Chapter 21: The Strict Father and the Caring Mother

  Fu Yiyang originally had seven parts of the meaning, but now it has become twelve parts. He didn't care that the kang table was still on the bed, and he directly hugged Su Ying tightly and punished that naughty tongue tip thoroughly.

  He also grasped Su Ying's mischievous fingers in his large hand, and the slight coolness of her hands made Fu Ye Yang frown slightly. He simply gathered both of her hands together and held them in the warm palm of his hand, thereby extinguishing her intention to push him away.

  A teacup cover on the kang table shook off and rolled onto the carpet, a little maid outside heard the noise and wanted to come in to take a look, but was blocked by Lü Huai, who made a gesture with her eyes and retreated back to the outer room.

  Fu Yiyang pressed down on Su Ying, holding onto her delicate earlobe and nibbling it lightly. He lowered his voice and said, "Be honest, do you want the maid outside to hear the noise and come in?" His thoughts were mostly consumed by the exposed white nape of her neck, and his thick masculine breath sprayed onto that patch of pale skin. Then he saw that pale skin quickly turn pink, and he couldn't help but be aroused. His thumb rubbed against that spot, almost sticking to it.

  Su Ying glanced at him sideways, her fingers lightly hooked in his palm, and softly said: "Just had dinner, what's this like."

  This sounds depressing, but Fu Yeyang, the dignified and proper Master Fu, still maintained a few points of sobriety. He made a sound with his tongue, pulled Su Ying up to sit, and tidied up her slightly disheveled hair. He condescended to pick up the tea cup lid that had rolled onto the carpet, took a few deep breaths, and slowly extinguished the flames that had been ignited. Turning back to face Su Ying's watery eyes, which were half-lidded and gazing at him with a mixture of shyness and seductiveness, her eyelashes trembling like a feather brushing against his heart, his Adam's apple moved, and his dark eyes became even darker and more unfathomable. He said menacingly, "Just you wait and see how I'll deal with you later."

  Su Ying's face turned red, pretending to be shy and twisted her body, avoiding Fu Ye Yang's scorching gaze. She clutched the handkerchief tightly: "I'll go change my clothes, let someone else clean up this mess." After saying that, she got down from the bed, leaving the messy situation for Master to deal with.

  Su Ying turned back to glance at Fu Yeyang as she was about to enter, but unexpectedly met his teasing gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She glared at the calm and collected man with hatred in her eyes. Unfortunately, her face was like a peach blossom, radiant and glowing, so her glare had no intimidating effect whatsoever, and instead seemed like a flirtatious glance, which elicited a gentle laugh from the old master.

  Su Ying felt suppressed, but she couldn't really do anything to Fu Yiyang. If it were usual times, there would be no need for such hesitation, and they would have already been intimate. But now, maintaining a dignified demeanor had a certain charm to it.

  When the maids came in to clean up the kang table, Fu Yeyang was already able to freely take out a book. Lu Hui didn't notice that Su Ying had some doubts, but earlier that noise... The young maid who hadn't experienced anything couldn't help but blush and gave the other maids a signal with her eyes, quickly and neatly finished cleaning up and quietly retreated, closing the door behind them.

  After hearing the noise, Su Ying tidied up her clothes before walking out from behind the screen. As soon as she sat down beside the couch, Fu Ye Yang stared at her non-stop, making Su Ying feel uneasy under his gaze. But after what had just happened, it wouldn't be good to just sit there silently without saying a word, that would be too awkward. Thinking about the intense heat from earlier, when she spoke again, her tone was slightly more conciliatory: "Why don't I give you a head massage?"

  Fu Yiyang was taken aback for a moment, then lay down on Su Ying's thigh without hesitation.

  You're really not being polite at all, but this kind of behavior has never happened before, and the atmosphere is no longer stiff.

  Su Ying pressed Fu Yeyang's temple twice and asked him with her head down: "How is the force?"

  The old master didn't even look at the book anymore, closed his eyes and put the book back in its original place, let out a satisfied "mmm" as if answering Su Ying's question. Su Ying smiled lightly and her hands continued to move. She looked down at Fu Ye Yang who was still frowning slightly with his eyes closed, there was a deep crease between his eyebrows, which made him look even more serious and cold when he wasn't smiling, but he also had a calm and gentle side when he relaxed.

  Su Ying's hand smoothed out the wrinkles between his eyebrows, and the slightly cool sensation made Fu Yiyang half-open his eyes. She didn't feel embarrassed at all, but just smiled and said: "You're usually so majestic that people are intimidated by you. Now if you frown again, who knows, maybe you can even stop a child from crying."

  "Hmph! You're useless." Fu Yeyang's words left Su Ying stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant, and then she burst out laughing, "From now on, you're just a strict father!"

  Fu Yiyang's heart moved, and he hugged Su Ying around the waist, from now on, work hard to cultivate, strive to become a strict father as soon as possible.

  After working slowly and carefully at first, the sudden rain came, and after waiting for the rain to stop, the sky cleared up, which was a good time to nurture soldiers and sharpen their skills. After accumulating strength and waiting for the right moment to strike, with full spirit, Master again hugged Su Ying tightly and did it once more, only then did he stop.

  The next day, when the girls came in to clean up, they didn't dare to lift their heads, each with a red face.

  Su Yingqiang pretended to be calm, touched her earlobe, and when she found it, it was a plum blossom-shaped pendant that she had worn yesterday. She couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva. This old man didn't even know when he put it on her, and the other one didn't know where it went either! What kind of situation is this!

  Su Ying sat in front of the dressing mirror and found that Luhui and several maids had been wanting to speak but hesitated, their faces red, Su Ying couldn't help but notice.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Bai Zhi pushed the aloe vera and said, "Bai Zhi has just learned a new hairstyle, why don't you change to a new style too?"

  Su Ying noticed the hickey on her collarbone, and suddenly understood what Luhui and Bai Zhi meant. She coughed: "What are you waiting for? Come over and comb my hair!"

  Then put on a high-necked undershirt, and after tidying up neatly without missing a single spot, he walked out with a relaxed air.

  Fu Yeyang, sitting at the dining table in the outer hall, couldn't help but take a few more glances at the pink pearl earrings on Su Ying's earlobe. After staring for a while, he was given a stern look by Su Ying behind her back. However, Fu Yeyang didn't mind and instead smiled slightly, continuing to serve her food. This time, it was a piece of creamy puff pastry that had been served the night before, "This one isn't bad."

  This man, he's doing it on purpose! Su Ying frowned at him, his expression unchanged. When he saw that Su Ying had eaten the buttery croissant, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. As they prepared to leave, he held down Su Ying's hand as she tried to get up and patted her hand, clearing his throat: "No need to see me off."

  Su Ying came back to her senses and saw the comforting expression on Shanggui's face, as well as the encouraging appearance of Lu Hui and the others winking at each other, and couldn't help but cover her face, but no matter how she looked, the cold color couldn't hide the spring intention that leaked from the corners of her eyes.

  Su Ying turned her face away and didn't look at them, then drank another bowl of steaming green rice porridge made from glutinous rice, slowly suppressing the salty and greasy flavor from before.

  Fu's mother unexpectedly called her over again, and before Su Ying could speak, Fu's mother said: "I heard that Wei Niang had another outburst? You are the mistress of the house, how can you not control her? Fortunately, when Wei Niang made a scene, there were no outsiders in the mansion, it was all family members, so no one dared to say anything. Otherwise, this joke would have spread outside the mansion! Others don't care what kind of person Wei Niang is, at that time, not only will you, as the mistress of the house, lose face, but also your husband's reputation will be affected. What a mess!"

  Fu's mother scolded Su Ying ruthlessly, without showing any mercy. How did she know that Su Ying was the mistress of the house?! Su Ying narrowed her eyes, stood up from her seat with her head lowered and explained: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let this annoying thing disturb your peace and made you worry about it too. But it wasn't that serious, Wei's wife is also a hot-headed person, she just lost control for a moment and overstepped the bounds."

  "Old lady, you also know that Wei's family is in the mansion, and she has been growing up in the mansion since childhood. In the past, it was also taught by Old Lady You, so she won't be unaware of the rules of the mansion. Such a breach of etiquette will not happen again."

  Madam Chen, who was outside the curtain, heard Su Ying say this and felt disdain in her heart. She curled her lips and thought that her elder sister-in-law was too tolerant. If she could still make excuses for that sly woman, she would speak up: "Elder sister-in-law is indeed magnanimous, but Wei's mother is so arrogant and has no sense of propriety. How can we let her continue to be so reckless? Otherwise, it will become even more unseemly in the future!"

  Su Ying looked up at Fu Mu's stiff face and couldn't help but praise in her heart: This second brother and sister are really a divine assist!
