"Threatening me?" Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow.
"No," the attendant quickly explained, "Mr. Fu Jing Shu said he came with sincerity today, not with threats. Please don't misunderstand. If you want to go down, you can go down anytime. If you don't want to, he will continue to admit his mistakes."
"Did he teach you all these words?"
"Yes."
Mr. Fu truly understood Miss Shen, even knowing that after the first sentence, Miss Shen would definitely think it was a threat.
She couldn't help but add, "Miss Shen, I see Mr. Fu is sincerely apologizing to you. I don't know what he did wrong, but I still hope you can give him a chance."
"I understand."
Shen Qingqing gently closed the door.
When she returned to the window and looked downstairs, her gaze slightly froze.
Downstairs.
Everything had been going smoothly, but for some reason, a security guard suddenly rushed out, holding a fire extinguisher and shouting loudly.
"Flammable items are prohibited here!"
With that, he opened the fire extinguisher, spraying white mist towards Fu Jing Shu. He reacted quickly, put down the flowers in his arms, and turned to embrace Chen Chen.
The onlookers, seeing this highly destructive "weapon," retreated in a hurry.
After a sweep of white mist, some people coughed uncontrollably, while more craned their necks to look into the smoke. If those around them were choking, the father and son in the center were likely in an even worse state.
When the smoke cleared, the crowd finally saw the scene clearly.
Someone couldn't help but chuckle.
The fire extinguisher was not only effective against fires but also a great weapon against handsome men. Even the most handsome man, covered head to toe in white, couldn't maintain his extraordinary handsomeness.
But soon, people noticed something was wrong. Had this handsome man been sprayed silly?
His gaze was fixed.
Following his gaze, they saw the hotel door open, and a woman as radiant as a fiery flower slowly walked out. Looking at the man's scorching gaze, everyone seemed to understand. This must be the heroine of this courtship.
Shen Qingqing walked up to him. "Aren't you embarrassed?"
Fu Jing Shu nodded. "Yes, I am."
Chen Chen, in his arms, was fine, except for being sprayed quite a bit on his back. His face was protected in his father's embrace, so it remained quite clean.
"Mommy..." he looked at her timidly, filled with anxiety and fear. He had chosen Daddy between Mommy and Daddy.
Mommy must be very angry now.
She glanced at Chen Chen, then calmly moved her gaze away. "Let's go upstairs first and change your clothes. Being watched by a crowd like this is too embarrassing."
Saying that, she turned and left. Father and son exchanged a look, both with a hint of sadness in their eyes, but they said nothing, simply following her footsteps.
Back in the room, Shen Qingqing called room service for clean clothes and then sat on the sofa with her phone, ignoring them.
Fu Jing Shu and Chen Chen exchanged a glance. The large and small figures stood before her as if they had done something wrong. Chen Chen nudged Fu Jing Shu.
—You go first!
Fu Jing Shu: "..."
He cleared his throat and coughed softly. "I came today to apologize to you. Everything before was a misunderstanding. Of course, I also did some things wrong."
"What misunderstanding?" Shen Qingqing stared at her phone.
Fu Jing Shu said softly, "It was all a misunderstanding. If you must find a fault, it's that I was wrong."
This attitude seemed acceptable. Shen Qingqing finally deigned to look up from her phone. "I don't think being with another woman is a misunderstanding."
"I wasn't with her."
Fu Jing Shu couldn't help but take a step forward, but those clear eyes looked at him, the warning obvious. He had to stop, but his gaze remained fixed on her.
"I really wasn't. Before, at the hospital, Lin Minglan saved Chen Chen, and I couldn't just abandon her. However, I've already made things clear."
Chen Chen nodded silently beside him.
Shen Qingqing glanced at him. "What does nodding mean?"
Chen Chen whispered, "I'm a witness."
"You are his child now, of course, you'll speak for him. Your testimony doesn't count."
Chen Chen immediately became anxious upon hearing this. "No. I'm Mommy's child too."
Shen Qingqing pursed her lips, neither believing nor disbelieving.
Mom doesn't believe me! Chen Chen was so anxious he was about to cry. He instinctively looked at his father for help, but he forgot that his father was also in a precarious situation.
He couldn't help him at all.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Shen Qingqing was about to open it, but Chen Chen beat her to it. The child, who was usually shy, smiled charmingly at her and ran to the door to open it.
Shen Qingqing didn't move either. Seeing the little one carrying two sets of clothes, she then stood up with her phone. "It's getting late. You two should rest early."
"Can I sleep with Mommy?"
He looked at Shen Qingqing with hopeful eyes.
"No," she refused ruthlessly. "You two will sleep on the sofa tonight."
With a bang, the bedroom door was closed.
Fu Jing Shu and Chen Chen exchanged a look. Father and son saw the same helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Daddy, Mommy is angry," Chen Chen said glumly.
"Yes."
Fu Jing Shu patted his head gently, his voice filled with warmth. "Don't worry, your Mommy won't really be angry with you."
Chen Chen pouted, feeling a bit disappointed.
This disappointment lingered until the next morning. When Shen Qingqing woke up, Shen Jinxi was still sound asleep in the room.
And she was preparing to leave.
Chen Chen watched her longingly. In the past, Mommy would give him a hug and a good morning kiss every morning, but today, that treatment was missing.
"Are you leaving?" Fu Jing Shu glanced at the coat hanging on her arm.
"I'm going to Mu Guang Company to deliver the design drafts."
Shen Qingqing put on her coat, picked up her phone, and walked towards the door. As she opened the door, the room service staff arrived with breakfast.
"Chen Chen, remember to eat breakfast."
Shen Qingqing reminded him and left. Fu Jing Shu looked back at Chen Chen, who was already walking towards the dining table very sensibly.
Fu Jing Shu then followed her out. "I'll accompany you."
Shen Qingqing walked straight ahead. "As you wish."
She still hadn't cooled down.
Fu Jing Shu touched his nose, said nothing, and even willingly took the bag and folder from her hands. Shen Qingqing didn't refuse.
The corners of his lips curved upward.
The two arrived at Mu Guang Company. This company was well-established and ranked among the top ten enterprises in Country M. Shen Qingqing was here to deliver design drafts and conduct business.
However, no one expected to run into someone they didn't want to see the moment they entered the company.
Lin Minglan smiled slightly. "What a coincidence."
