Desire possesses, unable to escape from the palm of my roommate's uncle

"…In the sixteenth year of Jinghe, Dali Temple Minister Wen Huaiyi carried his grandmother's coffin out of the city and secretly escorted three thousand elite soldiers to the border to deliver food and fodder.

When he set out, he stopped at Fangmapo in the suburbs of Beijing and looked back.

Six years ago, it was here that Xie Minghui kidnapped Xie Changfeng, who had recently won the top three places in the imperial examination and was famous in the capital. Since then, there has been no news of him and it is difficult to find his whereabouts.

The century-long reputation of the Xie family was destroyed overnight, and this unique genius became a treacherous minister and villain who was hated by everyone.

If this trip goes well, he thought, he would finally have the chance to ask Xie Minghui why she left without saying goodbye six years ago.

Damn it, the male supporting character who was originally so devoted to Jiang Qingyan was suddenly turned into a stupid beauty who only knew how to wait there after hearing her words.

Fu Miaoxi looked up, wanting to tell Jiang Qingyan to stop reading, but happened to bump into his sight.

This was not the first time Fu Miaoxi looked into his eyes, but it was the first time she felt Jiang Qingyan's oppression from their gaze.

"Fu Miaomiao, stop reading these messed-up plots. However, I also want to ask you a question."

"You...you ask."

"Will you leave me? Will you go away without saying goodbye?" Jiang Qingyan's voice was very soft, and on this late autumn afternoon, it seemed that it would be blown away by the wind.

Fu Miaoxi didn't understand his deeper meaning. How could she possibly stay with him forever?

By the time he gets tired of her, maybe she won't even need to leave, Jiang Qingyan will have kicked her away.

But at this moment, Fu Miaoxi could only smile and use her smile to cover up her true thoughts: "No."

Haha, a little liar without any true feelings, Jiang Qingyan laughed at himself in his heart, but he would not let her go so easily.

"Never, or not until you've repaid me?"

Fu Miaoxi's scalp was tingling. She couldn't say any sweet words to Jiang Qingyan.

Sweet talk? Yes! Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and Fu Miaoxi answered happily: "My uncle is so kind, I can never repay him enough."

Look, this sentence not only praises Jiang Qingyan for being so nice to her, but also expresses her gratitude clearly.

On the other hand, it also implies that it is normal for them to break up when he gets tired of her.

I'm so smart! Fu Miaoxi thought happily.

Jiang Qingyan was also infected by her extremely happy look. Although he didn't know what she suddenly thought of to make her so happy, it didn't stop him from setting a trap for her.

"Then it's a deal. You're not allowed to leave me until you've repaid my kindness."

Because they were in a bookstore, the voice was still very soft, but the last sentence was spoken word by word with an inexplicable solemnity.

Fu Miaoxi's heart skipped a beat and she nodded involuntarily.

It was not until she was led out of the bookstore by Jiang Qingyan that she realized what she had just promised Jiang Qingyan.

She was half a step behind Jiang Qingyan and suddenly found it difficult to understand him.

Is it because he has never seen a female college student as poor as her? Why does he act like a tyrant who is so interested in her?

Seeing that the person was found, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be questioned whether the omnipotent assistant could take care of children.

Meng Yiran was not very happy. She had hoped that if she couldn't find Fu Miaoxi for a long time, Jiang Qingyan might be angry.

She had been with Ming Tongchen for some time and knew how short Jiang Qingyan's patience was.

After all, his noble and refined appearance is just his appearance. How can he be an icebreaker in the world of fame and fortune and be someone who is easy to get along with?

However, they didn't expect that Jiang Qingyan actually came back with Fu Miaoxi, not caring at all whether Fu Miaoxi was fooling around or not, and whether it was rude to make them wait for a long time.

Anger welled up in Meng Yiran, and she blurted out, "Miss Fu, you've really kept us waiting. We've booked a table at the French restaurant for lunch. If Miss Fu doesn't show up, no one will have to eat."

Fu Miaoxi knew that she was indeed in the wrong.

She hadn't gotten used to her new phone yet. When she entered the bookstore, she wanted to set it to vibrate mode, but accidentally switched it to silent mode, which is why she missed more than a dozen missed calls.

But she also didn't want to stand here and be scolded for nothing. When she thought about how Jiang Qingyan hadn't mentioned her running around at all, she was even more unwilling to let an outsider blame her.

So she hid behind Jiang Qingyan to avoid Meng Yiran's attack.

Seeing that Fu Miaoxi didn't dare to retort, Meng Yiran became angry and wanted to say a few more words to her.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyan, who had always been indifferent and never participated in verbal disputes, spoke calmly and asked Ming Tongchen: "Did your assistant pay for Fu Miaomiao's lunch today?"

As soon as Ming Tongchen heard the tone of Tianliang Wangpo, he knew that he was in trouble, and quickly said that he was not on the same page as this brainless assistant.

He glanced at Meng Yiran with a half-smile, "Secretary Meng hasn't had the good fortune to treat Miss Fu to a meal yet. I'll definitely pay for lunch today."

Jiang Qingyan was too lazy to argue with Meng Yiran anymore. Since he had already spoken, Ming Tongchen knew his attitude.

He pulled Fu Miaoxi out from behind him and walked slowly with her outside. As they walked, he asked, "Fu Miaomiao, are you used to French food? Or would you rather have Chinese food for lunch?"

Being completely ignored, Meng Yiran's face turned pale and blue. She felt that Fu Miaoxi, with her naive appearance, would definitely not be able to handle French cuisine, which had the most complicated dining etiquette procedures, so she specially booked a special seat at a top-notch restaurant.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyan didn't care at all whether Fu Miaoxi knew dining etiquette or not. He only cared about whether Fu Miaoxi could eat well.

She gritted her teeth and followed him, thinking that it would be best to embarrass Fu Miaoxi, the country bumpkin, during the meal.

But he was stopped by Ming Tongchen.

"Assistant Meng," Ming Tongchen always wore a smiling face, but even though he cursed her a hundred times in his heart, he still had to smile on the surface: "Go to the HR department this afternoon to collect your salary and leave."

Meng Yiran was stunned in place, and after reacting, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Ming, this job was found for me by my uncle!"

Uncle Meng Yiran is Ming Tongchen's business partner. With the mentality of marrying his niece off to a wealthy family, he tried every possible means to force Meng Yiran to be Ming Tongchen's secretary.

Ming Tongchen kept Meng Yiran by his side because she was pretty and capable.

Now, she is really good at handling things.

Jiang Qingyan, who always disdained verbal disputes, was also angered by Meng Yiran and spoke out.

Fu Miaoxi was a little confused.

She has never eaten authentic French food, having only seen it on TV and in books. If she has the chance to try it, she really doesn't want to miss it.

But she also knew that French dining etiquette was strict. She heard that there were more than a dozen pieces of tableware, and she was afraid that if she didn't know anything, she would ruin a table full of delicious food.

Jiang Qingyan saw that she didn't answer for a long time, so he squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry so much, just think about whether you like it or not."

"I want to give it a try," Fu Miaoxi still couldn't resist the temptation of the greedy bug, and then she acted a little cute: "If there is anything I don't understand, can you teach me, uncle?"

It's very strange. If someone tried to make Jiang Qingyan give in by flattering him, Jiang Qingyan would definitely sneer at this person's materialistic face.

But if the target is Fu Miaoxi, he only thinks that Fu Miaoxi is flexible and knows how to protect herself, which is very smart.

The so-called worldly-wise but unworldly, the dusty pearl he admired had gone through the trials and tribulations of life, but had never lost its inner luster.

"As long as you can eat well."

"I haven't asked you yet, what did you do this morning? Did you see anything you liked?"

"There's a pottery shop next door, and I made a vase there."

"Vase?" Jiang Qingyan saw that both she and Li Zhen were empty-handed. "Where's the stuff?"

Fu Miaoxi explained truthfully: "It still needs to be glazed. I told the potter there about my needs, and they will send it to the school after they have applied the glaze."

"At school?" Jiang Qingyan thought for a moment: "Why not at home?"

"There's no shortage of them in the mansion, right?" Fu Miaoxi blinked, feeling it was out of place to discuss something so full of life with Jiang Qingyan. "That's my material studies coursework."
