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

The Han family made no excuses and offered to make Han Yi take responsibility. Their only request was that Han Yi and Fu Sichen get married as soon as possible so that the child could be born legitimately. Everything else could be discussed later, and everything would be based on the Fu family's opinion.

Fu Pinghui and Zhong Wanxiu hadn't expected them to react this way. Actually, they didn't have any conditions to set; their main wish was for Si Chen to be happy.

Han's father forced Han Yi to make a promise to Fu Sichen, saying that he would treat her well and not betray Fu Sichen's deep affection.

Fu Sichen was stunned when she heard the news. She asked Han Yi, "Why did you admit it?"

Han Yi scoffed, his eyes gleaming with untamed arrogance. "Then tell me, whose child is this bastard in your belly?"

Fu Sichen was enraged by his rude words. "You're the bastard!"

Han Yi crossed his arms and clicked his tongue, "It doesn't matter whether I admit it or not now, my family has already decided that he's mine."

Putting aside the people outside, even his parents thought he was making excuses, taking advantage of them and then denying everything, so they gave him a good beating.

"How could that be? Do you have a criminal record? How did you explain it to your parents? Why don't they believe you?" Fu Sichen was stunned. Even if she had initially said it was Han Yi's, she was convinced that as long as Han Yi didn't admit it, her family would only think that they had no feelings for each other, and the matter would be dropped.

Han Yi snorted, his expression unfriendly.

Fu Sichen has never participated in family management, and Fu Pinxiu wants to achieve a certain purpose by marrying into the Tang family.

In wealthy and powerful families, marriage alliances are mostly for the purpose of consolidating interests and hoping to make a profit. In recent years, the Han family has entered a bottleneck period. Several investment projects have failed, creating a series of pitfalls that almost dragged down their main business.

Because of this, the entire family became unstable, and everyone was thinking about splitting up and ruling separately.

Who wouldn't want to hug the Fu family's big tree? It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the child in Fu Sichen's belly is Han Yi's or not; what matters is whether Han Yi can acknowledge it.

For wealthy and powerful families, raising an illegitimate child is nothing difficult. The Fu family is just trying to improve Fu Sichen's reputation.

Each party gets what they need, and the Han family is naturally happy to see it happen.

"My parents have their eye on your family; they think you can support each other." Han Yi looked at Fu Sichen. "So there's no point in me denying it."

Fu Sichen looked unwell; she never imagined that a lie would lead to this.

"What should we do then?"

"Since we're going to get married sooner or later anyway, and I'm good-looking enough to be seen in public, why not just go with the flow and make a couple?" This time it was Han Yi's turn to persuade her.

He realized that even if things fell apart this time, he would inevitably face the same situation again after graduation.

Another woman from a prominent family bound him to marriage.

Fu Sichen glared at him, "Are you crazy?"

Han Yi raised an eyebrow. "Marrying me wouldn't be a bad deal for you. We're kind of like brothers in misfortune, helping each other out."

Fu Sichen didn't respond to him, but just stared at his phone, remembering what Lin Yuanqing had said.

It's impossible for Nan Ge to be completely unaware that she was the one who was there that night.

He didn't say anything, simply to save face for both of them.

Those words are so hurtful.

That's so heartbreaking.

She didn't even have the courage to confront him directly.

There was no reason given for the questioning.

She was nothing to him.

It was just a fling.

She had to truly and completely put a period to her own life.

If you're not meant to be with someone, don't dwell on it anymore.

Whatever it is, once it's over, leave no trace and never think about it again.

Yu Shinan learned about Fu Sichen and Han Yi's plans to hold their wedding abroad from Fu Jingting.

The two families have reached an agreement.

Si Chen was going to study abroad anyway, so a month or two wouldn't make a difference. She might as well go there sooner and get the paperwork done.

Yu Shinan called Fu Sichen, but couldn't get through, only to find out that the girl had blocked him.

He didn't contact her, but instead had Fu Jingting forward a wedding gift he had prepared for them.

It is an exquisite inside-painted ornament.

Fu Sichen received it and immediately threw it on the ground, where it shattered.

Her favorite inside-painted bottle.

He searched for a long time.

Fu Jingting glared at her. "Fu Sichen, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, I just don't like it." Fu Sichen turned and went back to his room.

She left very quickly, before everything was fully settled overseas, without even giving everyone time to say goodbye.

But after she left, Yu Shinan received the same abortion surgery form by mail.

Nobody knows who sent that surgery order.

However, after that, Yu Shinan went abroad for a trip.

No one knew what he did when he went out, only that after that, the underground forces in Ancheng began to be reshuffled.

……

Wen Fei used a knife several times; this woman is ruthless to herself.

However, when it comes to appearance, women are very tolerant of hardship and pain, and they are also very willing to make sacrifices.

She couldn't see anyone before. It wasn't a minor adjustment; it was a complete major surgery. Surgery, rest, and recovery take time.

Fu Hongxin was stunned when he saw the woman standing in his study, and for a moment he forgot to react.

Wen Fei smiled, her cat-like eyes exuding a bewitching charm; even a flick of her eye could intoxicate one.

Fu Hongxin felt as if his soul was being stolen away. He walked over, reached out and pinched her chin. "Brilliant!"

Wen Fei frowned. "You squeezed too hard."

"What, afraid I'll crush the outline you've painstakingly pieced together?" Fu Hongxin chuckled, pausing his hand movements and running his fingers across her profile, unable to resist clicking his tongue in admiration, "So alike!"

He reached his fingers down and slipped them inside her collar.

Wen Fei braced her hands on the edge of the table, her thin clothes being removed by the man, revealing her alluring body.

Fu Hongxin's eyes were filled with amazement and longing.

Looking at the greed in the man's eyes, Wen Fei felt a mix of emotions. A woman's appearance and figure are always the first things a man notices.

You can't deny it, men are always superficial.

Wen Fei looked at Fu Hongxin, her fingers hooking around his clothes, "No one should recognize me when I go out, right?"

"I can give you a new identity," Fu Hongxin said with a smile, reaching out to pull the man close. "How will you thank me?"

Wen Fei braced her arms on the table, her legs wrapped around Fu Hongxin's waist. "What do you want?"

Fu Hongxin stared at that face, his eyes bloodshot.

……

Xu Qingcheng had been trying to protect her pregnancy for the past few months, and Fu Jingting hadn't kept her in the dark about what was happening outside.

He's no saint, and if anyone messes with those around him, Fu Jingting has no reason to let them live.

However, the people who did the fighting all had connections with Wei Jingwu, and even sending them to jail didn't appease their anger.

Fu Jingting knew perfectly well that the person hiding behind the scenes was Fu Hongxin, but there was no evidence to implicate him.

Fortunately, Xu Qingcheng's pregnancy was relatively stable and nothing serious happened, but Fu Jingting was still on edge as the two little ones hadn't come out yet.

Fearing the worst, he stayed by Xu Qingcheng's side like a stay-at-home dad every day, and unless necessary, he delegated all external matters to others.

Some things happened with the cook. Yu Shinan may not necessarily repeat the old ways of the Yu family, but Wei Jingwu has never let him go. If this matter is not resolved, it will cause big trouble sooner or later. It's not that he wants to or doesn't want to, but that he has to do it.

Fu Jingting will settle accounts with Fu Hongxin sooner or later, but Qingcheng is the most important thing right now, and everything else can wait.

Fu Jingting stared at the extra patch on Xu Qingcheng's stomach, reached out and pressed it, "You brat, are you boxing again?"

"It's not just boxing, it's punching and kicking." Xu Qingcheng frowned.

"They'll just keep bothering you. I'll teach them a lesson when they're born," Fu Jingting said with a smile, stroking her belly and coaxing her.

Xu Qingcheng laughed, "No, I wouldn't allow it. I'd rather they were both a bit more mischievous."

The two children, one lively and the other quiet.

It doesn't really represent personality; it's mainly because one of the situations isn't quite right, so you're constantly on edge.

Xu Qingcheng suffered a lot for these two children. Fu Jingting saw it all, felt sorry for her but couldn't help. He pinched her cheek and said, "If it really doesn't work, let's have a C-section sooner."

"Mmm." Xu Qingcheng nodded. "But the doctor said the condition is okay. If I can stay in my mother's belly for a few more days, I will. I can manage."

Fu Jingting didn't refute her. He just bent down and kissed her belly, half as a warning, "You two behave yourselves and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, your mother won't be able to bear it when you're born, but I'll be willing to beat you."

He spoke so seriously that Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh.

She reached out and pinched his ear. "Have you been behaving well these past few days?"

Zhong Wanxiu was very worried about Fu Sichen's situation, and her sister-in-law had also given birth, making things a complete mess.

Xu Yuan has been leaving her in the care of Zhao Lan and the nanny for the past few days.

"Xu Yuan is very well-behaved and obedient, so don't worry about her. She really likes her little uncle."

Seeing his expression and displeasure, Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh, tapping his forehead with her finger. "You, that's enough! You're even jealous of my brother. When Xu Yuan was little, Qingyao held him much more than you did."

"That's why I'm jealous." Fu Jingting clicked his tongue. "I'm the real father."

"I know, I know, you're my biological father." Xu Qingcheng smiled, pursing her lips.

"The girl's name is Fu Ruchu, and the boy's name is Fu Qinghan." Fu Jingting took out his phone to show Xu Qingcheng. The phone showed a picture of the two names written in calligraphy, with strong and vigorous strokes.

"I came up with this name, see if you like it?"

Xu Qingcheng enlarged the characters to look at them, then smiled and nodded. "At first, I was thinking of naming a girl Fu Xu Nian. But it seems like the one you suggested is better; I like it more."

Xu Qingcheng looked at him. "What does it mean?"

I love you as always.

Xu Qingcheng was slightly taken aback, her face suddenly turning red. She reached out and pinched him, "Really! So cheesy!"

Fu Jingting smiled and asked her if she liked it.

Xu Qingcheng liked it, liked it to bits.

The old man named their son, and Xu Qingcheng had no objections.

During the day, the check-up showed nothing wrong, but as dawn approached, Xu Qingcheng suddenly started having abdominal pain and her water broke.

The baby was born prematurely.

The incident happened so suddenly that the hospital performed an emergency cesarean section, and the two babies were put into incubators.

Although the situation was dangerous, both children survived.

Xu Qingcheng was wheeled out of the operating room an hour after the child was placed in an incubator.

Fu Jingting held her hand tightly. The anesthesia hadn't completely worn off, so Xu Qingcheng didn't feel much pain, but her hair was soaked.

Childbirth is like a brush with death for a woman, but hearing her baby cry makes it all worthwhile.

Fu Jingting held her hand, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Wife, you've worked hard."

She squeezed Fu Jingting's hand back, her eyes slightly red, "Where are the two of them? I didn't see them."

"His vital signs are fine in the incubator. He's just a little small."

Xu Qingcheng suddenly laughed and cried, "Are you sure there's no problem? You're not lying to me?"

"I'm not lying to you. Really. I swear." Fu Jingting smiled and kissed her. "As soon as I can carry her out, I'll show you."

Xu Qingcheng nodded.

But she never expected that this wait would end in disappointment.
