Chapter 307 Did He Feed You?
Lin Xiaoyue sees the smile in Fu Zhengzheng’s eyes and realizes she went too far. She pauses instantly and changes the topic with a flush, “Sister Zhengzheng, I come to see you for help actually.”

Fu Zhengzheng asks at once, “What can I do for you?”

Lin Xiaoyue becomes shy, “I’m afraid that you’ll laugh at me.”

Fu Zhengzheng teases, “When you talked so straight just now, you were not afraid to be laughed at. But Now you become afraid.”

A flush spreads till Lin Xiaoyue’s neck, and she becomes shyer.

Fu Zhengzheng holds her and laughs, “Well, I was joking with you. Tell me. What is it?”

“I want to propose to Yang Tao.”

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng is nearly choked by her own saliva, “You propose to Yang Tao? Is the order reversed? Proposal is usually done by a man, right?”

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flash and she looks a little depressed, “Although Yang Tao has bared his heart and is nice to me, I don’t know when he will propose to me according to his personality. Sister Zhengzheng, I am nervous and worried about losing him sometimes. As far as I know, several female colleagues in the police office love him.”

Fu Zhengzheng asks, “Are you not confident about yourself or Yang Tao?”

“I don’t know. I don’t have the sense of security somehow.”

Fu Zhengzheng takes Lin Xiaoyue’s hands and comforts her with sympathy, “Silly Xiaoyue, please believe Yang Tao is a very responsible man. Now that he has chosen you, he won’t give up easily.”

“I know, but I want to reassure myself. Sister Zhengzheng, I think I can take the first step now that he is not active. Anyway, I’m more active in the relationship with him. It doesn’t matter to be more active.” Lin Xiaoyue’s shy face is written with firmness.

Fu Zhengzheng always considered Lin Xiaoyue shy and introverted and has never thought she would also be so heroic. Fu Zhengzheng feels respect for her and says seriously, “How can I help you?”

Then Lin Xiaoyue becomes shy again. She wrings her fingers and shakes her head, “I don’t know how to do actually.”

Fu Zhengzheng thinks and says, “How about giving me some time to think about it?”

Lin Xiaoyue looks at Fu Zhengzheng expectantly. After she sees Fu Zhengzheng nod seriously, she becomes excited, takes out a box from her pocket, opens it carefully and shows it to Fu Zhengzheng.

Fu Zhengzheng sees a pair of couple rings and feels surprised, “You have prepared them?”

Lin Xiaoyue lowers her head and nods slightly.

“There will be a dinner party this evening. I think this evening is better than anytime else.”

Fu Zhengzheng has no idea of it, “Dinner party? Who?”

“Yang Tao, He Menghuai, Ji Muxian, you, Sun Qiubo, Tian Xin and me. To celebrate the opening of your restaurant and taste its food. It’s decided the other day. Didn’t you know it?”

“No one told me.”

“Is the activity cancelled?” Lin Xiaoyue looks at the couple rings with disappointment.

“Let me ask.” Fu Zhengzheng calls Sun Qiubo.

“I planned to tell you last night, but the QQ chat incident happened later. I guess Tian won’t become cheerful within a short time so we can’t have dinner as scheduled. You can ask her, OK?” Sun Qiubo says.

“Tian bickered with Muxian last night and is still angry. She might be in no mood for dinner.” Fu Zhengzheng shows her phone and explains it to Lin Xiaoyue.

“Oh, then forget it.” Lin Xiaoyue forces a smile.

Fu Zhengzheng comforts her, “It’s too rushed today. Engagement is important. I’ll appoint a proper time for you.”

Lin Xiaoyue puts away the box with the couple rings, has a small talk and then leaves.

After seeing Lin Xiaoyue off, Fu Zhengzheng meditates for a long time and decides to call Yang Tao to tell him.

Hearing that, Yang Tao doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

“Xiaoyue loves you sincerely, Yang Tao.”

“I know. Actually, I have prepared to give her a surprise this evening. I didn’t expect she would be so impatient.”

“This evening? Will we have the dinner party as scheduled?”

“Is it cancelled?” It’s Yang Tao’s turn to feel surprised.

“Tian and Muxian…” Fu Zhengzheng swallows the words on the tip of her tongue and says, “It isn’t. I’ll ask about it. Prepare your surprise for Xiaoyue.”

After putting down the phone, Fu Zhengzheng changes her clothes and then walks to Tian Xin and Ji Muxian’s residence.

Tian Xin and Ji Muxian still live in the housekeeping department of Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort. Although Ji Yashu has asked them to move back for several times, Ji Muxian thinks the big house is noisy, so Ji Yashu doesn’t force them. A new house has been prepared for them in Handa City. After they get married, they can move there.

When Fu Zhengzheng arrives at Tian Xin’s residence, Ji Muxian and Tian Xin are having lunch in the room.

Tian Xin isn’t surprised to see Fu Zhengzheng. She offers Fu Zhengzheng a seat while continuing to have lunch.

Fu Zhengzheng looks at the watch. It’s already past 2,00. She asks tentatively, “You have lunch so late. Won’t you have dinner?”

“I will have dinner of course. Then I can eat less now.” Then Tian Xin puts down her bowl with half-bowl rice left.

Ji Muxian picks up the bowl and gives it to her immediately, “You didn’t have breakfast. It’s a combination of breakfast and lunch. You only ate a little. It’s not enough.”

But Tian Xin doesn’t take the bowl, “How much I eat is none of your business.”

Hearing this tone, Fu Zhengzheng knows Tian Xin hasn’t cooled down, so she hurries to mediate smilingly, “Muxian is showing his care for you. Look, you are skinny and need to eat more.”

Tian Xin responds sourly, “Am I skinny? You are not better than me.”

Fu Zhengzheng smiles, “So each time Siqi tells me to eat more, I will listen to him.”

Tian Xin turns her face away, “I won’t.”

Ji Muxian’s face darkens. He puts the bowl down.

Seeing him put down the bowl, Tian Xin looks sullen too.

Fu Zhengzheng thinks it’s not the proper time for her to come here. Without mediating between them, she intends to leave with an excuse, “I’ll call Qiubo. Enjoy yourselves. I’ll enter again later.”

Then she steps out quickly and closes the door behind her.

After walking around for about twenty minutes, she comes back to Tian Xin’s room. Ji Muxian is tidying the leftover on the table while Tian Xin is drinking tea leisurely on the sofa.

Seeing the two bowls on the table are both empty, Fu Zhengzheng praises herself secretly that it’s smart for her to leave. She sits next to Tian Xin and asks under her breath, “How did Muxian persuade you to finish it?”

Tian Xin glances at Ji Muxian who goes out of the room with the salver and snorts, “He fed me.”

“Did Muxian feed you? He is really nice to you.” Fu Zhengzheng can’t imagine the scene that Ji Muxian fed Tian Xin.

“He has a guilty conscience.”

For fear that Tian Xin will become angry again, Fu Zhengzheng interrupts her instantly, “Come on. He only chatted with a stranger and didn’t do anything immoral. Besides, he has admitted his mistake. But you still bear it in your mind. Won’t you let it go?”

“I won’t. That’s because he didn’t admit his mistake and scolded me in the beginning. If I don’t teach him a lesson, he will think I am as weak as tofu.”

“I think Muxian is like tofu.”

Tian Xin glares, “Fu Zhengzheng, are you my bosom friend? You always help an outsider! I have forgiven your secret information to him. What else do you want?”

“No wonder an old saying goes, ‘If there is no grievance in the world, there will be no criminals in prison. I think Muxian and I are both wronged.”

“If you were not my most trusted friend, I would doubt if you had a special relationship with Ji Muxian, because you defend him so much.”

Fu Zhengzheng is frightened to wave quickly, “Don’t talk nonsense. You are my bosom friend, and Muxian is my teammate! I just analyze the problem from a just and fair perspective.”

Tian Xin laughs, “It was only a joke. Why are you so nervous? It seems that you have a guilty conscience.”

“I don’t think it’s funny at all.” Fu Zhengzheng pretends to be angry, “I hope it’s over. According to Muxian’s temper, it’s already uncommon for him to obedient to you in this way. It proves how important you are in his heart. So you should let it go at that, or things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Understand?”

“Oh, please. I don’t make you responsible for it, but you come to teach me.” Tian Xin waves impatiently and snorts, “Do you come to see if I have cooled down?”

“I come to ask you if the dinner party will be cancelled this evening.”

“Why to cancel it?”

“Qiubo said you might be in no mood.” Fu Zhengzheng says on purpose.

“Why am I in no mood? I’m cheerful now.” Tian Xin puts down the cup, “I’ll go to the restaurant now.”

“Will Muxian go there too this evening?”

“Yes.”

“Great.” Fu Zhengzheng is glad in the heart, “Then I’ll go back to prepare for it.”

“Prepare what?”

“Change my clothes.”

Then Fu Zhengzheng stands up and walks outside. When walking to the small garden, she calls Yang Tao and tells him the dinner party will be given as scheduled this evening. After putting down the phone, she wants to call Lin Xiaoyue, but guessing Yang Tao will call her, she gives up finally.

Back to the room, she watches TV for a while. When it’s about 5,00, she primps, walks out of the house, takes a taxi and comes to the Central Street in Handa City.

When she arrives at the Central Street, the lights have been on. The Central Street under the colorful lights is bustling.

Fu Zhengzheng comes to the restaurant, raises her head again and sees the name that Han Tengyue wrote. She can’t help admiring the magnificent handwriting.

The restaurant is full of guests.

But as soon as she enters, a ceremonial usherette, who knows her, ushers her into a private room.

Yang Tao, Lin Xiaoyue, Sun Qiubo and He Menghuai have arrived and are talking in the private room.

Sun Qiubo sees her first, raises her phone at once and shouts, “Zhengzheng, you are here. I am about to call you and ask if you need picking up.”

Fu Zhengzheng says deliberately, “It sounds more beautiful than a song. My foot hurts. Siqi isn’t at home. Do you think whether I need picking up or not?”

Hearing that, Lin Xiaoyue rises quickly and explains embarrassedly, “Sister Zhengzheng, sorry. Yang Tao and I were stuck in a traffic jam and thought you would come first, so …”

“Well, I don’t mean you.” Fu Zhengzheng presses Lin Xiaoyue down and glances at Sun Qiubo.

He Menghuai defends Sun Qiubo at once, “My car is under maintenance. Qiubo went to pick me up.”

“Give priority to your boyfriend instead of your bosom friend. Well, I can understand.” Fu Zhengzheng says directly.

“I can drive you back and sleep in your room tonight.” Sun Qiubo grins.

“I’ll go back by Tian’s car. Look for another place to pass the night.”

While she is talking, the door of the private room is opened again. Tian Xin enters with a sullen face.
