Chapter 7 Held Her Hand

"Why, why is it like this?"

She looked towards the man, "Mr. Fu, if you're really afraid that I'll tattle on you, you shouldn't be so domineering and unapproachable."

Fu Chenlie's gaze instantly became sinister.

He stepped closer to her, and even the air around became tainted with a dangerous aura, "Say that again?"

Wen Ran trembled, "I... I understand, I won't speak ill of you."

"Not a word about sleeping in separate rooms."

"Okay."

"No staying out late at night."

"Oh."

Was this ever going to end?

Besides, it was his fault she hadn't come home last night, wasn't it?!

Wen Ran realized that Fu Chenlie was very cautious of Grandma. He needed to play the role of a good husband in front of her and needed her cooperation. Yet, he commanded her with the attitude of someone superior, not a friendly negotiation.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she lifted her foot, intending to enter the Fu Residence.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed.

Wen Ran turned around in surprise and discovered that Fu Chenlie had...

Taken her hand!

This was the first time she had held hands with a man!

Fu Chenlie's broad, rough palm was warm, and that warmth spread crazily across the back of her hand to her heart, stirring ripples of emotion.

She stared at him, astonished, and even her speech faltered, "What... what are you doing?"

"Acting, get it?" His steady yet cold voice was like a bucket of cold water pouring over her head.

Wen Ran regained her composure and replied with equal indifference, "I see, you could have said so earlier."

Although Fu Chenlie was holding her hand, his stride was so large that he didn't at all consider that she was shorter than him, with shorter legs and smaller steps.

She had to jog to keep up with his pace.

The Fu family's old mansion covered 2,000 square meters, with comprehensive facilities, including a private garden, and nearly 50 square meters of green space, because Mrs. Fu had once mentioned loving to live in a pleasant environment.

Even with Fu Chenlie's quick strides, it took them ten minutes to reach the main living room.

When Wen Ran entered, several pairs of eyes in the spacious and brightly lit living room swept over her, sending a shiver down her spine.

So many people!

Mrs. Fu smiled meaningfully when she saw her holding hands with Fu Chenlie.

Her friend boasted, "I told you so, Ranran is a good girl, Ah Lie is sure to like her. Look, they just registered their marriage yesterday, and they are holding hands today."

"You're lucky," Madam Lu said. "My grandson is still single to this day, always fooling around outside."

Granny Wang chimed in, "Young love is heating up so fast, perhaps in a few months, there'll be a child too."

Mrs. Fu couldn't stop smiling, "If that's the case, that would be wonderful."

Turning to Wen Ran, she beckoned, "Ranran, come here, let me introduce you, this is Granny Lu, this is Granny Wang, they have been friends of mine for decades, just like family."

Wen Ran greeted them politely, "Hello Granny Lu, hello Granny Wang."

"And this is your aunt, this is your second uncle and second aunt..."

Wen Ran greeted each in turn, "Hello Aunt, hello Second Uncle, hello Second Aunt."

"This is your sister Fu Tianxin, this is your second uncle's daughter, also your sister, Fu Jiayue. Ah Lie's parents are abroad and won't be back for some time, so you can't meet them just yet."

"Hello Tianxin, hello Jiayue..."

Aunt Fu Junyu observed her, "Mom, the wife you found for Ah Lie is quite pretty, really beautiful."

"It's not just her looks that are good. In time, you'll all find out and like her."

Second Aunt Chen Ru smiled, "Mom, whether we like her or not isn't important; what matters is whether Ah Lie likes her. Wasn't he still looking for Jiang Wan Ning just a while ago? How come he married so quickly?"
