The night of Qiao Aiyunâs car accident, Song Fengwan didnât sleep well all night. She tossed and turned on her bed before barely falling asleep at three in the morning. When she heard the sound of the door opening from downstairs, she was startled awake, jumped out of bed, put on her clothes, and ran downstairs.
âItâs not even half past five.â Yan Wangchuan looked at her. In his hands were a steaming hot steamed bun and a cup of hot soy milk.
âWas my mom alright last night?â
After all, she wasnât someone who could sleep peacefully when her mother was hospitalized.
âHer leg is injured, so itâs not convenient for her to get out of bed. Everything else is fine, and everything was normal last night.â He hadnât slept all night, so his eyes were bloodshot. He had specially washed up before coming, but he still couldnât hide his haggardness.
Staying with someone in the hospital and taking care of them around the clock was the most taxing on both the mind and body.
âThank you for working so hard last night.â
âIt was what I should do. Go eat some breakfast. Iâll go upstairs to pack some clothes for her.â Yan Wangchuan had no problem taking care of himself, but it was his first time taking care of a woman, so it was inevitable that he didnât consider everything.
âOkay.â
Yan Wangchuan went upstairs, and according to Qiao Aiyunâs description, he went to her closet to look for clothes. He opened a drawer, which contained all kinds of bras, and the next drawer was underwear.
His face instantly flushed red.
It was the first time he had stayed overnight to take care of someone at the hospital yesterday, and the process hadnât been smooth sailing. Qiao Aiyun was on her period, so she had to go to the bathroom frequently. But she wasnât able to move her legs, and she didnât want to do it on her bed, so Yan Wangchuan could only carry her to the bathroom.
There was a slight bruise on her abdomen, so it was difficult for her to bend over, and she could only get Yan Wangchuan to help her take off her pants. During the process, Qiao Aiyun was extremely flustered, and although Yan Wangchuan looked serious, his ears were also blood red.
Although the two of them had already had sex, it still felt very awkward to do this kind of thing.
When a woman is on her period, her private part would definitely be dirtier than usual. There were even sayings that menstrual blood was a very dirty thing and that men would become unlucky if they touched it. Many men were unwilling to touch this sort of thing, and Qiao Aiyun was embarrassed to let him handle it, so she suggested that he hire a caretaker.
Yan Wangchuan asked in return, âWhy do I need someone else to take care of my woman?â
Qiao Aiyunâs face flushed red. âYouâre usually pretty busy, and itâs not very convenient.â
âI mostly work online. Iâll just bring my laptop over. Thereâs nothing inconvenient. I like you, so Iâll naturally accept everything about you.â
Yan Wangchuan was inarticulate and straightforward, but his words made Qiao Aiyunâs eyes turn red, and she never mentioned hiring a caretaker again.

Yuncheng Second Hospital was very close to Song Fengwanâs school, so when Yan Wangchuan sent her to school, she asked to go and see Qiao Aiyun before going to school.
âYour mother doesnât want to delay your studies. She doesnât know I sent you there last night. She asked me to send you straight to school this morning.â
âIâll leave after taking a quick look at her. I promise I wonât delay my studies.â Otherwise, she wouldnât feel at ease.
âAt your current stage, nothing is more important than your studies.â
âI understand.â Song Fengwan looked at the decreasing number on the countdown to the college entrance examinations, feeling nervous.
âAt a time like this, everyone and everything has to be put aside.â
Song Fengwan nodded.
âEspecially Fu Chen, stay away from him.â
Song Fengwan was stunned and stammered, âWeâre justâ¦â
âI can tell that you like him. At your age, itâs indeed your first awakening of love. Fu Chen looks areâ¦â Yan Wangchuanâs mouth was clumsy, and he didnât know how to describe it for a moment. â⦠bearable.â
Song Fengwan cleared her throat.?Bearable?
My Third Brotherâs looks⦠you call that bearable? Your sense of aestheticsâ¦
I canât agree with them.
âThat brat isnât usually doing proper business, and he keeps coming to Yuncheng. Shouldnât a man prioritize his career at his age?â Yan Wangchuanâs fingers tightened around the steering wheel.
âYouâre currently at a critical period in your studies. The college entrance examination is very important. You canât be distracted because of a man.â
âI know.â Song Fengwan understood that he was saying this for her own good.?Heâs usually so silent, yet heâs actually starting to lecture me?
âI know you want to apply to the Central Academy of Fine Arts because you most likely want to be with Fu Chen.â
âNo.â Song Fengwan gritted her teeth. âMy dream school has always been the Central Academy of Fine Arts.â
âThe Central Academy of Fine Artsâ entrance scores are very high. If you donât do well this time, you can only go look at the gates of the academy and then continue being in a long-distance relationship with Fu Chen.â
After hearing his stern warning, Song Fengwan turned her head and looked out of the window.?Although heâs telling the truthâ¦
I want him to shut up so badly.
At around six oâclock, they arrived at the hospital. Qiao Wangbei and Qiao Xiyan were already here. The people in the hospital cafeteria were pushing carts around while hawking their breakfast items. Song Fengwan stayed in the hospital for two minutes before going to school.

Yuncheng, Fu residenceâ¦
Yesterday, Sun Zhen had hit someone with his car and caused serious injuries. Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua had stayed at the police station until late at night before returning home.
The next morning, Fu Zhongli went to work as usual, and Fu Chen got up to copy scriptures as usual. Song Fengwanâs college entrance examination was only a hundred days away, so Fu Chen was thinking about reducing the number of times he visited her to let her study in peace. At around nine in the morning, he bought a fruit basket and went to the hospital. Then he would prepare to return to the capital in the evening.
When he returned to the Fu residence, it was already close to 11 a.m. Before the car even stopped, he saw a car that didnât belong to the family parked in the courtyard.
âThird Master, it looks like the Sun familyâs car,â Shi Fang said.
âThat should be Sun Gongdaâs car. Didnât he go overseas? When did he come back?
âDid he come back because of Sun Zhenâs incident?â
Fu Chen didnât say anything. After the car stopped, he pushed the door open and got out.
Sun Zhen was Sun Gongdaâs adopted son, so Sun Zhenâs household register was still under his family. If something happened to him, the police would definitely inform Sun Gongda, so his return was expected.
With him appearing here now, he probably isnât here for anything good.
As expected, as soon as Fu Chen reached the door, he heard the sound of an argument coming from inside the houseâ¦
â⦠Do you know how much this matter has affected our family? Now, the police are suing him for attempted murder, and the news has already spread across the entire business circle. Theyâre now saying that my adopted son has killed someone. Iâm utterly embarrassed.
âI heard that he came to beg you for help. Even if you didnât help him, you could have at least hired a lawyer for him.
âYet you even personally called the police to arrest him?â
â¦
âHow do you want me to help him? The facts and evidence are all present. Donât you know how serious a crime a hit and run is? If someone had really died, itâs only right for him to repay it with his life!â Sun Qionghuaâs attitude was very firm this time.
She had indeed doted on the children in her family too much. Had it been merely a small mistake like in the past, she would have helped, but this was attempted murder.
She was still very clear-minded on major issues like this.
âYuncheng is your territory. Canât you use your connections to find someone to help?
âOur family is already embarrassed enough. If thereâs a murderer in the family⦠I wonât be able to face anyone anymore!â
Sun Qionghua sneered. âBig Brother, after something like this happened, the only thing you can think about is your pride?â
âIf I had known earlier, I wouldnât have raised this stupid thing. He looked pretty smart when he was young, but the older he became, the stupider he became. I couldnât train him at all. This idiot!â
When Sun Qionghua heard Sun Zhenâs words previously, her heart had trembled, and she couldnât sleep all night. Now that she heard her brother say this, she only felt that her insides were burning.
âSince you canât treat him like your own son, you shouldnât have taken him in back then!â Sun Zhen didnât live a wealthy life in the past, but he was free and unrestrained. It was normal for him to become reserved and careful after entering an affluent family.
âYouâre the one who caused Sun Zhen to become like this!
âSo you deserve it!â
Hearing this, Sun Gongda was furious. âSun Qionghua!â
âDid you and Sun Rui tell me a single truth about what she did in private?! Even the time she cut her wristâ¦â Sun Qionghua sneered. âI only found out yesterday that it was all a lie.
âYou said that she tried to commit suicide and instigated me to settle scores with Third Brotherâ¦â
Sun Qionghua had rushed to the old Fu residence that day because she really thought that Sun Rui had tried to commit suicide and was hospitalized. At the time, there was even blood seeping through the gauze on Sun Ruiâs wrist. After all, Sun Rui was her biological niece, so she had never expected that someone would joke with their own life.
âYou two put on an act in an attempt to stop the rumors outside. The two of you even lied to me, which has caused me to be in a difficult position in the Fu family now. Is this what you wanted to see?
âAlso, on the night of the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, was it Song Fengwan who hurt her, or did Sun Rui bring it upon herself? Do you dare to tell me the truth?â
Sun Gongdaâs expression remained unchanged. âIf youâre not going to help, just say it. Donât change the topic.â
âYouâre my biological brother. What do you take me for? Do you dare to say that youâre not hiding anything from me?
âYou can completely deny it now.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut you have to swear on your daughter that you never wanted to use me from beginning to end and never hid the truth from me! Swear on our Sun familyâs future! As long as you dare to do this, Iâll help Sun Zhen hire a lawyer and promise to help him!
âItâs all to satisfy your so-called pride!â Sun Qionghua was domineering, and she refused to give in a single bit at this moment.
âYou⦠bitch!â Sun Gongda blew his top. He raised his hand, wanting to slap her.
Fu Chen stood at the door and was about to enter when someone entered the house before him.
âMr. Sun, this is the Fu family. This is not the place for an outsider like you to behave atrociously.â
