She placed her handbag on the table, ready to enter the office.

As she approached the door, she heard some noises outside.

Peering through the peephole, her eyes narrowed coldly.
