Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: c

Fu Chen sorted out Song Fengwan’s school enrollment information and went downstairs.

“How’s Wanwan?” Qiao Aiyun asked.

“She’s already asleep.”

“We don’t know much about computers and enrollment. Sorry for troubling you to take a look.” Qiao Aiyun smiled apologetically. Because Fu Chen had said that he would help with the references, she had let him go upstairs.

Although he was higher in seniority, he wasn’t old. He also knew more than them and could guide Song Fengwan.

Besides, Fu Chen’s excellence was obvious to everyone. Qiao Aiyun even felt grateful for his help and guidance.

Fu Chen and Yan Wangchuan sat beside each other. After sitting down, he leaned toward Yan Wangchuan. “Mr. Yan, when I’m talking later, you have to lend me a helping hand.”

Yan Wangchuan looked vigilant. What does this brat want to do now?

He still wants to rope me in?

“Don’t worry. I’m creating an opportunity for you too. It will be a win-win collaboration.”

Yan Wangchuan snorted lightly.

“Aunt Yun, I have something to discuss with you.” Fu Chen looked at Qiao Aiyun.

“What’s the matter?” Qiao Aiyun smiled.

“Regarding Wanwan’s school enrollment, I saw some of the information about the few schools she wanted to apply to just now. Most schools have set up exam venues in the capital or the surrounding areas. If she goes to the capital, she can take the exams nearby, and there will be no need for her to run back and forth.”

Yan Wangchuan raised an eyebrow. This brat is indeed all-pervasive. He’s not even letting Wanwan off for her exams.

“Are there no exam venues in Yuncheng or Suzhou?” Qiao Aiyun naturally didn’t want to trouble Fu Chen anymore.

“There are. They usually only conduct their own schools’, and there are basically no other schools. There is only a two-day difference between the exams of the southern art schools and central art schools, and it takes more than three hours to fly from the north of the country to the south. Moreover, the exams of the Beijing schools are two days after them, and she’ll still have to return to the capital.”

“This…” Qiao Aiyun frowned and hesitated.

“She can stay at my place. Transportation in the capital is developed. Even if she has to go out for exams, it will be convenient,” Fu Chen said directly.

“It’ll be too troublesome for you.” But she couldn’t bear to let her daughter run back and forth either.

“Old Master Qiao and my father are old friends. The Qiao family helped us greatly back then. This much is nothing.” Fu Chen lowered his status.

Yan Wangchuan was an upright person. He truly couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth and help a tyrant with his wicked deeds.

But once Song Fengwan left, Qiao Wangbei would definitely return to Suzhou, which would indeed create an opportunity for him. He gritted his teeth and opened his mouth. “I think what Fu Chen says makes sense.”

“If Wanwan goes to the capital, it just so happens that I can send her there. I also plan to visit the two elders of the Fu family,” Qiao Wangbei suddenly said. All these years, the two elders of the Fu family had always been concerned about him, so it was only natural for him to pay them a visit.

Qiao Aiyun smiled. “When Wanwan wakes up, I’ll ask her opinion before answering you.”

***

Fu Chen and Huai Sheng didn’t stay long and left the Qiao residence after eating.

When they passed by a bubble tea shop, he bought a cup of bubble tea with double the pearls for Huai Sheng. The little monk was overjoyed.

Qiao Aiyun and Qiao Wangbei were discussing whether they should send Song Fengwan to the capital. They didn’t have many close acquaintances in the capital, so they could only trouble Fu Chen in the end. They kept feeling bad about it.

Meanwhile, Yan Wangchuan volunteered to wash the dishes.

“… It’s indeed tough to make Wanwan run around repeatedly. It will also affect her studies and make her easily distracted. It’s not a bad idea to go to the capital,” Qiao Wangbei said very directly.

“But she’ll be staying with the Fu family again. This…”

“I’ll pick a few good jade pieces and send them over. We’ll repay the favor slowly.”

…

The two had just chatted a few sentences when they heard the sound of plates shattering in the kitchen.

Qiao Aiyun hurriedly ran over, nearly scared to death.

Yan Wangchuan was holding a cleaning ball in one hand, with his hands covered in foam and a serious face. Two broken plates had fallen on the floor, and the pots, bowls, and pans on the table were covered in foam and food residue, making the whole place look messy.

“Yan Wangchuan, what in the world are you doing?”

“Washing the dishes,” he answered simply.

“I think you want to mess up my kitchen. Get out of here.” Qiao Aiyun was angry. She pulled off the rubber gloves on his hands and pushed him out.

After being kicked out, Yan Wangchuan saw Qiao Wangbei with his head lowered, suppressing his laughter.

He had fought with Yan Wangchuan for nearly 30 years, but this was the first time he had seen him suffer. He truly deserved it.

Qiao Aiyun cleaned up the kitchen. When she walked out, Qiao Wangbei had already returned to his room to rest, and only Yan Wangchuan was in the living room.

“Do you want to take an afternoon nap?” Qiao Aiyun wiped the water off her hands.

Yan Wangchuan suddenly stood up and walked toward her. She was so surprised that she took two steps backward. Yan Wangchuan walked to her front and grabbed her hand.

“What are you doing?” Qiao Aiyun was shocked. What is this person up to again?

Yan Wangchuan stuffed a bank card into her hand. “Salary card.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll give you all my savings and other assets later. You can spend using this.”

“No, I don’t lack money. Really, this…”

“We’ll be husband and wife in the future. It’s my duty to earn money for you to spend.”

“But…” Qiao Aiyun was dumbfounded. Why does he suddenly want to give me a bank card?

“Buy a set of tableware.” Yan Wangchuan forced the card into her hand.

A certain someone was blocking her way like a mountain with a strong attitude. Qiao Aiyun had no choice but to take it first and return it to him later when she had the chance in the future.

But when she took the card, Yan Wangchuan still blocked her way and refused to leave.

What does this person want again?!

“Aiyun, Wangbei and Wanwan are leaving soon. I’m worried about you living alone. I’ll move in with you.”

At this moment, Qiao Aiyun’s mind was spinning. Before she could recover her senses, he spoke again.

“We need to nurture our feelings.

“I’ll bring my luggage over later.”

…

When Yan Wangchuan left, Qiao Aiyun finally regained her senses.

Move in?

Live together?

That’s…

She was going a little crazy. She hadn’t said a single word!

But if she explained this to Yan Wangchuan now, given his temper, he would definitely give her a sour face.

How could he say this kind of thing while I was in a daze? It’s too much.

After Yan Wangchuan went out the door, he was in a good mood. Sometimes, that brat Fu Chen’s ideas are quite useful. This alliance can be reestablished.

Like this, can I mention getting the marriage license next time?

…

Qiao Aiyun grumbled in her heart, but she still drove to the mall to buy some necessities. In the past, when he stayed here, he had only used one-time disposables. If he lived here permanently, he would definitely have to use more.

She passed by a pajama shop having a sale and bought some personal, intimate clothes for Song Fengwan and herself.

“Do you want to take a look at the pajamas? Buy one, get one free. One is sold at a thirty percent discount. It’s a very good deal,” the shop assistant greeted her warmly.

Qiao Aiyun didn’t want to buy any initially. But when she saw the men’s pajamas, she hesitated about whether to buy one for Yan Wangchuan.

Soon, Yan Wangchuan received a call from her asking about his clothes size.

Since there was a precedent, she naturally bought all kinds of things after buying pajamas. She bought a lot of socks and long johns in one go. Since Yan Wangchuan had given her the card and she was buying all these things for him, she might as well swipe his card.

Therefore, Yan Wangchuan, who was having a meeting at another company, felt his phone vibrate from time to time.

This made the company partners look at him from time to time.

Even Yan Wangchuan’s assistant let out a somewhat embarrassed cough. Yan Wangchuan usually had very few phone calls, and his work calls all went through to the assistant directly. Besides Old Madam Yan, no one else called his private number, so the frequency of this vibration was really unimaginable.

“President Yan, is someone looking for you?” the business partner probed. “If you have something urgent, we can postpone our meeting.”

“It’s nothing.” Yan Wangchuan was still looking down at the documents in front of him, unmoved.

“But your phone…” The meeting room was too quiet, and his phone kept vibrating. It didn’t matter to him, but the others kept getting a shock.

“Oh, they are just texts for credit card transactions,” Yan Wangchuan said casually.

Before anyone could ask, he added another line.

“My wife is shopping.”

Everyone vomited blood. You must have been holding it in for so long, just waiting for us to ask questions and show off your affection in public.

Most of the people present were in their thirties or forties. Who didn’t have a wife? He was too much.

“Sorry. I’ll switch it to silent mode. Please continue, everyone.”

Everyone was speechless. You should have turned it to silent long ago. You just had to say this sentence to be happy?

You’re too stuffy.

Yan Wangchuan’s assistant was speechless as he looked up at the sky.

He could already imagine that their President Yan would definitely be a slave to his wife in the future. The two of them aren’t even married, yet he’s already calling her as his wife in public? Does Ms. Qiao know you’re staking your claim like this?

“President Yan, wife… Are you married?” The business partners were immediately curious. If he was really married, they would definitely give them gifts. “Don’t hide such a major thing from us.”

“Soon.” Yan Wangchuan was as cold as usual. “Let’s not talk about personal matters during work hours. Let’s start the meeting quickly.”

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. Exactly who was the one who flaunted his affection first? Wasn’t it too late to talk about not mentioning private matters now?

After the meeting ended, Yan Wangchuan reminded his assistant. “Arrange the minutes for the meeting and send them to the Qiao residence.”

“Are you going over there to eat tonight?” The assistant still really hoped that his boss would settle down and start a family soon. His subordinates really couldn’t stand his abnormal schedule.

“No, we’re living together.”

His assistant was dumbfounded. Living together before getting married? What amazing progress.

When Song Fengwan woke up, it was already night. She went to the bathroom, and after coming out, she saw the materials Fu Chen had arranged for her. They were very detailed. Mainly because Fu Chen’s handwriting was very elegant and confident, she stared at them for a long time.

After she went downstairs, Qiao Aiyun told her about taking the examinations in Beijing.

Song Fengwan was naturally overjoyed, but she couldn’t show it too obviously. She even pretended to be deep in thought.

“I’ve discussed it with your uncle. It’s a little troublesome for Fu Chen, but there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s winter, and it’s not easy to run all over the country. I’m also worried.”

Song Fengwan bit her lips, seemingly unwilling.

“Fu Chen treats you well and won’t make things difficult for you either. You’ve also stayed in his house before, so it’s decided. Your uncle happens to be paying a visit to the Fu family, so you’ll go with him.” Qiao Aiyun helped her make the decision straight away.

Song Fengwan sighed and said reluctantly, “Okay then.”

“That’s a good girl.” Qiao Aiyun rubbed her hair. “I bought you new clothes. Come try them on.”

Song Fengwan was happy deep down. A young girl in love always wanted to be with him at all times.

Meanwhile, at Beijing Medical University…

Xu Jiamu hadn’t left the dormitory for four days. She had been staying up late to write her thesis and relied on strong tea to keep herself awake every day. Then she received a call from Qian Jiang, asking her to accompany Duan Linbai on Monday for a follow-up checkup.

Even if she had beaten him up once, surely there was no need to torture her like this.

That day, after returning from delivering him the medicine, she had gone online to do research on Duan Linbai.

Two words to describe him:

Too unrestrained.

She was about to go bald from the thesis, yet she still had to deal with this fool?
