Chapter 332: He Looks Cold, But Turns Out to Be a Warm-Hearted Man

~4 min read 785 words

Fu Yan Cheng had originally intended to drive the car to the main gate: "Yan Cheng, just park the car at the bottom of the slope; it's hard to turn around going up."

Liu's father also chimed in, "Yes, just park down below; reversing downhill isn't safe."

Fu Yan Cheng actually wanted to say that with his driving skills there would be no problem at all, but he still accepted their kindness: "Alright, then I'll pull over to the side."

Liu's mother set aside the gratitude gifts and food the Qiu family had given Fu Yan Cheng.

Seeing this, Fu Yan Cheng said, "I'm heading straight back to the unit later; taking these cakes along means I won't be able to eat them, so you keep them and eat them yourselves."

Liu's mother disagreed: "You'll surely have comrades you get along with well in the unit; taking them back to give as gifts is fine too. Besides, the weather is hot now and these things won't keep long; just enjoy the freshness."

Fu Yan Cheng had no choice but to leave them: "Alright then, I'll take these cakes back, but leave the sugar for the little ones."

Seeing Chunxiao's eager, longing look, Liu Chuxue said, "Mom, keep this sugar. Give Chunxiao two pieces every day; don't hand it all over to her at once to keep. She has no self-discipline."

Liu's mother laughed outright: "You're absolutely right. If we gave it all to her, I'm afraid it would be finished in less than two days, and then her teeth might as well be gone."

Several people chatted and laughed as they got out of the car.

Fu Yan Cheng walked to the trunk and took out a handbag from inside.

Seeing him take something out, Liu Chuxue asked, "What is this?"

Fu Yan Cheng leaned close to her ear: "I prepared a few outfits and pairs of shoes for you. Try them on later; if any don't fit, I'll take them back to exchange."

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected Fu Yan Cheng to buy clothes and shoes for her: "How did you think of buying clothes for me?"

Fu Yan Cheng coughed lightly: "I saw some that were suitable, so I bought them for you."

Liu Chuxue thought to herself: He looks cold, but turns out to be a warm-hearted man. Hmm, points added.

Back home, Liu's father invited Fu Yan Cheng to sit in the main hall.

Liu Chuxue carried the bag and returned to her room.

Chunxiao had wanted to follow her in, but Liu's mother called her over to help.

She entered the room and opened the handbag. Inside were a pair of leather shoes, a pair of small white shoes, a blue dress, and a pair of black trousers paired with a red-and-white checkered top. The style and quality clearly showed they were bought at the Friendship Store, and she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth: At least he was thoughtful.

After all, she was heading toward marriage anyway, so she felt no pressure at all accepting them.

She first put on the dress with the leather shoes, walked out of the room, and went to the main hall with open confidence: "How is it? Am I pretty?"

Fu Yan Cheng's eyes immediately lit up: "Very pretty."

Chunxiao rushed straight over from the kitchen: "Sister, these clothes are really beautiful?"

She reached out to touch them, but Liu Chuxue grabbed her hand: "Your hands are covered in wood ash."

Chunxiao looked down at her own hands: "Oh dear, I got it while stoking the fire just now. I'll go wash my hands right away."

As soon as she ran off, Liu Chuxue glanced at Fu Yan Cheng, turned around, and went back into the room. She changed into another outfit—trousers with the small white shoes—and immediately took on an entirely different style.

Fu Yan Cheng simply stood at the doorway of the main hall. As soon as Liu Chuxue stepped out of the room, he saw her: a youthful and radiant young girl. The heartbeat he hadn't been able to suppress before now surged forward with irresistible force.

Seeing his eyes go straight, Liu Chuxue spun around right where she stood: "How is it?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled and approached, speaking softly: "It's as if it were custom-made for you."

Although Liu's mother was boiling water in the kitchen, she had seen her own daughter's actions. She had wanted to say a few words, but seeing the atmosphere between the two, she swallowed her words back. She thought it better to speak to her daughter in private, so as not to spoil their mood.
