Chapter 872: Bitter Iron Egg and Quiet Fang
Fang Mu was ruthless enough, but even he had lost to this person.
Every time Fang Yukang faced Fang Yusheng, he would feel nervous.
Fang Yusheng left the restaurant and did not see Qiao Jiusheng and the rest. He guessed that they must have gotten into the car and walked straight to the car.
Qiao Jiusheng and the rest were indeed in the car. Fang Yusheng got into the car and was in no hurry to drive. He took his phone and opened WeChat to transfer the money to Fang Yukang.
As Fang Yusheng transferred the money to Fang Yukang, he said to Qiao Jiusheng, “I met Yukang just now. He helped me pay for my meal.”
Qiao Jiusheng did not have a good impression of Fang Yukang.
Actually, other than Fang Pingjun, she did not like the other three members of Fang Pingjun’s family.
Auntie Liu Yu looked gentle and did not talk much, but she was a treacherous woman. All these years, she had used the Fang family’s money to help a group of people who did not want to improve.
Qiao Jiusheng did not like either of her children.
Fang Yupei’s thoughts were not right. The matter of Fang Yuqing’s pregnancy a few years ago was deliberately spread by Fang Yupei. Fang Yukang was a playboy and had caused a lot of trouble. Qiao Jiusheng did not interact much with him, but every time she heard rumors about him, it was not good.
Uncle Fang Pingjun was a good person, but unfortunately, his two children were useless.
“Return the money to him.”
Although it was not a lot of money, it was still a favor. Qiao Jiusheng was most afraid of owing favors.
Fang Yusheng smiled and said, “I’ve already transferred the money to him.”
“Alright.”
They returned home and gave the packed food to Aunt Jin. The little fellows wanted to watch television. Qiao Jiusheng had been running around outside for the entire day and was a little tired. She took a bath, and Fang Yusheng suggested ma.s.saging her back and legs.
Qiao Jiusheng liked how considerate Fang Yusheng was.
After she took a shower, she lay flat on the bed in a light blue nightgown.
Fang Yusheng had also taken a shower. He was not wearing a s.h.i.+rt and was only wearing a pair of loose silk pants.
He sat by the bed and ma.s.saged Qiao Jiusheng. As he ma.s.saged her, his fingers became disobedient. Qiao Jiusheng opened her eyes and smiled at the man’s hand on her chest.
“My back and feet hurt. I’m not tired anywhere else.” In other words, she was reminding Fang Yusheng that he had pressed the wrong place.
Fang Yusheng looked innocent.
“The hand is disobedient.” He patted his hand pretentiously and said, “Look, I hit it, but it still won’t go back.”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “You’re so indecent.”
Fang Yusheng chuckled. “It’s boring for men to be too serious, right?” His laughter was like a feather that gently brushed past Qiao Jiusheng’s most sensitive skin, causing her to tremble.
She was already five months pregnant. Qiao Jiusheng’s interest was piqued by Fang Yusheng’s laughter, so the two of them hid in the room shamelessly.
Fang Zikai waited in his room, but Fang Yusheng did not come to scrub his back. “What is Dad doing?” Fang Zikai sat in the bathtub for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to shout outside the bathroom, “Brother, can you help me wash my back?”
Fang Zicheng was watching a show on his iPad. When he heard this, he walked into the bathroom reluctantly and wiped Fang Zikai’s back.
Fang Zikai put on his clothes.
The two brothers lay on their respective beds. Fang Zikai could not fall asleep no matter what.
“What are Mom and Dad doing?”
Fang Zicheng shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“I can’t sleep without a bedtime story.” Fang Zikai was in so much pain. He had rolled around on the bed many times. The more he rolled, the more awake he became. How could he be sleepy?
Fang Zicheng lay quietly on the bed. He was counting sheep, hoping to fall asleep quickly.
Fang Zikai suddenly said, “Brother, why don’t you tell me a story?”
There was silence in the room for a long time.
Just as Fang Zikai thought that Fang Zicheng had fallen asleep, Fang Zicheng finally told a story.
He said, “Let me tell you the story of the pea princess.”
“Okay.”
Fang Zicheng said slowly in his emotionless voice, “In the past, there was a prince who wanted to find a princess to marry, but she had to be a real princess. He walked all over the world and wanted to find such a princess. However, no matter where he went, he always encountered some obstacles. There were many princesses, but he couldn’t tell if they were real princesses. There was always something wrong with them.”
“He could only go home. One day, there was a strong wind and rain outside the house. Someone knocked on the door. When the door opened, there was a person calling herself a princess standing outside…”
Fang Zicheng did not make Fang Zikai sleep but he fell asleep himself.
Fang Zikai still could not fall asleep. Hearing his brother’s soft breathing, he could only count sheep over and over again.
The next morning, Fang Yusheng opened the door and saw the little boy outside.
Fang Zikai carried a small school bag and was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and pants. He looked like he was about to go to school.
“Why are you standing here?” Fang Yusheng quickly closed the door, afraid that he would wake Qiao Jiusheng up.
Fang Zikai stared at Fang Yusheng bitterly and asked him angrily, “What were you doing last night?”
Fang Yusheng looked a little embarra.s.sed.
Could it be that they heard him because he was too loud last night?
That shouldn’t be the case. He was so gentle last night, and Ah Sheng’s voice wasn’t loud…
Fang Zikai added, “You didn’t come to wipe my back last night, nor did you tell me a bedtime story. Where did you guys go! I didn’t sleep well last night!”
Fang Zikai touched his eyes and accused Fang Yusheng. “Look, there are dark circles under my eyes.”
