I was so angry with him that my liver hurt again.

He's worse than an animal.

In this lifetime, I haven't even pestered him to death yet, and he still needs my family's support. Why is he so heartless and ungrateful to my father?

Although initially no one in my family thought highly of him as a son-in-law with a background as a bodyguard, everyone treated him politely out of consideration for me.

My father was particularly keen to cultivate him—

He probably just dislikes everything associated with the house.

I couldn't bring myself to beg him to cooperate, so I stepped onto the steps leading to the courtyard gate.

He caught up after taking only a couple of steps.

His hand touched my waist, his warm palm caressing my sensitive and delicate waist through the silk fabric.

My heart skipped a beat.

"I'll cooperate, but what's in return?" He leaned close to my ear, his husky, magnetic voice overflowing with ambiguity.

I instantly understood what he meant, twisted my body to get away from him, and gave him a disgusted look.

I was too lazy to even call him a "scumbag" and led the way into the traditional Chinese courtyard.

In the bedroom, my dad was sitting leaning against the headboard, with an IV drip in the back of his left hand.

Seeing that he was alright, my eyes welled up with tears. "Dad—"

I ran toward him.

My dad grabbed a blue-and-white porcelain teacup from the bedside table and smashed it at me, splashing water onto my forehead.

The cup hurtled toward my forehead, and I was pulled forcefully by someone.

With a "crack," the teacup fell onto the dark brown wooden floor, rolled around, and spilled tea everywhere.

Fu Yanshen's hand was still tightly gripping my arm; he was the one who had pulled me just now.

"Sheng Qiaoqiao, how dare you come back!" My dad glared at me and said angrily.

"Dad, please don't be angry, okay? I'm afraid you'll get sick from being angry, I'm so scared..."

I wasn't afraid of my dad getting angry at all. I walked to his bedside, knelt down, and coaxed him in a sweet and affectionate way.

"You'll drive me crazy one day! Look at what you've done, making it known to everyone, is that even right? Have you ever thought about how Yan Shen feels?"

My dad continued to berate me.

I know he's feeling both pain and anger towards me right now.

From childhood to adulthood, he and my mother have always spoiled me, and they always felt that they had spoiled me too much.

"Chairman Sheng, I don't care about those rumors."

At this moment, Fu Yanshen actually spoke up for me.

Wasn't he unwilling to cooperate with my acting? Just now, my dad hit me, and he protected me.

I immediately stood up, walked to his side, and affectionately took his arm.

"Dad, we're doing great. The last time I threatened to divorce you was because of a small misunderstanding. We've already made up!"

To avoid worrying my dad, I pretended to be happy and sweet, and kept shaking Fu Yanshen's arm as I spoke.

My dad looked at us with a skeptical expression.

“Dad, didn’t I sign an artist before? The scandal I caused was to promote his debut. We live in the age of internet fame; being noticed is better than being ignored.” I explained again.

"Also, the money I spend on my artists and bodyguards is all paid for by Fu Yanshen. He fully supports my career!"

"Otherwise, how could a businessman like him become such a traitor?"

"Honey, don't you think so?"

I looked up at Fu Yanshen with a smile on my face, asking him in a coquettish tone, and kept winking at him.

Husband, that's a term from a distant past.

In my past life, I always called him "husband".

Fu Yanshen looked at me with a slight daze, without responding.

"Yan Shen, how can you spoil her like this? You've spoiled her rotten! She even buys this and that for those men, it's just too much!"

My dad is standing up for Fu Yanshen again.

Little did he know, he didn't care at all.

"That's going too far. Are you not going to buy me any more clothes in the future? You haven't bought me any clothes in ages."

Fu Yanshen tightened his grip on my waist and said in a deep voice.

His tone was clearly sour.

I looked at him in surprise, unable to tell whether he was acting or speaking from the heart.

Ha, of course it's acting.

I snapped back to reality.

He's just worried about his money, but at the same time, he can put on a show in front of my dad.

"Honey, I'll go shopping for you tomorrow. It's getting cold, we should get you some autumn clothes!" I said to him with a smile.

As she spoke, she even helped him straighten his shirt collar in a demure manner.

Seeing how "affectionate" we were, my dad felt much better and invited us to have dinner with him.

As soon as I left his room, I broke free from Fu Yanshen's grasp. "Not bad acting, you can even act jealous."

I gave him a sarcastic remark and walked away to find Dr. Zhou.

Dr. Zhou is my father's family doctor. According to him, my father's heart is healthy every year during his physical examination. Today's situation should be due to tachycardia, which caused cardiogenic syncope.

It's nothing serious. He advised me not to upset him anymore.

In my past life, my father died of a heart attack. I was still worried and strongly suggested that he have my father go to the hospital for a thorough check-up as a precaution.

I know I need to be more careful in the future.

Last time I went through a divorce, my parents had a very unpleasant argument. My mother is now practicing vegetarianism and chanting scriptures at Mount Wutai.

This time, my dad fainted from anger again.

I feel so guilty towards them.

Fortunately, my dad was in a good mood during dinner and chatted and laughed with me.

"It's very late today, you two should stay overnight."

My dad seemed worried about me and Fu Yanshen, and I felt like he was deliberately letting us stay overnight.

Seeing that Fu Yanshen did not refuse, I did not refuse either.

I also want to stay and spend more time with my dad.

The moon is beautiful tonight, and I'm accompanying him to admire it in the courtyard.

“Qiaoqiao, every time I see this bright moon, I think of your mother…”
