Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: A True Kiss, Merry Christmas

Fu Chen was kicked. But before he could react, he felt another pain in his calf. She actually kicked him again.

This girl is really…

Does she think I won’t punish her?

She actually dared to kick me.

“You big pig hoof! You like me? Don’t lie to me. I… Mmph—” In any case, she thought that it was a dream and was speaking a little hysterically.

Fu Chen frowned.

Before Song Fengwan could finish speaking, Fu Chen reached out to pull her. Afraid of hurting her, he didn’t dare to use too much strength.

It was already nighttime, and everyone was asleep. She was making such a racket that everyone would probably wake up soon.

Fu Chen had no choice but to cover her mouth with his hand.

“Mmph—” Song Fengwan reached out to slap him. Even though she had a lot of strength from the alcohol, she was still not as strong as Fu Chen.

Just as she raised her leg to kick him again, he reached his hand out to pin her down. Her forehead wrinkled in anger. How can I let him bully me even in my dream?

“Are you going to yell again?” What if she woke the others up in the middle of the night?

“Mhm—” Song Fengwan didn’t care about this. She was still struggling.

“If you flail around or scream again, I’ll be rude to you right here.”

Fu Chen had been forced into a corner by her. It was fine for others, but if Qiao Xiyan woke up, all his efforts would go to waste.

Upon hearing this, Song Fengwan suddenly fell silent and blinked at him obediently.

“Don’t yell.”

She nodded silently.

Only then did Fu Chen let go. Song Fengwan’s mouth and nose had been covered, so only now did she manage to gasp for breath.

“Let’s talk nicely.” Fu Chen pushed her slightly messy hair to the side.

Song Fengwan twisted her body. Since we’re talking nicely, why is he so close to me?

“Why do you think I don’t like you?” Fu Chen cared a lot about what she said just now. People spoke the truth when drunk. Those were her heartfelt words.

“You already have someone you like. Don’t think I don’t know.” As Song Fengwan’s struggle was fruitless, she immediately gave up and let him lean on her.

“Someone I like?” Fu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Besides her, do I still have someone else I like?

How can I not know as the person involved?

“I saw your phone wallpaper. What dark night, long hair, and unable to sleep…” Song Fengwan couldn’t remember the original poem.

“The sleeping sky, your hair is ruffled by the dark night…” Fu Chen recited the original poem softly.

“I am stirred by you…

“Unable to sleep all night.”

His voice was low and pleasant to begin with, so listening to him making her ears itch.

“Yeah, this is it. You even listened to that obscene song called something like… Wandering in the Dream. How shameless.”

“This is a poem by Mang Ke. Its name is A City. It’s about the complex feelings people hold toward a city. Who told you this is about love?” Fu Chen’s tone seemed to be questioning her.

There was even a hint of a smile.

It was doting, gentle, and slightly mocking.

He was laughing at his young lady…

How can she be so adorable?

“A city?” Song Fengwan bit her lip. Did I really misunderstand?

“Before you…” Fu Chen thought that since she thought she was dreaming, he didn’t have to care about too much anymore. “There was no one.

“There was no one before, and there won’t be anyone in the future.”

“Umm—” Song Fengwan felt that the person in front of her was starting to play tricks again. “You even wanted me to take responsibility today. You’re really shameless. You’re obviously the one who took advantage of me before and refused to admit it after waking up!”

“When did I take advantage of you?” Seeing her quite irate, Fu Chen placed his hand behind her back and gently stroked her to calm her down.

He kissed the top of her head. This little girl has been thinking about it for a long time.

“Just… When we went to the ski resort.” Song Fengwan gritted her teeth in anger. “You took liberties with me and refused to admit it afterward.”

“Hmm? How did I take liberties with you?” He chuckled softly.

“Just…” Song Fengwan’s words were caught in her throat, and her face reddened. She couldn’t describe it. “You refused to own up to it the next day. How despicable. It was my first kiss!”

After speaking, Song Fengwan felt comfortable. She looked up and saw Fu Chen smiling as he looked down at her.

It was snowing outside, and the moonlight shone on him. Light seeped in through the kitchen window, making his side profile look gentler.

“Wanwan.”

Song Fengwan seemed to realize what was about to happen and subconsciously tilted her head to dodge…

The next second…

Fu Chen grabbed her chin and pulled it back with one hand…

Her mind was muddled, and her consciousness was blurry.

This and the previous one…

They seem different.

Suddenly, the sound of fireworks exploding rang out outside. Christmas Eve had passed…

Fu Chen leaned near her ear and whispered, “Merry Christmas.”

***

Finally, Song Fengwan leaned against the table and drank half a glass of water. She was actually swaying from side to side and about to fall asleep. Fu Chen picked her up horizontally…

Just as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw a figure standing outside.

The dazzling lights of the fireworks lit up his smooth head.

Who knew how long he had been watching here.

Fu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he stopped in his tracks. Why is this kid hiding here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

“Third Uncle…” He lowered his voice and called out timidly. The child didn’t seem to know how to control his volume yet, and it was slightly loud.

“Shh…” Fu Chen whispered.

His eyes glowing, Huai Sheng covered his mouth with his hands.

His small head was shining brightly from the fireworks outside, and the reflection was even a little glaring.

Seeing Fu Chen carry Song Fengwan back upstairs and disappear, he released his hands.

He turned on the kitchen lights. Song Fengwan was so drunk that she was muddled. She had used four glasses and even left water stains on the table. He took a cloth and wiped the water stains dry, rinsed the cups, and returned them to their original positions.

Why don’t these adults know how to return the items after using them? It’s so worrying.

Alas…

I’ll just help them clean up.

When Fu Chen came downstairs again, Huai Sheng was leaning against the window to look at the fireworks. The bright flames illuminated his eyes, and his small face was flushed red.

He took a look at the kitchen. It was as clean as new.

This child…

… sometimes acts too much like an adult.

He passed him a glass of milk.

“Thank you, Third Uncle.”

“Not sleeping yet?”

“I couldn’t sleep. I heard some commotion downstairs, so I came to take a look.” It was Huai Sheng’s first time here. Although everything here was better than on the mountain, he still felt bitter and uncomfortable. “Third Uncle, when can I go back to see Master?”

“You can go back on the weekend.”

“Third Uncle…”

“Yeah?”

“Aren’t you tired after kissing for so long?”

Fu Chen’s brows creased. This fellow indeed saw everything.

Doesn’t this kid not know what is meant by ‘see no evil’?

“Don’t worry. I said I would help you. I’ll definitely be tight-lipped and not say anything.”

“Don’t tell Big Sister either,” Fu Chen reminded.

“I even cleaned up the scene. Look!” Huai Sheng pointed at the kitchen.

The scene?

It was just a kiss. We aren’t thieves.

“Third Uncle, in the past, I overheard some married male senior brothers discussing this in private. Women are trouble. Is this true?”

A burst of fireworks lit up his face, making it look colorful.

Doesn’t this kid know too much?

Sweet or not, what does it have to do with a monk like you who aspires to be an abbot?
