Fu Jinnan came neither too early nor too late, just right.
The man walked straight to Sheng Yunyan with long legs.
He held her waist with one hand, picked up the wine glass on her table with the other hand, and looked at Sheng Wenyun on the main seat.
"Sorry, Dad, I was late due to work matters. She has been feeling sick to her stomach for the past two days, so just think of it as my apology."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's fine as long as people come. It's all a family saying whether to apologize or not."
Fu Jinnan took the initiative to offer the wine glass and touched it lightly with Sheng Wenyun's.
For a moment, his junior attitude was revealed, completely different from the one who usually occupied a high position for a long time.
Even Sheng Yunyan couldn't help but admire the man's lack of performance.
"Sister Lin prepares a new pair of bowls and chopsticks for Jinnan."
Feng Lian stood up and took the initiative to give up his seat, allowing Fu Jinnan to take a seat between Sheng Wenyun and Sheng Yunyan.
Fu Jinnan drank all the red wine in his glass, and then sat down again with Sheng Yunyan.
"This wine..."
Sheng Yunfeng originally wanted to say something, but Feng Lian warned him with his eyes, so he restrained his thoughts.
After Fu Jinnan took his seat, his eyes swept over Zhou Jingyan without saying anything.
The people at the table were all very smart, and they could tell what he meant at a glance.
In the end, Feng Lian took the initiative to introduce him.
"I almost forgot to introduce you to Jinnan. This Zhou Jingyan used to live next door to our house. He and Yunyan Yunfeng were playmates from childhood to adulthood. He is also considered half of Yunyan's brother. Jingyan, this is Yunyan's. Husband Fu Jinnan, I sent invitations to your parents when they got married, but it’s a pity that you were abroad at that time and didn’t come to attend.”
When he heard the word 'husband', Zhou Jingyan's hand that fell under the table clenched involuntarily.
He had guessed it from the moment Fu Jinnan appeared, but he didn't expect that they were actually married.
Zhou Jingyan couldn't hide his disappointment in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained a good demeanor. He raised his wine glass and faced the two of them, "Congratulations."
Sheng Yunyan subconsciously stretched out her hand, but the man next to her held down the back of her hand, "She has a bad stomach, so I drank this glass of wine for her."
Fu Jinnan put one hand on the back of her hand and raised the wine glass with the other hand in response.
In response, Zhou Jingyan smiled calmly, raised his glass and took a sip.
Sheng Wenyun is a very talkative person, and he can bring the topic back to himself in just a few words.
After three rounds of drinking, several men were a little tipsy.
Among them, Sheng Wenyun had the worst drinking capacity. After being knocked down, Feng Lian could only ask Sheng Yunfeng to help him go upstairs to rest.
Fu Jinnan answered the phone. Sheng Yunyan couldn't sit still and got up and went to the backyard to get some air.
As a result, he happened to bump into Zhou Jingyan who was also in the yard.
Sheng Yunyan said hello to him out of politeness.
When Zhou Jingyan turned around and saw her, he smiled and took out a beautifully crafted bracelet from his pocket and presented it to her.
"This is……"
"A gift for you."
"hold head high?"
Although they were childhood playmates, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and Sheng Yunyan felt that there was still a sense of alienation between the two.
How dare she accept such a valuable thing as a gift right away.
Sheng Yunyan waved her hand, "No..."
However, Zhou Jingyan didn't give her a chance to refuse. He grabbed her wrist first and put the bracelet on for her.
"I was originally going to give this to you on your fifteenth birthday, but I didn't expect that this hesitation was delayed for so long. Now I have to treat it as a wedding gift for you. See if you like it."
Sheng Yunyan raised her hand and took a look at the bracelet.
A pink diamond is set on it, shining brightly under the light.
"No, no, how can you be so embarrassed? This gift is too expensive, it's not good."
She is thin-skinned, and she still feels bad about accepting such an expensive gift from someone in the first place.
She was about to take it off right now, but was held down by Zhou Jingyan.
"If you feel embarrassed, treat me to a meal some other time. Nancheng has become very different from before after not coming back for so long. I would be very happy if a tour guide could accompany me for a walk."
Sheng Yunyan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed under his expectant eyes.
"Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Um."
In a house not far away, a man stood behind the glass door, staring at the two people holding hands in the yard from a distance.
The light stretched his figure very long. When he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes cast a light and shadow on his face, and the emotions in his eyes were obscure.
…
On the way back, Sheng Yunyan leaned against the car door and closed her eyes to rest.
Fu Jinnan answered a phone call midway.
The delicate female voice on the phone reached her ears.
The space in the carriage was so big that it was difficult for Sheng Yunyan not to listen. She had no choice but to turn aside and not listen.
Half an hour later, the car drove back to Lanshan Garden.
Sheng Yunyan opened the door and got out of the car first.
When he raised his hand to open the door, he found that the bracelet originally worn on his wrist was missing.
Sheng Yunyan was startled and quickly looked back.
There was a pink diamond on it. If it were lost like this, she would be heartbroken.
But luckily, he didn't fall far, just two steps behind him.
She let out a long breath, trotted over, bent down and picked it up.
However, just as she was about to stand up, a shadow suddenly shrouded her head.
Sheng Yunyan looked up.
Fu Jinnan didn't know when he approached and stood directly in front of her.
The light above his head shone on him, and his handsome face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see the emotions on his face.
Sheng Yunyan didn't think much, just glanced at it, then turned around and prepared to enter the house.
However, as soon as she turned around and before she could take a step forward, Fu Jinnan grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back to him.
Then a cold and biting voice slowly sounded, "Do you like it that much?"
Fu Jinnan's expression was cold, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
Faced with his sudden question, Sheng Yunyan was stunned.
Then he nodded without hesitation, "I quite like it."
She intuitively thought that what he said he liked was referring to this bracelet.
The force on his wrist suddenly increased.
His thin lips pursed into a thin line.
Sheng Yunyan knew that he was angry, but she felt it was baffling.
She twisted her wrist and said, "Fu Jinnan, what are you doing? It hurts me."
"You have found your next home so quickly. No wonder you want to divorce me. Sheng Yunyan, you are really serious."
Sheng Yunyan was stunned.
After a pause of two or three seconds, she raised her hand to greet his face.
But Fu Jinnan was faster and held her wrist in time.
"You got angry because I guessed it?"
His eyes were staring straight at her like a hawk, and Sheng Yunyan actually saw a bit of sinisterness on his face.
Fu Jinnan took a step forward, and she took a step back.
Until there are only steps left behind, and there is no way to retreat——
