Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Fu Sichen saw Xu Qingcheng looking in her second brother's direction, so she followed her gaze and asked, "Fairy Sister, do you know them?"

"I know them. But we're not close."

"It seems like they're going to get married." Fu Sichen glanced at Xu Qingcheng.

"Hmm. I've heard about it." Xu Qingcheng looked away, her expression calm and expressionless.

Fu Sichen swallowed the cake on his plate, sighed, and said, "Never mind, I'll introduce you to something better."

"Hmm?" Xu Qingcheng looked at her and chuckled. "You were thinking of introducing me to a boyfriend? Didn't I tell you I don't need one?"

"That one?" Fu Sichen pointed in the direction of CEO Qin, his tone decisive. "You two will definitely break up."

"Why?" Xu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow.

"They're not a good match. Even if it's a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, the cow dung still needs some nutrients. He's not even as good as the cow dung."

puff……

Xu Qingcheng almost burst out laughing. She moved the glass of red wine in her hand aside and said, "You're such a sucker!"

"I'm telling the truth." Fu Sichen turned her head and suddenly pulled Xu Qingcheng, "Let's go say hello."

Xu Qingcheng was dragged along by her until they arrived in front of Fu Jingting and Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan, with her arm linked with Fu Jingting's, had just finished greeting someone and her sweet smile hadn't faded when she saw Xu Qingcheng.

Then, his expression broke down.

Xu Qingcheng clicked her tongue softly.

Fu Sichen said enthusiastically, "Brother Jingting, Sister Wenhan, congratulations! They say every pot has its lid, and even a turtle and a mung bean can find a match. You two are truly a perfect couple. Congratulations!"

Her eyes were curved, her mouth was sweet, and she seemed innocent and cute, but what she said didn't sound like congratulations at all.

Xu Qingcheng tried hard to suppress her laughter.

Fu Jingting knew Fu Sichen too well; he would only give her face in front of outsiders and was too lazy to retaliate.

He glanced at Xu Qingcheng, though he was distracted.

She wore light makeup, which made her look less glamorous and more charming.

Ye Wenhan's face turned green with anger. If it weren't for the fact that she was Fu Jingting's sister, she would never have let her off the hook.

Even though she was angry, she pretended to be polite, saying, "Si Chen will have her day too. She'll know she's made the right choice when she meets someone she likes."

Fu Sichen rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "I'm too thin-skinned to lower myself to fawn over her."

Her words were pointed, and Ye Wenhan's smile cracked with anger.

Xu Qingcheng wasn't here to cause trouble. She quickly pulled Fu Sichen aside and said politely, "She's just a kid, and her words aren't very pleasant, but her heart is good. Congratulations to you both, your good fortune is just around the corner."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Fu Sichen to leave, but whether she pulled too hard or not, Fu Sichen was pulled so hard that he bumped into her.

Xu Qingcheng's dress reached her ankles, and the fitted fishtail hem confined her legs. Before she could dodge, she was pushed and shoved away.

What a coincidence that they bumped into each other.

Xu Qingcheng fell directly into Fu Jingting's arms. He caught her, his hands resting on her waist and hips, his palms burning hot against her.

His familiar scent immediately filled her nostrils, and Xu Qingcheng quickly straightened up, only to be met with Ye Wenhan's aggressive gaze.

Tsk.

She did it on purpose.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Sister Qingcheng. I'm not used to wearing high heels and I bumped into you. Luckily, my brother was quick enough to save the day." Fu Sichen apologized hastily.

Hmph, she did it on purpose, she just wanted to disgust Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan's face turned ashen, and she didn't dare to lash out. Before she came, her older brother had repeatedly told her not to cause trouble.

The man only released his grip after Xu Qingcheng regained her footing. He glanced at Fu Sichen with a cool look, as if warning her.

Fu Sichen snorted, took Xu Qingcheng's arm, and started to leave. "Sister Qingcheng, my second brother is a bit ugly with his fat head and big ears, but I also have an older brother. Although his health isn't very good, he's a... oh dear..."

Suddenly, her ear was twisted off, and Fu Sichen fell backward, where she saw her second brother's very unfriendly face.

In broad daylight, in front of everyone, he... he... he... he actually pulled her ear?!

"Ears, ears, ears! Let go!" Fu Sichen shouted, jumping up and down, his face flushed red. He dared not raise his voice for fear of attracting more attention.

"You can continue talking nonsense," Fu Jingting warned her.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." Fu Sichen surrendered.

Fu Jingting stopped.

Fu Sichen covered his ears with one hand and jumped a big step away from him, then grabbed Xu Qingcheng and ran away.

Once they were a distance away, Fu Sichen reverted to his old ways, angrily cursing, "Who does he think he is? I'm seventeen years old, and he actually pulled my ear! With so many people around, do you think I have no shame? I'm so angry, so angry!"

Xu Qingcheng stared at her strangely; Fu Jingting's actions alone were incredibly odd.

No matter how shameless a man is, he wouldn't twist another person's young girl's ear, would he?

That feeling was both strange and inexplicably intimate.

Fu Sichen rubbed her ear with one hand. Seeing Xu Qingcheng staring at her, she blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you two particularly close?"

"It's alright, he's not a very close relative, I'll reluctantly call him brother." Fu Sichen snorted.

Xu Qingcheng burst out laughing at his reluctant little face.

"I know all the uncles and aunts in the Fu family. Didn't you want to greet the host? Come on, I'll take you there."

Xu Qingcheng thought for a moment and then refused, "Never mind."

Why?

She smiled but didn't say anything, simply saying, "You go ahead with your work, I'll leave as soon as I'm done."

Fu Sichen wanted to say that she wasn't busy, but Zhong Wanxiu was calling her.

"The rooster crows at dawn."

Fu Sichen had no choice but to go first. "Sister, I'll go over there first."

Xu Qingcheng nodded. She looked over and saw the little girl walking towards a lady.

Xu Qingcheng paused for a moment, noticing that the face looked familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it before.

Their eyes met unexpectedly from a distance. Out of politeness, Xu Qingcheng nodded slightly before turning and walking towards the corner.

"Mom." Fu Sichen ran over.

Zhong Wanxiu withdrew her gaze, her brows furrowing slightly. "You know that Miss Xu? What did you say?"

"Well, we're acquainted, I guess. We were just chatting. What's up?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhong Wanxiu reminded her.

"I know, do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Fu Sichen pouted. "Besides, don't think my second brother is some hot commodity that everyone wants to throw themselves at. He doesn't even care."

Zhong Wanxiu glared at her.

Fu Sichen stuck out his tongue. "I just feel a strong connection with that older sister. Last time, she even got bumped into because of me, and she didn't even know I was Fu Sichen."

"Really? Did you thank them?"

"Thanks. I bought her coffee." Fu Sichen tilted his head. "I think this woman has a great personality. Mom, I have the right to make my own friends, right? You can't interfere."

Zhong Wanxiu frowned, patted her head, and said, "Don't cause trouble for your second brother."

"I'm not going to cause him any trouble."

The two walked past each other, talking as they went.
