Chapter 152 The Art of Soothing Your Wife

My younger brother is getting married soon.

Anxi, dressed in a smart suit, sat on the sofa with a freshly opened bottle of red wine beside her. She had just won the auction this year. She poured herself a glass and sipped it slowly, not forgetting to show off her sister-in-law to her longtime business partner.

"Do you know Jin He? He's that big star, the one who's incredibly handsome. Oh my, you've never seen him like that before. I've never seen anyone that good-looking in all these years."

"Yes, your brother has a keen eye. He spotted the best-looking and most hardworking kid in their group at a glance. And you, Mr. An, are you thirty-four this year?" The man leaned against the pool table, his suit was impeccably tailored, and his tie was slightly loose. It seemed he had just come here with friends after get off work to play a game of pool for a while.

"So what?" Anxi leaned back on the sofa, swirling an expensive glass of red wine in her hand, and said leisurely, "Singleism, the joy of us single aristocrats is something you married men would never understand."

"Aren't your aunt and uncle pressuring you?"

“I used to be anxious when I was thirty, but now I’ve come to terms with it,” Anxi said.

Since President An had said so, the man couldn't say anything. But after a while, he heard his phone ring. He glanced at it, put down the pool cue, and said, "I'm done playing. I have an order."

"You're still driving for Didi?!"

“Yeah, right.” Fu Yanzhi said matter-of-factly, “It would be a waste not to drive so many cars out of the garage.”

Anxi: "..."

"What about the weekends? Doesn't he care about you at all? By the way, how's his illness? Is he having another attack?"

Fu Yanzhi put on his coat, and upon hearing this, he slightly raised his chin, revealing a smug expression: "Who do you think you are?"

Anxi: "..."

All right.

At this moment, Jin He and An Yi were standing at the hotel entrance, with a distance of 1.5 meters between them. This should be a normal social distance, but it was clearly not normal for the two of them.

Jin He crossed his arms and bent down to get into the car as soon as it stopped at the door. An Yi was about to get in after him when Jin He slammed the car door shut.

Hey!

An Yi walked around to the other side of the car door and got in.

The air conditioning in the car was on full blast. Once the passengers got in, the driver quietly turned up the temperature. The car started moving smoothly, and the cabin was completely isolated from the outside noise; only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

After a while, Jin He suddenly spoke up: "I really can't stand you anymore, I really can't live like this anymore!"

"What's wrong now?"

"What's wrong? What do you mean, what's wrong? You don't respect me at all. I prepared such a thoughtful gift for my aunt and uncle, and what kind of talk is that? What do you mean they don't lack anything? Do you think I have to go empty-handed for the first meeting?"

"Just because of that?"

“I know your family is rich, but I put a lot of thought into choosing those gifts. What do you mean by ‘they usually use big brands’? I don’t know what brands they usually use. You can just tell me directly.”

“I just think you’ve just returned to work, there’s no need to empty your wallet for a gift,” An Yi said. “Besides, I think my meaning is already very clear. My parents like you a lot, they don’t need you to buy anything, they don’t need to spend money at all, why do you have to spend it? You’ve been so anxious about picking out a gift that you haven’t slept for days, do you think I don’t know?”

"Can't you think about me for once? Can't I just leave without doing something when we first meet? First impressions are important. Do you think I, Jin He, am the kind of person who would lower myself to that level?"

"I didn't say you were losing face, and we'll be family from now on, so why are you being so polite?"

"You're such an idiot!"

Why are you cursing at me?

"I really can't live with you anymore, I'm moving out tomorrow!"

"Okay, go ahead and move it. I'll follow you wherever you move it!"

"You... driver, I need to change my route to Building 24, Rongguang New City!"

"Ah." Fu Yanzhi didn't look to the side. "I took this order because it's on my way home, and I'm going home anyway. If you want to change your route, can you cancel the order first? I won't charge you for this part of the journey."

He was fine when he didn't speak, but as soon as he made a sound, An Yi noticed it immediately. He leaned half his face out of the front seat in disbelief and saw Fu Yanzhi looking straight ahead with both hands on the steering wheel, as if he hadn't heard the argument between the two of them at all.

An Yi was almost petrified when he saw him: "Brother Fu... Brother Fu..."

"Hmm? You two know each other?" Jin He's expression softened. After all, he couldn't argue in front of acquaintances; he still had to give An Yi face in public. So he smiled and said, "And this is..."

“He’s my sister’s business partner, Brother Zhou’s lover, and the older brother of your agent,” An Yi said.

"Ah, Mr. Fu," Jin He said with a smile, "It's really the first time we've met, but I've heard Brother Zhou mention you several times before. I'm so sorry to have troubled you since this is our first meeting."

"It's okay, I understand."

The three of them tacitly avoided mentioning the fact that the chairman of the prestigious Fu Group was driving for Didi, and Jin He also stopped arguing with An Yi.

"So, are you still going to change your route?"

"No, no." An Yi quickly shook his head.

Fu Yanzhi didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and continued to concentrate on driving.

When the car stopped in front of their house, Jin He opened the car door and stormed into the room. An Yi followed behind, packed his backpack, and played for a while before Fu Yanzhi called him back.

"Your sister said you two are getting married soon."

"Yes, I'm meeting your parents tomorrow."

"Want to start arguing now?"

Hearing this, An Yi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Well, we both have the same temper, as you know, we make up in less than five minutes after an argument."

“But sometimes you can’t just say things carelessly, and you can’t just argue carelessly. Some words can hurt people once they’re out of your mouth,” Fu Yanzhi said. “Once words are spoken, they can’t be taken back.”

An Yi lowered his head and remained silent.

Fu Yanzhi glanced at him, then dialed the number listed as her first contact, and her voice came through the car's Bluetooth.

"Hello?" Weekend's voice rang out, "Why aren't you home yet? The food's getting a bit cold."

"I'll get it right away, Momo. After you hang up the phone, count to twenty."

"Oh, okay then, I'll heat it up for you now."

"By the way, Momo, there's something I need to tell you."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Isn't Mom's birthday in a couple of days? Weren't you planning to get her that limited edition bag?"

"Yes, I've already contacted the person, and the sales assistant said she'll get the goods for me as soon as possible."

"Oh, that's really unfortunate." Fu Yanzhi's tone was full of regret. "I heard today that Mom has already ordered that bag from the boutique. It seems you're going to miss out."

"Oh? What should we do then?"

"Hmm... how about this, Momo, didn't you recently learn how to make rose essential oil? The roses on our farm are blooming, so why don't you make some rose essential oil yourself and give it to Mom? After all, even the most expensive gift can't compare to the sentiment behind something you made yourself. Mom will definitely be very happy."

"Oh well."

"I took the day off tomorrow, how about I go with you?" Fu Yanzhi said. "It might be a little troublesome, but it's definitely easier for two people to do it than one person."

"OK!"

The call ended with Zhou Mo sounding cheerful, and it was clear that Zhou Mo wasn't angry at all; in fact, he was quite looking forward to tomorrow's plans. An Yi listened, completely speechless.

Is it really that amazing?!

"But...but..." An Yi leaned closer, his eyes full of curiosity, "How did you manage to win him over so well?"
