Xu Yansang nodded. If the effect was so good every time, it would not be unacceptable.

"Being pregnant is a troublesome thing in itself. The child is a matter between the two of us, so I will accompany you every time you come over in the future." Fu Zhen said, bending down to help her put on her shoes.

Coming out of the building, the lights were bright and a gust of wind blew over, and Xu Yansang shivered. Fu Zhenzhuo took off his coat and put it on her. Xu Yansang was afraid that he would be cold and insisted on not wearing it. Fu Zhenzhuo had no choice but to wrap her up with his coat, then bent down and picked her up horizontally.

Xu Yansang exclaimed, "What are you doing..."

Fu Zhenchu ​​chuckled, "I heard that it's warmer when two people are close together."

Fortunately, the car was not far away, and Fu Zhenmu opened the door and let her in. Xu Yansang was finally not so embarrassed.

The next day, the two went to Xu Daqiao's house for dinner.

Chen Qiao has apparently become Xia Junan's younger brother, following Xia Junan around, calling him brother. Xia Junan acts arrogant to everyone except Chen Qiao, where he is patient and gentle, really acting like a brother.

Even Xia Yanfang smiled and praised, "No wonder he has been so indifferent to me for so many years, he blames me for not giving him a sister."

Chen Qiao took advantage of the fact that no one was around and secretly ran to Xu Yansang and whispered, "Aunt Xu, I'm going to tell you a secret that only I know."

Xu Yansang smiled and asked, "What's the secret?"

Chen Qiao leaned close to her ear, covered her mouth with her hands and said, "Brother Jun'an has a big wound on his back. It's scary!"

Xu Yansang was stunned, "Brother Jun'an is injured? How did it happen?"

Chen Qiao shook his head. "Then I don't know. He wouldn't tell me when I asked him. He said he had something to do and went out the day before yesterday afternoon. I secretly saw it when he came back to take a shower."

Xu Yansang frowned, "Did you peek at my brother taking a bath?"

Chen Qiao stuck out his tongue and said, "I didn't look at him on purpose. I went to his room to look for him, and he happened to be taking off his clothes to take a shower..."

Xu Yansang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, don't do this again in the future. You should knock on the door before entering someone else's room, understand?"

Although she said this, she also knew that Chen Qiao was a steady person and it was only because he had too much fun playing with Xia Junan these days that he lost his composure.

In fact, she hoped that Chen Qiao could behave like a child, but since the girl was about to enter puberty, she still had to be controlled a little.

Chen Qiao smiled with eyes curved, "I understand, Aunt Xu."

She always feels so happy recently, really so happy. Although this kind of life has only lasted for half a year, she hopes she can live like this for the rest of her life.

Aunt Xu is gentle and kind. Although Uncle Fu looks cold, he is actually warm-hearted. Now that we have come to Aunt Xu's father's house, Uncle Xu is also very good to her, as is Brother Jun'an and Grandma Xia.

Everything was fine. How could she deserve such a life?

After she told Xu Yansang about this, she didn't care about it anymore. Although brother Jun'an said that this matter should not be told to others, she vaguely felt that this matter should be told to the adults. She couldn't explain so many reasons, but she just felt that she had to say it.

Now that she has finished talking, she believes that Aunt Xu can handle it well.

Xu Yansang rubbed her hair and let her continue playing.

In the afternoon, she took advantage of Chen Qiao's rest to go find Xia Junan.

Xia Junan was curled up in his chair playing games with headphones on. When he saw Xu Yansang coming over, he stopped the game, took off his headphones, and asked coolly, "What's the matter?"

Xu Yansang studied his expression, "Chen Qiao said you have a back injury."

Xia Junan sneered, "I knew this girl was unreliable. We agreed that this was a secret between the two of us, but she sold me out in the blink of an eye."

"She should have told me. If I hadn't known about it, your mother would have known about it." Xu Yansang frowned and said, "Let me see. Is the injury serious?"

Xia Junan didn't take it seriously and said nonchalantly, "It's not serious, I just bumped into it when I was playing football. Someone nearby illegally stacked pipes, so... the injury was just a bit embarrassing."

He gave Xu Yansang a look that said "you know what I mean". "You adults always don't follow the rules. You can even use a football field as a warehouse. How can you not take us children seriously?"

Xu Yansang was amused by his helpless tone, but still insisted, "Let me see."

Xia Junan used to love fighting and would come back covered in injuries from time to time. He never liked to treat his wounds and would only pour a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on them when they were about to fester. Xu Yansang saw it once and he grimaced in pain, but the next time, the scar healed and he forgot the pain.

This habit might be difficult to change, so she would feel more at ease if she saw it with her own eyes.

Xia Junan sighed and said helplessly, "I really can't do anything about you. When Chen Qiao saw me that day, she insisted that I was going to die. I swore several times before she gave up. And today you insisted on looking at my wounds."

He opened his coat and pulled up his long sleeves. "Here, look."

Xu Yansang saw a large bruise on his lean back, which looked like it was indeed caused by a collision. Apart from that, there was no broken skin. There was safflower oil smeared on it, and a fragrant smell came to her face.

Xu Yansang looked around the bruises and saw no other injuries. She was about to lift up his clothes in front. Xia Junan could no longer bear it and said, "Alright, if you continue, I will suspect you of sexual harassment. Doesn't Brother Fu care about you?"

Xu Yansang withdrew her hand awkwardly, "Sorry."

She had just forgotten that Xia Junan was an adult, a grown man. She was just concerned and wanted to see if he had any injuries, but she forgot the difference between men and women.

Being interrupted like this, Xu Yansang forgot to ask further questions and just said, "Be careful next time. The college entrance examination is coming soon. You must pay extra attention to what you eat and drink, and be careful when you go out. If you really want to play football, change the stadium next time, or take a taxi to a farther place. I will reimburse the taxi fare for your group."

She only hopes that Xia Junan can take the college entrance examination safely and healthily.

Xia Junan replied in annoyance, "I know!"

There was a hint of loneliness at the corner of his mouth.

Before leaving, Xia Yanfang pulled Xu Yansang and said enthusiastically, "Yansang, can you come next week? Next Monday is my birthday. I discussed it with your dad and want to celebrate my birthday seriously. You know, I have been taking care of Jun'an for the past few years and have not taken good care of myself."

Xu Yansang nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll be back then."

Xia Yanfang added, "Take Chen Qiao and Xiao Fu with you."

Xu Yansang nodded again, "Okay."

During these two times she came back, she rarely felt the feeling that her mother was still alive. Every time she went out, her mother would hold her back and give her countless instructions. It seemed that no matter how long they stayed together, she would never get tired of each other and her mother would never feel at ease no matter how many instructions she gave.

Of course, Xia Yanfang couldn't compare to her mother, but it still gave her a feeling of "returning to her mother's home." And looking at the smile on her father's face, he must have had a very comfortable time during this period.

How nice, she thought again, everything is slowly getting better.

Until Xu Yansang left, Xu Daqiao's comrade Zhong Cheng just came out of the small bedroom. The smile on Xu Daqiao's face disappeared immediately. He quickly pulled him back to the bedroom and said excitedly, "Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you to hide in the house when you are at my house? Why are you out again?"

Zhong Chenggang said aggrievedly, "I just wanted to get some fresh air after seeing everyone leave. Staying in the room every day is not a life for a human being."

Xu Daqiao glared at him. "What's wrong with you? Don't forget your current situation. You must not show your head now. If you are discovered, we will both be finished. Hang in there for a while. When the storm passes, you can be free as you want."

Zhong Chenggang lit a cigarette and sighed, "Okay."

Of course, you can't smoke.

"Go to the window and smoke. Stick your head out! My daughter hates the smell of cigarettes. If you fill the house with cigarette smell, I will never forgive you!"

Zhong Chenggang sighed, "What kind of life am I living now?"

Xu Yansang and Fu Zhenzhuo took Chen Qiao back home, and Fu Zhenzhuo received a call from Mao Qi, who reported in an orderly manner, "Boss Fu, the man named Zhong Chenggang is indeed Xu Daqiao's co-worker. The two worked on a construction site together four years ago. Xu Daqiao was a designer, and Zhong Chenggang was a laborer. They became friends because of their similar personalities. Before Xu Daqiao got into a car accident, the two had just handed in their resignations together. The specific reason is unknown."

Fu Zhenzhuo frowned, "Can't find out?"

Mao Qi responded, "It's very difficult to investigate. I took people to Zhong Chenggang's hometown. I originally wanted to find out from him indirectly, but he was very alert and ran away as soon as he found something wrong. There must be something hidden here."

Fu Zhen nodded. He had investigated the social relationships around Xu Daqiao as early as when he suspected that there was something wrong with Xu Daqiao's car accident. After much investigation, he found out that Zhong Chenggang was involved.

Just when they were about to investigate Zhong Chenggang, he actually ran away and hid with Xu Daqiao.

No one would believe me if you say there is no trick here.

Mao Qi hesitated and said, "Why don't I just ask Xu Daqiao and Zhong Chenggang..."

Fu Zhen said, "No, they won't trust you, and they won't even trust me."

The things hidden here might be secrets that could threaten their personal safety. Xu Daqiao and Zhong Chenggang are very vigilant. Although Xu Daqiao has accepted him now, he knows that Xu Daqiao only supports him because he thinks it is his daughter's choice, but he may not really consider him as his own.

"Let's continue investigating." Fu Zhenzhuo said in a deep voice, "Let's put Zhong Chenggang aside for now. He shouldn't show up again recently."

Today, although things were busy at his father-in-law's house all day, Zhong Chenggang didn't even show up, obviously trying to downplay his presence.

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "By the way, is there any news from Du Qiqi?"

Mao Qi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Something seems to be wrong with Miss Du and Mr. Feng."
