Chapter 843 You Are Hooking Me When Yan Funing returned to the Fu family, it was already evening. The snow had accumulated thicker and the wind and snow were showing signs of getting went back to the room. Caiyu replaced the charcoal in the hand warmer and let her keep it warm. After a while, Fu Ciyi also returned. There was a thin layer of snow on his coat, which showed that he walked this distance without an umbrella. He took off his cloak and asked the maid to use it to beat the snow, while he went straight to Yan Funing. "How was the bidding for Fufeng Restaurant going?" Yan Funing reached out and brushed away the snowflakes hanging on his eyelashes, and nodded: "It's going well. It's snowing so heavily, why don't you hold an umbrella?" "It doesn't matter." He took her hand and kissed her fingertips without paying attention to the people around him. Yan Funing blushed: "They are all watching."

"The maids didn't see it." The four maids laughed and left the room in unison, closing the door behind them. Fu Ciyi continued to play with her hands and said coldly, "It's snowing heavily. I just got the news when I was off duty. You have to take a day off tomorrow." "Tomorrow is November 19th, a day off." Yan Funing said, "Plus the day after tomorrow is a day off, so we can have two days off in a row?" The man nodded: "That's right, shall we go to Nanshan again?" Yan Funing's face flushed: "I won't go." "It's very pleasant to soak in a hot spring on a snowy day. Such a poetic thing, my lady, don't you want to do it?" "I don't want to." She asked directly, "What are you thinking about? What do you think of me?" "I think it's not realistic through the robe, and the size is wrong. Madam, why don't you measure it directly?" Yan Funing's eyes widened when she heard this: "That robe is so thin that it can be ignored. I don't want to measure it anymore." Seeing that she was not fooled, Fu Ciyi let go of her hand and said aggrievedly, "My wife is afraid of me, and I can't do anything about it." Yan Funing's heart softened: "Didn't I say I'm not afraid of you, but I am a little afraid." "Then go to Nanshan?" She shook her head again: "It's cold, and the stone bed is too hard. I don't want to go." The man sighed, "I thought that if I could take a two-day break, my lady would be happy. In that case, I will still go on duty tomorrow. It doesn't matter if I am the only one in the Imperial Academy. This way, I can leave an impression of diligence to the emperor." Yan Funing chuckled: "Just pretend." He said so much, isn't it just for one purpose? The man grabbed her hand again: "Can't you just be gentle with me?" "Okay." Yan Funing stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "It doesn't matter if we don't go to Nanshan. My husband, please take off all your clothes tonight and wait for me in the bathtub." Fu Ciyi couldn't believe it. He grabbed her shoulders and stared at her.

"Are you hooking me?" "Isn't that just what you want?" She smiled coquettishly, "You don't like it?" "I like it." The man nodded heavily. After discussing the matter, the couple went to the front hall to eat, each with their own thoughts. The wind and snow grew stronger, making people squint their eyes. During the meal, Wan Niang suggested: "There is expected to be a snowstorm tomorrow, so we should eat in our rooms. We won't catch a cold after traveling back and forth." Fu Ciyi nodded: "Just as you say." After that, he told Yu Liang to deliver tomorrow's meals to each courtyard. Yu Liang said yes. Fu Beimo looked at Yan Funing and said, "Sister-in-law, please tell me about today's auction." "The bidding went smoothly. My biggest rival was Cai Mushi. She arrived earlier than me and started to make small talk with Jingzhao Yin." "What then?" "Later I raised the price. I don't know what happened to Cai Mushi. She used to raise the price very aggressively, but today she was a little cautious." Yan Funing said. "Is it because she has no money?" Fu Nanyao guessed. "That shouldn't be the case. Both the Prince's Mansion and the Cai family are rich," Yan Funing said. "There is only one reason, probably because the prince doesn't want to spend too much money to buy Fufeng Restaurant." Fu Ciyi said in a calm voice. "Fufeng Restaurant is the prince's money-making tool. He doesn't want to spend too much money..." Yan Funing frowned, "But now they failed to win the bid. Is there another way to make money?" Fu Ciyi ate his meal leisurely, his voice unhurried: "You really guessed it right, the prince does have other ways to make money." "What way?" everyone was curious. Fu Ciyi was startled, looked around, and then ignored it: "I don't know the details." Yan Funing, who was familiar with his personality, thought to herself, he must know. But he didn't tell me at this moment, probably because he had his concerns, so he didn't ask. After dinner, everyone left the dining room one after another. The wind and snow are especially severe. Yan Funing held her cloak tightly together and was almost blown off balance by the wind and snow. Fu Ciyi put his arm around her waist and let her walk on her own. Only then did Yan Funing calm down. Seeing his brother and sister-in-law like this, Fu Nanyao, who was also walking unsteadily, glanced at Meng Li. Meng Li's face flushed, but he didn't move. Only after he saw Aunt Wanniang walking away, supported by Nanny Li and Fu Beimo, did he reach out his hand to her.

Fu Nanyao grabbed his hand without any hesitation and gently rebuked him: "You have no sense of propriety. Look how considerate my brother is to his sister-in-law. Can't you learn from him?" Meng Li said in a low voice: "They are husband and wife, legitimately. We, we..." "We are not in the right place, right?" Fu Nanyao got angry, shook off his hand and walked away quickly. The wind and snow were so strong that they blew her cloak and skirt out of shape, and she was thrown straight into a tree trunk beside the road. Seeing this, Meng Li ran over and hugged the person in his arms. "You, you didn't want to hold me away, you wanted to hug me?" Fu Nanyao blushed. Meng Li wanted to say no. But holding a woman like this, he didn't want to let go. The two of them stayed like this, hugging each other against the tree trunk in the wind and snow, for quite a long time. It was not until a few patrolling guards appeared not far away that they hurriedly let go. Fu Nanyao quietly put her hand into Meng Li's palm: "You hold me and walk, is that all right?" "Yeah!" Meng Li nodded. He could feel that he was steaming all over. Although he was wearing a lot of winter clothes, the softness of the woman's body seemed to still remain in front of him. He suddenly felt dry mouth. On the way to escort Fu Nanyao back to her room, he quietly raised his head, opened his mouth, and let the snowflakes fall into his mouth. It's icy cool, but not dry at all. When they got to their own courtyard, Fu Nanyao sent away Lvliu and other servants, and stared at Meng Li: "Your palms are sweating, are you nervous about holding my hand?" Meng Li swallowed and said, "Nan Yao, you are a lady and I am a servant. We have no future." "There is no future, so how dare you hold my hand and hug me?" "I……" "Do you remember being shirtless in front of me? It was not long after you came to our house?" "Remember, you said I was the first naked man you saw." "Do you still remember that I sewed clothes for you?" "Remember, you said I was the only man besides your brothers who gave you clothes." "That's good, Ali, I've always treated you differently, don't you understand?" Meng Li was silent. How could he not understand?
