“Since you’ve made up your mind, then go ahead,” Jiang Yuanbai said.

“I will take care of things at home, but remember, you must discuss things with A-Ye whenever something happens. Don’t try to take on everything yourself just because you’re afraid of hurting someone.”

Lin Qingran felt a warmth in her heart and nodded vigorously.

"I know."

Bo Ye came out of the room. "Jiu Ge, we can set off now."

Lin Qingran squeezed Jiang Yuanbai's hand tightly, then got up and left.

The two went downstairs, but suddenly bumped into Fu Xingze, who was sitting on the sofa, curled up into a small ball.

"Xingze? Aren't you asleep yet?"

Fu Xingze raised his head, his eyes, red from staying up all night, fixed on Lin Qingran, and spoke pitifully.

"Mom, are you leaving again?"

"Mom has to take care of something," Lin Qingran said.

"I'll be back in a few days. In the meantime, you should spend quality time with Grandpa Jiang and Lingdang."

Fu Xingze jumped off the sofa, ran over, and hugged Lin Qingran tightly around the waist.

“I heard you talking to Uncle, Mom,” Fu Xingze said softly.

"Something happened to your aunt's family. You need to go see them."

Fu Xingze looked up at Lin Qingran.

"Could it be Dad who did it? I heard from Uncle Lu An that Dad had a fight with Aunt before."

Lin Qingran was taken aback, then patted Fu Xingze's head.

"Xingze, be good. Mommy is indeed going back to the capital to see your aunt, but this has nothing to do with your father."

“I want to go back with my mother,” Fu Xingze said.

Lin Qingran looked at him with some surprise, "Together? Do you miss your father?"

"No, no, no, I want to live with my mother." Fu Xingze shook his head repeatedly.

"But I want to stay with my mom so I can protect her."

Lin Qingran smiled helplessly and cupped Fu Xingze's face in her hands.

"Just focus on your kindergarten studies and don't worry about so much."

"Is it really not allowed..." Fu Xingze pouted.

"No." Lin Qingran shook her head.

"If you stay home and behave yourself, you're protecting Mom."

Fu Xingze nodded and reluctantly let go of Lin Qingran.

Goodbye, Mom. Come back soon.

"Goodbye." Lin Qingran waved to him and left the house one after the other with Bo Ye.

Bo Ye helped Lin Qingran fasten her seatbelt. "This kid has a really sweet way of speaking. He really knows how to make people happy."

He pursed his lips. "I hope he's sincere."

"He didn't say anything else, so why are you starting to doubt him?" Lin Qingran asked curiously.

"I don't doubt the child, I doubt his father who couldn't keep his mouth shut," Bo Ye said, looking annoyed.

“Fu Xiuheng has been quite quiet lately. I’m afraid that his quietness might cause trouble.”

"Alright, stop thinking about it so much, let's get going," Lin Qingran urged.

Susukino nodded, putting the little incident behind him, and started the car to head to the airport.

The two landed in Beijing late at night and went straight to the hospital.

The person Xiao Zhou had contacted was already there to meet them, and they quickly went up to Lin Qingran as soon as they saw her.

"President Jiang, this is Luo Qing."

"I recognize you." Lin Qingran nodded slightly.

"How's the situation at the hospital? Have they found any suspicious individuals?"

"Not at the moment, and Ms. Fu and her family are staying in a high-class ward under very strict supervision. Everything is safe for them."

Lin Qingran finally breathed a sigh of relief. "What about Yuanyuan? How is she?"

"Ms. Fu's daughter is in the ICU, but we just received news that she is out of danger and, if all goes well, she will be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow morning."

"That's good. Take us up there."

To avoid attracting attention, they went there quietly.

But unexpectedly, just as she arrived at Fu Rongrong's ward, she bumped into someone Lin Qingran didn't want to see.

In the ward, Fu Xiuheng seemed to be anxiously explaining something to Fu Rongrong, but it was impossible to hear clearly through the door.

However, it was clear that Fu Rongrong was extremely agitated. Her husband, Jiang Cheng, tried desperately to stop her, but he couldn't stop her from unleashing her fury on Fu Xiuheng.

"Or should we wait a little longer?" Bo Ye said in a low voice.

"Fu Xiuheng has close ties with the Lin family; we mustn't let him run into them."

"it is good."

As soon as Lin Qingran agreed, Fu Rongrong excitedly grabbed a ceramic cup and threw it at Fu Xiuheng.

Fu Xiuheng was unable to dodge and was hit on the forehead.

He tilted his body, his gaze falling directly on the doorway, where he bumped into Lin Qingran.

More than ten minutes later, Fu Xiuheng returned after his wounds were treated, but was stopped by Bo Ye at the door.

"Mr. Fu, my wife is inside talking to Miss Fu. They're just chatting among women. Do you still want to go in and listen?"

“The one inside is also my sister.” Fu Xiuheng said seriously.

"She was just injured, I need to go see her. And what are you pretending for? Don't think I don't know you two are in a fake marriage."

"You investigated me?" Bo Ye frowned.

“I wasn’t interested in you before, and I really didn’t know who you were. But you have the ability to stay by Qingran’s side for so long without being kicked out. I suppose among the Bo family, the only person with such ability is the third young master of the Bo family in Yuncheng?” Fu Xiuheng said calmly.

Bo Ye chuckled, "Oh, no evidence, just guessing, is that it? It seems Mr. Fu isn't as capable as rumored, and can only deduce my true identity."

Fu Xiuheng looked at Bo Ye with some displeasure. "What methods I used is none of your business. But what about you? What is your purpose in getting close to Qingran? I heard that the Third Young Master left the Bo family a long time ago. But did you leave voluntarily or were you expelled? Did you regret it and want to go back, so you have to drag someone down with you?"

“Not everyone is as despicable as you,” Bo Ye interrupted Fu Xiuheng coldly.

He raised his hand, revealing the ring on his ring finger.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, it was indeed a sham marriage before, but it's not anymore."

Fu Xiuheng's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately darkened.

"Step aside."

Bo Ye stepped in front of Fu Xiuheng, "Over the years, you've looked down on everyone and been arrogant and conceited. Perhaps it's because that's the family tradition of the Fu family that you take it for granted that you can manipulate everyone in this world. But I'm warning you, don't have any more improper thoughts about my sister."

"What did I do?" Fu Xiuheng looked at Bo Ye with annoyance.

Bo Ye sneered, "President Fu, you really have a bad memory. What did you do to Sheng Hai Group a while ago? Have you already forgotten so quickly?"
