Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Song Fengwan spent the entire night thinking about the matters in her family, and she only slept for a short while at around four in the morning. When she woke up, her eyes were bloodshot.

“Wanwan, get ready and come out for breakfast. Your Uncle Yan and Third Master are here,” Qiao Aiyun said in a slightly hoarse voice after knocking on the door.

“Coming.” Song Fengwan tidied up before opening the door.

Yan Wangchuan and Fu Chen were sitting next to each other. Although they didn’t speak, the atmosphere around them was completely different from last night.

It was not as confrontational but rather subtly friendly.

“Good morning, Uncle Yan. Good morning, Third Master…” They were her seniors, so she naturally became more well-behaved. Her gaze landed on another person, and she smiled. “Good morning, Big Brother Duan. ”

“Ah…” Duan Linbai’s voice was hoarse, and he could only make some noises. He couldn’t even utter a single word clearly.

“Why is your throat hoarse?” He was still speaking boisterously at the Song family mansion yesterday though?

“He was crying and howling in his room despite still having a cold, so his voice went hoarse after all that screaming.” Fu Chen sipped water calmly without any guilt on his face.

Duan Linbai exploded in anger. F*ck, what do you mean by ‘voice went hoarse after all that screaming’?!

If you didn’t suddenly cut my power off, would I have strained my voice until it became hoarse?

“Then you have to protect your throat better. Don’t talk too much and drink more water.” Song Fengwan still felt that it was a pity.

She had almost gone through Duan Linbai’s entire Weibo yesterday. Just from the words alone, she could tell that he was an interesting person.

She thought that they would be able to chat when they met, but it’s a pity that…

“Wanwan, don’t just stand there. Come and eat.” Qiao Aiyun called her over.

“Uncle Yan, Third Master, have you eaten? Do you want to join us?” Song Fengwan’s good upbringing still made her ask them first.

“I’ve eaten. Go ahead,” Yan Wangchuan said.

There was a lot of food. From the packaging, it was apparent that it came from two different breakfast shops. Although Song Fengwan didn’t have an appetite, she still drank a few sips of soy milk.

“I’ve just discussed with your Uncle Yan and Fu Chen. I will stay behind to settle the family matters. Fu Chen will be going back to the capital, and you should go with him. Don’t let this disrupt your studies.” Qiao Aiyun didn’t sleep all night, and her face looked extremely haggard.

“But…” Song Fengwan was really worried about her being here alone.

“It’s fine. Your Uncle Yan will stay behind to help me. I’ll feel at ease if you’re with Fu Chen because you’ll have someone to look out for you.”

Actually, Sun Qionghua had called her just now to invite both her and Song Fengwan to dinner to apologize to them. She also said that she could bring Wanwan along with her back to the capital together.

But compared to her, Qiao Aiyun trusted Fu Chen more.

“Later, go pack your things and leave with Fu Chen. Your exams are soon, and time is tight. You won’t be able to help much even if you stay here anyway.”

Qiao Aiyun had already made the decision in her heart. Song Fengwan didn’t want to be a burden at this time and make her worry, so she nodded in agreement.

Not far away, Fu Chen and Yan Wangchuan looked at each other and took a sip of hot tea at the same time.

Sitting opposite them, Duan Linbai almost fainted from anger.

Damn it. You’re bullying me because I can’t speak, aren’t you?

***

Actually, about ten minutes ago, they bumped into each other at the hotel elevator…

Duan Linbai didn’t know Yan Wangchuan, and he only felt that this man had an aloof face that looked so cold that he had no friends.

After getting in the elevator, Fu Chen suddenly said, “You didn’t reject my proposal last night. So today, I have an immature suggestion that I want to discuss with you.”

Duan Linbai was stunned. Who is he talking to?

Yan Wangchuan said, “Go ahead.”

“It’s like this. Wanwan is a student after all, so we can’t disrupt her studies. She only came here because she was worried about Aunt Yun being here alone.”

“And?”

“If you can stay and help Aunt Yun, Wanwan will feel at ease and be able to return to the capital to study with peace of mind.”

“Return to the capital with you, right?” Yan Wangchuan’s expression was still cold.

“Since we are on the same side, I will create opportunities for you, and you will help me out. None of us will lose out.” Fu Chen’s fingertips slid over the prayer beads in his hand as a glint flashed across his eyes.

It wasn’t until the elevator reached the floor of Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan’s room did Yan Wangchuan say, “Deal.”

Duan Linbai was completely dumbfounded as he watched the two sly old foxes shake hands. These two shameless old beasts are actually secretly plotting this…

“Oh yeah, will he…” Yan Wangchuan tilted his head and glanced at Duan Linbai, meaning: Will he expose our deal?

“He’s a mute.” Fu Chen smiled.

Duan Linbai was so angry that he almost went up to scratch Fu Chen. This f*cking bastard.

You’re the one who’s f*cking mute. Your whole family is mute.

You’re bullying me because I can’t speak, aren’t you?

“I…” Duan Linbai’s throat hurt once he spoke.

“The doctor said that forcing yourself to speak is very harmful to your throat. If you don’t want to have a male duck voice[1], be quiet,” Fu Chen warned him before leaving the elevator.

A male duck voice? A certain someone instantly became silent.

***

Thus, when the two of them saw Qiao Aiyun, they acted in concert and told her the immature suggestion.

Qiao Aiyun didn’t want Song Fengwan to get involved in these messy matters in the first place. Their suggestion resolved her worries, so she felt assured and immediately nodded in agreement.

Sitting at the side, Duan Linbai kept shaking his head.

He coughed slightly, and two people looked at him simultaneously.

They were clearly warning him: Those who value their lives should be quiet.

Damn it. Can’t I even clear my throat?

F*ck, this pair of mother and daughter have fallen into the wolf’s den. Don’t blame Big Brother Duan for not helping. These two old men are too powerful, and I’m too weak alone.

Shi Fang stood with his head lowered, trying to hold back his laughter.

Duan Linbai’s current expression was truly both sullen and scared.

Song Fengwan knew that the matter was settled, so she could only return to the capital with Fu Chen. She even specially turned around to thank the two of them. “Uncle Yan, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my mother. Third Master, I’ll have to trouble you too.”

Duan Linbai was hopping mad when he saw the two old foxes nodding their heads and accepting her thanks, feeling at ease and justified.

Little sister, I’ve already told you that this certain someone isn’t a good person when he does certain things. Why didn’t you listen to me…
