Spoiled Sparrow

Fu Chen lowered his eyes, crushing his pride under his feet for the first time.

He turned his head away, his voice extremely weak, a hint of forbearance and obsession hidden within.

"Little fox, I only ask that you don't hate your brother, and don't forget your brother, okay?"

Ruan Qing had never seen Fu Chen like this before, and she couldn't handle him.

Girls whose dating experience is limited to Fu Chen have never seen such "green arrow" tactics before.

She took a deep breath, turned around, and said in a gentler tone, "I don't hate you. You should rest well. If you die, I will definitely burn paper money for you."

After saying that, as if she had made up her mind, she forcibly dragged her heavy legs out.

Chen Yan sighed and comforted her, "President Fu, your wife needs some time."

After he finished speaking, he looked up and a faint smile appeared on Fu Chen's pale face.

The corner of her eye twitched slightly upwards, and the smile in her eyes vanished in an instant.

Fu Chen met his questioning gaze and said calmly, "Not hating me, and still burning paper money for me after you're dead—what does that prove?"

Standing to the side, Chen Yan couldn't tell if he was talking to himself or trying to address him, and hesitantly continued, "What...does this prove?"

Fu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, and his voice became firm: "Prove that she loves me."

Chen Yan: "..."

I didn't see that point; perhaps President Fu has his own unique way of understanding things.

Chen Yan felt that Ruan Qing really didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Fu Chen looked at the injured leg, a triumphant gleam in his eyes. Chen Yan, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine. Why did it seem like President Fu was somewhat relieved that the leg was injured like this?

"Oh, right, give this box to her."

Fu Chen bent down and took out the box that he had kept with him since boarding the plane, from beside his pillow.

"Please pass on a message for me."

Chen Yan took the box: "Mr. Fu, what are you saying?"

"This area has been rather unsafe lately, so I had her install a security camera at the entrance."

Chen Yan understood immediately: "Yes."

The group of people who came last night were very aggressive; it's obvious they were paid to do something for someone.

They interrogated one of the survivors who hadn't fainted, and discovered that the person behind it all was a woman.

He would not allow such a thing to happen a second time.

"Go ahead, and arrange for two more bodyguards to protect her secretly."

After leaving the house, Ruan Qing went home as quickly as possible.

He closed the door and squatted down against it in disbelief.

He really came.

Compared to half a month ago, she has lost a lot of weight.

The once domineering aura now carries a hint of sickly coquettishness.

Ruan Qing patted her face: Wake up, okay? Don't be tempted by his good looks.

Those who were so busy looking at him forgot to ask her who she had offended to dare to do such a beastly thing in the street.

Just then, a knock came close to her ear, startling her.

She stood up, squinted, opened the peephole, and opened the door after seeing who it was.

"Assistant Chen, is something the matter?"

Chen Yan handed her the box: "President Fu asked me to give this to you."

"What is it?"

She casually opened it, and inside lay her ID card, passport, and cell phone.

Ruan Qing closed the door, propping herself up with one hand. "Who were those people who tried to mess with me last night?"

Without Fu Chen's permission, Chen Yan could not elaborate.

He replied, "I'm not sure yet. For safety reasons, Mr. Fu suggested installing a surveillance camera outside the door."

Ruan Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll have someone come and install it later."

Chen Yan: "No need for that trouble, we have extras, we can install them right away."

"hiss--"

Fu Chen's surveillance? She already has PTSD.

Ruan Qing declined, saying, "It's no trouble at all. I'll contact someone to install it right away."

Fu Chen has a strong desire to control Ruan Qing, and Chen Yan, who has been by her side for many years, knows quite a bit about her.

Installing surveillance cameras at home and GPS tracking on mobile phones are basic operations.

No wonder my sister-in-law ran away; no normal person could stand being monitored all the time.

Seeing her determination, Chen Yan didn't say anything more: "Okay, then I'll go down first. President Fu can't be left alone right now, sigh."

Before leaving, he played the victim and secretly observed her expression.

Very good, the goal has been achieved.

After closing the door, Ruan Qing happily jumped up and down, clutching the box.

"My phone is finally back in my mom's hands."

She kissed her phone and immediately turned it on.

The first thing I do when I open my phone is to open WeChat and check unread messages.

After browsing through them one by one, she first replied to Zhang Yao:

[Officer Zhang, I've found your biological parents. Thank you for all your help with this. I'm so sorry my phone broke before I could reply.]

She poured herself a glass of ice water, took her phone, sat on the sofa, and called Lin Yun'en.

The moment the call connected, two sweet voices overlapped: "Baby~"

Ruan Qing couldn't hold back her desire to share any more, so she spoke first.

"Don't say anything yet, listen to me."

"Guess who I saw? Fu Chen!"

"I thought I was hallucinating. Just now, he returned my phone and ID to me. I can't believe it. It's like the sun has risen in the west."

But this is for the best. It means he's come to his senses and decided to stop bothering me. He's finally free...

Ruan Qing kept talking, and Lin Yun'en on the other end of the phone became increasingly guilty.

She couldn't resist taking the opportunity to ask her guiltily, "Honey, haven't you ever thought I might have lied to you?"

"Huh?" Ruan Qing's eyes widened. "What did you lie to me about?"

Lin Yun'en was a little embarrassed, "It's about Fu Chen that you asked me about before."

Ruan Qing put down her water glass: "It's nothing, he must have threatened you, it's none of your business."

She sat on the sofa, feeling the occasional sea breeze, and chatted with Lin Yun'en for a full three hours.

"By the way, Bao, when are you coming to visit me? The scenery here is really beautiful."

Lin Yun'en also wanted to go, but her grandfather forced her to take the exam for her workplace, so she couldn't spare any time.

She wailed, "Who understands? I'm now surrounded by these three senior teachers in my family, studying for 11 hours every day without fail, and I don't even get to see Dong Chenye."

Ruan Qing comforted her, "It's okay, don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you can't manage, I'll support you. I've started my own studio here, and I just signed my first deal yesterday."

Lin Yun'en was so envious she immediately wanted to throw away her pen. She asked, "By the way, how are things going with your parents?"

"They're pretty good to me. And my mom looks just like me. You'll see when you meet her."

"Okay, I'll come see him in person next time." Lin Yun'en paused, "What about your brother? You mean He Xun'nan?"

Ruan Qing: "It's alright, what's wrong? Do you need to check my household registration, Miss Lin?"

Lin Yun'en recalled what Fu Chen had told her; He Xun'nan was suspicious...

She replied after a while: "No, you can't even ask me to care about you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a new message popped up on her phone. Ruan Qing opened it and saw it was from Zhang Yao.

Congratulations! Could you please send me a copy of the paternity test results now? I need to get a certificate made.
