Summer Kiss

Chapter 69 Shen Xici, stay away from Jiang Yuning

She whispered to Fu Xicheng, "Fu Xicheng, I'm going outside to take this call."

Fu Xicheng nodded, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiqian kicked Xie Linzhou next to him, telling him to quickly escape from the private room.

Xie Linzhou didn't go to see Lu Zhiqian, nor did he go to see Fu Xicheng; he was completely immersed in his own fantasy.

Until Fu Xicheng grabbed his collar...

Jiang Yuning walked outside the private room and spotted Shen Xici smoking by the window. She stopped and walked in the opposite direction.

She answered the phone, and Meng Shuyu's aggrieved voice came from the other end.

“Yu Ning, Xie Linzhou is a bastard. He took advantage of me while I was drunk last night. When I woke up this morning, I found that I was sleeping in the same bed with Xie Linzhou.”

Jiang Yuning stared in disbelief, speechless with astonishment.

Just now in the private room, Xie Linzhou asked her about Meng Shuyu as if nothing was wrong. They were already sleeping in the same bed, how could he be so leisurely chatting with her?

Meng Shuyu continued, "We slept in the same bed, but nothing happened between us last night. Yu Ning, it seems that Xie Linzhou is quite a gentleman."

Jiang Yuning breathed a sigh of relief. "Meng Shuyu, why did you stop halfway through your sentence? You scared me to death! I thought you two had actually had sex."

Meng Shuyu looked in the mirror. Today she had put on light makeup and wore six-point high heels, making herself look beautiful.

Her brother arranged a marriage for her, and even though she didn't want to go on the blind date, she still had to go.

Meng Shuyu checked her makeup in the mirror and said, "If he dares to force himself on me while I'm drunk, I'll slap his face until it's a pig's head, or I'll take his surname."

For some reason, Jiang Yuning recalled the scene of her video call with Fu Xicheng that night. She had never forgotten Xie Linzhou's face, which had been beaten into a pig's head.

If Meng Shuyu beats Xie Linzhou's face into a pig's head, then it means they are incredibly destined for each other.

"Birds of a feather flock together. Shuyu, I wonder who you and your brother inherited your temper from."

Meng Shuyu glanced at the time and realized that there was still about an hour until the date.

She needed to dress herself up carefully before saying, "Yu Ning, I have something to do, so I'll have to talk to you later."

Jiang Yuning shook her head, smiled, and hung up the phone.

She turned around, preparing to return to the private room.

At this moment, Shen Xici walked over slowly, a smile appearing on his indifferent face. "Miss Jiang, I'd like to talk to you."

Jiang Yuning lowered her eyes. She had only met the man in front of her once. Although he and Fu Xicheng might be friends, she did not want to have any contact with him.

She glanced at Shen Xici and politely declined, saying, "Fu Xicheng is still waiting for me in the private room, and I don't want to keep him waiting too long."

Shen Xici called out to her from behind, seemingly confident about the matter.

"It will only take up three minutes of Miss Jiang's time. I don't think Miss Jiang will refuse, especially since what I want to talk to you about is about Fu Xicheng."

Jiang Yuning stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Shen Xici.

Shen Xici made an inviting gesture, and Jiang Yuning stood there for a moment, then followed him to the window.

Shen Xici curled his thin lips and said in a deep voice, "Miss Jiang, do you know anything about Fu Xicheng? How much do you know about his background and family history?"

Jiang Yuning thought to herself that she knew Fu Xicheng was a wealthy and influential person, just like her boss, but she had never asked about his family in detail, and Fu Xicheng had never asked her either.

The two of them interacted naturally, neither inquiring about the other's family. Shen Xici seemed to be carefully considering his words, his gaze deep, "It seems Miss Jiang knows nothing."

He had his hands in his pockets and leaned to look at her.

“He is the heir of the powerful Fu family in Kyoto. Even if you have never heard of the Fu family, Miss Jiang, you should know that Tinglan Mansion, Cuiwei Residence, and Mina Plaza in Kyoto are all under Fu Xicheng’s name.”

"Miss Jiang, I'm telling you this so you can prepare yourself mentally in advance."

Shen Xici's words shocked Jiang Yuning. Even with her strong mentality, she couldn't quite accept the truth he was telling her.

She realized how different she was from Fu Xicheng; she hadn't expected his family to have such a profound background.

The three places Shen Xici mentioned were famous throughout China. Jiang Yuning didn't know about the Fu family in Kyoto, but she knew about these three places.

She lowered her head and said nothing.

Shen Xici did this to discourage Jiang Yuning, as he did not want her to get involved with Fu Xicheng.

He said, "Miss Jiang, even if Fu Xicheng likes you, you should think about the fact that once you enter the Fu family, you will begin a life of deceit and intrigue every day. I don't think you would like such a life."

Jiang Yuning looked down at her toes and expressed her gratitude to Shen Xici.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for telling me these things."

Inside the private room, Fu Xicheng was getting restless. He looked down and stroked his wristwatch; it had been a while since Jiang Yuning had left.

Even if you're answering a call, you should have finished by now.

He stood up, leaving the others behind.

"I'll go outside and take a look."

Fu Xicheng opened the door to the private room and walked out. He had sharp eyes and clearly saw Shen Xici and Jiang Yuning standing together talking.

Fu Xicheng's expression changed instantly. He panicked and immediately shouted, "Shen Xici, stay away from Jiang Yuning!"

Fu Xicheng's voice was loud enough that everyone inside and outside the private room heard it.

He strode out of the private room and headed towards Jiang Yuning.

Inside the private room, Lu Zhiqian, driven by curiosity, quickly stood up and quietly hid by the door, preparing to watch the show.

How could a show be complete without Xie Linzhou? He quickly walked over, crouched behind Lu Zhiqian, and secretly spied on the people not far away.

Inside the private room, only Qi Shubai sat quietly on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

Fu Xicheng walked to Shen Xici's side, grabbed his collar, and seemed to be about to beat him up.

Jiang Yuning looked serious. She grabbed Fu Xicheng's arm, trying to stop him.

“Fu Xicheng, don’t be impulsive. Mr. Shen and I were just having a casual chat.”

Want to chat?
He was worried that Shen Xici had said something he shouldn't have to Jiang Yuning, and he was even more worried that Jiang Yuning would believe Shen Xici's words.

Fu Xicheng's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He released his hand and put his arm around Jiang Yuning's waist.

He stared intently at Jiang Yuning, his voice tinged with tension and unease, "Jiang Yuning, no matter what Shen Xici tells you, don't believe him."

Jiang Yuning looked up at him, her tone indifferent, "Fu Xicheng, but I've already believed you."
