Fu Man'er smiled sweetly, "Master Chu's fainting happened at just the right time."

The Chu family has been the industry leader in the cloth business for quite some time, and many of their workshops are openly or secretly trying to get ahead.

Well, now the opportunity has arrived.

After the scandal involving the Chu family broke out, many garment workshops began to choose new fabric suppliers, since everyone was discerning and knew how to judge things.

In addition, his own family's collateral branches started causing trouble, which was simply icing on the cake for Fu Man'er, and she didn't have to put in much effort.

The next steps have been arranged; let's just wait and see the results.

Looking at the little girl's composed demeanor, Lu Sheng thought to himself, "Only the Xu family has always treated Fu Man'er like a child."

What kind of child could do such a thing, snatching the cloth from someone's warehouse with a combination of coaxing and deception?

"Lu Sheng, Man'er." The two were sitting and talking when someone called out to them from afar.

Fu Man'er even looked up and waved in response, "Brother Zixuan."

Lu Sheng remained motionless and showed no reaction whatsoever.

Seeing the figure with his back to him, Cao Zixuan quickened his pace. Just as he reached the pavilion, Lu Sheng drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"Man'er, I'm going home now. You should stay home and rest for the next few days. Don't go out. I'll come over to keep you company when I have time."

11 After saying that, Lu Sheng turned and left. When Cao Zixuan came over, he could only see Lu Sheng's departing back.

"Lu Sheng, where are you going?"

There was only silence in response. Cao Zixuan was about to chase after him when Fu Man'er quickly stopped him.

"Brother Zixuan, wait a minute."

Cao Zixuan's eyes were still following Lu Sheng, and he said absentmindedly, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Fu Man'er rested her chin on her hand and looked at him with sympathy. "Brother Zixuan, you should sit down. Even if you look at Sister Lu Sheng, she still won't pay attention to you."

"It's no use trying to catch up with him."

Lu Sheng's attitude was already very clear: she was avoiding Cao Zixuan.

She started avoiding Cao Zixuan after she found out he liked her.

Lu Sheng took long strides and quickly passed through the corridor, disappearing from sight.

Cao Zixuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze and sat down sullenly. "I didn't do anything wrong, why do you dislike me so much?"

That pitiful look on his face made him look exactly like a resentful little man.

Fu Man'er poured him a cup of tea, and Cao Zixuan drank it down in one gulp, just like he was drinking alcohol.

"Man'er, my parents asked me to bring you some gifts, which have already been delivered to your room." Cao Zixuan then remembered the important reason for his visit today.

"My aunt already gave me a gift yesterday, is she giving me another one today?"

Upon learning that Fu Man'er had been rescued, Yu Miaoyi rushed over immediately, bringing Fu Man'er a lot of things, including clothes and other necessities.

"My mother said this is a new thing sent from the Western Regions, different from the others."

Yu Miaoyi really likes Fu Man'er. At first, she had the idea of ​​making Fu Man'er her daughter-in-law, but this matter has not been fully discussed yet.

Cao Zixuan told Yu Miaoyi that there was only brotherly and sisterly affection between them. After confirming this several times, Yu Miaoyi finally gave up on the idea.

Since she couldn't be Yu Miaoyi's daughter-in-law, she would treat her like a daughter. Every few days, Fu Man'er would receive things from Yu Miaoyi, which filled her small storeroom to the brim.

After finishing their business, Cao Zixuan's mood dropped again. "Man'er, why do you think Lu Sheng is avoiding me? I just like her, it's not like I want to eat her."

Originally, Lu Sheng didn't go on many escort missions starting in the autumn, but after he expressed his feelings, he started taking the initiative to go on missions.

The key point is that he was the last to find out, and he rushed to Lu Sheng's house to look for him, only to find that he hadn't arrived.

He, the young master of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, was the last to know.

So after Lu Sheng returned this time, Cao Zixuan learned his lesson. He had already made arrangements with the escort agency in advance, so that if Lu Sheng were to go on another escort mission, he would have to give his consent.

That way, he would know immediately and then refuse Lu Sheng's offer to escort the goods without hesitation.

"That's why she avoids you, because you like her." Fu Man'er stared wide-eyed as she counted the sesame seeds on the sesame cake.

Cao Zixuan was even more frustrated. "In the whole Yun Town, which girl doesn't want my affection? But she treats me like a monster, avoiding me like the plague."

"I don't want it," Fu Man'er said weakly. As soon as she spoke, she forgot what she had been counting. Was it twenty-seven or twenty-eight?

It seems to be the 29th, yes, it's the 29th.

Hmm, which one was I counting on? The one on the left or the one on the right? Fu Man'er felt like her eyes were going blind, and she still couldn't find which sesame seed she was counting on.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"No wonder you two are sisters, neither of you likes me." Cao Zixuan slumped back in her chair, her eyes vacant.

"No, I still like you very much." She didn't have many friends, but she treated each one of them with sincerity.

Cao Zixuan seemed to find some comfort, "Man'er, I knew it, you are my good sister."

No wonder his mother always talked about wanting a daughter like Man'er. Look at how well-behaved she is now, who wouldn't want her?

Anyway, he treated Man'er like his own sister. Cao Zixuan couldn't help but affectionately reach out and rub Man'er's head. He actually wanted to pinch Man'er's chubby cheeks, but he didn't have the guts. He couldn't handle that madman Xu Yi.

"Cao Zixuan, if you don't take your hand off, I'll chop it off!"

Huh? Cao Zixuan paused, afraid that Xu Yi was hallucinating.

"Man'er, why do I hear your brother's voice?"

Fu Man'er blinked. "It's my brother who's back."

"You're back?" Cao Zixuan hesitated and looked back.

Oh no, it's Xu Yi walking this way with a dark face.

Cao Zixuan quickly took his hand down and saw that Fu Man'er's hair was a bit frizzy from his rubbing, so he hurriedly helped her straighten it.

Then he sat down as if nothing had happened, picked up his tea and began to sip it, pretending that nothing had occurred.

After doing all this, Cao Zixuan suddenly realized, what's going on? He, the young master of the Cao family, is afraid of Xu Yi?

The fighting spirit that had been hard-won was extinguished the moment Xu Yi's eyes swept over his hand.

Cao Zixuan even quietly pulled his hand back a little. There was no doubt that Xu Yi, that madman, was capable of anything.

"Brother," Fu Man'er called out sweetly to Xu Yi, tilting her head back.

"Hmm." Xu Yi raised his hand and gently stroked Fu Man'er's head a few times, as if to wipe away the scent that Cao Zixuan had left on it.

While touching him, he also warned Cao Zixuan with his eyes. Cao Zixuan rolled his eyes unceremoniously, thinking that Xu Yi's possessiveness was a bit too strong.

Those who knew him thought he was Man'er's brother, while those who didn't thought he was... etc. A sudden idea flashed into Cao Zixuan's mind.

He seems to have discovered something extraordinary.

"Xu Yi, you?" Cao Zixuan pointed at Xu Yi in surprise, then at Fu Man'er.

"You won't, you won't~"

"Don't know what?" Fu Man'er looked at Cao Zixuan with a puzzled expression.

Xu Yi's eyes narrowed. "You'd better watch your mouth."

These words solidified Cao Zixuan's resolve. "Haha, Xu Yi, you little rascal, I knew it! I knew you had feelings for Man'er!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yi grabbed his neck and dragged him outside.

"Ah, um." Cao Zixuan, whose neck was being strangled, instantly lost the ability to speak, but his face was full of excitement. The oblivious Fu Man'er stared blankly at the two of them, "Brother, where are you taking Brother Zixuan?"

These two don't get along, but they haven't exchanged many words today. Could it be that my brother has gotten addicted to beating up Zixuan?

Xu Yi turned around and smiled at Fu Man'er, "I have a few words to say to him. It's chilly outside, you should go back inside."

"Oh." Fu Man'er puffed out her cheeks. Was she trying to talk? It looked more like she was about to fight.

Fu Man'er silently prayed that Zixuan would be beaten less this time before getting up and leaving.

She was going back to wash her hair, and those two men kept touching her head, making it all oily. It was so inappropriate.
