Xu Family Flower Hall

Everyone gradually sat down at the table, and Old Man Xu glanced at the empty seat next to Fu Man'er.

"Is Yi'er not coming home for dinner again today?"

Fu Man'er replied, "Brother said he made an appointment to have dinner with someone and will be back later tonight."

Old Xu nodded to indicate that he understood, while Xu Wen muttered something to himself.

"Big brother is indeed the eldest brother, so clever. To avoid meeting women, he stays busy with the guard during the day and doesn't go home at night. He's managed to avoid it all."

Why didn't he think of this good idea? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be taken by his mother to meet various girls every few days.

Ma Hong patted the back of his hand, "I'm not asking you to go through fire and water, what's there to hide from?"

Xu Wen dared not speak; he would rather go through fire and water than face any danger.

Back in her room, Fu Man'er would routinely hug her little money box and start counting her money. After counting, she would neatly arrange the silver ingots one by one.

These silver ingots are like chubby, white babies with plump bellies, so adorable.

"Shuangxi, quickly help me put these away." These are all from her private stash.

The Xu family all knew that Fu Man'er's shop could make a little money, but they didn't know that this little money was actually quite a lot.

With the addition of the cloth shop business, Fu Man'er alone can now be considered a small wealthy merchant in Yun Town.

The little girl lay contentedly on the bed, planning to give each of them a large box of silver ingots on their birthdays.

Alternatively, you could use gold, but then the box wouldn't be as big.

Oh dear, let's give her silver ingots instead. She's working hard to earn money so she can give everyone gold bars next year.

Thinking this, the little girl covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

"Man'er?" A knock came from outside the door.

"Hmm?" Fu Man'er recognized Xu Yi's voice and was about to go open the door when she remembered Shuangxi's usual nagging.

She had to put on her outer garment, so she sat down and opened the door while putting on her clothes.

When the door opened, I was already dressed.

"Brother?" Fu Man'er smelled the alcohol as soon as she opened the door. "You've been drinking again."

"No," Xu Yi quickly explained, "it was spilled on me."

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to change my clothes." After saying that, Xu Yi slipped back into his room.

When Fu Man'er entered the room, she did not close the door completely, but left it ajar.

When Xu Yi came in, Fu Man'er was leaning against the low table on the soft couch, looking at the account book.

"Keep the candle away from you, or you'll burn your hair," Xu Yi said, pulling the candle further away and using a stick to lift the wick so he could read more easily.

"Okay." Fu Man'er responded softly, reaching out to tuck the hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear.

The little girl had finished washing up; all her hair ornaments were gone, leaving only her long, black hair hanging down like a waterfall.

Some of her hair was unruly; when she lowered her head, it would fall onto her cheeks, blocking her view.

Just as Fu Man'er was about to make a second attempt, Xu Yi took a silk ribbon from her dressing table and brought it over.

"Why are you still so lazy?" Xu Yi said as he reached out to brush Fu Man'er's hair back.

Sometimes when this girl gets into something, she doesn't want to move anymore. Like now, she can keep tying her hair up, but she's too lazy to get up and tie it up.

“Isn’t my brother here?” Fu Man’er raised her face and smiled at Xu Yi. “With my brother here, he will help me with it.”

Xu Yi gently tied her hair back, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "What if your brother isn't here?"

“How could this be? How could my brother not be here?” Fu Man’er turned another page.

Xu Yi looked down at the little figure beside him, remaining silent for a long time.

It was only when Fu Man'er sensed something was wrong that she looked up, and her gaze met Xu Yi's deep eyes.

"Brother." For some reason, the accounts that Fu Man'er had just memorized suddenly vanished.

Xu Yi reached out and grasped Fu Man'er's shoulder, turning her to face him directly.

"Man'er, your brother has something to tell you."

"Um?"

"Man'er, I... I like you." The moment the words left his mouth, Xu Yi felt that it wasn't so difficult after all, but at the same time, his heart was in his throat.

He dared not guess what Fu Man'er would say.

"Oh." Fu Man'er blinked.

Xu Yi was stunned. Was this the kind of reaction he was expecting?

Considering that Fu Man'er was rather naive, Xu Yi explained again, "Man'er, the kind of 'liking' I'm talking about isn't the kind between a brother and sister, not the kind of 'liking' between you and your second brother, Lu Sheng, and the others."

"It's the kind of affection a man has for a woman, the kind of affection that exists between grandparents, parents, uncles, and aunts."

Xu Yi tried his best to explain clearly and directly, so that Man'er should understand.

Fu Man'er blinked again. Did she look stupid, having to explain so much?

"I know."

This answer~

Xu Yi felt his heart couldn't take it anymore. "What do you know?"

"I know that." Fu Man'er tilted her head slightly. Her brother was taller than her even when he was sitting, and it was sore for her to look up.

"You know I like you?" Xu Yi lowered his head slightly, wondering when Man'er found out. Was his affection obvious?

Fu Man'er looked at Xu Yi as if he were a fool, "Didn't you just say that?"

Yes, that's what he just said. For some reason, Xu Yi was slightly disappointed when he heard that answer.

"And you said that yesterday too."

Yesterday? Xu Yi suddenly realized, "Did I really say that yesterday?"

He looked at Fu Man'er nervously; Fu Man'er's reaction today had made him doubt himself.

"Yes." Fu Man'er nodded, wondering if her brother had really been drunk last night.

It turned out he really had said it. Xu Yi's happiness was only fleeting. Thinking of Fu Man'er's reaction, the smile on his lips turned bitter.

"What about Man'er? Does she like me?" Anyway, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed.

Now that you've expressed your feelings, let's ask clearly.

Even if Man'er says she doesn't like him, he's not afraid. There's still time, even until the very end.

Xu Yi dared not think about what happened next.

“Me?” Fu Man’er pointed to herself and said under Xu Yi’s gaze, “I like my brother too.”

Xu Yi's previously bitter heart felt as if it had suddenly been filled with honey. "Really?"

Fu Man'er, who was being questioned, wrinkled her little nose. "Of course it's true!"

Xu Yi was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands, and finally pulled Fu Man'er into his arms.

"Man'er, do you really like it? Is it the kind of liking I'm talking about?"

Xu Yi was still a little uneasy when he asked the last question, afraid that the "like" Fu Man'er mentioned was not the same as the one he was talking about.

Fu Man'er hugged Xu Yi back, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled, "Yes."

Why does she feel like her smart brother has turned into a stupid brother today?

Xu Yi was simply unable to describe the excitement and joy in his heart. He had been anxious and worried all day.

So it turns out, so it turns out, his Man'er, just like him, also liked each other.

So last night~

Xu Yi suddenly thought of something and quietly stepped away from Fu Man'er.

"Since you like me too, why don't you bring up what happened last night?"

Xu Yi couldn't understand this at all. If that's the case, they should be on the same page.

He won't have to endure that torment today.

"What did you say?" Fu Man'er looked at him, puzzled.

This article is first published on the TaDu Novel App.

"You're saying you like me too."

"But last night you only said you liked me, you didn't ask me if I liked you or not?" Fu Man'er looked at Xu Yi in astonishment.

Xu Yi was speechless.
