Chapter 276: Making A Move Without Making A Sound

“The one having a disco party inside?” The delivery man from Haidilao glanced at 1601. Aren’t they afraid of disturbing the residents with such a big commotion?


When Fu Sinian heard this, the corners of his lips twitched. Is Duan Linbai treating my condo like a nightclub?


“Do you have something you need to handle?” Yu Manxi was sitting opposite him and looking through the menu.


When she went home, she had changed into a comfortable long sweater, wrapped herself in a down jacket, and came out in a pair of snow boots. The sharp and arrogant aura she had instantly disappeared, and she looked just like a gentle girl next door now.


“It’s nothing.” Fu Sinian sent Fu Chen a message and asked him to open the door to get the food before looking down at the menu.


“I ordered a dish of sour and spicy sliced beef and a dish of pickled vegetables with mutton. You can order two more dishes.” Yu Manxi had originally wanted to invite him to eat at a better restaurant. She had already felt bad about staying at his home for the night after her water pipe burst, and she had owed him this meal until now.


But he didn’t want to go downtown, so she could only find a small restaurant near the neighborhood.


She lowered her head to drink some water, but her gaze kept landing on him.


It slightly surprised her that the eldest grandson of the Fu family would come to such a place. The descendants of rich or noble families that she knew would basically never come to such a place because they mostly felt that these places were too low-class.


“Beef soup?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows and looked at her.


Their eyes met, and she quickly looked away. “Okay.”


“The portions here are large, so this is enough.” Fu Sinian called the waiter over and ordered the food.


“Okay.” Yu Manxi nodded. Fu Sinian was usually an extremely taciturn person. Perhaps because he worked with computers all the time, he wasn’t good at interacting with others, so the atmosphere was a little stagnant and awkward.


“Erm…” Yu Manxi cleared her throat. “What did you do during the new year?”


“Write code and sleep.” Fu Sinian’s social circle was very small, and he wasn’t keen on socializing.


“That sounds pretty good too.”


“What are you busy with?” Fu Sinian asked, which was rare on his part.


Yu Manxi rubbed the cup with her fingers. “Looking for a job. There are a lot of job offers in the talent market during the new year. After going around for interviews for a few days, I’ve found a job, and I’ll start working on the eighth.”


It was only then that Fu Sinian remembered that she had been wearing business attire for the past few days. “What job did you get?”


“It’s related to my major. I’m going to be an assistant at a TV station, doing odd jobs. The station hired me for a three-month probationary period, but the treatment is quite good.” The supply of talents like Yu Manxi was way larger than the demand in the market, so it wasn’t easy to find a job, let alone find a job that satisfied her.


“TV station?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.


“I’m only going to be doing it for now. I might prepare to take the civil servant exam later. It’s relatively more stable.”


Fu Sinian didn’t say anything. In the past, he might have been surprised. Yu Manxi looked exactly like a restless seductress, so why would she want to be a civil servant?


But after reading her information, it was easy for him to understand why.


For a person who was extremely insecure, this job could provide her with the maximum amount of security and mental comfort. At the very least…


She wouldn’t be abandoned for no reason.


“I heard that the civil servant exam is very difficult and covers a lot of content. With my level, it’s probably going to be difficult…” Yu Manxi sighed.



After eating, the two of them strolled back home. It had just snowed heavily in Beijing, and the neighborhood’s cleaners had yet to start working, so a layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. The snow melted at noon and turned into frost at night, covering the ground with ice.


Yu Manxi’s shoes were a little slippery, so she walked very carefully, afraid of accidentally falling.


When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the condo building, they happened to meet a family who had just returned from their hometown. They had put many woven bags at the entrance of the elevator, blocking it. The couple was busy moving the bags upstairs, so the elevator was out of use for the time being.


The two of them automatically stood at the side, and Yu Manxi leaned against the glass window at the side. Fu Sinian walked to her side in a few steps and leaned his back against the railing. “Do you mind if I smoke?”


“It’s fine. Go ahead.” Yu Manxi sized him up from the corner of her eye.


It was too cold outside. So as soon as they entered the heated building, Fu Sinian’s glasses fogged up. He took them off and threw them in his pocket.


Leaning against the railing by the window, he took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket. He tilted his head, lit the cigarette, and pinched it between his fingers, looking dreamy and lazy, having an indescribable laziness.


It was dark outside, and with his back against the dark sky, he looked a little dangerous.


Perhaps because Fu Sinian noticed her gaze, he suddenly turned his head to look at her. “Come here.”


“Huh?” Yu Manxi’s ears started burning. Come… here?


But her body still moved an inch toward him very honestly.


“A bit more.” His voice grew lazier.


Yu Manxi didn’t know what he wanted to do. When she got a little closer to him, his warm and humid breath made her heart palpitate.


Especially since he wasn’t wearing glasses right now, his deep eyes were breathtakingly seductive and extremely wild.


Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Under the light, her makeup was exquisite, and she was wearing an excellent ‘mask’, but she couldn’t hide her blood-red ears.


The two of them were standing very close to each other, so close that the hot breath he exhaled was landing on her face…


It was hot and soft, and it was making her heart tingle.


“Mr. Fu?” Yu Manxi felt extremely hot all over. She held her breath nervously, feeling as though she was waiting for someone to dismember her.


Fu Sinian suddenly threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can at the side and leaned toward her. His hot breath was assaulting her…


Yu Manxi subconsciously dodged and turned her head to the side. A scorching breath landed on her blood-red ear. Fu Sinian suddenly reached out his hand and slid his fingertips across the side of her face…


His fingertips were just like his breath…


Scorching hot.


When his fingers slid across her slightly cold face, it felt as though electric currents were flowing through them, making her heart palpitate and tremble.


The heat burned all the way to her bones, and even her body felt a little soft.


“Your hair is stuck to your mouth.” While speaking, he had already stepped back, and the heat dissipated.


Yu Manxi took a deep breath and casually fiddled with her hair to relieve the heat in her heart.


“Let’s go upstairs.” Fu Sinian walked toward the elevator. The couple had already finished moving all their stuff.


The two of them entered the elevator. Yu Manxi bit her lip. “Mr. Fu, I have a presumptuous request…”


Fu Sinian raised an eyebrow. Is she going to push her luck again?


At any other time, Fu Sinian would definitely have said, “Since it’s a presumptuous request, then don’t mention this kind of request.”


But this time, he didn’t say anything and just looked at her quietly.


“I might have to go out for a few days, so I would like to ask you to take care of Niannian for me. If it’s not convenient for you, I’ll try asking another friend.” If she was just going out for a day, it wouldn’t matter. But she would be away from home for a long time, so she was definitely worried about leaving Niannian at home alone.


Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows. Friend?


Ning Fan?


When the two reached the 16th floor, Fu Sinian asked, “When are you giving me the cat?”


Yu Manxi understood what he meant. “I’m getting up early tomorrow, so I’m afraid I might disturb you. Is it alright for you to take it home tonight? It’s very easy to take care of, and I’ve already prepared the milk powder and food for you…”

When Fu Sinian returned home, other than the person from Sichuan, who had left early because his house was far away, Fu Chen and Duan Linbai were still here.


The moment he opened the door, the little kitten meowed.


“A cat?” Duan Linbai was currently lying on the sofa and eating an orange.


Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.


Fu Sinian was tall and looked a little out of place holding a little kitten in his arms. The kitten even had a bow around its neck, so it looked a little feminine in his arms.


“The girl living opposite you?” Fu Chen saw through it at a glance.


“Girl?” Duan Linbai immediately became interested.


“Why aren’t you two leaving yet?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows. They trashed his home to this state, yet they still had the cheek to stay until now.


“Don’t change the topic. Where did this girl come from?” Duan Linbai took his blind cane at the side and walked toward Fu Sinian by following his voice. Fu Sinian’s condo was wide and empty, and it didn’t have much furniture, so Duan Linbai reached the entryway very easily.


Duan Linbai reached out his hand to feel around, but he couldn’t find Fu Sinian, so he subconsciously walked forward. At this moment, the door wasn’t closed, so he walked out of it just like that. Then Fu Sinian reached out, closed the door…


… and locked him outside.


Duan Linbai was dumbfounded. F*ck! What kind of f*cking move is this?


He turned his head and almost bumped into the door. He reached out his hand and hit it hard twice.


“Fu Sinian, you bastard! Open the f*cking door!”


No one answered.


“Don’t f*cking hide inside and not make a sound! I know you’re home!


“Hurry up and open the door! You ditched me halfway and ran away! How dare you lock me outside?! Hurry up and open the door!”



Even Yu Manxi, in the opposite condo, could hear the intense sound of someone slamming on the door. She could see a man in a red sweater knocking on the door through the peephole. He was wearing a very flashy pair of AJ shoes, and from her angle, she could only see a part of his exceptionally fair neck.


Very few men wore outfits of such an eye-catching red color.


Who is this flashy man?
