Seeing her daughter's tired face, Zheng QiuZhi could only let out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry, it's mother's fault, I've held you back!"

She also knew she shouldn't always instill fear of men in her daughter, after all, she would eventually have to marry someday. But she was afraid! Afraid that her daughter would be foolish again and get hurt!

"Mom, don't worry about anything. After your surgery, the doctor said you might be able to walk around! When that happens, you have to make me a big plate of dumplings. I'm craving them so much!"

"Good." Zheng Qiu-zhi nodded and then suddenly thought of something, "Your boyfriend, ask him to come over. I want to meet him."

Xu Qinghuan was startled, feeling guilty she turned her face away and began peeling an apple, "He's very busy, there are too many things at work."

"Your dad back then was—"

"Mom!" she gently interrupted, "Not everyone is like him."

At the very least, intuition told Xu Qinghuan that Fu Yan was not that kind of person.

When Zheng Qiuzhi heard this, it sounded more like a daughter defending her boyfriend! She immediately turned her face down. Although she didn't say anything more, she didn't take the apple Xu Qinghuan offered.

The sky outside gradually darkened.

Mother's side already has someone taking care of her, and Xu Qinghuan herself needs to return to the company early tomorrow morning. Therefore, after she fell asleep, Xu Qinghuan left the hospital.

After she walked out, she took a deep breath and hailed a taxi. She went to Fu Yan shi's residence as he had instructed.

As soon as I got out of the car, my phone in my bag rang.

Looking down, it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

"Are you back"

His low and magnetic voice was too distinctive, she thought. It would be hard not to recognize it.

"Yes, I'm here."

"I have a sudden engagement here, so I'll be back late. You go in first." He paused and added, "The code to the door is FX0825."

Hearing that string of numbers again, she instinctively paused before saying, "Okay."

As Xu Qinghuan stepped into the room, changing her shoes while thinking, she realized the meaning behind 0825 was deeper than she initially thought! The fact that he hadn't removed his tattoo or changed his password meant Fu Yan had this person in his heart.

So he said he needed a marriage partner, he must really be trying to get back at this person he had a crush on—that chief lawyer named Xia Wan'yu that Fu Jiajia mentioned.

Because you see, this Fu Yan Shi's family door lock password, F represents Fu, and X represents Xia, it's simply perfectly cracked.

Xu Qinghuan also couldn't tell what she was feeling at this moment, well, most likely she had been passively used as a substitute.

She originally planned to just take off her coat and go straight to work on the computer, but as she raised her eyes, her gaze was drawn to the large bag of suitcases that Fu Yan's assistant had just brought in from the entrance.

A whole bag, I'm not exaggerating at all. There are at least ten or more red and green boxes inside.

Xu Qinghuan unconsciously coughed a few times, her face burning red in an instant. She quickly left the place as if avoiding a virus.

As soon as Fu Jiagia saw Xu Qinghuan online on the company's internal software, she immediately sent a message.

Who was that man on the phone

Xu Qinghuan didn't choose to tell her about this, it wasn't anything glorious anyway. The contract was only for a year, she should be able to keep it hidden.

After she responded to that, she opened the files for her work project and began to check them item by item.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of unlocking came from outside the door.

Xu Qinghuan got up and walked over. Before she could even speak, Fu Yan's tall and imposing figure directly pressed her against the wall in the living room, and then, a kiss filled with the strong scent of alcohol swept over her overwhelmingly!

"Master Fu, Master Fu! Don't be here, please..."ll use it. That’s how I got in.” Mrs. Fu smiled, taking the briefcase from her son’s hand. “Speaking of which, X0825 represents your birthday, doesn’t it”Fu Yan pressed his lips together and sighed d...
