Chapter 2018 Stay One More Day

He Yiming nodded and looked at Fu Zichen deeply.

Fu Zichen met He Yiming's gaze frankly with a faint smile on his face, looking very annoying.

As He Yiming walked forward, Mu Xin glared at Fu Zichen fiercely as a warning.

Fu Zichen smiled at her, as if to say that he had already seen clearly everything she and He Yiming performed.

Mu Xin took a deep breath and walked into the vineyard with He Yiming.

As a result, Fu Zichen also followed them into the vineyard.

Mu Xin turned around and glanced at him, "Why are you following me?"

Fu Zichen smiled and said, "I'm going my own way, so how can I be following you?"

"You didn't follow me, why did you come back?"

Fu Zichen smiled and said, "I gave you some clothes to sit on while you were picking. If you forgot to take them, I'll come get them."

Mu Xin stared at him for two seconds. Fu Zichen said this as if he was deliberately creating an ambiguous feeling between the two of them, causing He Yiming to misunderstand them.

Why didn't I realize he was so childish before?

Instead, He Yiming smiled and shook Mu Xin's hand, "It's okay, I won't worry about it."

Mu Xin looked at the two people's hands holding together and felt something strange.

After hesitating for two seconds, she pulled her hand out and then put her arm around He Yiming's arm.

Mu Xin brought He Yiming to her uncle, wanting to say hello to her uncle, and then leave the manor with He Yiming.

My uncle was working at the time. When he saw them, he stopped what he was doing and looked at them with a smile: "Xiao He is here."

He Yiming politely called him uncle.

Shi Guangyuan nodded, then said to Fu Zichen, "Zichen, come here, I want to tell you about this garden."

Fu Zichen came to his uncle, and his uncle told him about the wine-making plan for next year, obviously treating him as one of his own.

The closeness or distance between them can be immediately seen through the uncle's different tones and attitudes towards He Yiming and Fu Zichen.

This is not the first time my uncle has met He Yiming.

When she first married He Yiming, her uncle went abroad to have dinner with them.

He Yiming warmly entertained his uncle, but his uncle didn't seem to appreciate it. He privately told Mu Xin that she should be more careful with people and not be too open with them, no matter how good they looked.

Mu Xin assured her uncle, saying that after experiencing Fu Zichen, she would no longer trust anyone easily.

My uncle hesitated for a moment: "Including He Yiming?"

She smiled and nodded: "Including He Yiming."

Only then did my uncle feel relieved.

Mu Xin was also puzzled. Why was her uncle so optimistic about Fu Zichen, while He Yiming clearly had not done anything out of line, but her uncle seemed to have no good impression of He Yiming.

However, she and He Yiming were only nominally married, and their marriage only lasted two years. There was no need for her uncle to accept He Yiming as a family member.

Now that Mu Xin saw that her uncle was unwilling to chat with Yiming for too long, she did not force him. After politely greeting him, she told her uncle that she was going back to Haicheng and would not have dinner.

As soon as Mu Xin said this, her uncle's face instantly became gloomy.

He sighed and looked at the mountains in the distance: "When you were a kid, you came to your uncle's house to play. Every time you were about to leave, you cried and made a fuss, saying you didn't want to go back. Now you've grown up, and your uncle is old, and everyone dislikes you. Even Chen Yuan said he might leave the day after tomorrow. Okay, you all go. I'm used to being alone anyway..."

Mu Xin stroked her forehead and sighed.

If her uncle was just greeting her normally, she would have easily refused, but she was afraid that her uncle would say such sad words to her.

In fact, if it weren't for Fu Zichen, she would certainly be willing to stay with her uncle for two more days.

But Fu Zichen was there too, so she had no interest in staying there anymore.

Besides, my uncle doesn’t like He Yiming either.

"Uncle, you know I don't think that way..."

"Then stay one more day. Xiao He has come all the way here, it's not easy for him. It would be unreasonable if I don't invite him to have a meal."

Mu Xin wanted to insist, but He Yiming patted her shoulder and said, "Since my uncle has said so, let's stay one more day."

Mu Xin sighed and said, "Okay, since you don't mind being embarrassed and want to get together, what else can I object to?"

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow. I'll take Yiming back to the villa to rest first."

My uncle glanced at the champagne in He Yiming's hand, smiled and nodded.

So the two of them said goodbye to their uncle and walked out of the vineyard.

After they walked away, Uncle Shi waved to Fu Zichen and asked him to come closer to talk.

Fu Zichen came to his uncle.

Uncle Shi asked, "How did the wine end up in that boy's hands?"

"I gave it to Mu Xin."

"Hiss! I think you're usually quite smart, why are you so confused now? That's for you and Mu Xin to drink."

Fu Zichen pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, it's just a bottle of wine, it doesn't matter."

Uncle Shi shook his head helplessly. After a moment's silence, he said, "I think they're just putting on an act. I'll help you find out tonight. If they're really putting on an act for outsiders, then you should take the initiative."

"I've been quite proactive, but Mu Xin doesn't seem willing to accept me..."

Even though Fu Zichen said some words to provoke He Yiming, it seemed to only cause Mu Xin more annoyance.

He has truly become a clown now. No matter how affectionate or scoundrel he is, he cannot redeem a heart that has been broken by him.

He was no longer sure if he could win back Mu Xin's heart.

Especially after picking grapes together just now, he felt that Mu Xin seemed to dislike him to the extreme.

Maybe some people and some feelings, if you really miss them, you can never get them back.

Uncle Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you say that it was just a misunderstanding between you two? I understand Mu Xin's temper. She just can't get over this. Once she gets over it, she'll naturally accept you. Don't worry."

Fu Zichen nodded and looked at the two figures that were gradually walking away.

He was originally very sure that He Yiming and Mu Xin's marriage was a formality, but after seeing He Yiming's attitude towards Mu Xin just now, he felt that things were not that simple.

And the way He Yiming looked at Mu Xin was clearly possessive.

Mu Xin's attitude towards He Yiming was not that distant.

"If Mu Mu is really that uncomfortable being with me, I won't force her..." he said to Uncle Shi.

Uncle Shi glared and said, "I've watched you two grow up. I know exactly what she's thinking. Cheer up, okay?"

Fu Zichen glanced at Uncle Shi gratefully: "Why do you trust me so much?"

"I've seen how Mu Xin weathered the storm these past two years since breaking up with you. And that He Yiming, even though he looks gentle and reliable, I always feel like he's too perfect to be real."

Uncle Shi paused and continued, "I watched Mu Xin grow up. She's just like my own daughter. Which parent doesn't want to see their child happy?"

Fu Zichen calmed down after listening to Uncle Shi's words and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with He Yiming?"
