Chapter 579 Our Baby Will Be Cuter

Shen Qianan went upstairs under the servant’s lead. The room was tidy, and all the daily necessities, too, were prepared. It did not lack anything at all. Despite so, the servant still asked, “Ms. Shen, do look around and tell us if you need anything else. I’ll head out and purchase them for you right away.”

“There’s no need for that.” Shen Qianan opened the closet and saw a wardrobe full of clothes. All the clothes were brand new. In fact, the price tags were still attached.

Upon seeing that, the servant hurriedly said, “Because Young Master Chengyan and Madam made a last-minute decision to come back, we have not yet organized everything here. All these clothes were sent from the shop on short notice and chosen according to your measurements. We can always exchange these clothes if you don’t like them!”

“It’s fine. I love these clothes!” Shen Qianan took a look at the clothes and noticed that they were mainly from the brands under Shengyuan Group. Each piece of clothing was custom-made, so of course, she loved them. There was no reason for her to be fussy when ordinary people struggled to get even one piece of clothing while she had a whole wardrobe of them.

“You can leave for now. There’s nothing that I am not satisfied with.”

“All right!” The servant heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Ms. Shen, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?”

“I am not a picky eater!”

Shen Qianan was well aware of the circumstances she was currently in. Considering the big scene that was made when they came over that day, she knew Fu Chengyan and the others must have been alerted and cognizant that Fu Sijue would surely make a move.

However, she did not know the rationale behind Fu Sijue’s actions. Did he make a move because he wants to confront the Fu clan or me?

A woeful smile touched Shen Qianan’s lips. I can’t be the reason. People like him would do anything to get revenge. His targets are first Pei Huan and Bao, then Shi Nuan, and me the last.

She closed her eyes slightly and then opened them. Upon hearing the sound of someone knocking on the door, she asked, “Who is it?”

“Ms. Qianan, it’s me, Huo Ling!”

When Huo Ling’s soft voice rang outside the room, Shen Qianan composed herself and answered the door, after which she saw the young lady poking her head into the room. The moment Huo Ling saw Shen Qianan, she giggled for a while. Stroking her own head, she said, “Ms. Qianan, my room is next to yours!”

“You’re staying here too?” Shen Qianan was quite surprised. “Aren’t you staying at Li Heng’s place?”

“Hehe, you all are staying here. Of course, I will be here too!”

Huo Ling swiveled her eyes for a moment and suddenly asked in a pitiful tone, “Do you not like me, Ms. Qianan?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“No, no, that’s impossible!” There was no way Shen Qianan would not like her.

Although Huo Ling was only a teenager, her medical skills were excellent. Moreover, Shen Qianan could have lost her life had it not been for her. Huo Ling was her savior. Thus, it was impossible for Shen Qianan to dislike her.

Only when Huo Ling heard Shen Qianan’s reassurance did her face break into a smile. “That’s good. I am such a people person. Everybody loves me. It’s impossible that someone dislikes me!”

Her exclamation amused Shen Qianan. “Yes, you’re adorable!”

“Oh right! Ms. Qianan, let’s go downstairs. I’m famished!”

Huo Ling then walked hand in hand with Shen Qianan down the staircase. After the earlier lighthearted exchange, the latter’s spirits had been lifted too.

In the meantime, Li Heng and Su Shaoqing had left, so Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan were the only ones in the living room.

When Huo Ling and Shen Qianan arrived downstairs, they were greeted by the sight of Shi Nuan sitting on the couch while Fu Chengyan sat next to her. The man was peeling oranges for his wife and fed the orange slices to her directly as he was afraid of getting her hands dirty. “If you want to eat oranges, that’s fine. But you can’t overeat. It’s not good for your stomach!”

“All right. I know!” While speaking, Shi Nuan reached out to take the orange from Fu Chengyan’s hand, but he motioned her to open her mouth and fed her yet another orange slice.

“Oh, I am so envious of Mr. Handsome and Mrs. Beautiful!” Huo Ling exclaimed and pulled out her phone from her pocket. After snapping a picture of the couple, she sent it to the WeChat group.

As she had joined the WeChat group earlier and became friendly with the group members, someone immediately texted the group after she sent the photo.

Su Shaoqing: What? Please don’t let us witness PDA again! Li Heng: This is too much! Pei Jingxiu sent an ellipsis to express how speechless he was.

Pei Huan, too, chimed in with a text: Darling, let’s teach them a lesson! Bao: Why would you do such a thing in front of a child!

Fu Chengyan’s phone was right next to Shi Nuan. Upon seeing that the phone screen was flashing with notifications, she picked it up and unlocked it. Instantly, she was stunned by what she saw.

Then, she shot a sidelong glance at her husband, who looked at her confusedly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shi Nuan could not find the words to reply, so she passed the phone to him.

Fu Chengyan merely darted a glance at his phone before tossing it to the side. Afterward, he gave another slice of orange to her and said, “Ignore them. They’re just jealous!”

Shi Nuan was at a loss of words too. Huo Ling, who was standing at the staircase, squeezed Shen Qianan’s hand and said excitedly, “Ms. Qianan, I am so envious of this! Say, when do you think I’ll find someone who loves me this much?”

Shen Qianan glanced at her and said, “You’re still young!” The latter was still a minor, after all.

“What? I am not young anymore!” Huo Ling declared confidently while puffing out her chest. However, when Shen Qianan glanced at her chest, she looked instinctively toward the older woman and was left feeling deflated. “Ms. Qianan, you’re such a meanie!”

In a resigned tone, Shen Qianan said, “I’m merely saying that you’re still too young to be in a relationship.”

“Really?” Huo Ling asked suspiciously. Shen Qianan nodded with a serious look on her face and said, “Yes!”

“All right, then!” With that, Huo Ling continued to walk down the stairs hand in hand with Shen Qianan. “Mr. Handsome and Mrs. Beautiful, what are you guys doing there?”

Shi Nuan turned her head and looked at the duo. In a slightly amused tone, she exhorted, “Ms. Huo, don’t snap photos sneakily the next time!”

“Well… That was not taking photos sneakily. That was me collecting beautiful things!” Huo Ling said with a straight face. She then looked toward Fu Chengyan and blinked at him. “Am I right, Mr. Handsome?”

The corner of his lips quirked upward. “Yes, whatever you say is right, Ms. Huo!”

“Yan!” Shi Nuan could not help but call out his name resignedly. Fu Chengyan merely smiled and said, “Come over and take a seat!”

Shen Qianan and Huo Ling then sat on the couch. The latter made herself comfortable, treating this place as her home.

On the other hand, Shen Qianan felt quite awkward as she took her seat, probably because she was accustomed to her old ways of behaving around Fu Chengyan. Although she had talked things out with him, she was still afraid of him.

Naturally, Fu Chengyan sensed her uneasiness, but he did not say anything. “Yu is at the Fu residence. He is doing very well. My mother and Aunt Ning are taking care of him.”

Shen Qianan nodded. “Thank you.”

“If you miss him, I could ask my men to send him over.” Yu was Shen Qianan’s biological child, after all. Moreover, Yu had a somewhat withdrawn disposition; he was not as sociable as Bao.

“You could do that?” Shen Qianan asked, her eyes lighting up with hope. Ever since she was taken away by Fu Sijue’s people, she had not seen Yu for a very long time.

Although she did return before that, she was afraid Yu would be frightened if he saw her covered in wounds and scars. That was why she had been refraining from thinking about him. However, he was her own child. It was impossible for her not to miss him.

Fu Chengyan nodded. “We have a lot of spare rooms here, anyway. You don’t have to worry about it.”

At that, Shen Qianan let out a breath of relief and said, “Thank you. Thank you so much, Chengyan!”

“Qianan, we’re family. There’s no need to be overly polite!” Shi Nuan could not help but pipe up. She knew that Shen Qianan was probably still bothered by what had happened before. However, in her opinion, there was no reason for the latter to behave in that way since they had all cleared the air. “Why are you afraid of him? He doesn’t bite. If he dares to do anything to you, I’ll kick him out!”

Fu Chengyan arched an eyebrow. “Hmm?”

There was a mischievous gleam in his eyes. In response, Shi Nuan raised her chin and looked at him provocatively. “Did I say anything wrong?”

That had him smile in resignation. As he reached out to caress her head, he replied, “Yes, everything you say is right!”

Satisfied with his answer, Shi Nuan smiled. “That’s more like it!”

“Ahem!” Shen Qianan cleared her throat.

Although she knew that the two of them were in love with each other, she still felt uncomfortable seeing the public display of affection between them both. When their attention was on her again, she asked, “Then…”

“I’ve asked Zhou Zheng to pick him up. They should be here soon.”

“So fast?” Shen Qianan was not the only one who felt astonished at his reply. Shi Nuan, too, was taken aback.

Indeed, after a short while, the doorbell rang. Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and said, “That should be them.”

The servant answered the door. The next moment, Zhou Zheng came in with Yu in one of his arms while carrying the boy’s small suitcase in his other hand.

Yu looked around with his large eyes, and his gaze eventually settled on Shen Qianan. “Mommy!”

“Yu!”

It had been a long time since Shen Qianan last saw him, so she got up hurriedly upon hearing him call for her. “Yu.”

At that sight, Zhou Zheng put Yu down on the floor. When the boy saw his mother walking toward him, he ran toward her with his short legs and jumped into her arms. “Mommy, I miss you so much!”

“Yu, I miss you so much too!” Shen Qianan carried Yu in her arms. “Yu, you’ve been eating properly, haven’t you? You’ve put on quite some weight!”

Yu smiled shyly. “They feed me every day.” As he was replying to her, he rubbed his round belly. “I’ve gained weight. They said that if I do, Mommy will come back!”

“Yeah, they didn’t lie to you!” Tears of joy welled up in her eyes. Hugging him, she nuzzled his head. Her worry from all this while melted away at that moment. “Yu, I will never leave you again, ever.”

“Really? I love you the most, Mommy!” Yu caressed Shen Qianan’s face with his hands and kissed her cheeks. “I love you, Mommy!”

“I love you too, Yu!”

As Shi Nuan watched the interaction between Shen Qianan and Yu, her expression softened. She reached out and squeezed Fu Chengyan’s hand. “Yan, this is so nice. Do you think our baby will be this adorable too?”

She then looked up at him, her eyes twinkling with expectation.

With a gentle expression on his face, Fu Chengyan caressed his wife’s hair. “Yes, our baby will be cuter!”
