Chapter 737 - 0727 Are you thinking about a woman?

Chapter 737: 0727 Are you thinking about a woman?

Fu Qixiu blinked his eyes, his curiosity piqued by Su Ran, his face full of eagerness to learn.

"What do you mean, sister-in-law? Can’t you make it a bit clearer?"

Su Ran looked at the person circling her non-stop, her face lined with annoyance.

"Can’t you sit still for a moment?"

Fu Qixiu immediately stopped circling, ingratiatingly saying:

"Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

Su Ran gave him an annoyed glance before she began:

"Didn’t you notice how those servants were particularly respectful toward me at the dinner table just now?"

Fu Qixiu stroked his chin in thought, that was true.

Compared to the superficial respect when he first arrived at the Fu family, there was a bit more sincerity at today’s dinner table.

Fu Qixiu fell silent for two seconds, then suddenly had a realization.

"Because they think Grandpa has acknowledged your status!"

"Congratulations, your brain has finally made a comeback."

Fu Qixiu couldn’t help but roll his eyes; he was just not keen on thinking, not really brainless.

"But this doesn’t really mean anything, right? After all, you and my brother...mmm, haven’t actually gotten married."

So in families like theirs, the title of Eldest Young Madam didn’t really mean much.

Su Ran nodded slightly, speaking indifferently, "That may be true, but others won’t think that way!"

"Hmm?" Fu Qixiu wore a puzzled look again.

Su Ran hooked her lips, the smile in her eyes growing deeper.

"In others’ eyes, the old man’s tacit approval of their addressing me as Eldest Young Madam is the same as acknowledging my status. Even if that’s not what the old man meant, could he explain that to everyone?

Even if he did explain, people would have to believe it! Since I am the granddaughter-in-law ’recognized’ by the old man, the rightful Eldest Young Madam of the Fu family can only be me, and those who want to trouble me will have to weigh the old man’s attitude."

Hearing Su Ran’s explanation, Fu Qixiu’s eyes widened.

"Holy shit, sister-in-law, you’re... really smart!"

Feeling the death glare from his biological brother beside him, Fu Qixiu wisely changed the subject.

He looked at Su Ran with admiration, clicking his tongue in praise.

"Sister-in-law, you’re really awesome, managing to deal with Grandpa in such a unique way!"

Not only that, she got Grandpa to handle at least more than half of the heat for her!

Just doesn’t know if Grandpa will regret agreeing to her terms today once he finds out!

Su Ran smiled but remained silent.

The three of them strolled aimlessly around the garden until, perhaps, a certain someone finally realized that their presence was entirely superfluous.

After complaining a couple of times, they directly went back to their own courtyard.

"The nuisance is finally gone!"

Fu Qiyuan took Su Ran by the hand, walking towards a pebbled path surrounded by shrubs.

The bright sunlight shone on the two of them, warm and tranquil.

Hearing his words, Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh.

"If Qi Xiu knew how much you despised him, be careful he doesn’t come back at you with a fuss."

When she mentioned "fuss," Fu Qiyuan seemed to think of something and his expression turned even more disdainful.

Seeing this, Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh again, it was apparent that she wasn’t often spared from trouble.

However, she could tell that despite Fu Qiyuan’s outward disdain for his brother Fu Qixiu, the two brothers had a very good relationship.

The reason Fu Qixiu respected her so much was also because of Fu Qiyuan.

Fu Qiyuan glanced at the girl laughing cheerfully and said gloomily:

"You seem to get along well with him."

Su Ran raised her eyebrows, "He’s my future brother-in-law, isn’t it only right to cultivate a good relationship?"

Fu Qiyuan embraced her into his arms, looking at her face to face.

"I am also your future husband, how come I don’t see you making a good relationship with me?"

The word "husband" made Su Ran’s cheeks redden slightly, she coughed softly before saying:

"Being a future husband already, how else should a relationship be developed?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Fu Qiyuan’s eyes, his lips curving into a smile:

"Hmm, indeed."

Su Ran blinked, then suddenly her eyes widened.

"Fu Qiyuan, are you tricking me?"

Fu Qiyuan raised his eyebrows, "How am I tricking you?"

"You want me to..."

"Hmm? What?"

Su Ran glared at him and huffed, "Nothing."

She absolutely wouldn’t fall for it again!

Fu Qiyuan was somewhat helpless, and held her in his arms once more.

"Am I wrong? Aren’t I your future husband?"

"You said it yourself, ’future’."

"I’ll officially become one very soon."

"Then we can talk about it after you become official."

"There’s no such thing."

"There is."

"Are you being unreasonable now?"

"Didn’t you always want an unreasonable girlfriend? I’m just fulfilling your wish."

Fu Qiyuan: "..."

...

Back in their room, the two of them had planned to take a nap.

But having just taken a walk, Su Ran just couldn’t fall asleep.

So they decided to sit on the couch and watch TV. The television was broadcasting a drama starring Yun Feng.

Thinking of Yun Feng, Su Ran remembered the fairy drama he was about to shoot with Yin Xiner.

The production had been delayed for quite some time due to Yin Xiner’s personal reasons, but it seemed like it was finally going to start shooting recently.

Yin Xiner made her think of Wen Jichen, and thinking of Wen Jichen, the face of Ling Qingan flashed through her mind.

Contemplating their conversation last time at the hospital, she pondered that she might need to take some time to explore the market soon.

Fu Qiyuan, noticing that the girl’s gaze was fixed on the TV and her thoughts seemed to drift, felt slightly jealous and covered her eyes.

"You’re not allowed to think about other men in my presence."

Su Ran peeled his hand away and said with a deadpan expression:

"Who said I was thinking about men?"

"Hmm? Don’t tell me you were thinking about women?"

Su Ran: "..."

She was indeed thinking about women!

Seeing her reaction, Fu Qiyuan’s face darkened instantly.

"Who? Ye Zhichen? Chu Ling? Or is it Fu Yizhi..."

Su Ran shivered all over upon seeing the man’s serious expression.

"What are you trying to do? Yizhi is your cousin!"

Fu Qiyuan snorted coldly, "Rival in love."

Hearing this, Su Ran couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.

"What rival in love? Zhichen is my friend, Chu Ling is an artist under my management, and Yizhi, she is just a cute little girl. And I’m a woman, it’s not possible between women. It’s you who should be careful..."

As she spoke, Su Ran pinched the handsome face of the man and said in a somber tone:

"Don’t rely on your good looks to go around and attract rivals for me."

Compared to her nonexistent issues, it was the man who really gave her a headache.

Fu Qiyuan looked down at her, frowning:

"When have I ever attracted a rival in love?"

Su Ran: "..."

Attracting rivals without even being aware of it is even more infuriating!

However, just at this moment, Fu Qiyuan’s phone on the coffee table started to ring.

By the ringtone, it was a message.

He picked up the phone and saw it was indeed a text message. Looking at the contact name—

Chu Xiyao.

No sooner had they mentioned rivals than one showed up!

Su Ran was held in Fu Qiyuan’s embrace, and he looked indifferent without hiding anything from her.

He opened the message, a brief and proper paragraph, ending with the address for a gathering tomorrow.

Su Ran looked at the address on the phone and slightly raised an eyebrow.
