Happy Divorce Chapter 4 (Part 3)
But what could he do? Who told him that Yan Feixi was a great benefactor to the Tang family? He could only endure the pain.
After receiving Tang Yinfeng’s assurance, Su Manlu felt relieved. “Alright, I can share 40% of the surplus from the Fragrant Powder Shop with the Tang family. Is this the only condition?”
“No, there is more.” Yan Feixi said, a glimmer of light flashed across his tea eyes, vaguely showing ill intentions, but when Su Manlu turned to look at him, the strangeness in his eyes quickly disappeared.
“What other conditions are there?”
Yan Feixi raised his lips, straightened up, left the wooden door he was leaning on, walked towards her, and stopped when he was one step away from her.
Su Manlu frowned. The two of them were too close.
She was about to step back, but he suddenly picked up a strand of fine black hair on her chest. She was stunned. When she was about to slap his hand away——
“Manlu.” His deep and gentle voice stunned her.
This was the first time he called her that. This was something she wanted but couldn’t get in the past, but now she heard it with her ears, and couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart.
Yan Feixi leaned forward slightly and stroked her soft, fine black hair with his fingertips. The close distance allowed him to smell the faint fragrance of her body, not the fragrance of powder, but the scent of elegant flowers.
Yan Feixi found that he liked this fragrance. He even wanted to bury it in her neck and smell her fragrant softness. This sudden desire made him slightly surprised.
“Yan Feixi, what are you doing?!” Su Manlu returned to her senses and found that he was so close to her. She hurriedly pushed him away, took back the hair in his hand, and glared at him with beautiful eyes.
There was panic in her heart——just now, his lips brushed against her cheek.
Yan Feixi’s lips still remembered the soft and fragrant touch, which made him unsatisfied. He raised his thin lips, and faced her glare, he smiled evilly and charmingly.
“The last condition is that you must go to the Northeast with me.”
Anyway, you have to go to the Northeast to check out the Fragrant Powder Shop, and you also have to explore the spice cultivation methods and land——since we are all going to the Northeast, why not go together?
This was Yan Feixi’s statement, but Su Manlu cannot refute it.
She really had to see how the fragrant powder shop was located. Once it opened, she had to stay in the Northeast for at least three months and personally manage it until the shop was stable. Besides, she was very interested in the methods of growing spices, and the land... If possible, she would also like to study the soil quality for growing spices to see if spices could be grown in the south.
Once the cooperation with the Tang family was confirmed, she planned to go to the Northeast for a few months. As for the business in the South, she didn’t have to worry about it since her father was here.
But she never thought about going with Yan Feixi.
When she heard Yan Feixi’s proposal, she wanted to refuse, but Yan Feixi blocked her with what he said above. And this was one of the conditions. If she refused, the benefits provided by the Tang family would be gone entirely. How could she be willing to give up?
Therefore, Su Manlu agreed without thinking for too long.
The next ones to convince were her father and Aunt Lian. Although the two elders were still in the neighboring city, Su Manlu knew her father had sent many people around her.
If nothing unexpected happened, someone would have already gone to the neighboring city to inform her father and Aunt Lian the moment Yan Feixi came to the door.
Sure enough, Father Su returned to the Su Mansion in the evening, and his face was ugly, even Aunt Lian had a calm and beautiful face.
As soon as she entered the hall and saw the faces of the two elders, Su Manlu couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, knowing that this was not easy.
“Father, Aunt Lian, why did you come back early?”
Father Su looked at his daughter. He was in his late 50s but seemed to be in his early 40s. He had a typical Southern appearance and a refined demeanor, resembling a scholar. It was hard to tell that he was a merchant, but his sharp, spirited eyes were fierce. At this moment, his fierce gaze was filled with anger.
However, in the face of his beloved daughter, Father Su certainly couldn’t bear to be angry, but he was still angry——of course, this anger was not directed at his daughter.
“Do you think I don’t know about the Yan family boy?” If someone hadn’t informed him, his daughter would definitely not have told him.
Thinking of this, Father Su became furious.
“Manlu, don’t tell your father you still treat that boy...”
“Father.” Su Manlu’s face darkened.
When his daughter got angry, Father Su softened. He quickly stood up and coaxed his daughter, “Manlu, don’t be angry with your father. Father didn’t mean it...”
Aunt Lian, who was sitting aside, couldn’t help but shake her head. She was used to her husband’s behavior. On the way back, he also said he wanted to question his daughter, but he had better give up. When his daughter was angry, he was too frightened to ask anything.
“Father, I’m not angry.” Su Manlu looked at her father helplessly, “It’s just that things are not what you think.”
“Not what I think?” Father Su frowned but didn’t dare to sound fierce, fearing his daughter would be unhappy. “Otherwise, why did that brat come to Nanxi City? He even came to our house! Tell me, how many times have you seen him? By the way, which place in the city is he staying in now?”
Su Manlu had no time to respond to a series of questions. She could only answer her father’s last question, “He stays in Taozhen Tower.”
“What?” Father Su roared and jumped in anger. “What courage! How dare he stay in the teahouse owned by the Su family? Lao Wang, Lao Wang!” He called the steward. “Go and notify Lao Liu and ask him to drive that Yan guy out of the tower——no, drive him out of Nanxi City. It’s best to beat him up. Even if he’s beaten to death...”
“Father!”
“Okay, okay, Manlu, don’t be angry. Father won’t find someone to beat that brat...”
Aunt Lian couldn’t listen anymore. She pulled away from her husband and asked her stepdaughter directly, “Manlu, when did you meet him? Also, what was he doing at our house? Tell everything, and don’t hide anything.” Aunt Lian was naturally angry when she heard Yan Feixi had come to her house. No matter what that boy from the Yan family did, he shouldn’t have appeared in front of Manlu.
