Chapter 777: 0766 What’s wrong with me?

And he, covered with a blanket, wrapped himself up from head to toe.

Even so, he couldn’t conceal the resentment that filled the bedroom, the breath of cold, mournful air.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, fiercely suppressing the smile that threatened to curl her lips.

She took off her shoes and got into bed, lying next to the man.

The man didn’t embrace her as he usually would.

Su Ran blinked, undisturbed, and silently counted in her head.

One...

Two...

Three...

The next second, the man moved.

Kindly, he shared half of his blanket with her.

While covering her, he tried to avoid any contact.

Seeing the man trying to keep his distance yet not bearing to let her be without a blanket made her feel both amused and exasperated.

So, when the man stretched out his hand to move the blanket over her again, she directly grabbed his arm.

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her and kept his arm still, but his body shifted to the side.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, again?

As she moved closer to him, the man made to move, but Su Ran quickly wrapped her arms around his waist.

"What’s wrong? Who upset you?"

Su Ran looked at him with a smile, pretending complete innocence.

Confronted with her smiling face, as beautiful as blooming flowers, Fu Qiyuan’s frown eased, and his irritation dissolved by half.

But seeing the girl feigning ignorance, he leaned down and kissed her as a form of punishment.

"!!"

The sudden kiss took her utterly by surprise, not even allowing her a chance to catch her breath.

In the end, the man gently bit her lip.

Startled by the bite, Su Ran frowned and let out a soft cry, then heard the man say:

"Apart from you, who else could upset me?"

Su Ran looked innocent, "When did I upset you? I’ve been really good today, I didn’t disturb you while you were working."

Fu Qiyuan: "..."

Should he say it was because she was too well-behaved?

Seeing the man’s dark expression, Su Ran kissed him to please him, coaxing softly:

"Alright, alright, no need to be angry. Your mother is coming back tomorrow, be happy."

Fu Qiyuan looked at her indifferently, "If I were angry with you, would I still be alive?"

Su Ran was speechless, "What about me?"

As if she could get him angry enough to die at any moment!

Such a big misunderstanding!

Fu Qiyuan, as if hearing her thoughts, said, "No misunderstanding."

Su Ran: "..."

How could she have such an ability?

Fu Qiyuan: "Don’t doubt yourself."

Su Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Fu Qiyuan, don’t tell me you have mind reading technique?"

Fu Qiyuan looked at her, "It’s just that your facial expressions are too rich!"

Su Ran: "..."

My expressive face is to blame?

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her and finally pulled her tightly into his embrace.

"Sleep."

Su Ran nodded, nuzzled against his chest, and slowly closed her eyes.

Tomorrow was bound to be a tough battle; better to conserve energy for the day ahead!

Before long, the sound of the girl’s even breathing filled the room, and Fu Qiyuan looked at the peacefully sleeping girl in his arms, sighing helplessly.

He was utterly at a loss with her!

But conversely, he dearly loved the way she acted with impunity, relying on his affection for her.

Her carefree spirit was truly captivating.

After all, he was the one who spoiled her!

Fu Qiyuan kissed her on the forehead, adjusted the blanket over them, and also slowly closed his eyes.

-

The next morning, Su Ran woke up early.

She couldn’t sleep, and naturally, the man by her side couldn’t sleep either.

"Not sleeping?"

The man’s voice was low and husky, with a lazy drawl that came from just waking up.

"Can’t sleep."

"Nervous?"

Su Ran let out a breath, "A little bit, I guess!"

Fu Qiyuan chuckled softly, "Nervous about what? You weren’t this nervous during the global broadcast."

"But that’s your mother."

"She’s scarier than a wild beast?"

Su Ran tugged at her lip, in her heart, a mother-in-law was far scarier than any wild beast!

It was still early, so the two of them didn’t rush to get up and instead chatted idly in bed.

They talked about everything under the sun, and Su Ran’s nervousness eased quite a bit.

At seven o’clock, they got up on time.

By the time Su Ran had washed up and come out, Fu Qiyuan was already neatly dressed.

His usual attire consisted of a black suit, white shirt, and grey tie.

Austere elegance and casual luxury!

Su Ran looked at the man in front of her who could stir any woman’s heart and fell into thought.

If the Cheongsam best highlighted a woman’s beauty, then a suit was undoubtedly the best display of a man’s charm.

Fu Qiyuan’s wardrobe usually favored black and grey tones, which made him appear reserved and restrained but also unavoidably gave off a rather solemn and standoffish impression to strangers.

What would he look like in a suit of a different color?

For a moment, Su Ran grew curious!

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Ran shook her head and entered the walk-in closet, pressing a button on the wall that brought a row of clothes into the dressing area.

As she carefully made her selection, Fu Qiyuan also walked in.

Seeing the girl holding a mature and steady, elegant yet conservative suit, he spoke up:

"Need a second opinion?"

Su Ran nodded and looked up at him, "Where are we meeting your mother today? The Fu family’s private airport or Yong City Airport?"

Fu Qiyuan: "Yong City Airport."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s eyes flickered, and she immediately put down the clothes in her hand and selected another outfit.

Seeing this, Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow but didn’t say much.

-

After getting ready, they went downstairs.

For the past few days, Su Ran had been feeling uneasy, running through all possible and impossible scenarios in her mind.

In the end, she decided to play it by ear!

Those who like you will like you no matter what!

Those who don’t like you won’t be swayed no matter how much you do.

Dislike is just dislike!

If all else fails... she could blame it all on Fu Qiyuan.

Feeling relieved, Su Ran’s mood also lightened, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"With that mischievous smile, what kind of bad idea are you cooking up?"

As the two walked toward the main house and saw the smile on the girl’s face, Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I was thinking, if your mother really doesn’t like me, then in the future, you’ll have to run away with me to the ends of the earth."

Fu Qiyuan couldn’t help but laugh softly, "Although I am looking forward to it, how could she not like someone as adorable as you?"

Su Ran’s lips twitched, pointing at herself, "Me? Adorable?"

"Mhm."

Su Ran: "..."

The word "adorable" didn’t suit her at all, did it?

The two arrived at the main house, where Fu Qixiu had been waiting for some time.

Upon seeing Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan, he lazily greeted them.

Across from the couch sat the radiant and smile-laden Chu Xiyao.

Upon seeing the couple walking in together, the flawless smile on Chu Xiyao’s face stiffened for a moment.

Then she quickly regained her composure and nodded politely and gracefully at them.

"Qi Yuan, sister-in-law."

Su Ran’s lips curled slightly, and a deep meaning flashed in the depths of her eyes.
