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

"What can I say?" Xu Qingcheng pushed him away, her face flushed. "I already told you. You insisted."

"What do I have to do with my wife? Am I supposed to just look at her and not touch her?"

Xu Qingcheng pushed his chin with her palm. This guy was too much, shameless.

When they arrived home, Zhong Wanxiu had also arrived.

Xu Qingcheng had truly realized that both Zhong Wanxiu and the old lady were genuinely looking forward to the child in her womb.

I imagine they will be very disappointed.

Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel uneasy. She first changed into some comfortable clothes.

Xu Hui said that if the threatened miscarriage was confirmed to be irreversible, a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure would be necessary. After preparing all the necessary documents, it would be too dangerous for Fu Jingting to stay in the hospital. Therefore, she had to use a buffer method and let her take care of the matter herself in a few days.

This is definitely a done deal; it's just a matter of a few days sooner or later.

Her belly was like a time bomb, and Xu Qingcheng felt uneasy whenever she thought about it.

Since Ye Wenhan had come to her, Xu Qingcheng naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by easily, and she certainly wouldn't let Ye Wenhan get away so easily.

Qingyao still can't get up. It hurts every time she sees her. Since the Ye family is heartless, they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

However, Zhong Wanxiu did not blame her at all, but was very distressed. "A miscarriage is very harmful to a woman's body, but fortunately the baby is still young, so the damage to you will be less. Qingcheng, please don't take it to heart. Take good care of yourself. We will let nature take its course. If we can keep the baby, we will. If we can't, we will just accept that we were not meant to be. You are both still young, and there is plenty of time in the future."

Xu Qingcheng was truly grateful. Zhong Wanxiu made her feel like she had gained another mother, so warm that she wanted to hug her.

She thought it through and actually did it. "Mom, thank you."

"Oh dear." Zhong Wanxiu quickly reached out and hugged her. She hadn't expected her to be so emotional and momentarily at a loss for words. But she was happy, very happy. "Silly child, what are you thanking me for? You called me Mom, so you're my child. I have to delve into your thoughts and feelings. I know you must be feeling bad too."

Zhong Wanxiu gently comforted him, "Jingting is a man, and he may not think things through completely. I was afraid he would wrong you, so I rushed over."

Sometimes, the unspoken conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law often stem from a lack of mutual understanding. If things are discussed openly and there is more tolerance, there won't be so many problems.

When Fu Jingting heard his mother mention him, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Qingcheng, "Have I wronged you?"

Before Xu Qingcheng could reply, Zhong Wanxiu glared at her again, saying, "Do you think she'll answer if you ask her like that?"

Fu Jingting clicked his tongue and asked Zhong Wanxiu with great curiosity, "Mom, then tell me, how can I wrong her?"

Zhong Wanxiu snorted, "Didn't your dad say that if your wife says she's in pain, hungry, or uncomfortable, and her eyes turn red or she cries, it's because the man hasn't done a good enough job?"

He changed the subject abruptly, "You even let your wife fall, making people disrespect her. Who does Ye Wenhan think she is? Don't go around telling me that Qingcheng stole something; I've never acknowledged her."

Besides, what do you two have? You became her fiancée just because you had dinner together? Fu Jingting, you're getting worse and worse. You can let these messy rumors spread for so long.

What else is this if not treating her unfairly? You don't cherish your own wife, do you expect someone else to cherish her for you? You'll be crying your eyes out when someone else does!

Fu Jingting was left speechless after being confronted.

Xu Qingcheng tried to interject several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Zhong Wanxiu was able to spare a thought and say to her, "You don't need to speak up or speak for him."

Xu Qingcheng remained silent.

After Zhong Wanxiu finished speaking, she asked carefully what the doctor had said. After listening, she frowned and glared at Fu Jingting.

Seeing his mother like this, Fu Jingting's alarm bells went off. Sure enough, she said, "You're a man and you can't even take care of people. Let Qingcheng come home with me. You must have a lot to do these days, so finish up your work first."

(⊙o⊙)…Xu Qingcheng was a little stunned. Why…did they just let her go home with her mother-in-law?

This...this isn't good...

But she would be willing to spend the next few days without having to be with Fu Jingting.

Some things are really much more convenient as long as you don't sleep in the same bed.

After thinking about it, Xu Qingcheng nodded, indicating that she had no objection.

Zhong Wanxiu's thinking was also very straightforward. Young men and women are always attracted to each other, but isn't this a special time? If you can't resist, I'll steal him away from under your nose. You'll have to endure it whether you like it or not.

Both of their gazes fell on Fu Jingting. Once he nodded, Zhong Wanxiu was about to leave with her people.

The man clicked his tongue, his gaze fixed on Xu Qingcheng. "Are you sure you want to go?"

Xu Qingcheng dared not reply, feeling that his words had a deeper meaning.

Fu Jingting pressed his temples. "Mom, you go back first. Let me discuss it with her. If she wants to go, I'll personally take her there tomorrow."

After finally seeing Zhong Wanxiu off, Fu Jingting glanced at her and walked towards the living room, with Xu Qingcheng following behind him.

The man sat down on the sofa and asked her to sit down as well.

Xu Qingcheng obediently sat down beside him. "What do you want to discuss with me?"

The man raised an eyebrow. "Do you remember what I told you the day we got our marriage certificate?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Qingcheng didn't understand his meaning for a moment.

"Mrs. Fu's memory seems to be really bad." The man tapped her head with his finger. "If you won't let me go out and find women, then you'll have to satisfy my basic needs."

So that's what it meant.

Xu Qingcheng's forehead tightened. "Then I'm pregnant. The doctor also said it's not a good time right now."

"Pregnant?" Fu Jingting scoffed.

With that hum, Xu Qingcheng's nerves tensed up.

Xu Hui called again, completely oblivious to the danger. Xu Qingcheng hung up, but the phone kept ringing.

Xu Qingcheng picked up the phone, intending to go to the side to answer it, but the man stopped her.

"Take it." Fu Jingting raised his chin.

Xu Qingcheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer, "Hello, Auntie, my husband and I just got home and we're together."

Xu Qingcheng deliberately chose to have them together, just to give them a hint.

"Qingcheng, he knows you're not pregnant." Xu Hui's voice exploded in Xu Qingcheng's ears.
