The email content: I've arrived in City A, come pick me up quickly. I'm a girl after all, you can't just leave me to find you on my own, right? Waiting for you.
Being able to ask Fu Jingshu to pick her up so casually clearly indicated they were old acquaintances, and she was a woman.
The pick-up time was set for 3 PM.
Shen Qingqing restored everything to its original state, even meticulously wiping away any potential traces on the mouse and keyboard, then tiptoed out of the office.
All of this happened without anyone seeing.
She returned to her own office and focused on her drawings. Fu Jingshu returned at 11 AM and asked her to lunch. Shen Qingqing calmly agreed.
They had lunch together and then returned to the company.
As Shen Qingqing stepped out of the elevator, she yawned, "I'm a bit sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."
She gave Fu Jingshu no chance to ask or object, turning and entering her office.
She stayed in the office until 2:30 PM. Noticing Fu Jingshu had left, and hadn't taken Lin Mo with him, she followed him out. When Lin Mo saw her, she made an excuse.
"I'm going downstairs to buy some hot and sour noodles, I'll be back soon."
"Just order takeout."
"Then it won't taste good by the time it arrives," Shen Qingqing glanced at him. "What, I can't even go eat hot and sour noodles?"
Lin Mo dared not say no, and said with a grin, "No, no, you go. You're Grandpa Fu's future wife, who would dare say no? If you want to go, go, no one will stop you."
Shen Qingqing snorted and turned away.
She went downstairs, got in her car, and followed Fu Jingshu's car to the airport. She watched him walk in and emerge about ten minutes later.
A woman was by his side.
The woman was wearing work attire, looking very capable. She was exquisitely beautiful, with dimples, and looked very cute when she smiled.
For the first time, Shen Qingqing realized her eyesight was so good. From such a distance, she could see everything clearly, including the woman not being tall, needing to tilt her head to speak to Fu Jingshu, which was quite strenuous.
He accommodated her height, bending slightly.
This kind of thoughtfulness was unprecedented.
Unsure what the woman said, Fu Jingshu's lips curved upwards, a clear sense of joy emanating from him. He lowered his head and said something to the woman.
The woman pouted, playfully hit him, as if in a charmingly coquettish manner.
Their interaction was natural and intimate, beyond Shen Qingqing's imagination. She thought that even if all the men in the world made such mistakes, Fu Jingshu wouldn't. But she never expected...
Indeed, all crows are black!
At that moment, the woman suddenly linked arms with Fu Jingshu. He tried to pull away, but the woman insisted, saying something, and he stopped resisting.
Shen Qingqing let out a cold laugh.
What a truly captivating drama!
They got into the car, and Shen Qingqing didn't follow any further; there was no point in it anyway. She floored the accelerator, and the car shot out.
The speed increased, and she merged from the traffic, slowly driving onto the wide highway.
The window was open, and the wind blew in, stinging her face, but she seemed not to feel it. She pressed harder on the accelerator, her mind filled with the intimate scene she had just witnessed.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was as if a pause button had been pressed on a machine, and she suddenly snapped back to reality. Only then did she realize her speed had reached 220 mph. She quickly slammed on the brakes!
The car screeched to a halt. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her heartbeat deafening.
Only then did she begin to feel scared. Fortunately, there were no cars on the road, otherwise, at such a speed, she wouldn't have been able to avoid a collision.
She turned on her phone. The ringing was an advertisement.
She usually hated these ads, but now she felt this one wasn't so bad. At least it had brought her back to her senses. She couldn't afford to have an accident, after all, she had two children.
Thinking of Xixi and Xingyao, she immediately felt how stupid she had been just now.
She restarted the car, but this time, she was completely calm, her speed normal. She drove leisurely to a kindergarten in the city center.
This was where Xixi attended school.
She found the principal. "I am Shen Jinxi's mother. I need to transfer him out of this kindergarten."
The principal was surprised. "Why? The child is doing very well here. If there's something we've done wrong, you can tell me, and I'll supervise them and make them change. The child is still so young and has already gotten used to this place. Changing environments abruptly will not be good for him."
He was genuinely considering the child's best interests, so Shen Qingqing said, "There are some family matters, unrelated to the kindergarten."
The principal had no choice but to process the paperwork, though he couldn't help but advise, "Do you really want to transfer him? The child is too young now, it's not suitable for this kind of constant moving around. It will affect the child."
"I do," Shen Qingqing stated concisely, her attitude resolute.
The principal knew there was no persuading her, so he ordered his staff to expedite the paperwork.
Shen Qingqing took Shen Jinxi away directly. Shen Jinxi was puzzled, but seeing his mother's stern expression, he dared not ask, only constantly speculating in his mind.
Who had made Mommy angry?
Could it be the cheap Daddy again?
After getting in the car, he cautiously observed his mother's expression. "Mommy, are you angry?"
Shen Qingqing rested one hand on the steering wheel. "No."
She was clearly angry!
Shen Jinxi felt that besides his cheap Daddy, no one else could make Mommy this angry. He pursed his small lips. "Mommy, did someone bully you? Tell Xixi, Xixi will get revenge for you!"
As they happened to reach a red light, Shen Qingqing stopped the car and glanced at Shen Jinxi in the rearview mirror.
"Mommy is really fine, don't worry."
Shen Jinxi crawled onto the back of the driver's seat and reached out his small hand to touch Mommy's cheek. His childish words, however, struck her heart more deeply. "Mommy, don't be unhappy. No matter what happens, I'm still here. I will always protect you, and I will always be good to you!"
He thought for a moment and added.
"When I grow up, I won't get married either. I'll just live with Mommy!"
Shen Qingqing was amused. "Silly child. Alright, go back to your seat. Mommy needs to drive."
Seeing Mommy smile, Shen Jinxi finally sat back down, satisfied.
In the restaurant.
Fu Jingshu was looking at the menu. After ordering a few simple dishes, he handed the menu to the woman opposite him. "You're the guest, you order."
Lin Minglan took the menu and said with a smile, "It seems Grandpa Fu is planning to bleed heavily."
Fu Jingshu remained noncommittal. "That thing, are you sure you can find it?"
"Of course!" Lin Minglan looked at him with displeasure, feeling he didn't trust her. "If you think I don't have the ability, then you shouldn't have asked me."
"As long as you can do it, that's all that matters."
It wouldn't be a waste of him canceling on Shen Qingqing. Thinking of this, he suddenly lost himself in thought, wondering what she was doing now.
