Chapter 148.1 – Meeting
After successfully meeting with Zheng Jun Qi – the current head of the Zheng family – at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the other day, Fu Yi then made an appointment with her to discuss the textile machines.
The Zheng family was not the largest textile machine production workshop in Jun Zi City. Compared to all the big-name businessmen in the capital, the Zheng family’s workshop could only be ranked in the somewhere between the lower and middle level.
The news that Fu Yi had taken the initiative to talk to Zheng Jun Qi at the meeting that day has spread.
After hearing the news, many merchants who had a hand in the textile machine production business took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to Fu Yi. They promised to give Prince Fu’s Mansion an even greater discount, keeping their profits very low, in hopes of creating a connection with Prince Fu’s Mansion.

To their surprise, Fu Yi was not tempted, and he rejected them one by one. He only wanted the Zheng family to manufacture the textile machines that he needed.
Everyone witnessed this kind of abnormal reaction. Fu Yi was deliberately protecting the Zheng family.
Regarding this, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind, which was the Zheng family was finally going to make a comeback. Those who originally wanted to kick the Zheng family while they were down restrained themselves. It was important to please the Zhuo family, but to offend Prince Fu’s Mansion while doing so was just asking for death.
However, everyone was wondering when did Zheng Jun Qi form a connection with the head butler of Prince Fu’s Mansion?
Later, some people came to the conclusion that Fu Yi had yet to take a wife and Zheng Jun Qi had yet to marry. The man was handsome, while the woman was okay in looks; at the very least she was attractive when she smiled. So wasn’t this a case of a talented woman and a handsome man* made a good pair?
[*T/N: The original saying is 男才女貌, which means “a talented man and a beautiful woman [make an ideal couple].” Here the author flipped it around to “a talented woman and a handsome man” instead.]
Everyone who felt that they had touched upon the truth immediately restrained any and all leftover thoughts they had of bullying the Zheng family. If Zheng Jun Qi and the head steward of Prince Fu’s Mansion got married, then the one that they would have to curry favor with would be her and not with the Zhuo family. Therefore, she was not someone that they could easily offend.
Everyone’s guesses were far from the truth, but who could say for sure what would happen in the future?!

Knowing that Uncle was going out to meet up with Zheng Jun Qi, An Zi Ran secretly winked at Fu Wu Tian, who immediately stood up knowingly.
“Uncle, wangfei needs a lot of textile machines. A conservative estimate is still in the hundreds, so you need to pay more attention to the quality of the machines. Why don’t you take this opportunity to have Miss Zheng take you on a tour of the Zheng workshop today?”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yi took a long look at this pair of husbands. He gave a noncommittal respond and then left the mansion.
When Fu Wu Tian sat down, An Zi Ran pressed his shoulder in satisfaction.
He was already seventeen this year. He was about three or four centimeters taller than he was last year. Although he has only reached Fu Wu Tian’s shoulders, there was still a lot of room for growth in the future. He was sure that he could reach 1.8 meters in height. Then he should not be that much shorter than Fu Wu Tian.
Fu Wu Tian held his hand instead. He caressed An Zi Ran’s palm affectionately. “Wangfei, this prince has accomplished the task you gave me excellently, is there any reward?”
An Zi Ran arched an eyebrow.
Fu Wu Tian lowered his head suggestively and tapped the back of his hand.
An Zi Ran wanted to pull his hand back, but Fu Wu Tian held on to him tightly. After a moment of hesitation, Fu Wu Tian’s handsome face was already in front of him, and the tips of their noses were touching each other in an almost intimate manner. It felt like there was a small electrical current spreading throughout his body from the point of contact.
“Wangfei…”
Fu Wu Tian called to him softly. His voice was deeper than usual. It was like there were hands plucking at his heartstrings.
An Zi Ran’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He found that it was getting harder and harder for him resist Fu Wu Tian’s face and voice. Clearly, he has never cared for handsome faces or nice voices before.

He didn’t know if Fu Wu Tian has realized this about him, but lately the man has been deliberately looking for opportunities to get close to him. Moreover, he liked to speak in a low voice in An Zi Ran’s ear, very treacherously grasping his “weakness.” This man was simply too vile!
Fu Wu Tian was not in a hurry. He looked down at An Zi Ran and was about to call to him again. That was when he saw his wangfei suddenly lifting his head. The youth had an expression of determination on his face. He tilted his head and then kissed Fu Wu Tian on the lips. The youth’s tongue was a bit clumsy, but he still burst into Fu Wu Tian’s mouth with confidence. His kiss was similar to the way that Fu Wu Tian normally kissed: his tongue swirling and shoving everywhere inside.
Just as Fu Wu Tian was about to take back the initiative in the kiss, An Zi Ran abruptly withdrew his tongue as if he had sensed the other man’s intention.
A silver thread of saliva connected their lips for a moment before snapping in two. Half of the thread hung on An Zi Ran’s lips. It was such an alluring picture. And then, his wangfei suddenly extended his tongue to lick up the string of saliva.
Fu Wu Tian hugged An Zi Ran’s waist tightly.
An Zi Ran put both of his hands on Fu Wu Tian’s chest to stop him. He looked down at the man’s bulging tent and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. “Wangye, we still have to go out in a moment.”
Fu Wu Tian suddenly discovered that his wangfei was actually very vengeful. “I’ll have my revenge on you tonight.”
An Zi Ran did not twitch a single iota. They’d deal with the evening affairs in the evening. Besides it was not certain who would come out on top!
