Chapter 21 We'll Never Be Apart
Not only did they accept the betrothal gifts, but they also reaped all the benefits, yet now they're putting on such a cold and indifferent attitude.
"Brother Li An, let's go quickly!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Fang Wanyu smiled and gently urged them on.
Fu Li'an remained silent and did not respond, his brows furrowed.
But in the end, he said nothing, turned around, and quickened his pace to walk forward alone.
He didn't change his speed because of the other person's presence; on the contrary, it seemed like he subconsciously wanted to get rid of them.
Fang Wanyu originally thought that she would get closer to him and walk alongside him to be more intimate.
But his strides were far too large.
His long legs gave him an advantage, and she had to jog a few steps to keep up.
The two of them arrived at the village chief's house one after the other.
After gaining a firm footing, Fu Li'an raised his voice slightly and spoke.
"Village Chief Liu, are you there? This is Fu Li'an!"
Hearing the shouts from outside, Liu Piaopiao, who was hanging an old garment to dry, immediately stopped.
The wind rustled through the bamboo poles in the yard.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her turmoil.
He then put down his work and slowly walked towards the door.
She paused for a moment at the doorway before raising her head and softly asking, "Are you looking for my father?"
Fu Li'an's expression remained calm and expressionless.
"The village chief said he had something to discuss with me, but he wasn't home?"
His gaze fell on the girl standing in front of the door.
Liu Piaopiao slowly raised her eyes, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with complex emotions.
She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said in a low voice, "Oh, my dad just went out. He said he'll be home soon. Why don't you come inside and wait for a while?"
After listening, Fu Li'an shook his head without hesitation.
"No, I'll come back later."
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned to leave.
Liu Piaopiao's eyes dimmed, and her expression showed slight hesitation.
“Fu Zhiqing, I heard that... Qiao Manqing has recently moved to live near your house.”
“Brother Li An”.
At this moment, Fang Wanyu quietly approached.
"Why don't we go inside and sit for a while? We can talk after Village Chief Liu finishes his business here. Otherwise, he'll rush us as soon as he arrives."
Since they had already planned to have Liu Piaopiao ruin Fu Li'an and Qiao Manqing's good deed...
Of course, we need to push forward with the existing plan.
This will make the plot development even more intense.
Liu Piaopiao is the village chief's daughter, a woman of noble status and respected by the villagers.
If in this life she falls in love with Fu Lian again, and her heart is filled with affection.
They will definitely scheme and plot, even at the cost of breaking up Fu Li'an and Qiao Manqing's engagement.
Once Liu Piaopiao has completely ruined their marriage, he will then seize the opportunity to make his move.
In this way, wouldn't Fu Li'an, who has lost Qiao Manqing and is now emotionally empty, only belong to himself?
Liu Piaopiao was slightly startled when Fang Wanyu suddenly appeared in front of her!
Why did this young lady also come down from the city to the countryside?
She used to be someone who wouldn't even walk a few extra steps.
However, her suggestion was exactly what she wanted to do, and it would be a good opportunity to strengthen her connection with Fu Lian.
Liu Piaopiao casually chimed in, "Yes, Fu Zhiqing, it's rare to run into you today, why don't you sit down for a while and rest your feet?"
In my past life, it was because I was pretentious, too willful, often spoke to him domineeringly and harshly, and didn't know how to care for or be considerate of him.
It was because of that vanity that she ultimately lost Fu Li'an, a good man of upright character.
So in this life, she secretly vowed to be a gentle and considerate woman.
Instead, she sincerely stays by his side, lives a good life with him, and grows old together!
As Fu Li'an listened to the two of them offering their advice, his brows furrowed slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she said seriously, "No, I'll come back later."
He is now engaged to Qiao Manqing.
As someone who is engaged, it's not appropriate for him to be alone with other girls at this time.
Even if it's just going in together for a cup of tea and sitting idly for a while, it's not appropriate.
"Hey, Li An's here!"
Fu Li'an was just about to leave the spot to avoid the situation for a while.
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, I turned around and was surprised to see Liu Wangfu walking towards me with a big smile.
Village Chief Liu greeted them with a beaming smile.
"Oh, Fu Li'an, I was looking for you, asking around everywhere. I never expected to run into Fang Zhiqing here today. She even went out of her way to find you for me. Fang Zhiqing is so kind and helpful; she's truly admirable!"
His tone was warm.
Fang Wanyu quickly said modestly, "Oh, Village Chief Liu, you're too kind. This is all we should do. We're all neighbors, so helping each other out is only natural. Please don't take it to heart."
As she spoke, she waved her hand gently.
Liu Piaopiao, who was standing next to her, glanced at her.
She was all too familiar with this person's pretentious manner.
In her past life, Fang Wanyu also tried to please and win over Fu Li'an.
But what happened in the end?
Not only did he fail to gain her favor, but he was also severely punished by her, losing all face.
She still vividly remembers the events of that lifetime.
Although some things have changed in this life, and the situation seems different from the past.
But she still won't allow anyone to stand in her way.
Fu Li'an's position belongs to her alone, and no one can take it away from her!
She and Fu Lian were destined to be husband and wife!
They can never be separated in this lifetime.
"Come in and sit down, everyone!"
Liu Wangfu greeted him with a smile.
Liu Wangfu beckoned Fu Lian and Fang Wanyu into the house.
The group stepped across the threshold one after the other.
As soon as they sat down, Liu Piaopiao immediately rummaged through the cupboard and pulled out a cup from the house.
Those are cups specially prepared for guests.
I don't use it often, but every time I take it out, it gets polished to a shine.
She walked quickly to Fu Lian and poured him a glass of cold water.
"Fu Zhiqing, are you thirsty? It's so hot outside, come and have some water to soothe your throat."
Liu Piaopiao smiled and handed over the teacup.
This is her favorite cup—she usually doesn't want anyone else to touch it.
Furthermore, Fu Li'an has a peculiar habit.
Even in the coldest part of winter, he never drinks hot water.
He prefers things that are cold, the colder the better.
Moreover, no woman in her life understood Fu Li'an better than her.
She knew what dishes he liked to eat, what kind of personality traits he disliked, and she could even accurately predict his mood swings.
"Li An, is it true that you're engaged to the youngest daughter of the Qiao family?"
Liu Wangfu finally couldn't help but ask with a hint of regret.
As soon as Village Chief Liu uttered these words...
The room suddenly became much quieter, as if the air had frozen.
