Chapter 359

Chapter 359 – It’s All Because Mei Fang Spoiled Him

Xia Yuan’s father, Xia Xun, who had stopped doing the food business since Xia Yuan ran away from home that year, no longer started new ventures but focused on investments in various fields.

It was unimaginable that his investments grew bigger and bigger over the years until he could even casually mention buying a house in Pingshan with full payment.

Because Mei Fang had previously been thinking about external financing, and Xia Yuan did not care much about her family’s business, she never really knew how wealthy they were. The matter of buying a house in Pingshan was mentioned by Xia Xun when he talked to his daughter recently.

Upon learning that his daughter wanted to develop in Pingshan for the long term, Xia Xun thought it was time for her to settle down in a big city and decided to buy her a house to live comfortably.

At that moment, Xia Yuan was busy with the work of the Fang Dimension Plan and did not pay much attention to this matter, saying she would look into it at the end of the year. However, now that Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment was facing difficulties, she naturally wanted to help Mei Fang and invited her parents to visit Pingshan under her name.

Of course, Mei Fang was not very pleased with Xia Yuan’s action. On their way to pick up the guests, he could not help but complain, “If I’m going to borrow money for financing, shouldn’t I be the one to personally visit them? Why should your parents come and suffer?”

“What do you mean by suffering? Why are you being so distant? In the end, isn’t your business also my business? If my daughter’s career is not going well, can’t I ask Dad for help?”

While waiting for the traffic light, Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang’s head, “If you’re worried that you won’t be able to convince my dad, I can go talk to him myself.”

“That’s definitely not possible… if you go directly, dad will think I coerced you, and he’ll think I lack responsibility.”

Mei Fang said seriously, “For something like this, it’s better if I go personally. We’re already adults, and we’re celebrities and big bosses. We need to understand social norms.”

“I’m not worried, you’ve known everything since you were little…”

Xia Yuan supported her chin, tilting her head to look at her beloved, “The most handsome Ah Fang I remember is the one who told me he would run away with me back then.”

“At that time, I was indeed quite brave…”

“Hehe.”

Mei Fang glanced at Xia Yuan while driving occasionally.

“Why are you staring at me?”

“It’s just that we haven’t had much time alone together lately.”

Xia Yuan said in a pitiful tone, “Recently, I always feel like our relationship is no longer what it used to be.”

“What kind of relationship is it then?”

“It has become like a father-daughter relationship, You Xi is like a mother, and I am the spoiled child.”

“You used to love playing, especially when you played house before—”

“But I liked pretending to be the mom, not the daughter.”

Xia Yuan drew a bunch of hearts on the car window, “And during intimate moments, I love feeling Ah Fang lying in my arms. You know this, right?”

Even though their relationship was a mess, seeing Xia Yuan’s cute and delicate demeanor still made Mei Fang blush.

“Oh, why did you suddenly bring up those things on the way to pick up your parents…”

“Because we haven’t picked them up yet!”

Xia Yuan turned to look at Mei Fang, noticing his serious expression, and couldn’t help but ask curiously,

“Speaking of which, do you still remember You Xi mentioning the dating game?”

“Yes.”

“In fact, I agreed because I really wanted to know… whose feelings are stronger between me and You Xi in your heart.”

“This is quite a dilemma.”

“I know it’s too early, but…”

Xia Yuan looked out the window, “I’ve emphasized many times that I like pursuing what I want on my own. I don’t want anyone to let me have it, especially you and You Xi. Our only argument was because You Xi let me have my way.”

“But this time, she won’t let you have yours.”

Mei Fang watched as the high-speed railway station approached, “Of course, I won’t. I need to treat everyone equally to show respect.”

“You’d better.”

Xia Yuan lightly tapped Mei Fang’s cheek, smiling sweetly, “Don’t get dazzled by my charm and confess first!”

“Haha, I’ll wait and see.”

Mei Fang accompanied Xia Yuan to the high-speed railway station to pick up Xia Xun and Yu Ling. They stood at the exit for a short while when Mei Fang received a video call from Lin You Xi.

“Hello, You Xi.”

Lin You Xi, holding her cheek, gazed at Mei Fang through the camera, “Did you pick up Uncle Xia and Aunt Yu?”

“Not yet… Is there anything wrong?”

“I’ll start cooking once you pick them up.”

At this moment, Xia Yuan stuck her head out, “Didn’t we decide to eat out? You’ve been working so hard recently, I’ve already booked a hotel.”

“I thought about it at home. Since we’re seeking investment, we need to show enough sincerity. Eating at a hotel seems too casual. Uncle Xia cares about face, so having dinner at home will be better.”

“That does make sense… You Xi thinks of everything.”

“Isn’t that right?”

Lin You Xi smiled.

“Exactly!”

Xia Yuan also smiled.

“Can you move a bit, Yuan Yuan?”

“Move? Like this?”

Xia Yuan’s head disappeared from the camera, and Lin You Xi, smoothing her hair, looked at Mei Fang still in the frame, “I miss our Ah Fang. Let me see him.”

“Wow! You’ve only been gone for less than an hour!”

“You two can do a lot in an hour, and Yuan Yuan is a habitual rule-breaker. Who knows if you’re secretly doing personal business. Ah Fang is such a doting husband; he’ll spoil you no matter what.”

“You didn’t want to come with me then!”

“It’s because I was afraid that Uncle Xia would feel sad seeing us together.”

“How could he be sad? I told my family about your breakup with Ah Fang recently. Although my dad said he felt regretful, he was actually very happy and immediately offered to buy a house in Pingshan for me!”

Lin You Xi completely ignored the jealousy and tension in Xia Yuan’s words and replied through the screen, “Then I can’t come either, right? That would seem like lingering feelings. Don’t you think?”

“Oh! What I meant was, even if I came, Dad wouldn’t worry. How could there be lingering feelings?”

“Then… are you sure you can interact with Ah Fang as sweetly as you did just now when I’m present?”

“What just happened? Ah Fang, are you reporting your whereabouts to You Xi?”

Xia Yuan pouted, asking Mei Fang. Facing his wife’s questioning, Mei Fang rubbed his forehead helplessly, “You fell for it and said it. How do you plan to compete with her?”

“Mmm…”

Xia Yuan blushed and muttered after realizing, “Honesty is the ultimate weapon. If you keep using tricks like this, you’ll never experience sweet love!”

“Do you mean love like this?”

Lin You Xi blew a kiss to the camera in front of Mei Fang, followed by a heart sign, “Ah Fang, I miss you!”

“Sending hearts!”

Mei Fang followed suit, giving a heart sign and a kiss, leaving Xia Yuan stunned.

“Pick up Uncle and Aunt and come back early. I’ll cook something delicious for you.”

“Yeah, of course—”

Before Mei Fang could finish, Xia Yuan suddenly hugged him tightly.

“Stinky Ah Fang… once you take me out to meet people, you’re mine. How can you be indecisive!”

Xia Yuan punched Mei Fang’s chest playfully, then looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

“If Yuan Yuan is starting to act, should I hang up?”

Lin You Xi bid farewell to Mei Fang and hung up the video call. Mei Fang put his phone in his pocket and held Xia Yuan, “Alright, alright… I won’t be indecisive anymore.”

“Did you feel my sweet hug?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t believe you. I want to hear your heartbeat, see if it’s pounding.”

“Come on!”

Xia Yuan tilted her head and pressed her ear against Mei Fang’s chest, closing her eyes to feel the beat.

“Did you hear it?”

“It’s not very clear, maybe because the shirt is too thick.”

“This is just a shirt, what’s so thick…”

“I can’t… I need to touch it to check!”

“Hey, we’re at the high-speed railway station! What if your parents arrive and see this…”

“Heartbeat’s racing! Are you nervous, Ah Fang?”

Meanwhile, Yu Ling and Xia Xun came out of the exit dragging their luggage.

“That kid and Yuan Yuan said they would pick us up outside, but they’re not answering the phone…”

“Husband, look, isn’t that Ah Fang and Yuan Yuan?”

Yu Ling and Xia Xun watched the couple bickering, falling silent.

“They broke up with You Xi not long ago… Did they get back together?”

“Maybe it’s just the playful behavior of childhood friends…”

“You were their homeroom teacher, and you always tell me you’ve watched them grow up. Have you ever seen this kind of scene when they were young?”

“I haven’t.”

Yu Ling laughed helplessly, shaking her head, “Our Yuan Yuan used to be so obedient when she was young. Now she’s changed so much… Young lovers truly have it good.”

Good?

What good?

How inappropriate…

It’s all because Mei Fang spoiled him, humph!

Xia Xun was delighted to see his daughter but was disappointed to see her chasing after Mei Fang in public, instantly reducing his好感度 by 50 points towards Mei Fang.

Is this the kind of plot everyone prefers?
