Chapter 65 Fan Meng Mixed Doubles - Inviting Song Yan to Dinner
Fan Shengmei came out of Yunqi Spa, said goodbye to Fu Wenying, and went straight to a nearby supermarket.
She will have a day off tomorrow and plans to fulfill her girlfriend's responsibilities by making a loving lunch for Meng Yanchen.
She had just picked up a bunch of fresh asparagus when a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her.
When I looked up, Song Yan was standing opposite the fresh food area, holding a bag of frozen dumplings.
"Captain Song?"
Fan Shengmei was a little surprised, "What a coincidence."
Song Yan took a few steps closer and said, "My home is nearby. I'm out of food, so I came to buy some."
He glanced at the food piled in her car.
"What about you? Why buy so many vegetables?"
"Well, it's rare that I have free time these two days."
Fan Shengmei said frankly, "I'm going to send lunch to Meng Yanchen tomorrow."
Song Yan's expression froze instantly.
He thought of his home with its cold and deserted kitchen.
Xu Qin was either on night shift or at Meng's house. Not to mention cooking for him, it was good enough that he didn't have to serve her when he returned home.
The frozen dumplings in my hand felt hot.
"You guys...are together?"
"Yeah. We've been together for a while." Fan Shengmei admitted generously.
Song Yan forced a smile and said, "Congratulations. I haven't heard Qinqin mention it. It seems he hasn't told his family yet?"
Fan Shengmei paused, naturally heard the hidden meaning in his words, and then smiled calmly,
"It's normal. After all, we are together and there is no need to inform outsiders."
Song Yan cleared his throat awkwardly, "That's true, that's good."
"Captain Song, take your time. I'll go over there and take a look first."
Fan Shengmei pushed the shopping cart and prepared to leave.
"Miss Fan,"
Song Yan suddenly called her, "Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal? Why not today?"
Fan Shengmei remembered that she had promised Meng Yanchen to keep a distance from Song Yan, and hesitated for a moment.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
I dialed Meng Yanchen's number, but no one answered until it rang and automatically hung up.
"Sorry, maybe not today,"
She turned around and waved her phone at Song Yan. "My boyfriend didn't answer the call. He must be busy."
Song Yan raised an eyebrow. "It's just a simple meal, do we need to ask for his permission?"
"He's my boyfriend, so it's normal for me to tell him. We're going to express our gratitude to you together, double the amount!"
She paused and retorted, "Captain Song, do you and I have dinner together? Does Xu Qin know?"
Song Yan was about to speak when Fan Shengmei's phone suddenly vibrated.
It was Meng Yanchen who called back.
"Honey,"
Fan Shengmei answered immediately, and her voice instantly became eight degrees sweeter.
"Are you occupied?"
On the other end of the phone, Meng Yanchen had just finished a meeting and was loosening his tie.
The word "dear" made his fingers pause, his blood instantly recovered, and the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.
He leaned back on the sofa, and his voice became ambiguous.
"What's wrong?"
"I met Captain Song at the supermarket."
Fan Shengmei glanced at Song Yan, "Didn't we promise to treat him to a meal? He said -"
"Wait."
Meng Yanchen's voice suddenly turned cold.
"I'll be right there."
The phone was hung up cleanly.
Fan Shengmei blinked,
"Captain Song, pick a place."
Song Yan, "..."
Fan Shengmei and Song Yan first arrived at a Western restaurant, and the waiter brought a plate of candied bayberries as a pre-meal snack.
The bright red bayberries glow attractively under the light and look very appetizing.
"Enjoy your meal," the waiter said with a smile.
Fan Shengmei avoided having too much communication with Song Yan. She casually picked up a few pieces and ate them casually to pass the time.
Song Yan also ate one, and immediately frowned his semi-permanent chuan-shaped eyebrows, making an exaggerated sound.
“Ah—hiss.”
"Sour and sweet, absolutely delicious."
He also turned his face to the side to show off his superior jawline.
Fan Shengmei looked at him with eyes that cared for mentally retarded children and asked sincerely,
"Do you have a toothache?"
Song Yan felt that Fan Shengmei was quite a spoiler and could not understand his charm at all, so he threw the plastic fork on the table.
He decided to get straight to the point.
"How do you get along with Meng Yanchen?"
"Very good, very good."
Although Fan Shengmei didn't know the specific reason, she guessed that it was because her elder brother-in-law Meng Yanchen looked down on her younger brother-in-law Song Yan.
The two had a grudge against each other before, so every word Song Yan said was full of thorns and was obviously directed at Meng Yanchen.
Although Song Yan had saved her before, except for mentioning Meng Yanchen, Fan Shengmei gave him due respect and gratitude.
But when it comes to Meng Yanchen, she is like a little hedgehog, with her thorns instantly popping off and ready to fight at any time.
There is no way, she is a devout believer of "Mengmen".
Song Yan took a sip from the water cup and spoke casually.
"A family like the Meng family has a lot of rules, right? So Qinqin and I would rather live outside than go back home."
Fan Shengmei looked at Song Yan with a puzzled look.
"You are marrying a wife, and the Meng family is not looking for a son-in-law. It would not be appropriate for you to go back and live there... right?"
Song Yan, who has always been a male chauvinist, could not stand such words. His face changed instantly and he coughed twice.
"Ms. Fan, I'm just kindly reminding you that since we both come from ordinary families, you're in the honeymoon phase now, so everything is fine. But once you're actually facing marriage, you'll understand the prejudices of social status. Once you're married, you'll face the trivialities of daily life. A difference in living habits, a difference in perspective, can lead to arguments."
Fan Shengmei said slowly and calmly,
"I don't think so."
"Oh, really? I'd like to hear why not."
Meng Yanchen heard a familiar voice behind him. He looked at Fan Shengmei with a half-smile as she protected him like a little hedgehog, tenderness in his eyes.
"Meng Yanchen!"
Fan Shengmei instantly stood up from her seat, her eyes sparkling.
"You're finally here!"
"There was a traffic jam on the road, so we arrived late."
Meng Yanchen pinched her fingertips lovingly and took her back to her seat.
"Tell Captain Song, why aren't you worried about family status and the daily necessities of life?"
Song Yan's eyes rolled up to the sky. He didn't want to listen to what was said next.
Fan Shengmei seemed to be on a high, chattering away, forcing Song Yan to lower his head and listen.
"I don't know if the Meng family has a high threshold, but I know you have the final say. You can handle Guo Kun and his gang of old foxes, but you can't handle the things at home. If you can't handle it..."
She paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "Don't I still have you? It's okay. I'll try to grow taller and have longer legs, and then we can get through."
He glanced at Song Yan meaningfully,
"After all, Dr. Xu has stepped out, so why can't I step in?"
He also added, "Doctor Xu still has no say in the Meng family. I have someone who makes the decision. What am I afraid of?"
Song Yan chuckled, "It seems I was worrying too much. Some things are really useless to those who have never experienced them."
He stared at the pile of vegetables that Fan Shengmei had just bought and sneered,
"So what if you step in? Boss Meng has been pampered since childhood and is so busy with his affairs. Do you really expect him to wash your clothes, cook for you, and take care of you meticulously? I bet he can't even tell the difference between a green onion and a garlic sprout."
"Captain Song, are you okay?"
Fan Shengmei was shocked. "Why should he do this? He doesn't have to do it, and neither do I. Meng Yanchen is so rich. Even if he wants to do things like washing and cooking, I can't bear it. Even if I want to, it's not my turn."
She sighed with feigned regret, "This kind of thing is like this: small actions can be pleasurable, but large ones can be detrimental to your health. Oh, I've really wronged Doctor Xu."
Song Yan, “….”
Meng Yanchen couldn't help laughing out loud. His girlfriend was really a little arrogant, but in a cute way.
Song Yan snorted coldly and stirred the pasta in front of him.
"It seems I was wrong. I thought you weren't the kind of person who loved money."
"Come on, I'm a normal person, okay? Normal people like money."
Fan Shengmei was speechless, "Why else do I like him? Because he's poor? Because he's old? Because he sleeps without taking a shower?"
Meng Yanchen couldn't help laughing, and whispered,
"Don't worry, I'll take a shower before I go to bed."
Song Yan was so angry that he threw his knife and fork on the table with a clang, and stood up to leave.
"Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in the team."
"etc,"
Meng Yanchen called him, his voice cold, "When will you take your wife home?"
Song Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked back at Meng Yanchen provocatively.
"Isn't she your sister too? What's wrong with staying at home for two days?"
Meng Yanchen chuckled and hugged Fan Shengmei.
"It's just a legal statement. Legally, the wife is the first heir, and the brothers and sisters come after her. This means the wife is the most important."
Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses. "I can't help it. I'm a law-abiding citizen. Besides, the Meng family is notoriously henpecked."
Song Yan glared at the two of them and walked away with a dark face, leaving only the afterimage of his sharp jawline, dealing zero damage to the two...
