Chapter 198

all.Old Master Huo smiled faintly, "Xiao Qin has returned.""Knowing it's your birthday today, I came to join you for a meal. Grandfather wouldn't mind, would he"Li Qin and Huo Mingzheng walked forwar...Fu Yan was surprised that the Fu family had sent a driver to pick her up.

The driver opened the car door and respectfully said, "Miss Fu, please."

As soon as he got into the car, Fu Hanlin's call came through. His voice, as always, was low and mellow, "Has the driver picked you up"

Fu Yan held her phone tightly, with a feeling she couldn't describe. It felt exactly like when your girlfriend goes to visit her boyfriend's family.

She felt a sudden surge of nervousness. "I got it," she said.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you at home." Fu Hanlin said, then hung up the phone.

Fu Yanan's mind seemed to go blank for a moment, temporarily losing her ability to think. She was dazed and confused until the car stopped at the Fu family home, and she came to her senses.

The Huo family is a century-old renowned family, with a large courtyard that has gone through three expansions and three contractions. It adheres to the architectural features of the old era, with an ancient and elegant style.

While the Fu family's residence was a stately Western-style building, dating back to the Republican era. It blended both Eastern and Western aesthetics in a unique way.

Fu Yan lifted the gift and got out of the car. Master Fu was already waiting for her outside the guard post, smiling broadly as he walked towards her with Fu Hanlin's support. "Miss, you're here."

Fu Yan rushed forward, "Grandpa Fu, it's too cold outside. You can just wait for me inside the house. Why are you still out in the wind"

"I've been cooped up in the house long enough. It's nice to finally get some fresh air! These little brats keep me locked up all day!" Old Master Fu said, his voice rising with anger as he pulled his hand away from Fu Hanlin.

"Grandpa, we're doing this for your health."

Only then did Fu Yan see clearly that Fu Hanlin was dressed very casually today. He wasn't wearing the usual suit and leather shoes, and his hair wasn't combed neatly either, with strands of hair falling across his forehead. He looked more approachable.

Standing before him, she instinctively called out: "Mr. Fu..."

Mr. Fu looked at her, then at Fu Hanlin.

Then it dawned on them that they were still pretending to be a couple, and they couldn't bring themselves to call each other's names out loud.

Fu Hánlín saw that her ears were red, and he opened his mouth to help her out of the situation. "I've already told my grandfather."

Fu Yan:"Hmm"

"We are not dating."

Fu Yan subconsciously looked at Old Master Fu.

The old man smiled, "It's alright, I know you don't want to hurt this old man's heart. Good child, don't blame yourself."

These words made Fu Yan feel even more guilty. She pursed her lips and said, "Grandfather, I'm sorry."

If you really feel sorry, we can have a good meal together later. Oh well, I won't say more. There's still old-fashioned broth simmering in the pot, I have to go and see how it's doing. You young people chat away.

He quickly turned around and let the butler support him. Just two steps out, he turned back and instructed Fu Hanlin, "Chat nicely, don't bring up work matters, you only ever think about work!"

Fu Hanlin sighed helplessly, "Grandfather, I understand."

This was Fu Yan's first time seeing Fu Hanlin like this. He had always been calm and introverted, with a powerful aura outside. Unexpectedly, at home, he was a grandson who had to be nagged by his grandfather.

I can't help but find it a little amusing.

"Let's go for a walk, I'll show you around." Fu Hanlin glanced at her, a smile hidden in her eyes, thinking she had concealed it well.

"Okay."

Fu Yan nodded and walked beside him. Just as she was about to speak, Fu Hanlin spoke first: "I'm sorry, this puts you in a difficult position."

She quickly said, "No, it was wrong of me to deceive Master Fu."

"Fu Jing told me, you were in a very difficult situation at the time, and you did a good job. Don't blame yourself," Fu Hanlin comforted her.

He continued, "You don't need to feel burdened. My father and I are both busy with work and inevitably neglect Grandpa's care. It's rare that he can find someone to talk to, so he really likes you. I'm grateful that you can keep him company. If anything makes you uncomfortable, just say so."

Fu Yan was pleasantly surprised, "No, I also like Grandpa Fu. I find him very kind and amiable. To be frank, he reminds me of my own grandfather, making me feel very close to him."

"What about the Guangcheng area"

She was stunned for a moment before remembering that Fu Hanlin knew about her situation at the Huo family and probably knew where she was born. “Hmm.” Fu Yan so much, but it turned out she was just a pawn he could discard at any time.It could happen in the next second.No, he always felt something was wrong.However, before he could react to what was...
