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

Ling Jiajia knew it would be difficult to get through to Xie Yin, so she took the video directly to Zhao Shuiyao.

Xie Yin could argue with her, but a woman would definitely be afraid of this kind of thing leaking out.

Sure enough, now it was Xie Yin's turn to take the initiative to approach her and negotiate with her.

Fu Jingting and Xu Qingcheng arranged to meet Xie Yin at a casual tea bar, where Xie Mingchen attended tutoring classes.

The family of three went out together. After entering, Xu Qingcheng hadn't even found Yin Ge's seat when Fu Jingting pulled her hand and sat her down in a booth.

"Has Brother Yin arrived yet?" Xu Qingcheng wanted to make a phone call, but Fu Jingting stopped her. He raised his chin and said, "He's over there. He has a friend there. Let's talk to him later."

Xu Qingcheng turned her head and saw the woman sitting opposite Xie Yin; it was the first time she had met Zhao Shuiyao.

I thought a woman who could only be a sexual partner to a man would be alluring, charming, and sharp, but she wasn't. With long hair and a simple chiffon dress, she was the kind of woman who was very domestic and gentle.

Her eyes were large, and they were red-rimmed at the moment. She wasn't crying, but she inexplicably looked pitiful.

"Miss Ling came to my workplace and even had someone contact my blind date to talk about us." Zhao Shuiyao lightly picked at the back of her hand with her fingers. "We've broken up. Please tell Miss Ling that."

"I'm sorry." Xie Yin rubbed his temples in annoyance. "I'll handle it as soon as possible. I didn't expect it to affect your life."

Zhao Shuiyao didn't say anything. She couldn't say it was okay because it did have an impact.

She wasn't that open-minded; her relationship with Xie Yin... was a derailment under special circumstances, and she didn't expect it to have such a lasting impact.

Xie Mingchen came in carrying a bag and immediately spotted Xu Yuan. He glanced in Xie Yin's direction but didn't go over. Instead, he walked directly towards Xu Qingcheng and the others.

"Uncle and Auntie."

"Brother Mingchen!"

Seeing Xie Mingchen dancing with joy, Xu Yuan exclaimed in a clear voice, "Brother Mingchen!" in a voice so sweet it made her teeth ache.

Fu Jingting glanced at the little girl beside him and clicked his tongue.

Xu Yuan jumped off the sofa, squeezed past Fu Jingting's legs, and crawled to Xie Mingchen's side, looking up at him happily, "Brother Mingchen."

Having grown up playing with Xie Mingchen since childhood, their relationship is naturally special. After not seeing each other for so long, he must miss her terribly.

Xie Mingchen patted her little head, squatted down to be at her eye level, and asked with a smile, "Xu Yuan, have you missed your brother?"

"think!"

The crisp, loud sound, combined with the little girl's giggles, was very soothing.

Xie Mingchen chuckled and pinched her cheek, his fingers gently touching her ear. "Does your ear still hurt? Can you hear now?"

Xu Yuan isn't quite able to express himself accurately and completely yet, but he answered readily, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Mingchen, please sit down. Your father has some friends here, we'll go over in a bit." Xu Qingcheng moved over to make room for the two of them, and Xie Mingchen took Xu Yuan's hand and sat down.

Fu Jingting sat opposite Xie Mingchen, his arm around Xie Mingchen's, staring at him with an unfriendly gaze.

Xu Qingcheng kicked him hard, "You better watch yourself."

What kind of expression is this when you look at a child?

The waiter came over and served tea and snacks. Xu Qingcheng took a small towel from the side to wipe Xu Yuan's hands.

Turning his head, he saw Xie Mingchen had already taken the towel beside him. He grabbed Xu Yuan's hand as she reached for the snacks, smiling, "Yuan Yuan, would you like some?"

"I want to eat it."

"You have to wipe your little hands clean before you eat, or you'll get sick," he instructed as he wiped her hands.

Xu Qingcheng looked at it and smiled, "Mingchen is so thoughtful."

When Fu Jingting heard her say that, he glanced over there. This kid looked a lot like Xie Yin, with makeup on his face, which looked obviously messy.

Xie Mingchen wiped Xu Yuan's hands before letting her go get the snacks.

I wish I had short arms and was too short to reach it.

Xie Mingchen smiled and asked her, "Which one do you want? I'll get it for you."

"Red."

Xie Mingchen then gave the red pastries to Xu Yuan so she could eat them herself.

Xu Qingcheng smiled. She had recently developed a fondness for sweets. She took a piece, took a bite, then frowned and reluctantly placed it on the small plate in front of her.

Fu Jingting looked at her, "Why aren't you eating? Does it taste bad?"

He took a piece to try himself, and it was alright.

"I'm afraid of gaining weight if I eat too much," Xu Qingcheng said dejectedly. "I've already gained five or six pounds."

"Five or six pounds is normal, you have two little gluttons in your belly." Fu Jingting laughed, he reached across the table to pinch her cheek, "Besides, you're not fat, a little bit of meat is just right, you're a lucky charm for your husband."

"Nonsense."

Xu Qingcheng wrinkled her nose and laughed. She picked up the tea and snacks and asked him, "Shall I eat them? Don't you dare complain that I'm fat."

Xie Mingchen looked up at the two of them, then silently looked away. He glanced at Xu Yuan, who was eating snacks and seemed completely unaffected, and smiled.

She's too young to understand.

But he already understood that he had never experienced such a warm and sweet family atmosphere that gave him goosebumps.

Suddenly I realized that Lao Xie has had a tough time.

Xie Mingchen turned his head to look at the two people over there.

He'd been looking at her for a while, so Xu Qingcheng asked him, "Mingchen, do you know that lady?"

"I've met him once."

Xie Mingchen turned back to him. "Uncle and Aunt, are you looking for my father?"

"Well, he has friends here, let's wait a bit." The atmosphere was just too special, otherwise we would have just gone over to say hello.

Xie Mingchen picked up Xu Yuan and placed her on the sofa, then got up and walked over.

Xu Qingcheng couldn't stop him, and saw Xie Mingchen walk up to Xie Yin's table, politely greet Aunt Zhao Shuiyao, and then tell his father, "Dad, Xu Yuan's parents are here and waiting for you over there."

Meeting Xie Yin here was unexpected; Zhao Shuiyao was unaware that he had made an appointment with someone else.

She hurriedly stood up. "I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Xie. I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible."

She paused, then said in a low voice, "Don't let Miss Ling come looking for me again. I don't want to change jobs."

Zhao Shuiyao left in a hurry, not giving him a chance to say another word.

After everyone left, Xu Qingcheng got up and came over, "Brother Yin."

Fu Jingting followed behind, carrying Xu Yuan in his arms. Xie Yin's anger flared up the moment he saw him.

"Brother Yin, he didn't mean it," Xu Qingcheng explained. "He has already told the lawyers that he will no longer get involved in this case."

With Xie Mingchen present, Xu Qingcheng couldn't be too direct about many things, after all, he was Mingchen's mother.

Xie Mingchen seemed to know that they were being considerate of him when they spoke, so he took Xu Yuan's hand and led her to look at the little fish in the water feature.

Xie Yin just couldn't understand it. "Fu Jingting, can I ask you one question? What did I do to you that you're helping Ling Jiajia to mess with me?"

Fu Jingting paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Your ex-wife still has feelings for you, and I just wanted to push things together so that you two could get back together."

Xie Yin looked at him coldly and snorted, clearly not believing him.

Fu Jingting coughed lightly, "And let Xu Qingcheng know what kind of person you are, so she can recognize you early and stay far away from you. But... our Qingcheng has better judgment; even if you and Ling Jiajia don't get back together, she still hasn't taken a liking to you!"

Xie Yinzhen's mother wanted to grab a teacup and splash it in his face.

Does he... speak without thinking?!

Xu Qingcheng angrily slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about! There's nothing between Yin Ge and me."

"Yes, of course I know." Fu Jingting glanced at her. "No wonder you didn't react when you saw him hugging Ling Jiajia back then."

Xie Yin: "Holy crap, when?"

Xu Qingcheng, "..." Back then, he... he...

Xu Qingcheng only now understood why he had said those inexplicable things back then...

She pressed her hand to her temple; her head ached.

Regardless of whether Yin Ge accepts it or not, Fu Jingting was forced by Xu Qingcheng to apologize.

When they left, Xie Mingchen took Xu Yuan's hand and escorted her to the car, then knelt down to say goodbye.

Little Wishing gave Xie Mingchen a quick kiss on the cheek, "Bye-bye, Brother Mingchen."

"May you pray."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Jingting had already picked up Xu Yuan and shoved her into the car.

Xu Qingcheng took Xu Yuan and glanced at him.

After the car drove off, she complained to him, speechless, "What are you doing? Two kids are saying goodbye, didn't you see?"

"What's the point of saying goodbye? Xu Yuan is still so young, he'll forget about it in a while."

"What kind of twisted logic is that?" Xu Qingcheng rolled her eyes. "You're really something. Mingchen knew Xu Yuan even before you did. When she was little, I always left her with Brother Yin, and it was always Mingchen who played with her."

Although they are not yet two years old, before that time, these two children really acted like one parent's child.

Mingchen is the older brother, and Xuyuan is the younger sister.

Moreover, because Xu Yuan has hearing loss in one ear, Ming Chen is more patient with her than her mother, playing with her and telling her stories.

Xu Qingcheng's words only intensified Fu Jingting's resentment.

He missed the days from the time he was born until now, which may be a lifelong regret. Time that has passed can never be returned.

As soon as she said it, Xu Qingcheng realized her words were inappropriate and too hurtful. She quickly added in a coquettish tone, "Oh dear, there's nothing we can do about the past. But don't worry, honey, you'll definitely be the first to see the two babies in my belly."

Fu Jingting ignored her.

Xu Qingcheng had to coax him back by both pleading and apologizing.

The air conditioning in the carriage was on full blast, making it cool and comfortable.

The atmosphere was warm and cozy; she was carrying twins and holding one in her arms.

Fu Jingting felt happy no matter how he thought about it.

He took Xu Yuan and hugged her, reaching out to embrace her and letting her lean on his shoulder.

The driver suddenly said, "Young Master Fu, there's a car following us. Not just one, it must have changed cars."

Fu Jingting hurriedly looked back, and Xu Qingcheng also wanted to look, but he pulled her back. He let her lean against his chest and whispered, "Don't look."

The man frowned, his eyelids twitched, and he felt a surge of panic.

His expression was cold and stern as he instructed the driver, "Don't go back the way we came; head towards the city center."

The driver wasn't just a driver; he was someone Zhou Qian had previously transferred over, so he still had a good sense of awareness.

The driver responded and tried to turn around ahead, but two cars suddenly rushed in from both sides, forcing the car onto the elevated road.

"Young Master Fu, they came prepared." The driver was a little anxious. "This place is a bit far from our area, and it's too late to send reinforcements."

Fu Jingting's face turned pale, but he wasn't afraid since he was the only one in the car.

But both Qingcheng and Xuyuan are still there.

Fu Jingting dared not gamble.

"After you get off the overpass, drive towards Jinzhou," Fu Jingting instructed, while simultaneously calling Duan Heng to personally arrange for someone to come and meet you.

"I understand," Duan Heng replied. He glanced at the time and went to make the arrangements without saying another word.

Fu Jingting pursed his lips tightly, and the car behind him followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, refusing to give up.

Xu Qingcheng noticed his tense expression. "What's wrong? Is it Fu Hongxin?"

Fu Jingting shook his head, holding Xu Yuan tightly in his arms. "It doesn't seem like it. This blatant method... is more like something a gangster would use."

Provoke him?!

Fu Jingting's face turned cold, but this was not the time for a head-on confrontation.

The driver dared not act recklessly on the elevated road. Being too restrained, he lost the initiative. Just as the car was driving off the elevated bridge, it was suddenly hit repeatedly on the rear door by a vehicle traveling normally from the side.

Fu Jingting reached out and hugged Xu Qingcheng tightly, his teeth clenched.

With a bang, the car spun almost halfway around.

Xu Qingcheng cried out as she was jolted forward.

"A beauty that could topple empires!"

Fu Jingting reached out and grabbed her arm forcefully, but he still couldn't stop her from hitting her forehead against the car window with a thud.

The next moment, Fu Jingting was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. With a bang, the car window on the side of her head pierced through a round hole, and then... crashed... shattered.

Xu Qingcheng was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound.

One of the tires blew out, and the car spun around and almost flipped over before being hit by another car and brought back.

The other person seems to be teasing you as if they're playing a game with you.

Fu Jingting tried to protect Xu Yuan but couldn't, and Xu Yuan burst into tears.

Xu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, "You have a good eye on Xu Yuan."

The chase lasted for about ten minutes. When the car that Duan Heng had arranged came to pick them up, all the vehicles suddenly disappeared.

Xu Qingcheng was pressed against the carriage door, and she slid to the ground. She clutched her stomach, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xu Qingcheng yelled, "Quick, take me to the hospital. Hurry!"

The person who opened the car door was stunned by her shout and hadn't even reacted when she was pulled away. Fu Jingting handed Xu Yuan to Duan Heng, saying, "Take care of her for me."

He picked Xu Qingcheng up and drove her to the hospital in another car.

"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?" Fu Jingting gripped her hand tightly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Xu Qingcheng was in so much pain that her vision blurred. She couldn't even tell if her stomach hurt or not. She had just bumped her waist, and the pain started from her back and spread throughout her body, making her feel numb all over.

Even speaking requires immense effort.

"Honey...it hurts..."

She called out to him, her forehead covered in sweat from the pain.

Fu Jingting hugged her tightly and kissed Xu Qingcheng's forehead. "Qingcheng, we're going to the hospital right away. Everything will be alright."

"I'll be alright, the baby'll be alright... Jingting, we'll be alright, right?"

She placed her hand on her stomach, her voice choked with sobs, tears welling in her eyes.

"Everything will be alright. You'll be alright, and they'll be alright too," Fu Jingting reassured him, his voice trying to remain calm, though his forehead was covered in sweat.

The car sped into the nearest hospital.

He carried the person and ran towards the emergency room.

A person was pushed into the hospital examination room.

Emergency exit

Fu Jingting stood in the hospital corridor, drenched in cold sweat. In the sweltering summer heat, his blood felt ice-cold.

The man's fingers tightened, tightened even more, and finally he slammed his fist heavily against the wall.

Duan Heng arrived a little late, but he still brought Xu Yuan with him.

The little girl was terrified by the car accident and cried out for her parents, sobbing and trembling. She started crying as soon as she saw Fu Jingting.

"Daddy, I want my daddy."

Duan Heng carried her over, "Young Master Fu."

Fu Jingting picked Xu Yuan up and placed his large hand on the back of the little girl's head. "Xu Yuan, don't cry. Mommy will be sad if she sees you crying when she comes out. Be good, don't cry."
