Qiao Jiusheng did not know what Fang Mu was thinking. She looked at Qiao Jiuyin, who lay in his arms like a deer, and made a suggestion. “Why don’t I accompany you to the hospital?”


  “Okay.”


  Fang Mu drove the car while Qiao Jiusheng supported Qiao Jiuyin. The two women sat in the back row.

  As she carried her sister, Qiao Jiusheng’s face was filled with worry.

  She had to act well.

  The sister in her arms was still crying, and Qiao Jiusheng was a little upset.

  In her opinion, something was definitely fishy about tonight’s matter.

  Besides, although Li Kui madly loved Qiao Jiuyin, according to what Qiao Jiusheng had observed, his love for Qiao Jiuyin was not a tacky physical infatuation. He loved Qiao Jiuyin like every designer loved their muse.

  Muse was high and mighty. It was what designers yearned for.

  No one would sully the muse they yearned for.

  When the car arrived at the hospital, Fang Mu carried Qiao Jiuyin for a checkup. Qiao Jiusheng grabbed her dress and ran errands for Qiao Jiuyin. She took the responsibility of carrying Qiao Jiuyin’s bag.

  After a round of examination, the doctors found no major issues with Qiao Jiuyin.

  However, Qiao Jiuyin still stayed in the hospital because she was frightened.

  Qiao Jiusheng looked at the weak beauty on the bed and clicked her tongue in wonder.?

  “Have a rest first. I’ll go buy some daily necessities for you.”


  After settling Qiao Jiuyin down, Fang Mu prepared to leave.

  However, Qiao Jiuyin suddenly grabbed his hand.

  Fang Mu looked down at her.

  Qiao Jiuyin’s eyes were red. She looked up at Fang Mu and asked in a choked voice, “Brother Mu, can you accompany me tonight?”


  Fang Mu remained cold and unmoved. However, he said, “Okay.”


  Qiao Jiuyin released her hand, and Fang Mu left.

  She leaned against the pillow and looked at Qiao Jiusheng, who silently sat at the side.

  “Sister-in-law, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you tonight,” Qiao Jiuyin weakly said.

  Qiao Jiusheng thought:?

  Even though she was gloating in her heart, Qiao Jiusheng indignantly said, “What are you talking about?! That pervert deserves to die. Where did he even come from?”


  Qiao Jiuyin nodded and sighed. “It really scared me to death. Fortunately, the babies are fine.” She happily touched her stomach, looking very motherly.

  Qiao Jiusheng looked at the stomach and felt complicated emotions.

  “Have a good rest. I have a night curfew. I have to go back.”


  She looked at the time and saw that it was almost nine o’clock.

  If she did not go home before 9: 30 pm, she would have to pay money.

  Even though Fang Yusheng was not at home, Qiao Jiusheng still had to abide by the family rules.

  Qiao Jiuyin was a little surprised. “Curfew?”?

  Qiao Jiusheng did not explain much to Qiao Jiuyin and left with her dinner bag.

  When she returned to the banquet, she went with Fang Yuqing. So, she did not drive the family Volkswagen. To go home, she called a taxi. When Qiao Jiusheng reached home, it was already past 9: 30 pm. She felt terrible when she heard Aunt Jin say, “Madam, Young Master Yusheng just called you.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

  “What did he say?”


  “He said to call him back when you reach home.”


  Qiao Jiusheng dialed the overseas number as if she were going to die.

  The call went through very quickly.

  Fang Yusheng said, “You’re 19 minutes late.”


  Qiao Jiusheng choked. After a while, she said, “Don’t deduct money. I came home late tonight because of a reason. Can you listen to my explanation?”


  She spoke in an aggrieved tone, making anyone who heard her pity her.

  Fang Yusheng pretended to be serious.

  Qiao Jiusheng immediately told him what had happened tonight.

  When Fang Yusheng heard this, he asked, “Whose car did you take?”


  Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

  “A taxi.”


  “At this late in the night, it’s dangerous to enter a taxi alone. If you encounter such things in the future, call the driver. The driver I hired for a few thousand yuan is not for show.”


  If Fang Yusheng had not said anything, Qiao Jiusheng would’ve forgotten that there was a professional driver at home.

  Hearing his words, Qiao Jiusheng felt very comfortable.

  “Okay.”


  Fang Yusheng asked again, “So, were you exposed?”


  Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled.?

  What she did not know was that all the matters regarding her that she deemed unimportant were important matters for Fang Yusheng.

  Seeing that Qiao Jiusheng remained silent, Fang Yusheng thought that she was affirming his doubt.

  He had never seen it before, but others saw it first.

  Qiao Jiusheng immediately quashed his thoughts. “No, I was wearing warm pants under my dress!”


  Fang Yusheng was stunned. When he spoke again, his voice contained a hint of a smile. “You’re so honest.”


  Qiao Jiusheng replied, “Yes.”


  “In your opinion, was what happened tonight really an accident?” Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng.

  Fang Yusheng answered, “This matter can be an accident to anyone else except for Qiao Jiuyin. It’s worth investigating.”


  “I think so too,” Qiao Jiusheng said.

  After thinking about it, Fang Yusheng felt that Qiao Jiuyin’s matter would not cause much trouble for the two of them. Thus, he did not pay too much attention to it. At this moment, he heard Qiao Jiusheng ask, “When are you coming back?”


  “Did you miss me?”


  The happiness in Fang Yusheng’s voice deepened.

  Qiao Jiusheng rolled her eyes. Ever since Fang Yusheng had confessed his wild intentions toward her in the meditation room, he had become more and more unrestrained. He had even learned how to tease her. Qiao Jiusheng replied, “No, take it that you heard wrong.”


  Fang Yusheng chuckled.

  The sound of his chuckle entered Qiao Jiusheng’s ears, making her bones tingle.

  “I’m not sure yet.”


  “Oh.”


  “Ah Sheng.”


  Fang Yusheng’s tone suddenly became serious.

  On the other hand, Qiao Jiusheng subconsciously sat up straight and listened to him talk about serious matters.

  “Wait for me to return,” Fang Yusheng said.

  Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.

  After a moment, she replied as if she had lost her soul.

  When Qiao Jiusheng hung up the phone, she suddenly felt her ears burning.

  She touched it, and her skin felt hot to the touch.

  Running out of the house, she looked up at the sky and thought:?

  ***

  “Are you done with the call?”


  Ji Yinbing leaned against the door frame, and a hint of relief flashed past her cold face.

  She had accidentally overheard Fang Yusheng’s conversation with his little wife. From the looks of it, he seemed to be very happy. Seeing Fang Yusheng like this, Ji Yinbing also got happy.

  Fang Yusheng turned around with his eyes still closed. “Done.”


  He asked again, “Is the outcome out?”


  Ji Yinbing’s expression turned serious as she replied, “It’s out.”


  “There’s bad news for you…”


  Ji Yinbing looked at Fang Yusheng’s expression.

  Unfortunately, this person never showed his emotions on his face. She could not read his mind.

  Fang Yusheng had already prepared for the worst.

  However, he still felt empty in his heart when he heard the words “bad news.”


  ?This thought really made him sad.
