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

Xu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him, then took Xu Yuan from his hands and got into the car.

"Will Mommy and Daddy play with Yuanyuan?" Xu Yuan nestled obediently in Xu Qingcheng's arms, her big eyes full of anticipation. Xu Qingcheng felt a lump in her throat. She gently pinched Yuanyuan's little nose. "Daddy will play with Yuanyuan, along with Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy has to go out today."

Xu Yuan suddenly became a little unhappy, "But I love my mom, I want my mom to come with me."

"Sweetie, next time, Mommy will take Yuanyuan to ride the carousel, okay?" Xu Qingcheng coaxed her. Little Xu Yuanyuan was still a little unwilling, but she reluctantly agreed.

Song Chang called to ask when she would arrive.

"In a bit. Let's take Xu Yuan downstairs first." Xu Qingcheng said, then put the phone to Xu Yuan's ear, "Say hello to Changchang's godmother."

"Changchang, godmother!" Xu Yuan called out in a clear voice.

Song Chang quickly agreed, then asked, "Where is Yuan Yuan going?"

"Dad is taking Yuanyuan to Grandma's house."

The little girl's voice was halting, but she still spoke quite clearly.

Xu Qingcheng put her phone away, and Song Chang said to her, "Okay, hurry up, let's walk around for a while, and then we'll find someone to treat us to lunch."

"Why look for someone else? The two of us are fine enough."

"That won't do. A beautiful woman needs a handsome man to keep her company too," Song Chang laughed. "I heard Shen Muqing works nearby. If I call him, he'll be eager to come over!"

Song Chang wanted to introduce her to men. So what if she had a child? She was beautiful, fashionable, good-looking, and rich. She could always find a good one.

"Come on, that's enough." Xu Qingcheng's face turned slightly red when she heard Shen Muqing's name. She remembered her embarrassing drunken state that time. "Don't call him, it's too awkward."

Fu Jingting glanced over and saw Xu Qingcheng's slightly flushed face; his expression darkened.

After she hung up the phone, he suddenly asked, "Where are you going? Want the driver to take you?"

"No need, I can just take a taxi myself," Xu Qingcheng refused naturally.

As Fu Jingting parked the car, he casually asked, "Going out with Song Chang?"

Miss Xu glanced at him back, with an attitude that said, "What's it to you?"

When they arrived at his parents' house, Xu Qingcheng carried Xu Yuan out of the car.

Before the car door was even closed, Fu Sichen's loud voice could be heard, "Little Xuyuan, your aunt has missed you so much!"

Fu Sichen was busy with exams recently, as her family was arranging for her to study for a master's degree abroad, so she was quite busy. She didn't have time to visit Xu Yuan when Xu Yuan was hospitalized for surgery, but after being discharged, she went to see Xu Qingcheng specifically to see Xu Yuan and even bought her a very exquisite set of Hanfu.

Children can clearly distinguish the enthusiasm of adults. Hearing Fu Sichen's enthusiastic voice, Xu Yuan hopped over to Fu Sichen on her short legs, and because she couldn't pronounce "little aunt" clearly, she called him "little pig".

Fu Sichen bent down and picked up Xu Yuan, pretending to be angry as she corrected her, "Auntie, Auntie, come on, repeat after me. Repeat it properly, or Auntie will take away all the Barbie dolls she bought for you."

After several attempts, Si Chen was completely defeated.

Fu Mosen ran out with Fu Sichen. Hearing Xu Yuan call out "Little Pig, eat!" and giggle, he grabbed Fu Sichen's arm and said, "Auntie, put your sister down and let me see her."

My parents told me that my second uncle's family has a little sister. My mom said the little sister looks like my former second aunt, and is pretty and cute.

Fu Mosen had never met his former second aunt. He hadn't been able to visit his little sister recently because his mother wasn't feeling well. Hearing that she had made a wish to visit her grandmother today, Fu Mosen pestered his mother to come over early this morning.

Although he had never met his former second aunt, he had seen photos of his little sister on his grandmother's phone; she was pretty, like a doll.

It's pink and tender.

She's definitely prettier than Xie Mingchen's sister.

Fu Sichen put Xu Yuan down and asked him, "Isn't the little sister cute?"

"Pretty. As pretty as your aunt." Fu Mosen chuckled, reaching out to gently pat Xu Yuan's little head, a very light and careful gesture.

Fu Sichen couldn't help but laugh when she heard his flattery and saw his cautious demeanor. "You really like your little sister that much?"

"My sister is pretty, who doesn't like pretty girls?!" Fu Mosen replied matter-of-factly.

Fu Sichen was unable to refute this, and could only say, "Your mother is pregnant with another one. You're hoping for a little sister, but please don't let it be a little brother."

After saying that, Fu Sichen went over and took Xu Qingcheng's arm. "Qingcheng, since you're here, I bought you matching family outfits. Try them on and see if they fit."

Without saying a word, he pulled Xu Qingcheng into the villa.

"No need, just try making a wish."

"Oh, just take a moment to try it on. If it doesn't fit, I'll exchange it." Fu Sichen said with a smile, dragging the person forward.

"Si Chen, it's really not necessary. I've made plans to have dinner with Song Chang." Xu Qingcheng declined gently but firmly.

Fu Sichen was at a loss and gave his second brother a helpless look.

Zhong Wanxiu and Tang Tang also came out from inside. Tang Tang was five months pregnant and her pregnancy was quite noticeable. She walked slowly.

Fu Mosen led Xu Yuan inside, and little Xu Yuan called out "Grandma, Grandma!" and ran over to Zhong Wanxiu. This child was really very outgoing.

Xu Qingcheng said goodbye and was about to leave when Zhong Wanxiu quickly said, "Since you're here, please stay for a while."

Then, introducing Tangtang, he said, "This is your sister-in-law. You haven't met her before, have you?"

It's just a very normal introduction.

But for some reason, it just felt strange.

Tang Tang greeted Xu Qingcheng with a smile.

As Xu Qingcheng was leaving, she said goodbye to Xu Yuan and bent down to kiss the child.

Zhong Wanxiu asked, "Should I have Jingting take you?"

"No need, I called a taxi." Xu Qingcheng had already called a taxi while she was in the car, and the taxi had arrived.

Fu Jingting grabbed her wrist. "Xu Yuan, stay with me for the night. Will you pick her up tomorrow, or should I take her there?"

Xu Qingcheng thought for a moment, "Just send it to Jinliu Bay directly, my mother will be home."

"And you?"

What situation does she need to report to him?

Xu Qingcheng pulled her wrist away, turned around, and got into a taxi.

Fu Jingting stood still, squinting as he looked over. He couldn't even see the rear of the car anymore. No one knew what he was thinking, but he didn't move.

Zhong Wanxiu glanced at him. "You're not allowed to pursue her?"

"..."

"I can't even catch up with my wife, what am I good for all day long?"

A heavy-handed rant from my mom.

Xu Qingcheng and Song Chang met up on the shopping street; it had been a long time since they had gone shopping together.

Looking at her outfit, Song Chang noticed that the dress wasn't revealing at all, but for some reason, it had an inexplicable allure on Xu Qingcheng.

She seems to be born with allure, with a bit of her arms and legs showing, and her bust and waistline making people incredibly envious.

The two went shopping for clothes, and Xu Qingcheng chose a size larger than before, grumbling that she needed to lose weight.

Song Chang said angrily, "If I were only fat in the chest, I would love it."

"The problem is my waist is fat too." Xu Qingcheng glanced at her, pursed her lips and teased her, "Why don't you ask Song Xingzhi to massage it for you more, then it will be fine."

"You're crazy!" Song Chang teased her with a laugh. "Then tell me, who rubbed this on you?"

"It's something I was born with," Miss Xu said proudly.

The two bought clothes for the changing season, and also bought a set for Xu Yuan, as well as a mother-daughter outfit. Song Chang watched her try on the dress, imagining little Xu Yuan next to her, and was extremely envious.

"Ahhh, I really want a beautiful baby too, so we can wear matching mother-daughter outfits and take lots of photos."

"Then give birth." Xu Qingcheng had the baby packed up as soon as she finished testing it.

Song Chang pouted, "Fine, I can just borrow your clothes and Xu Yuan."

"Are you and Song Xingzhi planning to stay like this forever? Be careful, it might actually happen."

Xu Qingcheng reached out and lifted her collar, revealing clear hickeys.

Song Chang blushed and slapped Xu Qingcheng's hand away. She remembered that last night at the old house, her brother had gone crazy and actually went into her room.

With her parents present, he tormented her relentlessly, ignoring her pleas for mercy.

She was terrified, but despite her extreme fear, she found it incredibly exciting.

"Look at you, your legs are all spread apart when you walk today," Xu Qingcheng teased Song Chang.

Mature women, what don't they understand? Sometimes, when close friends talk, they don't care about boundaries.

"What, envious?" Song Chang glanced at him. "How long has it been since you've had a man?"

"Mind your own business. I've made enough wishes."

"Don't act like you're completely satisfied. You're really not planning to look for someone else?" Song Chang leaned closer. "You haven't even started, how do you know it won't work? Everyone knows a few scumbags when they're young. You only know how to choose after you've seen through them."

"Seriously, it's fine to go on a date, chat, or watch a movie, just to kill some time."

"Do you think I'm free? I'm very busy, okay? The first round of the competition for Gu Youzhenpin is about to start, and I'm about to collapse from rushing to finish the design drafts." Xu Qingcheng twisted her waist and bumped into Song Chang, clearly rejecting him.

"You still live with your parents?"

"Yeah. Yuan Yuan and I moved out. The house was too crowded, and it got chaotic with so many people. My parents are used to peace and quiet." Xu Qingcheng sighed. "I haven't even settled things at Xinghe Bay yet. There's just so much to do. I don't have the mood for romance."

"Anyway, you have a ton of excuses." Song Chang winked at her. "So, I won't ask for your permission either."

"What?"

Song Chang refused to say anything until they sat down to eat and saw the two handsome young men sitting opposite her. Miss Xu was stunned.

Song Chang introduced them to her, saying that these two were both newcomers in the entertainment industry, whom she had met when she was transferred to cover entertainment news some time ago, and that they had a promising future.

The man sitting next to Xu Qingcheng is named Xiao Chengyun. Perhaps because he is young, he has really good features, good skin, red lips and white teeth, long legs, and is over 1.8 meters tall.

With such good looks and height, you can imagine how many girls will swoon over him in the future.

The other Wang Anran is just like Song Chang; he's a sunny young man straight out of a comic book.

In short, both young men were fresh and appealing, and more importantly, they had incredibly sweet tongues, calling each other "sister" repeatedly and being extremely attentive.

Even though Xu Qingcheng is four or five years older than Song Chang, they don't look out of place sitting together at all; their looks and figures are more than enough.

Xiao Chengyun praised, "Sister, if you were to develop your career in the entertainment industry, you'd probably cause a sensation."

"Your sister isn't just a pretty face. You might run into her again someday. She's a famous jewelry designer. Once she becomes famous, countless female celebrities will be vying for her endorsements." Song Chang praised her without reservation.

Xu Qingcheng is really something; Song Chang, with his silver tongue honed in the media industry, can make the dead seem alive.

"Really? You're that amazing, sister?" Wang Anran exclaimed in surprise. "The company even arranged for Chengyun to audition for a jewelry company's endorsement a while ago. It's not just female celebrities' world anymore."

Xu Qingcheng turned to look at Xiao Chengyun, "Really? Which company?"

"Gu Youzhenpin," Xiao Chengyun said with a smile. "I've seen your name before, sister."

He took out his phone and showed a picture, asking, "Is this piece my sister's?"

"Oh, it really is. This is one of the shortlisted entries." Xu Qingcheng said in surprise, "Is this a sample photo?"

In the photo, Xiao Chengyun is holding a necklace in his hand, the pendant sliding off his clenched fingers and settling on his four fingers. He gently kisses it, as if kissing a woman's neck.

The guy in the photo has eyeliner on and his eyes are glancing at the camera. It looks very posed, but he's undeniably handsome. His gaze is both alluring and wicked, full of expressiveness, and it's easy for women to scream.

And you know what? Men endorsing women's jewelry is a novel approach, and it's incredibly eye-catching.

"Gu's selected many people and filmed different themes. They all used newcomers for the shoot. I don't know if I will be selected in the end," Xiao Chengyun explained.

"Very good! Although I haven't seen any other photos, your performance is excellent." Xu Qingcheng praised sincerely with a smile.

Because they were looking at their phones together, the two were very close. The woman's beautiful face was adorned with a smile, bright and captivating, stirring one's heart.

The young man couldn't help but swallow hard. His initial reluctance to be dragged into this social situation vanished completely. He proactively took out his phone and said, "Sister, let's add each other on WeChat."

"it is good."

They had seafood for lunch, and Song Chang ordered a bottle of dry white wine, saying it was a gold medal-winning wine that was best paired with seafood.

There was only one bottle of wine for the four of them to drink. Xu Qingcheng didn't intend to refuse, but the two children were so sensible and their attentive service was too meticulous and thorough.

Xu Qingcheng dared not drink it.

This is going to kill me.

She peeled the shrimp and held it right to her mouth, saying, "Sister, open your mouth."

Xu Qingcheng looked at the face so close to hers and leaned back in panic, "You eat, I can do it myself."

"Sister, you eat first."

"..."

Then he shoved a shrimp into her mouth, and Xu Qingcheng froze in embarrassment.

The most crucial thing was that the door to the private room was pushed open at that moment, and Fu Jingting stood there with his back to the light.

For a moment, Xu Qingcheng had the illusion that she had been caught cheating.

But... they didn't do anything.

No, she's single now!

However, without giving her any time to think, Fu Jingting grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.

"What are you doing? Are you about to make a move in public?" Song Chang spoke before Xu Qingcheng could say anything.

Fu Jingting glanced at her, then his gaze swept over the two young men beside him. "You keep playing. Song Xingzhi should be here soon."

Song Chang's skin tightened, and just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. It was his brother calling.

Fu Jingting's face was tense. Without saying a word, he grabbed Xu Qingcheng and dragged her out.

"What are you doing? Let go of me." Xu Qingcheng struggled for a moment.

She was clearly unwilling, so Xiao Chengyun immediately stood up, fearless as a newborn calf, and grabbed Fu Jingting's arm, saying, "My sister told you to let her go."

Fu Jingting lowered his gaze and coldly swept his eyes over the face. "This face is passable. If you don't want to ruin it, let go."

The threat in his tone was strong, and Xiao Chengyun's face darkened. The man's aura was so strong and cold that he didn't know whether to give in or not.

Xu Qingcheng gasped, "What gives you the right to threaten me? What's wrong with you?"

Fu Jingting waved his arm to shoo his hand away. He lowered his eyes to look at her, his face full of dark anger, his chest churning with jealousy, but he could only endure it.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "I wish I wouldn't eat, so you have to feed me."
