Chapter 188 Nian Nian, I Love You
Qingning sat next to him and quietly gestured to Sheng's father a few times.
Dad, ask him quickly!
Upon receiving the signal, Sheng's father cleared his throat and tentatively began to speak.
"I've heard... that Madam Bai also has a daughter?"
Zhuang Linyue's smile faded slightly, but she still maintained her proper demeanor.
"That's right, I do have a daughter who was lost for more than ten years and was only found last month."
She paused for a moment, then regained her enthusiasm.
"I plan to hold a family reunion banquet for her in the capital on the 6th of next month, and I hope that Mr. Sheng and his wife can also attend."
"When the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to show you around the capital."
As she spoke, she looked at Sheng Weiwei, her tone friendly.
"However, it's getting a bit cold in the capital at this time of year, Miss Sheng. Are you afraid of the cold?"
Sheng Weiwei, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her eyelids, her tone so indifferent it could shatter ice.
"I'm very scared."
“I can’t survive in places that are too cold, so I didn’t want to go that far away.”
In one sentence, the conversation died instantly.
Enraged, Mr. Sheng kicked her under the table and hissed, "What are you saying!"
On the other side, Gu Xingnian froze completely.
She stared intently at Madam Bai, her mind buzzing.
It was her.
The woman who had previously expressed a desire to marry into the Fu family and give her daughter to Fu Beichen in the side hall of the Fu family's old residence was none other than Madam Bai!
The initial warmth and goodwill that had just arisen in my heart vanished instantly, sinking me to the bottom.
Just then, Bai Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, staring intently at Sheng Weiwei.
"I can settle down in Haicheng, as long as you like it."
This is practically a blatant confession.
Sheng Weiwei laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; it carried a hint of mockery.
"Mrs. Bai, you probably don't know yet, but I'm already eight weeks pregnant."
"Young Master Bai, do you want to become a father unexpectedly and become the laughing stock of the entire capital?"
These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.
Madam Bai's face turned deathly pale instantly, her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Sheng Weiwei didn't give her a chance to react and continued speaking.
"I don't like Young Master Bai, excuse me."
After saying that, she pushed back her chair and went straight upstairs.
"Weiwei!"
Aunt Sheng called after her, but she didn't even stop walking.
This meal was incredibly awkward.
However, Bai Yu's attitude was unusually firm. He said he didn't mind having a child and that he could accept any condition as long as Miss Sheng was willing.
Madam Bai's face turned green. Had her son gone mad? Or had he been bewitched?
Finally, Madam Bai and Bai Yu took their leave.
Following behind, Sheng's mother kept apologizing until her mouth was numb.
Bai Yu walked to the door and subconsciously turned around.
Just then, I saw a lonely, thin figure standing under the corridor light on the second floor.
Sheng Weiwei also saw him, but only gave him a cold glance before turning around and walking into the room.
Her world had no room for any other man but Zhan Xiao.
No sooner had Madam Bai left than Sheng's mother and father rushed into Sheng Weiwei's room.
She watched her daughter's back as she focused on drawing, and immediately launched into a tirade.
"That young master Bai is a handsome and talented man. Can't you be a little more gentle?"
Sheng Weiwei's paintbrush didn't stop, the paint spreading on the canvas. She didn't even look up, her voice indifferent.
"I have no plans to find a stepfather for my child."
Sheng's father followed him in and earnestly advised, "Daughter, there are still many days ahead of you. You're raising the child alone, so you need someone by your side to care for you."
"I think this young master Bai is truly remarkable. His family background and appearance are impeccable; isn't he exactly your type?"
Sheng Weiwei finally put down her paintbrush.
She turned around, looked at the two elders, and her expression couldn't be more serious.
"Old man, if you had known he was... incompetent, would you still have let me marry him?"
"..." Mr. Sheng choked up, unable to say anything.
This won't do!
Isn't that like living the life of a widow? This... is even worse than not having a man at all!
"Impossible, right?" Sheng's father still couldn't believe it, looking Bai Yu up and down in his imagination. "This doesn't look like him at all."
Sheng Weiwei said calmly, "He said it himself. That's why he wanted me and the child to marry him together, so that no one would know his secret."
Upon hearing this, Sheng's mother's anger instantly surged, and she roared.
"A pretty face but useless piece of trash! Absolutely not! He's probably just trying to scam us into marriage and taking our children; how insidious!"
The elderly couple exchanged a glance, then gave up on trying to persuade them and left, grumbling and cursing.
Bai Yu, who was far away in the car, suddenly sneezed loudly, unaware that he had brought this upon himself.
They're out of the running with the Sheng family!
At this moment, Gu Xingnian was in her room, talking on the phone with her master.
"You can try the Seven-Colored Fruit." The master's voice came through the receiver, tinged with seriousness. "It has a strong numbing effect, but you are pregnant now, so you must not try it lightly."
“I understand!” Gu Xingnian’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in surprise.
She carefully took out two bunches of seven-colored fruits from an exquisite wooden box.
The fruit is crystal clear and shimmering with color.
Those were the two bracelets she wore when she and Fu Beichen got married under the sacred tree.
She placed her fingertips on the fruit, gently rubbing them, her eyes filled with barely suppressed joy.
If this anesthetic can be developed, I will be the biggest beneficiary, and I will never have to endure the pain of not having anesthesia again.
Suddenly, her eyes darkened. She wondered if the grandfather Dr. Ling had mentioned was related to her past. If so, what about her parents...?
She dared not think any further.
I had just hung up the phone with my master when my phone screen lit up again.
It's Fu Beichen.
"Are you asleep?" His voice was deep and magnetic, traveling through the radio waves to reach her eardrums.
"not yet."
"I've come to see you, come out here."
Gu Xingnian walked to the balcony.
Downstairs, the familiar black sedan was parked quietly under the streetlights. A tall man leaned against the car door, holding a phone in one hand, his gaze fixed intently on her window.
"I can't sleep without you," he continued. "Come with me, okay?"
Gu Xingnian chuckled softly.
"I've never seen you suffer from insomnia in all these years."
He seemed a little unhappy, and his tone carried a hint of unreasonable domineering.
"From today onwards, I will never leave you again. I will sleep by your side every day until you get tired of it."
Her heart skipped a beat. "Who said I wanted to be with you?"
"Niannian, come downstairs, I really want to hug you." He coaxed gently.
The two of them spoke ordinary sweet nothings over the phone, yet they felt it was incredibly precious.
They had never talked on the phone for so long before.
So this is what it feels like to miss someone.
Behind the curtains in the next room, Mr. and Mrs. Sheng secretly leaned their heads together.
"This kid is coming here more and more often these days," Sheng's father said in a low voice. "Looks like we need to upgrade the home security system. The surveillance cameras are always malfunctioning, it's unacceptable."
Mrs. Sheng rolled her eyes at him.
"A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home; I bet she'll run away."
Mr. Sheng looked confident and said with an air of arrogance, "Impossible, she wouldn't dare."
The words had barely left his mouth.
With a click, the villa's gate slowly opened.
Gu Xingnian rushed out of the door.
Fu Beichen threw down his phone, strode over to her, pulled her into his arms, and immediately pressed his burning lips to hers.
That kiss was so passionate it could set the night ablaze.
"..." Mr. Sheng's face darkened instantly.
"You lost, hand in your homework." Mother Sheng said gleefully, pulling him away.
They kissed for a very long time, until Gu Xingnian was almost out of breath, before Fu Beichen finally released her, satisfied. He watched her return to her room and then drove away.
The night was deep. Ling Zhong sat in his office, staring at the wound on his hand, a sinister glint in his eyes.
Fu Beichen, it seems you have ulterior motives, so don't blame me for being ruthless.
Suddenly, he pressed his chest in pain, quickly took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer, poured out a pill and swallowed it raw, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
It's time. Once N's anesthetic is ready, he should close the net.
The Bai family, it's time to pay back the debts you owe.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Gu Xingnian went to the laboratory.
Not long after, Ling Zhong arrived, and the two immediately began testing the Seven-Colored Fruit.
"It's a success!" Gu Xingnian looked at the data on the analyzer and said to Ling Zhong with surprise, "This seven-colored fruit really can be used to extract anesthetic components. It can target specific physiques and is a completely natural anesthetic!"
Ling Chong was overjoyed, and a smile finally appeared on his tense face.
"That's great! Now the old man in the capital can have his surgery smoothly!"
He looked at Gu Xingnian with sincere eyes.
"Miss Gu, would you mind coming to the capital?"
Gu Xingnian thought for a moment, "Let me check the arrangements."
"Thanks."
In the afternoon, before five o'clock, Fu Beichen went downstairs and took Gu Xingnian away.
Does the Sheng family still want to send someone to intercept us today?
No way.
Following Lynch's prepared dating strategy, he first accompanied her to see a movie.
When they entered the popular movie theater, the handsome man and beautiful woman instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Holy crap! Are those President Fu and God N?"
"My goodness, the richest man actually came to the movies with his wife! Look at him, he has a milk tea in his left hand and popcorn in his right. He's so down-to-earth!"
"I'll take this dog food first! It's so sweet!"
A flurry of flashes and whispers made Gu Xingnian feel a little embarrassed by the stares.
He strode over, placed the warm ginger tea in her hands, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Don't you want to watch anymore? How about we go somewhere else?"
Gu Xingnian raised her eyes, her eyebrows curving upwards. "Of course I have to look."
He flashed a captivating smile, took her hand, and strode confidently toward the ticket gate.
They weren't very focused while watching the movie.
Fu Beichen gently embraced her with one hand, while his other hand intertwined his fingers with hers, the warmth of his palm providing a reassuring touch.
She leaned against him, sitting amidst the noisy crowd, feeling this most ordinary love, and couldn't help but smile.
He wanted to do all the things that ordinary couples do with her.
Before long, the two became a trending topic on social media, with eye-catching and arrogant headlines.
The richest man descended to earth and shared the moon with a god.
After watching the movie, Fu Beichen took her to the Star Language Restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, the two took a walk in the back garden.
The garden was beautifully designed, with a moon-shaped fountain pool that shimmered in the sunlight, star-shaped streetlights, twinkling lights among the flowers, and soft, romantic music playing in the air…
The night breeze was slightly chilly. He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then lifted her onto the swing, using his tall frame to shield her from the cold wind as they swayed gently.
The fragrance of lilies wafted through the air, intoxicatingly sweet.
"Niannian." His deep voice sounded above her head, so gentle it could melt your heart. "Thank you for still being willing to stay by my side."
She looked up and met his deep eyes. "Fu Beichen, it's so good that you're alive."
"I never knew I would fall so completely in love." He looked at her, his eyes filled with an intense and unwavering affection.
"Niannian, I love you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
They had kissed many times, but this time, it was a true two-way journey.
Having gone through life and death together, they built an unbreakable fortress between them.
After a long while, Fu Beichen stepped back slightly, his forehead pressed against hers, his voice terribly hoarse.
"Niannian, I want... you."
"Come home with me, okay?"
Tonight, he didn't want to let her go anymore.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.
