Chapter 10, Discontent

"Children should not ask so many questions." Cheng Qin stopped the car, "We have arrived, get out of the car."

Fu Ziwen looked at her strangely and said, "What are you dazed about"

Alright then. Fu Ziwen patted her shoulder, appearing utterly disenchanted, much like Youyou.

Oh, it is said that she is the fiancée.

So, what does this have to do with my fiancée

Oh. Cheng Simian chuckled, "I knew it, how could my uncle's office be this clean? It's not scientific."

No, you seem to be quite familiar with her. Who is she

Cheng Simian's drooping eyes, her expression hidden in the shadows, "But they have nothing to do with each other now. Since they can't even be boyfriend and girlfriend, it indicates that Su Xianyuan is not attracted to her."

"Tsk tsk, I just don't understand you women," Cheng Qin said as he patted Cheng Simian on the back of her head. "What's wrong? Aren't you going to call anyone?"

Enough. Cheng Simian finished counting the money and turned to see Su Xianyuan walking in from the office door. He looked at her with a faint smile.

Yes, Miss Cai

Oh

Cheng Simian followed Su Xianyuan into an office. The office was spacious, predominantly white, appearing simple and clean, yet not lacking in design sense

"What time does class start?" Su Xianyan suddenly asked

Su Xianyuan glanced at his watch, "It's one thirty... It's already one ten, I will take you there."

Ah, that is not the case

Oh right, has he been so busy lately? A Yuan, you must remember to remind him to eat with all this busyness

"Stop it, don't call me auntie, I'm not that old!" Cai Xinyuan said, patting Cheng Simian's shoulder, "Just call me sister."

"Sister? Are you sure? That has cost me a lifetime," Cheng Qin joked.

"Hmm." Su Xianyan said as he put down the office documents in his hand and turned to look at her, "Let me take you back."

Cheng Simian pressed her lips together slightly, her gaze somewhat cold, "Who are you"

Cheng Simian looked at Cai Xinyuan without saying a word

Cai Xinyuan widened her eyes slightly and said, "You have such a big niece, huh"

Understood, understood. Cheng Qin took out several hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to her, asking, "Is this enough?"

Cheng Qin raised an eyebrow and then looked at Cheng Si Mian, "Come here."

"... ... It's nothing." Cheng Simian lay weakly on the table.

During their conversation, Cheng Qin looked at Cheng Simian with confusion and said, "Why are you still here? Didn't you say you were in a hurry to get to class?"

Su Xianyuan smiled faintly, yet did not refute it

Cheng Simian swiftly turned the chair around, making a minimal sound, yet startling the two individuals who were standing and sitting on the sofa.

However, hearing that he might have an engagement, one that is recognized by his parents, and that he may even marry that Cai Xinyuan in the future

"Oh? It's me." The woman smiled and said, "A friend of Xianyan."

"Isn't that so? This trip has taken me through several countries, and I am utterly exhausted," Cai Xinyuan said helplessly

Cheng Simian was taken away by Cheng Qin. Cai Xinyuan watched the two disappearing figures and then said, "You have a pretty good relationship with the child"

Oh. Cheng Simian gazed thoughtfully ahead, "Fortunately..."

You ... ...

Why do you say she is similar?

Marriage alliance? Cheng Simian could never associate such a formal matter with Su Xianyuan. A person like him should not be bound by so many constraints

Su Xianyuan pushed the door open and left after hearing her agree so readily After Su Xianyuan left, Cheng Simian began to look around, glancing at the books on the bookshelf and fiddling with the models nearby Finally, she plopped down in Su Xianyuan's large office chair, pretending to read the documents on the desk

So what

Cheng Qin, "Hey you ... ..."

No

"Consider this a surprise for you all." Cai Xinyuan embraced Cheng Qin briefly

Cai Xinyuan tugged at the corner of her mouth, "She is indeed quite cute."

Cheng Simian felt a surge of joy in her heart, "Alright."

Do you understand the concept of a betrothal? Cheng Qin glanced at her and said, "The two of them currently have no relationship; although she is referred to as his fiancée, it has never been officially stated, and Xin Yuan has never mentioned it either. This was something that Cha Yi Gu overheard on one occasion. However, the engagement between the two families is tacitly acknowledged, so it does exist, doesn't it?"

Oh, how have I become like her

Cheng Simian turned her head away, and her hand, which had been tightly clenched, slowly relaxed. "I was just curious, asking casually."

Su Xianyan approached and gently touched her head, his tone unexpectedly carrying a hint of indulgence, "Indeed."

It's fine, it's fine, please don't force others, okay? Simian, let's not listen to him.

Go ahead, you may be busy

The office desk was backed by a large floor-to-ceiling window. When Cheng Simian grew bored, she turned to look at the scenery outside. At that moment, the office door made a sound; she thought it was Cheng Qin coming in. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a woman's voice

Who is leisurely

Ah?

Wait here. Su Xianyan took a few documents from the desk and was about to go out again.

No, no, no, it is impossible. How could he marry her if he does not like her

Girlfriend

This surprise is quite nice, how about it, did you bring any gifts back after going out for a while

What? Cheng Qin did not hear clearly, "Hey, why are you asking so many questions"

Su Xianyan smiled and said, "Have you been home?"

In fact, I do not know much about Xian Yan either; he has always kept to himself since university and does not speak of his family matters. However, I am quite certain that there is a significant family background hidden behind him

Cheng Qin rolled her eyes and said, "Cheng Simian, am I usually that stingy?"

Fu Ziwen was at a loss for words; it had been quite some time since they had turned around, yet they still hadn't remembered their classmate's name! "It's the person behind us..."

Cheng Simian's gaze fell outside the window, but her ears were focused on the two people speaking. Miss Cai? Who is this person? Cheng Simian felt inexplicably blocked in her heart; she was concerned about whether Su Xianyan was eating or what he was doing.

"What does it mean?" Cheng Simian asked in a daze. Her mind suddenly felt a bit empty, and there was a faint pain in her heart. In just that brief moment, she did not understand why she felt so uncomfortable.

There is no way around it; this fellow often gets so busy that he forgets to eat, which is quite worrisome

Su Xianyuan slightly curled his lips, "Hmm, quite an interesting little girl."

Cheng Simian tugged at the corner of her mouth, which could be considered a smile, then turned her head to pull at Cheng Qin's sleeve, "Uncle, I still need to hurry back to school, please give me the money."

The woman walked over from the sofa and curiously asked, "What a lovely little girl, who are you and how did you end up in the office of Xianyan"

... ...

Su Xianyan chuckled, "He will come over later. I have something to attend to. Can you manage on your own?"

This is certainly the case, Miss Cai, you truly care about General Manager Su

"Xianyan, are you done with your work?" Cai Xinyuan walked over and casually patted Su Xianyan's arm.

Cheng Simian inexplicably let out a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to speak, someone pushed the office door open and entered.

Cheng Qin looked at her in surprise and said, "What’s wrong with you? You seem downcast."

Cheng Simian stood up from the office chair

Cheng Simian, "One thirty."

Indeed, it exudes a sense of success.

Yes, my niece

Dreaming? Dreaming!

heartbreak

"Hmm." Su Xianyan nodded at her, "I have returned."

Alright

Of course, let's go out for dinner together in the evening, and I will take care of it for you then

Yes, what is it that you want to do

Yes, her name is Cheng Simian. Simian, please call her Aunt Cai.

What do you, a child, understand? On the surface, it is a betrothal approved by the elders of both parties, but in reality, it is merely an economic alliance, similar to the marriages depicted in television dramas between two prominent families

"Is that person just now called Cai Xinyuan?"

Cheng Qin drove Cheng Si Mian back to school, and along the way, Cheng Si Mian was unexpectedly very quiet

Su Xianyuan said, "If we don't leave now, I will have something to attend to later, and I may not be able to see you off."

Wait a moment, where is this? Is it my uncle's office?

Cheng Qin was also surprised to see her, his face beaming like a flower. "Xin Yuan, how come you are back? You didn't inform us at all."

Hey? Do you know this little girl

"You, you are..." Assistant Ayuan looked at Cheng Simian in astonishment

What era is this?" Cheng Simian suddenly slammed the chair, "Are we still arranging child marriages?"

"No, no, no, if anyone is to send, I will send. Xinyuan should also return home for a visit, so you can send Xinyuan." Cheng Qin replied

What?! Cheng Simian almost jumped out of her chair, her eyes wide, "W-what? Fiancée?"

"Cheng Qin." The woman turned around and happily greeted Cheng Qin

No, I came straight here as soon as I returned

Is your General Manager Su still busy

"Being younger is still better than being older"

After speaking, Cheng Qin noticed a gaze that felt somewhat piercing. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his own niece looking at him with a sinister expression. "What are you staring at? Hurry up and leave, or we will be late."

Come on, I know you don't like going to my house, I'll just go back by myself later

At least you have a bit of conscience, I thought you only brought it to Su Xianyan

Cheng Simian's mood suddenly improved again, as she raised her hand to show him the money she was holding, her expression a stark contrast to just moments ago. "Su Xianyuan, look, Uncle is very generous today, he gave more."

Cai Xinyuan let out a chuckle and said, "How could that be?"

She feels a sense of unease in her heart

Cheng Simian was taken aback, and only then did she shift her gaze away from Cai Xinyuan and Su Xianyuan, "Oh, I... I need to go back."

The woman sitting on the sofa was equally surprised. Cheng Simian quietly observed her and had to admit that this woman was quite attractive, with fair skin and beautiful features, a neat short haircut, and a simple yet elegant outfit, exuding a strong sense of presence

Cheng Simian propped her chin on her hand, her mind continuously revolving around the words and actions of that woman in the office and Su Xianyan.

Well, I will wait for him here

The innocent and pure face of the child was in stark contrast to the cold and gloomy expression she had just shown towards her. Cai Xinyuan felt inexplicably strange, but upon careful reflection, she found nothing particularly odd about it

"Sit properly," Cheng Qin said with a hint of disdain as he glanced at her, then explained, "It should be phrased this way in the title."

Cai Xinyuan lazily sat down on the sofa, "You want me to leave just as I have just arrived"

Cheng Simian raised her eyebrows and said, "If you ask our General Manager Su, you will know whether you are stingy or not."

Fu Ziwen looked around and then leaned close to her ear to say, "I will tell you a secret, Youyou has experienced a breakup; the boy she likes is interested in someone else"

Yes

Su Xianyan turned back to look at her, "Mine."

Fu Ziwen looked at her suspiciously a few times. Hasn't this person been studying seriously lately? Why haven't they been paying attention in class today? "Are you feeling unwell?"

Cheng Simian: Smelly Uncle

Cai Xinyuan looked at the three people conversing, her gaze lingering on Su Xianyuan's gentle face, and then she turned to Cheng Simian, who was wearing a cheerful smile

I am not very clear about this either, but I have known Xianyan and Xinyuan since my sophomore year, and their relationship seems more like that of friends
