Chapter 222: Twin Births
After that, Qiao Jiusheng could no longer look at the sunset.
***
The sky was dark, and the four of them ate at the same table. When they were about to finish their meals, Fang Yusheng suddenly said to Qi Bufan, “Pay more attention to Fang Mu’s movements recently.”
Qi Bufan looked at him and nodded.
***
The day Fang Shan was discharged from intensive care in the pediatric hospital, Fang Mu personally went to pick him up.
The child weighed less than six kilograms. However, compared to when he was born, he still had some flesh. His skin was no longer wrinkled, but his facial features had not fully opened yet. It was impossible to tell who he looked like. Xu Pingfei had come to the hospital with Fang Mu. When she saw the child, she took a few serious looks at him and said, “This child’s eyes look like yours.”
Fang Mu looked at Fang Shan’s eyes. Perhaps!
He could not help but think of that child. That child should’ve looked like Fang Shan.
Fang Mu felt upset. A stuffy and painful feeling plagued his heart.
“Aunt Xu, bring the child home first. I’ll come over tonight.”
Xu Pingfei beamed. “Alright.”
The Fang family had long hired a professional nanny who was very good at serving children. Xu Pingfei bought milk powder, then happily took the child back to the Fang family home. Fang Mu went to the hospital to check the surveillance cameras. The hospital was filled with people, but he did not find anyone suspicious.
He went to the traffic office again and requested to check the surveillance cameras around City One Hospital, wanting to find his child’s whereabouts.
Inside the traffic office, Fang Mu looked at the surveillance records but still could not find the child’s whereabouts.
However, he did not know that the surveillance records he was looking at were incomplete surveillance videos that had been edited by Qi Bufan. It would be strange if he could find any clues.
At the same time, Fang Yusheng brought Qiao Jiusheng to the district where the witch lived.
He sat in the car, pointed at a building in the district, then said to Qiao Jiusheng, “That child is still alive and is being raised by Old Madam Liu. Old Madam Liu is involved in witchcraft and has never gotten married in her life. She also doesn’t have a child. She’s raising this child probably because she wants the child to send her off in the future.”
Qiao Jiusheng looked at the floor and did not say anything.
Fang Yusheng added, “This child’s surname is no longer Fang, and he has nothing to do with the Fang family. He’s already dead. He died the day his mother abandoned him.” Fang Yusheng’s words were a little heartless, but Qiao Jiusheng did not refute him.
It was fortunate enough that the child was still alive.
Witch Liu had given him life.
“Do you want to go up and take a look?”
Qiao Jiusheng shook her head. “I’m not.” Knowing that the child was still alive, Qiao Jiusheng felt relieved.
She hated Qiao Jiuyin, but Qiao Jiuyin’s child was innocent.
Hu Yao was sent by Wei Xin; Wei Xin had done all this for her. Although Qiao Jiuyin was the one who had stirred up trouble with the children, Qiao Jiusheng and the rest were also responsible for it. When Qiao Jiusheng had heard that one of Qiao Jiuyin’s children was stillborn, she had felt very guilty.
Now that she knew the child was still alive, she could clear her conscience.
“Let’s go.”
Fang Yusheng motioned for Qi Bufan to drive off. When the car drove out of the district, Fang Yusheng looked at the scenery that flashed past by the roadside and suddenly said, “I thought you would interfere in this.”
Qiao Jiusheng shook her head.
“You don’t understand.” She had once really loved Fang Mu. Qiao Jiuyin had caused her to suffer in her previous life and almost in this one too. Even though Qiao Jiusheng knew that the two children were innocent, she still could not like them. After all, they were proof that Qiao Jiuyin and her former lover had betrayed her.
Qiao Jiusheng was not a bad person, but she wasn’t a good person either.
Fang Yusheng looked at Qiao Jiusheng and felt a sadness coming from her.
“Ah Sheng.” Fang Yusheng held her hand, and Qiao Jiusheng turned to look at him. Fang Yusheng blinked at her and teased her. “Smile.”
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.
He’s meticulous and can easily sense that I was feeling terrible.
Qiao Jiusheng had pulled Fang Mu out of the dark world into the light, but Qiao Jiuyin had dragged Qiao Jiusheng into a mountain of knives and a sea of flames. Later on, Fang Mu had tempted Qiao Jiuyin to fall into eternal damnation. Now, Qiao Jiusheng had finally waited for the person who had saved her from the sea of flames.
This person was Fang Yusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng instantly walked out of the darkness of her previous life and bathed in the sunlight.
To her, living was no longer torture and pain. It was warmth, enjoyment, and love.
Qiao Jiusheng suddenly curled her lips and gave Fang Yusheng a bright and charming smile.
Fang Yusheng looked at her in a daze. He imagined how beautiful and eye-catching she would be when she tore off her mask and smiled at him with her real face.
Qiao Jiusheng thought that her rebirth was not only for revenge, but also for another goal!
She had met Fang Yusheng, and they became a couple.
“Fang Yusheng, let’s do it.”
Fang Yusheng did not have time to set his expression when he heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “Right here.” She could not wait.
Qi Bufan’s eyelids twitched when he heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “Bufan, stop by the side. You can go ahead.”
Qi Bufan parked the car by the roadside.
He got out of the car and looked up. Endless weeds and an endless road lay ahead of him.
I can go ahead?
What’s there to do in here?
Digging for rats in the weeds?
From the moment Qiao Jiusheng said “right here” to when Qi Bufan was chased out of the car, Fang Yusheng was in shock. The delicate wife he had married seemed to have become a little chili.
Qiao Jiusheng rolled over and sat on Fang Yusheng’s legs. She wrapped her long legs around his waist and leaned over to kiss him.
Eyes, nose, lips, neck, chest, she did not miss a single inch.
It looked like she was going to eat Fang Yusheng up.
The moment Fang Yusheng had Qiao Jiusheng, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
A red rose that was as bright as blood charmingly bloomed as the young monk looked up at the red rose.
He was the little monk whose Buddhist heart had been seduced by the rose, and he was finally going to leave Buddhism and convert to the mortal world.
Fallen!
***
After being presumptuous, Qiao Jiusheng cowered again.
She adjusted her clothes, her face flushed red. Sitting beside Fang Yusheng, she looked out of the window, too embarrassed to face anyone.
Qi Bufan wandered around the field for a long time before returning. The car window was open, and there was no smell in the car. He looked straight ahead, got into the driver’s seat, and drove away.
Fang Yusheng was like a Taotie Beast that had eaten its fill. He looked at Qiao Jiusheng, who was pretending to be asleep, in amusement.
By the time Qiao Jiusheng got home, her face was finally not red.
When the car returned to the Fang family home, it stopped at the entrance of the main building. Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng entered the house together and looked at Fang Mu’s son. The babies in their confinement were sleeping most of the time. Fang Shan was wearing a blue cotton shirt and sleeping in a specially customized baby bed.
Qiao Jiusheng stared at the child with a faint gaze. She did not like him.
Xu Pingfei looked at the baby’s sleeping face and turned back to say to Qiao Jiusheng, “Yunsheng, when are you and Yusheng planning to have a child?”
Fang Yusheng moved his ears.
Qiao Jiusheng faintly smiled and said, “It’s up to fate.”
They had not taken any contraceptive measures. They would take it when they had it.
Xu Pingfei pointed at Fang Shan and said, “Look, the child is so obedient. He never makes a fuss while sleeping.” When she said something happy, she revealed a look of pity. “It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a mother by his side at such a young age.”
Qiao Jiusheng frowned and did not speak.
She felt that it might be a good thing for this child to not have his mother by his side.
“Let’s eat here tonight.”
It was inappropriate for Qiao Jiusheng to reject Fang Shan’s first meal at home, so she agreed. “Okay.”
Fang Mu returned only when it was almost time for dinner. When he returned, Fang Shan had just woken up. He was lying in the infant bed and staring at the light with his eyes wide open. Fang Mu turned off the light and carried the child. He took the milk the nanny had mixed and fed it to Fang Shan.
The infant was especially serious when drinking milk. His small eyes were wide open as he tried to see the world clearly.
Fang Mu looked at him and thought of his lost son.
His heart ached.
Fang Yusheng had not worn sunglasses today. He sat beside Qiao Jiusheng with his eyes closed. When he heard Fang Mu patting the child’s back and coaxing him, he became a little envious. He secretly held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand.
Qiao Jiusheng looked down at her hand and narrowed her eyes.
Fang Yusheng loved children.
She remembered what had happened a few months ago. After she had made love with Fang Yusheng for the first time, she had gone to the pharmacy to buy painkillers. However, Fang Yusheng had mistaken them for contraceptive pills. That time, he had been furious. It could be assumed that he liked children very much.
Qiao Jiusheng could not help but touch her lower abdomen.
Who knows when I would get pregnant.
Both of them thought about this. Hence, when they heard Fang Mu coaxing the child, they felt especially vexed.
They would not admit that they were jealous.
When they were about to finish dinner, Xu Pingfei thought of something and asked Fang Mu, “Fang Mu, have you guys completed the project at the Happy Valley at East Lake Mountain?” The Happy Valley at East Lake Mountain was a project initiated by the Fang Corporation six years ago. At that time, the Fang Corporation had bought the right to use the East Lake Mountain for fifty years at a high price and worked hard to create a Happy Valley.
Fang Mu nodded and said, “It’s officially open on the 28th of this month.”
Xu Pingfei looked at Qiao Jiusheng. “Yunsheng, Aunt Xu has not been to such a lively place for many years. Are you free on the 28th? Can you come with me?” Fang Yuqing had to attend tuition on Saturdays and did not have time to accompany Xu Pingfei.
The moment Qiao Jiusheng heard that she was going to Lake East Mountain’s Joy Valley, she felt tempted.
She loved to play to begin with, and Lake East Mountain and Happy Valley had many games. There was even a lakebed world under the lake on the mountain. It was even more charming and gentle. She hurriedly nodded. “Alright, I’ll accompany you.” She held Fang Yusheng’s hand again. “Yusheng, you can come too.”
Fang Yusheng looked troubled. “If I go, it won’t be fun.”
He was still blind.
Qiao Jiusheng smiled and indifferently shook her head. “Come with me. Let’s go and play. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see. I’ll tell you what I see.”
Fang Yusheng’s heart warmed.
Even though he could see now, his heart warmed when he heard this.
“Okay.”
When Fang Mu heard Qiao Jiusheng’s words, his heart felt inexplicably stuffy.
He stared at Qiao Jiusheng and saw her and Fang Yusheng’s tightly held hands. A hint of darkness flashed past his eyes.
He didn’t understand why he couldn’t stand seeing Qi Yunsheng and Fang Yusheng happy.
He believed that this was because Qi Yunsheng sometimes gave him the feeling that she resembled Xiao Sheng.
When Fang Pingjue heard Xu Pingfei’s words, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “I’ll go too.”
Xu Pingfei was stunned. Even Fang Mu, Fang Yusheng, and Fang Yuqing felt that Fang Pingjue had been possessed by a ghost.
This was a little unusual.
Fang Pingjue saw that his sons and his wife had such big reactions and immediately raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong? You don’t welcome me?”
“How could that be? It’s just that you’re usually busy with work. It’s a little surprising that you suddenly decided to go out with me.” In these years, Fang Pingjue rarely accompanied Xu Pingfei to do anything. When they were together, they mostly attended banquets or business events. They never had such pure sightseeing activities before.
Xu Pingfei gave him a rare gentle smile and made a promise. “Then it’s settled. You’re not allowed to go back on your words at the last minute.”
Nodding, Fang Pingjue sent a message to his secretary. As he typed, he said, “I’ll ask my secretary to empty the time on that day.”
Seeing that everyone was going, Qiao Jiusheng patted Fang Yuqing, who was silent beside her, on the shoulder. “Qingqing, are you coming with us?”
After her engagement to Jiang Wei, Fang Yuqing had become more cheerful.
She smiled, tempted.
Fang Yuqing had to apply for leave on Tuesdays and Saturdays to catch up on lessons. She did not agree immediately and only said, “If I get a leave, I’ll go.” She thought of something and said, “I’ll call Brother and see if he’s free. If he’s free, we’ll go together with the whole family.”
Fang Yu’an was in university. He had a place near the school, so he rarely came back.
“Okay.”
On the day of the official business, as the person in charge of the project, Fang Mu naturally had to go.
In other words, the entire family would go out on the 28th.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to bring you guys out to play,” Fang Mu said.
“Okay.”
This matter was finalized.
After the meal, Fang Mu stood up and bade farewell to the others. Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng stood up and returned to their house. “Let’s wear couple outfits on that day.” Qiao Jiusheng had always been envious of couples who wore couple outfits for dates.
