Chapter 2020 There Was No Chance Three Years Ago

The two stood on the stairs, Mr. Fu stood at the bottom and Mu Xin stood on the platform. Their eyes were almost at the same level, and Mr. Fu held Mu Xin's arm.

Cheng Xiaoyu blinked her eyes quickly. This was unbelievable. Mr. Fu was so bold. The woman's husband was already here, but he actually dragged her to the stairwell to whisper.

Gossip aside, Cheng Xiaoyu was still a principled person. He silently said to himself, "Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent." Then he turned around quietly and prepared to go downstairs first and come back to get his clothes later.

As for the scene she just saw, she just pretended not to see it.

But just as I walked down one step, the wooden stairs creaked.

The two of them suddenly stopped talking.

Fu Zichen asked, "Who?"

Cheng Xiaoyu immediately hid in the shadows, held his breath, and remained motionless.

It's not that she was ashamed, but she felt a little embarrassed to see this scene.

Just when I was worried that Mr. Fu would come downstairs to check, my uncle's two cats ran through the corridor chasing and playing, meowing as they did so.

Two seconds later, Mr. Fu's low, hoarse voice came: "Mu Xin, I'm asking you one last time, do you like him?"

Seeing that the two had resumed their conversation, Cheng Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to act rashly again.

She could tell that Mr. Fu and Mu Xin were facing a very important crossroads in their relationship.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to disrupt their conversation.

Mu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I like him."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu sighed secretly, poor Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu continued, "We really don't have any chance, right?"

Mu Xin took a deep breath, and after a while, she said, "Yes, there was no chance three years ago."

Cheng Xiaoyu heard the nasal tone in Mu Xin's voice, so she quietly stuck her head out and looked up.

Neither of them noticed her. Mu Xin lowered her head and stood in front of Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu stared at her with dim eyes.

After a few seconds, Mr. Fu let go of Mu Xin's shoulders: "Then just pretend I didn't say anything. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Mr. Fu walked away from Mu Xin and headed towards his room.

Then, there was a slamming sound of a door.

Mu Xin's body trembled.

Then Cheng Xiaoyu saw Mu Xin slowly sitting on the stairs, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She cried silently, which made people feel even more distressed. After a while, Mu Xin raised her head, quickly wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, stood up and left the corridor.

Soon, Cheng Xiaoyu heard the elevator door ding.

I guess Mu Xin took the elevator to the first floor.

Cheng Xiaoyu also slowly walked to the third floor, returned to the suite she and Shi Chenyuan shared, took a coat, and then returned to the first floor and came to the back garden.

It was already completely dark at this time, the lights were on in the back garden, and Uncle Shi set up the card table again.

The three card partners this time are: Gu Hanye, Shi Chenyuan, and Mu Xin’s husband He Yiming.

Jiuyao sat next to Gu Hanye, studying their cards with Gu Hanye, quite focused.

Mu Xin was sitting by the teahouse not far away, making tea.

Cheng Xiaoyu took another look at Mu Xin and found that her face was calm. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that she had just cried.

But her fingers tightly gripping the teapot betrayed her. Cheng Xiaoyu sighed. It’s not that Mu Xin wasn’t sad, she was just trying hard to suppress her inner emotions.

Cheng Xiaoyu retracted her gaze, quietly came behind Shi Chenyuan, and put the coat on him. Shi Chenyuan smiled and rubbed her head: "Be good."

Uncle Shi immediately gave him a sharp look and said, "Someone gave you your coat and you didn't say thank you. What a pretentious young master."

Shi Chenyuan: "..."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled. She had been worried that Shi Chenyuan's father would be as aloof and difficult to get along with as his mother, but she didn't expect that when she came to her uncle Shi's place, she would be protected.

Gu Hanye ultimately won this round. Uncle Shi glanced at Jiuyao with a smile and said to Gu Hanye, "Just now, it was mainly Yaoyao who made the decision for you, right?"

Gu Hanye smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. I won these games because I listened to Yaoyao and played the right cards."

Jiuyao then said, "I just rely on my intuition. I don't know how to count cards or anything like that. I guess I'm just lucky."

Uncle Shi said that since Jiuyao was so good at it, it would be better to let her fight on Gu Hanye's behalf.

Gu Hanye refused on her behalf, saying that sitting at the card table would be tiring, so let her sit at the back and be a free little military advisor.

Perhaps because their affection was so enviable to others, He Yiming said to Mu Xin, "Would you like to help me look at the cards?"

Mu Xin brought tea to everyone and said with a smile, "You guys play. I'm not interested in playing cards, and I'm not good at it. I'll just make tea for you."

Jiuyao realized it belatedly and said, "Oh, I said I would make tea for everyone."

Mu Xin smiled and said, "Then let's get another pot of Jiuyao."

Uncle Shi looked back at the villa and asked, "Why hasn't Zichen come down yet? Did Mu Xin see him just now?"

Mu Xin's hands trembled, and she smiled and shook her head: "He lives on the third floor, and I live on the second floor, so we can't bump into each other."

Uncle Shi nodded, turned to Uncle Zeng who was watering the flowers and said, "Let Zichen come down and do a lap for me later."

Zeng Bo responded and was about to go back to the house to call Fu Zichen when the door opened and Fu Zichen walked out.

Uncle Shi waved to him and said, "I'm looking for you. Come and make a call for me. I have to call a friend back."

Fu Zichen came to the card table and sat down, starting to play cards for Uncle Shi.

As soon as he sat down at the table, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

First, He Yiming took the initiative to talk to Shi Chenyuan and asked Shi Chenyuan if the wedding date had been set and if he should remember to notify him when the wedding would be held.

Shi Chenyuan was answering He Yiming's question, and then He Yiming changed the subject and asked Fu Zichen: "Zichen, are you dating anyone recently?"

"West Wind," Fu Zichen threw out a card and glanced at He Yiming. "Why, do you want to introduce me?"

"I'm afraid you have high standards," He Yiming said, drawing a card and discarding another. "But you can tell me what kind of person you want. If there's a suitable one, I'll introduce it to you."

Fu Zichen looked at the cards in his hand and said, "Long hair, like Jiuyao, not too fair skin. I like wheat-colored. Family background and education are not important, but the person must be kind and preferably cute. Someone like Xiaoyu would be the best."

When he said this, Cheng Xiaoyu saw Gu Hanye and Shi Chenyuan both glanced at him and stared at him.

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little helpless. Didn't Fu Zichen know that the people sitting on his left and right were jealous? He even used her and Jiuyao as an example.

What Cheng Xiaoyu found incredible was that since Mr. Fu and He Yiming were rivals in love, how could they sit here calmly playing cards and chatting?

She couldn't help but sigh that a man's heart is as deep as the sea.

However, the reason why Mr. Fu cooperated with the topic raised by He Yiming might be because of what he said to Mu Xin on the stairs just now.

It seems that there is no possibility for Mr. Fu and Mu Xin anymore... Alas!

Cheng Xiaoyu still hopes that Mr. Fu and his lover will finally get married.

She looked at Mu Xin again and saw that her hand was holding the teapot while she poured tea, and the water was overflowing from the cup, but she hadn't noticed it yet.
