Chapter 566: 566, did you upset your girlfriend?
Where is the sunlight?
This Huo Nuanyang is clearly a big block of ice!
She puckered her lips, “Huo Nuanyang, don’t you dare tell Su Wanwan what I told you yesterday.”
Huo Nuanyang remained silent again.
Fu Qi was so frustrated she could hardly stand it, but all she could do was continue, “If you dare to blabber, I won’t let you off lightly!”
“Huh.” Huo Nuanyang finally let out a sound.
Yet, was it…
Laughter?
Fu Qi couldn’t quite believe it and quickly looked at him.
The man’s profile looked rigid and expressionless.
As if that laughter hadn’t come from him just now.
Could she have heard wrong?
She clenched her tiny fists, “Huo Nuanyang, you…”
“Silence,” Huo Nuanyang suddenly interjected.
Fu Qi was taken aback.
Immediately after, Huo Nuanyang tuned in the frequency to a music station.
Soon, the rock music of The Beatles began to play.
Fu Qi: “…”
Asking her to be quiet while playing rock music, what was the logic?
**
Compared to the awkward atmosphere here, the car next door was evidently much more harmonious.
After Huo Jingshen put on the music, Su Wanwan sang along all the way, until Fu Ziyang’s voice sounded, “Aunt Wanwan, could you do me a favor?”
“What’s up, Ziyang?”
Fu Ziyang twisted his cute little face, “I can’t reach Little Luoluo.”
“Huh?”
“She’s not picking up my calls, nor answering my voice messages.”
“Then, you should try sending her a red envelope.” Su Wanwan offered a cheeky suggestion.
Huo Jingshen gave her a sideways glare.
Fu Ziyang seriously replied, “I did, she accepted it.”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but chuckle, “Ziyang, did you upset your little girlfriend?”
“No.”
On this point, Fu Ziyang could guarantee.
Hence, Su Wanwan took out her cellphone, “Don’t worry, I’ll ask Huanhuan.”
“Okay.” Fu Ziyang finally looked a bit happier.
Su Wanwan dialed Shi Huan’s phone. It was promptly picked up.
“Huanhuan, what’re you doing?”
Shi Huan replied, “I’m cleaning.”
“What?! You’re cleaning?” Su Wanwan sounded shocked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Isn’t today a day when it’s not allowed to clean?”
In Nancheng, there was an old tradition where people did not clean their homes on New Year’s Day as it was believed to sweep out prosperity and bring financial loss for the coming year.
It was also said that whatever one did on this day, one would repeat it repeatedly in the coming year.
Therefore, no one should be scolded on New Year’s Day and everyone should only say nice things.
In any case, there were many such old customs. Su Wanwan only remembered getting scolded badly when she swore on New Year’s Day as a child.
Shi Huan laughed, “It’s okay, I don’t believe in these superstitions.”
“Alright then.” Su Wanwan quickly asked, “Is Luoluo with you?”
“No.”
“Then, where is she? Ziyang said he wanted to send a red (money) envelope to her, but can’t find her.” Su Wanwan offered a very legitimate excuse.
“Oh, her phone might have been confiscated. I couldn’t get in touch with her as well. Auntie doesn’t like kids using phones.”
“Okay, then. Happy New Year, Huanhuan.”
“Happy New Year.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan said, “Ziyang, Little Luoluo is fine. Her mom just doesn’t allow her to use her phone.”
“Alright then.”
Fu Ziyang thought, Luoluo’s mom doesn’t allow her to use her phone but she could receive money from him.
Little Luoluo’s mom is somewhat hard to fathom.

Soon, the two cars arrived at the mall one after the other.
Nowadays during New Year’s Day, all the shops in Nancheng are open for business. Various entertainment venues, snack bars and such were bustling with people.
Having finished the call, everyone from the two cars gathered and took the elevator directly to the boutique upstairs.
In accordance to the old lady’s instructions, they went straight to the women’s clothing department.
Fu Qi didn’t want to buy clothes. She mainly didn’t feel like shopping for clothes. However, within the hour, she saw Su Wanwan tirelessly trying on piece after piece.
The more Su Wanwan tried on clothes, the more irritable Fu Qi became.
Why was she trying on so many clothes? It was as if she had never worn new clothes before.
Bumpkin!
“Honey, do you think this looks good?” Su Wanwan came out in a blue trench coat and twirled in front of the mirror.
“It’s good-looking.” Huo Jingshen didn’t hesitate in his compliment.
His darling looked good in anything, and looked the best without wearing anything at all!
Su Wanwan glanced at Fu Qi. “Miss Fu, aren’t you going to try any clothes on?”
“I won’t be trying anymore.” Fu Qi replied coldly.
Su Wanwan laughed. “Oh, right. After all, these are all new spring collections. Miss Fu might not be planning to stay in Nancheng that long.”
Fu Qi: “…”
This was infuriating!
Why did Su Wanwan always manage to make her angry in just a few words?!
Moreover, Su Wanwan was wearing a black base shirt with a V-neck line under her coat, revealing her neck and collarbones. She had accidentally revealed a bright red mark while changing.
Seeing this, Fu Qi thought about the strange sounds she had heard last night. She felt a sting in her eyes and her face even turned red.
She spun around abruptly.
No more!
Su Wanwan was utterly baffled.
What was Fu Qi again up to?
Why was her face so red?
What was she thinking?
Turning, she checked herself in the mirror and noticed the mark on her collarbone…
Ahem.
Su Wanwan quickly pulled up her cloth, before looking at Fu Qi again.
This girl was way too shy, wasn’t she?
Just seeing this made her face turn that red?
What she didn’t know was that Fu Qi heard every sound she made last night very clearly…
**
After that,
Su Wanwan continued to try on many more outfits.
In reality, she was quite tired herself. If not for provoking Fu Qi and making her face reality, Su Wanwan wouldn’t be exhausting herself like this, you know?
