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

Xu Qingcheng was stunned.

Her mother had reminded them before, but she immediately forgot about it.

How could he...?

The other person immediately understood and said with a smile, "Are you two planning to have a baby?"

Fu Jingting simply hummed in response without offering further explanation, so Xu Qingcheng had no choice but to ask, "You're already pregnant, do you still need to take it?"

"You should take it even during the first three months of pregnancy," the pharmacy clerk explained. "Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. It's best to take it during the preconception period, and if you're already pregnant, you should take it for at least the first three months."

Xu Qingcheng simply said "oh" and didn't say anything more.

When asked about her month of pregnancy, she brought a month's supply of folic acid. Fu Jingting immediately said, "Give her a few more boxes; she's so forgetful."

They directly shifted the blame onto her.

"What do you mean?" she denied.

The man pretended not to hear and still took more than three months' worth of medication.

He's rich; a few bottles of medicine won't bankrupt him, so let him be.

Fu Jingting looked at her again, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Xu Qingcheng didn't dare to glance at the birth control pills, and just stiffened her neck and shook her head, "No, I don't want them."

Then he pulled the person out.

The two returned to Jingshan No. 1. Fu Jingting watched her take the medicine and was very satisfied.

"Everyone says that a child's intelligence comes from their mother. If I don't give them some extra help beforehand, I'm afraid they'll end up as brain-dead as their mother."

Xu Qingcheng nearly threw the cup in her hand at his head.

She got angry again and said angrily, "You even know I'm pregnant? Is this how you treat me?"

"How have I ever bothered you? I've always been very careful," he said, spouting nonsense in a particularly serious tone.

He raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes full of mockery. "Tell me, where did I go too far? Tell me so I can know what needs to be changed."

Xu Qingcheng hated herself for bringing up this topic again.

Just then, Zhong Wanxiu's phone rang urgently on Fu Jingting's cell phone, "I just received a call from your grandmother. She said you two want to hold your wedding in March? Isn't that too hasty? You haven't prepared anything yet!"

Fu Jingting glanced at Xu Qingcheng and shifted the blame again, "Well, Qingcheng thought that time was good."

Zhong Wanxiu then lost her temper. "Do you all have time now to discuss how to arrange the troops? Everyone, go and do your own thing?"

Zhong Wanxiu felt like she was going bald from anxiety.

"You're even using strategic formations!" Fu Jingting chuckled. "Mom, we just got back from Grandpa and Grandma's. Let's rest for a bit, it won't take more than a day or two."

"Your mother hasn't been able to rest well these past few days because of what happened to you. You'll probably be free for a while, so take this opportunity to deal with your own affairs." Fu Pinghui's voice came from the other end of the phone. "If you need any help, just let us know. Try to handle things yourself as much as possible."

The implication is that you should handle things yourself if you can, and try not to bother us.

Fu Jingting agreed.

Zhong Wanxiu seized the opportunity to ask, "What do you mean he'll be free for a while?"

After the group resumes work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Jingting will definitely be busy again. In addition, there are still matters concerning Shengshi to deal with in Qingcheng. How could these two have time?

It seems like even taking wedding photos requires booking a time in advance for both of you.

Fu Pinghui didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.

He embraced Zhong Wanxiu and sat her down on the sofa. He reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead; it was black, but some of the roots were white.

The original cascade of black hair is gone forever; I can only hide it by dyeing it.

Fu Pinxiu spent the entire night in the operating room after the car accident, and the doctors issued several critical condition notices.

During that time, Zhong Wanxiu's hair suddenly turned white, with strands of silver appearing among her once black hair, turning it gray and white.

"You're not young anymore. Some things should be left for them to worry about themselves." Fu Pinghui smiled and placed his hand on her cheek from her hair.

With him by her side, she felt at ease. She pulled his hand down and sighed, "I know it myself, but I can't help but think about it. I'm afraid they're still too young and don't think things through. I'm also afraid the old lady will find fault with me again."

She raised her eyebrows, and her coquettish charm reappeared.

Fu Pinghui couldn't help but chuckle. Time seemed to rewind to decades ago. At first, she was afraid of him, cautious and terrified of making a mistake. It was as if even a cough from him could startle her for half a day.

The old lady was a strong-willed woman who always had the final say, so she was careful in everything she did. She dared not speak out when she was wronged, and had nowhere to vent her frustrations, so she hid her tears and wiped them away.

It wasn't until later, when their relationship gradually improved, that she began to express her emotions in front of him in this way.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Fu Pinghui asked himself, and he realized that since they decided to spend their lives together, he had never made her shed tears again, except for that time when the contract repair incident happened.

Fu Pinghui paused for a moment, then told her, "Pinxiu has agreed to the marriage with the Tang family."

Zhong Wanxiu was about to explode. "When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me? Are you all used to keeping such a big thing from me?! I don't agree, I'll agree with any other family, but not the Tang family!"

"See, I knew you'd react this way, that's why I didn't dare tell you directly," Fu Pinghui reassured him.

"The Tang family, they've gone too far. A family that puts profit above all else, I don't think this marriage is a good idea." Zhong Wanxiu was extremely dissatisfied.

"But he agreed to the hiring." Fu Pinghui grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Since he's willing, just let him be. We can't just let him grow old alone."

These words struck a chord with Zhong Wanxiu. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Which girl from the Tang family?"

"Tang Tang. A member of a collateral branch of the Tang family. She said she'll be coming after the Spring Festival. You should take a look at her and not rush to say no."

Fu Sichen eavesdropped for a while, and seeing that her mother was in a bad mood, she didn't dare to disturb her too much and quietly sneaked back to the bedroom.

Just a few days ago she was mocking her older brother for not having a girlfriend, and now this is already happening.

Is it really that popular to get married in a flash these days?

But she's still young...

Fu Sichen was a little annoyed. She called Yu Shinan, but when the call connected, it was a woman's voice.

It was that particularly sassy voice, "Who are you? Brother Nan is busy, you'll have to wait a while to talk to him."

Fu Sichen was so angry that he hung up the phone immediately.

Yu Shinan, that pig's head, is a human green tea magnet.

Feeling frustrated after hanging up, I couldn't help but call back, but every time I called, it was that woman's voice.

Fu Sichen's eyes reddened.

The phone rang back shortly afterward.

Yu Shinan's voice was so familiar and fiery.

"What's up? My phone's almost dead from all the calls you've made."

"I'm asking you, who was that woman who answered the phone just now? Did you go to a hotel with her? I'm going to tell your mother that your private life is incredibly messy!" Fu Sichen was both angry and annoyed.

Yu Shinan's temple twitched. "Don't talk nonsense in front of my mom, or I'll beat you up."

"You think I'm afraid of you? Go ahead and beat me up if you dare! I'll have my second brother return it."

"Your second brother is busy getting married, he doesn't have time to think about you."

Fu Sichen stomped his foot, and Nan-ge stopped yelling. "Yu Shinan, if you say another word, I'll call your mother right now and have her ground you! She'll find you an incredibly ugly wife!"

"My dear little darling. We had a classmate reunion, so I went to the restroom. A classmate helped me out." Yu Shinan was genuinely afraid of her, worried that she might say something inappropriate and he would be unable to defend himself later.

A voice called out from the other end of the phone, "Old Yu, everyone's been waiting for you! You've been on the phone for so long, is your wife checking up on you?"

"Screw you!" Yu Shinan retorted, then added, "You guys go have fun, don't wait for me, I have to go back to the hotel."

"Shishi is really looking forward to seeing you..."

The receiver was probably covered, so Fu Sichen couldn't hear anything. After a while, Yu Shinan spoke to her again, "Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go back first."

Fu Sichen thought for a moment, "Okay. I'll go to the Silver Bay Hotel too. You go back to the hotel quickly, and don't drink. I told my parents you'd take me home tonight."

Yu Shinan: How come this girl is so cunning? Damn, I can't even fool her with a lie.

I had no choice but to cancel the party.

Yu Shinan glared at his phone, annoyed. He cursed, all he did was accept ten million yuan of investment from Fu Jingting as a startup fund. Now, he'd not only become their cook, but also their nanny, and even had to take care of the kids on the side.

As Fu Pinghui and his wife were talking, they saw Fu Sichen rush down from upstairs, dressed neatly as if he were going out.

Zhong Wanxiu asked her, "What time is it? Where are you going?"

"I went to Nan Ge's place. He said the hotel is especially busy during the Spring Festival, so I'm going to experience it. Mom and Dad, don't worry, Nan Ge will take me back later."

Fu Sichen skipped and ran out, leaving behind the words, "I didn't lie. You can call Brother Nan to verify."

……

On the other side, Xu Qingcheng was right next to Fu Jingting, so she naturally heard Zhong Wanxiu's question.

She was also curious, so she asked, "What does 'taking a break' mean?"

Instead of answering directly, the man asked her, "Where should we choose for our wedding home?"

"Can I choose anything?" Xu Qingcheng asked him.

Fu Jingting nodded.

"I wonder if the place I chose can be developed." A sly glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and she glanced at his expression with a hint of nonchalance.

Fu Jingting knew she was up to something as soon as he saw her expression, so he simply went along with it and said, "Tell me first."

"There's a place I've had my eye on for a long time. Wait a minute, I'll show you the site plan, I think you'll like it too." Xu Qingcheng suddenly became enthusiastic.

She pulled his arm. "Let's go to the study."
