However, since he was at the door, she couldn't refuse him entry, so she had to let him in.
The moment Hongli saw Fu Qing, his feelings were incredibly complex. Fu Qing also saw him and casually asked, "And who is this...?"
Before Hongli could speak, Yushan quickly explained, "He's a neighbor. His stove broke, so he came over to borrow mine."
Hearing this explanation, Hongli was dissatisfied. They had known each other for so long, yet Yushan only regarded him as a neighbor.
Shouldn't they at least be friends? Why is she being so hesitant? Is she afraid Fu Qing will be jealous or something?
Hongli was quite bothered by this, but Fu Qing didn't seem to care about his status. He had come today on official business.
"Here's the thing, we're planning to increase our anti-fraud publicity efforts. This time, we're thinking of creating a comic strip. Young people love comics, so this way of promoting our message will be more interesting to everyone. Since you're good at drawing, I suggested to the office that we collaborate with you. Don't worry, you won't work for nothing; you'll be paid."
Promoting anti-fraud is a positive thing, so Yu Shan was naturally willing. "Great idea! Tell me your requirements and general direction for the campaign so I can come up with some ideas."
The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice that Hongli was standing at the kitchen doorway with his arms crossed, holding a soup ladle, his eyes full of hostility as he looked at Fu Qing.
In the past, he would have already lost his temper, but now he doesn't have the right to! He seems to have no choice but to sulk!
They talked for twenty minutes straight, until Hongli's eyes were sore from staring for so long, before they finally finished their conversation.
Fu Qing got up to leave, and out of politeness, Yu Shan casually suggested, "Why don't you stay and have a meal together?"
Meeting the unfriendly gaze of the man at the kitchen door, Fu Qing vaguely understood something and forced a dry laugh, "Isn't this a bit inconvenient?"
Before Yu Shan could speak, Hong Li said, "I only made rice for two people, which is indeed inconvenient."
Having said all that, even a fool like Fu Qing should understand. He excused himself and said they would meet again next time.
After the guests left, Yu Shan began to scold him, "Can't you even say a polite word? Your way of turning away guests makes them feel very awkward."
Hongli did not think he had done anything wrong. "He had ulterior motives towards you, you shouldn't have invited him to dinner."
"He's a policeman, he wouldn't have any ill intentions, don't talk nonsense!"
"He confessed his feelings to you, isn't he still up to no good?" Hongli remembered this matter very clearly!
Yu Shan wanted to explain, but then felt something was off. "Wait! How do you know he confessed to me? I didn't tell you anything about that, how do you know?"
