Chapter 751 Let Me Sample It First

While Lu Li took in the shock, the man had stuffed the cotton candy in her hand with a poker face. He then turned to walk away.

Keeping tabs on them, Shen Xi sighed to herself and stared deeply at Fu Qingli. Li Yuan was right. Dad or Qingye should impart the know-how to Fu Qingli on the way to a woman’s heart.

Li Yuan glanced at his fair lady and tipped her the wink. He was under the impression that it came with the territory that men would try anything to please the ladies in the courting stage.

Men could always learn even if they were venturing into uncharted territory so long as they had the heart to. However, Fu Qingli’s behavior left them speechless.

While Lu Li was not looking, Shen Xi shrugged at Li Yuan. She got the feeling that Fu Qingli did not reject or hate Lu Li’s presence. Otherwise, judging by that ruthless nature of his, he would keep it strictly business even if she was the mother of his children.

Fu Qingli’s attitude toward Shen Xi back then was the best example.

Sitting on Li Yuan’s shoulders, Lu Zhen caught a glimpse of the look on Shen Xi’s face. He looked at her strangely with confusion in his eyes.

Shen Xi gestured to keep it between them while handing him a box of skittles. She asked, “Lil’ Zhen, do you have a sweet tooth?”

Shaking his head, Lu Zhen quietly gave the skittles to Lu Guoguo instead.

Lu Guoguo always had a craving for something sweet, but Mom never allowed her to have too much. Since she could never have enough, she happily took over the candy and looked at Shen Xi. “Thank you, Aunty.”

The girl was smart and adorable, always saying the right things at the right time.

Shen Xi smiled at the little girl. “There’s a stall selling chewy candy ahead. I’ll get some for you. There’s also a hard candy store over there. Let’s get that later too.”

Lu Li wanted to say something but held her tongue at the cozy scene. Never mind. It was just this one time. She could allow the little girl to eat to her heart’s content for once.

“Xixi.”

Song Wenye’s voice was heard from behind. She drew close and was stunned by the group. Nevertheless, she pulled herself together and earnestly said hello. “Hi, Big Brother, Sister-in-law.”

For some reason, the word “Sister-in-law” brought Fu Qingli glee.

Stiffening her facial muscles, Lu Li made it clear with a chilling voice. “I’m not the sister-in-law.”

Fu Qingli’s handsome face fell as he coldly blurted, “She’s not.”

He then turned on his heel and took off.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” Song Wenye gave Lu Li an embarrassed look and pulled Shen Xi to one side to ask in secret, “How should I address her?”

Shen Xi quickly got to the introductions. “Lil’ Ye, this is Ms. Lu. Ms. Lu, this is Song Wenye. This is my brother, Yu Yuanxi.”

Yu Yuanxi smiled tenderly and uttered politely, “Hello, Ms. Lu.”

Lu Li courteously exchanged greetings. With Fu Qingli taking Lu Guoguo far with an emotionless figure and a heavy cloud over his head, Lu Li frowned in puzzlement and chased after them.

Now that the person in question was gone, Song Wenye pulled Shen Xi aside to stop her from advancing forth. Song Wenye whispered a question, “What’s going on with Big brother and Sister-in-law? Is he angry?”

Shen Xi pinched her. “Everything is still up in the air. What sister-in-law? What if you scare Ms. Lu away?”

Finding it odd, Song Wenye mumbled, “I see the way Big Brother was looking at Sister-in-law. It’s clear he has feelings for her. He stormed away when Sister-in-law was trying to explain to me.”

Shen Xi coughed. “You should call her that when he has gotten his lady.” Pursing her lips, Song Wenye smiled dubiously for some hot gossip. “It’s bound to happen, but Big Brother has a bit of an attitude problem. You should teach him the way to a lady’s heart. At this rate, he would soon get a sense of jumping through hoops to get his woman after acting callous for even a second.”

Shen Xi nudged Song Wenye. “You teach him. I’m not going.”

Song Wenye retorted, “That’s your brother. You should talk to him for the sake of his lifelong happiness.”

Shen Xi answered, “He needs to do this on his

own.”

Song Wenye uttered, “He needs to get it. Look at him. It’s clear he hasn’t. Someone has to set a fire under his *ss. I would teach him if I were his birth sister. To tell you the truth, I’m a little scared of him.”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes. “Me too.” Song Wenye was worried about Fu Qingli’s road to wooing his wife. “What should we do now?”

“Let nature take its course.” Shen Xi added. “I’ll let my dad and Qingye know once I’m home. They can share their experience with him.”

“Your dad’s fine, but are you sure Qingye has any experience to impart?” Song Wenye let out a sigh while tapping on Shen Xi’s head. “Don’t you know that my dear Qingye has never been in a relationship?”

Where would the experience come from when Qingye had never dated anyone? Besides, Big Brother seemed to have gotten himself in quite the situation. He had children, two of them! “What do you mean he hasn’t been in a relationship? His experience on screen is plenty enough.” Shen Xi grinned. “Doesn’t he have dating scandals with all the actresses he worked with?”

Song Wenye pouted sulkily. “It’s all a lie. Those women threw themselves at Qingye. My dear Qingye never admitted to any one of them.”

All the actresses Qingye and those who ran lines with him had a thing for Qingye. However, Qingye always kept things professional and never went out of bounds with any actress.

“Look at you all hot and bothered. Aren’t you afraid my brother will be jealous?” Shen Xi burst out laughing while casting a glance at Yu Yuanxi.

Song Wenye solemnly and proudly smacked her chest. “Your brother isn’t that petty. I have the freedom to admire any celebrity. I’m Qingye’s biggest fan and I’ll follow him to the end.”

Yu Yuanxi approached them, not having the slightest clue of what they were muttering about. Still, he urged them forward as the girls were left far behind by the group. “You better pick up the pace.”

Song Wenye dragged Shen Xi along to run. Once they caught up with the group, she inquired Yu Yuanxi, “As a man, do you think there’s a chance for something to happen between Big Brother and Sister-in-law?”

Yu Yuanxi fell into contemplation for a while before speaking his mind. “I don’t know.”

It all boiled down to the stance of both parties. Fu Qingli was not very smart in the way he handled relationships.

Leading the group, Lu Guoguo fancied latiao that was made to order. The stall owner gave Fu Qingli a piece to test. Fu Qingli’s hands were tied since he was holding Lu Guoguo. He turned to Lu Li. “Take it for me.”

Lu Li went over and put on disposable gloves to hold the latiao. She was about to feed it to Lu Guoguo when the man’s husky voice rang in her ear. “Let me sample it first. She can’t have it if it’s too spicy.”
