Chapter 163: You

Xie Zian's hair bristled in an instant.

"The partner side has been waiting for a long time; are you crazy!"

Fu Sijue looked at him calmly and said, "I never said we weren't going. I'm going home; you go by yourself."

He abandoned Xie Zian at the first sign of disagreement.

"You have to give me a reason, right? We already told the partner in advance that you'd be there; how will the Fu Clan manage themselves after you act like this?"

"If you can go, that's just giving them face."

Fu Sijue left Xie Zian no room to refuse, as if he meant to drive him away if he didn't get off.

Xie Zian's face turned dark, "What exactly are you doing? You have to give the partner some explanation."

Feeling Fu Sijue's puzzled stare, Xie Zian became angry.

"You think everyone is like you; the partner also has a temper! I'm scared they'll tear me apart and eat me!"

For his own safety, Xie Zian had to press for the bottom line.

Fu Sijue thought for a moment and answered honestly, "I'm afraid Xi Wan can't think it through."

Hearing this unreliable excuse, Xie Zian's eyes widened.

He couldn't possibly tell the partner that Fu Sijue went to comfort his ambiguous love interest, could he?

"Just that?!" Xie Zian still thought it was a huge matter.

Fu Sijue nodded, "The situation is serious; we need to go back right now."

Xie Zian almost shouted an insult.

"Listen to what you're saying yourself. Xi Wan is already an adult; can she still fail to take care of herself?"

Fu Sijue thought seriously again and said, "You get off the car; we'll talk downstairs."

Although still skeptical, Xie Zian obediently got off the car.

Then Fu Sijue shut the door without hesitation, the driver floored the accelerator, and the car sped away.

The whole sequence happened so fast that Xie Zian couldn't even react.

Caught off guard, he inhaled a puff of exhaust, his handsome face marked with wear, flagged down a taxi and headed in the opposite direction.

When Fu Sijue returned home, he saw Lu Xiwán sitting on the carpet, drawing with two children.

Seeing Fu Sijue back, Lu Xiwán wore a surprised expression.

"Aunt didn't say you had an event tonight and wouldn't come back? Did it finish early?"

Seeing her bewildered look, Fu Sijue inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

It's better that she doesn't know.

Fu Sijue, with a normal expression, handed the clothes to Aunt and strode inside.

"Xie Zian can manage alone; I'm back to keep the kids company."

Fu Sijue carefully controlled his emotions and expression, trying not to let Lu Xiwán notice anything off.

"Alright, since you're back, go help Yao Yao with drawing; the studio still has some matters, I'll handle them first."

Only then did Fu Sijue notice the watercolor brushes scattered on the floor, and his previously settled mind lifted again.

Seems he was still busy drawing with the kids and hadn't had time to check his phone…

"Teach me then; I'm not very good at drawing either." Fu Sijue grabbed Lu Xiwán, who was about to leave, and sat down on the carpet.

Lu Xiwán was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Sure, let's draw together."

It's good to use this chance to let Fu Sijue spend more time with the kids.

"I'll draw a piece with brother Yao Yao, and Mommy and Uncle Fu will draw another; then we'll see whose is prettier!"

Saying that, she rushed over to Yao Yao, moving so fast that Lu Xiwán was surprised.
