After finishing his meeting, Fu Yanshi quietly pushed open the bedroom door, afraid of waking Xu Qinghuan.

It turned out she was still awake, sitting in front of the computer, burning the midnight oil.

He frowned slightly, quietly approached, and glanced at the various data reports on the screen. "Am I giving you too much work?"

Xu Qinghuan was startled by him. "When did you arrive? I didn't even see you."

“You were taking this too seriously just now,” Fu Yanshi said, sitting at the foot of the bed. “I’ll have Secretary Lin lighten your workload a bit.”

“No need! I asked him to give me these tasks.” Xu Qinghuan said without stopping her work. “I’ve been resting for a while, and he’s probably been so busy that he hasn’t had time to sleep. Now I’m taking on some of these tasks so he can have a break.”

"But you'll be doing all of this, and you'll need to work overtime every day."

"Not long, at most a week."

Xu Qinghuan marked each document and saved them one by one before finally letting out a sigh of relief and shutting down the computer. "You don't need to worry about me. I'm all grown up now, don't I know how tired I am?"

Even with her words of comfort, Fu Yanshi's brows remained furrowed.

He knew in his heart that Xu Qinghuan did this so that she wouldn't let him down! But that wasn't his original intention.

Fu Yanshi was pondering how to communicate this matter with Xu Qinghuan when she spoke first.

"By the way, I can't work overtime this Saturday. I plan to go see my mom and get a medical check-up."

Fu Yanshi immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just a routine check-up. I'm just going to the hospital anyway, so I might as well get it checked out." Xu Qinghuan dared not say that she was going to the hospital because her period was late! Firstly, it would be very awkward, as this topic is quite sensitive. Secondly... she and Fu Yanshi had always used contraception, so she wouldn't get pregnant. If she told him that her period was late, he would probably start to think other things! If she wasn't pregnant, wouldn't that disappoint him?

“Then I’ll go with you. I’m free on Saturday.”

"Let's not go yet." Xu Qinghuan hadn't won over her mother yet, and she was worried that if she rashly brought Fu Yanshi there, something unpleasant might happen! Nie Zhisen was so popular with her, yet he was still treated so badly, so Fu Yanshi would definitely not have a good time either.

Seeing that Fu Yan didn't speak, she walked over, took his arm, and unusually acted coquettishly.

"Angry?"

"No."

"I know you want to come with me, and that's enough! Besides, I'm really just going for a checkup. If you really want to go, I'll go see my mom this Saturday, and we can go to another hospital for checkups on Sunday?"

Fu Yanshi sighed helplessly, "You don't need to be so careful when you're with me. I'm just thinking about how to get your mother to accept me."

“I’ll do this. You already have a lot on your plate at work, so don’t get distracted by this.”

Xu Qinghuan felt that it was definitely useless to persuade her mother now. It would take time to get her to accept it! Once she saw with her own eyes that she and Fu Yanshi had not separated after many years, she would naturally accept Fu Yanshi.

"Well, go to sleep."

Fu Yanshi gently stroked her hair until she could hear her breathing becoming steady, then he took his phone and got up to go to the balcony in the living room.

The phone screen showed a message from the father 30 minutes earlier.
