Ling’er gave birth to a son who weighed six catties and seven taels. The birth went very smoothly.

It was Feng Jiuxiao’s first time witnessing birth and he felt his heart ache.

When he was in confinement, he hired a professional mid-wife. Feng Jiuxiao also stayed by her side.

Qin Shu was hugging her younger brother. He was sleeping with his eyes closed. His little face was pink and tender. It reminded her of the time when Xiao Jiu was just born.

It also gave her the idea of having a second child.

Feng Jiuxiao looked at the boy and the girl.

After the birth, Feng Jiuxiao brought up the matter of going to Qi Mountain to stay.

Ling’er thought about it and nodded her head in agreement.

Maybe it was because she had reached the age where all she wanted to do was settle down. She looked at the man in front of her. Just as Fu Tingyu said, the time they spent together was getting less and less each day. She should cherish whatever time they had left.

Feng Jiuxiao was very happy. He also noticed that Ling’er seemed to have accepted him. This was the happiest thing for him.

Feng Jiuxiao and Ling’er brought their son to Qi Mountain. Qin Shu knew about it and she was also very happy because her parents finally had no estrangement and lived happily together.

Other than not being able to see each other every day, everything else was good.

…

At night.

Qin Shu showered and picked a wine-red sexy nightgown. She went to the study room.

The door opened, and she saw the man sitting in front of the desk busy. She walked in and closed the door.

Fu Tingyu heard the movement, and his gaze moved from the screen in front of him to the door. He saw his wife walking over in a nightgown. Her fair and delicate skin in contrast with the wine-red silk nightgown made her look even more seductive and sexy.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he licked his somewhat dry lips.

Qin Shu walked over. Her pace was neither too fast nor too slow, making her appear even more alluring.

“Are you done with your work?”

Fu Tingyu held his breath. “Almost.”

Qin Shu walked over slowly and placed her hand on the armrest behind the man. She exerted force with her palm and turned him around. Then, she sat on his side and looked at the computer screen in front of her. She asked gently, “What are you doing now?”

Fu Tingyu held the mouse with one hand. The scent of the girl filled his nose, making his eyes darken. “The company’s half-year results report.”

Qin Shu nodded, then stood up and smiled at him. “Then you continue with your work. I’ll wait for you in the bedroom.”

How could Fu Tingyu still be in the mood to continue with his work? Seeing that his wife was about to leave, he grabbed her hand and made her fall back into his arms. “Babe.”

Qin Shu looked at him in confusion. “Aren’t you busy?”

“I’m not busy anymore. Let’s go back to the bedroom now.”

Fu Tingyu turned off the computer casually, then carried the person in his arms and walked out in large strides.

Qin Yao wrapped his arms around the man’s neck as she smiled smugly.

After returning to the bedroom, Fu Tingyu could not wait to kiss the person in his arms. The door was closed with his feet.

Qin Shu lay on the bed and looked at the man. “Let’s have a second child.”

“Having a child is too painful. Having Xiao Jiu is good enough.”

Fu Tingyu supported himself with one hand on the bed and looked down at the girl. He caressed her red lips and lowered his head to kiss her again.

Seeing that the man didn’t agree to have a second child, Qin Shu curled her lips.

“Babe, what are you doing?”

“I like this.”

“What if…”

Before Fu Tingyu could finish his sentence, Qin Shu hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.

For a few nights in a row, Fu Tingyu returned to his bedroom before ten o’clock, but did not go to bed until one or two o’clock in the morning.

Tonight, Fu Tingyu was hugging his wife. The two of them had just taken a shower. He looked down at the person in his arms and said worriedly, “Did you take the birth control pill? What if you get pregnant…”

Qin Shu couldn’t wait. There were a few dishes that were especially good for the nighttime. She had also asked Gu Yan for a menu and asked the chef to prepare it every night.

Fu Tingyu would eat whatever dishes she chose.

She smiled and said, “Then I’ll give birth. We can give Xiao Jiu a little sister or brother.”

Only then did Fu Tingyu realize that his wife had always wanted to have a second child. Moreover, she had been unusually exuberant these days. Even if she didn’t take the initiative to flirt with him, just a glance from her would make him unable to control himself.

Thinking about the dishes he had eaten for dinner these past few days, he realized what was going on.

His expression did not look good. Was his wife questioning his sexual ability?

He suddenly asked, “Babe, are you tired?”

Qin Shu was rubbing her slightly sore waist. She looked up at the man. “I’m fine. What’s wrong?”

“Then let’s do it.”

Fu Tingyu curled his lips into a smile and turned around to kiss her.

…

A month later, Qin Shu looked at the two red lines on the pregnancy test stick and couldn’t stop smiling. As she wished, she was pregnant with a second child.

“Hubby, we’re going to have another child.”

Fu Tingyu sat across from her with a calm expression. It wasn’t that he was unhappy about having a second child, but whenever he thought about how exhausted she looked in the delivery room, his heart would ache.

When Xiao Jiu came back from school, he saw his parents on the sofa, one happy and the other depressed. He smiled a little smugly. “Dad, did you get scolded again?”

Fu Tingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jiu. “Do you want a beating?”

Xiao Jiu had never been afraid of Fu Tingyu because of his mother. He snorted. “I’m standing right here. Dad, if you dare to touch me, I guarantee that you’ll end up sleeping in the study tonight.”

Fu Tingyu was speechless. He turned his head to look at his wife and looked at her belly. He hoped that the second child would be a daughter.

Qin Shu smiled and said to Xiao Jiu, “Xiao Jiu, you’re going to have a little brother or sister.”

“Really?” Xiao Jiu happily threw away his school bag and came in front of Qin Shu. He stared at her belly and said, “No wonder dad is unhappy. It turns out that there’s going to be someone else competing for your attention.”

Qin Shu could not help but laugh out loud. “Are you happy to have a younger brother or sister?”

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, “Of course I’m happy. I’ve already grown up and can protect my younger brother or sister.”

“That’s good.”

Qin Shu was initially worried that Xiao Jiu would feel that no one would love him if he had a younger brother or sister. Now, she was not worried anymore.

…

Fu Tingyu spent some time to help Mo Chengxu look up information about Yang Yuan. The result was out of everyone’s expectations.

Mo Chengxu looked at the information on Yang Yuan in his hand, or rather, Su Ruan’s. The two of them were the same person, which meant that she was his child’s betrothed.

After so many years, he finally knew that the woman who had been by his side for four to five years had always been his child’s betrothed, Su Ruan.

He sat in the car and stared at the information for a long time. He did not understand why Su Ruan would lie to him. Since she was back and knew that she was his child’s betrothed, why did she use the fake name Yang Yuan?

He turned his head to look at the Su family’s villa. Su Ruan had gone abroad and hadn’t been back for a long time. He also couldn’t contact Su Ruan.

He wanted to ask her in person why she would lie to him.

He had been sitting in the car for an hour. After thinking for a while, in order to figure it out, he pushed open the car door and got out. He wanted to ask Aunt Su for Su Ruan’s contact information.

The Mo family and the Su family were old friends, so it was very easy to enter.

He had visited the Su family when he was younger. Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had never visited again, nor had he seen Su Ruan. That was why many years later, he didn’t recognize her at the entrance of Jiangcheng University.

He was walking on the bluestone road when suddenly, a colorful ball rolled toward him. It happened to be blocked by his feet. He lowered his head to look at the ball by his feet. At that moment, a one-year-old baby wearing a pair of denim overalls walked over slowly and bent down to pick up the ball on the ground. In the end, he lost his balance and fell on his butt. She cried out loud.

Mo Chengxu was stunned for a moment. After he regained his senses, he bent down and picked up the baby on the ground. After all, he was once an uncle. He patted the baby’s back gently, he coaxed, “Alright, don’t cry anymore. I will buy you candy to eat, alright?”

Mo Chengxu was coaxing the baby when he suddenly saw the person walking towards him. He was stunned. He thought she was still abroad, but he did not expect her to be back already.

It had been two years since they last met. She did not seem to have changed much from before, but she seemed to have changed a lot.

Su Ruan was also stunned. She did not expect him to come at this time. She smiled and said, “Long time no see, Mo Chengxu.”

Mo Chengxu saw her indifferent gaze and suddenly felt a little lost. “Long time no see. That day, you suddenly…”

When the baby heard that he was buying candy, he stopped crying. When he saw Su Ruan, he said in a baby voice, “Mani.”

Mo Chengxu was stunned. He looked at the baby in his arms and then at Su Ruan. He seemed to be in disbelief. “He’s yours…”

Su Ruan smiled faintly and reached out to carry her son. “Come to Mommy.”

Mo Chengxu could not help but ask, “Are you married?”

“Yes.” Su Ruan nodded. She looked at her son in her arms and realized that he was staring at Mo Chengxu. She pinched her son’s face and smiled.

Mo Chengxu looked at the mother and son in front of him. He was stunned for a long time and could not react. Perhaps her marriage and her having children was too sudden, or perhaps it was because… he never thought that Su Ruan would immediately marry another man and have children after she left him. The reason why he thought so was because the child was already a little over a year old.

Time.

He looked at Su Ruan and suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost something important.

Thinking about the purpose of his visit today, he still tried his best to control his emotions. “Then can I ask you a few questions?”

Su Ruan did not refuse. “Yes.”

Grandma carried the baby away.

Su Ruan and Mo Chengxu walked along the bluestone road.

The first thing Mo Chengxu said was, “Why did you use a fake name with me?”

“When I came back from abroad, I heard that Jiangcheng’s famous playboy liked female college students the most. He dated one girl after another. So I was curious and went to the entrance of the university to see what kind of girlfriends you had.”

“Because you didn’t recognize me, you who thought I was a college student in Jiangcheng. You even said that you would give me a sum of money if I accompanied your brother to drink. These were indeed the things that rich people like to do.”

Su Ruan said indifferently, as if these things were already in the past.

Mo Chengxu was a little embarrassed. What she said was indeed the truth.

“Then why did you suddenly leave after being by my side for so many years? I don’t understand the meaning of the note you left.”

He took out his wallet and opened it. He took out a neatly folded note and handed it to her. This was his last question, and it was also something that he hadn’t understood in the past two years.

Su Ruan looked at the note in front of her and was a little surprised. She was surprised that he did not throw it away. Instead, he had kept it so well until now.

She held the note. She had written the words on it with her own hands, so she remembered it very clearly.

“I wrote it very clearly. I have the right to terminate the fake boyfriend-girlfriend contract. I used the identity of Yang Yuan to accompany you for more than four years. Other than money, you did not give me anything. That night, you were drunk. Let me ask you, do you have any plans to get married? ”

Su Ruan looked at Mo Chengxu. She no longer had the stubbornness she had in the past, “You spent money to support Yang Yuan for four years. It’s normal for you to have sex with her. So, you spent money to get what you wanted. Yang Yuan also spent four years to learn that there are as many beautiful women around you as there are clouds. She’s not one of them. Also, you won’t give up all those beautiful women for her.”

Mo Chengxu was stunned. Only then did he understand the meaning of the note. So that was what it meant.

Su Ruan waited for a while and said, “Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, I want to get my son to sleep.”

Mo Chengxu shook his head. He understood everything now. It seemed to be too late.

“Then I’ll go get my son to sleep. Excuse me.”

Su Ruan smiled and turned to leave.

Mo Chengxu suddenly stopped her. “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”

Su Ruan stopped in her tracks. She did not turn around. “I asked two years ago, and I already know the answer. Now, there are no more questions to ask.”

After saying that, she walked away.

Mo Chengxu stood where he was and watched her leave. He was stunned for a long time. That night, he did not hear what she said at all.

He had kept a lot of female college students as side chicks, and it was true that he was famous for it. It was just that he didn’t want to get married.

He didn’t have any intimate actions with any girls. He didn’t even kiss them, let alone share a bed with them.

He also didn’t bring any women home. He never spent the night outside, and his relationship with them never lasted more than a month.

He only brought Su Ruan home, took her on trips, and stayed in a hotel together.

He had been with her for four years, but he had never mentioned wanting her. It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested in her, but that he had been enduring it.

That night, he was really drunk, and that was why he couldn’t control himself.

If he had known that she had stayed by his side for only one reason, he definitely wouldn’t have let her leave.

Definitely not.

He watched Su Ruan walk in with the baby in her arms until he couldn’t see her. Now, he knew everything, and it was too late.

After playing around for so many years, he realized that he had accomplished nothing. His career wasn’t successful, and his relationship wasn’t successful.

…

It was August in Lijiang, and the weather was a little hot.

Fu Tingyan gave himself a long vacation. He had been busy for so long, and he heard that Lijiang had beautiful scenery and that the lodgings were famous. It was suitable for a vacation.

So, he came.

On the first day he came, he rented a lodgings. The owner was from Jiangcheng. He heard from the owner that there was a tourist living next door to him, and his accent also sounded like he was from Jiangcheng.

Fu Tingyan only listened and did not intend to greet her.

The next day, he went out to play.

There were not many tourists this season. Fu Tingyan stood on the bridge and looked at the scenery from the guesthouse. His gaze fell on the bridge opposite. Although the distance was a little far, he could still recognize her at a glance. She was Bo Ye.
