Fu Yao's sobs cast a gloomy shadow over the quiet house, and Fu Quan, unusually, showed impatience. He sighed, ultimately not blaming her; it was all his fault for not keeping her by his side.
He reached out and patted Fu Yao's trembling shoulder. "Don't cry, your mother is fine now."
Not wanting to waste any more time dealing with this matter, he dismissed all the previous maids who had been taking care of him and replaced them with two elderly people from the Fu family to look after him for the time being.
Then he asked Fu Yao to stay at his home for the night before leaving, and went upstairs himself.
Watching Fu Quan's retreating figure, she suppressed her earlier aggrieved expression and coldly stared at her father.
When Fu Quan pushed open the door, Wu Mu was not in the room, and his anxiety was palpable.
He immediately ran next door, pushed open the door, and found that Wu Mu had opened the safe and laid out a bunch of silk boxes on the floor, like he was holding a private jewelry exhibition. He picked up one, then shook his head, and picked up another one.
When Wu Mu saw him standing at the door, she excitedly said to him, "Come and help me decide which one to give to Yao Yao. I think purple suits her, but I also feel that the blue Ocean Star suits her well."
As she spoke, she reached for the pink jewelry that was further away, saying, "She has fair skin, so pink would definitely suit her. And she's wearing a pink cheongsam today!"
Seeing that Fu Quan hadn't come over yet, she said reproachfully, "Come over here quickly and help me choose!"
Fu Quan smiled and said, "She'll definitely like everything you pick, otherwise you could just give it all to her."
"Hehe, that's true. Anyway, these things will eventually go to Yao Yao, but... since it's the first time I'm giving them away, I want to pick the most suitable one!"
She was talking to herself, and seeing how excited she was, Fu Quan quickly stopped her hand and forced her to look at him, saying, "You can't do this again like tonight, or I'll worry."
But the woman's attention was not on him at all, so he had to use Song Xingyao's name again: "Yaoyao will be worried too, you scared her tonight."
She calmed down, met the man's gaze, and nodded solemnly.
Fu Yao, who was standing at the door, overheard their conversation. She knew that the Yao Yao Fu Quan was referring to was not herself. She had intended to come up and say hello to Fu Quan before leaving, but she overheard the couple's conversation and turned around to go downstairs and leave the Fu family home.
Fu Quan helped Wu Mu pick up the boxes scattered on the floor and put them back into the safe. He told her that Dr. Lin would come to examine her the next morning.
This time, she didn't resist and kept pestering Fu Quan, "If the test results are fine, can we invite Yao Yao over for dinner?"
Fu Quan tried to comfort her, but he was actually thinking about what to do.
After all, Song Xingyao is not her biological daughter, and it is unrealistic to expect her to always follow Wu Mu's wishes. Not to mention whether she would agree or not, the Fu family would never agree to such a relationship. If word got out, there would be endless gossip.

The next morning, when Song Xingyao woke up, she saw that no one was beside her and assumed that he had gone back to the company. The next second, she saw him come out of the bathroom, wearing pajamas, and he did not seem to be leaving.
"Fu Siming? Aren't you going to the company today?" she asked.
"Yes, I'll stay home with you today. I've already asked for leave for you from Old Wu, and he told you to get some rest." Worried that she might ask to go to the scene again, he simply blocked her way out.
When Song Xingyao heard him say that, she remembered that today was the first day of the event. However, the preliminary work had been arranged very well, so even if she didn't go today, nothing would go wrong. Besides, she had just seen the message that Qiao Yiming had sent.
So she accepted Fu Siming's suggestion to rest without any qualms, then reached out to him, and as soon as Fu Siming got close, she pulled him onto the bed and rolled over to lie in his arms.
Fu Siming didn't expect her to do that. He reached out and grabbed her waist, afraid that she would slip to the ground. Then he felt her lying weakly in his arms, like a gentle and soft kitten.
She stroked the man's chin with one hand, feeling his crisp masculine scent in the morning air mingling with the soft fragrance of his clothes.
Even without looking, she could tell from the man's awkward expression. Her voice carried the languidness of early morning, yet also a deliberate hint of coquetry.
"Fu Siming..." she called his name softly, but when she didn't hear a response, she continued.
"Fu Siming, don't be angry anymore. I'm perfectly fine... In the future, if I encounter a situation like this, I'll definitely protect myself first, okay... You believe me..."
"I definitely won't do anything reckless. Besides, I'm pregnant!"
He said with a hint of displeasure, "So you do know you have a baby?"
Judging from his tone, I knew I was about to appease him.
She sat up, pressing her hand against his chest. "Of course I know! And look, the baby's still in my belly, and he saved a life with me, so he'll definitely be very happy. Don't be angry anymore..."
Fu Siming truly felt indebted to her. She had listened to her so easily again, even though she knew that if there were a next time, she would definitely rush forward without hesitation. But he still couldn't bear to blame her.
"Alright, hurry up and wash up and go downstairs, Mom and Dad are downstairs." He pulled Song Xingyao off him and prepared to leave.
But Song Xingyao clung to his back, clearly determined not to get off.
Helpless, Fu Siming could only carry her to the bathroom. The two dawdled for a while, and when they came downstairs again, Jiang Man and Fu Ting had already finished breakfast and were sitting on the sofa next to them.
Song Xingyao belatedly felt embarrassed, her face turning slightly red.
Jiang Man picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. Seeing the two of them so sweetly cuddled together, she felt very gratified.
However, considering that Fu Ting had to go back to the company, Jiang Man repeatedly instructed Fu Siming, and then pulled Fu Ting up from the sofa where he was reading the newspaper.
Fu Zhai.
"Dr. Lin, what were the test results?"
“Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu’s mental state is much better than before. At least she can notice other things around her now. You can take her out to meet people more often, especially people and things that can pique her interest. This can alleviate her previous negative suicidal thoughts and help her recovery. However…”
All the descriptions of improvement, with this added, sounded even heavier. Fu Quan looked at the doctor, waiting for him to finish speaking.
"However, based on your description yesterday, Mrs. Fu mistook someone else for her daughter? This is not a good sign. It is a manifestation of paranoia, and if left untreated, it can easily develop into schizophrenia if she is severely stimulated."
Every word Dr. Lin spoke in a businesslike manner struck his heart like a stone, causing a suffocating pain. Even with his powerful influence in the business world, he felt only a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.
Fu Quan couldn't even remember when Dr. Lin left. Looking at the frozen image of the woman laughing heartily on the table, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
