Seeking love through marriage: Mr. is too arrogant

Looking at the scars on Lu Sichen's face, Jiang Manxue even frowned.

"It's okay." Lu Sichen shook his head.

He was glad that Jiang Manxue still cared about him.

"Manman, and something about Lin Yaru..." Lu Sichen opened his mouth.

He hesitated to tell Jiang Manxue about Lin Yaru, but in the end, before he could say anything, Jiang Manxue interrupted him.

"I don't want to ask more about you and Lin Yaru, and I don't want to know."

Jiang Manxue interrupted all his next words with just one sentence.

Then, she looked down at the time and asked, "Apart from this matter, is there anything else to say?"

Lu Sichen knew that now was not a good time.

The first sentence he said, that he wanted Jiang Manxue to marry him, was also blocked in his mouth.

"Let's talk about it later," he said.

Jiang Manxue nodded, and thanked him softly before getting out of the car.

"My mother's business thank you."

Lu Sichen was startled, then shook his head: "No, no matter what, Auntie Jiang is very kind to me, and I was also raised by her."

Having said that, it would be meaningless to say thank you.

Jiang Manxue was not overly entangled, she nodded slightly, and then left the car.

Lu Sichen watched her re-enter the market, and when she came out again, she already had the bought ingredients in her hand, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

……

When Jiang Manxue returned home, the sun had not yet set.

She didn't go upstairs to see Fu Qingye immediately, but processed all the ingredients in the kitchen and stewed them again before going upstairs.

"Aye?" Jiang Manxue brought a plate of fruit, and gently knocked on the door of the study.

"En." Fu Qingye's deep voice came from the room.

Jiang Manxue pushed the door open, but didn't go in right away.

She poked her head out a little and observed Fu Qingye for a few seconds.

Seeing Fu Qingye stop what she was doing and beckon to her, Jiang Manxue entered the study with the plate of strawberries in her hands.

"I'm back." Fu Qingye looked her up and down, and asked calmly, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Jiang Manxue said with a smile: "I asked them to help buy a few condiments, but they couldn't tell which brand was good, so it was a bit of a waste of time."

It was true. When she left Lu Sichen's car, the bodyguards hadn't returned yet, so she waited for a long time before joining them.

Fu Qingye laughed along with her.

"I re-boiled the soup, and washed some strawberries for you by the way, would you like to try it?"

As Jiang Manxue said, she picked up the strawberry in her hand like offering a treasure, and held it in front of Fu Qingye.

"Hmm." Fu Qingye took her hand and put his arms around her: "You feed me?"

"Okay." Jiang Manxue and he often played this kind of intimate game in private, so Jiang Manxue did not refuse his proposal at all.

She picked the most beautiful strawberry, pinched off the leaves, and pinched it with her fingertips to Fu Qingye's lips.

"Try it? The stall owner said that it doesn't cost money if it's not sweet. You can tell me if I've been cheated."

The strawberries are juicy and sweet, and when the tip of the tongue is slightly pressed, the juice fills the entire mouth.

In addition, Fu Qingye was amused by her words, and couldn't help chuckling: "Sweet, very sweet."

However, when his gaze moved down, Fu Qingye's gaze fell on Jiang Manxue's wrist.

The smile on the corner of his lips froze immediately, as if he had been completely frozen.

Even the emotions were completely depressed.

Jiang Manxue was keenly aware of Fu Qingye's emotional changes: "What's wrong?"

As she spoke, her wrist was gently supported by his palm.

Fu Qingye asked: "How did this happen?"

On her fair wrist, there were clearly a few finger prints.

Jiang Manxue's expression changed slightly, and she looked a little flustered.

"It's still a little swollen. Who made it?" Fu Qingye's fingers gently stroked the skin on her wrist. Although the tone of her voice didn't fluctuate too much, Jiang Manxue could keenly feel that he was undercurrent at the moment. anger.

"I was not careful..." Jiang Manxue turned her wrist, grabbed Fu Qingye's hand accurately, and naturally hid her arm under Fu Qingye's arm.

Her tone was a little coquettish.

"As you know, I forget everything when I'm working. The inspiration came too fast before, and I was too engrossed in thinking about it. I didn't notice why I pinched my wrist and swelled."

There was a smile on Jiang Manxue's lips, coaxing Fu Qingye: "Besides, who dares to fight with me now? With you protecting me, no one dares to touch me."

Fu Qingye didn't say a word, he looked down at Jiang Manxue and his handshake, knowing it well.

As Jiang Manxue said, with him around, no one dared to touch her.

However, only one dared.

Thinking of that person, the emotion deep in Fu Qingye's eyes turned cold again.

"How do I remember that you didn't have this mark on your hands before?" Fu Qingye said before she went out.

Jiang Manxue smiled calmly, with a relaxed and natural look on her face: "That must be your memory."

There was no clue on her face, but the more so, Fu Qingye's heart sank even more.

Jiang Manxue was lying.

Fu Qingye knew about this clearly, but he didn't expose her at all.

Once exposed, what they face may not necessarily be a bigger lie, or an irreparable rift.

Fu Qingye could only hide this topic and never mention it again.

"Maybe I remember wrong."

Jiang Manxue is actually not as calm as she appears on the surface.

She was so flustered and guilty that she breathed a sigh of relief almost when Fu Qingye said this.Then he went on to ask him: "The construction of that land has been ordered, when will it start?"

Jiang Manxue tried her best to keep the conversation casual, and listened to the news with Fu Qingye calmly.

"Soon." Fu Qingye also answered very simply on this matter, "After those buildings are demolished, construction can start. The plan has been made, do you want to see it?"

Jiang Manxue nodded.

But her thoughts were still on that piece of land, so she couldn't help asking again.

"Then before starting construction, do you want someone to check that area?"

When Jiang Manxue asked this question, she looked into Fu Qingye's eyes and said hesitantly.

"Why?" Fu Qingye looked at her suspiciously.

"I heard before that there seems to be some treasure in that field..." Jiang Manxue blinked her eyes with an innocent face.

She showed a little curiosity: "You said what if there is a baby buried underneath?"

Then, Fu Qingye laughed.

"You're talking about that rumor from a few years ago, right?" He thought for a while, and couldn't help pinching Jiang Manxue's earlobe, "When did our family, Axue, start to believe such nonsense?"

Jiang Manxue corrected him sternly: "How can it be nonsense? What if it is true? Didn't it mean that there were treasure hunters looking for it before?"

"If there is a treasure, those treasure hunters will also find it. If not, then they will return empty-handed." Fu Qingye shook his head lightly, but seeing her excited appearance, he still couldn't bear to refuse, and finally nodded in agreement She accepted her proposal: "However, since we, Axue, want to know if there is any baby so much, then we will find someone to investigate."

Jiang Manxue's eyes lit up in an instant.

She took Fu Qingye's arm and asked him, "Can you do a survey?"

"Of course it is possible." Fu Qingye nodded, "It may not have been possible before, but in recent years, the development has been rapid, and many new things have been released about treasure hunting. You are so curious, in a few days I will call the survey team Come and check that place."

After saying that, Fu Qingye couldn't help laughing.

"Maybe we can really find some treasure from it."

He intentionally teased Jiang Manxue: "At that time, we, Axue, will still get a windfall."

But Jiang Manxue, who understood what the so-called 'treasure' was, couldn't help laughing.

She thought, if she didn't find it, she would lack the most important 'physical evidence', but if she did find it...

At that time, the Fu family will really be implicated, then at that time, will Fu Qingye blame her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Manxue couldn't help clasping Fu Qingye's hand.

Her eyes were heavy, and she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she heard Fu Qingye ask: "Baby, what's the smell..."

Jiang Manxue jumped up from his arms in an instant, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Oops! My chicken soup!"

After speaking, she quickly ran downstairs.

It made Fu Qingye call her from behind: "Be careful!"

However, if it was normal, Fu Qingye would have gone downstairs with him long ago, but today he was not moving.

But Jiang Manxue was worried about the chicken soup in the pot, so she didn't take it to heart.

In the study, Fu Qingye called the bodyguard.

After he asked carefully about going to buy ingredients in the afternoon, he hung up.

Just as he thought, Jiang Manxue probably rushed to the market to meet Lu Sichen this afternoon.

In order to see Lu Sichen, she did not hesitate to tell one lie after another, and she even did not hesitate to pour out the soup that she had carefully stewed for several hours.

Fu Qingye's eyes fell on the strawberries in the fruit plate, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.

After all, is Lu Sichen still so important? !
This question is like a thorn, always stuck in his heart, it hurts a little when he doesn't touch it, but it will drive him crazy if he touches it a little!
The only person who can get rid of this thorn is still unwilling to explain to him.

Fu Qingye calmed down for a long time before he could settle down in his heart.

After about half an hour or so, he finally went downstairs.

And it happened that Jiang Manxue brought out the soup pot.

She smiled brightly at Fu Qingye: "Aye, come and have a taste, I made you a new soup, this time the taste must be better than last time!"

The depression that was still lingering in his heart completely dissipated when he saw Jiang Manxue's smile.

Fu Qingye smiled warmly, sat down at the dining table obediently, and picked up the spoon cooperatively.

"Well, it's really delicious. Our Axue's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

His cooperation like this made Jiang Manxue feel more guilty.

So, the two of them sat at the table with their own thoughts and finished the dinner together, but neither seemed to have any appetite.

Because of Fu Qingye's injury, Jiang Manxue didn't allow him to work too late, and prepared bath water for him in advance.

Just when she was about to call Fu Qingye to take a shower in the bathroom, her cell phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Manxue glanced at the screen casually, but found that there were only a few words of unknown number displayed on it, not even half a number.

She answered the phone suspiciously, but before she could speak, she heard the person on the other side lower her voice and speak.

"Jiang Manxue." This was the voice of a man Jiang Manxue had never heard before, "You are that little girl from the Jiang family, Jiang Manxue, right?"

Immediately, Jiang Manxue's heart rose.

"I am." She answered carefully while pinching the phone, "Excuse me, are you..."

"Your father, Jiang Zhengyang, is an old friend of mine."

The man on the other end of the phone said: "I called you to remind you that the land in your hand cannot be moved."

His voice was low and deep, as if he was talking about a matter of life and death.

"You must not touch that land. Stop the project you are working on now." He almost had a warning tone, "Otherwise, you will get into big trouble in the near future."

When the other party mentioned the land, Jiang Manxue's heart began to pound.

She squeezed the phone tightly and asked hurriedly, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know my identity, you just need to know that I have absolutely no malice towards you."

The man said, very solemnly: "Son, do as I say. You can do whatever you want, and I can keep you safe. But only the land and what your father left you, you Absolutely not to move."

When Jiang Manxue said these words, what Lu Sichen said not long ago flashed in his mind.

"There is someone behind you who has been hiding the identity of the land owner. He is protecting you."

Jiang Manxue couldn't help asking anxiously: "Who are you? Did you hide it..."

However, before Jiang Manxue finished speaking, the other party cut off the call.

"Hey! Hey—!"

Jiang Manxue pinched the phone, she yelled loudly, but no one answered on the other side of the phone.

She didn't give up, and called back the phone again, but no matter how she dialed, the reminder from the other side was always an empty number.

Just when Jiang Manxue's face became more and more ugly, Fu Qingye knocked on the bathroom door.

"Axue, what's the matter?" He came over and held Jiang Manxue's shoulder, "I heard your voice just now, who are you calling?"

Jiang Manxue's hands trembled a little.

Even her eye sockets were slightly red.

She eagerly grabbed Fu Qingye's hand and threw herself into his arms.

"Aye, I... I just received a call..."

Jiang Manxue's panic was severe. When she saw Fu Qingye, she couldn't help but want to seek comfort, and she unconsciously spoke out.

However, when the words reached her lips, she suddenly realized that she shouldn't have told Fu Qingye about this.

So there was an emergency pause, but it was already too late.

Fu Qingye ran down her hair soothingly, and asked in a low voice: "Well, I heard it. Who called and made you so excited?"

He heard?

He heard it!

In an instant, Jiang Manxue realized this.

She raised her head from Fu Qingye's arms almost at the same moment, staring at him tightly with her eyes.

Fu Qingye...how much has he heard?
