"So beautiful, it’s only natural to be proud."
Su Qingnuan smiled and walked to the sofa opposite, sitting down.
Her gaze swept across the table, not seeing any tea, she couldn’t help but frown: "What’s going on? We have guests at home, why isn’t there any tea served?"
"No need, sister-in-law!" Qin Man said with a smile: "I don’t like tea, Yixing has already sent someone to get juice for me."
"I see..." Su Qingnuan nodded knowingly, smiling lightly: "Alright then, you two sit for a while, I’ll go check in the kitchen."
"Big sister-in-law, there’s a maid in the kitchen, no need for you to join the hustle, why not stay and chat with Man’er." Fu Yixing stopped Su Qingnuan with a sarcastic tone, his gaze quite challenging.
"Yes, big sister-in-law!" Qin Man reached out and held onto Su Qingnuan’s arm, "I heard from Yixing that you’re about the same age as me. I was worried about not knowing anyone here and feeling shy, but now with you here, I feel more at ease."
"Is that so..." Su Qingnuan shot a stiff glance at the person beside her, smiling lightly: "Actually, I think it’s better not to..."
"Man’er." Fu Yixing suddenly spoke up, interrupting Su Qingnuan, "Stay here with big sister-in-law for a bit, I’m going upstairs to handle some documents."
Watching Fu Yixing run upstairs, Su Qingnuan suddenly felt a bit regretful. Why did she come in? Wouldn’t it have been better to stay outside a while longer?
Thinking of this, Su Qingnuan felt both angry and helpless but didn’t know what to say.
"Sister-in-law, sit down!"
There was still the clingy young woman beside her, so even if Su Qingnuan wanted to leave, she couldn’t.
Without Fu Yixing around, Su Qingnuan managed to deal with Qin Man with difficulty.
Qin Man had a lively personality, always managing to come up with some strange questions to ask Su Qingnuan, mostly about the Fu family.
Regarding the Fu family, Su Qingnuan knew very little, barely managing to answer a few sentences before being out of answers.
After half an hour, hearing movement at the main door, Su Qingnuan excitedly stood up.
A Qi was pushing Fu Yihan into the room, looking up to meet Su Qingnuan’s pleading gaze.
"Yihan!" Su Qingnuan excitedly walked to the door, "You’re back!"
Fu Yihan slightly raised an eyebrow, his gaze passing through Su Qingnuan and landing on the person following her.
Su Qingnuan quickly pulled Qin Man over, gritting her teeth as she introduced: "This is Qin Man, the second young master’s girlfriend."
"Qin Man?" Fu Yihan looked at her with a half-smile, asking, "Is your grandfather Qin Shuwen?"
"Yes!" Qin Man squinted her eyes with a smile, "Does Mr. Fu know my grandfather too?"
"I’ve met him, but I’m not familiar."
Fu Yihan pushed himself in the wheelchair into the room. Seeing this, Su Qingnuan hurriedly went over and held the handle.
He glanced back at her, and Fu Yihan withdrew his hand.
"Where’s Fu Yixing?" Fu Yihan asked.
Su Qingnuan glanced upstairs, lowering her voice, "He said he has to deal with some documents, he’s upstairs."
"Handle documents?" Fu Yihan sneered, looking at A Qi, "Go, call him down."
A Qi sprinted upstairs, while Su Qingnuan pushed Fu Yihan to sit by the sofa.
After a while, someone else came in.
The thumping sound of a cane echoed through the roof.
"Now, this is good, I can relax," the old man said as he walked, his gaze pausing when it fell upon Qin Man, who was sitting on the sofa.
Su Qingnuan stood up, smiling: "This is the second young master’s girlfriend, Qin Man."
"Qin Man?" The old man had the exact same expression as Fu Yihan, a mix of surprise and a hint of a smile.
"Yes." Qin Man stood up, stretching out her hand, her tone a bit nervous, "Hello, Grandpa, my name is Qin Man."
"Ah, hello." The old man extended his hand for a light handshake with Qin Man, his gaze wandering, "Where’s the second young master? Why isn’t he here?"
"The second young master is upstairs, A Qi went to call him." Su Qingnuan promptly explained.
"I see..." The old man glanced at Qin Man, then looked upstairs, smiling as he sat down, "Then we’ll wait together."
As soon as he spoke, footsteps were heard from the stairs.
Everyone turned to look.
Fu Yixing sprinted down, beaming.
"Grandpa, you’ve finally returned."
The old man nodded, looking at him with a mix of amusement and seriousness: "Yes, we’re back. Do you have something to tell us?"
Fu Yixing pointed at Qin Man, smiling proudly: "This is Qin Man, my girlfriend. We plan to get married."
"Married?" The old man frowned, speaking sternly: "How long have you known each other and now you’re planning to get married?"
"Half a month?" The old man frowned, disapprovingly looking at them, "I don’t oppose you getting married, but Grandpa suggests you extend the duration of your relationship, get to know each other well..."
"Grandpa!" Fu Yixing interrupted the old man, frowning, "Grandpa, don’t you want us to be happy?"
"It’s not about not wanting you to be happy, Grandpa just wants you to be happy, that’s why I’m advising you not to be impulsive, you still can..."
"What about Big Brother?" Fu Yixing pointed at Fu Yihan, who was nearby, speaking sarcastically: "Before Big Brother and Sister-in-law got married, they hadn’t even met, let alone developed feelings."
The old man’s brows furrowed tightly, helplessly saying: "Your big brother’s situation is different; how can you compare yourself to him?"
"There’s no difference." Fu Yixing wrapped his arm around Qin Man’s shoulder, smiling: "Anyway, Man’er and I have already decided to get married, hoping Grandpa can bless us rather than criticize us."
With that, Fu Yixing cupped Qin Man’s cheeks and gave her a kiss.
Qin Man snapped out of it, her cheeks turning red as she shyly lowered her head.
"Yes, Grandpa! You have to bless us!" Qin Man echoed.
Seeing all this, Su Qingnuan couldn’t help but look at Qin Man with a sympathetic gaze.
The old man silently watched the two, who clung to each other as if, as Fu Yixing said, they truly had touched each other’s hearts.
"Let’s do this," the old man stood up, speaking in a deep voice: "You want to get married, that’s fine, but before that, both sides’ parents need to meet, and also..."
The old man listed a series of things that needed to be prepared before the marriage, seemingly trying to make things a bit difficult for the pair.
However, Fu Yixing nodded without hesitation: "Alright!"
As a new member about to join the Fu family, Qin Man stayed for dinner at home, then Fu Yixing sent her out.
After they left, the old man called Fu Yixing, then sat upright, quietly waiting for Fu Yixing’s return.
After half an hour, Fu Yixing came back.
Seeing the old man sitting on the sofa, along with Fu Yihan and Su Qingnuan not far away, the smile at the corner of Fu Yixing’s mouth disappeared.
"Looks like I’m being judged?"
