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

Tang Kejia's face turned ugly. "What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? It's the original meaning." Xu Qingcheng smiled. "Miss Tang, didn't you smell it?"

Before Tang Kejia could speak, Xu Qingcheng snorted coldly, "Or does Miss Tang hope I'll also give you a pair of underwear as a gift?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Don't you understand? How could someone as smart as you not understand?" Xu Qingcheng laughed coldly, blowing on her hot tea. "Trying to have your cake and eat it too, huh? Miss Tang is the best I've ever seen at that. But there's something I forgot to tell you: Fu Jingting doesn't agree to divorce me. So no matter how much you scheme, you'll still be a mistress. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect the Tang family to be so virtuous."

"Tang Kejia, what if I went to the media and leaked this? I wonder if your sexy underwear would become the standard accessory for mistresses, and you, Tang Kejia, would become famous overnight."

Xu Qingcheng finished speaking with a faint smile. As she watched Tang Kejia's face turn pale and cold, she felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Even though she genuinely wanted to divorce Fu Jingting and have nothing to do with each other in the future, Xu Qingcheng couldn't allow herself to lose her composure in front of Tang Kejia.

Tang Kejia's lips twitched. She was embarrassed by having her veil of shame torn off in front of her like this, but at this moment, she dared not say anything other than deny it, for fear that Xu Qingcheng would secretly record her and send it out. In that case, she would be confirmed as the third party and would lose more than just her reputation.

Tang Kaiji is the kind of person who can keep a mistress, but he can't stand others bringing shame to the Tang family. In that case, her hard-earned position in the Tang family will be in jeopardy.

"Don't talk nonsense. I really don't know what you're talking about. Jingting and I are completely innocent."

"Really? So innocent? You might not get the official position even if you stay old." Xu Qingcheng laughed. "Miss Tang, how about I give you a suggestion? You should just admit it. That way, my chances of getting a divorce will be higher, and it will also help me get more assets when dividing the property. You might be able to get the official position smoothly. Why not?"

Xu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and spoke with a sarcastic tone.

Even though it was sarcastic, Tang Kejia had to admit that she was even a little tempted, and almost blurted out "Really?"

However, she was not a naive girl after all, and she broke out in a cold sweat under Xu Qingcheng's coaxing.

"Miss Xu, you can't keep your man yourself, so don't blame others. What's the point of doubting Jingting and me like this? Be more open-minded." Tang Kejia spoke with the earnestness of a caring older sister.

Xu Qingcheng suddenly sneered and splashed a cup of tea directly at the person opposite her.

"Ah...you!"

Tang Kejia screamed as the scalding tea was splashed directly onto her face, causing a burning pain.

Tang Kejia was both shocked and furious, so angry that she couldn't speak. She hadn't expected Xu Qingcheng to actually make a move.

"To be honest, I came to see you today to see just how far a woman can go. Miss Tang, you've certainly shown me. Where do you get the confidence to compare yourself to me? Hypocritical and despicable. I've seen plenty of ugly women, but I've never seen anyone look like you before!"

Xu Qingcheng slammed the teacup down on the table, then stood up and left with an air of nonchalance.

I was on edge, and even after splashing water all over her face, I didn't feel any relief.

Ultimately, even though she stood tall and proud, arrogant and domineering, she still lost her love and marriage.

This matter may not be entirely Tang Kejia's fault, but he is ultimately a part of it.

Xu Qingcheng went to get her car. Just as she was about to open the car door, someone suddenly came up behind her, grabbed her hand, and slammed the car door shut. The car keys in her hand were also snatched away.

He approached silently, startling Xu Qingcheng. She turned around sharply and saw Fu Jingting standing right behind her.

The man's features were cast in shadow by the dim light of the underground parking garage. His chest pressed against her back, the extreme closeness creating the illusion of an inseparable bond. Xu Qingcheng calmed her racing heart, her expression cold. "Get out of the way."

Fu Jingting didn't move, but pulled his arm over the car door closer, holding her even tighter. "You really dislike me that much?"

"Do you need my favor?" Xu Qingcheng asked coldly, her alluring eyes revealing a captivating charm that was only revealed where she chose to be.

Whether it's feigned affection or genuine desire to please, it's up to her to decide.

Such a beautiful face, yet the coldness in its eyes was more deadly than a knife. Its thin lips parted, and the words that escaped were sharp and harsh, "Young Master Fu's new lover is upstairs. You shouldn't be here. Oh, sorry, I just lost control and splashed her face."

"Isn't my new love here? Who's upstairs?" The man's voice was low and hoarse, which was incredibly alluring in the quiet underground parking area where only the occasional sound of a car could be heard.

Xu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, hating him for doing this, giving her a slap and then a piece of candy, trying to cover up the truth like this.

She shoved her elbow back sharply, "Get out of the way."

The man behind her remained motionless; he missed her so much that his heart ached.

But she can just disappear when she says she doesn't want to, and she can cut ties cleanly when she says she doesn't want to, whether she's angry or in love, she's always decisive and leaves no room for ambiguity.

She could say she liked something when she wanted, and she could say she didn't want it when she didn't, making him hate her so much his bones ached.

But unwilling to give up, he insisted on getting closer to her.

Despite being shameless, she still insisted on coming closer.

Her body was warm, and the scent was so strong it seemed to seep into his very bones. Fu Jingting couldn't bear to let go. Knowing that Tang Kejia had met with her, he rushed over. He watched as she swiftly and decisively struck, her powerful and clear eyes not even blinking.

But what did she say, that she would make Tang Kejia confirm her affair with him, thus giving her a chance to divorce?!

Fu Jingting was so angry that his forehead was about to explode. How could she be so impatient as to shove him into someone else's mouth?

The thought of this made Fu Jingting's anger flare up.

"Fu Jingting, let go. Or I'll call the police."

"Call the police?" Fu Jingting scoffed. "Don't forget, we're still husband and wife. Calling the police would make me harass you."

The phone rang at an inopportune moment; Ye Tinghong was calling again. Xu Qingcheng instinctively wanted to hang up, but Fu Jingting beat her to it, pressing the answer button and putting the call on speakerphone.

"Qingcheng, how have you been lately? Are you feeling better?"

The man's concerned voice came through the receiver clearly. Before Xu Qingcheng could speak, Fu Jingting spoke first, his voice laced with sarcasm, "Is Second Young Master Ye so concerned about my wife?"

Xu Qingcheng reached out to grab the phone, but he had long arms and legs and easily held it up to a height she couldn't reach.

Xu Qingcheng was furious, her eyes red with anger. She hissed in a low voice, "Fu Jingting, give me back my phone."

"Qingcheng, where are you now? Do you need me to come over?"

The space for two people was already cramped enough, and adding another person made it even more cramped.

Xu Qingcheng snatched the phone from his hand. "No need, I'm fine."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without even saying goodbye.

Fu Jingting's expression grew increasingly grim. He stared at her with a stiff face, "So, are you making room for me, or am I making room for Ye Tinghong?"

"Fu Jingting, don't drag others into this." Xu Qingcheng looked up at him, her heart aching beyond repair, so she stopped insisting. During this time, rumors about him and Tang Kejia had been rampant, and he hadn't made any clarifications.

Qide Group's frequent actions, despite holding only a small percentage of shares, have allowed it to exert pressure on other shareholders.

Otherwise, where would Tang Kejia get the confidence to swagger around with her?

How could he possibly say such ambiguous and confusing things to her at a time like this?

Xu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and forcefully pushed Fu Jingting away. Her voice was calm, rational, and resolute. "Between us, there has never been any sentimentality, only interests. In the business world, whether you live or die, you pay the price. Mr. Fu, since you have never shown me any mercy, I will not continue to passively take the beating."

My shoulder still hurts, but the wound has healed.

But the wound in my heart can never be healed.

The woman's car drove away, its two taillights disappearing around the corner.

She equated the relationship between the two to purely business planning, thus maintaining a clear distance.

But Xu Qingcheng never expected that in a business war she was passively involved in, she would naturally want to put everything back in its original place, but she still couldn't escape the fog of events that were changing.
