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

"What did you say?"

"Miss Fu is a smart woman. Do you really think a man doesn't know who he's slept with? He just doesn't want to break the balance and hopes to let it go. We're all adults; we understand. Why pretend not to know?" Lin Yuanqing looked at Fu Sichen. "He's going to marry me. The child in my belly is the legitimate child of the Yu family. The child you're carrying is a bastard, an illegitimate child. He can't possibly want it. If you still have any shame and care about his reputation, then you should handle it yourself and not cause him any trouble."

Fu Sichen's face suddenly turned pale, and his chest felt as if a hole had been dug out, causing him excruciating pain and bleeding profusely.

She clenched her teeth so tightly they rattled, and her eyes were red as she stared at Lin Yuanqing.

Lin Yuanqing felt uneasy under her gaze, but still casually tossed her hair and said, "If it weren't for the friendship between him and your second brother, he wouldn't care how he says these things to you. He's trying his best to save face for you."

"Alright, I've delivered the message." Lin Yuanqing stood up. "I'm leaving now."

Fu Sichen stared intently at her retreating figure and suddenly asked, "That day, the porridge I drank, was it you who put the abortion pill in it?"

Lin Yuanqing turned around, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Fu Sichen with a half-smile. "I didn't know you were pregnant. To be honest, I only found out when you went to the hospital with stomach pains. But..."

She paused deliberately. "Shi Nan already knew, because he saw you during our prenatal checkup, but I thought he was seeing things. Why ask? You should know perfectly well that in his territory, who would dare to openly resort to such underhanded tactics?"

Lin Yuanqing covered her mouth and chuckled, her tone laced with sarcasm.

Fu Sichen's face was stiff and cold. She pointed outside and told Lin Yuanqing to get out of there.

The nanny brought in tea, but Lin Yuanqing had already left. Seeing Fu Sichen's face turn ashen with anger, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Fu Sichen didn't say anything. She grabbed her phone, turned around, and went back to her room.

Charge the phone and turn it on.

My hands were shaking when I turned it on.

She retrieved the phone number and dialed it directly.

"You can tell me what you want to say directly. What's the point of having others stab me in the heart!" Fu Sichen roared angrily. "I never wanted this child in the first place, and I don't need anyone to take responsibility. It has nothing to do with any of you!"

Click!

The phone hangs up.

Yu Shinan was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Fu Jingting, "Is the Han family denying it?"

"Last night, the Han family asked a middleman to speak to my parents, hoping to facilitate the marriage. Otherwise, I would have gone there directly today. The Han family is more than happy to see this happen; since we already have a child, we can get married first." Fu Jingting wiped his brow with his finger. "Anyway, they don't need to take care of the child; she can continue her schooling after the birth, so it won't affect anything."

Yu Shinan frowned deeply. "Is she willing?"

"Why wouldn't she want to be pregnant?" Fu Jingting, having also heard Fu Sichen's voice on Yu Shinan's phone call, couldn't help but frown. "What was she doing just now?"

"She said she wasn't responsible, and she didn't want the child anyway." Yu Shinan's temples twitched slightly. "Did she dial the wrong number? Don't always think what you think is best. Si Chen isn't young anymore; she has her own ideas. We should listen to her. How old is she? Is it really necessary for her to get married like this?"

"Listen to her?" Fu Jingting scoffed, clearly unconvinced.

Yu Shinan didn't discuss the topic with him anymore, but the thought of her getting married made her feel very uncomfortable.

Han Yi.

That kid wasn't particularly considerate of Si Chen.

Yu Shinan shook his head, turning his thoughts back, "This is the person who has been looking for Chen Da recently. Wei Jingwu and Fu Hongxin are connected. I'm not sure what kind of cooperation they have, but you should be careful."

Fu Jingting took the photo that Yu Shinan handed him. He looked at the people in the photo, including a driver who had been present during the car crash.

Fu Jingting pointed at the photos and handed them to Duan Heng, saying, "Take a look at how close they are to Fu Hongxin. Don't let him sneak around and do anything underhanded."

After Fu Jingting left, Yu Shinan stared at his phone for a long time, momentarily lost in thought.

Si Chen's words were incoherent, but you could tell she was in a bad mood.

Does she not want to get married? Does she not want to have children?

He wanted to call back and ask again, but Cui Wenxuan rushed over and said that Yu Qian had an accident.

Yu Shinan was in a hurry to deal with the situation and for a moment forgot about Fu Sichen's phone call.

……

Yu Qian is young and impetuous, and it's a good thing for young people to have spirit, which is understandable. However, it's another matter if he gets in other people's way.

Cui Wenxuan said that Yu Qian was running a logistics business in the South City area and Wei Jingwu had his eye on him, wanting to get a share of the profits from Yu Qian. Neither side would give in, so a fight broke out.

Yu Shinan arrived and stared at the man standing by the door, Li Shang.

Yu Shinan wasn't familiar with this person, but now he wasn't unfamiliar with him either. Yu Qian was pinned against the wall by his arm, his face already beaten so badly that his true colors were unrecognizable.

Yu Shinan looked sharply at Li Shang, "Let him go."

"Hey, Brother Nan, we've got you here." Li Shang smiled, glancing at Yu Qian. "It's not that I don't want to let him go, but you can't be ignorant of the rules of the underworld, can you? This kid has been provoking us time and time again, and we brothers just couldn't stand it anymore. We can let him go, but he won't remember unless he's taught a lesson."

"What kind of lesson do you want to teach him?" Yu Shinan asked coldly.

"Leave one hand behind."

Cui Wenxuan took a step forward with a dark expression. "Li Shang, don't go too far. Where did Yu Qian overstep his bounds? There are so many companies in this logistics park; everyone earns their living through their own abilities."

"Yes, that's because his surname is Yu." Someone suddenly burst out laughing.

Yu Shinan, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his eyes. He took a step forward, and the people next to him abruptly fell silent.

"Li Shang, release him. Let's do business honestly and keep to ourselves." Yu Shinan grabbed the man's face. "What parts does Yu Qian need today? I'll use yours to make up for it."

Li Shang scoffed, "Brother Nan, we brothers treat you with respect, and you really think you're something special?"

He's been living a better and better life by following Wei Jingwu's side for the past two years, and he doesn't take Yu Shinan seriously at all. Uncle Wei said he'd give Yu Shinan some eye drops and drag him into the police station, otherwise, if he stays out of it, the matter will be difficult to handle.

Li Shang took out a knife from his waist and suddenly swung it towards Yu Qian's hand.

Yu Qian let out a bloodcurdling scream as his little finger was severed at the root. He cursed, "Fuck your ancestor Li Shang!"

Yu Shinan didn't expect Li Shang to make a move so directly. He kicked Li Shang, grabbed his wrist, and the knife fell into Yu Shinan's hand. The man turned around and stabbed the knife directly into Li Shang's palm.

Screams and curses rang out simultaneously. Yu Shinan didn't stop. He shoved Li Shang's head directly against the window, the glass slamming against his head with a cracking sound. Yu Shinan pulled out the knife that was embedded in Li Shang's palm and plunged it into Li Shang's shoulder blade.

Yu Qian was pulled aside by Cui Wenxuan. He held his severed finger in his hand, crying and cursing, but he was still impressed by Yu Shinan's fighting spirit.

His cheek was stained with blood, making him look like a chilling Yama in the dark. The men Li Shang brought were blocked by Cui Wenxuan's men and couldn't get close, so they could only watch helplessly as Yu Shinan tortured him.

Li Shang screamed and cursed like a ghost.

Yu Qian's scalp tingled with pain. He grabbed Cui Wenxuan's arm with his fingers. "Brother Xuan, aren't you going to stop them?"

Cui Wenxuan glanced at Yu Shinan but didn't say anything. He didn't stop him. Li Shang was too arrogant. Yu Shinan no longer had any feelings for Lin Yuanqing.

That was also the woman Yu Shinan was planning to marry.

Cui Wenxuan looked at Yu Qian and said, "Take good care of your finger and go to the hospital to see if it can be reattached."

Yu Qian was sent away first.

Li Shang was nearly killed by Yu Shinan before Cui Wenxuan pulled him back, saying, "Don't let him get his hands dirty."

Yu Shinan stopped, and Li Shang, unable to stand, collapsed to the ground. The man squatted down beside him, saying, "You think I'm a pushover if I don't fight back?!"

Li Shang spat out a mouthful of cold air and sneered, "If you're so capable, don't resort to underhanded tactics."

"You can't even win with underhanded tactics, and you expect to win fair and square?" Yu Shinan pressed one hand on his thigh, his fingers pressing hard on the wound on Li Shang's shoulder blade. "Whether I'm a hot potato or not isn't up to you! Go back and tell Wei Jingwu that I'm just doing my business honestly and have no intention of coming out of retirement. If you keep provoking me, even if I don't come out of retirement, I can still make sure you can't get hard again."

Yu Shinan narrowed his eyes, pressed his palm against his thigh, stood up, and then kicked Li Shang in the crotch.

Cui Wenxuan, "..."

That's ruthless.

It hurts.

After the group left, Cui Wenxuan looked at Yu Shinan and said, "They're just trying to cause trouble. You never paid them any attention before. Now, aren't you just giving them an opportunity to cause trouble?"

Yu Shinan wiped his hands with a wet wipe and remained silent.

Cui Wenxuan looked at him, "I thought you didn't care, but it seems you still care about Lin Yuanqing. However, this woman..."

"It has nothing to do with her."

Yu Shinan threw away the tissue in his hand and looked out the car window.

The man's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his mind filled with the little girl's voice.

Brother Nan.

"Have you investigated the Han family's situation?"

"I've checked, and he's honest and upright, with no major flaws. However, Han Yi's branch of the family isn't very powerful, so Han Yi's parents are naturally happy to see a marriage alliance with the Fu family. With the Fu family backing them up, Miss Fu shouldn't suffer any losses in the future," Cui Wenxuan replied in detail, adding, "And as you said, I've also had someone put eye drops on Han Yi."

Cui Wenxuan sighed, "This kid is pretty stubborn. He only admitted the child was his after he was practically crippled. But you never know when it comes to feelings. Even if he admits it now, he'll still suffer if his heart isn't with Miss Fu later. You can't help her in the long run."

Yu Shinan turned his head to look out, "Helping him for now is good enough. Han Yi is too young. In time, he will realize how good Si Chen is. He should be content to have a woman who loves him wholeheartedly."

Yu Shinan lowered his head and smiled, "Not everyone has that kind of luck."

Cui Wenxuan looked at him, thought of Lin Yuanqing, and sighed softly.

"Lin Yuanqing, what are you planning to do? Keeping her around is just a menace."

Yu Shinan nodded, and Cui Wenxuan knew that he would handle this matter himself and that there was no need to worry.

"What kind of woman are you looking for? I can introduce you to someone." Cui Wenxuan looked at him.

"We'll see."

Yu Shinan chuckled, leaned back, and closed his eyes wearily.

Cui Wenxuan drove off without bothering him any further.

The car sped along, the window slightly open, letting in the sound of the wind.

Fu Sichen hugged his arm and shook it, her voice sweet and soft, "Brother Nan, ahhh, I really want to eat something delicious, will you make it for me?"

Yu Shinan frowned. He tried to pull his arm back, but she was holding him too tightly. He felt his whole arm burning, so he had no choice but to scold her to let go.

Her lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes; she looked incredibly pitiful.

Yu Shinan thought to himself that he hadn't raised his voice, clicked his tongue, and couldn't help but try to comfort her again, rubbing his fingers against her eyes to stop her from crying, the water droplets wetting his fingers.

His fingertip touched her lips, and she suddenly bit his hand hard.

It left a ring of teeth marks.

Then he used the tip of his tongue to lick it.

Everything suddenly spiraled out of control; he went berserk, pinning the person against the wall and kissing them fiercely.

"Brother Nan...no..."

"Brother Nan!"

"Brother Nan!"

The little girl's pitiful and frail pleas ignited a fire within him.

Yu Shinan suddenly sat up straight.

Cui Wenxuan glanced back. "What's wrong?"

Yu Shinan's chest heaved violently, his hands clenched into fists, his temples throbbed with pain, and his whole body was burning hot.

He closed his eyes tightly. "It's okay."
