Summer Kiss

Chapter 30 I care about you

Jiang Yuning wasn't used to being so close to Fu Xicheng. She pushed his chest and said defiantly, "Anyway, it won't be you."

Fu Xicheng curled his lips into a smile, his eyes sharpening. "Let's see who dares to accept it?"

Judging from Fu Xicheng's tone, does he still want to beat up the guy who's trying to pull the belt?
I'm sorry he doesn't dare either.

Jiang Yuning continued to argue with him, "My dad would dare to accept it."

Upon seeing this, Fu Xicheng released his grip.
He openly told Jiang Yuning, "This style of belt doesn't suit Uncle."

Jiang Yuning stared at Fu Xicheng and asked, "Are you saying I have bad taste, or that my dad is getting old?"

“I didn’t mean that, Jiang Yuning. I’ve never seen you react so quickly before.”

Jiang Yuning glared at him, seemingly a little proud, "That's because you don't understand me."

"Fu Xicheng, how exactly did you find the evidence that Qin Susu leaked customer information? Tell me about it."

Fu Xicheng thought to himself that the key to finding evidence of Qin Susu's leak was his own carefulness.

He made a small request to Jiang Yuning: "Could you help me undo my belt?"

The next second, Jiang Yuning froze, and then she cursed Fu Xicheng in front of him, "Fu Xicheng, you are shameless, you have no shame."

Fu Xicheng pretended to be clueless, but when he saw the angry expression on Jiang Yuning's face, he seemed to understand something.

"You misunderstood me. I wanted you to help me unpack this new belt. I only omitted a few words. Is that so hard to understand?"

“Miss Jiang, I, Fu Xicheng, am not a casual person. Even if I like you, it doesn’t mean I would do anything excessive.”

After hearing Fu Xicheng's explanation, Jiang Yuning lowered her head awkwardly, unsure how to face the man in front of her.

She misunderstood him. Why didn't she ask him a question earlier?
It's her fault, but it's also Fu Xicheng's fault for not explaining things clearly.

This scoundrel openly set a trap for her, luring her into it.

Fu Xicheng unpacked the new belt and glanced at Jiang Yuning, noticing that she was looking down and silent.

"Now you know you were wrong, you've shrunk yourself into a quail, Miss Jiang. Would you like me to treat you to quail eggs today to replenish your energy?"

Jiang Yuning was furious. How could Fu Xicheng say such a thing to her so openly? She bit her lip, her tone defiant.

"Fu Xicheng, are you sure you won't offend people by talking like that?"

Fu Xicheng shook his head. He was absolutely certain that Jiang Yuning wouldn't be angry with him, after all, his words and actions were not excessive at all.

Even if it were excessive, given Jiang Yuning's temperament, she would never resort to beating him.

So he wasn't afraid of offending her at all.

"I just did you a huge favor, but you called me shameless and a scoundrel. Miss Jiang, you're quite amusing."

Jiang Yuning chickened out, quickly lowered her head, and spoke in a very soft voice, "Didn't you want to pursue me? Are you sure you can win me over by talking like that?"

The next second, Fu Xicheng smiled brightly, and even though Jiang Yuning's voice was very low, he still heard it.

He lifted Jiang Yuning's head and said, "If you can't catch up now, maybe you can in the future. Jiang Yuning, I have great faith in my charm."

Jiang Yuning was a little embarrassed. Her words carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty. "I was speaking so softly, how could you hear me?"

Fu Xicheng's eyes were gentle as water as he slowly said, "Because I care about you, so I will listen carefully to every word you say."

At that moment, a warm feeling welled up in Jiang Yuning's heart. She saw sincerity and persistence in Fu Xicheng's eyes, and she realized something: she might be falling for Fu Xicheng. Fu Xicheng carefully put away the belt that Jiang Yuning had given him, then walked to a table to the side and picked up his phone.

"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner? You can't go back on your word."

Jiang Yuning enjoyed chatting with Fu Xicheng. She blinked and asked, "Is it too late for me to run away now?"

Fu Xicheng chuckled softly, then closed the studio door.

Jiang Yuning had planned out the dining location in advance. This time, they didn't wander around; they drove directly to the restaurant.

The two of them walked and chatted.

Jiang Yuning was very curious. She had asked Fu Xicheng this question in the art studio earlier, but he had not given her a direct answer.

She asked again, "Fu Xicheng, how exactly did you find the evidence that Qin Susu leaked customer information? Was it very difficult to find? Please tell me quickly, considering I gave you a gift."

Although he was in Haicheng, Fu Xicheng still had a lot of connections, and he could mobilize many people with just one phone call.

He didn't find it difficult to investigate, but some things require a lot of manpower and financial resources to be thoroughly investigated.

Fu Xicheng noticed Jiang Yuning's curiosity, so he decided to play the victim to gain her sympathy.

"It was quite a hassle to investigate."

He said in a calm tone, "I haven't been sleeping well or eating well these past few days, just so I can find this evidence as soon as possible and make you happier."

"Jiang Yuning, I care about you a lot. I've always kept your affairs in mind, so the process isn't important, the result is."

Jiang Yuning felt embarrassed. She felt a little sorry for Fu Xicheng. It turned out that Fu Xicheng had been working hard day and night for her sake, and hadn't even been able to sleep well.

The thought that he hadn't slept late into the night, still searching for evidence for her, made her heart ache even more.

She tugged at Fu Xicheng's wrist and said in a low voice, "Fu Xicheng, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Fu Xicheng stopped in his tracks, shrugged, and sighed. "I do have difficulties, but you definitely can't help me."

"What's the deal?"

Jiang Yuning pressed on, "Fu Xicheng, if you tell me, perhaps I can help?"

Fu Xicheng looked at Jiang Yuning with a somewhat subtle expression. He looked directly into Jiang Yuning's eyes and said, "What I need right now is a girlfriend. Are you sure you can help me?"

Jiang Yuning: "..."

Jiang Yuning silently turned her face away, refusing to look at Fu Xicheng.

He brought it up with her several times, but she always seemed to avoid it.

Fu Xicheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he fully understood what Jiang Yuning meant.

He sighed, "Jiang Yuning, it seems you can't help with this."

"You, besides bowing your head, you also turn your face away. Can't you just point at my face and say, 'I'm going to be your girlfriend'?"

Jiang Yuning couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing, "Fu Xicheng, has anyone ever told you that you're funny?"

“Yes,” Fu Xicheng replied with a smile, “Only you, Jiang Yuning, said that you are cute and I am interesting, and that we could make a perfect couple. Miss Jiang, are you sure you don’t want to give it a try?”

Jiang Yuning fell silent for a moment. In fact, she had seen all of Fu Xicheng's efforts. She neither disliked nor rejected him. Whether she agreed or not was entirely up to her.
