<h4>Chapter 313 313 Confession</h4>


    The evening breeze was slightly chilly. Shen Yan was wearing a banquet gown. Although she was wearing a shawl, she still felt a little cold.


    It was very quiet in the garden now. Shen Yan took a look at the bustling banquet hall and felt out of ce. She took a sip of fruit juice and thought of clearing her mind here for a while before going back in.


    She happened to see a kitten drilling into the flowers. Shen Yan walked over and squatted on the ground, trying to lure the kitten out.


    At this moment, she heard footstepsing from the side.


    Shen Yan stood up and was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice.


    “Miss Fu, I have something to do. I’ll leave first.”


    Shen Yan happened to be standing behind one of the Roman columns in the garden, and the person was blocked, so she couldn’t see who the person was outside.


    However, Shen Yan had no interest in listening to the gossip. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered that the voice belonged to Chen Nian’s cousin, Chen Lou.


    The ‘Miss Fu’, who was able to appear in the Jiang family, should be Fu Xiaoxiao.


    Shen Yan stood silently behind the Roman pir and heard Fu Xiaoxiao’s gentle voice.


    “Brother Chen Lou, I’m sorry about what happened earlier. I really didn’t mean to dirty your suit. I’ve already asked someone to buy you a new suit. I hope you don’t mind.”


    Shen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. It was the first time she had heard Fu Xiaoxiao speak in such a gentle voice.


    “Miss Fu, you don’t have to. After all, it’s just a small matter. Miss Fu’s legs just recovered, it’s better not to stand for long. I still have something to do, so I’ll go in first.”


    “Brother Chen Lou, are you concerned about me?”


    “Our two families can be considered old friends.”


    “Brother Chen Lou, have you been on a blind date recently?”


    “What is Miss Fu trying to say?”.


    “Brother Chen Lou, our families know each other well. My mother has been arranging a blind date for me. Since we are both going on blind dates why don’t we work together?”


    Shen Yan almost burst outughing when she heard Fu Xiaoxiao say that.


    Since when did Fu Xiaoxiao be shy? She used to be like a female bandit who would pounce on a man she liked.


    “Thank you for your kind intentions, Miss Fu. It’s just that this kind of thing is easy for people to misunderstand.”


    “That doesn’t matter. If we end up not liking anyone, why don’t we make it official?”


    “I’m sorry, Miss Fu. I really have something to do.”


    After saying that, Chen Lou walked out, leaving Fu Xiaoxiao standing alone.


    Fu Xiaoxiao’s legs just recovered, so she couldn’t stand for long. She limped to a chair at the side and sat down. She rubbed her legs with her hands. If it wasn’t for the fact that Fu Xiaoxiao knew Chen Lou was attending the Jiang family’s banquet, she would not havee.


    After listening to the gossip, Shen Yan’s frustration disappeared instantly. She was about to return to the banquet hall with her juice when she heard Fu Xiaoxiao yell, “Who is it?”


    Fu Xiaoxiao stood up vigntly and walked over, only then did she see clearly that the person hiding behind the Roman pir was Shen Yan.


    Fu Xiaoxiao’s face instantly turned pale. She pretended to be calm and said, “Y-You eavesdropped on our conversation!”


    Shen Yan was no longer the same person whopromised in the Fu family. Her expression was indifferent as she said coldly, “Miss Fu, you are wrong. I have been here for more than ten minutes.”


    Fu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Every time she thought about how Shen Yan had heard everything she had just said to Chen Lou, she wished that she could find a ce to hide in.


    After all, confessing was a very shy thing, to begin with. In addition, she had just been rejected by Chen Lou. She thought about how, Shen Yan, whom she hated the most, had heard everything.


    Some time ago, the Fu family had been scolded byizens all over the country because of the wedding and the illegitimate child. At that time, Fu Xiaoxiao did not dare to go out. Previously, no matter where she went, she could always hear people talking about the Fu family.
