CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 009 HIS PAST

When entering the Fu Mansion, Fu Weijin was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and reading a book. Ye Fan was the first to rush into the living room, throwing herself into her mother’s arms and acting spoiled: "Mommy, I’m back!"

As Su Wan stepped into the living room, Fu Weiheng followed right behind her through the door. Su Wan glanced at the chatting Fu Weijin and Ye Fan, then looked at Fu Weiheng behind her, only to realize that there was a slight resemblance between the two of them.

Fu Weijin was somewhat surprised to see the two enter one after the other, but then seemed to think of something and looked at Su Wan with a meaningful expression: "Came back together?"

Fu Weiheng didn’t respond and walked straight into the living room. Su Wan, looking guilty as if she were hiding something, blurted out instinctively: "No, no, we just ran into each other at the door."

After saying that, she momentarily forgot that Ye Fan had come back with them. The innocent child naturally spoke the truth: "I went with Uncle to pick up Teacher Su."

Su Wan: "..."

This is exactly the case of "there is no three hundred taels of silver here."

At this moment, Su Wan just wanted to find a hole to hide as deep as possible.

Clearly, there was nothing going on, but her attempt to cover it up really made it seem like something was happening. She lowered her head and glanced at Fu Weiheng in front of her.

The man remained silent, but the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, his gaze at her was filled with deeper meaning.

Fu Weijin turned to look at Fu Weiheng, and suddenly understood something. No wonder Neil volunteered to pick up Fanfan, it turned out the intention was not just to drink wine.

Fu Weijin smiled, took Ye Fan’s hand, and walked in front of Su Wan: "Fanfan, go to class with Teacher Su."

After Su Wan and Ye Fan went into the music room, Fu Weijin followed Fu Weiheng into the study with a cup of coffee.

The door to the study was ajar, and when Fu Weijin pushed it open, Fu Weiheng was flipping through business materials. She quietly closed the door, walked to the desk, and pushed the steaming cup of coffee in front of Fu Weiheng, then sat down at the desk. Fu Weiheng did not look up, naturally took the coffee and sipped it, frowning slightly in displeasure: "Too sweet."

"I only put in half a sugar," Fu Weijin said with a half-smile, "Isn’t your life too sweet recently?"

Fu Weiheng didn’t say a word.

Being well aware of her own younger brother’s temperament, Fu Weijin knew that there were many girls around him over the years, but he had always maintained a distant attitude towards them, never bothering with a girlfriend. In the first few months after he returned from the United States, he was always busy with work and was rarely seen around the old mansion. However, recently he not only came back often but also frequently left work early to take time off. Today he even volunteered to pick up Su Wan for the class. It was the first time she saw Neil so attentive to a girl, so she couldn’t help but be curious.

"Neil," Fu Weijin lowered her voice with a hint of laughter, "Do you like Wanwan?"

Fu Weiheng lazily lifted his eyelids, still silent.

"Are you pursuing her?" Fu Weijin leaned in closer.

"Not a bad taste, huh?"

"Neil..."

"Want me to help you out?"

"..."

Fu Weiheng remained indifferent to Fu Weijin’s continuous questioning. Fu Weijin felt a bit unwilling to give up, but she resignedly left the study, knowing that if Fu Weiheng didn’t want to speak, no matter how much she pressed him, he wouldn’t say a word.

As Su Wan was preparing to leave, it was already nearing dusk. Before leaving, she habitually greeted Fu Weijin, who was sitting in the hall, but Miss Fu seemed to have been waiting for quite some time, grabbed the car keys on the table, stood up, and said with a smile: "Come on, Wanwan, I’ll drive you back."

Su Wan was flattered and quickly declined: "Miss Fu, there’s no need to trouble you..."

"Mom, are you going out?" Ye Fan came out from the inner room, saw Fu Weijin with her bag and car keys, and asked, "Are you going to see Dad? Then what about Uncle? Is Uncle leaving too? Can Fanfan come along?"

Fu Weijin’s smile remained undiminished. She walked over and picked up Ye Fan, planting a big kiss on Ye Fan’s cheek: "Be good, Fanfan, Mom’s just sending Teacher Su back to school. Uncle is at home, and Mom will be back soon."

Ye Fan, always a sensible child who adored her uncle, heard that Fu Weiheng was home and willingly climbed down from Fu Weijin’s arms, obediently agreeing: "Okay, then Mom, come back early and be careful on the road. Bye, Teacher Su."

Su Wan: "..."

Later, when Fu Weiheng came down from the study, he saw Ye Fan playing with building blocks alone on the carpet in the living room, while the housekeeper Sister Lin was cleaning on the side. However, he didn’t see Fu Weijin, who should have been sitting on the sofa, nor did he see Su Wan, who should have finished her class. He checked his watch and called out: "Vincent."
