Chapter 300

After hearing "likewise," Qiao Muting lowered his head to look at his own chest.

The shocking marks all over it were from Shu Xia scratching him last night.

She didn't suffer a single loss.

In one night, both of them had been left with battle scars by the other.

After placing Shu Xia on the bed, Qiao Muting went to open the wardrobe; when he saw the few scattered, simple pieces of clothing inside, Qiao Muting frowned.

So few clothes?

"What do you want to wear?" He turned his head to look at Shu Xia, who was lying on the bed with weariness between her brows.

Having been thoroughly exhausted, Shu Xia yawned and pointed to one of the dresses, "Just wear that black long dress."

There was only one black dress inside, so there was no need to choose; he took it out directly.

Then, he conveniently grabbed her underwear and bra, placing them together on the bed.

"I'm going to change my clothes first."

The moment Qiao Muting left, Shu Xia looked at the underwear and bra placed before her eyes and raised her hand to cover her eyes in helplessness.

Her mind was filled with the image of Qiao Muting solemnly holding her underwear and bra.

She was completely unable to think normally.

——

Fu Chenyan stood in front of the Gu Corporation Building.

Looking at the high-rise building before him and the people coming and going, he could imagine what Shu Xia looked like working inside.

The more he discovered how unbearable Lin Miao was, the more he remembered Shu Xia's virtues.

His guts were now green with regret.

At this moment, his phone rang; he pulled it out of his pocket and answered, "Mom."

"Have you seen Shu Xia?"

"I haven't gone in to find her yet. Mom, I've been thinking just now, if Lin Miao hadn't kept seducing me, I wouldn't have betrayed Shu Xia. Perhaps Shu Xia and I would already be married by now. We had agreed back then to get married right after college graduation and work hard together for our little home." Whenever Fu Chenyan recalled the past now, it felt as if someone were using a knife to slice his heart layer by layer.

It was as if regret could drown him in an instant.

He was in immense pain.

Fu's mother listened with a pained heart, "Son, this isn't your fault. The one at fault is Lin Miao; she is a vixen, thinking every day about how to seduce you, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you. And then there's Shu Xia—she kept saying she liked you and wanted to marry you, but when you were led into making this one mistake, she wouldn't even forgive you, so she is at fault too."

She paused, took a sip of water, and continued, "The caregivers at the hospital are too inattentive in taking care of me, and they cost money too. It was better when Shu Xia took care of me. You should coax her, say some soft words to her. Anyway, she's already been played with by someone else and isn't clean anymore; it's already generous of you to still want her. Just have her come back to the hospital to take care of me."

In her view, her son was excellent.

Her son was still willing to have Shu Xia now; if Shu Xia didn't return to take care of her with gratitude, she would absolutely not agree to them being together!

Fu Chenyan frowned; his mother was truly too optimistic. If Shu Xia could easily forgive him, she would have forgiven him before.

Furthermore, Shu Xia was now working at the Gu Corporation; the people she met and the things she encountered were not things the old Shu Xia could have encountered.

"Mom, if I win her back, you must treat her better in the future. She has a job now and probably won't be able to go to the hospital to take care of you. If the caregivers aren't attentive, we'll just change to a different one," Fu Chenyan said in a deep voice.

He currently had the one million he had gotten from Lin Miao, but after paying off debts over the past two days, only a little over four hundred thousand remained.

This wasn't even enough to pay off the debts.

"Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you say goes, I'll listen to you. It's a good thing to know how to cherish your wife."
