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

Xu Qingcheng rushed to her room to change her clothes.

Zhong Wanxiu and Liu Yang exchanged a smile and asked, "You could tell?"

"How come I can't tell? Your son's eyes are glued to his wife."

Zhong Wanxiu smiled and said, "If you find a good wife, your life will never be bad. That's all I hope for; I just want my children to be well."

When Xu Qingcheng came out, Liu Yang was amazed. "I always thought you looked beautiful in a cheongsam. Your proportions are perfect."

"It looks good. It looks especially good." Zhong Wanxiu was also very satisfied. "Wear this outfit, don't change it again. Your grandma will definitely like it too."

Xu Qingcheng felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, "Then I'll wear this."

She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself; the cheongsam did indeed make her look more elegant.

The platinum and gold composite lace fabric has a retro and sophisticated color scheme. The neckline is adorned with a large white silk bow and six pearl buttons, making it cute, playful, and exceptionally well-behaved.

The cuffs feature champagne gold bow ties and are paired with gold openwork lace.

This cheongsam has a particularly beautiful name: Golden Jade Hibiscus.

Liu Yang was increasingly satisfied with the outfit. She took out the matching set, which was a white embroidered cape.

A pair of pearl sunflower earrings.

Her hair was styled with a headband adorned with pearls and rose gold leaves, which was then styled into a bun, creating an elegant and sophisticated look.

It looks good no matter how you look at it.

Xu Qingcheng was satisfied with herself. She straightened her chest, her eyes gentle, and she perfectly captured the temperament of a well-bred lady.

She knew she was beautiful, and she wanted to exude a bewitching aura; her eyes seemed to be naturally alluring.

However, if she wanted to look particularly dignified, she needed to master her posture. Zhao Lan had taught her a lot since she was a child, and if she paid attention, she could do it with ease.

This antique charm comes on effortlessly.

Who would willingly become a femme fatale? It's only out of necessity. The hypocrisy and maneuvering of the business world force her to lower her stance, cut off all her thorns, and in a man's world, she must use her feminine advantages to seek an opportunity.

After Fu Jingting turned on his phone, calls kept coming in. He answered a few, and when he finally took off his headphones, he checked the time and knew it was time to leave.

When the man came out of the study and saw Xu Qingcheng, his eyes narrowed sharply, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his throat felt itchy.

Her curvaceous figure, with its prominent breasts and buttocks, perfectly showcased her physique, leaving nothing hidden.

He still remembered the last time she wore a cheongsam, standing next to Zhao Lan with a gentle smile. As she walked, her hips swayed, and a crease would naturally appear on the cheongsam at her waist, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden as she moved, exuding charm.

Even with her elegance, she was undeniably alluring and seductive in Fu Jingting's eyes, drawing his gaze in that direction and making him want to reach out and touch her.

He frowned. "Ugly, not good-looking. Change it."

Xu Qingcheng was taken aback. "What's wrong with it?"

He couldn't take his eyes off her when she wore a cheongsam, and now he says she's ugly!

Zhong Wanxiu raised an eyebrow and retorted, "What's wrong with it? What kind of eyes do you have? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. I think it's fine as it is."

Fu Jingting, "..."

Liu Yang left behind two sets of everyday clothes and one formal dress for emergencies; she would check the rest when she got back.

Zhong Wanxiu told her to go first, and instructed her to prepare a few brightly colored outfits, and also to help her look at wedding dresses.

Liu Yang left first.

Zhong Wanxiu gave Xu Qingcheng a whole set of jewelry from the latest brand, piled up in seven or eight layers, saying, "I didn't have time to choose, so this will have to do for now."

Fu Jingting couldn't help but chuckle, looking at the box full of dazzling items. "Mom, you're like a nouveau riche, showing off your wealth."

Zhong Wanxiu retorted angrily, "I don't want to look like a nouveau riche, but you should prepare something for your wife!"

Fu Jingting raised an eyebrow, speechless after being rebuked.

Xu Qingcheng could sense Zhong Wanxiu's thoughtfulness and quickly reassured her, "Thank you, Mom, I like them all."

The sight of her smiling face softened Zhong Wanxiu's heart. Thinking of her situation, she couldn't help but feel more affection for her. She thought that she was sensible and that the Xu family had raised a good daughter.

"The time was too short, and I'm sorry you had to suffer." Zhong Wanxiu took Xu Qingcheng's hand and put a white jade bracelet on her wrist.

The white of the mutton fat was tinged with streaks of blood red, like fresh blood scattered on the snow, making the white even more crystal clear and warm.

Xu Qingcheng glanced at it and saw that it was ancient and of excellent quality. She hurriedly tried to refuse, but Fu Jingting pulled her hand and said, "Let's go."

"Why--"

She was pulled so hard she almost lost her balance, but the man considerately supported her, saying, "Just take it. Ms. Zhong has plenty of nice things."

His sudden tug and hug startled Zhong Wanxiu, who immediately patted Fu Jingting on the shoulder, saying, "Be careful, Qingcheng is with the child right now."

Fu Jingting raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Yes, I need to be more careful."

Xu Qingcheng was both embarrassed and blushed at his words, her heart filled with a mixture of unease and shyness.

Last night was like a decadent and glamorous movie, with so many plot points that she felt her legs tremble even standing in front of him.

He kept calling her "Mrs. Fu," as if reminding her of the romance and obligations between husband and wife, and that all her rejections were just affectation, as if his treatment of her was the right and normal thing to do.

She was as if she were under his spell; he twisted and turned her body, making her feel like she was being tossed and turned in waves, unable to escape.

Xu Qingcheng was afraid of that uncontrollable decline, that clinging and begging as if she couldn't live without him, and she tried every reason to plead.

She said she was pregnant and this couldn't go on; she couldn't take it.

He comforted her, saying he would be careful and wouldn't hurt the baby.

He's lying.

Even though Xu Qingcheng had never been pregnant, she knew that his actions were deadly.

At the end of her passion, she even despaired, wondering if he didn't want the child, and if he wouldn't marry her if the child wasn't born, all her schemes would be in vain.

But Xu Qingcheng naturally dared not ask such a question.

But he was really mean. When he saw her crying, he would comfort her, kiss her eyebrows and lips, and whisper in her ear in a deep voice, calling her "my little darling" over and over until she had no temper left.

I really envy people with thick skin; how could they possibly say such a sour name?

Looking at the two young people, one shameless and the other so embarrassed he wanted to disappear, Zhong Wanxiu frowned. She felt it was inappropriate for her to say these words, but she was also worried that they might inadvertently harm their health. "Jingting, don't take this lightly. The first three months are the most unstable. If something happens, it can be extremely harmful to a woman's body. You have to care more about your wife and child than anyone else. You still need to be more restrained and moderate in your sexual relations."

Then he said to Xu Qingcheng, "You can't let him do whatever he wants."

Zhong Wanxiu wasn't blind. She had just glanced at her while she was changing clothes. Although Xu Qingcheng had quickly covered it up, one glance was enough. The marks on her body were truly... enough to make one's face flush.

Zhong Wanxiu had already tried her best to be tactful, but Xu Qingcheng really wanted to bang her head against a wall.

Even after getting into the car, Xu Qingcheng was still too embarrassed to calm down. She felt that being pointed out by her mother-in-law and told to behave themselves was even more shameful than being caught cheating.
