Chapter 1030 I Don’t Want to Hurt You
Fu Chen thought about the first time he met Liu Meilan, and she was indeed in a very embarrassed state.
Fortunately, Liu Meilan was a good swimmer, so she was able to survive. If it were someone else, swimming from Sanlian Island, they would have been swept away by the wind and waves.
Fu Chen held Liu Meilan's hand and said, "Fortunately, I met you at that time."
Liu Meilan moved closer to Fu Chen and tilted her head. "I should have said this. Fortunately, I met you at that time, otherwise I might have really failed."
Fu Chen held Liu Meilan in his arms as they walked towards the clay pot rice shop. "In short, everything is fate, destiny."
"But the way you looked at me back then was terrifying," Liu Meilan complained. "Am I really that scary?"
Fu Chen smiled bitterly. "I don't believe you swam here from Sanlian Island. Besides, you are very beautiful and your behavior is suspicious. I suspect you are a spy. After all, my best friend died because of a spy. I don't like beautiful women."
Liu Meilan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. It was quite scary at the time. I was thinking, 'He looks so good, but he's so fierce!' But you helped me when I was in danger. I know you are a good person."
Fu Chen lowered his head and smiled, "Actually, I started to fall in love with you the third time I saw you, but I didn't know it at the time and I didn't admit it."
"Really?" Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows. "Even if I were an ordinary girl, you would still like me?"
Fu Chen nodded, "Yes, I will like you silently, but I won't fall in love with you or marry you."
"Huh?" Liu Meilan was startled. "Why?"
Fu Chen said softly: "I don't want to hurt you!"
This one sentence touched Liu Meilan's heart.
Being moved but not expressing your feelings, just guarding silently, is the greatest protection.
A family like the Fu family would not allow Fu Chen to marry an ordinary girl, unless that girl was as outstanding as Xu Huizhen, who had to work hard for several years before getting the consent of the Fu family.
At that time, she was a poor girl who had escaped from marriage. She was very beautiful, but had no education. Even though she had special abilities, she did not fully display them and could not tell others.
If Fu Chen really confessed his love to her and married her, she would be deeply hurt and heartbroken. Even if Fu Chen was willing to stay here with her for the rest of his life, would he be happy if he broke up with his family?
"Why aren't you talking?" Fu Chen lowered his head and looked at Liu Meilan. "Are you angry?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "I'm not angry! A marriage without parental support is a mess and can't last. Just like Hu Jian and his wife, they used to truly love each other and had many sweet times together, but... never mind. After all, relationships and marriages are a matter of personal experience. When it comes to divorce, it's definitely because they can't continue."
Fu Chen smiled. "Because at that time, I saw Xu Huizhen's grievances and my eldest brother's difficulties. They once cried and quarreled to the point of chaos... I couldn't bear to see you suffer like that."
Liu Meilan nodded. "Thank you for your restraint. If you liked me at that time, I couldn't refuse you when I was vulnerable. In the end, I would only be hurt more deeply."
Arriving at the clay pot rice shop, the proprietress saw Liu Meilan and Fu Chen and hurriedly greeted them, "There are seats inside. What would you like to eat?"
Liu Meilan looked at it and said, "I'm having Chinese sausage clay pot rice today."
Fu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I'll have the black bean and pork ribs clay pot rice."
"Okay, I'll be right there." The proprietress took note and carried the teapot. "Have some tea first. It'll be ready in two or three minutes."
"Thank you!" Liu Meilan smiled and drank the tea.
Fu Chen looked at it and asked, "Can you eat enough?"
Liu Meilan looked up and said, "There's ginger milk over there. Buy me some. And buy yourself something you like."
"Okay!" Fu Chen got up and walked out. He not only bought two bowls of ginger milk, but also bought a box of water chestnut cake.
Liu Meilan's eyes lit up when she saw it, "There's also water chestnut cake?"
Fu Chen chuckled, "It's freshly made, try it."
Liu Meilan picked up a piece of water chestnut cake with a spoon and tasted it carefully. "Not bad, it tastes very good."
Fu Chen smiled and said, "I found that many of the things on our island are authentic and have a mellow taste. The things outside seemed good at first, but they were too sweet and greasy. After trying them once, I didn't want to eat them anymore."
Liu Meilan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you could still find delicious food outside before, but now with the accelerated pace of development, some handmade products can no longer meet demand, and industrialized standardized production is being adopted. Although production efficiency has increased, the fresh and original flavor has been lost."
In the past, Liu Meilan often ate in Shenzhen, but now, apart from eating in the company cafeteria, she no longer eats too many pastries outside.
Fu Chen and Liu Meilan finished their water chestnut cake and ginger milk, and two servings of clay pot rice came up.
They had Western food for lunch. There was no rice or noodles, but there was bread. However, although Liu Meilan and Fu Chen were not hungry, they always felt like they had not eaten.
A couple is like family. They ate in silence, feeling very satisfied.
The two men walked out of the clay pot rice shop, looked at each other and smiled.
Go to your grandparents' house, pick up the two children, put them down, and then both of you take a bath and go to bed.
What followed was another beautiful night.
The next morning, Fu Chen went for a run. When he was about to buy breakfast, he met Mr. Liu.
"Fu Chen, go back and ask Meilan to come home for breakfast. We have her favorite beef pot stickers at home."
Fu Chen chuckled, "Okay, then I won't buy it."
"No need to buy!" Mr. Liu replied, and picked out a few breakfast items to take back.
When Fu Chen returned home, he saw that the two children had woken up and were drinking milk from their bottles!
"Grandpa asked us to go back for breakfast." Fu Chen said, "Mother-in-law made the pot stickers you like."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, okay."
After the two children returned to the old house, they ran to their grandma and great-grandfather, being very affectionate and cute. Then they each received a small bun.
The pot stickers were too hard for Xiao Han, but the small buns were made with leavened dough and tasted great.
Wearing a bib, his little mouth was full of greasy food.
Liu Meilan ate the pot stickers contentedly and gave her mother a thumbs up, "Mom, the pot stickers you made are delicious."
Professor Xie didn't believe it, "It tastes like home cooking, but it's not as good as what you get out there."
"How can you put as much beef as you put in other places?" Liu Meilan retorted. "It's delicious. I can eat a whole plate of it."
Fu Chen kept silent, but his eating speed proved how delicious the beef pot stickers were.
Just as everyone was eating, they heard someone knocking on the door, "Come in, the door is not locked."
Then someone outside pushed the door open and came in, making Liu Meilan curious, "Boss Zhou, how come you have time to come here so early in the morning?"
Boss Zhou smiled and said, "I'll bring you some fish balls that the hotel just made."
