Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

As soon as Xu Qingcheng stepped out of the elevator, she broke free from him.

The man didn't force her.

I drove her home, passing by the Silver Bay Hotel on the way.

A man stood there, a cigarette dangling from his lips, a thermos in his hand, his gray hair gleaming in the neon lights of the night. His nonchalant attitude was immediately apparent.

However, Yu Shinan was filled with impatience at this moment. When he saw Fu Jingting's car coming, he wished he could kick the front of Fu Jingting's car.

As soon as the car window rolled down, he grabbed the thermos and shoved it inside, saying, "I'm fucking your house..."

The word "cook" was stuck between his teeth when he noticed a woman sitting in the seat—a beautiful woman, no less.

The force with which they had been stuffing the thermos container was now lessened.

Yu Shinan's gaze fell on Xu Qingcheng's face, his brow twitched, and he loosened his grip on the thermos. "You can fawn over women all you want, but don't try to order me around!"

Fu Jingting had originally intended to say thank you, but he didn't say a word. He simply stepped on the gas and drove off.

Yu Shinan inhaled a mouthful of exhaust fumes and cursed angrily.

After escorting her downstairs, Fu Jingting kept his promise and didn't go upstairs.

Xu Qingcheng, carrying the medicine bag and thermos, was deeply moved and stood there speechless for a moment.

Seeing her expression, Fu Jingting couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease her, "What, do you want me to come up with you?"

"Who wanted to?"

She scoffed and turned away hastily.

She quickened her pace, feeling somewhat uneasy, and her face flushed.

As Fu Jingting watched her go inside, his hand rested on the steering wheel armrest, and his fingertips tightened slightly.

Xu Qingcheng entered the room and rushed to the window to look out. In the distance, she saw the taillights of the man's car flashing as it turned away.

My heart felt numb, and I couldn't explain why; I felt a sense of loss.

She looked away, realizing she shouldn't have had this emotion.

The thermos contains porridge, which is delicious and good for the stomach.

Xu Qingcheng drank it spoonful by spoonful, and suddenly tears started falling down her face. She didn't know if it was because she was not feeling well, but her emotions were overflowing and uncontrollable, and her pretentious and affected manner was quite annoying.

But that's life, there will always be a moment that makes you feel warm.

I would suddenly want to hug him and draw some more warmth from him, to not let him leave, not let him go.

This feeling is inexplicable and pathetic.

Who is he to her, and what is their relationship?

In the adult world, basic human needs like food and sex are clearly categorized. Why would someone as clear-headed as her suddenly develop such an unrealistic desire?

But when I opened my eyes in the hospital bed, there wasn't a single relative around, and the sense of desolation seeped into my bones.

Just like now, the room is empty, and she is all alone. Whether she feels uncomfortable or not, she has to endure it all by herself.

She just hoped that even if there was someone around who couldn't help her, it would be okay if they could cheer her on or help her shift her focus so that she wouldn't fall into this high-pressure emotional state.

but.

There is no such person.

Xu Qingcheng wiped away her tears. She cried and laughed intermittently, like a fool, but she still managed to drink the whole bowl of porridge.

She didn't know how delicious it was, but she knew that if she didn't eat, she really wouldn't be able to hold on.

Even if you can't sleep, you should still sleep; even if you feel unwell, you should still eat. Health is the foundation of everything.

……

When Yu Sheng arrived, Xu Qingcheng was already in the office, her makeup exquisite and her expression serious. She quickly went through the backlog of documents from the past few days, looking energetic and making it hard to believe that the person who had fainted was her.

Xu Qingcheng put down her pen. There were three copies on the table. "I haven't looked at these yet. Take these in the middle to the person in charge to explain to me personally. I've already signed these on the right."

Yu Sheng agreed and came over to get the documents.

Xu Qingcheng stared at him. "Why did you leave without permission last night? What did he say to you?"

"Actually, he didn't say much. He just said you were throwing a tantrum and getting angry with him, and told me to leave without worry."

Xu Qingcheng's brow twitched, and she slammed her pen on the table. "I'm angry with him? What right do I have to be angry with him? Just because he says something doesn't mean it! Yu Sheng, you're my assistant, and Shengshi pays your salary!"

Xu Qingcheng reprimanded him sternly, and Yu Sheng, his face flushed red, said, "I'm sorry, President Xu, I thought you two had that kind of relationship, especially since he even came to the hospital..."

"What kind of relationship? There's absolutely nothing between us, don't make wild guesses!" Xu Qingcheng interrupted him.

"Yes. I'm sorry."

Xu Qingcheng pressed her fingers on her temples. "Alright, go out."

Yu Sheng, who was being scolded so badly he dared not breathe, took out the documents and shook his head.

Thinking back to what Fu Jingting had asked him last night, "Is your CEO Xu particularly short-tempered? Does he often get scolded?"

Yu Sheng nodded heavily, still seemingly shaken, "Yes, after what happened with President Xu, I had no further improper thoughts."

No matter how beautiful she is, I wouldn't dare to even think about such a formidable tigress.

Fu Jingting suddenly laughed, seemingly agreeing with him, and patted his shoulder, "You go first. She's throwing a tantrum right now, you need to coax her."

Since someone else had taken on the job, Yu Sheng was naturally happy to accept and left without hesitation.

At this moment, Yu Sheng thought to himself, "It seems I didn't coax him well last night, and he's suffering along with me."

Tsk tsk tsk, women are such a hassle.

However, given Mr. Xu's relationship with Young Master Fu, why doesn't he try to win him over?!

Xu Qingcheng kicked the person out, then couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't want to think about why Fu Jingting was at the hospital, nor did she want to think about the purpose of his words. In short, she wanted to completely exclude him from her mind, which was a very dangerous sign.

I've been busy for the past few days.

The issues concerning the injured have been mostly resolved. Xu Qingcheng was worried that things might not go well, and that Ye Chengnian might use some other tricks later. However, the public security system stepped in and smoothed things over.

Xu Qingcheng was pleasantly surprised.

Ye Chengnian was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. His secretary reported to him, "President Ye, Captain Han has stepped in directly. All these people in the demolition project are afraid of him and dare not cause trouble."

It must have been someone Fu Jingting hired. It seems Xu Qingcheng has been secretly colluding with Fu Jingting all along. Someone saw them returning from Jiangzhou City together some time ago.

"Mr. Ye, regarding this marriage alliance with the Fu family, shouldn't we consider other options?"

Ye Wenhan was about to deliver a document, but after hearing this, she couldn't listen anymore. Her face turned pale and cold, and she looked terrible.

She handed the documents to the secretary's office, told them to take them in later, and then left.

Feeling restless and consumed by jealousy, her anger had no outlet and only caused her internal organs to ache. She clenched her fingers tightly into her palms.

She was unwilling to accept this, and she would never allow Xu Qingcheng to ruin the marriage she had hoped for. Absolutely not.

This marriage was arranged by her family, but it was also her own choice. Ye Wenhan believed that if it weren't for Xu Qingcheng, they would have been engaged long ago, and even if there might not have been love at first, feelings would have developed in their daily lives.

Isn't that how most marriages in wealthy families are? Even if we take a step back, it can't be Xu Qingcheng; she won't accept it.

She wouldn't accept this woman who ruined her second brother's career and is now trying to destroy her marriage. She's a despicable woman who deserves to be despised and cursed!
