Summer Kiss

Chapter 123 An unexpected meeting
She rested her chin on her hand and studied him closely. The more she looked at Fu Xicheng's handsome face, the more attractive it became. How could this man look like this? It's simply outrageous.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Yuning rolled her eyes at him. Fu Xicheng always liked to ask questions he already knew the answer to. He knew perfectly well, but he still asked her.

"Who else could I look at besides you?"

Upon hearing her words, Fu Xicheng unconsciously revealed a faint smile on his lips.

"I'm so good-looking, are you mesmerized?"

Jiang Yuning had never met such a narcissistic person. She felt that after she started dating Fu Xicheng, he seemed to have become a different person. He didn't seem to be like this before.

She stroked her chin and pondered for a moment. Could he possibly be possessed?

"Ningning, what mischief are you up to now? You look like you have something bad in mind."

Jiang Yuning: "???"

What bad intentions could she possibly have? She's just studying her boyfriend.

Before long, the waiters brought out plate after plate of the dishes they had ordered.

Fu Xicheng used serving chopsticks to pick up some mutton rolls and put them into Jiang Yuning's pot.

"Fu Xicheng, I can do it myself."

"Isn't it nice to have a boyfriend who takes such good care of you?"

Jiang Yuning smiled, about to say something to Fu Xicheng, when she suddenly changed her expression after seeing something.

Fu Xicheng was observant, and he seemed to have noticed something the moment Jiang Yuning's expression changed.

Her gaze wasn't on him, but rather on what was behind him.

Fu Xicheng quickly turned his head and looked behind him.

When he saw Meng Shuyu eating hot pot with a woman, he seemed to guess the woman's identity.

She is very likely the Gu Xinghe that Jiang Yuning mentioned.

Meng Shuyu naturally noticed Jiang Yuning as well, and she quickly walked over.

“Ningning, I sent you messages but you didn’t reply. So you had a day-long meeting with Mr. Fu.”

Jiang Yuning's expression was indifferent; she lowered her head, not wanting to talk to her any further.

Upon seeing this, Fu Xicheng understood that some conflicts arise from the fact that both sides keep them to themselves.

He cleared his throat and looked at Meng Shuyu, "Ningning's phone died and shut down automatically. She wasn't in a good mood, so I took her out to relax all day."

"Ms. Meng, after you finish having dinner with your colleagues, may I speak with you privately?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Shuyu's eyes. Mr. Fu wanted to talk to her alone?

Does he have anything to say to her?
Meng Shuyu didn't think much of it or ask any questions. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Fu Xicheng had a clear purpose, and he continued, "After we finish eating, let's go to the milk tea shop next door and I'll treat Miss Meng to milk tea."

Meng Shuyu readily agreed.

She turned her gaze to Jiang Yuning, "Yuning, don't be unhappy. Mr. Fu has been with you all day, haven't you felt better yet?"

Fu Xicheng could tell that Jiang Yuning didn't want to talk, so he gave her a gentle reminder.

“Ms. Meng, let’s talk about this after dinner. You can’t just leave your colleague sitting there all alone, that’s not a good idea.”

Meng Shuyu felt that Fu Xicheng made sense; she couldn't just leave the other person there after seeing Jiang Yuning.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Fu."

After Meng Shuyu left, Jiang Yuning lowered her head and remained silent.

Why is she unhappy?
Meng Shuyu still doesn't realize that she became unhappy because of her.

Fu Xicheng stood up, grabbed Jiang Yuning by the back of the neck, and lifted her off her seat.

Jiang Yuning snapped back to her senses, tilting her head back, unable to understand his actions.

"Fu Xicheng, what are you doing?" Fu Xicheng bent down and whispered in her ear, "Sit in my seat, so you won't see those two eyesore women."

An eyesore?

Fu Xicheng said they were an eyesore?

Fu Xicheng can treat Jiang Yuning's friends as friends, but under special circumstances, he can turn on them without hesitation, and he always puts his girlfriend first in everything he does.

“You’re unhappy because of them. To me, they’re just an eyesore.”

Jiang Yuning's mood inexplicably improved a little. Fu Xicheng was a thoughtful man, and he always managed to find ways to cheer her up.

Jiang Yuning did as she was told, and she and Fu Xicheng switched places.

Fu Xicheng switched their hot pots and plates as well.

He snapped his fingers, trying to cheer up the woman in front of him. "Honey, aren't you hungry? Let's eat now."

Jiang Yuning's stomach growled involuntarily; the lamb rolls in the pot were already cooked through.

She dipped it in peanut butter and put it in her mouth.

She took a bite and looked up in surprise. "Fu Xicheng, the peanut sauce at this hot pot restaurant is much better than the others."

Fu Xicheng nodded. He had eaten here once before and had a good impression of the place.

"If you like it, I'll buy you a bucket later so you can take it home and enjoy it at your leisure."

Jiang Yuning: "???"

Is this even possible?

She had never seen anyone pay money to buy peanut sauce from a hot pot restaurant and then take it away.

Fu Xicheng is absolutely the first person in history to do this; he truly opened her eyes today.

Jiang Yuning did not agree.

"If I want to eat more, you can bring me here again, isn't that fine?"

"Okay."

Fu Xicheng added some more food to Jiang Yuning's pot, pushing all her favorite dishes in front of her.

"Drink more hot water after you finish eating."

“I remember your last period was around this time.”

Jiang Yuning's breath hitched, and the blush on her face grew even brighter. Fu Xicheng was very good at timing things; how did he even know about this?

"You knew I was about to get my period, and you still took me to go swimming?"

Fu Xicheng stared at her intently, sincerely admitting his mistake, "It was indeed my oversight. I was only thinking about making you happy at the time, and I didn't think about anything else."

Jiang Yuning remained silent for a moment. In fact, Fu Xicheng had already done enough.

"Fu Xicheng, thank you, I'm really happy today."

Fu Xicheng never wanted the words "thank you." His voice was tinged with amusement as he said, "Look at your memory, you've forgotten again. Didn't I tell you not to say thank you to me?"

Jiang Yuning arched her eyebrows, a hint of playfulness in her smile, "I did say that, but Fu Xicheng, I am a very polite person."

"Of course I understand, but you have to understand, what I've always wanted is a thank you in action, not just words."

Jiang Yuning realized that she had figured out Fu Xicheng's temper. No matter what she said or did to him, he never seemed to get angry with her.

It wasn't because he had a good temper, but because he was madly in love with her.

All of this was Jiang Yuning's conjecture.

"Fu Xicheng, you're always trying to get me to kiss you, you old lecher."
