CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 249

"Brother Han, we were just talking about why you haven’t come out yet."

Fu Wangning saw Fu Youhan and was the first to get up to help him push his wheelchair, without any airs of a conceited heiress.

She pushed Fu Youhan to the dining table, then half-squatted to look up at the man’s chiseled and handsome profile.

"Are you hungry? I see Brother Chen has some nice Wellington beef steak here, shall I get some for you?"

She was like a dutiful wife, bustling about her husband, Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan did not enjoy Fu Wangning’s care with an easy conscience, only issuing a cold command.

"Let the butler do that."

"It’s okay, I have nothing better to do."

Fu Wangning said, and picked out some Wellington steak to Fu Youhan’s taste, as well as served him some warm corn chowder.

As Fu Wangning did all this, Ye Chen lifted an eyebrow and asked Fu Youhan, "Did you do well in stock trading in your room? Hope it didn’t get in the way of your soaking."

The two had known each other for many years, and with just a look, Ye Chen let Fu Youhan know that his "stock trading" was no ordinary affair!

Fu Youhan leaned on the wheelchair backrest, revealing a lazy smile of satisfaction, "Soaking and trading stocks don’t interfere with each other; they can be done simultaneously."

Immediately, Ye Chen understood what Fu Youhan meant, and the two shared a meaningful smile.

Fu Yiming had been watching their interaction the whole time, feeling like Fu Youhan and Ye Chen were speaking in some kind of code.

And the way Uncle Fu Youhan looked, it seemed exactly like the contentment of a man after a tryst.

So that pair of beautiful legs...

Very likely belonged to Jiang Moxi, who was still absent.

Just the thought of Jiang Moxi being bullied by Fu Youhan created a surge of jealousy in Fu Yiming.

Because those were originally his, Fu Yiming’s.

Perhaps his hostile glare was too conspicuous, as Fu Youhan, leisurely tasting the food Fu Wangning handed him, suddenly shot a chilling gaze toward him.

Fu Yiming felt an overwhelming pressure without a word being said, forcing him to look away.

At this moment, Fu Yiming heard Ling Hua cheerfully calling out, "Sister Moxi, where did you go? I couldn’t find you anywhere just now."

Fu Yiming quickly followed Ling Hua’s gaze and saw Jiang Moxi dressed in pencil pants and a languid knit sweater, accompanied by Kou Fei.

Perhaps it was due to suspicion, but Fu Yiming couldn’t help but feel Jiang Moxi was fully clothed all of a sudden, covering her beautiful legs as if she were hiding something deliberately.

Moreover, he felt Jiang Moxi’s complexion was rosier than before, radiating a vitality that beautified her as if she was naturally filtered.

Fu Yiming stared intensely at Jiang Moxi, trying to discern the truth from her unpainted face when he heard Kou Fei say, "She was just chatting with me behind the rockery."

Fu Yiming paused.

Behind the rockery?

That’s where Jiang Moxi had disappeared earlier!

So Jiang Moxi wasn’t messing around with Uncle but had gone to chat with Kou Fei?

So the woman who was intimately close with Uncle, was it An Yang?

Ye Chen and Uncle are so close they could walk in each other’s shoes?

But these things are not uncommon in wealthy families.

So after Fu Yiming collected his thoughts, he even felt his previous association of Jiang Moxi with Uncle was far-fetched and absurd.

After all, Jiang Moxi was a woman who had been engaged to him, Fu Yiming; Uncle couldn’t possibly have anything to do with her.

Thinking of this, Fu Yiming felt slightly relieved and slurped a few more oysters.

Jiang Moxi was unaware of Kou Fei’s earlier words, inadvertently clearing her of any suspicions Yiming had harbored.

Jiang Moxi had just left Fu Youhan’s room and ran into Kou Fei.

Kou Fei’s room happened to be next door to theirs.

Perhaps hearing some noise, Kou Fei guessed the relationship between her and Fu Youhan and also seemed to realize that they hadn’t made their relationship public, which is why she stepped in to help Moxi out.

"Sister Moxi, do you know this beauty?" Ling Hua asked.

"Yes, this is Kou Fei. We’re both taking classes at the Information Security Department recently," Jiang Moxi introduced.

Hearing about the Information Security Department, Ling Hua exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, so you guys are both high-IQ beauties. Can you two smart and fit beauties teach me what foods to eat to be as intelligent and in good shape as you?"

The women’s conversation opened up from there, with An Yang and Qiu Yue also joining in the chat.

After all, maintaining a good figure is a lifetime career for women.

Fu Wangning didn’t deign to join in the chat with those women because, aside from Ling Hua, it was either women clinging to men like dodder flowers or pretty but incompetent female teachers like Jiang Moxi.

But suddenly these women had hit it off, which made her stand out like she was being deliberately excluded.

So Fu Wangning put on a friendly smile and called out to the group.

"Come on over and have some food. Brother Chen has prepared a lot of delicious food. It tastes really good."

But some were still chatting and others politely declined.

Wangning disliked this atmosphere, feeling as if she couldn’t blend in.

Of course, Wangning didn’t really want to fit in either.

She just didn’t want to appear out of place in front of Youhan, so she affectionately approached and took the hands of both Ling Hua and Jiang Moxi.

"Huahua, you’re in the stage of growing right now, so forget about your figure for the moment; quality protein is what’s important. King crab and beef are good options."

"Moxi, I noticed before that you seemed to really like tuna. Today’s tuna must have been air-flown in fresh this morning; it’s delicious."

Jiang Moxi didn’t feel close enough to Wangning to hold hands, and she also disliked touching from strangers.

But Wangning appeared determined not to leave her and Ling Hua alone until leading them to the dining table, where Moxi then subtly withdrew her hand without making it obvious.

Now that the central figures of the conversation were led away, the other women also followed to the dining table.

The dinner formally began.

The table was a long one, suitable for twelve people. Wangning naturally took her place next to Youhan.

As a result, Jiang Moxi ended up sitting across from Youhan, with Ling Hua and Fu Yiming beside her.

Youhan glanced at Moxi’s place setting and only saw chopsticks and a cup, so he instructed, "Bring some forks over."

Soon, the butler brought the forks. He was about to hand them to Youhan when Ling Hua spoke up.

"Put them on Sister Moxi’s side; she’s not very good with chopsticks."

Having dined at the Ling Family’s house a few times, Ling Hua naturally noticed this detail.

Yet, this casually revealed fact changed the look in Wangning’s eyes slightly.

She remembered that the last time at the Ling’s house, it was Youhan who suddenly asked for forks to be brought and then passed one first to Moxi.

So, Youhan knew Moxi wasn’t good with chopsticks as well?

How familiar were they...?
