Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Young Master Fang wanted to think about life. As Young Madam Fang, Qiao Jiusheng should act as his listener.
She asked, “Have you thought of the outcome?”
Fang Yusheng nodded and said, “In the past, I felt that fate was unfair.” After a pause, just as Qiao Jiusheng was about to ask him to explain, he added, “Now, I feel that fate is extremely fair.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze landed on Fang Yusheng’s closed eyes.
Fang Mu had blinded his eyes, yet he could still say that fate was fair.
Qiao Jiusheng was extremely impressed by Fang Yusheng.
“How is it fair?”
“Look.” Fang Yusheng pointed at his eyes and gently said, “I have such beautiful eyes, but Fang Mu blinded me.” He then pointed at his stomach. “Do you know why I always eat bland dishes?”
Qiao Jiusheng answered, “It’s not because you believe in Buddha?”
“No.” Fang Yusheng poked his stomach with his finger and said, “I do it because my stomach once took a bullet. It suffered serious damage, and I can’t stand spiciness since then.” G.o.d knew that he used to be a person who liked nothing but spicy food.
Qiao Jiusheng was unaware of this.
She looked at Fang Yusheng in a daze, feeling complicated. “He was behind this too?”
Fang Yusheng nodded.
“The bullet was supposed to hit my heart, but it missed.”
Fang Yusheng’s tone was calm, but Qiao Jiusheng’s heart was in turmoil.
Bullet!
Fang Mu really wanted to kill Fang Yusheng.
At Fang Yusheng’s place, Qiao Jiusheng got to know a Fang Mu that she had never known before. In the past, Fang Mu’s image in front of her was that of a serious and cold man who had a good heart. However, it turned out that even after being in love with him for six years, she did not know him well enough.
Fang Yusheng continued, “In the past, I always thought about how to take revenge on him since he has hurt me so much. Only then could I resolve the hatred in my heart.” Fang Yusheng suddenly curled his lips and smiled. “But now, I’ve found the best solution.”
“What solution?”
Fang Yusheng had a warm smile on his face as he said in a gentle voice, “I want him to watch his children take shape day by day. I want him to watch them get born. I want him to never see them grow up.”
Fang Yusheng patted Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and humbly asked her, “Is there any more perfect revenge than this?”
Qiao Jiusheng’s body stiffened, and her face turned pale.
We have only lived together for a month. How could I forget how bloodthirsty and ruthless this person is?
The ruthless image of Fang Yusheng in her past life once again came alive in Qiao Jiusheng’s heart.
Holding her breath, she asked, “You want him to never see the twins grow up! Do you want to kill the older one or the two younger ones?”
Fang Yusheng stopped smiling and meaningfully said, “That depends on my mood.”
Qiao Jiusheng did not respond.
She knew that this person meant what he said. If he wanted to kill Fang Mu, Fang Mu would definitely die. It was just a matter of time.
“Why aren’t you talking? Are you worried about your old lover?” Fang Yusheng asked with a smile. “Do you want to know how I plan to send him to h.e.l.l?”
Qiao Jiusheng was not that careless to discuss a hundred ways to kill her ex-lover with her current husband.
Shaking her head, she quickly said, “No, he provoked you first. Whether he lives or dies, he deserves it.”
“Heh…” She is smart.
Fang Yusheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Jiusheng’s wrist swiftly and accurately.
Qiao Jiusheng felt a pain in her wrist, as Fang Yusheng pulled her into an embrace.
From afar, the two of them looked like they were flirting.
The person in question, Qiao Jiusheng, was forced to lie in Fang Yusheng’s arms. Fang Yusheng’s chest was not wide, and neither was it warm. On the contrary, it was a little cold. His lips were close to Qiao Jiusheng’s ear, and he affectionately said to Qiao Jiusheng as if he were talking to his lover, “Ah Sheng, remember! I gave you your life.”
Fang Yusheng used his other hand to press against Qiao Jiusheng’s chest. Even with the woman’s soft body in his arms, he did not feel anything. The woman’s body in his arms tensed up, and his tone became even gentler. “You can choose to not have me here, and you can choose to not love me, but your heart can never be with my brother.”
Fang Yusheng removed his hands, pushed Qiao Jiusheng away, and stood up.
“I won’t tolerate any traitors around me!” With that, he turned around and left.
As Fang Yusheng entered the house, Qiao Jiusheng looked up at his back with a complicated gaze. He did not have many requests for his wife. He did not ask for love or care. He only wished that she would not side with his enemy.
Fang Yusheng, do you know how lonely you are?
***
Qiao Jiuyin was pregnant with twins, and Fang Mu remained very careful about everything.
Seeing that her appet.i.te was poor, he even personally cooked for her.
Although Qiao Jiuyin was very considerate of him and endured her disgust to eat a bowl of rice, within a few minutes, she vomited everything out again.
Fang Mu was resting on this day.
The previous night, Qiao Jiuyin had woken up at four o’clock due to nausea in her stomach. She hadn’t slept after that. She looked exhausted and did not eat much for breakfast. Fang Mu had seen all of this, and his heart ached.
“Xiao Sheng, change your clothes. I’ll take you out for dinner.”
Hearing this, Qiao Jiuyin revealed a happy expression. “Okay.”
She went back to her room to change into a loose autumn outfit, then followed Fang Mu into the car.
Qiao Jiuyin thought that Fang Mu would bring her to eat a big meal. The car roamed in the city and finally drove into university city. It stopped in front of a grain-fis.h.i.+ng powder shop. Qiao Jiuyin looked up and saw outside the window. Her gaze fell at the Five Grains Noodles shop. The smile on her face froze for a moment.
This shop was Qiao Jiusheng’s favorite shop when she was studying at the university.
Fang Mu unbuckled Qiao Jiuyin’s seatbelt for her and stroked her slightly curled hair. His cold and hard voice became gentle. “Xiao Sheng, you loved to eat this when you were in school. Back then, I always thought that this was unhealthy and didn’t allow you to eat more. Today, I’ll allow you to eat it once.”
Qiao Jiuyin felt extremely bitter, but she still had to pretend to be happy. She jumped out of the car with a smile and said, “I want a bowl of everything.”
When Fang Mu saw that she was still as casual as before, he immediately frowned.
“Don’t jump around like that again. You’re about to become a mother.”
Qiao Jiuyin pouted at him and hummed. Then, the two of them entered the shop hand in hand.
Qiao Jiuyin ordered a bowl of sliced fish noodles while Fang Mu ordered beef noodles.
Forcing a smile, Qiao Jiuyin ate Qiao Jiusheng’s favorite noodles. Her stomach uncomfortably churned, but she could not spit it out. Fang Mu saw that Qiao Jiuyin’s eyes turned red from eating and was stunned. He handed her a piece of tissue and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qiao Jiuyin shook her head and said, “I haven’t been here in a long time. The moment I arrived at the university, I thought of my sister.”
At the mention of ‘Qiao Jiusheng’s’ sister Qiao Jiuyin, Fang Mu did not pursue her abnormal behavior.
“Xiao Sheng.” He held her hand, remained silent for a while, then dryly consoled her. “The dead are gone. You’re pregnant now, so you have to maintain a good mood.”
“Yeah.”
Silence descended between the two of them. After dinner and paying the bill, Qiao Jiuyin requested to walk around nearby.
Fang Mu agreed and accompanied her for a walk.
When they reached the entrance of Binjiang University, Fang Mu suddenly said, “Is that Lin Wanwan?”
