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

There was no one else in the ward. All personal belongings were packed, and they were waiting for Duan Heng to finish the formalities before leaving.

The two best friends sat facing each other and chatted for a few minutes.

Xu Qingcheng's lips twitched. "Ye Tinghong and I are barely considered a good match, but the Ye family has too high standards and still looks down on me. I was unwilling to accept it, and I tried my best, but I still ended up like this today."

There are thresholds at the top, and the higher you go, the clearer the hierarchy between families becomes.

Xu Shengchang started from scratch and had no foundation; in their eyes, he was nothing more than a nouveau riche.

Now, he's lost power and has no money. He can't even be considered a nouveau riche anymore.

A family like the Fu family would never look up to her. Perhaps there's a chance if Fu Jingting isn't the next generation's successor to the Fu family.

However, internal strife was also rampant within the Fu family, as best exemplified by Fu Jingting's elder brother, Fu Chengxiu. As the next head of the family, he was the target of countless eyes, both inside and outside the family.

If Fu Jingting wants to make his way in the world smoothly, a good marriage alliance will make things much easier for him.

Both Xu Qingcheng and Song Chang, having been in such an environment, have seen too much, making it even less likely for them to have fantasies.

Some heartwarming moments are just fleeting, don't take them too seriously.

Song Chang pursed her lips, propped herself up with her hands behind her back, and sighed, "The media has been making such a big fuss about you two, I almost believed it."

Xu Qingcheng smiled and said, "He didn't fancy the Ye family."

It wasn't that he didn't value Ye Wenhan, but rather that he didn't value the Ye family.

Xu Qingcheng had neither the brain nor the energy to think about the complicated relationship between them; her own affairs were already enough to keep her thinking.

As for the media's publicity about the two of them, it's actually beneficial to both of them. Otherwise, if Fu Jingting wanted to suppress it, who would dare to publish it?!

After Duan Heng completed the formalities, he took Xu Qingcheng back.

"Will you be okay on your own when you get back?" Song Chang asked, a little worried.

"No problem, we have caregivers."

Xu Qingcheng didn't let Song Chang see her off. She rented a hotel room for a month for convenience and told Zhao Lan that she was on a business trip.

If there's something going on at the company, you can go directly to the hotel to find her. And after a few more days of rest, she'll be able to go out and do normal activities without any problems.

On the way to the hotel, Duan Heng was looking through the results of the forensic examination.

Minor injuries.

Xu Qingcheng didn't hide anything from Duan Heng, and directly called her lawyer, making her demands very clear: "Tell Ye Chengnian that I don't want any compensation, I won't accept a private settlement, and they can forget about getting my letter of forgiveness. It's a minor injury, level one, intentional assault, and a three-year sentence would be too lenient for Ye Wenhan."

The lawyer hesitated, "Mr. Xu, although the legal provisions are correct, the judgment may not necessarily be exactly as we intend."

"It's alright. Let alone three years, Ye Wenhan wouldn't be able to accept it even in a month, and neither would the Ye family. They won't wait for me to slap the Ye family in the face. But this is my stance. You better grit your teeth and keep them on your toes no matter what. I'm in control, understand?"

Xu Qingcheng's words were sharp and calm. Duan Heng looked at her through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but think, no wonder she could catch Young Master Fu's eye.

When the car stopped, Xu Qingcheng looked at the logo of the Silver Bay Hotel and then at Duan Heng. "Assistant Duan, I booked the Zhouji Hotel."

"Young Master Fu said this place is more convenient," Duan Heng replied respectfully. "It's located right between Shengshi and the courthouse, and the food here is quite good."

Fu Jingting's arrangement?!

His fake boyfriend is quite considerate, isn't he?

Xu Qingcheng smiled, got out of the car, and entered the hotel.

The caregiver hadn't arrived yet, and Xu Qingcheng didn't have any special arrangements, so she could tidy up by herself.

However, washing up in the hospital was inconvenient, and she wanted to take a shower and wash her hair.

Taking a bath is fine; the bathtub is full of water, my shoulders are exposed, and I can do it myself, it's just a little inconvenient with only one hand.

When Fu Jingting arrived, he didn't see anyone, but he could hear deafening music coming from the bathroom.

Xu Qingcheng was quite relaxed, probably because she was certain that no one could easily get into this place.

Moreover, the results of the minor injury assessment were very good, allowing her plan to continue. The thought of the Ye family being in such a mess and Ye Chengnian probably being furious made her extremely happy.

Xu Qingcheng stepped out of the bathtub. The bathroom was spacious, with a huge mirror reflecting her body completely.

With her collarbone secured in a figure-eight plaster cast, Xu Qingcheng thought that if she were a man, without those two burdens on her chest, but instead with well-defined pectoral muscles and abs, and wrapped in this plaster cast, she would actually look quite manly.

However, Fu Jingting quite liked her, and it's hard to say whether "loves her so much" is an appropriate description.

Xu Qingcheng thought to herself that the human body was quite strange. When he touched her, her whole body felt like melted chocolate, her bones as soft as ribbons, lingering and tender.

But it seems that when I'm alone, I don't have that soul-stirring feeling.

Miss Xu was purely curious, genuinely just curious, and since she was all alone, she recalled the times the two of them had been together and then reenacted it herself.

And then...

When their eyes met, Xu Qingcheng felt as if the air had stopped.

She wanted to set off a bomb and blow herself up.

Her voice trembled, "How...how did you get in?"

The man cleared his throat; he hadn't expected to witness such a breathtaking scene, one that made one's blood boil.

His voice was a little hoarse. "I came in at just the right time." He watched the whole thing.

Xu Qingcheng hurriedly grabbed a bath towel and wrapped herself up, but her arms were not moving easily and she wasn't very agile.

Fu Jingting walked over and wrapped the bath towel around her, tucking it in tightly to make sure it wouldn't fall off.

But after he finished doing all that, he didn't leave in a hurry. He asked her, "Why aren't you continuing? I haven't seen enough yet."

"shameless."

She cursed.

He raised an eyebrow.

Xu Qingcheng then realized that her words sounded more like an insult to herself.

Waaaaaah!

Seeing that she looked like she was about to explode, Fu Jingting suddenly laughed and asked her, "Need someone do it for you?"

"unnecessary."

She returned steaming hot and gritted her teeth.

Fu Jingting tapped her shoulder lightly with his fingers. "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Don't be careless."

"..."

Xu Qingcheng blushed and changed the subject, "Duan Heng said he arranged a caregiver, but I haven't seen anyone. I want to wash my hair, it's so itchy."

Lying back on the electric massage shampoo bed, this hotel truly lives up to its reputation for top-notch service; there's nothing they can't do, no matter how small your needs may be.

Fu Jingting made a phone call saying he was injured and couldn't wash his hair, and this equipment was delivered to him.

His technique was really not professional; occasionally his fingers would hook her hair and pull so hard that her scalp would almost come off. But fortunately, the massage was quite comfortable and didn't aggravate her injuries at all.

Most importantly, he was quite handsome. Looking up at him, she felt that the man's face had no bad angles; his jawline was so sharp that every inch seemed to cut into a woman's eyes.

As Xu Qingcheng enjoyed his service, she suddenly felt envious. "I wonder which woman can enjoy Young Master Fu's ultimate service. It's truly enviable."
