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

Fu Sichen ran to the banquet hall and gave his grandmother what she wanted.

She harbored a little secret she had accidentally discovered, feeling both nervous and excited, her emotions were very complicated.

Zhong Wanxiu glanced at her. "What's wrong?"

Fu Sichen opened his mouth, thought for a moment, then quickly closed it again, waving his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Zhong Wanxiu didn't think much of it and went about her business.

Fu Sichen's face turned red. Second brother and fairy sister... were they having an affair?!

It was both wild and exciting.

She covered her eyes, deciding to pretend she hadn't seen anything and keep their secret.

Second brother, haven't I been kind enough? Be nicer to your sister from now on.

……

Fu Jingting hugged her, pinching her chin with his fingers to prevent her from escaping.

Their eyes met. The allure in her eyes hadn't faded, but her gaze was now focused. She knew to look away when she saw him, instead of acting like a completely submissive doll.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even though he wasn't completely relieved yet.

Their schemes were child's play to him, but even the most childish tactics, when mixed with family and economic interests, could not be taken lightly.

Fu Jingting didn't even think much of the Ye family; he was looking at the Fu family internally.

"Had that fun?" he asked, his voice hoarse and not very pleasant. "Xu Qingcheng, you're something else!"

"I didn't," Xu Qingcheng denied instinctively, though she sounded a little guilty.

Especially since she hadn't fully recovered, her voice was soft and melodious when she spoke.

She wanted to reach out and grab her own neck to stop the noise.

Fu Jingting scoffed, "Nothing much, didn't you enjoy it?"

Xu Qingcheng wasn't without memories. Even though everything that had happened before was blurry and chaotic, and there was no way to replay it in high definition, she still knew what had happened.

His teasing made her blush and she couldn't speak.

Moreover, and moreover...

Xu Qingcheng clenched her fingers tightly into her palms, her nails digging into them, and bit her tongue. The pain could briefly distract her, but it couldn't last.

It felt like I was being bitten by insects, both painful and itchy.

She grabbed his arm, her body seemingly having its own will, snuggling closer to him. She noticed that the man's gaze was somewhat cold and deep, and there seemed to be lingering anger between his brows.

Xu Qingcheng was on the verge of tears, her eyes reddening. She despised herself for this, yet she succumbed to her instincts, which urged her to beg for his pity.

"Fu Jingting, hug me, kiss me, I still feel terrible."

Her eyes were alluring, and she looked like a seductive enchantress.

Fu Jingting knew exactly how she felt, and she felt the same way. He deliberately wanted to torment her, but all she said was this one sentence...

The man cursed under his breath, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Very hard.

With all your might.

No room for compromise.

……

During the banquet, a key segment of the Chamber of Commerce forum was a speech by Fu Jingting, in which he announced the new projects that the Fu Group was preparing to launch.

But when the time came, no one could be found.

The phone was also switched off.

Fu Minghui frowned at his second brother, his voice cold and deep, "What's wrong with Jingting?"

Fu Pinghui's expression was also unpleasant. How could he not show up at a time like this, especially since it was the Fu family's home turf? What would the guests think?

"I'll have Chairman Wang add a step. You all need to find him quickly and see what's going on," Fu Pinghui said calmly, glancing at the time.

He then called his assistant over, "Prepare a backup plan. If Jingting can't make it, have Duan Heng talk to him. He's been involved in the entire project, while the others aren't particularly clear about the project itself."

The assistant was sweating profusely. "I haven't seen Assistant Duan since just now."

Fu Pinghui suddenly looked over, and the assistant was rendered speechless by the sharp look in his eyes.

Amidst the chaos, Zhong Wanxiu knew something was wrong. Fu Pinghui didn't have time to talk to her or explain; he was on the phone one call after another.

Zhong Wanxiu glanced at the schedule and didn't see Fu Jingting in the room.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Sichen, have you seen your second brother?" Zhong Wanxiu asked Fu Sichen, who was standing next to her.

Fu Xiaoniu was still poking at the newly replaced desserts. They were alright, much better than the ones that had been placed in front of her.

Upon hearing his mother's question, Fu Sichen blurted out, "Isn't it the V in the back..."

She choked on the cake, coughed for a while, then took a drink and poured it down her throat. Meeting her mother's gaze, she calmly said, "You mean my second brother? I don't know."

Zhong Wanxiu stared at her.

After all, she carried the child for ten months and raised her to this age. She tried her best to take care of the child herself, and the nanny rarely interfered.

Even if Zhong Wanxiu couldn't fully guess Fu Sichen's cunning schemes, she could still get a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

She grabbed the little boy who was trying to escape, "Your second brother is going to give a speech later, and your dad has been frantically looking for him. This is such an important occasion, and he just disappeared. What happened? Tell me what you need to know right now."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Fu Sichen pulled Zhong Wanxiu aside and whispered, "I saw Second Brother carrying Fairy Sister into the room."

"Outrageous!" Zhong Wanxiu exclaimed in surprise, her voice suddenly becoming stern and losing control, which drew the attention of everyone around her.

"Mom!" Fu Sichen placed his hands on his chest and pressed them down, signaling her to calm down.

Zhong Wanxiu closed her eyes, looked apologetically at the people around her, reached out and grabbed Fu Sichen, and started to walk away.

Fu Sichen held Zhong Wanxiu tightly, "Mom, Mom, calm down, calm down. Think about it, what are we going to do there? Catch them cheating? We don't need you to catch them cheating."

In this kind of situation, it would be so ugly to have a scandal. Why don't you just pretend you don't know anything, and then tie up your second brother and interrogate him? You can whip him, beat him, or even dismember him—it's up to you!"

Although Fu Sichen's words seemed crazy, upon closer examination, they made sense.

Zhong Wanxiu closed her eyes briefly. "Go and call your father over."

Fu Sichen responded and went over immediately.

After listening to Zhong Wanxiu's words, Fu Pinghui looked at Fu Sichen.

Fu Sichen immediately raised two fingers to her ears to show that she was absolutely not lying.

Seeing her father's dark and gloomy face, she felt a chill run down her spine. "Second brother, you'd better pray for yourself."
