Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 312: Friends Are Meant To Hurt Each Other

Chapter 312: Friends Are Meant To Hurt Each Other


Soon after, Zhuang Long finished sealing the wound.


The nurses pushed Qiao Jiusheng out of the operating theater. The moment she came out, she saw Fang Yusheng and Qiao Sen running over to her. Fang Yusheng deeply looked at her. When he saw her smile at him, he felt relieved.


Zhuang Long said to Fang Yusheng. “They’re all safe. The elder brother weighs 5.1 kg, and the younger brother weighs 5.2 kg.”


“Thanks.”


Fang Yusheng pushed Qiao Jiusheng to the bed while Ji Qing and Xu Pingfei each carried a child. The group returned to the delivery room.


After she had been moved to the bed, Qiao Jiusheng’s mouth became dry. Fang Yusheng used a cotton swab to wipe her mouth. Qiao Jiusheng was exhausted, so she had to sleep before the anesthesia wore off completely. Otherwise, when the anesthesia would wear off, she would feel excruciating pain in her wound and might not be able to fall asleep.


Now, Fang Yusheng finally had the time to visit the two children that Qiao Jiusheng had given birth to. The two brothers were wearing the same cotton clothing and hat. They were covered with a blanket.


The two children were sleeping. The eldest child was sleeping very quietly. Although the second child was also sleeping with his eyes closed, his mouth was in an O shape that kept opening and closing.


When Fang Yusheng saw this, he criticized his youngest son in his heart: Weak!


Fang Yusheng watched them for a while and turned around to ask Xu Pingfei, “Aunt Xu, is he hungry?” Fang Yusheng wanted to stick his finger into his son’s mouth.


He had just extended a finger to the child when Xu Pingfei saw it and immediately hit him.


Fang Yusheng retracted his hand in embarra.s.sment. Xu Pingfei scolded him. “You have germs on your hands. How can you touch your son like this? You’re not allowed to do this in the future. The diseases enter the body from the mouth. You have to be more careful as a father.”


After being scolded by Xu Pingfei, Fang Yusheng felt a little strange.


In the past, Xu Pingfei had always been polite to him. This was the first time she had scolded him. Fang Yusheng felt that he might not be able to maintain his lofty status as the Eldest Young Master, and his emotions became even more complicated.


Indeed, all grandmothers in the world were the same. They forgot their children when they had grandchildren…


Xu Pingfei didn’t notice the subtle change in Fang Yusheng’s thoughts.


She lovingly looked at her two grandchildren, and a kind smile appeared on her face. When her gaze fell on the younger brother, it became even more loving. Xu Pingfei said, “It’s okay if children don’t eat on the first day they’re born. When Ah Sheng gets better tomorrow, try to let them drink their Mommy’s milk.”


Fang Yusheng rubbed his nose and snorted. “They are lucky.”


Xu Pingfei was stunned.


After understanding what Fang Yusheng meant, she couldn’t help but scold him. “How are you a father? You’re jealous of your children?”


Fang Yusheng looked embarra.s.sed and didn’t say anything.


It was almost one o’clock in the afternoon, and everyone was still in the delivery room. Fang Yusheng asked Qi Bufan to bring them to eat and arrange a hotel for Ji Qing and Qiao Sen. After everyone left, the delivery room became quiet, leaving only Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yusheng, and Xu Pingfei, who had stayed behind to take care of Qiao Jiusheng.


When it was almost two o’clock, Qiao Jiusheng woke up with a painful wound.


Hearing her groan, Fang Yusheng felt terrible.


He quickly sat down beside her and asked, “Is it very painful?”


Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and said, “It’s not particularly painful. I just feel a little uncomfortable.”


Fang Yusheng lowered his head. He could not feel Qiao Jiusheng’s pain and could only feel anxious. He felt that he was quite useless. Ah Sheng gave birth to two children, and I could not help at all.


At three in the afternoon, Qi Bufan arrived at the hospital with a lunchbox.


He had brought food for Fang Yusheng and Aunt Xu.


When Qiao Jiusheng smelled the food’s fragrance, she felt so hungry that she was about to break down. However, she had to avoid bloating, so she could only watch them eat. Xu Pingfei opened the lunchbox and started eating. Fang Yusheng could not bear to see Qiao Jiusheng’s starving look.


He went to get a basin of water and wiped Qiao Jiusheng’s face, arms, and feet.


When he was done, Qiao Jiusheng saw that he was not going to eat. So, she urged him. “Hurry up and eat.”


Fang Yusheng shook his head and said, “I’m not hungry.”


Qiao Jiusheng naturally did not believe him.


She could guess what Fang Yusheng was thinking.


Qiao Jiusheng felt rather helpless, but also a little touched. She felt that Fang Yusheng was a little silly, but also cute. “Hurry up and eat. After you eat, I have something for you to do.”


“Do what?”


“I’ll tell you after you eat.”


Seeing that Fang Yusheng was still not cooperating, Qiao Jiusheng pretended to be cold. She scolded Fang Yusheng. “If you don’t eat, I’ll be angry.”


When Fang Yusheng saw that Qiao Jiusheng was really about to get angry, he started to eat.


He put all the dishes into his bowl and ran to the end of the corridor alone. There, he quickly took a few bites.


He returned very quickly. When Qiao Jiusheng saw him, she frowned. “Your stomach is not good. You should eat slower.”


Fang Yusheng shook his head and said, “I’m fine. What do you want me to do?”


Qiao Jiusheng first asked Qi Bufan to go out. After that, she asked Fang Yusheng and Aunt Xu to help her change the mattress on the bedsheets. Then, she asked Fang Yusheng to change her pants. Finally, she said, “Bring over the pump. Help me pump out the milk and feed it to them.”


Although it was alright for newborns not to eat on the first day, Qiao Jiusheng could not bear to let them go hungry.


Fang Yusheng complied with her.


Before Qiao Jiusheng had given birth, Fang Yusheng would often help her ma.s.sage her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. In those few days, he had taken quite a bit of advantage of that. Therefore, Fang Yusheng was quite proficient when it came to this. He pumped for more than ten minutes but did not manage to pump out much milk. However, Xu Pingfei said that this was very normal. It will be like this for the first two days.


Fang Yusheng carried his elder son carefully, wanting to feed him first.


His posture of carrying a child was seriously flawed.


He was afraid that he would hurt them if he used too much strength, so he stiffened his hands and dragged the child with his arms as if he were holding an imperial edict.


In the end, Xu Pingfei carried the child while Fang Yusheng fed him.


The elder son was still sleeping, but falling asleep didn’t stop him from drinking the milk. He only drank a few spoonfuls before stopping. The younger one, on the other hand, drank a little more and woke up as he drank the milk. He even cried after he finished. Fang Yusheng had no choice but to coax him. This child had a temper and wouldn’t stop crying.


After finally coaxing him to sleep, Fang Yusheng could not help but roll his eyes. He even complained to Qiao Jiusheng. “I told you that our sons are here to collect debts, but you didn’t believe me.”


Qiao Jiusheng did not reply.


At night, Xu Pingfei left. In the middle of the night, the two children were sleeping soundly. Fang Yusheng couldn’t help but praise them. “How obedient! They didn’t disturb us the whole night.”


Qiao Jiusheng could not help but laugh and say, “When they are older, you will know how scary they are. When they are just born, they sleep for a long time. They will become more mischievous in the future.”


At that time, Fang Yusheng had not taken Qiao Jiusheng’s words to heart. In the end, after they were discharged from the hospital after a few days, the two little fellows’ tempers got worse by the day. As their sleeping time decreased, they woke up more. This was especially torturous.


Fang Yusheng wasn’t willing to find a nanny, and he didn’t have a proper job either. Therefore, he became a full-time father at home. He would often carry one child in each hand and sing while walking to coax the children. During that period, Fang Yusheng’s days were like a spinning top. He was so busy that he didn’t have time to rest.


That was why Fang Yusheng refused to have more children.


***


Qiao Jiusheng was finally able to eat the next day.


Aunt Jin had already returned to Binjiang City. The older generation said that women had to eat more pork trotters and chicken after giving birth. However, science had debunked that idea. The doctor suggested that the pregnant woman eat lighter food. Hence, Aunt Jin made radish soup for Qiao Jiusheng.


Qiao Jiusheng finished the big bowl of radish soup.


She was really hungry.


Zhuang Long was also busy during this period. He had to return to America on the third day after the surgery.


Before he left, he went to the delivery room to visit Qiao Jiusheng. He was relieved to see that she was recovering well.


Fang Yusheng seriously thanked him. “Thank you for this.”


Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows, and his expression turned serious. He said, “There’s no need to thank me. Look, I can save on giving the children meeting gifts, right?” Before the children were born, Fang Yusheng had been clamoring for his friends to give the children meeting gifts. He had said that they could not give less than 800,000 yuan in cash, and the gift must be a sports car.


At that time, Suzanne had even told him, “Your children are so young. There’s no point in us giving them sports cars as gifts.”


Fang Yusheng said, “We’ll keep them for now and open them when they’re older.”


Zhuang Long nudged Fang Yusheng’s arm and said, “I brought them to this world. I want to be the sponsor for your children’s baptisms.” Fang Yusheng didn’t believe in Christianity, but Zhuang Long was a devout believer. When Zhuang Long saw that Fang Yusheng was thinking about his suggestion, he quickly said, “I forgot that you’re not a Christian.”


Fang Yusheng nodded.


Zhuang Long said, “Then I’ll be their G.o.dfather, okay?”


Fang Yusheng raised an eyebrow and replied, “Sure.”


Zhuang Long smiled and turned around, planning to hug his G.o.dsons before returning home. At this moment, Fang Yusheng suddenly said, “As my brother, I can waive the meeting gifts for the children.”


Knowing that he had more to say, Zhuang Long turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.


He heard Fang Yusheng say, “But, as my children’s G.o.dfather, you can’t possibly refuse to give them any gifts, right?”


Zhuang Long’s smiling face froze.


“I’ve been thinking about a question and haven’t come up with an answer. Fang Yusheng, can you help me?” Zhuang Long changed the topic too quickly.


This development stunned Fang Yusheng for a moment, then he asked, “What question?”


Zhuang Long replied, “How did a miser like you get married?”


Fang Yusheng was speechless.


Fang Yusheng suddenly said, “I have a question too.”


Zhuang Long frowned. He knew that Fang Yusheng wasn’t going to say anything good, so he asked, “What question?”


Fang Yusheng took a step closer and stared at Zhuang Long’s face for a moment before saying, “Why did such an outstanding man like you get dumped by his wife?”


Zhuang Long’s expression changed.


“Sh*t!” Zhuang Long cursed and raised his middle finger at Fang Yusheng. Then, he turned around and left without even looking at his G.o.dsons.


Qiao Jiusheng had been watching their conversation. When she saw that Zhuang Long had left, she could not help but complain to Fang Yusheng. “Aren’t you too cruel?” A few days ago, the news of Xiao Li and Zhuang Long getting a divorce had been reported from time to time. Just a few days ago, someone had even taken a photo of Xiao Li bringing their son Zhuang Qilin on a date with Bruce Gibson, an American superstar.


Fang Yusheng innocently shook his head and said, “Friends are meant to hurt each other.”


Qiao Jiusheng rolled her eyes.


***


Zhuang Long had been on the plane for more than ten hours. He got out of the car and went straight home. The moment he entered the house, he saw Xiao Li. Xiao Li had worn a long gown of the same color. Her upper body was covered with a pure black dress with translucent laces. One could see her black lingerie and her flat and s.e.xy abdomen. She was wearing a peac.o.c.k blue skirt.


With her ten-centimeter heels on the floor, she leaned against the sofa with a lady’s cigarette in her hand. As she smoked, she spoke to Zhuang Qilin.


Zhuang Qilin sat on the ground and played Lego. As he played, he educated Xiao Li. “Mommy, although you look beautiful when you smoke, please don’t smoke in front of your cute son, okay?”


Xiao Li raised her head, revealing her beautiful and slender neck. Her long golden hair flowed down her shoulders to her waist.


She was so enchanting.


She blew smoke into the air before saying, “You’re so short right now. You won’t be able to smell the smoke if I exhale above you.”


Zhuang Qilin rolled his eyes. “Mommy, that’s not right. Smoking isn’t good for you either.”


Xiao Li clicked her tongue and used her black nails to extinguish the red light. She put down her cigarette and lazily turned around. When she saw Zhuang Long, who had just returned home, her gaze paused for a moment before she turned away again.


Zhuang Long looked at her with mixed feelings.


The last time he had seen her was two days ago, in an American entertainment gossip magazine. He had seen not only Xiao Li but also another man.


Zhuang Long walked inside and glanced at Xiao Li. He asked her, “Are you going to attend a party tonight?” She was dressed to the nines. It seemed like she was going to attend a very important banquet.


Xiao Li nodded.


After the family of three had dinner, the butler brought Zhuang Qilin away so that the kid could watch television. An hour later, Zhuang Qilin showered and went to bed at 9: 30 sharp.


Only Xiao Li and Zhuang Long were left in the dining room.
