Chapter 46: Soup
Cheng Zhilan and Su Qian also came to the dining table.
Fu Zhenguo had an engagement and did not come back for dinner.
So it was just the three of them eating.
Cheng Zhilan saw Fu Xiao frowning with a look of disgust on his face. She said unhappily, "This is brewed for you. Drink it quickly."
Fu Xiao remained unmoved.
Seeing this, Su Qian persuaded, "This is what Mom made for you. Drink it quickly. Don't let Mom down."
Be betrayed?
Fu Xiao looked at Su Qian, and suddenly curled his lips, saying with a half-smile, "Do you really want me to drink?"
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Fu Xiao said that. But wouldn’t it be bad not to drink the soup that her mother-in-law had prepared with so much care?
So Su Qian nodded solemnly, "Yes!"
Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't regret it."
After saying that, Fu Xiao picked up the bowl, scooped a bowl of soup, and then drank it in one gulp.
After that, everyone sat down to eat.
While eating, Cheng Zhilan suddenly remembered something, "Kankan, there's a tea tasting party next weekend. If you have time, I'll take you to see it."
Cheng Zhilan thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to let Su Qian slowly get in touch with these things.
Although she herself doesn't really like these social events, some of them are unavoidable.
Su Qian was startled and quickly said, "Mom, I'm free on the weekends. I'll go with you then."
In fact, Su Qian also did some research on tea ceremony.
When she was with Zhou Yanyan at the beginning, she knew that the Zhou family had strict rules and was wealthy and powerful, and they were particular about tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and matching, so Su Qian specially found a professional master to learn from.
She has good talent, so she learns quickly.
So now Su Qian can attend these gatherings with ease.
After dinner, Fu Xiao and Su Qian saw that it was getting late and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Cheng Zhilan took Su Qian's hand and mysteriously handed her an exquisite bag, asking her to look at it when she got home.
Su Qian looked confused, but nodded, thanked her mother-in-law, and went home.
Fu Xiao's face turned a little red.
Su Qian felt puzzled. It wasn’t very hot today!
I always feel that there is something wrong with Fu Xiao.
After Su Qian and Fu Xiao returned home, Fu Xiao's face became increasingly red, and his breathing became somewhat rapid. Su Qian finally couldn't help but ask, "Fu Xiao, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Xiao didn't answer, but just loosened his tie and looked at her with a dazed look.
Su Qian's heart tightened, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"Sit down first, I'll go get you a glass of water." Su Qian said, turning around and going to the kitchen to pour water.
When she came back, Fu Xiao was already leaning on the sofa, with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Fu Xiao didn't expect that his mother would reveal such shocking information.
He knew it was a medicine for strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.
Fu Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that his mother really wanted to hold her grandson.
"Fu Xiao, are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Su Qian was a little panicked. She reached out to touch his forehead and found that his body temperature was frighteningly high.
Oh no! Is this a disease?
Fu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Kan Kan, do you really not know what's in that bowl of soup?"
Su Qian was stunned and shook her head blankly: "Soup? What's in the soup? Didn't Mom say it was a tonic soup made for you? Isn't it?"
Su Qian suddenly thought of the bowl of soup that Fu Xiao drank at dinner, and the bag that Cheng Zhilan mysteriously stuffed into her hands. Could it be what she thought?
Su Qian's face suddenly turned red.
Fu Xiao gave a bitter laugh and looked at her with complicated eyes: "Tonifying soup? Oh, that was the 'enjoyment' soup she specially prepared for me."
Su Qian understood something instantly, and her face flushed red: "What? Mom...how could she do this!"
Fu Xiao let go of her hand, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "She has always wanted to hold a grandson. You know that, but you didn't expect her to do it this way."
Su Qian felt very shy when she heard this, and she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Seeing Fu Xiao's distressed look, she felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was something wrong with the soup, and I persuaded you to drink it..."
Fu Xiao shook his head and forced a smile: "I don't blame you, you don't know either."
In fact, it’s not Cheng Zhilan’s fault, it’s just that Song Ning’s return caused such a big commotion.
So she took the initiative, fearing that Song Ning would destroy the relationship between the young couple.
That's why this soup was created. Cheng Zhilan was also afraid that her son was all show and no use!
The room fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
At this moment, the bag that Su Qian brought back fell down and the things inside slid out.
It turned out to be a set of sexy pajamas, a bottle of perfume, and a note that read: "Come on, let me have a grandson soon!"
Su Qian's face instantly turned red to her ears, and she quickly closed the bag.
She looked up at Fu Xiao and found that he was staring at her with a fiery and deep gaze.
"Su Qian..." Fu Xiao's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed emotion.
Su Qian's heartbeat quickened, and she subconsciously took a step back: "Fu Xiao, you... calm down first, I'll get you some antidote..."
She turned around and tried to escape, but was grabbed by Fu Xiao.
His palm was hot, and the force was not great, but it made it impossible for her to break free.
With a pull, Su Qian fell onto his legs.
"Su Qian, do you really want me to calm down?" Fu Xiao's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of temptation.
Su Qian's heart beat faster. She knew she should push him away, but her body seemed to be frozen and she couldn't move.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Fu Xiao, we can't do this..."
Fu Xiao chuckled, his breath spraying on her ear: "We are husband and wife, this is how it should be. Besides, don't you really want to?"
Su Qian's mind was in a mess, and two voices were arguing fiercely in her heart.
One voice told her that this was wrong, but another voice encouraged her, saying that they were husband and wife anyway, so why bother about these things?
Just when she was hesitant, Fu Xiao suddenly let go of her, took a step back, and took a deep breath: "Forget it, I don't want to force you."
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, and felt a little lost in her heart.
She looked at Fu Xiao who was trying hard to endure the pain, and her heart was moved.
She knew that Fu Xiao always respected her wishes, and even in this situation, he did not force her.
"Fu Xiao..." Su Qian called softly, feeling a little guilty.
Fu Xiao waved his hand and forced a smile: "I'm going to take a cold shower, you rest first."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bathroom, his back looking a little lonely.
Su Qian stood there, feeling mixed emotions.
She looked down at the bag in her hand, gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind.
"Fu Xiao, wait!" Su Qian quickly caught up with him and took his hand.
Fu Xiao turned around and looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Su Qian's face was as red as a ripe apple, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "I... I don't want you to be sad alone, and we are husband and wife... I can do it..."
