Chapter 23 Have you ever thought about having a child with me?

He appeared behind her without her noticing, his shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular forearms.

Gu Xingnian didn't even have time to think about why he knew this before her brain reacted subconsciously.

She stepped aside to make room.

Fu Beichen sat down, his gaze calmly sweeping over the chaotic battle scene on the screen.

"Key".

He was concise and to the point.

Gu Xingnian quickly wrote a string of complex characters on a sticky note and handed it to him.

"02090630CNLFYAMS!"

Fu Beichen glanced at it, and the next second, his fingers landed on the keyboard.

That's not typing.

That was an indescribably fast... phantom!

So fast that only a blurry afterimage could be seen, the keyboard was being struck with a dense, rain-like sound.

The code on the screen refreshed rapidly like a waterfall, with each line of instructions being typed in precisely.

Instead of fixing Gu Xingnian's firewall, he directly wrote a new counterattack program.

track.

position.

Reverse osmosis.

On the screen, the code refreshed at an unbelievable speed, and the previously arrogant attack path now seemed to have met its nemesis.

It was quickly cut off, eliminated, and backfired!

About five minutes later, the alarm stopped.

The opponent was clearly stunned, their attack momentum collapsed instantly, and they even began to show signs of fleeing.

Fu Beichen's eyes were icy cold, his fingers never stopping. He not only kicked out all the intruders, but even followed the network cable, and a series of forced offline notifications popped up on the screen.

On the screen, those previously arrogant attacking IP addresses turned gray and disappeared one by one.

It was as if it had been instantly extinguished by an invisible hand.

But Fu Beichen did not stop.

The fingers continued to tap, creating a new program.

"Done!"

He installed the program into the system and lightly tapped a few keys on the keyboard.

A shield icon with a light blue sheen appeared on Gu Xingnian's computer desktop.

"I made you a tight shield. With this, it won't be so easy for them to break in again."

Gu Xingnian looked at the shield, then at the man beside her, her heart still pounding.

I'm so glad I got his help today, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He was her hero once again!

She once thought he was so far away, but now he seems so close.

Thanks.

She uttered two words, her voice slightly hoarse from the tension she had just experienced.

She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang.

The name "Lu Lie" was displayed on the screen.

Gu Xingnian picked up her phone and walked to the window to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Niannian? How are things on your end? Why aren't you connecting to the sharing?" Lu Lie's voice was filled with anxiety.

"It's alright now." Gu Xingnian looked at Fu Beichen's back and said in a calm tone, "It's been resolved! Don't worry, the data wasn't lost, and I'll transfer it to a new location tomorrow."

She hung up the phone and turned around.

Fu Beichen had already stood up and was looking at her computer screen.

His gaze seemed to linger on the name of a certain encrypted folder.

It seems that the contents contain information related to both her and Lu Lie, which may be related to the Global Medical Summit.

"What treasures are hidden in your computer?" he asked, his voice low but carrying a sense of pressure. "That they've attracted so many experts to try and snatch them?"

Gu Xingnian paused for a moment before quietly saying:

"Fu Beichen, thank you for helping me today. But everyone has their own secrets, don't they?"

Her tone was calm, with a distant politeness.

"I can only tell you that these things are not illegal, not criminal, and will not harm anyone. You can rest assured."

Fu Beichen stared at her for a few seconds, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions.

"Since I helped you, shouldn't you repay me?"

Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat, and she tried her best to suppress the suspicion in her heart.

"Fine! What do you want in return?"

Fu Beichen approached her, his eyes filled with malicious lust. He reached out his large hand, wanting to caress her face.

She instinctively took a step back.

Fu Beichen stared at her, his eyes swirling with unfathomable emotions.

"You hate it when I touch you that much?"

His voice carried a mocking tone, with a hint of barely perceptible hurt. "You used to enjoy that."

At this moment, those beautiful moments floated into his mind.

It has to be said that his body loved her more than his heart!

Gu Xingnian turned her head sharply, a chilling smile playing on her lips.

"Fu Beichen, you have a good memory, you even remember 'before'. Get your facts straight, what is our relationship now!"

"What relationship?" Fu Beichen sneered. "Gu Xingnian, as long as we haven't gotten the divorce certificate, you're still my wife! You should fulfill your duties as a wife!"

He reached out again, wanting to touch her face, just on a whim to tease her.

Gu Xingnian abruptly turned her head away, her eyes full of wariness.

"Fu Beichen, why bother? Wouldn't it be better if we parted amicably?"

Seeing her disgusted look, he suddenly laughed.

"Gu Xingnian!" He gently touched her chin and said seriously, "You really don't want it?"

For three years, she has never refused herself.

Gu Xingnian slapped his large hand away again and said seriously.

"Fu Beichen, thank you for helping me today, but I won't repay you with my own efforts! If you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

"Okay, remember what you said. I'll come back to collect this favor later!"

His tone was domineering and smug.

Gu Xingnian took out a small, square blue notepad from the drawer and wrote four words: "A favor."

He even solemnly signed his English name below! It was just a few scribbles, and you couldn't even make out what the letters were.

"Here you go, Mr. Fu, please don't lose it."

She spoke with a very serious expression.

Fu Beichen took the colored paper and looked at the neat handwriting on it.

His eyes were deep and dark!

When did he, the richest man in the world, start asking a young woman for favors?

interesting!

He didn't know why he was like this.

Maybe... he doesn't hate her that much.

Gu Xingnian could clearly sense that he was preoccupied tonight, as if something was about to happen.

She poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

Fu Beichen's lips twitched, but he still took it and took a sip.

He took another sip before putting the cup down.

Gu Xingnian took a deep breath and slowly spoke:

"Fu Beichen, it's been three years. Have you ever thought about having a child with me?"

She's always wanted to know the answer!

Of course, she wanted to test him further, wondering if the innocent child was related to him.

Fu Beichen was taken aback; he hadn't expected her to ask such a question.

However, he had never thought about what life would be like for the two of them to have a child.

It's been three years, and they've tried their best, but it's just that her belly won't cooperate!

However, he would never give her such an answer!

He gave a nonchalant twitch of his lips, and cold words slipped from his lips:

"Do you think anyone is qualified to give birth to the Fu family's heir?"

This sentence undoubtedly pushed Gu Xingnian into the abyss.

"So, even if I have a child... you still... won't want him?"

She clenched her fists, glaring at him with obvious anger.

Fu Beichen smiled calmly as he watched her about to explode.

"I won't answer your hypothetical question; it's pointless!"

Suddenly, Fu Beichen's pupils contracted sharply, and he grabbed her hand, his voice urgent:

"You're pregnant?"
