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

When she came back in the morning, she darted back to her room without moving. Luckily, her room had a separate shower room, so she could take a shower.

Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at my body; my fair skin was covered with hickeys.

Fu Sichen couldn't hold back her tears; none of what happened last night should have happened to her.

The woman Nan-ge wants is not her.

The physical pain is nothing compared to the wound in my heart; such intimate contact would only happen with another woman.

Lin Yuanqing called her a bitch, and she couldn't find any words to refute her.

Firstly, she wasn't one to use such vulgar language, and secondly, she knew that Nan-ge didn't want to sleep with her.

Just thinking about it broke her heart. Fu Sichen squatted down, the faucet was running, and she hugged herself and sobbed uncontrollably, her cries mingling with the sound of the running water.

No one knew she was crying.

The person in the mirror had swollen, red eyes from crying, like a little rabbit. Si Chen looked at her face in the mirror, her fingers lightly touching her lips, which were swollen from being bitten by her teeth, but he didn't kiss her lips.

She was in a lot of pain, and they had done the most intimate thing together, yet she still had her first kiss.

Does he not want her to speak because he doesn't even want to hear her voice?

As girls grow up, they often fantasize about these things, imagining gentle treatment, flowers and shyness, the fusion of body and soul, something so beautiful it makes them laugh out loud.

She never imagined she would be like this, mistaken for someone else in the dark, her virginity pinned against the wall, without a soft bed, without flower petals, without tenderness, without anyone who loved her, and just like that, it was all gone.

Fu Sichen felt like crying again. She dragged her tired body to bed. Tears were cheap, and she cried herself to sleep.

In her half-awake state, she always dreamed of Brother Nan. He was holding her, his strong arms pulling her into his embrace, kissing away her tears, calling her Sichen, and saying all sorts of sweet words to coax her.

When I woke up, I knew it was all a dream.

Her eyes were so swollen she couldn't look at them. Afraid her mother would see her red and swollen eyes, she smeared a face mask covered in black mud.

She wasn't lying; she really did have a terrible headache.

After washing her face in the bathroom, Fu Sichen crawled into bed. She covered herself with the blanket, turned on the air conditioner, and drifted in and out of sleep.

The scene from last night replayed in her mind like a movie, filled with shame and embarrassment. She could still remember everything that Brother Nan had done to her, like a brand etched into her brain, a mixture of pain and pleasure, something she couldn't forget or erase completely.

It tormented her dreams.

"Where's Si Chen?" Fu Jingting asked.

"She said she was too tired from playing yesterday and didn't get enough sleep," Zhong Wanxiu muttered. "I wonder where she went to play. Never mind her."

No one in the family took it seriously. A girl in her early twenties has her own life and social circle, so it's normal for her to have fun occasionally.

Besides, Si Chen is well protected, her friends are simple, she doesn't have any messy circles, and she is sensible, so she is not afraid of being led astray.

Zhong Wanxiu looked at Xu Qingcheng's belly and said with a smile, "It really is twins. Your sister-in-law wasn't showing when she was four months pregnant, it's only this month that it's noticeable. Aren't you tired?"

Tangtang is about six months pregnant, and her belly is growing as big as a balloon.

Xu Qingcheng shook her head. "It's alright."

"Your father and I have discussed it. Our two families should have a meal together to hear your parents' thoughts and see if they have any further requests. Your belly is getting bigger, and since you've agreed to marry Jingting, we should get things done as soon as possible, so it will fulfill my wishes." Zhong Wanxiu looked at Xu Qingcheng. "What do you think?"

Xu Qingcheng nodded. She didn't really have any particular thoughts, but her parents were afraid that she would be wronged, so they didn't give Jingting a very nice look.

After all, what happened in the past is what everyone feels for their child.

"If you have any thoughts you can't tell me, just tell Jingting. This time, we must make sure it's done openly and honestly, and we can't let you feel wronged."

She looked up at Fu Jingting again, "Did you hear that?"

"I know. Mom, you're right." Fu Jingting added with a smile. He couldn't help but laugh at Qingcheng's submissive and obedient demeanor in front of Zhong Wanxiu.

He pinched her ear with his fingers. "Think carefully about what you need me to do."

Xu Qingcheng could be shameless in private, but she was very shy and blushed easily in front of outsiders.

She pushed his hand away and glanced at him sideways.

Even without her saying a word, he could almost hear her softly say "You're so annoying!"

The two exchanged flirtatious glances as if no one else was around, but Zhong Wanxiu just laughed it off.

Young people, who hasn't been through that stage?

Fu Pingxiu and Tang Tang brought Fu Mosen over. As soon as the car stopped, Fu Mosen ran in and called out, "Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, where's Xuyuan?"

"She's feeding the puppies with your grandpa in the backyard," Zhong Wanxiu said. Before she could finish her sentence, the little guy darted out.

Fu Pingxiu helped Tang Tang walk behind them. The brat turned around and rushed out, but his father grabbed him by the collar to prevent him from bumping into his mother.

"Where are you going?" The man's clear voice seemed to carry a hint of coolness in the summer heat.

"I'm going to find Xu Yuan and Grandpa."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Tang Tang chuckled, "I really didn't know he liked his sister so much."

Fu Pingxiu smiled slightly. He also liked his daughter; she was soft and sweet, just like her.

However, matters like having children cannot be forced.

Fu Pingxiu reached out and took Tang Tang's arm, leading her inside.

"Big brother, sister-in-law," Fu Jingting greeted first, and Xu Qingcheng followed suit.

Tang Tang's gaze swept over the two of them, and she said with a smile, "I saw Duan Heng's proposal photos last night. Uncle finally won her over."

Xu Qingcheng smiled shyly.

Fu Mosen found Xu Yuan behind him. Little Xu Yuan was overjoyed to see her brother and called out to him in her sweet, childlike voice.

Fu Mosen squatted down and watched the puppy with her for a while, then asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, my dad said that Xu Yuan will be called Fu Xu Yuan from now on."

Fu Pinghui hummed in agreement.

"Great, Xuyuan will take my surname."

Fu Jingting walked over and flicked him on the head. "You're something else, still using your surname. She uses her father's surname."

Fu Mosen covered his head, feeling frustrated. "Aren't they the same? They both have the surname Fu."

Fu Jingting snorted coldly, too lazy to explain to the brat.

He picked up Xu Yuan and tossed her up in the air. Xu Yuan giggled with delight, hugged Fu Jingting's neck, and sweetly called him "Daddy."

Looking behind her father and not seeing her mother, she asked, "Where's Mom?"

"He's in his room."

Fu Jingting called his father, saying that his older brother had also arrived and they were getting ready to eat.

The group walked forward, and Xu Qingcheng and Tang Tang chatted about things that pregnant women do and exchanged experiences.

When Xu Yuan saw her mother, she was about to go over when Fu Jingting carried her into the bathroom. He washed her hands and face and tidied her up before carrying her out.

Tangtang said with a smile, "My uncle is quite good at taking care of children; I really couldn't tell before."

Xu Qingcheng looked over and saw Xu Yuan running over, holding up her hand for her mother to smell.

"Mommy, Daddy put lotion on Yuanyuan. Smell it, does it smell good?"

Xu Qingcheng leaned closer to Xu Yuan's outstretched hand, took a deep breath, and praised, "So white and fragrant."

"Yuanyuan misses her mom." Xu Yuan snuggled closer to Xu Qingcheng. After all, she was still young, and she would feel wronged and miss her mom if she didn't see her for a day or two.

Xu Qingcheng held Xu Yuan in her arms, and the little girl pouted, wanting a kiss.

Qingcheng gave the little girl her usual kiss.

The beautiful mother and daughter made Tangtang green with envy.

After making her wish and giving her kisses, she looked at her father and asked, "Daddy, won't you kiss Mommy?"

Xu Qingcheng's face suddenly turned red, especially in front of the whole family.

Fu Jingting didn't seem to mind. He leaned over and kissed Xu Qingcheng and Xu Yuan on the forehead, smiling as he said, "Daddy's giving my two darlings a kiss."

If he's shameless, he's not ashamed, but she is.

Xu Qingcheng blushed and pinched him to make him stop.

Then, Xu Yuan asked with particular confusion, "Doesn't Daddy kiss Mommy on the lips?"

She pointed to her little mouth, thinking about how her father always hugged and kissed her mother at home.

Xu Qingcheng blushed instantly and scolded, "Xu Yuan, don't talk nonsense."

Tong Yan Wuji.

She said, "Don't be affectionate in front of children, it's really going to kill you."

Fu Jingting was taken aback. He liked kissing her, but that didn't mean he liked performing in public.

Looking at Xu Qingcheng's expression, he couldn't help but laugh. "Daddy will kiss Mommy when we get home, otherwise Mommy will be shy."

Xu Yuan turned to her mother and asked, "Why?"

Where is it and why?

Xu Qingcheng immediately turned and went to the restaurant; if she stayed any longer, her face would explode.

Tang Tang smiled with her lips pursed. When no one was paying attention, she moved closer to Fu Pingxiu and hooked her fingers around his. "Uncle and his wife are very loving."

"Hmm." The man hummed in response; he naturally hoped that his family would be well.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Tangtang bit her lip, leaned in and kissed his lips.

The man wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes darkening. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to kiss you." The woman tilted her head up, her voice sweet, her eyes crinkling as she gazed at him.

Fu Pingxiu's forehead tightened, and he loosely wrapped his arms around her waist, not daring to exert any force.

Tang Tang knew he was concerned about her health and had been enduring it all this time. She nestled into his arms and asked, "Honey, do you want a daughter?"

"Why are you suddenly asking that?"

"Seeing Qingcheng and Xuyuan, I'm so envious." She sighed, pouting. The checkup showed that this pregnancy was another son.

Fu Pingxiu smiled, knowing that it wasn't just Mo Sen who wanted a younger sister; she also wanted a daughter.

But fate is a complicated thing.

Tang Tang looked up at him and asked, "Should we consider having a third child?"

Fu Pingxiu lowered his eyes, "Let's unload this first. Don't you always complain about back pain? Besides, it might not be a boy."

Tang Tang pinched him; this man was too rational, he couldn't even fool her.

Actually, she was just saying it casually. She likes other people's children, but she only wants to take advantage of what others have and doesn't want to do it herself. Raising children is too tiring.

When everyone was present for dinner, Fu Mosen asked, "Where's my aunt?"

"Your aunt isn't feeling well and is sleeping."

After Zhong Wanxiu finished speaking, she felt that it wasn't right. "No, she hasn't eaten either. Let's go up and call her so she can eat before going to sleep."

The nanny went up to call, but after calling for a long time, only Fu Sichen came and said he wouldn't eat.

Zhong Wanxiu had someone leave her some food and then ignored her.

After dinner, the family chatted for a while. The two brothers, Fu Pinxiu and Fu Jingting, had something to say, so they went out for a bit.

Fu Pingxiu reminded Fu Jingting, "Fu Hongxin hasn't made any moves since he came out, but a barking dog doesn't bite. I wonder what kind of plan he's planning. Be careful."

"I know." Fu Jingting's gaze darkened slightly. "Is there any movement from Uncle's side?"

"No. He can't cause any trouble through the regular channels within the Fu family unless he takes a desperate gamble." Fu Pingxiu said coldly, "But if he dares, even the old man can't stop me."

Fu Jingting didn't say anything more. Sometimes, the choice isn't about right or wrong; everyone has a different perspective.

The old man had lived a long and eventful life, wise and shrewd, but they were all his children after all, and he couldn't bear to leave them behind.

But if they understood the old man's good intentions and stopped causing trouble, it would be good for them to settle down peacefully.

But no one can read minds and predict the future.

Fu Jingting left with Xu Qingcheng and Xu Yuan. On the way back, Xu Qingcheng suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jingting quickly looked at her.

Xu Qingcheng looked at him with her watery eyes, paused for a moment, and then said, "It seems to have moved."

"Really?" The man's eyes lit up.

He placed his hand on her stomach, but didn't feel anything special.

"It's very slight. I can feel it." Xu Qingcheng smiled at him. "You might not be able to feel it until you're a little older."

This is a privilege that mothers have, feeling the slight fetal movements of the little life inside their bellies, like bubbles coming out.

Fu Jingting withdrew his hand, then leaned down again, pressing his ear against her stomach to listen, not caring that they were still in the car and the driver would see.

He was still holding Xu Yuan in his arms, and she fell asleep.

His downward pressing motion made Xu Yuan kick uncomfortably.

Fu Jingting sat up straight again, marveling at the wonder of life. He stroked her belly and greeted the baby inside, "Baby, be considerate of Mommy and don't make Mommy uncomfortable."

Xu Qingcheng laughed as she listened. She suddenly leaned over and kissed his cheek, and the man tilted his head so she could kiss his lips.

A wicked glint in the man's eyes as he whispered in her ear, "I'll give you all the kisses you want when we get home."

Xu Qingcheng patted him with her hand, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Fu Sichen slept until evening, half-asleep and half-awake. He didn't actually sleep well, but after a whole day, his tired body had barely managed to rest.

I just felt a bit listless and lethargic, too lazy to move, so I lay in bed.

My legs still feel a burning pain when I move them.

Fu Sichen buried his face in the bedding, his forehead covered in sweat from the blankets.

She thought that matters between men and women should be gentle and peaceful, but she never expected it to be so barbaric and shocking.

Just thinking about it made her tremble. She was both shocked and scared. Nan Ge seemed drunk and crazy last night.

He eventually fell into a deep sleep, and she couldn't wake him up even when she tried to push him.

Fu Sichen didn't know how the two of them should face each other now that he was awake. Her mind was in turmoil, and she just wanted to calm down before talking to him.

But no matter how calm she tried, the thought of him doing those things with other women drove her mad with jealousy.

If she forces him to take responsibility for the way he treated her, he probably... wouldn't shirk his responsibility.

Fu Sichen closed his eyes; she had a chance to remind him that she wasn't the one he wanted.

She had the opportunity, but she deliberately didn't say it.

Fu Sichen didn't get up that night either. Zhong Wanxiu felt something was wrong with her and knocked on the door to take her to see a doctor.

Fu Sichen came out of the room and said she was fine, but she was hungry, so she went to eat. She drank a glass of milk and ate a fried egg, and then stopped eating.

"What's wrong with you, looking half-dead?" Zhong Wanxiu asked.

Fu Sichen pouted as she took a small sip of milk. Her mother's question made her feel wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mom, what if the person I like doesn't like me back?"
