Chapter 156 Xie Qingcen: I know my limits and won’t make things difficult for you. Zeng

Shuwan heard the noise at the door, and she diverted some of her attention from Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing.

She turned her head and saw Fu Jingcheng running towards her. The smile on her face immediately deepened.

She reached out and hugged Fu Jingcheng, her old face almost smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Chengcheng, why are you here? Have you missed grandma after not seeing you for so many days?"

Fu Jingcheng nodded vigorously. He found a comfortable position and nestled into Zeng Shuwan's arms affectionately, "Yes, so I asked Dad to bring me here."

"Grandma, who are they? They don't look like good people?"

Fu Jingcheng changed his tone, and his big eyes like black grapes suddenly looked at Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, brother and sister, beside him. His fair and well-behaved faces were full of simplicity and innocence.

Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing's faces suddenly became ugly.

They looked at Fu Jingcheng in Zeng Shuwan's arms in disbelief. They had never thought that they would see Fu Jingcheng here. The reality was completely beyond their expectations.

Both of them thought of Ruan Liuzheng and Xie Qingcen together a few days ago, and they couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

The atmosphere gradually stagnated.

...

On the other side, Ruan Liuzheng looked at the interaction between Fu Jingcheng and Zeng Shuwan. She slowly stopped and frowned, "Have you taken Chengcheng back to Xie's house?"

Xie Qingcen nodded happily, his dark eyes lightly glanced at the sofa, and a slight arc appeared at the corners of his thin lips.

His eyebrows were bright, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of guilt.

In this way, Ruan Liuzheng seemed a little unkind.

Ruan Liuzheng lowered her eyes, her pale pink lips gradually pursed. She rubbed her fingers awkwardly and whispered, "I don't mean to question you, it's just..."

"I know,"

Xie Qingcen interrupted calmly. He lowered his brows, his eyes gazing deeply at Ruan Liuzheng, a subtle tenderness flickering between his refined features.

He reached out, his slender, jade-like fingers slowly weaving between Ruan Liuzheng's fingers, his eyes soft and gentle. "The last time you went to the Fu family, the old lady was having a tantrum. I had no choice but to take Chengcheng to the hospital with me to comfort her."

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, briefly ignoring the warmth of her palm. A hint of worry stained her cold, almond-shaped eyes. "Is the old lady not feeling well?"

Having lost her own mother at a young age, she feared her only remaining blood relative, Fu Jingcheng, was the only one left in the world.

She understood the pain of loss, and naturally, she didn't want Xie Qingcen to experience it again.

Ruan Liuzheng might not realize it yet, but her actions showed it. She was unconsciously embracing Xie Qingcen's perspective, her wholehearted concern for him.

Xie Qingcen raised his hand, gently caressing Ruan Liuzheng's delicate features, his lips curling slightly. "Don't worry, the old lady is in excellent health. She'll live for at least another forty or fifty years."

He paused, a hint of a smile etched in his clear voice. "Last time, she was just bored staying alone in the old house, and I haven't married yet, so she suddenly made such a fuss, hoping to get me to compromise."

Ruan Liuzheng was stunned for a moment, then pondered, "Logically, wealthy families like yours should prefer arranged marriages. Besides, with your status, why did you wait until this old age to get married?"

She unconsciously pursed her lips, her cold, almond-shaped eyes fixed on Xie Qingcen, a look of pure innocence.

As if she were genuinely just curious.

Xie Qingcen helplessly held his forehead. "Liuzheng, wealthy families generally don't force their offspring to marry. They generally expect their children to pursue their own love. Because when you truly reach a certain level, no matter what you do, it's just icing on the cake. Nothing is more important than your children's happiness."

Xie Qingcen raised his hand to half-cup Ruan Liuzheng's cheek, his delicate features filled with tenderness. "Although I'm a little old, the facts have proven that my wait was worth it." "

Because you showed up. I finally found my true destiny. Liuzheng, we will be like my parents, loving each other for life. Right?"

Xie Qingcen leaned over and gently pressed his forehead against Ruan Liuzheng's. His dark, phoenix-like eyes, like a whirlpool, captivated her, tempting her to fall.

He made no attempt to avoid others. Right there in the entrance, in front of everyone in the room, he flirted and confessed his love for her.

Despite Ruan Liuzheng's maturity and experience, her cheeks couldn't help but turn a faint plum pink.

She pulled her hands out of Xie Qingcen's grasp and pressed down on his shoulders with considerable force to prevent him from taking any further action.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly and her tone of voice unconsciously lowered, "Well. Let me go first, we have something to talk about."

Xie Qingcen looked at Ruan Liuzheng's shy expression quietly. He smiled barely audibly, and the gentle look between his eyebrows gradually deepened.

He understood Ruan Liuzheng's character and knew that if he continued to tease her, she would probably get really angry.

He took two steps back, raised his hand and gently tidied up the strands of hair by Ruan Liuzheng's ears, and said with a smile, "I know where to stop, and I won't embarrass you."

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes and glared at Xie Qingcen unhappily when she heard this. She snorted and turned away, not wanting to fight with Xie Qingcen anymore.

Xie Qingcen shrugged and followed Ruan Liuzheng's steps, slowly following behind her, walking towards Zeng Shuwan and the others.

...

Zeng Shuwan on the sofa had noticed the actions of Xie Qingcen and the other person early on. The reason why she didn't answer Fu Jingcheng's question just now was

that Fu Jingcheng's question was a bit tricky, and secondly, the two people at the door were too eye-catching.

Especially her stern and serious son.

Zeng Shuwan looked at Xie Qingcen's useless appearance in front of Ruan Liuzheng and was speechless.

She snorted coldly and silently withdrew her gaze. Her turbid yet clear eyes continued to look at Fu Jingcheng in her arms, and then she replied, "Little Chengcheng, they are all grandma's grandchildren, not bad people." "

Look, the brother and sister look so kind, how can they be the kind of people who would hurt little Chengcheng."

Zeng Shuwan gently kneaded Fu Jingcheng's chubby little hands, explained with a smile, and glanced at Fu Yanci and his sister opposite from time to time. She was afraid

that Fu Yanci and his sister would be sad.

Obviously, she was very happy to be coaxed by the two siblings. Moreover, she had already felt pity for Fu Yanci and his sister because of Xie Qingshu. With the love for the house and the behavior of Fu Yanci and his sister just now, it was really hard

for her not to feel pity.
