Chapter 156 Xie Qingcen: I know my limits and won't embarrass you
Zeng Shuwan heard the noise at the door and she diverted some of her attention away from the siblings Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing.
She turned her head and saw Fu Jingcheng running towards her. The smile on her face immediately deepened.
She reached out and hugged Fu Jingcheng, her old face almost smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Chengcheng, why are you here? Have you missed grandma after not seeing you for so many days?"
Fu Jingcheng nodded vigorously. He found a comfortable position and nestled into Zeng Shuwan's arms intimately. "I thought so, so I asked my dad to bring me here."
"Grandma, who are they? They don't look like good people."
Fu Jingcheng changed the subject, and his big eyes like black grapes suddenly looked at Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, brother and sister, standing beside him. His fair, tender and well-behaved faces were full of simplicity and innocence.
Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing's faces suddenly turned ugly.
They looked at Fu Jingcheng in Zeng Shuwan's arms in disbelief. They had never thought that they would see Fu Jingcheng here. The reality was completely beyond their expectations.
Both of them were not surprised to think of how Ruan Liuzheng and Xie Qingcen were together a few days ago, and their mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
The atmosphere gradually became stagnant.
…
On the other side, Ruan Liuzheng looked at the interaction between Fu Jingcheng and Zeng Shuwan. She slowly stopped and frowned, "Have you ever taken Chengcheng back to the Xie family?"
Xie Qingcen nodded happily, his dark eyes glanced at the sofa lightly, and a slight arc appeared at the corners of his thin lips.
His eyes were bright and his expression was calm, without any trace of guilt.
This makes Ruan Liuzheng seem a little unkind.
Ruan Liuzheng lowered her eyes, and her pale pink lips gradually pursed up. She rubbed her fingers unnaturally and said softly, "I don't mean to question you, it's just..."
"I know."
Xie Qingcen interrupted calmly, he frowned, stared deeply at Ruan Liuzheng, a barely perceptible gentleness flashed across his clear and handsome eyebrows.
He stretched out his hand, and inserted his slender jade-like fingers into Ruan Liuzheng's fingers little by little, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, "The last time you went to the Fu family, the old lady happened to be in a bad mood. I had no choice but to take Chengcheng to the hospital and comfort the old lady by the way."
Ruan Liuzheng frowned. She briefly ignored the warmth coming from her palm. Her cold almond eyes were tinged with worry. "Is the old lady not feeling well?"
Since she herself lost her mother at an early age, Fu Jingcheng is probably the only blood relative she has left in this world.
She understood the pain of losing a loved one, so naturally she didn't want Xie Qingcen to experience it again.
Maybe Ruan Liuzheng hasn't realized it yet, but her actions have already shown that she is unconsciously standing in Xie Qingcen's position, thinking about and worrying about him wholeheartedly.
Xie Qingcen raised his hand and gently stroked Ruan Liuzheng's beautiful eyebrows, with the corners of his lips slightly curved, "Don't worry, the old lady is in good health, and she will have no problem living for at least another 40 to 50 years."
He paused for a moment, and a hint of smile appeared in his clear voice. "Last time, she was just bored staying alone in the old house, and I had never been married, so she suddenly made such a fuss, hoping to make me compromise."
Ruan Liuzheng was stunned for a moment, she pondered and said, "Logically speaking, wealthy families like yours should generally prefer marriage alliances. Moreover, with your status, why did you wait until such an old age to get married?"
She pursed her lips unconsciously, her cold almond eyes staring straight at Xie Qingcen, but her eyes were simple and innocent.
It was as if it was really just curiosity.
Xie Qingcen held his forehead helplessly, "Liu Zheng, most wealthy families don't force their descendants to marry. They usually expect their descendants to fall in love freely. Because when you really stand at a certain height, no matter what you do, it's just icing on the cake. Nothing is more important than the happiness of your descendants."
Xie Qingcen raised his hand and half-cupped Ruan Liuzheng's cheek, his clear and elegant eyes filled with tenderness, "Although I am a little old, the facts have proved that it is worth waiting until now."
"Because you showed up, I finally found my true destiny. Liu Zheng, we will be like my parents, loving each other for life. Right?"
Xie Qingcen leaned over and gently pressed his forehead against Ruan Liuzheng's. His dark black eyes were like a whirlpool, attracting Ruan Liuzheng deeply and tempting her to fall.
He had no intention of avoiding people at all. He flirted and confessed his love to Ruan Liuzheng at the entrance, in front of everyone in the room.
No matter how mature and steady Ruan Liuzheng was, and no matter how much experience she had, her cheeks still couldn't help but be stained with a bit of plum pink.
She pulled her hands out of Xie Qingcen's hands and pressed down on Xie Qingcen's shoulders with considerable force to prevent him from taking any further action.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her tone unconsciously lowered, "Well. Let me go first, and we can talk it out."
Xie Qingcen looked at Ruan Liuzheng's shy expression quietly. He smiled barely audibly, and the gentle look between his eyebrows gradually deepened.
He understood Ruan Liuzheng's character and knew that if he continued teasing her, she would probably get really angry.
He took two steps back, raised his hand and gently tidied up the hair beside Ruan Liuzheng's ears, and said with a smile, "I know where to stop, and I won't embarrass you."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes and glared at Xie Qingcen unhappily. She snorted and turned away, not wanting to argue with Xie Qingcen anymore.
Xie Qingcen shrugged his shoulders, followed Ruan Liuzheng's steps, and walked slowly behind her towards Zeng Shuwan and the others.
…
Zeng Shuwan, who was sitting on the sofa, had noticed the actions of Xie Qingcen and the other man early on, which was why she didn't answer Fu Jingcheng's question just now.
First, Fu Jingcheng's questions were a bit tricky, and second, the two people at the door were too eye-catching.
Especially her stern and serious son.
Zeng Shuwan was so speechless when she saw Xie Qingcen's useless behavior in front of Ruan Liuzheng that she couldn't bear to watch it.
She snorted coldly, silently retracted her gaze, and continued to look at Fu Jingcheng in her arms with her turbid yet clear eyes, and then replied, "Xiao Chengcheng, they are all grandma's grandchildren, not bad people."
"Look at how kind the brother and sister are. They don't look like the kind of people who would hurt little Cheng Cheng."
Zeng Shuwan gently kneaded Fu Jingcheng's chubby little hands, explained with a smile, and occasionally glanced at the Fu Yanci brother and sister opposite her.
I am afraid that Fu Yanci and his sister will be sad.
Obviously, she was very happy to be coaxed by the two siblings. Moreover, she had already felt pity for Fu Yanci and his sister because of Xie Qingshu, and she loved them and loved them too. Plus, she also felt sorry for their performance just now.
It was really hard not to feel love for her.
