Chapter 737: Sixth Master’s Godly Move, Getting Her to Deliver Herself (2)

Xu Yuanfei wanted to spend more time with him, but Jing Hanchuan took the initiative to send her back to the store, so she didn’t decline.

Moreover, she had specially chosen a longer path that needed a detour…

It was a little difficult to walk side by side in a crowded place. Xu Yuanfei led the way, and Jing Hanchuan followed behind her quietly. Occasionally, he lowered his eyes to size her up. She’s really small.

There was a large group of students walking in front. Xu Yuanfei went to the other side to avoid the large group. “Sixth Master, here!”

She turned her head and subconsciously reached out to pull his arm, wanting to pull him over…

When her fingers slid down, they seemed to brush lightly against the back of his hand. Her body stiffened, and she almost bumped into a student going the other way. Jing Hanchuan instinctively grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side.

Her shoulder bumped into his chest. When Xu Yuanfei looked up, she realized that his fingers were wrapped tightly around hers.

The man’s palm was warm. Although it looked beautiful and slender, it was very broad. He wrapped her fingers gently and lowered his head to ask, “Did you bump into him?”

“No, thank you.” Xu Yuanfei casually wriggled her wrist and pulled her fingers out of his hand.

The entire process was like an accident.

But it made the two of them feel slightly awkward. On the way back, they spoke much less.

When they were about to reach the store, Xu Yuanfei tugged at the corner of her shirt. “It’s fine here. Thank you so much for today.”

“Do you like to eat crabs?”

Xu Yuanfei was surprised. Why did he bring up crabs?

“It’s… it’s alright.” Crabs were delicious, and no one could resist them. But it was too much work to eat them.

“I don’t like owing people. It was your treat tonight, so come to my house to eat crabs another day.”

Xu Yuanfei’s heart raced. “This…”

“Go ahead. I’ll get going first.”

With that, Jing Hanchuan turned around and left. Xu Yuanfei watched his figure disappear, her heart pounding. She walked back with a smile and almost tripped over the limestone steps on the way.

Meanwhile, the Jing family members were completely stunned by Sixth Master’s move.

After they ordered the food, they had signaled Sixth Master with their eyes to settle the bill first. He hadn’t given them any instructions, so Xu Yuanfei had settled the bill in advance.

How could he let the girl treat him to a meal when he was out with her? They really didn’t know why Sixth Master didn’t do anything this time when he had rushed to pay the bill previously.

Now, it was finally clear…

How is this eating crabs? You clearly want her to deliver herself to you obediently.

As soon as Xu Yuanfei returned to the store and opened the door, she heard the sound of ‘Welcome’. When she saw a middle-aged man sitting in the store, she was immediately scared out of her wits.

“Dad, why are you here?” A certain someone was drinking the special autumn drink in the store with his head lowered.

Her heart was pounding wildly. She was so excited that she wanted to hum a song just now, but now, her back was already covered in cold sweat.

“Did you eat out with him?”

“No, with a friend.”

“Didn’t you go on a blind date?”

“Yes, but we’re really not suitable. He’s too boring, and he keeps saying things I don’t understand.” Xu Yuanfei felt guilty and uneasy. Thankfully, she didn’t let Jing Hanchuan walk her to the store.

With her father’s temper, as soon as he saw Jing Hanchuan, he would definitely smash a cup on his head.

“You can’t get along?”

“Yes.”

“Maybe it’s because he’s been studying and doesn’t know how to interact with others,” Father Xu said very casually. His goal was for them to become friends. Whether they could develop further depended on their personalities. It was hard to say. “Which friend did you eat with? Why did you eat for so long?”

“I just happened to meet a regular customer in the store.” Xu Yuanfei coughed twice. “Why are you free to come?”

Her family rarely interfered with her business, and they only came to the store a few times a year.

“Your mother went to play mahjong and isn’t coming back tonight. I’m meeting a few old friends for a drink. I came to pick you up and drive you home. How much longer will you be busy?”

“I’m not busy anymore. I’ll change my clothes and leave.” Xu Yuanfei was afraid that Jing Hanchuan would suddenly return and wanted to leave with her father immediately.

Father Xu took a sip. He kept feeling that his daughter was acting strange today, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

But later, because she said that the blind date was boring, it became a topic for Master Xu to attack Jing Hanchuan.

You feel bored when people talk about physics with you?

In that case, isn’t this person who interacts with fish all day and lives an even more elderly lifestyle than me boring?

He sits there all day without doing anything. If he wasn’t breathing, people would think that he was a sculpture. Is this kind of person interesting?

In the end, he still didn’t like him.

Xu Yuanfei had always been worried about what her blind date would say when he returned. If his father knew that the friend she was eating with was a man, everything would be over if he checked. Fortunately, although the man’s EQ was low, he wasn’t that insensible. He said that they weren’t suitable, so the parents of both parties didn’t ask further.

On the way home, the autumn wind suddenly blew. Xu Yuanfei suddenly started to miss Jing Hanchuan’s crabs…

***

On the way back, Jing Hanchuan specially sent Fu Chen a message. The content was: [What kind of person do you think is considered a high-level intellectual?]

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the message, thinking for a moment. [Where are you going to pretend to be refined, and who are you trying to fool?]

Jing Hanchuan frowned. Indeed, I can’t ask Fu Chen about anything.

Song Fengwan was staying at Yunjin Prime Manor tonight and video calling Tang Jingci. Previously, she and Qiao Xiyan had gone to the mountains, so the signal wasn’t good. She only contacted her today…

And she was actually sent to the county hospital.

“What happened to you? Why were you hospitalized?”

The signal on Tang Jingci’s side wasn’t good, and she spoke intermittently.

“Did my cousin do something beastly to you? I told you long ago that you have to protect yourself when you go out alone with him. Look, you’ve only been out for two days, and something happened.”

Tang Jingci wanted to explain to her, but the signal was intermittent, and even her voice couldn’t be heard, making her feel very awkward.

Qiao Xiyan had already snatched the phone and switched it to voice mode. “Song Fengwan!”

Song Fengwan’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately smiled fawningly. “Cousin, you’re here too. Hehe…”

“It turns out that in your heart, I’m such a beast? I can even torment people into the hospital?”

Song Fengwan lowered her head, her face flushed red…

How thick-skinned of him to eavesdrop on a girl’s private conversation!

She didn’t dare to say this and could only let Qiao Xiyan reprimand her. He was just saying that she was very bold now and dared to say anything…

Chuanbei Jing residence…

When Jing Hanchuan arrived home, his parents were both here. They saw that he had returned late, and he was carrying desserts in his hand. He probably went out to buy something, so they didn’t ask much.

After a certain someone returned to his room, he rummaged through his study for his various graduation certificates and diplomas for a long time. Then he spread them out on his desk.

What is considered an intellectual?

Her family likes intellectuals. Is her family a scholarly family and wants to find someone of equal social status?

From the looks of it, it won’t be easy to please her family.

The Jing family members were a little helpless…

“Why do you think Sixth Master took these things out? He didn’t even manage to woo Miss Xu, yet he’s already thinking about how to deal with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Isn’t it a little too early?”

“But he was proactive today. There was physical contact. He wiped her mouth and even held hands.”

“Does that count as holding hands?”

“It’s about the same.”

“In that case, when Sixth Master came out in his bathrobe last time, and his naked body was exposed, does this count as them sleeping together?”
