e opportunity was right there in front of him, with everything aligning perfectly, like it was personally delivered by fate. Of course, there was no reason for him to consider a slow and steady approa...Chapter 990: Fu Yan still hasn't completely gotten rid of Qiao Xihe.

"Fu"

Xu Qinghuan accurately caught the key point from this sentence, even though her words abruptly stopped. Xu Qinghuan had already grasped that word.

She saw a clear trace of awkwardness on Josie's face.

"It's nothing! Are you busy with work Then go ahead, I'll leave first."

After finishing his words, Qiao Xihe turned to leave.

It was only at this moment that Xu Qinghuan suddenly realized where the feeling of jealousy that had been churning in her heart all this time came from.

It seemed that before, Qiao Xi always wouldn't contact Fu Yan directly, and every time she mentioned Fu Yan, she acted like a bystander, without any intimate tone.

But now—

Things can be different.

From the moment she called and asked for Fu Yan to return her call alone, to today when she "accidentally" mentioned the word "Fu," it seems like she's been hinting at me, suggesting that she and Fu Yan have a private connection that has never been broken!

Even though Xu Qinghuan had clearly told Fu Yan that she would be jealous of his interactions with Qiao Xihe and wouldn't be happy about it, Fu Yan still hadn't completely cut ties with Qiao Xihe.

"Wait!"

Xu Qinghuan didn't continue to think deeply, and she had already opened her mouth to call out to her.

Qiao Xi's back stiffened, she tilted her head slightly, "Is there anything else, Ms. Xu"

"Doctor Qiao, I think you just mentioned Fu Yanshi's last name, so you must be referring to him Then you stopped halfway through your sentence, which could easily lead to misunderstandings! I think it's best if you just say everything clearly, that way I won't have an argument with Fu Yanshi about this later on. I believe you wouldn't want to see that either."

Xu Qinghuan is someone who doesn't like to argue sometimes, but that doesn't mean she gets taken advantage of with her words.

Since they've decided to be honest with Fu Yan Shi and spend their lives together, it's best to avoid any misunderstandings! She didn't want to misunderstand Fu Yan Shi, but she also didn't want to remain in the dark.

"Miss Xu, you're overthinking it. Mr. Fu and I are just friends." Qiao Xihe paused for a moment, then curved her lips into a smile. "What I wanted to say just now was that Mr. Fu recommended me a bodyguard, and then I suddenly stopped because I was afraid you would misunderstand, feeling like I was intentionally mentioning Mr. Fu in front of you!"

"Dr. Qiao needs a bodyguard in Beizhen City"

"Hmm," Josie He nodded. "There are some things happening within our Joe family, and I'm a bit worried about safety, so I asked someone to come with me! North City is Mr. Fu's territory, so I just asked him for a recommendation. Mr. Fu was kind enough to introduce this bodyguard to me."

Mr. Fu is kind.

Well.

To be honest, Xu Qinghuan was almost convinced by what she had just heard. After all, it made logical sense!

But to say Fu Yan was kind to Qiao Xihe and enthusiastically recommended a bodyguard to her, she wouldn't believe it at all.

"It seems that recently, Fu Yan Shi and Dr. Qiao have been in frequent contact." Xu Qinghuan pretended to make her tone sound very natural, just like she was casually asking.

Josie Ho isn't stupid, she's actually very clever. She just doesn't like to play politics on a daily basis.

"There wasn't much contact. Mr. Fu usually finds me and asks me to find a way to cure your illness."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Qiao."

"It's alright, it's my job! I didn't expect to cause Miss Xu any misunderstanding, I apologize!" Qiao Xi said, in fact, this was the time she should leave, but her toes paused for a moment, she couldn't help but add, "I understand Miss Xu's sensitivity, after all, Mr. Fu is so excellent, you should have a sense of crisis."ook at her, only asking himself in a low voice."Not much......just, afraid I can't save him..."He paused for a moment, then took out a card and handed it over. “There should be over five million here....
