Summer Kiss

Chapter 173 Fearing further abuse, he ran away.
"He wants to marry Miss Qin, but Miss Qin may not be interested in him."

Xu Yansheng found a chair and sat down, bending his legs, and said indifferently, "How could that be? They just met this morning and seemed to be interested in taking things further."

Fu Xicheng felt that Fu Tian had chosen the wrong person; of all people, why did he have to choose Qin Shuwan?

Although he didn't have much interaction with Qin Shuwan, he knew that Qin Shuwan wouldn't always obey Fu Tian.

"Is it possible that Miss Qin was just giving him the runaround?"

Xu Yansheng was puzzled; he felt that Fu Xicheng seemed to know Qin Shuwan very well.

He vaguely remembered that Fu Xicheng seemed to have never met Qin Shuwan.

"How could you have such an idea?"

Fu Xicheng didn't keep them in suspense, but said directly, "Because I know that Qin Shuwan has a white moonlight in her heart."

Xu Yansheng was shocked: "..."

"Holy crap, Fu Xicheng, you know about such private matters?"

Fu Xicheng had his own channels; his informants were spread throughout the capital. He knew these kinds of untold stories better than anyone else.

He said, "In Kyoto, there's no gossip I don't know."

Xu Yansheng became quite interested. He also enjoyed being a bystander, and there were some gossips he wanted to know more about than anyone else.

"Then I'll have to test you."

Jiang Yuning had been gone for a while, and Fu Xicheng was getting anxious because he couldn't see her. He had no interest in chatting with Xu Yansheng here.

A glint of something unsettling flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I'm going to be with my girlfriend."

Xu Yansheng: "!!!"

He shouldn't have come here. He came here just to watch them show off their love. Sure enough, he got another brutal beating from Fu Xicheng.

Xu Yansheng coughed twice and called out to him, "Fu Xicheng, I haven't gotten to the important matter yet."

Fu Xicheng glanced at him sideways, "If you had something important to say, you should have said it the moment you met me, instead of waiting until now."

Xu Yansheng realized that Fu Xicheng was very good at guessing, but there was indeed something he didn't say.

If this matter isn't discussed openly, he might become uneasy.

"Regarding Lin Yuecheng canceling the collaboration with Ms. Jiang, it might be because I didn't attend her birthday party, and she got angry."

Fu Xicheng didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, Lin Yuecheng was no big deal. A woman as petty as her wouldn't amount to much in her career.

Fu Xicheng chuckled lightly, not caring at all; he had plenty of ways to deal with Lin Yuecheng.

"Don't you like canceling partnerships? Then the Mina Plaza counter will be leased to her when it expires next year."

"Since she wants to cancel, I don't need to force her to stay."

Xu Yansheng was alarmed. Fu Xicheng did things unpredictably, and sometimes you couldn't even guess what he would do next.

“Fu Xicheng, you are too heartless. If she finds out about this, she will give you a good scolding.”

Fu Xicheng never cared about his reputation, and he wouldn't have spoken to Jiang Yuning if it weren't for her.

“Let her curse all she wants. I’m the landlord, and I can rent to whomever I want. Mina Plaza is a high-traffic area, and her store is in a prime location. She doesn’t know how to appreciate this opportunity, and there’s nothing I can do to help her.”

Xu Yansheng fell into deep thought. Lin Yuecheng was really unlucky to openly oppose Fu Xicheng without considering the consequences.

Fu Xicheng did not intend to discuss this matter with him.

"I'm going downstairs for dinner, do you want to come with me?"

Xu Yansheng waved his hand, politely declining: "If I eat with you, wouldn't I just have to watch you two continue to show off your love? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat." Thinking about the issue of eating, Fu Xicheng suddenly remembered something.

Xu Yansheng wasn't staying for dinner, so he couldn't let him be idle; he had to keep assigning him work.

"Ningning said that the chef at Fu Tian's house cooks very well. Go and find out who that chef is and hire him at a high price."

Xu Yansheng looked completely bewildered: "???"

"Fu Xicheng, you can't spoil someone like this. Aren't you afraid that the chef from Fu Tian's family might be on Fu Tian's side? If you poach him, wouldn't that be like planting a spy by your side?"

Fu Xicheng felt that Xu Yansheng had only listened to half of what he said, and he hadn't grasped the key point.

"That's why I asked you to check his background first. If he has a clean record, then poach him."

"If all else fails, we'll think of another way."

Xu Yansheng sighed. Fu Xicheng spoiled Jiang Yuning rotten. In his opinion, he could fulfill any request of his girlfriend, which completely overturned his understanding of the world.

He wanted to say something more, but the moment he looked up, he was suddenly met with a cold glare from Fu Xicheng. He could only say, "I'll go check it out now."

Fu Xicheng and Xu Yansheng went downstairs one after the other.

As Jiang Yuning watched them go downstairs together, and Xu Yansheng's figure disappeared into the villa, her gaze fell on Fu Xicheng.

With a hint of confusion, she asked, "Mr. Xu, won't you stay for dinner?"

Fu Xicheng sat down opposite Jiang Yuning and answered her question, "He's very busy and probably doesn't have time."

Jiang Yuning felt that something was wrong. Was Xu Yansheng really so busy that he didn't even have time to eat?

She couldn't help but ask, "Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Fu Xicheng lowered his eyelids slightly, casting faint shadows under his long eyelashes, highlighting his deep gaze.

He noticed that Jiang Yuning's insight had improved significantly.

He did not lie to Jiang Yuning; he told the truth.

“I’m not lying to you, that’s just one of the reasons. There’s an even more important reason: he doesn’t want to see us showing affection in front of him. He can’t stand that kind of stimulation.”

Jiang Yuning couldn't help but chuckle. In her opinion, the interactions between her and Fu Xicheng were just ordinary moments in life, not something she was deliberately showing off.

She felt that Xu Yansheng was overthinking things.

Fu Xicheng tapped on the table in front of him, reminding Jiang Yuning to come back to his senses, "What are you thinking about? Eat."

Jiang Yuning stopped daydreaming and continued eating with her head down.

After dinner, Jiang Yuning accompanied Fu Xicheng for about ten minutes. She timed it perfectly, and when the time was up, she urged him to go upstairs to rest.

Fu Xicheng did not resist and silently went upstairs.

He was holding his phone, about to send a message to someone, when he remembered that the person had already deleted him.

Left with no other option, he had to resend the friend request.

Fu Xicheng tossed his phone onto the bed, leaned against the headboard, and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass jolted Fu Xicheng awake.

He stood up, ignoring why the glass was broken. He was extremely anxious and hurried out of the room, quickly searching for Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning was reading on the balcony when she saw Fu Xicheng suddenly walk over. She was surprised and gently closed the book in her hand.

She asked with concern, "Fu Xicheng, what happened?"
