"They...they gave it to me before and asked me to bring it to you." Fu Zhenzhuo avoided her eyes with a guilty look, "Open it and see if you like it."

Xu Yansang first opened the large box, then looked at the items inside and fell into deep thought.

"This is……"

"This is the princess my mother gave you," Fu Zhenzhuo coughed awkwardly. He also felt that it was a bit embarrassing to give this thing as a gift, but before he came back, Tang Youyou grabbed his ear and repeatedly told him to convey her thoughts to him. "This doll... no, this princess has 108 flower protectors guarding her for her entire life. She has unbreakable armor and an indestructible body."

Fu Zhenzhuo grabbed the ground with his toes in embarrassment. "My mother said that if you stay with this princess every day, you will become as strong as her. I hope you will never get sick or injured again."

To be fair, this gift has a good meaning, if you ignore the Mary Sue concept and exaggerated color scheme.

Xu Yansang was shocked for a moment, and finally uttered, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie..."

She felt that it must be because the wild boar could not eat fine bran, and it was definitely not because the beautiful aunt had a weird aesthetic taste.

She certainly wouldn't think that the rows of blinding diamonds on the little princess's dress were real diamonds, much less that the big emeralds on the little princess's head and clothes were real emeralds.

If this is real, how much would it be worth? No one would be rich enough to embed these treasures on a doll, right?

Fu Zhenzhuo closed his mouth silently.

Even he was unwilling to admit that this stupid thing was bought by Tang Youyou by forcing him to spend 3.8 million.

This thing is an insult to his intelligence.

Xu Yansang opened the small box again and was stunned. "Grandma Fu gave me another jade bracelet?"

She looked at the emerald green jade bracelet in the box and didn't even dare to pick it up. She returned the box to Fu Zhenchao and said, "It's too valuable. I can't have it."

"It's fake," Fu Zhenchao repeated his old trick, "Didn't grandma say that she likes to buy fake bracelets? It's just a token of my appreciation, so just keep it."

Xu Yansang looked at the box, frowned for a long time, and then asked doubtfully, "A-Tuo, do I look like... a fool?"

Fu Zhen paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course not, you are very smart, I rarely see a woman as smart as you."

Xu Yansang curled her lips and looked at him, "Then I think this bracelet is real."

Fu Zhenzhuo was startled and almost thought that she knew it. He had never been so nervous when he first joined the company and signed the first controversial order under pressure from the board of directors.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. The most important thing was, what if she knew that everything about him was a lie from beginning to end and she ignored him in the future?

Xu Yansang didn't notice his strangeness, and just thought that she guessed right. She frowned and forced the box into his hand, saying, "There is a price tag and an appraisal certificate inside. It's written on the price tag that it cost 250,000. Such an expensive gift, Grandma Fu must want to give it to her real granddaughter-in-law as a family heirloom. I absolutely can't accept it. You should put it away quickly."

Fu Zhenzhuo was stunned. He took it and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a price tag inside, which said the selling price was 25.

During the moment of stunned silence, Xu Yansang had already taken her hand back.

Fu Zhen was afraid that if he insisted on giving it to her, she would become suspicious, so he could only take it first and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know grandma bought such an expensive thing. If you feel pressured, I'll keep it for you first."

Xu Yansang felt a pang in her heart and forced a smile, "Okay, put it aside for now."

Such a jade bracelet is destined not to belong to her. It belongs to his future significant other, who may be Lawyer Bai or another man, but it will never be her.

Fu Zhenzhuo didn't know why the intimate and harmonious atmosphere just now suddenly turned cold. Xu Yansang seemed very unhappy. He wanted to say something to make her happy, but was afraid of backfiring.

There has never been a moment like this when I feel so helpless.

He was like an inexperienced boy who could do nothing but be nice to her. But he couldn't be nice to her openly. When he saw her frown, he didn't know what to do.

Xu Yansang also realized her own loss of composure, and forced herself to cheer up, changing the subject and asking, "Have you settled everything for this trip to the Netherlands?"

He originally planned to stay for three days, but ended up staying for six days. He also encountered shootings and kidnappings. I don't know how things went.

If it doesn't work out, then he will have to go to the Netherlands again, right?

Fu Zhenzhuo pondered for a moment before saying, "Fortunately, everything is as expected."

Before my grandfather disappeared, he did appear in the Netherlands. The surveillance footage showed that it was about three and a half years ago. At that time, my grandfather's Alzheimer's was still under control, and he did seem very lucid in the surveillance footage. But during that time, my grandfather should have been recuperating in Country M. How could he have gone to the Netherlands without saying anything?

No one in the family knew the situation. Even the nanny who took care of Grandpa in Country M didn't know the truth. She just said that Grandpa wanted to go out for a walk and asked her not to mention it to anyone.

In the Netherlands, the surveillance footage showed that my grandfather was wandering around alone most of the time, but he once met someone in a restaurant. However, that person was sitting in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, so no one knew who that person was.

My grandfather didn’t know anyone in the Netherlands, and judging from the surveillance footage, he didn’t have any friends either. He only met that person once.

Who that person is? This is the last doubt.

After that, my grandfather returned to China and disappeared in North City until he suddenly died.

So it can be said that he found nothing during his trip to the Netherlands this time, but there were more doubts.

After hearing his answer, Xu Yansang couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to the Netherlands next?"

Fu Zhen paused, then looked down at her, his dark eyes deep, as if he wanted to see something hidden from her face.

"No. You...can't bear to see me go?"

Xu Yansang's heartbeat suddenly quickened, her cheeks and ears burned hot, and she nervously denied, "Of course not. I'm just... curious about what's going on between you and Lawyer Bai."

Hearing her denial without hesitation, Fu Zhenzhuo felt a little disappointed. However, after hearing her next words, he asked in surprise, "Lawyer Bai? Bai Lang?"

Didn't he break up with Bai Lang in front of her last time? Why did he bring it up with Bai Lang again?

Xu Yansang didn't dare to look up at him, fearing that she would reveal something. She said nonchalantly, "Yeah, didn't you go to the Netherlands to pursue Lawyer Bai this time?"

Fu Zhen was speechless for a moment.

He went to the Netherlands without telling her the specific reason, so she thought he was going to chase...her husband?

He looked at her depressed look, and suddenly he felt a little hopeful, "Don't you like me being with Lawyer Bai?"

Xu Yansang lowered her head and missed the burning in his eyes. When she heard him ask this, she was afraid that he would misunderstand something, so she quickly denied it, "Of course not, it's just... I just felt that he hurt you so deeply before, but you treated him so well, and I'm afraid you will follow in my footsteps."

Fu Zhenchuo's expectations were dashed, and his excitement and nervousness calmed down.

Yes, she was just worried that he might be in love from a friend's perspective.

Fu Zhenzhuo took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and tried to act casually and said, "Don't worry, I won't."

At the same time, she made up her mind again that she must not let Bai Lang appear in front of her again before she made any progress with her.

This lie caused Bai Lang to be too lethal.

But to Xu Yansang, his words became a disguised admission: he did go to the Netherlands for Bai Lang.

She felt so upset that she didn't want to continue this topic.

It was almost time for Chen Qiao to finish school, so she said to Fu Zhen, "Go pick up Chen Qiao first."

After the last time Chen Qiao was taken away by Xia Yuyan, she got into the habit of picking up Chen Qiao in advance. Before, Chen Ranxing also waited at the school gate half an hour in advance.

Fu Zhenzhuo happened to have something to arrange, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you take a rest first. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring it back."

Xu Yansang had no appetite. She couldn't control her sadness when she thought that he would never like her.

She smiled nonchalantly, "You can buy whatever you want, I'm fine with anything."

"it is good."

As Fu Zhentuo left the ward and the door was closed, Xu Yansang raised her uninjured arm and rubbed her face.

What should she do? She seemed to be losing control of herself.

At first, she just watched him being with others as an outsider, but after she realized that she liked him, she was able to control her emotions well.

She thought that as long as she hid herself, it wouldn't matter if she was his wife of a sham marriage for the rest of her life, because she didn't like anyone else anyway.

But recently, she seemed to have gotten too much. His gentleness and protection made her want more and more. She... became greedy.

She was worried that if this continued, everything would get out of control. Maybe in the end, they wouldn't even be able to be friends.

What should she do? Should she divorce and end all ties? But she was a little reluctant... and no matter what she chose, they would end up never seeing each other again.

For the first time in her life, she hated herself for her indecisiveness.

On the other side, Fu Zhenmu had just walked out of the ward when he received a call from Grandma Fu.

Grandma Fu said warmly, "Ah Zhuo, has Yansang seen the gift I gave her? Does she like it?"

Fu Zhenzhuo paused for a moment and said calmly, "She declined."

Grandma Fu exclaimed, "Ah!" She couldn't believe it. "How could that be? I was afraid she would think too much, so I changed the price on purpose. Why didn't she accept it? Doesn't she like it?"

"You deliberately changed the price, changing something worth 25 million to 25? Do you think there is any difference between something worth million and something worth ? Both are prices she cannot afford." Fu Zhenzhuo's expression was a little indescribable.

"Is 25 a lot?" Grandma Fu wondered seriously, "It's just the price of a custom-made cheongsam, it shouldn't make her suspicious, right?"

Fu Zhentuo curled the corners of his mouth, and there was a hint of a sigh in his voice.

"In order to adapt to her lifestyle, I even bought a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and a house in the city but it's only 25 square meters. Grandma, you want to act like an ordinary person, can you act more like one? Which ordinary person would spend yuan to buy a bracelet?"

Grandma Fu asked in confusion, "How much should I spend then?"

"Two hundred and fifty," Fu Zhen said calmly, "or two thousand and five, never more than three thousand."

Grandma Fu was not convinced. "With such a small amount of money, are you sending away a beggar? My Yansang..."

"She's from my family." Fu Zhen interrupted her and emphasized, "She's just an ordinary person who earns more than 10,000 yuan a month. If you give her too much, it will scare her."

After a pause, he added, "Even if you have to give it to her, you can tamper with the price tag, or save it first and give it all to her when she returns to the Fu family."

Grandma Fu felt wronged. "But the big room I prepared for her at home is almost full. When are you going to bring her back?"

Fu Zhen copied, "...I don't know."

"Waste!" Grandma Fu hung up the phone angrily.

Far away in the Netherlands, across the ocean, Tang Youyou saw her mother-in-law hung up the phone, and hurried over to ask, "Mom, what did Ah Zhuo say? Does Yan Sang like the gift you gave her or the gift I gave her?"

Grandma Fu glared at her and said, "You think my gift is too expensive, so you won't even accept it."

Tang Youyou was immediately happy, "Of course not. I told her that you can't give her something so expensive. Over 20 million will scare her. Look how good I am at choosing. I can let her play around with something worth several million, and she won't feel too much pressure."

Grandma Fu rolled her eyes at her. "Is it possible that they didn't recognize that it was a limited edition by the chief designer of a high-end luxury brand? Maybe they thought it was something they bought from a street stall for a few dozen yuan."

Judging from the price range of the gifts that A'qu just gave, it is very likely.

Tang Youyou's eyes widened. "No way? Such a big logo!"

"Do you think Yansang is like you, obsessed with money? She may not even know what luxury brands there are." Grandma Fu sat down calmly and poured herself a cup of tea.

Although Yan Sang confiscated her bracelet, she also regarded the gift from Tang Youyou as a worthless toy. After rounding it off, neither she nor Tang Youyou succeeded.

Grandma Fu expressed her satisfaction.

Tang Youyou frowned, puzzled. How could she not see such a big emerald and 108 big diamonds?

Xu Yansang really didn’t see it.

When Fu Zhenmu brought Chen Qiao back, she was looking at the sparkling princess surrounded by 108 flower-guarding messengers, wondering whether she should use old clothes to make two small clothes for her to wear?

If you look closely, this little princess is quite cute. She has no resistance to cute things.

Chen Qiao came back, said hello to Xu Yansang, and then went back to do his homework obediently.

Fu Zhenzhuo put the food aside and was about to serve her when his cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and took a look at it, then said to Xu Yansang, "I'll take the call first."

Xu Yansang nodded, "Just keep busy."

Fu Zhenzhuo turned and walked out of the ward, closing the door, before answering the phone and asking in a deep voice, "Any clues?"

The new assistant's serious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Fu, I found the hospital under your name. It's the one where Miss Xu is staying now."
