Chapter 1307: Has the Date for Xiao Wan's Wedding Been Set?

Perhaps because she had been busy all day, Liu Chuxue fell asleep before Fu Yan Cheng even entered the room.

By the time Fu Yan Cheng rushed in to cool his inner fire, he saw that Liu Chuxue was already asleep.

He tossed the towel he had used to wipe his head onto the rack, climbed into bed, picked up the palm-leaf fan lying nearby, slid one arm under Liu Chuxue's neck to pull her into his embrace, and used his other hand to fan her.

Within moments, a thin layer of sweat covered his body again; it was truly agonizing.

Yet the thought of letting her go was something he could not bear.

Thus, suffering yet happy, after fanning his wife for an unknown length of time, he gradually fell asleep as well.

Yet the fan in his hand seemed to have muscle memory, still moving up and down with a few strokes.

The next day, with matters weighing on her mind, Liu Chuxue woke up very early.

Only Fu Yan Cheng was no longer in bed.

As if by telepathy, the moment she woke, Fu Yan Cheng seemed to sense it and pushed the door open to enter: "Wife, you're awake. Breakfast will take a while; you can stay in bed a bit longer."

Thinking of the day's events, how could Liu Chuxue possibly sleep? "I won't stay in bed. I'll get up and wash. In a while, we'll go to Mom and Dad's."

The reason Fu Yan Cheng had not mentioned borrowing a car yesterday was that Elder Xiao had specifically told him not to be too conspicuous and to mind their influence; he seemed to have sensed something and had even mentioned to Fu Yan Cheng: "In the darkness before dawn, one must be even more careful with every word and action."

Fu Yan Cheng was far too clever not to understand the meaning behind those words.

After all, he had noticed that recently more and more people had returned to the capital with their entire families and resumed their former posts.

Moreover, his wife had often told him before that the nation needed to develop and could not continue like this forever.

The two wasted no time; after eating, they locked the door and headed to the Fu family home.

Since it was not far, they arrived very quickly.

When they entered the courtyard, the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiao family was running around the yard, but upon seeing Fu Yan Cheng, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid inside the house.

Because it was the weekend, Fu Mother's breakfast was naturally later than usual: "Why are you back at this hour? Have you eaten breakfast?"

Fu Yan Cheng quickly waved his hand: "We've already eaten. Today my father-in-law and others are taking my younger brother-in-law back to the village, and we are going with them."

As he spoke these words, Fu Yan Cheng looked at Fu Father, who had come out upon hearing the commotion.

After exchanging a glance, the father and son both nodded slightly; though the gesture was casual, Liu Chuxue saw it clearly.

Thinking of the Kang family in the cowshed, Liu Chuxue instantly understood; Fu Yan Cheng's care for the Kang family was not only because he knew Kang Yuanwei, but because the Eunuch had a deep relationship with Kang Yuanwei's father.

Fu Father turned to look at Liu Chuxue and smiled: "You've arrived just in time. A few days ago, a comrade-in-arms of mine visited and brought me some walnuts. Yesterday I even told your mother to find someone to send them to you."

Although there were walnut trees in the space, she naturally accepted the Eunuch's concern with pleasure; this was proof of how much her in-laws valued her and the baby in her womb.

The group entered the room, and Liu Chuxue spoke first: "Mom, Dad, has the date for Xiao Wan's wedding been set?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Mother felt even more satisfied with Liu Chuxue; after all, aside from the eldest daughter-in-law asking once, neither of the other two daughters-in-law had come to show concern. As they say, love is mutual: "It has been set. We were just about to tell you. Xiao Wan and Ren Jiangfeng have chosen August First."

Fu Yan Cheng spoke up then: "So, do they plan to hold the wedding in the city, or over at the farm?"
