Chapter 26 Sharing a Bed "Can Daddy sleep with me...?"

Jiang Shunian has gradually realized that Fu Yanli is not as upright and reliable as he appears.

He is cunning and knows how to seize every opportunity.

After all, he secured the position of president of the Fu Group at such a young age, so he must not be a simple-minded person.

But surprisingly, he felt no aversion to such a confession.

Ultimately, it was because the Fu family left such a good impression on him; their care and acceptance made Jiang Shunian unconsciously want to get closer to them.

Jiang Shunian could also sense the sincerity and seriousness in Fu Yanli's words.

He admitted that he also had feelings for Fu Yanli, but whether or not they should be together still needed time to figure things out.

Moreover, the Qin family issue has not yet been resolved.

Fu Yanli didn't expect Jiang Shunian to accept immediately. He changed the subject: "Shunian, I know it's a bit too early to ask you this question now, and you may not trust me enough, but I really want to know what the real reason is for your fear of the Qin family?"

Fu Yanli knew he shouldn't ask rashly, but Jiang Shunian, whose brows were always shrouded in melancholy and fear, really broke his heart.

He really wanted to share the burden with him, even if it was just as a friend.

Jiang Shunian's expression suddenly froze.

So Fu Yanli had already figured it out?

He had been considering whether or not to tell Fu Yanli the truth, and he was inclined to do so.

After all, Qin Lang is the protagonist of the world, and they have now officially declared war on the Qin family. If Fu Yanli can learn the truth sooner, he can make more adequate preparations.

The Fu family accepted even the unbelievable fact that he could have children, let alone being reborn.

Therefore, Jiang Shunian sat down on the sofa, his arms wrapped around his knees, his head lowered, avoiding looking at Fu Yanli, and said, "Mr. Fu, you may find this absurd, but everything I'm saying is true. This world is a book, an old-fashioned BL novel with a sadomasochistic twist. Nuonuo is the protagonist, the bottom, and Qin Lang is the protagonist, the top. He will torture Nuonuo severely in the future, ruining her college entrance exam, causing her to have a car accident that breaks her leg, having her face slashed by Qin Lang's suitors, and even being forced to get pregnant with his child. At that time, Nuonuo will weigh less than 100 pounds, as thin as a wisp of smoke..."

These things are something Jiang Shunian can never let go of; every time he thinks about them, his heart aches.

Why did Nuonuo, whom he cherished and protected, have to go through such a cruel thing?

Jiang Shunian didn't look up, so she naturally couldn't see the anger and heartache in Fu Yanli's eyes.

No wonder Jiang Shunian always seemed preoccupied, and no wonder he was so wary of Qin Lang.

Fu Yanli's hands clenched tightly, almost unable to control his rage, wanting to humanely destroy Qin Lang, that little beast, right now.

He has been practicing spoken language with Nuonuo these days. Listening to the little guy's increasingly fluent and complex spoken expressions, he knows what a smart and outstanding child he is.

Moreover, Nuonuo was very close to him, calling him "Big Dad" every time, which always touched his heart.

Even he was furious upon hearing about Nuonuo's experiences, let alone Jiang Shunian, who had given birth to Nuonuo himself.

He looked at Jiang Shunian with heartache, and seeing the young man's trembling body, he almost used all his self-control to resist reaching out and pulling him into his arms.

Jiang Shunian suppressed his emotions and tried to speak calmly: "I should be considered reborn, because when Nuonuo was ten years old, I died in a car accident on my way home from get off work. After that, as a soul, I learned the truth about this world. I don't know why I was reborn this year. Perhaps some things in the dark felt that it was too cruel to Nuonuo and wanted me to rewrite Nuonuo's fate."

Fearing the atmosphere would be too heavy and oppressive and upset Fu Yanli, he changed to a lighter tone, "After I was reborn, I realized that I couldn't protect Nuonuo on my own. I wanted to find Nuonuo's other father, which is you. So I made the decision to bring Nuonuo back here. And I was really lucky; you found her very quickly. Mr. Fu, you have no idea how grateful I am that you are Nuonuo's family."

After he finished speaking, he finally felt an unprecedented sense of relief. He looked up to see Fu Yanli's reaction, but was stunned when he saw Fu Yanli's reddened eyes.

Fu Yanli was angry, heartbroken, and regretful, but he did not question anything.

This was undoubtedly a great comfort to Jiang Shunian.

“It’s my incompetence.” Fu Yanli’s voice was slightly hoarse, full of self-blame. “I didn’t find you in my previous life, did I? That’s why you suffered misfortune and why Nuonuo had no one to rely on.”

As he finished speaking, a tear slid down Fu Yanli's cheek.

Jiang Shunian panicked and quickly grabbed a few tissues to hand to Fu Yanli, but Fu Yanli grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.

Jiang Shunian was caught off guard, but after being hugged, she did not struggle and instead obediently lay on Fu Yanli's body.

The man's body was warm, and his heart was beating slightly faster, indicating that he was in a state of heightened emotion.

There was no intimacy in this embrace. Jiang Shunian sensed Fu Yanli's emotions and wanted to calm him down as soon as possible.

The two remained silent, but Jiang Shunian felt increasingly awkward.

It's a bit inappropriate to say this, but Jiang Shunian's face was pressed against Fu Yanli's chest. The well-developed muscles were bulging and soft, and the touch was quite nice...

That chest looks huge from working out.

He felt a little breathless.

Just as he was about to step back a little, Fu Yanli thought he was trying to run away and instinctively hugged him tighter.

Jiang Shunian could only give up struggling and continue to bury her face in his chest, blushing.

“Shu Nian, I’ve been thinking about it. Since you can be reborn and change Nuonuo’s current situation, you can definitely change her future.” Fu Yanli analyzed after calming down. “The Qin family isn’t invincible, but I do need to be careful. Also, I’m giving you a modified car with a driver and bodyguards. From now on, wherever you go, take them with you. Don’t cross the street by yourself, okay?”

He was terrified of the previous life Jiang Shunian described; he couldn't even imagine how much pain Jiang Shunian must have felt when he died in the car accident.

Jiang Shunian nodded sullenly.

As for how to deal with the Qin family, Fu Yanli already had many ideas, but Jiang Shunian didn't understand them, so he didn't need to tell him them one by one.

In short, he will do everything in his power to protect Shu Nian and Nuo Nuo.

As Fu Yanli's emotions gradually calmed down, he noticed the young man's bright red ears and noticeably labored breathing.

"Sorry." Fu Yanli quickly let go of the person.

Jiang Shunian was finally able to breathe freely.

“Mr. Fu, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” Jiang Shunian sat back in his original seat and analyzed, “The plot will not begin for another thirteen years, so there is a lot of room for manipulation. Qin Lang is only a four-year-old child now, which is much easier to deal with than thirteen years from now.”

"I know."

After Jiang Shunian told Fu Yanli her biggest secret, she relaxed and seemed to have a closer connection with Fu Yanli.

Moreover, he trusted Fu Yanli completely and believed that he could definitely change Nuonuo's fate.

"Can I go see Nuonuo?" Fu Yanli wanted to see Nuonuo now.

“Of course, Nuonuo sleeps very well and won’t wake up easily,” Jiang Shunian said.

So the two of them tiptoed back to the bedroom.

The smart light strip installed under the bed emits a soft, warm yellow light, just enough to clearly see Nuonuo's angelic sleeping face.

The little one has fair and rosy skin, long eyelashes, and a cute little belly that bounces up and down.

It's unimaginable that he would encounter a series of nightmarish torments thirteen years later.

Fu Yanli reached out and gently touched Nuonuo's soft little face, his eyes filled with deep heartache.

Perhaps sensing the presence of her two fathers, Nono, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up groggily.

He was such a good boy. When he saw both of his fathers, he immediately gave them a warm smile and said, "Daddy, Uncle!"

Seeing that Nuonuo was awake, Fu Yanli said apologetically, "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Nono rubbed her eyes, her beautiful dark golden eyes full of happiness: "I dreamt about Daddy and Uncle. We went to the stream to catch fish and caught so many. I even got hit by a fish's tail, but it didn't hurt."

The baby's sweet, childlike words melted the hearts of the two fathers; how could there be such an adorable baby?

Fu Yanli couldn't help but hug Nuonuo. So small, so cute, how could fate bear to torment him?

Nono was a little confused. Why did her uncle seem unhappy?

"Uncle, are you unhappy?" Nuonuo asked him with concern.

“There were some at first, but seeing Nuonuo made me happy.” Fu Yanli wished he could put all the good things in the world in front of Nuonuo. “Nuonuo, your father has wronged you too much before. Is there anything you want? As long as your father can do it, he will satisfy you.”

Nono thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to lack anything, because he felt that he was already the happiest child in the world.

But Dad really wanted to be needed, so Nono considerately chose the easiest option: "Can Dad sleep with me?"

He had seen it in cartoons, where other children slept between their parents.

It must feel incredibly safe! Nono wants to experience it too!

Jiang Shunian, caught off guard: "..."

Nono is such a good son to him.

Fu Yanli tried hard to suppress the urge to smile and asked casually, "Is this Nuonuo's biggest wish right now?"

Noticing that her father's mood had improved, Nono nodded earnestly: "Mm."

"Shu Nian," Fu Yanli continued, feigning difficulty, "this is Nuonuo's request."

Jiang Shunian really wanted to complain, but he could also sense Nuonuo's little longing. The little one's request... so he could only comply and agreed: "Okay, but there are no clean clothes for you here."

"I'll go upstairs to change right away, it'll be quick." Fu Yanli lowered his head and kissed Nuonuo's forehead, then gently put the little one down. "Nuonuo, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he left almost at lightning speed.

Nono rolled around happily on the bed. It was great! He could finally feel what it was like to sleep surrounded by his dad and his other dad!

Jiang Shunian had no choice but to let Nuonuo lie obediently on the bed while he went to remove his makeup and wash up.

He didn't shower first; he had just finished brushing his teeth when the doorbell rang.

Jiang Shunian walked over and opened the door. Fu Yanli had already changed into a dark blue bathrobe, and his hair was still a little damp, obviously he had taken a shower, but had not yet completely dried his hair.

"Is there such a rush? It's not like we won't open the door for him." Jiang Shunian finally muttered to himself.

Fu Yanli asked shrewdly, "Nuonuo isn't asleep yet, is she?"

Jiang Shunian found it funny, and also thought that this version of Fu Yanli was very vivid... and even a little cute.

"No, he's waiting for you. I don't know what kind of spell you cast on him."

Fu Yanli chuckled softly, wisely refraining from rebuttal, and went straight into the house.

Nuonuo was still awake when she saw Fu Yanli and called out to him with a smile, "Uncle!"

Just as Fu Yanli was about to go play with Nuonuo, Jiang Shunian grabbed him and pushed him toward the bathroom: "Go dry your hair."

Fu Yanli obediently allowed himself to be pushed away.

After drying his hair, Fu Yanli was allowed to go to bed. Jiang Shunian took a deep breath and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The bath was a bit unbearable. He recalled that night when they had taken a bath together. He had said he felt sticky and wanted to take a shower, so Fu Yanli held him. But as they were showering, things got...

Jiang Shunian crawled under the showerhead, letting the water wash away this romantic thought.

After taking a shower, Jiang Shunian's temperament became softer and gentler. Even without makeup, her features were exquisitely flawless, like pearls and jade under the warm light.

He wore an apricot-white bathrobe that was almost identical to Fu Yanli's, which accentuated his slender waist and attracted a lot of attention.

The bed was large enough to comfortably fit two adults and a child, but Fu Yanli's presence was so strong that it made Jiang Shunian's breathing become erratic.

Nuonuo, however, was completely oblivious to the strange behavior of the two adults. He patted the spot to his right and cheerfully exclaimed, "Daddy, come quick!"

He's starting to feel sleepy again.

Jiang Shunian had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into bed, lying down on his side next to Nuonuo.

Fu Yanli adopted the same posture.

Surrounded by the two adults, Nono felt an unparalleled sense of security and smiled happily: "Daddy, Uncle, I love you so much!"

"Daddy loves you too." Jiang Shunian's heart softened, and he reached out to pinch the boy's soft little face. "Alright, good boy, it's time for you to go to sleep."

Nono obediently closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Even after she fell asleep, the dimples on her face were still faintly visible.

Fu Yanli looked at Jiang Shunian with gentle eyes.

The truth he learned tonight was earth-shattering, and seeing Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo lying beside him at this moment was undoubtedly a comfort.

Fortunately, Jiang Shunian was reborn, which gave him the opportunity to find Jiang Shunian and Nuonuo.

Thinking of this, Fu Yanli opened his phone and transferred five million to Shen Boheng.

Shen Boheng immediately replied: Young Master, you are too kind. It is my duty. I wish you a pleasant evening.

Jiang Shunian also vaguely sensed Fu Yanli's feelings, and he said softly, "Don't feel too much pressure. I will protect Nuonuo with you."

He will work hard to make money and strive for a higher position, which might also be of help.

“Okay, I understand.” Fu Yanli did not take on everything because Jiang Shunian loved Nuonuo even more. They were fighting side by side, not someone who would put him in the position of the weak to protect together.

Seeing that Fu Yanli was still staring at him, Jiang Shunian held back for a moment and then said, "Mr. Fu, it's time to go to sleep."

"Goodnight, Shu Nian." Fu Yanli closed his eyes as instructed.

Jiang Shunian breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep as well.

Jiang Shunian thought it would be hard to fall asleep with someone else in the bed, but perhaps because she was tired and had experienced emotional ups and downs today, she fell asleep quickly and even felt a sense of security, just like Nuonuo.

Jiang Shunian didn't know whether Fu Yanli was asleep or not.

But Nono woke up early the next morning and scratched his head in confusion. Why was he sleeping at the foot of the bed? And why were his dad and dad hugging each other?
