Chapter 164: Senior Brother Yan Is Shy? Slapping the Sc.u.mbag Father
Yuncheng Tiansheng District…
Song Fengwan hugged the big teddy bear and kept poking and fiddling with it while constantly turning her head to look at Yan w.a.n.gchuan. From the moment he entered the house, he hadn’t spoken more than three sentences to her. He really is a man of few words and few expressions.
Just sitting there, he was already giving off a great sense of oppression.
She wasn’t stupid. Yan w.a.n.gchuan must have his intentions for coming here so eagerly. He’s interested in Mom, yet he still acts cold and distant.
I really don’t understand what kind of approach this uncle is taking.
Qiao Aiyun came out of her bedroom after changing her clothes. She was wearing a black sweater paired with a cream-colored down jacket. Her hair, which was usually tied up, was untied and slightly curled. It was different from the attire of an ordinary career woman, and she looked even more graceful and elegant.
“Wanwan, remember to bring your admission ticket. We’re leaving now.” Qiao Aiyun checked all the appliances in the apartment before going to the entrance to change her shoes.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan was already waiting at the door.
He didn’t say a word, but his eyes were fixed on her.
Qiao Aiyun felt a little embarra.s.sed by his gaze. She usually had to go out to work and socialize, so she mostly dressed smart and capable.
But now, she was accompanying her daughter to take a look at the examination hall, so naturally, she dressed more casually and comfortably. He kept staring at her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
She changed her shoes and turned her head to look at him. When their gazes met, he looked away with a stiff expression.
His expression was cold and forced.
If he doesn’t want to send us there, he could have just said so. Why is he putting on this face?
“Senior Brother, you can just send us over. We won’t take up too much of your time.”
Yan w.a.n.gchuan frowned, breathed heavily for a second, and forced out a word through his teeth. “Okay.”
“Why did you keep staring at me just now? Am I dressed inappropriately somewhere?” She remembered that starting from the first time she had met him, he always liked to look at her like this, with cold eyes and a dark expression.
Qiao Aiyun kept looking at him. The entrance was narrow, and with the two of them standing together, the distance between them was even shorter than half a human body. She kept trying to get a clue from his expression.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s fingers were in his pockets, and he clenched them tightly.
Seeing him not speaking, Qiao Aiyun sighed slightly. “You look uncomfortable. Why don’t you leave first? We can drive ourselves or take a taxi there.”
She wondered what was taking Song Fengwan so long and really wanted to go to her room to call her. But Yan w.a.n.gchuan suddenly stretched out his long legs and walked in front of her, blocking her way. His expression was still kind of cold.
“I’ll send you two.” His tone was stiff.
Qiao Aiyun was speechless. n.o.body wants to see others with a bad expression on their face all the time. She really wanted to decline, but Yan w.a.n.gchuan then said…
“You look good.”
“Huh?” Qiao Aiyun was stunned.
“Your outfit today looks good.”
After saying this, Yan w.a.n.gchuan looked away, but his short black hair couldn’t cover his red ears at all.
Qiao Aiyun didn’t expect him to suddenly say this. It made her feel a little awkward. After a few seconds, she barely squeezed out, “Thank you.”
I look good?
So he kept staring at me?
“I’ll send you two.” Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s voice was stiff and emotionless.
But Qiao Aiyun could clearly see that his ears were red. This was something she had never seen before. She gave a light ‘Um-hum’ in agreement.
Is Senior Brother Yan…
… shy?
Qiao Aiyun coughed twice. In her impression, Yan w.a.n.gchuan was strict and conservative, had a cold expression, and didn’t speak much. She had never seen him like this before and thought that this man was a little cute.
When Song Fengwan came out of her room, she felt that something was amiss with the atmosphere. “Mom, Uncle Yan, I’m done.”
“Okay, let’s go then.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan walked behind the mother and daughter, listening to Qiao Aiyun’s laughter. The heat in his ears had yet to dissipate.
She’s never smiled like this in front of me before.

The examination venue was set at Yuncheng University, inside the university town. Even when there wasn’t much traffic, it still took more than 40 minutes to drive there. It took almost an hour for the three of them to get there.
The school occupied an area of a few thousand square meters. Recently, many students came to take the art joint examination. The students from the surrounding counties and cities all came here to take the examination. The school had a traffic control system. So other than vehicles of the school faculty and staff, all other ones were not allowed entry.
“Senior Brother, why don’t you go back first? It will probably take a long time to find the exam hall.” The school was very big, and even Qiao Aiyun wasn’t sure when they would be able to leave.
“How are you going to go back?” Yan w.a.n.gchuan stopped the car and turned off the engine.
“Probably take a taxi or maybe a bus.” There were many students in the university town, so there was no shortage of transportation.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan pursed his lips and stared coldly at Qiao Aiyun. After a few seconds, he said, “It’s not safe. I’ll wait for you two.”
“It’ll probably take more than half an hour. I’ll feel embarra.s.sed to keep you waiting for us.”
After what had happened just now, Qiao Aiyun didn’t feel that he was very scary. What can a man who got red ears after praising me for looking good do to me?
Song Fengwan had already opened the door and got out of the car. She was standing in front of a map at the school entrance, looking for the corresponding examination venue. She had no idea that the two people in the car were secretly having a ‘tug-of-war’.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan was stubborn. He looked at her and said firmly, “I’ll wait.”
Qiao Aiyun nodded and prepared to get out of the car.
“Scarf.” Yan w.a.n.gchuan picked up the scarf she had left aside and handed it to her.
“I almost forgot.” Qiao Aiyun smiled at him.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan turned his head awkwardly and said nothing.
***
After Qiao Aiyun got out of the car, she walked with Song Fengwan according to the route.
Fu Yuxiu’s university was Yuncheng University, and Song Fengwan had followed him around here twice before, so she was a bit more familiar with the route. It wasn’t difficult to find the place, but the school was too big, so it took some time to walk there.
There were many people going in and out of the school. The examinations were about to begin, so there were a lot of external people in the university.
After seeing Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan disappear from his sight, Yan w.a.n.gchuan heaved a sigh of relief and began to reflect on his actions just now. It was really rude of me to keep looking at her. I probably made her feel uncomfortable again.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s fingers gripped the steering wheel. He really didn’t know what he should do to get closer to her.
He was a little frustrated. Just as he was about to lower the window to cool himself down with the cold air, he saw a familiar figure jogging into Yuncheng University.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan took out his car key, got out of the car, and chased after this person.
***
Song Fengwan was holding her mother’s arm as they strolled around the campus, completely unaware of the approaching danger behind them.
“Luckily, I booked a hotel nearby. If you had to go through the trouble of going back and forth on the exam days like today, you’d probably have to wake up before dawn.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.
Song Fengwan smiled and nodded. “Mom, what were you and Uncle Yan talking about in the car just now?”
“Nothing much.”
“Did you have a relations.h.i.+p with him before?” Even Qiao Xiyan didn’t know what had happened between the two of them, not to mention Song Fengwan, so she was curious.
“What nonsense are you saying? He only came to our house to learn some craftsmans.h.i.+p and stayed with us for a while.”
“Oh.” Song Fengwan bit her lip. If she doesn’t want to say anything, then forget it.
“Focus on preparing for the exam. Don’t let your thoughts wander,” Qiao Aiyun reminded.
Song Fengwan pursed her lips and smiled. Suddenly, she felt her phone in her pocket vibrate. It was Fu Chen calling.
“Mom, wait for me. I’m going to answer a call.” She quickly ran to the side.
Qiao Aiyun frowned. It’s just a phone call. Does she have to be so secretive? Is she afraid of me eavesdropping?
Children in their adolescence always wanted their own s.p.a.ce and secrets, and they didn’t want their parents to interfere. Qiao Aiyun had always given her s.p.a.ce because she knew that Song Fengwan was obedient and sensible and wouldn’t overstep boundaries. So she didn’t think too much about it.
Song Fengwan sneakily looked at Qiao Aiyun. Only after making sure that she didn’t follow her did she answer the call. “Hey—Why are you calling me at this time?”
“Do I need a specific time to call you?” Fu Chen chuckled.
“My mom and I are checking out the exam hall.”
“Then, when do you think you’ll be free?”
“Probably after nine or ten at night.” This was when she returned to her room to rest.
Fu Chen tapped his fingers on the table lightly. “Can I understand it as this is my exclusive time?”
Song Fengwan choked. Why is this person able to flirt with me no matter what we’re talking about?
“I know you’ve been very busy recently and that I shouldn’t call you. But I just couldn’t help myself.”
Song Fengwan glanced at Qiao Aiyun from the corner of her eye. She lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her heart was hot as it trembled, and she felt an indescribable feeling.
“I’ll wait for your call later. This time…” Fu Chen paused for two seconds. “I’ll wait for you, no matter how late it is. ”
Song Fengwan bit her lip. “Okay.”
“Go ahead with what you’re busy with.”
As soon as Song Fengwan hung up, she saw a pair of black leather shoes appear in her sight. She looked up and had a stunned expression. It was Song Jingren.
This person was her father after all, so it would be a lie to say that she didn’t have a single bit of feelings for him. She clenched her fists tightly and felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes instantly turned red…
“Wanwan.” Song Jingren smiled at her, just like in the past, gentle and kind.
***
Fu Chen hung up the phone and kept rubbing his prayer beads on the side. His eyelids twitched, and his heart felt uneasy.
He wasn’t at ease letting Song Fengwan return to Yuncheng at this time. Her parents’ divorce had yet to end. Song Jingren didn’t dare to go to the capital to look for her and was probably waiting for Song Fengwan to go back.
When she returned to Yuncheng, he would definitely make a big move.
He had informed Yan w.a.n.gchuan in advance, but he didn’t know if this Senior Brother Yan would treasure this opportunity properly.
***
Facing Song Jingren at this moment, Song Fengwan had a sour and bitter feeling in her heart. She had complaints in her heart, yet she also still had a tinge of feelings for him. All sorts of emotions surged into her heart, and her brain felt as though it had been sucked empty.
“Wanwan, I finally found you. I knew you would definitely come for the exam. I’ve been waiting for you at the entrance for days.” Song Jingren took two steps forward.
“I know that some things are my fault, and I’ve hurt you and your mother. Things coming to this point was really not what I wanted to see. I’ve done a lot of wrong things previously, and I’m here to apologize to you now.”
Song Fengwan grabbed her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. The injury on her right palm had yet to heal, and now that she suddenly exerted strength, she felt slight pain from it.
The pain seemed to remind her of his determined and cold expression when he had pushed her.
“I haven’t seen you in so long. Don’t you miss me at all?”
When Song Jingren’s fingers just touched her, Song Fengwan almost instinctively dodged.
The emotions in her eyes were complicated, and in it was a hatred she couldn’t hide.
Her action made Song Jingren slightly embarra.s.sed, and he looked around. Afraid of attracting attention, he lowered his voice. “Wanwan, there are many reasons why your mother and I are getting a divorce. You can’t believe her one-sided story.”
“One-sided story?” Song Fengwan looked at him, seemingly puzzled.
“I know your mother must have said a lot of bad things about me to you. She even stopped you from seeing me. She just wants to get custody of you and then manage your a.s.sets to fight against me.”
Song Fengwan’s beautiful phoenix eyes flickered. “a.s.sets…”
“Do you think she’s genuinely being nice to you?
“She has her own motives too. She just wants to take revenge on me. She made such a big deal out of this whole matter that I can’t even clean up the mess. Now, she even wants to tear the company apart.
“She’s doing it on purpose. Don’t be fooled by her.”
Song Fengwan smiled gently. “I see.”
“She deliberately stopped you from seeing me. She doesn’t have any good intentions at all. Come on, go home with me.” Song Jingren reached out to her, but Song Fengwan suddenly swung her hand…
And a crisp slap landed squarely on the back of his hand.
She used too much force, and her nails left two red and swollen trails of blood on the back of his hand.
Song Jingren was infuriated.
“I tried to be patient and talk to you, but you’re being so stubborn.” He rubbed the back of his hand. “No matter what, you have to go back with me today.”
He reached out his hand to pull Song Fengwan, and he did it with great force, not caring at all if she was in pain.
“Song Jingren!”
He was so focused on pulling Song Fengwan that he didn’t even notice that someone was approaching him from behind. When he heard someone calling him, he subconsciously turned his head. As a result…
He got slapped in his face.
Slap!
The slap landed solidly on his face, making his head dazed.
The slap was heavy and strong, and the sound of the slap was crisp and clear.
“Song Jingren, don’t you have any f*cking shame!”
