Even after she spat it out, the sour taste was still lingering in her mouth, and she was trembling.

  She quickly took out a tissue to wipe the water stains at the corner of her mouth and looked at the Anji white tea in her hand.

  If Fu Tingyu was not there, Xu Wei would have cursed and disregarded her image. How could she give her such sour tea?

  Qin Shu almost burst out laughing when Xu Wei spat out the tea, but she held back.

  She filled her eyes with innocence, “I warned you before. I am not good at making tea. I make this tea for you because you are a guest. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have such privilege.”


  Xu Wei felt that this woman was using her relationship with Fu Tingyu to show off in front of her.

  However she was still young, so she didn’t know that men hated this kind of woman the most.

  Fu Tingyu would get angry.

  Fu Tingyu raised his head and looked at the girl. Anger flashed in his dark eyes. “Come here.”


  The man’s voice was deep, but it could be heard that he was angry.

  Xu Wei was very happy in her heart. When she looked at the woman, she glanced at her with disdain. This is what a petty person will get when they show off.

  Qin Shu glanced at Xu Wei. The pride in her eyes was obvious. She ignored it and walked toward the man.

  Xu Wei walked to the coffee table and placed her glass on it. She glanced at the lemon slices in another glass on the coffee table. No wonder the Anji white tea was so sour. It was made with lemonade.

  Xu Wei gritted her teeth in anger.

  Where did this village girl come from?

  How can she use lemonade to make tea?

  Qin Shu stood in front of the man and looked down at him. She could only see his side profile from this angle. The outline of his face was very clear. He has a high nose bridge and tightly pursed lips.

  Fu Tingyu put down the pen in his hand and tipped his feet. He turned the chair and faced her. “Give me your hand.”


  Qin Shu glanced at the man in confusion. She extended both of her hands and showed him with her palms facing up.

  What’s so nice about my hands?

  Fu Tingyu lowered his eyes and reached out to hold the girl’s hands. While checking whether her fingertips were red, he asked in a deep voice, “Did you burn your hand from making tea?”


  “It’s okay.” Only then Qin Shu understood that the man wanted to see if her hands were scalded.

  Xu Wei, who had just stood up straight, heard Fu Tingyu’s question, and she was stunned. She couldn’t believe her ears. Did he ask that woman if her hand was burnt from making tea?

  After examining her hand, he looked up at Qin Shu, “You have to remember your identity. You are not the one who needs to make the tea and serve the water. Do you get what I am saying?”


  The man deliberately emphasized this sentence. Not only did he want Qin Shu to hear it, but he also wanted Xu Wei to hear it. He was fond of her and she was not serving anyone here.

  Qin Shu nodded vigorously. “Yes, I heard it.”


  Xu Wei, who was walking over, stopped in her tracks. Why did this sentence sound a little off?

  He wanted Qin Shu to remember her identity. What identity?

  Now Fu Tingyu had indulged a woman who was showing off their relationship and he even encouraged her to do that?

  Now she understood. Others always said that when a woman was new to a man, he would dote on her in all sorts of ways.

  Once that feeling is over, she would be nothing more than a passerby.

  Xu Wei gritted her teeth and walked to her desk. She looked at Fu Tingyu, trying to cover up her loss of composure.

  “I was thirsty just now, so I didn’t know that her tea-making skills were so bad. She even used lemonade to make Anji white tea. No wonder it was so sour. I couldn’t take in something sour, that is why I lost my composure.”


  Xu Wei purposely mentioned that she used lemonade to make tea. It also showed that there is a reason for her to lose composure.

  Fu Tingyu turned his head to look at Xu Wei. There was no emotion in his eyes. His voice was very cold. “It is me who asked her to make tea like this.”


  Qin Shu glanced at the man. He was the only one who could speak out of conscience.

  He was so afraid of sourness, yet he had said that he wanted her to make tea like this.

  Qin Shu chuckled.

  Xu Wei, who was standing at the back, couldn’t see her expression. The only person she could see was Fu Tingyu.

  Xu Wei was stunned when she saw that Fu Tingyu said it as a matter of course. It didn’t seem like he was lying at all.

  Who was Fu Tingyu?

  He was born into a wealthy family and was the head of the family. Naturally, he would be very particular about drinking tea.

  Did he ask people to use lemonade to make tea?

  This was even worse than dark cuisine.

  But she can’t confront him now.

  What she could do was smile, “So you like to drink tea that has a sour taste. It’s me who was overreacting. Other than being sour, that tea was pretty good.”


  Fu Tingyu’s voice was cold. “It was indeed pretty good. Others who wanted to drink the tea she brewed will not have the luck to do so.”


  Xu Wei’s face changed. She felt that Fu Tingyu’s words were hinting to her that Xu Wei didn’t know what was good for her and was not grateful.

  However, when she saw Fu Tingyu’s handsome and cold face, it just didn’t seem like that.

  Xu Wei smiled and did not dare to continue speaking. She glanced at the woman standing in front of Fu Tingyu, thinking that once she is no longer new to him, she will be nothing.

  Wasn’t there another example like Qin Shu in Sheng Yuan?

  Qin Shu returned to the desk and sat down. Initially, she planned to go downstairs and prepare a summary of the documents she had read.

  However, Xu Wei was staying there in the room. She couldn’t let Xu Wei and the man stay in the same office alone.

  Fu Tingyu glanced at the girl across from him. He continued to read the documents on the desk, seeing her who was sitting opposite of him obediently. He lifted the pen with his fingers, drew circles, and wrote down some notes.

  Xu Wei stood in the same place between the desk and the glass coffee table. It was a little awkward, but in the end, she decided to walk to the desk and wait while she read.

  She wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Fu Tingyu, but she was interrupted by a woman who suddenly appeared.

  She missed a chance.

  When she went back, she would find a chance to tell Grandma that Qin Shu will never be the only choice for Fu Tingyu.

  Just when Xu Wei was thinking about it, Fu Tingyu took the pen sleeve and put it on the pen. Then, he picked up the file in front of him and placed it on the corner of the table. He looked up at Xu Wei, his voice was cold and emotionless. “I’ve marked it. It’s all written on it.”


  “Okay, sorry for disturbing you. I’ll be leaving now.”


  Xu Wei picked up the file on the corner of the table and thanked him politely before leaving.

  Once she turned around, her face changed. She had plenty of chances, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

  Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief after Xu Wei left. She could go back to work now.

  It should be working time now.

  In fact, she didn’t think much of Xu Wei. She just couldn’t stand the fact that she always used his grandmother as an excuse to get close to Fu Tingyu.

  “You may continue to work, I will go down and prepare a summary.”
