Chapter 904: When Have I Ever Lied to You

~4 min read 791 words

Fu Yan Cheng moved quite quickly; by the time Liu Chuxue changed and came out, he had already tidied the kitchen.

Seeing Liu Chuxue come out holding cotton clothes and trousers, he asked, "What are you doing with these?"

Liu Chuxue pointed to the clothesline nearby: "These are the cotton jackets and trousers for the business trip; they're a bit damp. Judging by today's sun, it should be fine to hang them out to dry."

Fu Yan Cheng leaned over to Liu Chuxue: "A childhood friend of mine went south a while back. I asked him to bring you a down jacket for you. I heard it's even warmer than a wool coat. I'll bring it over for you at noon."

Liu Chuxue smiled at him: "Really?"

Fu Yan Cheng reached out and pinched her cheek: "When have I ever lied to you?"

A few days ago, during her business trip, she had heard Sister Jiang from logistics say that Fu Yan Cheng's younger sister-in-law had attended the Canton Fair and brought back a down jacket for her daughter. Her daughter had been overjoyed, and Liu Chuxue herself had been thinking of going to the Department Store and the Friendship Store to see if they had any, planning to buy one for herself if they did.

She never expected Fu Yan Cheng to make it happen for her: "Then I won't stand on ceremony, my lord."

This was the first time Fu Yan Cheng had heard her address him like that in private; the smile on his face was impossible to hide: "As long as you're happy."

After that matter was settled, Fu Yan Cheng brought up family matters: "Xue'er, are you free tonight?"

Liu Chuxue looked at him: "What's wrong? Is there something?"

Fu Yan Cheng lightly tapped the steering wheel: "My second brother, second sister-in-law, and Xiao Wan and the others have all returned. My mother said she'd like to invite you over for dinner at our place tonight."

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Chuxue agreed: "Alright, then you can pick me up from the unit when the time comes."

Hearing that Liu Chuxue had agreed, Fu Yan Cheng said, "Good. Um, I didn't take the Inner Mongolian products you were supposed to give to the family back last night."

Hearing this, what else could Liu Chuxue not understand? This fellow had definitely done it on purpose.

Seeing her expression, Fu Yan Cheng quickly explained: "I forgot at first. I originally planned to go out and get them, but then my mother asked me to ask you if you were free tonight, so I dropped it. Anyway, with such cold weather, they won't spoil sitting in the car."

Liu Chuxue nodded with a smile: "Alright, one verbal commendation."

Receiving praise from his fiancée, Fu Yan Cheng was overjoyed; the corners of his mouth were about to split to his ears.

As they talked, the car stopped not far from the Rolling Steel Mill.

Liu Chuxue got out of the car, and Fu Yan Cheng quickly opened the trunk: "See which one you want to take."

Liu Chuxue directly picked up the top one, then took a cloth bag out of her crossbody bag and placed the items from the net bag into it one by one: "You don't need to come pick me up specially at noon; I can go back myself. Just remember to come for dinner after you finish your business."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded with a smile: "Okay."

He had originally wanted to walk her in: "The things aren't heavy; I can go in myself. You hurry and get on with your own business."

Seeing her insist, Fu Yan Cheng could only agree. Only after watching her enter the factory did he drive away.

Seeing that the time he had arranged with the person had not yet arrived, he went to find his childhood friend first: "I'm here to pick up the clothes."

His childhood friend, who had been on night duty at the unit the previous night, said groggily: "The one on the table is it."

As he flopped back onto the bed, he said: "I really didn't expect a rough-and-tumble guy like you to have such a side. Your fiancée must be moved to tears when she receives the clothes."

Fu Yan Cheng directly threw a woven bamboo fruit basket from the table at him: "Can you speak properly?"

Zhang Xiaodong didn't react at first; what had he said?

Suddenly realizing the last thing he had just said, he slapped his forehead: "Alright, alright, alright, I was wrong. It seems you really have fallen for it. Bring her out next time you have some time, call up the brothers, and let's get together."
