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

Chapter 116 Test
When Song Jinyue woke up, Fu Sinian was no longer there.

She got up, stretched, tidied up, and went downstairs.

Aunt Wu was chatting with Grandma Fu and Tang Wanhua on the sofa when she heard the noise and turned to look at the stairwell.

"Yueyue, you're awake. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"Fifth Aunt, I've had enough sleep."

Looking around and noticing that Fifth Uncle and Fu Sinian were not there, he asked in confusion, "Where did Fifth Uncle and Sinian go?"

Fifth Aunt explained, "Your Fifth Uncle took her to exercise."

Song Jinyue understood; it seemed this was one of the tests Fifth Uncle was giving him.

She knew firsthand how good Fu Sinian's physical condition was, and she was confident she would pass this test.

"Yueyue, are you hungry? There's some food left for you in the kitchen, just heat it up and you can eat."

"I ate dinner late last night, so I'm not hungry yet. Let's eat together at noon."

Song Jinyue also sat down on the sofa and joined their conversation.

"I heard there's a performance at the square tonight, and a fireworks show at nine o'clock. Yueyue, why don't you come with us then?"

Fifth Aunt brought up this matter.

"Okay."

Upon arriving here, Song Jinyue hadn't seen any performances or fireworks displays yet, so she immediately agreed.

"Okay, okay, let's go together tonight. You've been settling in well these past few months in the army, haven't you?"

"Don't worry, Auntie Wu, I'm doing well in the army. The women in the family compound are all very kind, and my colleagues at the hospital are very kind to me. You don't need to worry about me."

Song Jinyue took her fifth aunt's arm to reassure her.

"That's good. You've grown up so fast. Your fifth uncle and I have no other wishes but that you and Si Nian can be well."

"Don't worry, Fifth Aunt. It's a blessing for our family that Yueyue is able to marry into our family. I will definitely treat her like my own daughter. If Si Nian dares to make Yueyue angry in the future, I will definitely not let him off the hook."

Tang Wanhua immediately expressed her opinion, and Grandma Fu nodded in agreement.

“Huilan, I raised Si Nian myself. I know him well. Although he seems cold on the surface, he is actually very thoughtful and knows how to care for people. He will definitely not let Yueyue suffer in the future.”

Fifth Aunt smiled and said, "I think Si Nian is also a very good person. I feel at ease entrusting Yue Yue to him."

At that moment, Fu Sinian, who was being praised by his fifth aunt, was standing under the tree, watching his fifth uncle and grandfather play chess.

Fifth Uncle was determined to give him a good test, so he got up very early this morning.

Grandpa Fu was a light sleeper, and the two of them got up at almost the same time.

The two old men were practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard when Fu Shuwen and Fu Sinian came downstairs.

Originally, Fifth Uncle wanted to take Fu Sinian out for exercise alone, but Grandpa Fu and Fu Shuwen, who had nothing to do at home, insisted on coming along.

The four of them went to the park together. Seeing Fu Sinian run ten kilometers in one go, Uncle Wu, who was sitting on a chair panting, was a little annoyed.

I miscalculated. I should have avoided testing my physical fitness!
In terms of physical fitness, Fu Sinian passed the test without a doubt.

Then, Fifth Uncle led them to his usual chess-playing spot, where he played chess with Grandpa Fu, leaving Fu Sinian to wait on the sidelines to test his patience.

More than an hour passed, and Fu Sinian stood quietly to the side, showing no impatience whatsoever.

They passed the test in terms of patience.

After wandering around outside for two or three hours, it was almost time for dinner. Uncle Wu led Fu Sinian and Grandpa Fu home together.

Yesterday, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt prepared dinner in advance, so Fu Sinian didn't have a chance to show off his cooking skills. Today, after arriving home, he washed his hands and went to the kitchen immediately. Fifth Aunt quickly stopped him, "Sinian, I'll cook. You should go to the living room and find Yueyue."

Even though they are a family, it's not right to ask them to cook for you on your first visit.

"It's alright, Fifth Aunt. I used to cook for Yueyue when we were in the army. I'm a pretty good cook. Let me make lunch today. You and Yueyue haven't seen each other for several months. We've come all this way, so you two should spend more time together."

As Fu Sinian spoke, he picked up the vegetables from the side and started washing them.

Judging from his skillful movements, he must do this often.

Fifth Aunt was increasingly satisfied with Fu Sinian.

Uncle Wu at the door stroked his beard after hearing Fu Sinian's words, and quietly took out a small notebook and pen from his cloth bag, and put a checkmark on it.

He's hardworking and sweet-talking, and he seems to have passed the test in terms of family responsibility.

Aunt Wu had just come out of the kitchen when she saw Uncle Wu hiding by the door. Startled, she patted her chest.

Just as she was about to speak, Fifth Uncle quickly put his finger to his lips to signal silence, and then pulled Fifth Aunt aside.

"Shh, honey, you mustn't ruin my important business!"

Fifth Aunt glanced at the little notebook in his hand, her lips twitching. "I think you're just bored!"

Si Nian is outstanding in appearance, family background, and job. I really don't know what this old man could possibly be dissatisfied with.

"Yes, yes, I'm just bored. Honey, I don't expect you to take the test with me. Just don't ruin my plans."

Fifth Aunt ignored him and went back to the living room.

When Song Jinyue came out, Fifth Uncle was looking at the tests he hadn't finished in his notebook.

"Fifth Uncle, what are you holding in your hand?"

Upon hearing Song Jinyue's voice, Fifth Uncle quickly stuffed the notebook into his pocket and pretended to be calm, saying, "N-nothing!"

"Really? Then show it to me."

Song Jinyue guessed what he had written in his notebook, so she started to coax and plead with him.

Fifth Uncle clutched the bag tightly, his beard bristling and eyes wide, and said, "You brat, let me tell you, you won't listen to my nonsense!"

If Yue girl finds out what's written in her little notebook and then tells the Fu family boy, what's the point of this investigation?
Just plug in the correct answer!
The Fifth Uncle, who usually doted on Song Jinyue, was unusually resolute today, refusing to listen to anything she said, whether soft or hard.

Song Jinyue had no choice but to give up and let Fu Sinian do as he pleased.

Fu Sinian was very efficient at cooking; he made several dishes in just one hour.

"Si Nian's cooking skills are really good, it's delicious, Yue Yue is so lucky to have such good food."

Fifth Aunt tasted the dish Fu Sinian made and smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared.

At first, Fifth Uncle thought Fifth Aunt was just being polite because she was on Fu Sinian's side, so he took a bite with some skepticism.

His eyes lit up, and he secretly gave Fu Sinian a checkmark in his mind.

Cooking skills: Pass!
As the number of checkmarks in the notebook increased, Fifth Uncle became more and more satisfied with his grandson-in-law, Fu Sinian.

They just don't say it.

After dinner, the family went to the square that Aunt Wu had mentioned, intending to watch the performances and enjoy the fireworks show.

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
