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

Fu Sichen had just put his finger down when he heard a commotion.

"Second Master, someone saw Young Master Jingting resting in the back V room. He may have had a bit too much to drink. We've already sent someone to call him back."

"Huh? Who said my second brother was drunk and resting?" Fu Sichen gasped. "And who went to call him?"

"Who said that? I don't know, I just heard..."

I don't really know who told me that.

Xu Qingcheng hugged him tightly, as if grasping the last straw on a cliff. If she let go, she would fall completely, and he was her only hope hanging by a thread.

"Fu Jingting... Jingting..."

She called his name, her voice broken and pitiful, her tear-filled eyes filled with his image—wicked and evil, yet somehow giving her an inexplicable sense of security, making her involuntarily cling to him, entrusting herself to him wholeheartedly, and letting him lead her out of this quagmire.

Her name was pressed into her mouth, repeated over and over between her lips and teeth, as if she were biting into every bone of his.

Fu Jingting cursed under his breath. He bit her lip, swallowing her voice, and warned her fiercely, "Xu Qingcheng, if you dare to call out another man's name again, I'll strangle you."

……

The waves crashed over her and knocked her unconscious. After a brief moment of dizziness, she lay there listlessly, not wanting to move.

The heat on her face and body subsided, but a blush still lingered on her cheeks—the color he had given her.

Xu Qingcheng closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Fu Jingting knew she was awake. He touched her eyelids with his fingers and saw that her eyelashes trembled more violently and her body shrank back.

He scoffed. So he does know fear.

I never expected him to question me!

No, he won't just question her; he'll also take action to make her regret it and never dare to lay a hand on him again.

The man snorted and watched as she obediently curled up there, the sheet barely covering her, her long legs exposed, and her arms and shoulders also bare.

Her shoulder was covered with bruises of varying degrees, which looked pitiful. He frowned and gently pressed his fingers on her shoulder.

Xu Qingcheng shrank back, letting out a soft, indistinct hum.

Fu Jingting glanced at her; this woman was afraid of pain and was incredibly pretentious.

Did he use that much force?

The man frowned, reached out and pulled the blanket up, covering her completely, including her legs.

It was covered tightly, with not a single gap showing.

It was as if they had already foreseen what was going to happen.

The door to the room was flung open with a bang, and someone shouted, "Young Master Fu, it's time for you to speak..."

The sound was cut off when they saw what was happening inside the room, and the men looked at each other in bewilderment.

The staff member who arrived was carrying a laptop and materials, thinking of checking the contents one last time before starting.

Meanwhile, the people who followed them in were complete strangers, and they raised their phones to take pictures of him.

Fu Jingting glanced at him briefly, his face expressionless, revealing no emotion. The man's upper body was bare, and the finger marks left by the woman on his body were very obvious.

It's crystal clear what just happened here.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xu Qingcheng instinctively wanted to take a look, and as soon as her face appeared, someone raised their phone to take a picture.

She thought she heard the sound of a camera shutter, and the flash of light streaked across her eyes, but she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

Xu Qingcheng subconsciously turned her head away to cover her face, and pulled the blanket up to cover herself more tightly.

Even so, she felt no sense of security. She was lying naked beside him, and the blanket was pulled back, revealing all her ugliness.

My mind is in turmoil, and so is my heart.

The two of them were photographed looking like this, even at his grandmother's birthday banquet, where the Fu family was present.

Both Ye Chengnian and Ye Wenhan were present.

They must have assumed that she had ulterior motives in climbing into Fu Jingting's bed to gain power.

A series of unpleasant thoughts rushed into Xu Qingcheng's mind.

But compared to all that, what she feared most was the media's endless criticism and publicity. Her fingers, hidden under the covers, quietly reached out and grabbed his wrist. "Don't let the media expose this, Fu Jingting. I didn't mean to scheme against you, really. I'll help you clarify things; it's all a misunderstanding. Please don't expose this."

Her voice was low and urgent, and her speech was somewhat incoherent due to her haste.

Fu Jingting glanced at her, then withdrew his hand and said in an extremely cold voice to the person standing frozen at the door, "Get out."

Upon hearing the sound, several staff members quickly turned and went out, but before they could even take a step, they were blocked at the door by several patriarchs of the Fu family who were about to enter.

They quietly stepped aside to make way.

Ye Chengnian followed behind them, but when he saw Ye Wenhan running over in a panic, his face instantly turned extremely cold.

Fu Minghui also saw her. His gaze swept across her face, and his brows furrowed. He stopped at the door and did not go any further. In a calm yet stern voice, he issued a notice: "Make a call to all the media. Not a single word about the Fu family that has not been approved is allowed to be released."

His assistant beside him quickly responded and went to handle it.

Fu Pinghui's eyes also darkened. He didn't step inside again, and only said to Zhong Wanxiu, "Tell him to get ready and come out to see me."

The room was emptied in an instant. Zhong Wanxiu glanced at Fu Jingting, then at the woman who was hiding tightly beside him, and said, "Hurry up and get ready to come out."

Her usually gentle voice also carried a rare stern tone.

Fu Jingting propped himself up on the bed to get up, but Fu Sichen suddenly hissed and half-covered his face, "Second brother, be careful not to expose yourself."

Zhong Wanxiu slapped her on the head and angrily said, "What are you doing in here? Get out!"

Fu Xiaoniu pouted.

"Mom, have someone send her some clothes." His voice was deep and cold, but his words made Zhong Wanxiu unable to help but look at him.

This request is clearly somewhat inappropriate.

However, what Zhong Wanxiu cared about was not the incident of him ordering his mother to deliver clothes to a strange woman, but rather that he could actually say such a thing. It was clear that this woman's feelings for him were definitely not just a misunderstanding, or merely an uncontrollable sexual encounter.

Before Zhong Wanxiu could reply, Fu Sichen volunteered, "I'll do it, I'll have someone bring the clothes over."

Fu Jingting grabbed the bath towel that was lying on the bedside table and wrapped it around his waist. He had already stood up, and you could see the more obvious scratches on his back. The man had broad shoulders and narrow hips, and his muscles were clearly defined. He was bursting with hormones.

Gee tut.

She had always heard her girlfriends say that her second brother was handsome, but she had seen him since she was a child, and she had seen two of them at once. Her eldest brother was also good-looking, but after seeing him for a long time, she just thought, "Oh well, that's all there is to it."

It has one nose and two eyes, and nothing more than others.

And especially her second brother, who has a mouth that can drive anyone crazy.

She can no longer see even the most beautiful face.

But when Fu Sichen thinks about the scene of him carrying the fairy sister into the room, she still feels that tall, strong, and good-looking men are indeed very handsome, manly, and powerful.

Moreover, just look at that hormonally charged look; she could guess just how fierce a battle had taken place here.

But before Fu Sichen could think any further, Fu Jingting gave her a cold look.

Fu Sichen received the message and immediately went to take care of his business.
