On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 108 Me, Weak?!

But words spoken are like water spilled; they can't be taken back.

Fu Shi'an could only try his best to curry favor with Fu Sinian, hoping that he would change his mind.

"Third brother, come on, have some watermelon, this one is the sweetest."

Fu Shi'an handed Fu Sinian a slice of watermelon with a fawning expression, practically wearing the word "flattery" on his face.

Fu Sinian didn't refuse; he took the watermelon offered by him, but didn't eat it. Instead, he gave it to Song Jinyue.

"Yueyue, here you go."

Before Song Jinyue could speak, Tang Wanhua spoke first, "Yueyue, quickly taste if it's sweet."

Song Jinyue took it, tasted it, and her eyes crinkled into a smile. "Mmm, sweet."

Tang Wanhua smiled and said, "As long as it's sweet, eat a few more pieces to quench your thirst."

Watermelons are long past their season, and she had to ask someone to buy these two watermelons for her at a state-run store.

"Mom, Grandma, Yiran, Second Sister-in-law, you all eat too."

Fu Shi'an gave each of them a piece, and after distributing them all, he gave Fu Sinian a piece as well.

"Third brother, you eat too."

After Fu Sinian took the watermelon, Fu Shi'an sat down next to him on the armrest of the sofa.

"Third brother, you must be exhausted from the journey back. Let me massage your shoulders."

As she spoke, she began massaging Fu Sinian's shoulders again.

Fu Sinian enjoyed his services with a clear conscience.

While massaging his shoulders, Fu Shi'an observed Fu Sinian's expression. Taking advantage of Fu Sinian's good mood, he said with a grin, "Third Brother, was my service adequate?"

"Yeah, not bad."

Fu Sinian said calmly.

Fu Shi'an quickly pressed his advantage, "Then how about we just drop the training thing?"

"No."

Fu Sinian uttered two words, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

"Huh?" Fu Shi'an suddenly stood up from the sofa armrest. "Third Brother, you, you, you're being unreasonable! I've been serving you all this way, why won't you let me off the hook!"

Fu Sinian said without changing his expression, "No one forced you."

Fu Shi'an was on the verge of tears. "Third brother, my dear third brother, please forgive me for working overtime all this time. I want to take advantage of the holiday to rest and catch up on some sleep."

When force didn't work, Fu Shi'an had to resort to gentler methods, whimpering and shaking Fu Sinian's arm.

Fu Sinian remained unmoved.

He's not buying it.

Unless... it's his wife who's being affectionate.

"Training? What training?"

Xie Yiran looked over curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that your third brother noticed Shi An's health wasn't as good as before, so he wanted to help him exercise," Tang Wanhua explained.

After saying that, he turned to Fu Shi'an and said, "Shi'an, your third brother is only doing this for your own good. Otherwise, why would he only train you and not others? Besides, what's wrong with exercising?"

"You've been busy with work lately, and your health will suffer sooner or later if you keep doing that. Let me tell you, don't take it for granted just because you're young. You'll regret it when you get older and have backaches and leg pains."

Fu Shi'an: "..."

Okay, okay, what a great way to only bring him and not anyone else!

"Heh...hehe...so it seems that Third Brother's 'kindness' to me is truly unique!"

"Mom is right, Shi'an. Third Brother has come back for a long time and even took the time to train you. Don't let his good intentions go to waste."

Xie Yiran winked at Fu Shi'an.

Upon hearing this, Fu Shi'an tried his best to wink at her.

Silly wife, don't you listen to what you're saying? Third Brother's training isn't just about running! Everyone else protects their husbands, but his wife is pushing him into a fire pit!

“Look at your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. Aren’t they all strong and healthy? Standing next to them, you are the weakest.”

Xie Yiran said with a very serious expression.

Fu Shi'an stared wide-eyed as if struck by lightning, pointing at himself in disbelief, "Me?! Weak?!"

"If you don't believe me, ask Mom, Grandma, and your second and third sisters-in-law. See if you're the weakest of the four of you standing together."

Seeing that Fu Shi'an did not believe her, Xie Yiran immediately pulled out Tang Wanhua and others to testify.

Song Jinyue glanced at Fu Shi'an, whose expression had turned to stone, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fu Shi'an is the "puppy-like" type, with fair skin, while Fu Sinian is a handsome man with striking features and is also a soldier who has fought on the battlefield, so his aura is undeniable.

Fu Mingqian and Fu Xiuyan are both quite mature and steady, and when the four of them stand together, Fu Shi'an is indeed the weakest in terms of presence.

"You're still right, Shi An, you really need to get some serious training."

Grandma Fu nodded in agreement.

"Okay, stop talking, Third Brother, I'll go training with you tomorrow!"

Fu Shi'an gritted his teeth. He had been very resistant just now, but because of Xie Yiran's words, he couldn't wait to start exercising right now.

"They are aware of their responsibilities."

Fu Sinian affirmed his attitude.

"Honey, I'm going to train with my third brother tomorrow. And also, I'm not weak at all!"

Looking at Fu Shi'an, who was gritting his teeth, Xie Yiran was completely bewildered.

She was just telling the truth. Compared to her older brothers, Shi An's aura was indeed weaker.

Tch, they won't even let me speak the truth, what a hypocrite!
The couple were completely on different wavelengths, and that's how the perfect misunderstanding arose.

After lunch, Tang Wanhua originally planned to let Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue rest first, and then go to the department store to pick out gifts for her fifth uncle and aunt after they had recovered their energy.

But Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue couldn't sleep at all when they thought about going to Shanghai in a couple of days.

One was excited, the other was nervous.

"Since Yueyue and Si Nian aren't sleepy, let's go to the department store and pick out some things now."

"Mom, I want to go too!"

Xie Yiran, who had originally planned to take a nap, instantly perked up when she heard that they were going to the department store.

She loves going shopping with her second and third sisters-in-law the most.

"Grandma, we want to go too. We promise we won't cry, make a fuss, or run around."

Four little radish-heads ran over and acted cute.

Tang Wanhua smiled and pinched their cheeks. "Alright, alright, let's go together."

Apart from Grandpa Fu, Fu Shuwen, Fu Mingqian, and Fu Xiuyan, everyone else in the Fu family went to the department store.

Fu Sinian went to pick out gifts for his fifth uncle and aunt, and also asked Song Jinyue to pick out a couple of outfits for him so he could dress up nicely when he went to see them.

As for Fu Shi'an, he was simply a tool to fetch things.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, look! That coat over there looks nice. Let's go take a look."

Xie Yiran loves beauty, and as soon as she arrived at the department store, she pulled Song Jinyue and Ye Sangning toward the clothing area in front.

"Hey, Yiran, slow down!"

Upon seeing this, Fu Shi'an quickly followed.

Tang Wanhua and Grandma Fu led the children toward the food section, intending to buy some food.

After learning from Song Jinyue that his fifth uncle loved tea, Fu Sinian went to the side and picked up some tea leaves.

Just then, a surprised voice came from the side.

"You are... Brother Si Nian?"
