A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

"You're thinking that the innocent will clear themselves, but Xu Qinghuan might be playing the victim and acting pitiful the whole time! Don't the old folks always say that pillow talk is the most dangerous thing!"

Xia Wanyu was amused by his exaggerated expression and waved her hand.

"Perfect timing. Yan Shi's mother is in China. I can take advantage of the time I'm assisting with the investigation to relax and spend some time with her. Don't disrupt my plans."

Zhou Size just stared at her for a long time before finally sighing.

"Are you going to keep spoiling Yan Shi like this? When will he ever realize how good you are to him?"

“I did these things not for him to see. I genuinely like Auntie and consider her my own mother.”

Zhou Sze nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, why do I feel like I've rarely heard you talk about your father over the years? He and your mother must have been a very loving couple, right? That's why they were able to raise such a gentle and considerate daughter like you."

"...Yes, they are very much in love." That's right, they are not a married couple.

……

Fu Yanshi drove the car to a restaurant and stopped.

He had already sent someone to order the food in advance on the way, and as soon as he entered, he was led directly into a private room.

Xu Qinghuan hadn't felt hungry at first, but looking at the exquisite and delicious dishes on the table, her stomach started to rumble.

Fu Yanshi personally scalded the bowls and chopsticks for her and placed them on the table.

After taking a few bites, Xu Qinghuan suddenly remembered, "You've come back like this, what about Hong Kong?"

The planned business trip still won't be completed for several more days.

"Secretary Lin will handle it on your behalf."

"Can such a core project be managed without you?" Xu Qinghuan wasn't stupid. She knew that if Secretary Lin could handle the project without Fu Yanshi, he wouldn't have landed in Hong Kong so soon after returning from Washington.

Fu Yanshi added a piece of beef to her bowl, saying, "I'll go over there after I've settled things here."

"..." Her hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment. "Don't let this delay the project. Go back to Hong Kong. I can handle it myself."

"Xu Qinghuan, I want to protect you."

No matter how difficult the road ahead, he wanted to stand in front of Xu Qinghuan and protect her from harm.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan immediately lowered her head, pretending not to have heard.

But I was very panicked.

What does he mean?

Protecting oneself?

"Eat more. No matter what happens, your health is very important." Fu Yanshi didn't expect her to give him any response.

This woman has always used avoidance as her trump card, and I don't want to force her to accept it so quickly.

"Um……"

"Let's move back to Dongyue Bay tonight. I'm worried it's not safe for you to stay at Fu Jiajia's place."

Xu Qinghuan was taken aback.

It seems he went back to Dongyue Bay and saw that I had taken all my luggage.

"No, I don't like living there. If... you need anything, just call me and I'll come over."

She thought of the strawberries in the refrigerator, and everything Fu Yanshi had done for Xia Wanyu there, and felt a sense of resistance towards Dongyue Bay.

How can I go back to live there?

“Fu Jiajia’s neighborhood is too ordinary, and the gate management is not very good. If someone goes there and kidnaps you, you won’t be able to find anyone to save you.”

"How did you know which neighborhood Jiajia lives in?!"

He even investigated this!

“I also know that Nie Zhisen has been frequently visiting Fu Jiajia’s house since you moved in.”

"..."
