.. can save my mother, right"He had never seen Xu Qinghuan so flustered, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips. The next second, as if remembering something, his expression changed.Wh...Chapter 16: A Strange Number

Seeing her daughter's face etched with exhaustion, Zheng Qiu-zhi could only let out a long sigh.

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

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

"It doesn't matter what's dragging you down, Mom. After your surgery, the doctor said you might be able to get out of bed and walk! Then you definitely have to make me a big plate of dumplings, I'm craving them so much."

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

Xu Qinghuan was startled, her face flushed with guilt. She took an apple and started peeling it, "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 Yanshi wasn't that kind of person.

When Zheng Qiu'zhi heard this, it sounded like her daughter was defending her boyfriend! She immediately frowned and although she didn't say anything more, she also didn't take the apple Xu Qinghuan offered.

The sky outside gradually darkened.

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

After she walked out, she took a deep breath before hailing a taxi and headed to Fu Yanshi's residence as he had instructed.

As soon as he got out of the car, his phone in his bag rang.

Looking down, it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

"Did you go back"

His deep and magnetic voice was too distinctive; she couldn't help but hear it.

"Well, I'm here."

"There's a sudden engagement here, I have to go back later. You can go in first." He paused and said, "The password for the door is FX0825."

Suddenly hearing this string of numbers, she paused instinctively before saying okay.

As she entered the door, Xu Qinghuan pondered while changing her shoes. The significance behind 0825 must be deeper than she initially thought! He hadn't removed his tattoo or changed his password; this meant that Fu Yan had still held this person in his heart.

So he said he needed a wife, he must really be trying to get back at that person in his heart—the chief lawyer named Xia Wan'yu that Fu Jiajia talked about.

Because you see, the password for Fu Yan's family's door lock is like this: F represents Fu, and X represents Xia. It's simply perfectly cracked.

Xu Qinghuan also couldn't describe her feelings at the moment, um, it was probably that she had been passively used as a substitute.

She was about to take off her coat and get straight to work at the computer, but then she caught sight of a large bag that Fu Yan's assistant had just delivered to the entrance hall.

> I'm not exaggerating, there was a whole bag, and inside there were at least ten or more red and green boxes.

Xu Qinghuan unconsciously coughed a few times, bearing the face that was instantly flushed red. She left the place as quickly as if she were 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's voice on the phone

Dr. Xu Qinghuan at the hospital.

Xu Qinghuan didn't choose to tell her about this, it wasn't something glorious after all, and the contract was only for a year, she should be able to keep it hidden.

After replying to that one message, she opened the files for her work on the project and began checking them one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a lock being unlocked suddenly came from the front door.

Xu Qinghuan got up and walked over. Before she could even speak, Fu Yan's tall and slender body pressed her against the wall in the living room, and then a kiss heavy with alcohol came crashing down upon her!

"Fu, Mr. Fu! Don't be here, please..."ould have thought that Wang always directly grasped her wrist, the smile on his face changing from disdain just now to being obscene, "You told me not to leave, and now you're avoiding me again, what...
