Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 271: Public indecency! Excessive attention to trivialities!

Qi Bufan has a daughter!

A storm brewed in Qiao Jiusheng’s heart.

Did I miss something?

“Since when do you have a daughter? How old is she? Are you married? Where’s your wife? Didn’t you say that you’re not married and are still single?” That night, after getting drunk, Qi Bufan had criticized Fang Yusheng. Qiao Jiusheng still found it funny when she thought about it.

However, now it turned out that this self-proclaimed single person who couldn’t even afford a toilet in Binjiang City actually had a daughter!

A daughter, not a cat or dog!

Qiao Jiusheng was so shocked that she asked countless questions.

Qi Bufan saw her shock and knew that it was a little sudden. His expression turned gentle, and his heart melted at the thought of his daughter. “I’m not married, but I have a daughter.”

Qiao Jiusheng did not understand what he meant.

He’s not married. Where did his daughter come from?

He gave birth to her himself?

The way Qiao Jiusheng looked at Qi Bufan became filled with doubt about life.

Our family’s male assistant can give birth!

This realization shocked Qiao Jiusheng.

Qi Bufan did not know that Qiao Jiusheng’s thoughts had gone far off. He stared at the jade pieces on the ground and said softly, “She’s not my biological daughter. She’s my comrade’s daughter.”

Qi Bufan used to be a soldier.

His father had left early, and he had lived with his mother alone. His grades in school were not good, and he was an ordinary child, neither good nor bad. He always swam around in the middle. So when he was in his second year, he joined the army.

Initially, he was not allowed to enlist before he turned 18. However, his situation was special. The army officers recruited him into the army after seeing that he was a good seedling.

Qi Bufan spent two years in an ordinary military camp. Later, he was selected to become a Marine Special Forces soldier because of his outstanding qualities in all aspects. The captain who took him in was called David. He was a very powerful, serious, but kind man.

In a mission, David had died in the sea to protect Qi Bufan.

During that mission, Qi Bufan had been fired by the army for disobeying military orders.

David’s wife had divorced him a long time ago, and his only daughter lived with David’s father. David’s father was old, and he died in the third year of Qi Bufan’s retirement. Qi Bufan felt guilty and grateful to David, so he took David’s nine-year-old daughter home to raise her.

Now, seven years had passed, and his younger daughter had grown up to become a slender and elegant lady. She was studying in the first year of high school in Qi Bufan’s hometown.

Even though Qi Bufan didn’t go back often, he still frequently called the girl and regularly transferred money to her. Sometimes, he would rush back during the holidays to have a family celebration.

Today, seeing that there was still some jade left, Qi Bufan thought of his cheap daughter and wanted to make a jade for her.

Qiao Jiusheng agreed without saying anything.

“Yes, you became a father at the age of 33. You’re extraordinary.” Qiao Jiusheng was especially curious about Qi Bufan’s daughter and could not help but ask, “Why didn’t you bring her to Binjiang City to study? Binjiang City’s education level is much better than your hometown.”

“She wants to accompany my mother,” said Qi Bufan.

“That’s understandable.”

Qi Bufan was a little worried. “But my mom’s health is getting worse and worse. After some time, I might have to take a leave of absence to go back.” Previously, when he said he would take a leave of absence to go back and find his wife, he actually wanted to go back to visit his mom.

“Just let me know when you’re going back.” Accompanying his parents was a huge matter. Qiao Jiusheng believed that Fang Yusheng would approve his leave. “When are you going back?”

Qi Bufan said, “Maybe next month.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Jiusheng touched the jade and wanted to prepare more things. When Qi Bufan returned, he would take it back and give it to his family. Qi Bufan had followed Fang Yusheng for ten years. He was not just an assistant, but was considered family.

“Don’t worry, the jade pendant will be ready before you return.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

After achieving his goal, Qi Bufan quickly left. He couldn’t stay idle.

When he left, Qiao Jiusheng immediately got up and ran to the third floor to look for Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng had been working on something recently and often stayed in the collection room to write and draw. When Fang Yusheng was designing, he never used a computer. He would draw everything on paper.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at the stack of papers in front of him and asked, “Why don’t you use a computer?”

“The computer is not safe.” Fang Yusheng’s tone was gentle.

“Someone hacked your computer to steal pictures?” Qiao Jiusheng sounded like she was joking, but when she saw Fang Yusheng nod, she immediately looked surprised and sighed. “Someone really stole them?”

“Yeah.”

When Fang Yusheng was studying at MIT, he had participated in an original design competition. Fang Yusheng had successfully entered the finals and met a senior named Richard. Richard knew that he couldn’t beat Fang Yusheng, so he got a hacker to hack his computer and steal his design drawings.

Later on, during the competition, Richard took out his design plan before him. If Fang Yusheng hadn’t been prepared, he would have been accused of stealing and plagiarizing.

At that time, although Fang Yusheng did not lose out, he had developed a habit of not doing design drawings on the computer. When he had to use the computer, he only dared to use the design software that Yan Nuo had provided him. After he was done with the design drawings, he would immediately print them out and delete them from the computer.

Fang Yusheng put down his pen when he saw Qiao Jiusheng acting mysteriously.

He leaned back against the chair and patted his legs. “Come here and sit.”

Qiao Jiusheng sat down.

She hugged his neck.

Fang Yusheng looked down at Qiao Jiusheng with warmth in his eyes.

He liked the way she unconsciously showed her attachment.

“What do you want to tell me? Why are you being so secretive?”

Qiao Jiusheng blinked at him like a little fox. “Guess what I heard just now?”

“I can’t guess.”

“It’s about Qi Bufan.”

Fang Yusheng’s interest was piqued when he heard that the matter was related to Qi Bufan. He pretended to be deep in thought. After a while, he said, “He found a girlfriend?”

“Ha…” Qiao Jiusheng laughed at his naivety. “No, he didn’t find a girlfriend.”

What else could happen to Qi Bufan?

Fang Yusheng couldn’t guess. “Don’t beat around the bush. Speak.”

“Alright.” Qiao Jiusheng’s expression turned serious as she said, “Qi Bufan has a daughter.”

Fang Yusheng’s expression turned comical.

“Were you frightened?” Qiao Jiusheng was very satisfied with Fang Yusheng’s current reaction.

Indeed, I was not the only one who got shocked.

Fang Yusheng took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, “Who did you say has a daughter? Bufan?”

“Yeah.”

Seeing him so shocked, Qiao Jiusheng found it funny. “Are you shocked?”

Fang Yusheng nodded and asked, “When did he get married? How old is his daughter? Why don’t I know?” They had known each other for ten years, but he had never known that Qi Bufan had a daughter!

Qiao Jiusheng told Fang Yusheng about Qi Bufan’s daughter.

Fang Yusheng finally regained his composure. “That’s not a real daughter. She’s an adopted daughter.” He had thought that Qi Bufan really had a daughter.

“Do you think it will be difficult for him to find a wife now that he has a daughter?” It was not easy to find a partner with a child.

Fang Yusheng thought of something and suddenly smiled meaningfully. “If he can’t find a wife, then he’ll have to ‘digest it internally.’”

Stunned, Qiao Jiusheng finally understood what that meant.

“Fang Yusheng, you’re a beast!”

Qiao Jiusheng punched Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng hurriedly apologized, “I was just joking.”

“Don’t joke around like this.” If Qi Bufan heard this, he would probably fight it out with him.

“By the way, what kind of person do you want me to sculpt?” Qiao Jiusheng stood up and took out her phone. She said to him, “I’ll take a picture of you and sculpt the jade based on the picture in the future.”

Fang Yusheng thought for a while and said, “Carve a majestic and domineering one.”

“Sure.”

Qiao Jiusheng tiptoed to take off a cane and handed it to him. She said, “Change into a suit and stand by the window. With one hand in the pocket of your suit pants and the other holding the cane, look sideways at me and give me a mighty and domineering smile.”

Fang Yusheng thought about it and felt that this style was not bad.

He quickly went back to his room to change his clothes. Then, he did as Qiao Jiusheng said and let her take a photo.

After taking the photo, Qiao Jiusheng did not disturb him anymore.

For a long time after that, Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng did their own things. One designed, while the other sculpted.

After about a month, Qiao Jiusheng finally completed the jade carving.

She placed the finished product in a wooden box and placed it on the bed. During dinner, she said to Fang Yusheng, “The jade carving is ready and is in the room. Do you want to take a look?”

Hearing that, Fang Yusheng didn’t even eat his food. He got up and ran to the master bedroom.

When he entered the room, he immediately saw the gift box on the bedside table. Fang Yusheng happily opened the box. When he saw himself in the box, he was first stunned, then his face instantly darkened. It was because the carving really…

It really lacked public decency!

The jade statue’s posture was similar to Fang Yusheng’s when he gave the pose that day. His posture was straight like a pine tree. His head was tilted slightly, and the outline of his side profile was clear and strong. However, Fang Yusheng’s right hand, which was in his trouser pocket, had become a hand on his waist. His left hand was carved in the same way as the photo, and he held the cane in a domineering manner.

This jade carving was good in every way. The quality of the jade was top-grade, and the carving was done to perfection. Even the jade carving’s appearance was almost the same as the real Fang Yusheng. Even his hair was almost identical to the picture.

At first glance, everyone would say that it was a perfect jade sculpture.

However, something was wrong!

Fang Yusheng had worn clothes during the photoshoot that day! Then why was the jade statue in front of him wearing only a pair of boxers to cover his body? It was because of him not wearing pants that the hands, which were in his pockets, could only be used to support his waist.

Qiao Jiusheng had carved the jade very carefully, and even the nipples on Fang Yusheng’s chest could be seen. Although they were small, they were very alluring.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yusheng suppressed the shock in his heart and stared at the carvings for a long while. He could not help but grumble, “Public indecency! Excessive attention to trivialities!”

She had fed all the skills she learned to the dogs!

When Qiao Jiusheng heard the door open, she turned around and saw Fang Yusheng’s strange and gloomy expression. She knew that her work had angered him.

“How was the carving?” Qiao Jiusheng smiled.

Fang Yusheng ignored her and continued eating.

Qiao Jiusheng finished her meal honestly. Seeing that Fang Yusheng did not intend to bother her, she said, “If you don’t like it, I’ll change him into another small ornament and make another one in the future.” That was the first time she had carved a naked man.

She thought it looked good and couldn’t bear to throw it away.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yusheng did not look good. “Leave it here. It’s all done.” Actually, Qiao Jiusheng was excellent at sculpting. It would be even better if she could sculpt him wearing clothes.

Fang Yusheng had initially thought that he would show off the carving to Yan Nuo and the rest someday. But now, he was naked as a sculpture. How was he going to show off?

“Okay then.”

Qiao Jiusheng was about to get up when the babies in her stomach kicked her.

She froze.

Fang Yusheng looked over. “What’s wrong? Did they kick you again?”

Qiao Jiusheng nodded. “The little guy is getting more and more energetic. I’m not done carving Bufan’s pendant yet. He’s going home next week, so I’ll continue working.” Qiao Jiusheng went upstairs, carved for a while, and felt a little cold.

The weather in October of the lunar calendar was already a little cold. Qiao Jiusheng was only wearing a thin sweater, and she did not move much while sitting. Her feet and back were cold. Now that she was pregnant, it would be troublesome if she caught a cold. Qiao Jiusheng got up, left the studio, and went downstairs to get thicker clothes.

She had just walked down the stairs and was about to turn to the master bedroom when she heard Fang Yusheng’s voice from the bedroom beside her.

He asked, “What’s the situation?”

Qi Bufan said, “The police are investigating the origin of Cheng Ke’s gun.”

Upon hearing the word “gun,” Qiao Jiusheng stopped in her tracks. She turned around and walked to the door of Qi Bufan’s room to eavesdrop on the conversation.
