Chapter 776: 0765 Feeding

It was not long before she came out with another hot meal and headed towards the separate courtyard.

Upon reaching the second floor and entering the living room, she saw Fu Qiyuan working on some documents on the couch.

The man glanced at the tray in her hands and said indifferently,

"You’re back."

Su Ran approached him, "Yeah, Qi Xiu and Qin Feng told me you haven’t had lunch yet. Are you too busy with work to even eat?"

Fu Qiyuan responded indifferently, "Not hungry."

Su Ran sat next to him, placed the things in her hand on the coffee table, and then blinked.

Why did she feel like Fu Qiyuan was in a bit of a bad mood right now?

Downstairs, the tormented Fu Qixiu and Qin Feng: "..."

Not to mention that she had been out shopping for so long, she also had lunch with another woman, and when she came back, she was not only arm in arm with someone, but she also did not look for his brother right away.

Could his brother’s mood possibly be good?

Su Ran didn’t know exactly why Fu Qiyuan was in a bad mood, but her voice softened.

"No matter how busy work is, don’t overexert yourself. Take a rest first, okay?"

Fu Qiyuan: "Not tired."

Su Ran: "I just brought some food from the kitchen. Why don’t you eat a bit while it’s still hot?"

Fu Qiyuan: "Not hungry."

Su Ran: "Was work not going smoothly today?"

Fu Qiyuan: "No."

Su Ran: "Feeling upset?"

Fu Qiyuan: "...No."

No...

That meant yes!

Su Ran tugged at her lips, "Did Qi Xiu make you angry?"

Fu Qiyuan: "No."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran instantly stopped talking. Silence is golden.

After quite a while, Fu Qiyuan still had not heard the girl speak again, so he looked up at her.

"Why aren’t you asking anymore?"

Su Ran tugged at her lips, what else was there to ask about?

If it wasn’t Fu Qixiu, then it must be her!

But truly, she had no idea what she had done to upset him.

Seeing her puzzled look, Fu Qiyuan’s face darkened even more.

Then he let out a cold snort, "Hmph!"

Su Ran: "..."

Fu Qiyuan kept his head down and continued dealing with the documents, ultimately not even sparing another glance at the girl.

Su Ran thought hard, realizing she really hadn’t done anything inappropriate today.

Then, she leaned closer to the man, intending to talk with him.

But the next second, Fu Qiyuan shifted his body away.

Distancing himself from her.

Su Ran: "..."

So he wouldn’t even let her sit close?

She moved closer again, and he shifted away once more.

Su Ran was completely speechless!

Why was he so temperamental?

Even if she were to die, she at least deserved to know why, didn’t she?

As time ticked by second by second...

The man still showed no signs of acknowledging her, and seeing the food starting to cool, Su Ran’s brows furrowed slightly.

In the end, she sighed helplessly, picked up the bowl from the coffee table, and dragged the tray in front of the man. Taking two big steps, she plopped down right beside him.

Just as Fu Qiyuan was about to move again, Su Ran spoke first.

"Don’t move."

Listening to the girl’s displeased tone, Fu Qiyuan paused in his attempt to get up and finally sat back down.

Seeing this, Su Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up some food with her chopsticks onto a spoon, and extended the spoonful of rice towards Fu Qiyuan’s mouth.

Fu Qiyuan looked startled for a moment, his deep eyes watching the girl with an indescribable emotion.

Su Ran maintained the feeding gesture, expressionlessly staring at the man who was staring back.

"What are you looking at? Open your mouth."

A barely perceptible smile flickered across the depths of Fu Qiyuan’s eyes, but he remained motionless.

Su Ran fed him even more closely, practically clinging onto the man.

"Open your mouth." Su Ran repeated, but this time her tone was clearly not as pleasant as before.

Her face held an expression that read, "If you dare not eat, I will eat you up."

Fu Qiyuan, seeing the girl’s small face sink a bit, knew that too much was as bad as too little and stayed silent for a while before deigning to open his golden mouth.

Seeing this, Su Ran’s expression finally eased a bit.

And so it went, Su Ran feeding him bite by bite.

The man eating, mouthful by mouthful.

After about seven or eight bites, Su Ran directly handed him the bowl and chopsticks, saying:

"Eat by yourself."

Fu Qiyuan gave her a cold look and turned his head to continue reading the document on the table.

Su Ran: "..."

What does that mean?

Is he full? Or does he not want to move?

Su Ran blinked, hesitantly scooped another spoonful of food, and brought it to the man’s mouth.

Fu Qiyuan again opened his mouth without a change in expression.

Su Ran: "..."

She sighed softly to herself, somewhat amused and bewildered.

This man, how childishly he behaved.

Was this the same Fu Qiyuan who inspired fear at the mention of his name?

Resigned, Su Ran continued the feeding, as the man did not have a large appetite.

After a small bowl of rice, he stopped opening his mouth.

After she finished feeding him, Su Ran didn’t linger long, tidied up the bowls and stood up.

"Since you’re busy, I’ll leave you be."

After speaking with a smile, she carried the tray downstairs.

Watching her leave, Fu Qiyuan: "..."

His mood, which had just been eased, chilled in an instant.

-

Fu Qiyuan spent the whole afternoon in the courtyard, summoning Fu Qixiu and Qin Feng back and forth as if he was truly busy.

By evening, seeing the two emerge dust-covered, it was clear that their afternoon had been anything but pleasant.

The dinner was prepared and the servants called Old Master Fu downstairs.

The old master was taken aback upon seeing the transformed Nan Shuyun.

Nan Shuyun, seeing Grandpa Fu, greeted him politely.

"Grandpa Fu."

The way she addressed him and looked at him lacked the initial timidity and nervousness.

Even between her brows, there was a newfound confidence and complacency.

Old Master Fu glanced at Su Ran, hardly believing his eyes.

The inferiority etched deep in one’s bones was not so easily altered.

He knew Su Ran had her own shrewdness, but he was also curious how she managed it.

In just half a day, she had changed someone’s whole appearance.

At the dinner table.

Fu Qiyuan’s face was expressionless, his handsome visage calm and unruffled as if a light breeze and clear sky.

Yet inexplicably, everyone felt as if a tornado was approaching, the atmosphere oppressive and heavy.

Old Master Fu glanced at him and did not say much.

As the head of the Fu family, Fu Qiyuan was not one to let his emotions show or be out of control.

This behavior now seemed almost intentional.

He gave Su Ran another glance and silently ate his meal.

After dinner.

Fu Qixiu, Fu Yizhi, and Nan Shuyun ran off in a flash.

After the old master returned to his room, Fu Qiyuan and Su Ran also went back to theirs.

"You go freshen up first, I have an email to reply to in the study."

Su Ran didn’t give Fu Qiyuan a chance to speak, and after she finished, she went straight into the study.

The expressionless look on Fu Qiyuan’s face finally changed as he went off to the bathroom with a sullen face.

When Su Ran came out of the study, half an hour had passed.

Last to finish showering, she returned to the bedroom to find the man lying on the bed, his back to her, leaving a very conspicuous space for her.
