Chapter 11
Xu Xinghe steadied herself and reached out to pinch Fu Tingshen’s cheeks, pulling them apart. Only after seeing his distorted expression did she finally feel satisfied.
“Go wash up. I’m hungry~” she said, releasing her grip, then glanced guiltily at the red marks she had left on his face.
Hearing that she was hungry, Fu Tingshen quickly returned to the next room. It had already been tidied by the servants, leaving no trace of last night’s chaos.
After washing up, he immediately went back to Xu Xinghe’s room. She was sitting at the dressing table with her back to him, applying skincare.
Fu Tingshen slowly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her fully into his embrace. His chin lightly rested on the top of her head.
“Miss you, baby~” Fu Tingshen had never realized he could become so clingy toward someone. Even being apart for just ten minutes felt unbearable to him.
Xu Xinghe rubbed her head against the crook of his neck and slipped her small hand into his large one, where he held it tightly.
In the dining room, Butler Wang was preparing a wide variety of breakfast dishes—both Western and Chinese—filling the entire table.
When he saw the two of them walking down holding hands, he was secretly delighted. It looked like the Fu family would truly be getting a mistress soon.
“Madam… Miss Xu, Mr. Fu wasn’t sure what you liked, so he prepared a bit of everything,” Butler Wang almost let his true thoughts slip out, quickly correcting himself.
Xu Xinghe looked at the table full of diverse breakfast dishes and couldn’t help but feel impressed. After taking a seat, she instinctively tried to let go of his hand, but the large palm had no intention of releasing her.
In the next moment, Xu Xinghe only felt her body being gently pulled, and before she knew it, she was sitting on Fu Tingshen’s lap.
She glanced around at the servants, especially Butler Wang’s gaze, and her face immediately flushed red.
Butler Wang, meanwhile, was internally screaming in excitement—his favorite couple was really together now. Calmly, he signaled the servants to leave. What a bunch of clueless people; the CEO’s happiness clearly depended on him.
In the blink of an eye, the dining room, which had been filled with more than ten people, was now left with just the two of them.
Fu Tingshen clung to Xu Xinghe as though he suffered from skin hunger, never once loosening his hold.
Since no one was around anymore, Xu Xinghe also stopped feeling embarrassed. After all, being watched while being fed would have been mortifying.
Fu Tingshen rolled up his sleeves slightly and used his large hand to pick up food from the dishes she had been looking at. Watching her obediently open her mouth to accept his feeding, his eyes darkened slightly.

Meanwhile, He Baizhi returned home that same day for Lin Moli. As soon as she entered, she ordered Zhao Miao:
“Mom, give me 120,000.”
Zhao Miao’s eyelid twitched violently. She even suspected her daughter had been possessed.
“120,000? Do I look like I have 120,000?!” she snapped.
Zhao Miao, furious, erupted in a loud stream of curses. “I raised you all these years, and now you dare come asking me for money! If you want money, go sell yourself or something like that!”
All kinds of crude and harsh insults poured out of her mouth. In the end, He Baizhi not only failed to get the money, but even had her remaining 500 in cash taken away.
Now she was truly completely broke.
He Baizhi didn’t care at all. Instead, she thought her mother was making a fuss over nothing. It was just 120,000—she could earn that easily.
That night, He Baizhi took out an online loan and borrowed a total of 200,000.
When she transferred 120,000 to Lin Moli, she even received his promise.
“Baizhi, trust me. I will definitely take you to a better life.”
In his heart, Lin Moli cursed how easily fooled she was, but on the surface, he still wore a deeply affectionate expression.
He Baizhi smiled blissfully. She knew she hadn’t made the wrong choice—Lin Moli truly loved her the most.
