Fu Yanci's expression remained calm, but he did not refute.
The old lady was even happier when she saw this. They really knew each other!
The old lady's gaze was too obvious. Fu Yanci pretended to be calm, picked up the teacup beside him, and began to drink water strategically.
The old lady saw through it but didn't say anything. She continued, "Guess what Jingyu said?"
"What did you say?"
Fu Yanci didn't even raise his eyelids. He appeared calm on the surface, but the fingers holding the teacup unconsciously tightened slightly.
Fu Yanci has been with the old lady since he was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was raised by the old lady, so she knows this grandson best.
The old lady deliberately remained silent for a moment, and when Fu Yanci's nerves gradually relaxed, she dropped another bomb.
"Jingyu said she likes you."
“Cough cough cough——”
Fu Yanci choked on his saliva, and a look of shock quickly flashed across his calm face!
The old lady hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and deliberately teased, "Ouch, why did you choke on the water? Look at you, you are usually a very steady person, why did you lose your composure today?"
Fu Yanci took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, then lowered his eyes to hide the shock in them.
After a long pause, Fu Yanci raised his head. He put the teacup to his lips again and spoke casually, "Did she really say that?"
The old lady rolled her eyes at him. "Has Grandma ever lied to you in all these years? Come on, stop drinking. That cup is almost empty! If you don't believe Grandma, you can go back and ask Jingyu in person."
"Speaking of which, this connection was forged by Yan Ci himself. I heard from Jing Yu that you two knew each other when you were young. Why didn't you tell Grandmother?"
She was frightened all night long. It turned out that these two knew each other since childhood!
Before Fu Yanci could speak, the old lady leaned closer to him, looking gossipy: "Shouldn't Yanci tell Grandmother what's going on between you and Jingyu?"
Fu Yanci put the teacup aside and stood up without hesitation: "Grandma, I still have things to take care of. I will take my leave first."
The old lady who had just become interested: "..."
The moment Fu Yanci stepped out of the room, she hurriedly said, "Since Jingyu is interested in you, Yanci, please put away your expression of keeping strangers away and make good use of this hard-earned fate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yanci ran even faster...
The old lady was so angry that she laughed. It seemed that she could finally let go of the worries in her heart.
Fu Yanci, who had fled from the old lady, returned to his study. It was not until he sat down at the desk that his wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
Fu Yanci's expression was somewhat complicated. If he had known her feelings before, he would have been overjoyed, but now he was poisoned and suffering from a disease that would make him extinct...
For a moment, Fu Yanci didn't know how to deal with the relationship between the two.
Fu Yanci was lost in thought when a sweet voice rang out from outside the door: "Brother Yanci."
Fu Yanci looked up and saw Jiang Jingyu walking in with a food box.
"Why are you here?"
Fu Yanci's expression instantly returned to normal, and his tone was neither cold nor indifferent.
Jiang Jingyu smiled and said, "I made some snacks and brought them to Brother Yanci to try."
She walked straight to Fu Yanci and took out the pastries from the food box.
In an instant, the fragrance of osmanthus filled the air.
Fu Yanci's eyes flickered slightly, and he recalled the scene when they were young and climbed up the osmanthus tree to pick osmanthus flowers.
"Brother Yanci loves sweet-scented osmanthus cake. When Ayu grows up, I will definitely make it for him!"
A hint of tenderness flashed across Fu Yanci's brows, which was successfully captured by Jiang Jingyu.
She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake with her bare fingers, leaned forward slightly, and handed the cake to Fu Yanci's mouth.
"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made especially for Brother Yanci. Come and try it to see if it suits your taste."
The slightly cool pastry touched the corner of Fu Yanci's mouth. He froze and quickly raised his hand to take it.
Under Jiang Jingyu's gaze, he took a sip.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Jiang Jingyu rested her elbows on the desk, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at him expectantly.
Fu Yanci met her gaze and quickly looked away, humming lightly.
"If it's delicious, Brother Yanci, eat more. Ayu can make it for you every day!"
While Fu Yanci was eating cakes, Jiang Jingyu caught a glimpse of an invitation to a Cuju banquet on the desk.
Jiang Jingyu's eyes flickered slightly. "Cuju Banquet? Brother Yanci, can I go?"
In front of her, Fu Yanci could never say no, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Thank you, Brother Yanci! Ayu won't bother Brother Yanci for now. I'll have someone make a Cuju uniform for him right away!"
Jiang Jingyu stood up excitedly, turned around and ran towards the door. Just as she was about to step out of the room, Fu Yanci called her.
"If you need anything for your visit tomorrow, just tell grandma. She has the key to the warehouse."
Going back home?
Jiang Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered this matter. He responded and left the study.
After watching her figure disappear from his sight, Fu Yanci leaned back in his chair and looked at the pastries on the desk.
The pastry is shaped like a plum blossom, pink and tender, and looks very appetizing.
Fu Yanci picked up another piece of cake and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
Just as he picked up the third piece of cake, he found a small corner of paper sticking out from under the cake.
Fu Yanci put the pastry in his hand aside and took out the note hidden under the pastry.
Longing for you means longing for you, and short longing for you means endless longing for you.
Brother Yanci, Ayu has been missing you all these years since you left.
——
Today is the day Jiang Jingyu returns home. The old lady had already asked people to prepare the things she needs to bring. The gifts filled five carriages, which was enough to show how much the general's mansion values Jiang Jingyu.
