uests for drinking, and I haven't received any training in that area.""Dare you talk back Do you know how much effort I put into setting up this dinner I thought you were pretty and clever, but you tu...Chapter 23 Don't Force It

Xu Qinghuan's hard-held consciousness suddenly collapsed at this moment!

Instinctively, her body chose to trust Fu Yan when she fainted in his arms.

She didn't see the man's sharp and tense face at this moment. His eyes, which were usually stoic, were now glazed with a layer of ice.

"Fu, Fu during the banquet..."

Wang Zong was dumbfounded, trembling all over. He never expected to meet such a big shot today!

"You better pray she's okay."

Fu Yan's words lacked any inflection, yet they sent a shiver down my spine!

Seeing him walk away with a woman in his arms, Wang Zong was so frightened that he slumped back on the bed, unable to stand up.

......

Xu Qinghuan felt like she had just woken up from a very long dream.

The scene began with the blood splattered across the floor when her mother took her own life, then flashed to the classroom at school, and finally to Mr. Zhang's furious face, all passing by like slides.

Suddenly, a sharp pain jolted her awake.

Frowning, she slowly opened her eyes. The white ceiling of the hospital made her feel uneasy, so instinctively she raised her hand to shield herself.

As I moved my hand, I realized someone was holding it.

Xu Qinghuan glanced over, seeing Fu Yan when wearing a shirt full of wrinkles, sleeping with one hand on the bed and the other tightly clutching his own.

The lights in the ward are already on, so it must be midnight. He wouldn't have been staying at the hospital all this time with me, would he

Otherwise, with his cleanliness obsession, he would definitely change his clothes.

Looking at his slightly furrowed handsome face, Xu Qinghuan could clearly feel that something about herself was changing...

原來，在脆弱的時候有個人陪伴是一種感覺啊。

She had forgotten how long it had been.

It's nice to have someone by your side when you are sick.

After her mother's suicide, Xu Qinghuan moved into the hospital. For over a decade, she has been busy working to make money. She endured minor illnesses and only went to the hospital alone when she couldn't bear them any longer.

Even with Fu Jiajia as her best friend, she would try not to cause trouble for others as much as possible because she felt that favors should be reciprocated, and she had nothing to offer.

Perhaps sensing the movement of the people around her, Fu Yan shi also woke up from his brief rest. He didn't speak, but instinctively reached out with his hand to touch her forehead.

With a normal temperature confirmed, the tight lines on his handsome face finally relaxed.

"Does it still hurt"

Xu Qinghuan shook her head. "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your concern. I've caused you trouble."

As soon as these words left her mouth, Fu Yan's brows, which had just relaxed, immediately furrowed again.

He dislikes Xu Qinghuan always addressing herself as "You".

"Hua Ye's person in charge has handed the matter over to the police for handling."

"Oh, well then." She still had that respectful but distant look in her eyes, it was infuriating.

How many years have you worked at Shengshi

Fu Yan when suddenly raised his voice, stern and displeased. If Xu Qinghuan wasn't physically unable to, she almost stood up directly to retort.

"A year and a half."

"Didn't anyone tell you about the rule at Fushi Group that female employees can't go to a meeting alone with a potential partner"

His reprimand was loud and shocking, yet to Xu Qinghuan it sounded like a feeling of being protected.

"Next time."

"There will be no next time."

Xu Qinghuan stared at his serious and rigid expression, couldn't help but laugh, because last time he seemed to have scolded Manager Chen in the same way.

"Still laughing"

"No, no, I wasn't laughing at you!" She quickly sat up and glanced at her phone. It was already 4:00 am! "Mr. Fu, it's very late. Why don't you go back to rest I can—"

Don't force it.

He lowered his eyes and interrupted, his slender fingers collecting the lab reports and receipts on the table, then spoke softly, "Let's go home together."on't have to be so stiff. After registering today, you are my wife legally speaking."Seeing him speak so frankly, Xu Qinghuan no longer held back. She directly asked, "Then Mr. Fu, how long will this...
