Chapter 383 She's truly given up this time.
It's no longer surprising that Fu Siyan can cook.
During the time when Shen Qingshu was seriously ill, Fu Siyan's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.
At first, he cooked porridge, then he made some simple stir-fries, and now he can cook all kinds of noodles and other home-style dishes with ease.
At that time, they were all afraid that they would not be able to wait for the bone marrow. Although they never gave up, they treated every day as if it were their last.
Fu Siyan thought he had to do more to give the family of four more memories.
It is fortunate that Shen Qingshu has survived.
Those days of battling death were bleak and filled with despair; even now, recalling them still brings a dull ache to my heart.
...
In the kitchen, Fu Siyan stared at the boiling water in the pot, his thoughts drifting back.
Remove the noodles and put them into the pot.
As Shen Qingshu came downstairs, Fu Siyan was just coming out carrying freshly cooked noodles.
Clear broth egg noodles, with added greens and scallion oil, are simple yet incredibly appetizing.
Shen Qingshu sat down at the dining table.
"You eat first." Fu Siyan placed the noodles in front of her.
Shen Qingshu smiled gently, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Making a bowl of noodles is hard work?" Fu Siyan looked at her, raising an eyebrow slightly. "When did I become so weak in your eyes?"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
I always felt that what he said had a hidden meaning.
"You should eat quickly too." Shen Qingshu glanced at him. "After you eat, take a walk to aid digestion and get some rest."
Fu Siyan smiled and turned to walk into the kitchen.
He brought out his bowl of noodles and sat down opposite Shen Qingshu.
The two ate their noodles with their heads down, behaving politely, and neither of them spoke.
After finishing his noodles, Fu Siyan took the bowl to the kitchen, and Aunt Yun would take care of the rest.
He took Shen Qingshu's hand and led her for a walk in the back garden to aid digestion.
The koi carp in the pond swam around, each one exceptionally plump and delicious.
The two walked around the fishpond twice before sitting down in a rattan chair.
The night was hazy, and cicadas were chirping.
The moonlight shone on the two of them. The woman was held in the man's arms, their hands clasped together, their fingers intertwined.
Shen Qingshu's phone vibrated.
It was Qi Mingxuan calling.
She paused for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
"Are you with Fu Siyan now?"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
"If you're together, then put it on speakerphone so I don't have to call you one by one."
Shen Qingshu was somewhat amused and exasperated. She pressed the speakerphone button and said, "Alright, now President Qi can speak."
"I've made things clear with Han Mingyu," Qi Mingxuan's voice came through the phone. "Qi Yue is his son. He'll pick Qi Yue up tomorrow for a paternity test."
Shen Qingshu was surprised, "Qi Yue is Han Mingyu's? You, what's going on between you two?"
“I stole his sperm, and no one except Qi Sinian knew about it.”
Shen Qingshu: "..."
It's shocking, but if it's Qi Mingxuan... then it doesn't seem so shocking.
Qi Mingxuan's personality, characterized by her strong sense of love and hate, certainly allows her to do such a thing.
"I called you because I hope you can help me talk to Qi Yue. He will definitely be living with Han Mingyu until he comes of age. I will still entrust Ronghao Group to Fu Siyan, just like in my will, and hand it over to Qi Yue after he comes of age."
Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan exchanged a glance.
Qi Mingxuan's words sound like she's making her final arrangements.
Shen Qingshu asked, "So what are your plans for the future?"
"Me!" Qi Mingxuan sighed, "I want to do what I truly love. Don't worry, I won't do anything rash again. I can travel around for a while to clear my head, and I'll come back to see Qi Yue every now and then."
This is actually quite good.
Qi Mingxuan has been scheming and fighting all these years. If it weren't for Qi Yue, she probably wouldn't have been able to persevere.
“It’s good to go for a walk to clear your head,” Shen Qingshu said. “But you should stay in touch and avoid going to dangerous places.”
Qi Mingxuan laughed, "I know, so to please me, you should persuade your man to help me manage Ronghao Group so I can have a good time without any worries!"
Before Shen Qingshu could respond, Fu Siyan spoke first: "Qi Mingxuan, when you were unconscious, Qi Yue had no one to rely on, so A-Shu and I accepted your arrangement. But now that Qi Yue's father is Han Mingyu, if you are tired and don't want to manage Ronghao Group anymore, then ask Han Mingyu for help. I have a wife and children now, so it's not appropriate for me."
Qi Mingxuan fell silent.
“President Qi, I think Fu Siyan makes a good point,” Shen Qingshu said. “Since Han Mingyu is Qi Yue’s biological father, it would be more legitimate for him to take over Ronghao Group than for Fu Siyan.”
"It's impossible between us." Qi Mingxuan's voice was firm. "Qi Yue is his son, and as a father, he has an obligation to take care of him. But what right do I have to ask him to take over Ronghao Group?"
Fu Siyan said, "Ronghao Group will eventually belong to Qi Yue anyway, so it's reasonable for a father to temporarily manage it for Qi Yue until he comes of age."
Qi Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, "...Fu Siyan, don't forget that I'm your wife's savior. What's wrong with you helping my son manage the company? Maybe my son will marry your daughter in the future! If you, as the father-in-law, personally protect the empire for your son-in-law, won't your daughter be the one who benefits in the end?"
Fu Siyan frowned. "She won't get married."
"Hey, you're such a doting father!" Qi Mingxuan teased him, "Our Qi Yue is so handsome, what girl wouldn't like him? And you know what, I think we should arrange a marriage between our children! That way you'll have a legitimate reason to help me manage Ronghao Group!"
Fu Siyan gritted his teeth, practically squeezing out the words: "You're dreaming!"
"You're getting anxious? That's no use. You have no say in your own family right now!"
Fu Siyan: "..."
"Shen Qingshu, how about we get married?" Qi Mingxuan turned her attention to Shen Qingshu. "Look at my Qi Yue, he's smart and handsome, and the Han and Qi families are both well-established. Your daughter won't be at a disadvantage marrying my Qi Yue!"
Shen Qingshu was both amused and exasperated. "President Qi, I don't want to be a mother who arranges marriages. The children are still young, and we should let fate take its course."
Qi Mingxuan sighed, "Alright, let's become sworn sisters! That way you'll be my sister, and Fu Siyan will be my brother-in-law. It'll be perfectly legitimate for a brother-in-law to help his sister-in-law."
Fu Siyan raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, giving Chen Qingshu a meaningful look.
Calm and clear.
Qi Mingxuan is now determined to entrust Ronghao Group to Fu Siyan, firstly because she really values Fu Siyan's abilities, and secondly because she really doesn't want to trouble Han Mingyu at all.
It seems that Qi Mingxuan has truly given up this time.
However, since Han Mingyu is Qi Yue's biological father, Ronghao Group is indeed no longer suitable for Fu Siyan to manage.
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and said, "President Qi, if you really have no intention of considering Han Mingyu at all, then I can recommend someone to you."
Who is it?
Shen Qingshu: "Seventh Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Siyan's brow twitched.
