After saying this, Xu Qinghuan closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, as if preparing for the excruciating pain that was about to come.

But after waiting for a long time, the pain didn't come.

He then propped himself up and stepped back out.

"..."

"I don't want you to compensate me this way." He said this and turned to go into the bathroom.

Xu Qinghuan was still lying in bed, her hair falling loose like seaweed.

Without his suppression, air rushed back into her lungs, and Xu Qinghuan's lips curled into a bitter smile.

Is this considered compensation?

Really not.

She just wanted to experience Fu Yanshi in person.

Even if it's excruciatingly painful, it's still a way.

The sound of water from the bathroom started again, a soft, pattering sound.

Xu Qinghuan sat up in bed, without turning on the light, and waited for him by the bedside.

When Fu Yanshi came out wearing a bath towel, she hugged him right in front of him.

"..."

"Just this one thing, don't ask any more questions, okay?"

"About your mother?"

Xu Qinghuan nodded.

"Okay, I won't ask."

He's always been the one to back down, and he's gotten used to it.

Fu Yanshi patted her hair. "Were you frightened today?"

"Yeah, I thought something had happened to you."

Fu Yanshi had never intentionally lost contact with her. She worried that his wound might have become infected and worsened, that he was in the hospital, or that he might have been in a car accident, and so on...

At that moment, countless possibilities flashed through Xu Qinghuan's mind, but he never imagined that he had gone to the cemetery.

"I'm very tough, nothing will happen to me."

"But if you don't cherish it, who knows what might happen."

Fu Yanshi smiled and pulled her up to sit on his lap.

"If I die, Nie Zhisen will be very happy."

"...Why are you talking about him again?"

"Isn't Nie Zhisen deliberately mentioning your mother in front of you just to show off that he can go but I can't?"

Fu Yanshi is so smart, how could he not understand?

Xu Qinghuan paused for a moment, then subconsciously tried to explain, "I didn't tell Zhi Sen beforehand that I was going to the cemetery today, so he didn't know! We just bumped into each other there, so... we came down together."

"To my knowledge, he has no relatives buried in this cemetery."

"..." That's true.

"And I also heard a staff member say that he was going to visit his mother-in-law."

Xu Qinghuan was surprised. "You must have misheard me?"

"I do not have."

“Zhi Sen wouldn’t do that. Look, even though he was reluctant to let us bring the child back, he didn’t stop us! I’ve talked to him privately many times, and he promised to go on blind dates and find a girlfriend. Please stop being hostile towards him, okay?”

"Let's talk about it when he actually finds a girlfriend."

Fu Yanshi didn't believe Nie Zhisen would actually look for him.

Xu Qinghuan sighed softly, "I don't know about the others, and I don't want to say it like that, making it seem like I'm speaking up for Brother Zhisen again, and you'll get jealous again. All I know is that Brother Zhisen and I can only be friends, there's absolutely no other possibility."

Even in the darkness, Fu Yanshi could still accurately see Xu Qinghuan's eyes.

The two stared at each other for a long time before he finally let out a sigh.

"I just can't do anything with you."

It seems like I'm the only one being manipulated.

"How could that be? You're a domineering CEO."

"With you in the way, how can I be domineering?"

If it weren't for Xu Qinghuan, Nie Zhisen would have been kicked out of the country long ago and would never have been allowed to return! He could give him money, accommodation, a house, and a car, but he had to stay away from Xu Qinghuan!
