Xu Yi had most likely understood Lin Xiang’s purpose for coming here this time.

But he pretended to be stupid.

“Okay, I got it.”

But Lin Xiang was not the kind of person who would let him go. She sat down opposite Xu Yi.

“You’re in a relationship with Lu Si? When did this happen? I think that kid is pretty good.”

Xu Yi glanced at Fang Qing.

He explained without batting an eyelid, “No, it’s all groundless stuff. It’s fake.”

“If it’s fake, then why are you guys kissing? One look and I can tell that it’s you!”

Xu Yi chuckled and sighed from the bottom of his heart. “So, it makes sense for a boy to take good care of himself when he’s out there.”

Xu Yi put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin that he had prepared, and wiped the corner of his mouth. He looked at Fang Qing.

“Have you eaten?”

Fang Qing finished the last mouthful of porridge and nodded.

“Let’s go to the hospital.”

Lin Xiang did not want to miss this opportunity, but she did not dare to say it out loud. She could only continue to beat around the bush. “So you’re saying that Lu Si is courting you?”

“I don’t know, mom. Please don’t get involved in my affairs.”

Lin Xiang became unhappy when she heard this.

She looked at Fang Qing, who had been silent the whole time, and said righteously, “If it were another woman, I wouldn’t care. But it’s Lu Si. Haven’t you always liked her?”

“And if you think that Miss Fang is unfair, we can give Miss Fang a generous compensation. I believe that Miss Fang will understand and accept it.”

“Last time, Miss Fang was tempted to accept, wasn’t she?”

Lin Xiang smiled at Fang Qing.

She looked harmless, but in fact, her smile was a warning to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing did not retort. She remained silent.

There was no use in retorting. To Xu Yi, Lu Si indeed had a different status.

But she was still very touched just now. Xu Yi did not embarrass her in front of her.

After all, to others, they were the fiancé and fiancée.

“Mom, I’ve already decided to marry Fang Qing. Naturally, I won’t change my mind.”

Xu Yi’s determination made Lin Xiang’s expression change immediately.

She was also tired of Xu Yi’s straightforwardness. “Little Yi, marriage is a matter of life and death. How can you act on impulse?!”

Xu Yi rubbed his temples and sighed. He took Fang Qing’s hand and walked out.

“Grandpa is still waiting. The doctor told us to arrive within an hour. We can’t delay any longer. We’ll leave first.”

“Xu Yi!”

Lin Xiang was really weak. She felt like she was punching cotton.

No matter what, Lu Si was a decent person. Although she was not good enough for Xu Yi in all aspects, she was much better than Fang Qing!

“Even if you don’t like her, you still want to kiss her! I really don’t understand young people like you!”

Lin Xiang came to the sofa and threw her bag on it. Then, she sat down with a sad face.

When she sat in the car, Fang Qing pursed her lips. She had just read it online.

Xu Yi and Lu Si had become the top searches.

The spread of the headlines was quite astonishing.

They were also people with extremely high influence. There were even people who directly dug out Xu Yi’s admiration for Lu Si’s paintings from a few years ago.

In an instant, all sorts of love stories started to unfold.

Fang Qing was amused and helpless at the same time.

“What are you so engrossed in?”

Fang Qing came back to her senses and looked over. Their eyes happened to meet. She abruptly averted her gaze and smiled sheepishly. “No, I’m just quite touched. Thank you for your consideration, but if the two of you happen to have feelings for each other, it won’t affect anything if I withdraw in time.”

It was a good thing that they didn’t make their ‘relationship’ public.

Otherwise, Fang Qing really didn’t know how to end things.

“Grandpa already knows about you. You can’t withdraw anymore.”

Xu Yi dismissed these words lightly, but he didn’t mention Lu Si.

Fang Qing was too embarrassed to ask further.

“Then you just have to explain clearly to her about our relationship. Otherwise, there will be a misunderstanding.”

“If one more person knows, there will be an additional risk involved. Don’t tell me you don’t know this?”

Xu Yi felt that Fang Qing was being a little abnormal. It could be seen that she was very concerned about Lu Si’s matter.

“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t embarrass you, even in front of Lu Si. You’re not the only one who is holding up their end of the contract.”

It was like a promise.

After Xu Yi finished speaking, Fang Qing was really comforted by these words and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

As for how he had brought it up, she didn’t know.

But the fact is that the matter had already been exposed. Was he really willing to distance himself from Lu Si for her sake?
