Chapter 75 But I'm willing to do anything for you...
That text message wasn't actually finished.
At that time, under the persuasion of both Shen Rongyang and Lin Fengyuan, Fu Qingli decided to study abroad.
Fu Qingli considered having Lin Fengyuan talk to Lin Xi directly, but then felt that she couldn't be so irresponsible; for such an important decision, she should talk to her first.
It was too difficult to ask Lin Xi to change her future plans and go to a foreign country with him.
After much consideration, Fu Qingli chose a compromise – sending a message.
As I was carefully choosing my words, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Looking through the peephole, Fu Qingli saw Fu Wenxun and Su Yi'an at the door, but she didn't intend to open it.
When Fu Wenxun saw that he didn't react, he started banging on the door violently, making so much noise that the neighbors across the hall opened their doors to ask what was going on.
It was late at night, and Fu Qingli didn't want to disturb the other guests, so she had no choice but to let them in.
He didn't care why the two had come, opened the door, went back to the sofa, and continued editing the unfinished text message.
Fu Wenxun knew that Shen Rongyang and his group were making arrangements for Fu Qingli to go abroad, and thought there was hope, so he brought Su Yi'an to his door to ask him to accept his better arrangements.
Seeing Fu Qingli acting as if they didn't exist, cautiously exchanging messages with Lin Xi, her anger exploded instantly, and she was furious.
She snatched the phone and smashed it against the wall, yelling, "What's so great about that lousy cop's daughter?! She's got you completely infatuated, willing to give up your promising future and the Fu family!"
Fu Wenxun used too much force, and the phone screen shattered instantly upon hitting the wall, rendering it unable to power on.
Fu Qingli always thought that the unfinished message was never sent, but she never expected that it would become the source of their breakup back then.
After hearing his account of the scene, Lin Xi's sobs gradually subsided: "I knew that text message wasn't finished, but when I rushed to find you and saw Su Yi'an, I assumed you had accepted their arrangement."
“I’ve already explained Su Yi’an’s situation to you. I really didn’t expect her to stay in the apartment.” Fu Qingli sighed. “At that time, I didn’t have a cell phone, and the hospital was full of Fu Wenxun’s people. I was afraid that trying to contact you would cause you trouble, so I held back until Grandpa was out of danger.”
But by then, Lin Xi had blocked all his contact information.
"You hated me so much back then? And then you just left me like that."
Lin Xi always thought she was the one who was abandoned, but she never expected that she was the one who gave up on Fu Qingli.
"No." Fu Qingli hugged Lin Xi tightly, making her nestle into his body. "I only hate myself. It's clearly my fault for being useless and unable to protect you, yet I asked you to do things you didn't want to do, making you pay for my incompetence."
“It’s not like that,” Lin Xi couldn’t help but start crying again, wrapping her arms around Fu Qingli’s neck, pressing her forehead and cheek against his, their breaths mingling, “Brother, you’re so good, so incredibly good! If I had known it was like that, I would have gone with you!”
How could I bear to break up with him?
If you don't feel like you're spending every day together, how can you bear the distance in a foreign land?
But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." Because of this twist of fate, they were separated for six whole years.
In their most desperate moments, they didn't even know if they would ever see each other again, and they just relied on each other's memories to get through one painful day after another.
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xi's lips were sealed by Fu Qingli's. His lips and tongue came at her aggressively, impatiently conquering her territory, leaving no corner untouched, determined to make her taste his own.
The kiss lasted a long time, until their lips were sore, but they still couldn't bear to separate.
At some point, Lin Xi found herself sitting face-to-face with Fu Qingli on her lap.
Lin's skirt made this soul connection very convenient, but in the second half she was too exhausted and leaned on Fu Qingli's shoulder to let him do what he wanted.
Fu Qingli nibbled on her soft earlobe, repeating over and over, "Xiaoxi, say you love me!"
Lin Xi sobbed, trying her best to express her love in a hoarse voice: "Fu Qingli, I love you!"
That night, she realized that in this relationship, no one was completely invincible. Even Fu Qingli, who was always in the lead, felt insecure.
He usually tried his best to soothe her anxiety and fear, but deep down he was also afraid that she would leave him again.
After the passion subsided, Lin Xi, drenched in sweat, was lifted up in his arms. She was completely exhausted, but before her last shred of consciousness disappeared, she smiled and solemnly promised, "Fu Qingli, we will be together forever. I will never leave you again!"
Looking at the sleeping Lin Xi, Fu Qingli gently kissed her relaxed brow with tenderness: "I will never let you leave me again!"
The extreme emotional fluctuations were too exhausting, and Lin Xi didn't regain consciousness until the sun was high in the sky.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Fu Qingli's handsome, serene sleeping face.
For the first time, Lin Xi didn't experience the usual dazed feeling of returning from fantasy to reality. Instead, her heart was filled with a sense of security and happiness thanks to Fu Qingli.
She raised her hand and gently stroked his full forehead and deep brow bone, then followed it down his high nose and lingered between his thin lips.
Thinking of last night, when Fu Qingli anxiously made herself say "I love you" to him over and over again with those thin lips, Lin Xi felt like crying again.
His unease was so deeply hidden that it was difficult for anyone to discern it.
But seeing it made one's heart ache, and he silently processed all this panic.
Six years of separation, both of us are covered in wounds.
But she was only concerned with her own vulnerability and never really looked at Fu Qingli's sadness.
She couldn't help but kiss his thin lips: "Brother, I love you, I love you so much!"
The sound was very soft, but loud enough for the person next to you to hear clearly.
The man, whom she thought was still asleep, suddenly rolled over and pinned her down, showering her with kisses and stealing all the sweetness she had hidden away.
As the rain subsided, Lin Xi burst into tears upon seeing the sticky water stains on Fu Qingli's lips: "Brother, you don't have to do this."
Fu Qingli leaned down without hesitation and whispered in her ear, "But I'm willing to do anything for you, as long as you continue to love me!"
Fu Qingli still cooked lunch himself, but he woke up after noon. To save time, he simply pan-fried two steaks and cooked some pumpkin porridge.
He cut the steak and placed it in front of Lin Xi before slowly starting to calculate the bill.
"So, you promised me yesterday, but in the end you still went online to check the trending topics?"
Lin Xi paused, her fork of steak twirling, and gave a sheepish "Mmm," trying to skip the topic: "Fu Qingli, your steak is pretty good."
"Hmm, thank you for the compliment." Fu Qingli remained unmoved and continued to the previous topic, "Why didn't you listen?"
His probing questions suddenly reminded Lin Xi of why she went online.
"It's not that I'm disobedient, it's that I received two text messages."
She remembered that her phone was still in the living room, so she put down her fork and got up to get it.
But as soon as I stood up, my thighs gave way and I almost fell down.
Fortunately, Fu Qingli reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and helping her regain her balance.
"What text message?"
Fu Qingli helped her sit back down in the chair and placed the fork in her hand. "You need your phone? I'll go get it."
Fu Qingli knew Lin Xi's phone password, but he didn't unlock it without her permission. Instead, he handed it to Lin Xi to unlock, and only after finding the two text messages did he take the phone and look through it.
Upon seeing the photo, Fu Qingli frowned deeply and immediately explained, "I went back to the Fu family because Fu Wenxun and the housekeeper called to say that Grandpa was seriously ill, but I didn't expect it to be a lie. I only saw Su Yi'an when I got to the door. We didn't go together. If I had known she was there beforehand, I wouldn't have gone there at all."
Fu Qingli never imagined that one day the Fu family would use Fu Huahui's health condition to trick her into going back.
"Yes, I believe you. Is Grandpa alright?"
Fu Qingli smiled somewhat bitterly: "Yeah, it's nothing."
He didn't want to tell Lin Xi that scheming between relatives could reach such a sordid level.
Fortunately, those things are no longer my concern.
Lin Xi was clever and immediately guessed Fu Wenxun's purpose: "Are they looking for you because of the trending topics online? Do they want to persuade you to marry Su Yi'an again?"
She could guess that the two text messages were either sent by Su Yi'an or sent by someone she had asked, and the purpose was naturally the same as before.
Moreover, the trending topics online are clearly paving the way for the announcement of the marriage between the Fu and Su families. This news will resolve all the negative comments about Su Yi'an and Yao Shi on the internet.
Since they had already guessed, Fu Qingli no longer hid anything: "Yes, that's right. Also, there's the matter of her work being similar to the Qingyuan logo. They wanted to resolve all of this by announcing their marriage."
The only sacrifice was Lin Xi.
He was afraid that Lin Xi would be reminded of the plagiarism incident in college, so he comforted her, "Xiao Xi, don't worry. Trust me this time, I will definitely handle everything online."
Lin Xi knew he was referring to the online slander and abuse against her. Her expression turned serious, and she pulled out a folder from her phone: "Fu Qingli, this is the copyright registration for that project proposal, along with the communication records from that time, plus the email sending time and IP address. I think this is enough to prove my innocence."
"As for the matter with Su Yi'an—"
She hesitated for a few seconds, then finally pulled out a video file: "You guessed it, she used photos of the scene of my father's accident to provoke me and insulted my parents, which is why I hit her! This is a video I recorded of her apologizing to me, I..."
Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Fu Qingli held her trembling hand tenderly and coaxed her gently, "Xiaoxi, don't think about those things anymore, I know."
Lin Xi shook her head vigorously: "No, you don't know! At that time, my condition flared up, and I lost control like a madwoman, only wanting her to shut up. But I'm not really a madwoman, I was just provoked by her, Fu Qingli, I'm really not a madwoman, and I don't want you to think I'm a madwoman!"
As she spoke, she became emotional and couldn't help but cry again. "So even though I know you've been looking for evidence, I didn't dare show you this video. I'm sorry, I was too selfish. I refused to face my situation and caused you a lot of trouble. If I had given you the video earlier, this might not have happened."
“Xiaoxi, listen to me.” Fu Qingli cupped her face, making her face him. “This isn’t selfishness, it’s self-protection. You did nothing wrong, and I’m happy you know how to protect yourself! It’s okay, there will be a better way to resolve everything. Even if you give me the video, they won’t let it go. If the solution is for you to expose your pain to provide evidence, then I’d rather not have it! I just want you to be alright!”
