Chapter 264 Come to the door
"Why are you dazed?"

Fu Linchuan snapped his fingers in front of her, and Ye Xi refocused her gaze on his face.

She stepped aside to make way for him to come in first.

Fu Linchuan was already familiar with the layout of the living room, and took the initiative to sit down in the single sofa.

Ye Xi poured him a glass of water, then sat down against the sofa armrest and asked a question first: "You have such a good relationship with He Zisheng, why don't you cooperate with the He family?"

When He Zisheng greeted them in the morning, Fu Linchuan had already guessed that she would ask this question and had prepared an answer in advance.

"My relationship with the He family mainly stems from He Zisheng. Although he is an only son, he hasn't become the head of the family yet, so his decision-making power is limited. The Fu family wants to enter the E country market, and he can't protect them alone."

This was, of course, a euphemism. Given the attitude of the He family head towards him today, if he truly wanted to cooperate with the He family, they would certainly give him their full support. But one family is never as stable as two.

"Friends and wife are not mutually exclusive choices."

The He family and he were like brothers, and if the Ye family were added as their in-laws, he would basically have half of the support in Yuncheng, which would ensure that everything would go smoothly.

Ye Xi couldn't help but applaud him: "With a two-pronged approach, President Fu is truly cautious. No wonder he was able to become the head of the Fu Group."

With his meticulous planning and ambition, coupled with the strength of his family, his future development in Country E will not be inferior to that in Country L.

The more you look into this marriage, the more worthwhile it seems.

Ye Xi put aside her serious thoughts and put on a gentle smile.

"I've already spoken to my family. Tomorrow you'll come back to the Ye family with me to finalize our marriage."

Just as Fu Linchuan had predicted.

He nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Just prepare whatever you think is appropriate for the delivery." "Just don't be too perfunctory."

“Hmm,” Fu Linchuan held the cup in his hand, turning it around and playing with it as if he were holding a bottle of wine.

"Oh right, there's one more important thing," Ye Xi suddenly remembered and instructed Fu Linchuan, "I didn't mention the marriage alliance when I brought this up with them, so don't give it away."

Fu Linchuan stopped moving.

"Oh? What did you say?"

Ye Xi shut her mouth, somewhat unwilling to elaborate.

A smile appeared in Fu Linchuan's eyes: "Miss Ye, if you don't explain things clearly to me, you might be exposed tomorrow."

Ye Xi blinked and then made it clear: "Just say I like you."

After saying it, Ye Xi didn't find it as difficult to say as she had imagined. She even reminded him, "Since you came to my house with me, it means we are mutually attracted. So you have to say you like me too, understand?"

Fu Linchuan stared at the shimmering transparent liquid in the glass, a cryptic glint in his eyes.

"Yeah, I like you."

Ye Xi nodded. Not bad, quite cooperative. She continued to think of anything she had missed, completely unaware of the way the other person looked at her, their eyes hazy and sparkling, as if overflowing with shattered starlight.

……

The next day, Ye Xi knocked on Fu Linchuan's door early in the morning. While eating the breakfast he had made, she reminded him of the things she had remembered that morning. Her memory had not returned, and in fact, she didn't remember much. It was all what she had observed during her time with them. However, she still told him everything she could think of.

After breakfast, Fu Linchuan showed her the prepared food, and Ye Xi couldn't find any fault with it. Then she took the initiative to help him choose matching clothes, and finally left with him with satisfaction.

Fu Linchuan drove himself, and the car was fast and smooth. When they arrived at the Ye family mansion, it was not yet 10:30.

The car stopped at the gate, and the servants immediately came out to greet him, helping Fu Linchuan unload the gifts he had brought. There were many rare items that Yuncheng had never seen before, and they wondered if they had been airlifted from Country L. Most of the servants had never been abroad, and they couldn't help but look at them with curiosity as they carried them.

"Be quiet," the butler instructed from the doorway. After the items were mostly moved, he said to the two women who had gotten out of the car, "Miss, the master is waiting for you in the living room."

Ye Xi nodded and watched the butler lead the people inside first. Only after there was no one outside the gate did she turn to look at Fu Linchuan.

Fu Linchuan walked to her side, looking at the relief on the Ye family's gate. This wasn't his first visit, but Ye Xi sensed a subtle tension in him.

She held out her hand to him: "Let's go."

Fu Linchuan turned his gaze to her. He was tall, and the light at the doorway was too bright, so Ye Xi couldn't see his expression because of the backlight.

Seeing that he was staring at her without moving, Ye Xi thought he was being indecisive, so she grabbed his hand that was hanging by his side and held it firmly in her palm.

"Go in."

Since the young lady had spoken, Fu Linchuan had no choice but to follow her into the Ye residence.

She walked ahead, and Fu Linchuan followed her pace, his gaze falling to the spot where their hands were clasped, feeling the warmth emanating from her palm.

It was already midsummer, and this posture was bound to be a bit hot, but Fu Linchuan was completely unaware of it. He even quietly moved his position and changed to clasping his hands together.

Ye Xi sensed his subtle movement, and felt a slight pang in her heart, but then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

A long, open path led from the Ye family mansion to the living room, resembling a small playground with a huge fountain in the middle and many small statues lining both sides. It would be very hot to walk straight through, so the Ye family members avoided this route. Last time, they deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Yixuan, so no one reminded him. This time, Ye Xi led Fu Linchuan around a corner and into a cool pavilion.

The road didn't take long before they arrived at the Ye family's living room. Along the way, they passed the place where Ye Xi had taken Fu Linchuan for a walk last time.

Knowing that Fu Linchuan was coming today, the entire Ye family, young and old, stayed in the living room and waited. The moment Fu Linchuan entered, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Even though he was prepared, Fu Linchuan still felt he hadn't prepared enough when he saw this scene.

Today, as the future son-in-law of the Ye family, Fu Linchuan put aside all his usual demeanor, being humble and modest, but not overly subservient, striking the perfect balance.

Ye Xi watched his performance quietly.

During meals, Fu Linchuan would carefully serve her her favorite dishes, peeling shrimp before placing them in her bowl and removing all the bones from the fish. Ye Qing'an was eager to compete with him in drinking, and after several glasses of strong liquor, Fu Linchuan remained unfazed, cleverly answering Ye Xiao's riddled questions while also noticing Ye Xi's gaze and promptly refilling her juice.

After the meal, the Ye family was very satisfied with him, and Ye Xi was also very surprised that he knew so much about her preferences.

He even knew that she liked to drink sweet fruit juice before meals, but only liked to drink bland fruit juice after the first bite of food. He even finished the fruit juice she didn't finish without any hesitation.

How terrifying would an opponent be?! Ye Xi asked herself if she could do that, and couldn't help but sigh at her choice once again.
