Fu Nancheng frowned, 'Did Wen Shaoqian tell you?' He guessed it right away. 'Who told me isn't important, just tell me if it's true.' 'Yes.' He answered very straightforwardly. So, that was really his first date, no wonder he was so angry. Then he said, 'I've answered yes, will you nod in agreement, be my stand-in for another half year, with me for half a year?' Su Ci trembled slightly, then asked him, 'Why me?' Fu Nancheng looked down at her from above, reached out and pinched her small face, which was just freed from scars, exuding a delicate and refined beauty. He kept pinching her face while looking at her, his gaze dark and burning, 'I've taken a fancy to you, is that okay?' He said he had taken a fancy to her. Su Ci's little face turned hot, unable to withstand his mature gaze, 'You must have taken a fancy to my face!' She struggled to break free from his palm, turned her face away, and buried her little face in the snow-white pillow. Looking at her pure appearance with black hair and red lips, Fu Nancheng rolled his throat, then used his big hand to pinch her little face back again. He never denied that he liked her face; he had been looking at it for some time, but it seemed he could never get tired of it, his heart would flutter every time he saw it. He didn't know about other men, but he adored her beauty. 'So what do you want me to say, doesn't all liking start with looks? You fit perfectly into my aesthetic, I liked you from the first glance, where did I go wrong?' 'Do you prefer to like someone over time? Literally speaking, liking someone over time is just making do. If it weren't for Fu Nancheng's first glance, there wouldn't be any liking someone over time.'

He was very selective, especially when it came to choosing women. He wouldn't bother with someone he didn't take a fancy to at first sight, let alone develop feelings over time. Su Ci felt weak all over; she thought that Fu Nancheng's heart was incredibly passionate. 'Su Ci, I'll ask you again, do you want to be with me or not?' Su Ci closed her eyes. Yes, yes, she should go with him. She still didn't know where he had put the jade pendant, and only by following him would she have the chance to find it bit by bit. She was with him for the jade pendant. Su Ci, 'Yes!' She nodded. Fu Nancheng curled his lips and let out a low laugh. After kissing her red lips, he changed the subject, 'If my mother has another episode in the future, just call me. She has a mental illness, and I'm afraid she might hurt you.' 'What happened to your mother? Of course, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.' Su Ci didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, so she quickly added. 'My mother was raped by her own brother-in-law when she was young, and that night I was conceived... They were very close sisters, and since our grandmother passed away early, my sister was like a mother to me. She never allowed anyone to bully her little sister, so after that incident, the sisters fell out.' 'My mother always felt like a sinner, attempted suicide several times, and when she got pregnant with me, she tried every means to abort me, but she was locked up by the old lady and forced to give birth to the child.' 'My mother's mental state got worse and worse, more and more insane. Later, when I was a bit older, I took her away from the Fu family, went abroad, and her condition began to stabilize. However, she can't be stimulated, or she will still have episodes.'

"My mother can become self-destructive when she has an episode. I'm telling you this now so you're mentally prepared. If my mother has an episode, just stay far away from her, don't get close, and then call me. That way, my mother won't be able to hurt you." He spoke these words in a very calm voice, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he were telling someone else's story. Su Ci looked at him, and he was looking back at her with his arms folded. Soon, he curled his thin lips, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared?"
