The old woman's words surprised everyone present.
How could a child's own father do such a thing?
Yet, as it turned out, her words proved prophetic.
"Listen to me, you must keep a close eye on the child, be with them every step of the way!"
Despite her frail health, the old woman urged Li Feilin to pay attention.
"Alright, alright, don't worry, I will. You focus on recovering, and once you're better, we'll watch the child together!"
Li Feilin tried to comfort her.
She didn't think of Fu Dehan as being that bad, after all, they were his own flesh and blood!
Li Feilin was an only child. Juggling childcare and caring for her sick mother, she was simply overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Bai Suxiang had been a great help these past few days, and Liu Sandao also commuted between the hospital and the hotel.
They moved to another hotel, staying just outside Li Feilin's parents' neighborhood.
Li Feilin was divorced. Her parents, seeing how difficult it was for her to raise two children alone, had forgiven her.
Therefore, she was able to continue living with them.
To be closer to Fu Qing, Li Feilin convinced Bai Suxiang to move to their neighborhood. Since they were staying in a hotel, it didn't matter where.
Bai Suxiang didn't refuse and took the opportunity to move in.
In the afternoon, Fu Dehan arrived to pick up the children as arranged.
When Liu Sandao saw him, he noticed Fu Dehan seemed flustered, his eyes betraying a sense of unease.
In layman's terms, it was a guilty conscience showing.
Liu Sandao couldn't help but remind Bai Suxiang to keep a close watch on the two children.
At that moment, the old woman's words echoed in his mind: "What if he plans to sell the child!"
Perhaps, the elder saw things more clearly than they did.
Fu Dehan had intended to take the children away alone, but at Bai Suxiang's prompting, Li Feilin did not let him.
To conceal his plan, Fu Dehan proposed taking the children to the park across the street for a while, to foster their bond.
Li Feilin didn't object and suggested that Bai Suxiang accompany Fu Qing.
Thus, Bai Suxiang took on the role of Fu Qing's guardian.
Liu Sandao did not go with them. In a way, his absence was to better protect Fu Qing.
That day, there were no opportunities for Fu Dehan, and Fu Qing had a very enjoyable time.
As for his son, he was still very young and was being looked after by his maternal grandfather at home.
Fu Dehan returned to Feitian Huafu and reported his plans and his actions over the past few days to Zhang Fuchun.
Zhang Fuchun was pleased and even discussed with him on the sofa: how they could make the child leave without suffering.
Their ideas were limited, and their experience was scarce, so they resorted to internet searches.
After all, in this vast world, there were many extraordinary people.
Whether they were extraordinary was uncertain, but they were certainly the most bizarre and cold-blooded. Watching their target move steadily towards their destination, Soul Spirit Number Eleven smiled in satisfaction.
Liu Sandao never entered the rooms in Feitian Huafu because there were Soul Spirits there. This particular Soul Spirit was different; it seemed to sense something unusual.
He tried to sneak in to investigate while Fu Dehan and Zhang Fuchun were asleep, but the Soul Spirit reacted, forcing him to give up.
Fu Dehan's efforts were not in vain.
After many days of familiarity, everyone's guard gradually lowered.
He was the children's father, and he took them out to play every time. He had never spent so much time with the children before, even taking his one-year-old son out to play.
Li Feilin secretly rejoiced, thinking that as the children's biological father, he was truly good to them.
Even though her mother still didn't believe it, muttering constantly, "A wolf's ambition, one must guard against it!"
But the string in Li Feilin's heart had long since loosened.
It wasn't just Li Feilin whose heartstrings loosened; Zhang Fuchun's did too.
What Fu Dehan was doing was all for the sake of their marriage, which made her feel that Fu Dehan truly loved her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned his children and walked towards what she desired.
Fu Dehan worked hard to cultivate a good image, acting kindly towards the children.
However, Li Feilin was informed by the hospital that the elder needed surgery as soon as possible, otherwise, the optimal time would be missed, and the chance of recovery would be lost.
She had no choice but to ask Fu Dehan for money.
Fu Dehan did not agree immediately, only saying he would try to find a way to gather it.
As soon as he returned to Feitian Huafu, he clung to Zhang Fuchun, acting intimately. Though he said nothing, he was calculating how to get the 800,000 yuan.
"Darling, I really wish I could hold you like this forever!"
"Then keep holding me!" Zhang Fuchun said casually.
"Hmm, I'm afraid that won't be possible," Fu Dehan said, taking a deep breath.
"Why? Don't tell me you..." Zhang Fuchun sat up abruptly, staring at Fu Dehan.
"Someone introduced a project, and I'll probably be very busy for a while!"
"Oh, is that all? Then you go ahead and be busy!" Zhang Fuchun said, then nestled back into Fu Dehan's arms.
"Hmph! You look down on me like that? I'll bring the project proposal tomorrow for you to see! Liu Xiaojun, you know him, he introduced it. If you don't believe me, ask him!"
Fu Dehan said, his eyes never leaving Zhang Fuchun's face.
"Hmph! Can what he says be trusted? He boasts without thinking!" Zhang Fuchun didn't believe him when she heard the name.
She knew perfectly well what kind of person Liu Xiaojun was.
He was just a playboy who bragged all day long and never spoke a word of truth.
"No matter what that person is like, he's found a good project this time. I had someone look into it, and the investment is foolproof! If you don't believe me, I'll show you the plan tomorrow!"
Fu Dehan said, stroking Zhang Fuchun's head.
Zhang Fuchun didn't take his words to heart, but unexpectedly, Fu Dehan returned with a project proposal the next afternoon.
"Look! This is our new project!"
Fu Dehan said excitedly, tossing the documents onto the table in front of Zhang Fuchun.
Zhang Fuchun looked down, and a project name caught her eye: Jike Drones, Drones in People's Hearts!
Then came a project investment proposal.
"This? Will it work? Isn't it some kind of investment scam?"
Zhang Fuchun asked doubtfully.
How could she understand drones? Her family manufactured plastic products; apart from the materials, there was no connection whatsoever.
"You wouldn't understand this. This is a hot industry right now, and the technical requirements are very high, with high barriers to entry! Others can't even get in. I'm not sure myself, that's why I'm asking for your advice!"
Fu Dehan's intentions were clear; if he wanted Zhang Fuchun to spend money, he had to make her the decision-maker.
"But I don't understand either! What advice can I give?"
Zhang Fuchun said seriously.
She was completely clueless about business and investment. She held a leisurely position in the company and had never been responsible for specific operations.
"You don't understand, but your woman's intuition is strong! You've been looking radiant lately, your luck must be through the roof! Give us some advice, and let it make us a fortune!"
