It's 0825 again.

How much does Fu Yan time love Xia Wan'yu...

She couldn't imagine that such a serious, rigid, and unapproachable person would be so devoted to love.

Set a password, get a tattoo, write a love letter.

None of these things individually seem like something Fu Yan would do, but he did all of them for Xia WanYu.

Xu Qinghuan did not read the letter. She simply silently placed it back where it belonged, along with the book, and walked out of the study at a leisurely pace.

She felt she had overstepped. This was Fu Yan's affair, and she shouldn't have looked into it, thought about it, or let herself feel anything about it.

A hired stand-in has no right to this.

......

When Zhou Sèze returned, Fu Yanshi left the hospital.

He got into the car, but didn't start the engine. Instead, he called his mother directly.

"A shi, you finished yet"

Because of the time difference, Fu Yan's mother's side was already very late at this time.

"Hmm." Fu Yan sighed, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his temples. "Xia Wan Yu told me you're going to return to your country"

"Yes! I happen to be back in town for her birthday and she had surgery. I'm going to go see her." Fu's mother's voice was gentle like water, as if she wouldn't be angry at all.

Even in the way she spoke, you could tell that she treated Xia Wan'yu as one of her own.

Kai Fu knew that his mother was not what others saw.

She has a strong need for control.

"It's not a major surgery, I just came out of the hospital. You haven't been feeling well, the doctor reminded me to let you rest more and avoid long journeys."

I haven't been back home for a long time. This time, I plan to stay there for an extended period, and take some time off in my home country. That way, I can see you and Wanwan often.

"Mom, please focus on recovering first, and then we can look into these things."

Originally, Fu Yan intended to let his mother gradually adjust to Xu Qinghuan, from first glance, to acquaintance, and then familiarity.

>If she suddenly returned to China now, it wouldn't be long before news of her marriage got out.

"You seem reluctant to let me go back" Mother Fu also caught the meaning in her son's words and immediately asked, "Did you have a fight with Wanwan! The two of you—"

"We're friends privately, and coworkers professionally. There's no fighting between us." He cut his mother off, not wanting her to keep speculating, "Once I finish my current projects, I'll come visit you."

He had originally also planned to bring Xu Qinghuan along.

Unexpectedly, Xia Wan's actions disrupted his plans.

"You're already working so hard, or maybe I should just go back home! I already bought the tickets. I asked Wanwan not to tell you about this, I wanted to surprise you, but she's such a blabbermouth, she told you anyway!"

Fu's mother smiled, "After you two get married, she will definitely be eaten to death by you."

“...”

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, it's almost morning here, I have to go to rest, good night son."

After finishing her words, she hung up the phone.

Fu Yan felt his headache getting worse!

It seems like mother's return is a certainty. I can only try to avoid things that might upset her as much as possible, and then find an opportunity to send her away again.

He put his phone on the passenger seat and started the car, speeding back to Dongyue Bay as fast as he could.

As soon as I entered, I saw Xu Qinghuan lying on the table in the living room, seemingly asleep, completely motionless.

Fu Yan gently walked over and took the blanket from the sofa, covering her with it.

This startled her awake.

"You came back so early!" took it.Then I tossed and turned, thinking about it day and night.Fu Yan was frowning, silent for a few seconds before speaking, “This project was originally intended to be given to you. Lin Secretar...
