Summer Kiss

Chapter 86 Explanation
A sly glint flashed in Fu Xicheng's eyes. Lin Yuecheng's appearance only strengthened his resolve.

“Let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll recommend someone to you. She has great design talent. I hope Ms. Lin can take care of her when she has business in Haicheng.”

Lin Yuecheng was very curious to know who the person was that could get Fu Xicheng to ask for help.
Fortunately, Fu Xicheng didn't make any excessive demands, and she felt that making this deal with him was worthwhile.

Lin Yuecheng raised her wine glass and clinked it against Fu Xicheng's. She said cheerfully, "Mr. Fu, it's been a pleasure doing business with you."

Thinking that Jiang Yuning had gained another client, Fu Xicheng smiled slowly.

Just then, a waiter carrying a plate passed by them. Fu Xicheng saw that the waiter was about to bump into Lin Yuecheng, so he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Be careful."

Lin Yuecheng steadied herself and expressed her gratitude to Fu Xicheng, "Thank you, Mr. Fu. My phone isn't with me; I'll go get it later."

Fu Xicheng didn't want to go through all that trouble. "Doesn't Xu Yansheng have your WeChat? I'll have him send it to me."

Lin Yuecheng nodded. "Mr. Fu, please continue with your business. Excuse me."

In a corner, a man in a suit took several photos of Fu Xicheng and Lin Yuecheng talking.

He opened WeChat and sent the photos to someone.

Fu Xicheng walked to a quiet place, sat on the sofa, and sent a few messages to Jiang Yuning.

At that moment, a man in a suit walked over.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Fu, what a coincidence."

Fu Xicheng heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw that Meng Tingchuan was actually at Elder Lin's birthday banquet.

Fu Xicheng glanced at him indifferently and said calmly, "Mr. Meng, what a coincidence."

Meng Tingchuan arrived uninvited and sat down next to Fu Xicheng.

"Now that Mr. Fu has returned to Kyoto, please do not disturb Jiang Yuning's life any further."

Fu Xicheng frowned. He didn't understand why Meng Tingchuan always seemed to be targeting him.

In Meng Tingchuan's eyes, was he someone who casually toyed with and deceived Jiang Yuning's feelings?
He bluntly stated, "Mr. Meng, do you really not want to see Jiang Yuning happy? How do you know if she's happy with me?"

"But you lied to him."

Fu Xicheng couldn't help but sneer, his smile laced with disdain and mockery.

"When have I ever lied to her? Mr. Meng, shouldn't I be the one saying that to you? Don't interfere in my and Jiang Yuning's lives. Do you want to be a mistress?"

Meng Tingchuan clenched his fists, a hint of anger rising within him. In his eyes, Fu Xicheng was utterly unreasonable.

"Mr. Fu, please watch your wording."

“I have always been careful with my words. It has always been Mr. Meng who has been speaking rudely and trying to break me up with my girlfriend.”

When Meng Tingchuan heard Fu Xicheng's words, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Has Mr. Fu forgotten that he has a girlfriend? Just now, you were behaving intimately with Miss Lin and chatting intimately. Did you think about Jiang Yuning's feelings?"

For the first time in his life, Fu Xicheng felt disgust towards the man in front of him. He made a hasty judgment without understanding what had happened.

He didn't want to continue talking to Meng Tingchuan here; he was worried that Meng Tingchuan would lose his temper.

Fu Xicheng stood up, intending to go outside for some fresh air.

Meng Tingchuan remained seated on the sofa, his eyes gleaming with a cold light, and then his chilling voice rang out.

"Is Mr. Fu feeling guilty?"

Fu Xicheng didn't turn his head. He didn't want to see Meng Tingchuan's ugly face at all. He wondered to himself, how could Jiang Yuning have become friends with such a person?
He walked out of the banquet hall and bumped into Xu Yansheng, who was smoking, at the corner. Xu Yansheng was surrounded by smoke; he seemed to have smoked quite a bit.

"Why did you come out? Have you finished talking with Miss Lin?"

Fu Xicheng was filled with complicated emotions. He pursed his thin lips, his eyes devoid of any warmth. "Give me one."

Xu Yansheng was immediately incredulous. This was the first time in all these years that Fu Xicheng had asked him for a cigarette.

What exactly happened in the banquet hall just now that made him so worried?
He took a cigarette from the pack and handed it to Fu Xicheng across from him.

Fu Xicheng lit a cigarette in his hand, and the faint smoke swirled around him, adding to his mysterious and hazy aura.

Xu Yansheng stubbed out the cigarette at his feet and stared at Fu Xicheng through the smoke.

"Weren't you fine just now? Why did your mood suddenly turn so bad?"

Fu Xicheng parted his lips slightly, took a deep drag of the cigarette, and then exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.

"I just ran into Meng Tingchuan, Meng Shuyu's brother. He's trying to break me up with Jiang Yuning."

Xu Yansheng crossed his arms and glanced sideways at the man in front of him.

"You're unhappy because of this?"

Fu Xicheng lowered his eyes and stubbed out his cigarette.

His eyes were deep, and he had thought through the whole matter very thoroughly.

"The key is that he is Jiang Yuning's friend, so I can't just do anything to him."

Xu Yansheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Since you can't touch him, then I will."

Fu Xicheng remained silent, only lowering his head in thought; this matter was proving difficult for him.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated several times.

He opened WeChat and saw that Jiang Yuning had sent him seven messages. He smiled happily.

He opened Jiang Yuning's chat window, and when he saw the photos Jiang Yuning had sent him, his brows furrowed and his eyes became as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

He didn't reply to Jiang Yuning's message, but instead called her directly.

The phone rang many times before it was answered.

Fu Xicheng felt uneasy and tightened his grip on his phone.

"Ningning, don't ask any questions right away. Let me explain first, okay?"

An angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "Fu Xicheng, you bastard, your hands are dirty, you put your arm around another woman's shoulder."

Fu Xicheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He originally wanted to give Jiang Yuning a surprise, but now he had to tell her his true purpose.

"Ningning, the woman I was chatting with is named Lin Yuecheng. She likes Xu Yansheng. The reason I had such a good chat with her is because she is a designer."

Her company designs products for department stores in first-tier cities. I got her WeChat ID because I wanted to recommend her to you so my girlfriend could earn more money.

"There was a reason for putting my arm around her shoulder. You should know that I am a chaste person. Ningning, don't be angry. I will never have any physical contact with any man again."

After listening to Fu Xicheng's explanation, Jiang Yuning frantically picked at her clothes.

She trusted Fu Xicheng, but when she saw photos of him behaving intimately with other women, she couldn't help but want to question him.
