Xu Qinghuan instinctively covered her heart with her hand.

She asked herself the question.

Did they hold on?

"Hello, hello? Huanhuan?" Fu Jiajia called out a few times from the other end.

Xu Qinghuan snapped out of her daze. "I'm here."

"Promise me, we won't want a man like this who clearly has someone else in his heart, okay?"

She smiled, lowering her eyelashes, "Okay."

……

Because the work in Hong Kong was handled by Secretary Lin, and Fu Yanshi couldn't go there, he was busy at the company until 9 p.m. before he got off work.

Once in the car, he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt with his long, slender fingers and loosened his tie.

"Mr. Fu, back to Dongyue Bay?" the assistant asked, turning his head to the side.

"Hmm," he responded, then, as if remembering something, "You sent it back to her?"

"Yes, Miss Xu is in Dongyue Bay."

When Fu Yanshi thought of Xu Qinghuan, his thin lips unconsciously curved slightly.

The fact that this woman is so concerned about her relationship with Xia Wanyu is probably because she cares about him to some extent.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would never bring up something she doesn't care about repeatedly.

This can be considered a small step forward between us.

The car arrived at Dongyue Bay, and Fu Yanshi got out of the car carrying his briefcase.

As soon as he unlocked the door, the sight of high heels in the entryway made him frown and his heart sink.

Is Mother here?

"You're finally back at the banquet. I was about to leave if you had waited any longer." When Fu's mother saw him, she got up and went to the door to greet him.

Fu Yanshi subconsciously glanced behind her.

Xu Qinghuan is not here.

She didn't meet with her mother?

"Mom, what brings you here?"

“I didn’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to come and see where you live every day! I was quite surprised to see that you are now willing to change your personality and hire a cleaning lady! It’s been so long since I’ve been by your side, and I, as your mother, was completely unaware of the changes in our son.”

Cleaning maid?

Fu Yanshi's eyes darkened. "When you arrived, was there a girl here?"

"Yes! She's quite young. Wasn't she here to clean your house?" Fu's mother immediately noticed the change in her son's expression.

"...That's what she told you?"

"Yes." Mrs. Fu nodded. "What, isn't she?"

Fu Yanshi knew immediately that this was something Xu Qinghuan was capable of doing! It was also his own fault for not knowing in advance that his mother would be coming; Xu Qinghuan must have panicked when she saw him.

"Mom, please let me know before you come next time."

"I was just trying not to disturb you while you were working! Ever since junior high, you've always used the password 0825. I tried it, but you still used it, so I just got in." Mrs. Fu smiled and took the briefcase from her son. "Speaking of which, X0825 must represent Wan Yu's birthday!"

Fu Yanshi pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

"Mom, there's nothing between me and lawyer Xia Wanyu—"

"Nothing?" Madam Fu's face immediately darkened, her expression changing extremely quickly.

Fu Yanshi stopped talking and simply went inside without continuing.

Fu's mother caught up with him, her tone shifting from a gentle, motherly one to a sharp, accusatory one, "Are you still planning to defy me and your father? Don't forget what you told me at the banquet!"

"..."

"You said it yourself: as long as I stop thinking about suicide, you'll consider marrying Wan Yu!"

Fu Yanshi's tall figure paused for a long time before he turned his handsome face slightly. "Mom, I've been very busy lately. I'll have my assistant take you home first."

"It doesn't matter if there are many things to do, but you must marry Wanyu! No one is worthy to be my daughter-in-law except her."
