Chapter 395 - 408: Mr. Fu, what are you.......
"Why don’t you just call her Sister Manman? It’s not like it’ll cost you anything."Yan Xiao swallowed the meat in his mouth before speaking slowly, "Calling her sister isn’t a problem, but she has to promise not to call me a puppy anymore."
Han Xi looked at Li Manman and used his eyes to urge her to agree quickly.
"Alright, alright, I won’t call you that. Now let’s hear you call me sister."
"Sister Manman, are you always taking advantage of others just because you have thick skin?"
"You brat, your mouth is toxic enough to not recognize family. Dare to talk nonsense again?"
Yan Xiao shrugged indifferently and continued to cut his steak.
The manager, who had been eating quietly beside them, struggled to hold back his laughter, nearly causing internal injury. The two of them were evenly matched.
After eating, Han Xi and Li Manman left first.
After returning home, Han Xi was still worried and called Chu Ci.
Chu Ci had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when she heard the phone ringing on the bedside table. She walked over, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer key.
"What’s up, Xiao Xi?"
Chu Ci sat on the bed, using a towel to dry her dripping hair.
"I just wanted to ask how you’re doing, worried that you’re still upset."
"They aren’t my family or friends, why would I be bothered and angry with them? Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Han Xi curled up on the sofa, casually grabbed a pillow and hugged it: "Did Fu Bin explain it to you? Manman just called and scolded him, but Fu Bin said it was a misunderstanding."
"It’s not important anymore. I just want to focus on having the baby."
Chu Ci touched her belly, a slight curve on her lips: "By the way, Xiao Xi, I’m going to Paris for Fashion Week tomorrow. Do you and Manman want to come along? Just treat it as a trip."
"Hmm... alright."
With Chu Ci pregnant, Han Xi really wasn’t at ease letting her go so far alone. Having him and Manman there would provide support.
After hanging up, Chu Ci called Li Manman to discuss the plan to fly to Paris the next day.
After she put down the phone, Chu Ci went to the living room, planning to make some juice, but seeing the table full of fruit, she couldn’t help but think of Fu Bin.
The paper filled with pen-written notes clearly stated she should eat more fruits to supplement Vitamin C, which is good for both adults and the child.
"Miss Chu, I’m going to the supermarket to buy tonight’s ingredients. Do you need anything? I can get it for you."
Aunt Li walked out of the kitchen, asking with a smile.
"I don’t need anything."
"Alright, then I’ll be off."
Chu Ci nodded, poured herself a glass of plain water, and headed to the living room.
Aunt Li changed her shoes at the entrance, just opened the door, and saw Fu Bin still sitting at the doorstep: "Mr. Fu, you are...?"
Upon hearing the voice, Fu Bin got up from the ground, feeling numb from sitting too long.
He propped himself against the door and tried to walk inside, but Aunt Li hesitated, blocking the entrance: "Mr. Fu, you can’t go in, don’t make it difficult for me..."
Before Aunt Li could finish speaking, Fu Bin rushed in, causing Chu Ci to place down her water cup. Her slightly made-up face remained calm as a placid lake without any ripples.
"Aunt Li, go buy the groceries."
"Eh, then... I’ll be off."
After the villa door closed, Fu Bin strode to the living room and sat beside Chu Ci: "I never said those things."
