Wen Liyu was holding a basket filled with the things Fu Mei asked her to buy.
"It's so heavy." She sighed, put the basket on the side of the road, squatted down and rubbed her sore arms.
If she wasn't at home, her second sister would always pick on her, making her so annoyed that she didn't want to stay at home.
Wen Liyu would never offer to come out and help buy things.
She looked up at the tree behind her that provided shade for her. Not long after resting, a black car slowly stopped in front of her.
Wen Liyu squatted and looked up at the car window. The window slowly lowered, revealing Fu Wenting's handsome face.
"Xiao Yu?" Fu Wenting lowered his eyes, speaking in a calm, unhurried tone, with a unique leadership tone, "What are you doing squatting here? Acting like a mushroom?"
"...Uncle." Wen Liyu stood up and patted the hem of her skirt with her hands. "I'm tired. Let me take a rest on the side of the road."
Fu Wenting retracted his gaze and said, "Come up."
Wen Liyu stood up obediently and hesitated at the car door for a moment, then the door opened from the inside.
She got in smoothly, sat next to the car door, and said obediently, "Thank you, uncle."
She hesitated just now because she thought the original owner had never ridden in a car, and opening the door too skillfully would probably ruin her character, so she pretended to be stunned.
"Yeah." Fu Wenting didn't look at him when he responded, but lowered his eyes to look at the documents in his hand.
Wen Liyu took the opportunity to observe the situation inside the car. There was a driver in front, who happened to be peeking through the rearview mirror and his eyes met Wen Liyu's.
The two smiled politely. Fu Wenting didn't look up, but he seemed to have seen it. "Old Wang."
"Yes, Director." Lao Wang immediately sat up straight and looked forward. The car engine started up and he said, "Director...car door."
Fu Wenting turned his head to glance at Wen Liyu, who immediately came back to her senses and reached out to close the car door.
Before her hand touched the door handle, she suddenly felt a warmth on her back, and the broad chest pressed against her thin back.
Wen Liyu's back of the hand was also rubbed by Fu Wenting's broad hand. She could clearly feel the calluses on his hand, which felt a bit prickly and itchy.
With a 'bang', all sensations disappeared as the car door closed.
"Uncle forgot. Xiaoyu has never ridden in a car."
Fu Wenting's low, magnetic voice rang in her ears, like a subtle electric current, penetrating into her body through her ears.
Wen Liyu's eyes widened slightly, and the tip of her nose seemed to be lingering with the faint smell of tobacco and soap from Fu Wenting.
She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what.
The driver didn't notice anything was wrong. Seeing the car door was closed, he started the car and drove forward.
Wen Liyu came back to her senses, adjusted her posture and looked to the right.
Fu Wenting picked up the document again. There was a pen in his right hand and he was writing something on the document.
His calm and composed appearance made Wen Liyu think that the slightly ambiguous atmosphere and actions just now were just her illusion.
We soon arrived at Wen Liyu's house. Her house was in an alley and it was difficult to drive in.
The car stopped at the entrance of the alley. Wen Liyu waited for a while this time. Seeing that her uncle had no intention of helping her, she opened the door and got out of the car, holding the basket of vegetables in her hand.
Fu Wenting put the documents away and got out of the car gracefully. "Old Wang, go back. Come back at 8 o'clock."
The driver nodded respectfully. "Okay! I'll take note."
Fu Wenting adjusted his sleeves, rolled up the cuffs to one finger above his wrists, walked to Wen Liyu, and took the basket from her hand.
Wen Liyu blinked, watching him walk calmly and elegantly, and quickly followed him, "Thank you, uncle..."
After hearing this, Fu Wenting's lips curled up slightly, "Xiaoyu has been thanking uncle all the time."
"Don't you have anything else to say?" He said in a calm tone, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"No, no." Wen Liyu couldn't help but laugh and explained, "It's just... I feel that my uncle is too serious. I don't know what to say."
"It seems that my uncle has grown old." Fu Wenting nodded, his eyes deep and sighing.
Wen Liyu raised her head upon hearing this and looked at the man beside her carefully.
Her gaze was so focused that Fu Wenting's steady steps paused slightly. "What's wrong?"
"My uncle is not old." Wen Liyu answered seriously, "He is very mature and charming."
Fu Wenting stopped precisely at the entrance of the Wen family's house, his tone and attitude unchanged, "Really?"
Wen Liyu watched him knock on the door and be welcomed in by his family. She couldn't help but gasp inwardly, "System, this man's mind is so hard to guess!"
She had clearly heard from her mother that her uncle had not been back for several years. He had been sent somewhere else for training. He had come back some time ago and had made drastic reforms. Everyone was trying to please him, but he was upright and selfless, and no one could find fault with him.
It is said that he will be transferred to the central government in a few years, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
Moreover, the Wen family didn’t live here before, but my uncle was able to find the Wen family accurately and skillfully. His memory is amazing.
If Wen Liyu had known that this alley was so winding, she would have gotten lost at first because she was not familiar with it.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing standing outside? Come in, dinner's about to start!" Fu Mei shouted from inside the house, "How could you let your uncle help you with the vegetable basket just now? You are such a..."
Wen Liyu pretended not to hear her subsequent nagging and walked into the house with a "Coming!"
Everyone in the living room sat around Fu Wenting, with Father Wen and Sister Wen sitting next to him.
Fu Wenting greeted Wen's father skillfully, while Wen Liyan served tea and water very attentively and said a few words from time to time.
"She wants her uncle to help her get the position of announcer, right?" Wen Yufei leaned against the door frame, his chin slightly raised, his eyes tilted upwards, "Otherwise, when has our Xiaoyan ever been so nice to others?"
Wen Liyu also thought this was the reason and didn't find it strange at all, "Oh."
People always strive to climb higher, so if there is an opportunity, you must seize it.
Wen Liyu: "Second brother, where is the eldest brother?"
"Brother is helping in the kitchen." Wen Yufei looked at it and thought it was boring, so he turned around and walked towards the kitchen. "Little sister, come and help with the dishes. I'm starving."
"Coming." Wen Liyu responded and turned to follow.
As soon as she turned around, Fu Wenting, who had not been looking at her, tilted his head slightly and glanced briefly at her departing figure.
When there were guests at home, Fu Mei prepared an extremely sumptuous dinner, including chicken, pork, and a fat grass carp.
The meat dishes are placed in the middle of the table, surrounded by vegetarian and cold dishes, which looks dazzling, colorful, fragrant and delicious.
"Wow..." Wen Liyu couldn't help but open her eyes wide. Today's meal was not as much as her three meals a day combined these days.
"Mom, this is a huge investment." Wen Yufei swallowed his saliva and whispered to Wen Liyu, "So many dishes."
Fu Mei elbowed him and said, "Go, call your uncle to come over for dinner."
