Chapter 85 Extra 3: Raising a Wife from a Young Age: "I'll buy you a hundred dolls, and you'll come with me."

Fu Yanli showed a very difficult temperament from a very young age.

He likes order and cleanliness, and he needs milk at a fixed temperature. He won't drink it if it's too hot or too cold. His mouth is like a thermometer, and he can accurately taste the temperature difference. The nanny who takes care of him must change his clothes, take a bath, and disinfect every day, otherwise he will refuse to cooperate.

Of course, this also applies to Shen Lingyi and Fu Shizhang.

Even the first words he learned to say were: "Go wash your hands."

That was when Fu Shizhang still possessed a deep fatherly love. After a long day at work, he would come home exhausted, only to see his beautiful wife and his exquisitely handsome but indifferent son. His fatigue would instantly lessen. Just as he was about to reach out and hug his son, his son refused, pointing to the bathroom and telling him to go wash his hands.

Fu Shizhang's fatherly love was shattered.

As he grew up, he became even more of a tormentor. Shen Lingyi often thought of giving her son away, but her best friend always politely refused.

After all, Fu Yanli's difficult nature was well-known in the upper circles of S City.

For example, when business partners visited the Fu family, they brought their children to play with the young master Fu in order to strengthen their relationship. However, after only a few minutes, their own children were so disheartened that they cried and said they were a useless little brat, unworthy of being human, and wanted to live in a garbage dump.

This left Fu Shizhang and Shen Lingyi extremely embarrassed, and they could only offer various apologies.

However, Fu Yanli also possesses extremely high intelligence and talent. He began taking elite courses at the age of three and passed them all with full marks.

The couple, unable to get involved in their son's education, discussed having another child on a boring night.

Maybe I can have a beautiful and well-behaved daughter.

But the Fu family's genes are very strange; they have had only one son per generation for several generations. The couple tried for almost two years, but they still couldn't succeed.

When Fu Yanli was five years old, Shen Lingyi suddenly had a whimsical idea: she wanted to visit the orphanage she had been sponsoring to see if she could adopt a little girl.

Because they could not find any joy in raising children with Fu Yanli.

However, adopting a child also requires Fu Yanli's consent, so Shen Lingyi took him to Xihe Welfare Home.

The director of this welfare home is a woman surnamed Jiang. She is very outstanding and was originally a mid-level employee of the Fu family.

After losing her daughter and husband in an accident, she was depressed and even wanted to quit her job.

After learning about her situation, Fu Shizhang recommended her for a position here. Several years later, she gradually overcame her heartbreak and began to love the children here as if they were her own. After the previous director retired, she took over the position of director.

Jiang Ling warmly welcomed Shen Lingyi and Fu Yanli, and took Shen Lingyi on a tour of the welfare home’s canteen, classrooms and dormitories. The children here were very clean, and although their clothes were cheap, they were all very clean and there were no replacements.

Upon seeing Shen Lingyi, their eyes were filled with curiosity, and some clever ones guessed that this young and beautiful wealthy woman was probably there to adopt a child, so they took turns showing their obedient and cute side.

Some people even wanted to play with Fu Yanli, but after seeing his icy face, they were too scared to get close.

Fu Yanli frowned slightly, as he had not yet seen any family members he wanted to accept.

Moreover, some of the naughty children were wearing loose clothes because of their previous play, and there was still some black mud between their fingers, which Fu Yanli was beginning to find unbearable.

Shen Lingyi knew her son was on the verge of exploding. Just as she was about to tell him to go back to the car, Fu Yanli spoke first: "Mom, I'll wait for you in the car."

“Okay,” Shen Lingyi replied.

Fu Yanli walked out without looking to the side. He had a good memory and knew where the car was parked. But when he passed under a lush tree, Fu Yanli suddenly stopped because he saw a child.

The child was wearing light yellow overalls and a white shirt. She had a small face with large, delicate features, looking as pretty as a porcelain doll. Her eyes, in particular, were as innocent and clear as a deer's.

He had scraped his knee, which was bleeding, and was sitting on a small chair wiping away tears.

Fu Yanli, who has always been arrogant, was not interested in human cubs and even found them noisy, but his gaze was drawn to the silently crying child, and he walked over unconsciously.

"Kid, what's wrong?" Fu Yanli asked.

Jiang Shunian looked up blankly and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him. He spoke in a soft, sweet voice, his words still a little unclear because he had just learned to speak: "Baby, the show got stolen..."

The conditions at the orphanage are quite good; most children have their own favorite toys, but there are always some naughty children who snatch other children's toys.

Jiang Shunian has a beloved little lion doll, which is very majestic. He likes it very much and hugs it to sleep every night.

But Hao Hao said he wanted his doll and snatched it away. He chased after him with his short legs, but he accidentally fell down. His knee hurt a lot. Hao Hao had already disappeared and he couldn't catch up.

Fu Yanli found it hard to describe the feeling at that moment. It was as if a traveler hiking in the desert had suddenly seen an oasis and felt a sense of belonging.

Every cell in his body was telling him that he liked the cub and wanted to take it home and raise it.

Fu Yanli, who was extremely proactive, said directly: "I'll buy you a hundred dolls, and you'll come with me."

Jiang Shunian looked at him blankly, but his eyes lit up when he heard that the older boy was willing to buy him a hundred little lions. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

Fu Yanli then picked up Jiang Shunian, carefully avoiding his injured knee, not caring at all that the other man was covered in dirt.

Jiang Shunian was obediently held by his brother, his two lotus root-like little arms hanging around his neck. Fu Yanli could see his long, beautiful eyelashes when he looked down, and his pink little mouth was glistening with moisture. The more he looked, the cuter he became.

"What's your name?" Fu Yanli asked.

“My name is Niannian,” Jiang Shunian replied obediently.

He was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage shortly after birth, without any identification information. After being found by the headmistress, he was named Jiang Shunian, and his nickname was Niannian.

Fu Yanli didn't know which word it was, but he called out a few times, and the beautiful and adorable cub in his arms responded to each call.

"Year after year".

"Um!"

"Year after year".

"You'll be here every year!"

Five-year-old Fu Yanli is over 115 centimeters tall and can easily carry a little dumpling. He found his car, and the driver, seeing him from afar, immediately opened the door. When he saw that the young master was carrying an incredibly beautiful child, he was very puzzled. When did the young master start to take the initiative to carry other people? And this child is obviously from an orphanage. Is it okay to just carry him out like this?

However, the driver, who had also been punished by Fu Yanli, didn't say a word. After seeing the young master get into the car with the child, he quietly closed the car door and wisely didn't get in after him.

They were driving a nanny van today, which had a first-aid kit. Fu Yanli skillfully found and opened it, first disinfecting Jiang Shunian's knee, and then carefully bandaging it.

His movements were skillful and precise, leaving little Jiang Shunian stunned. He exclaimed in admiration, "Brother is so amazing!"

Fu Yanli was secretly pleased, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent: "It's alright."

Afterwards, Fu Yanli used disinfectant wipes to clean Jiang Shunian's body, but his overalls were dirty and needed to be changed.

Fu Yanli then sent a message to Shen Lingyi, urging her to come back quickly.

Shen Lingyi rolled her eyes after seeing the message. What's wrong with this little devil now?

However, she was complaining too soon. After opening the car door and meeting the gaze of a beautiful cub, she couldn't help but let out a sharp screech.

Where did she steal this child from?!

Because Jiang Shunian was so handsome and well-behaved, she didn't look like an orphan at all. Shen Lingyi thought that Fu Yanli had already learned the domineering CEO trick of kidnapping people at such a young age, and immediately asked, "Yanli, where did you take this child from? Hurry up and return him to his parents!"

I just hope the child's parents won't call the police; the Fu family can't afford to lose face like that!

Fu Yanli calmly replied, "He is from Xihe Welfare Home, he is an orphan, and I want to raise him. It doesn't matter if you disagree, I am already five years old and can live on my own."

He has already calculated that he currently has eight-figure assets and can earn even more money in the future, which will be more than enough to support him year after year.

Shen Lingyi was even more shocked. Was this still her proud and noble son, Wuchen? Could it be that his soul had been possessed?

Shen Lingyi subconsciously looked at Jiang Shunian, wanting to see what kind of magic this child possessed that made his son willingly "descend to the mortal world".

Jiang Shunian was being looked at by this pretty aunt, and she hid behind Fu Yanli in fear. Fu Yanli frowned disapprovingly and said, "Mom, that's impolite."

"I was just too curious." Shen Lingyi raised her hands in surrender. "Are you sure you want to raise this child? He's not a kitten; raising him might not be so easy."

She had already seen Jiang Shunian's face clearly. This little guy was really cute. She didn't know if he was a boy or a girl. No wonder her son liked him, and she liked him too.

She didn't mind raising the child, but she worried that Fu Yanli's interest was just a passing fancy, or that he might change his mind after a while, which would be very harmful to the child.

Fu Yanli nodded solemnly: "I will raise him."

“Okay, you always keep your word. If this child is willing to go with you, Mom will go with the director to complete the adoption procedures.”

Fu Yanli breathed a sigh of relief: "He's willing."

Jiang Shunian peeked out from behind Fu Yanli to look at Shen Lingyi, nodding earnestly to show that she was willing to go with the older brother.

Shen Lingyi's heart was instantly struck; she's so cute! You can tell at a glance that she has a great personality.

I've got one!

If Fu Yanli changes his mind in the future, then kick him out and live on your own; she will support him.

When Jiang Ling learned that Shen Lingyi planned to adopt Jiang Shunian, she was surprised and happy for him. She immediately gave Shen Lingyi his information and introduced him: "Shunian is one year and three months old this year. He's a boy and can already talk. He has a very well-behaved personality and is an angel baby. You've seen his appearance; he's very handsome. To be honest, many families want to adopt him, but with his looks, I'm not comfortable handing him over to just anyone. So I need to observe those families for a long time and also want to raise him a little older before adopting him. However, if it's you and President Fu, there won't be such a long observation period. I trust you."

Jiang Ling had a very good impression of Fu Shizhang when she worked at Fu's company. She was just a junior manager, but he made very good arrangements for her.

Moreover, the Fu family has been supporting this welfare home for many years, but they never publicize it in newspapers or the media. The family's upbringing and gentleness are ingrained in their bones. It is his blessing to be adopted by them every year.

Shen Lingyi looked at Jiang Shunian's baby photos and liked them more and more. Jiang Ling prepared all the forms needed for adoption and told Shen Lingyi that according to national regulations, they could try raising the child for a period of time. When they decided to adopt, she would assist them in registering with the civil affairs department.

In other words, Shen Lingyi can bring Jiang Shunian home today.

Shen Lingyi was overjoyed. She returned to the car and gave Jiang Shunian her gentlest smile: "Niannian, I'm your mother. Can I hug you?"

Jiang Shunian had never met such a gentle and beautiful woman before. He wanted to get closer and took a few steps toward Shen Lingyi, but he was intercepted by Fu Yanli after only two steps. Fu Yanli pulled him into his arms and said warily, "He is mine."

Shen Lingyi: "..." How could she forget that this child is extremely possessive?

She'll probably only be able to hold Niannian when Fu Yanli is at school.

Jiang Shunian didn't cry or struggle when Fu Yanli held her. She stayed obediently in his arms and softly called him "brother".

"Good girl, Niannian." Fu Yanli hugged her even tighter and told the driver to go to the mall. He wanted to keep his promise and buy Niannian a hundred dolls, as well as a few clothes for her to wear temporarily, and have the rest custom-made.

Because Jiang Shunian's leg was injured, Fu Yanli carried her the entire time they shopped at the mall.

Jiang Shunian wasn't heavy, only 20 jin (10 kg), and was rather thin. Fu Yanli carried him easily, feeling that it wasn't even as intense as his usual training.

After buying Jiang Shunian an adorable little lion plush toy, Jiang Shunian hugged the toy and smiled sweetly, saying to Fu Yanli in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you, brother."

Afterwards, Fu Yanli personally selected clothes for Jiang Shunian, buying more than twenty sets of various styles, spending nearly one million yuan without batting an eye, all paid for by himself.

Shen Lingyi followed behind, feeling no sense of participation whatsoever.

Afterwards, Fu Yanli bought him brand new daily necessities. When he returned home, these had already been delivered to the Fu family villa. Butler Shen Boheng had already started having the servants clean and disinfect the clothes, toys and daily necessities, in order to get the young master Niannian using them as soon as possible.

There are many rooms in the villa. Shen Boheng asked Shen Lingyi which room she wanted to prepare for Jiang Shunian. Fu Yanli, who had sharp ears, heard this and said directly, "The one next to mine. But I'll add a pillow to my bed. Nian Nian will definitely be scared to sleep alone for a while. She can sleep with me for now."

Shen Lingyi was numb, watching helplessly as her son carried Jiang Shunian back to his room and slammed the door shut without any mercy.

So, is it really true that nobody wants her son? She'll give him away for free, or sell him on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app), and she'll even offer home delivery.

Jiang Shunian was so cute as a cub! I picked him up and ran away!
