Chapter 244 Ah Shu, are you concerned about me?
"dad……"
"Little Anning!"
Xiao Nian'an walked over and took her sister's hand.
"Xiao Nian'an, do you think Daddy is sick?"
Xiao Nian'an didn't look at Fu Siyan, but used her small body to block Xiao Anning's view.
"Little Anning, I have a new toy that's really fun. Shall I take you to see it?"
"A new toy?" Little Anning's eyes lit up, her attention immediately drawn to the toy. "I want to see it! I want to see it!"
Xiao Nian'an led her into the house.
As night fell, the man's coughing gradually subsided.
The handkerchief in her hand was stained with blood.
Fu Siyan threw the handkerchief into the trash can next to him, turned around and went into the house.
He walked briskly, went straight back to the bedroom, and went into the bathroom.
Rinse your mouth with the tap on the sink.
The water gradually changed from bright red to pale pink, the bloody taste in his mouth gradually faded, and the man's rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
The rushing water stopped.
The man looked up at himself in the mirror.
His face was pale, and there were faint dark circles around his eyes.
He has lost a lot of weight recently, which makes his features appear more defined and hard.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
It was Song Lanyin calling.
Fu Siyan swiped to answer the call, and Song Lanyin's nonchalant voice came through the phone.
"My charm is as strong as ever. I just stepped into the bar and Zhou Ergou came running right there! Tsk tsk tsk, Fu Siyan, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be cheating on you tonight!"
Fu Siyan was used to her roguish manner, but the methods of the person behind Zhou Baiting were not to be underestimated. He still reminded her, "Be careful in everything, and retreat immediately if you sense anything is wrong."
"You're still worried about me!" Song Lanyin smiled casually. "Wait for my good news. You can stay home and be a good stay-at-home dad these next few days! Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you. My people called me this afternoon and said that your ex-wife went to see a psychologist the day before yesterday."
Fu Siyan was taken aback.
"I don't know the specifics. If you want more details, I'll have them check again."
"Investigate." Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he closed his eyes tightly. "Also, I want to see that psychologist."
"Alright, I'll give you a heads-up. I'll let you know if I get any news. I'm off to do some work now. Bye."
Song Lanyin hung up the phone.
Fu Siyan gripped his phone so tightly his fingertips turned white, and a faint bruise covered the back of his hand, where the IV needle mark was still visible.
The overhead light shone on the man's face, outlining his well-defined features.
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, his cheeks were taut to the extreme, and his breathing was heavy.
Song Lanyin's words kept replaying in his mind—
He finally pushed Shen Qingshu to that point...
Damn it!
He really deserves to die!
The man's back slumped down little by little until he could no longer stand and leaned against the cold wall, his dark eyes gradually turning bloodshot.
[Wen Jingxi and the others were right. If she hadn't met you, Shen Qingshu's life wouldn't have been so difficult.]
[Your ex-wife went to see a psychologist the day before yesterday.]
The man slid to the ground, covered his eyes with his large hand, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty as he swallowed the bitter taste in his throat.
Warm liquid slid down from the corner of my eye.
The man's trembling fingertips were damp.
…
Nine o'clock at night.
In the bathroom, Zhang Yun was helping Xiao Nian'an take a bath.
On the children's bed, little Anning, who had just finished her bath and dried her hair, lay on her stomach, her two pink little feet swinging back and forth. She held a smartwatch in her hand and dialed her mother's number.
Shen Qingshu answered the call quickly.
"Mommy!" Little Anning exclaimed excitedly, "Mommy, I'm going to take a nice bath!"
Hearing her daughter's voice, Shen Qingshu knew that she had adapted to everything and was in a pretty good mood.
She felt a little relieved. "Where's Xiao Nian'an?"
"Aunt Zhang is giving him a bath!"
“I see,” Shen Qingshu said softly, “You should get along well with Xiao Nian’an.”
"Mom, don't worry, Xiao Nian'an and I are doing very well, we won't fight!"
"Okay, do you need Mommy to sing you lullabies tonight before you go to sleep?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Anning hesitated, "I don't know if Daddy will come and read storybooks to us. Xiao Nian'an said that Daddy reads storybooks to him every day!"
Xiao Nian'an kept saying that her father's voice was very nice, which made her want to hear it too!
Shen Qingshu saw through her daughter's little scheme and smiled, "Then ask your dad later. If he's not available, then call Mom?"
"Okay!" Xiao Nian settled down for a moment, then frowned and said, "Mom, there's something I find strange!"
"What's wrong?"
"That evening, Dad played with us on the slide in the yard. He carried me onto the slide so many times I lost count... Then Dad suddenly coughed, and he looked like he was in a lot of pain."
Calmly relieved.
Her daughter's words subconsciously reminded her of what Wen Jingxi had said to her that evening.
Could it be that Fu Siyan's health is really in trouble?
"Xiao Anning, are you talking to your mother on the phone?"
A deep male voice came from the phone.
Shen Qingshu regained her senses.
"Dad, I'm talking to Mom on the phone," Xiao Anning held up her smartwatch. "Do you want to talk to Mom too?"
Fu Siyan was taken aback, looking at the phone watch handed to him, he hesitated for a moment.
Shen Qingshu, on the other end of the phone, also fell silent.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
The two adults remained silent. Xiao Anning frowned. "Dad, you're a boy. Our teacher said boys should be gentlemen. Mom is a bit shy, so you should say hello to her first!"
Fu Siyan looked at his daughter, who was very adept at navigating social situations, with gentle eyes.
He smiled and his warm, deep voice rang out, "Ah Shu, good evening."
Shen Qingshu: "...Good evening."
She couldn't appear too cold or unapproachable in front of her daughter.
"Mom, Dad started talking to you, so shouldn't you try to show him some concern too?"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Fu Siyan frowned, about to say not to make things difficult for his mother, when he heard Shen Qingshu say—
"Fu Siyan, Xiao Anning just said you had a cough?"
He paused for a moment, then an uncontrollable glimmer of hope rose within him. "A-Shu, are you concerned about me?"
"I want to know if you have a cold." Shen Qingshu said coldly, "If you have a cold, I'm afraid I'll pass it on to the child."
Fu Siyan pursed her lips, and the slight deception in her heart vanished instantly.
"I don't have a cold." He regained his usual calm and indifference. "It's just that I've been smoking too much lately, which has caused pharyngitis, and my throat is sore that I'm coughing."
Shen Qingshu: "Don't smoke while the child is here."
"Yes, don't worry, I'm already quitting smoking."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu said no more. She softened her tone and said, "Xiao Anning, Mom has something to do and has to hang up now. Please say goodnight to Xiao Nian'an for me."
"Okay, goodnight, Mom. Sweet dreams tonight!"
"Thank you, my darling. Mommy also wishes you and Xiao Nian'an sweet dreams tonight."
"Okay, Mom, I love you, mwah~"
Shen Qingshu: "Mom loves you and Xiao Nian'an too."
The call ended.
Xiao Anning raised her head, her beautiful eyes, just like her mother's, staring at her father.
Looking at his soft and sweet daughter, Fu Siyan felt a wave of tenderness wash over him.
"Dad, will you read storybooks to me and Xiao Nian'an tonight?"
"Of course." Fu Siyan patted his daughter's round head. It felt wonderful, and her hair was so soft that he didn't dare to use too much force.
This is his and Ashu's daughter.
She looks a lot like Ah Shu.
But his Ah Shu never experienced fatherly love.
Their daughter was a little luckier than Ashu, but perhaps not as lucky.
Because he spent too little time with his daughter.
Qin Yancheng was right to scold him; he really is not human.
I'm afraid I can never repay the debt I owe Shen Qingshu and her two children in this lifetime.
Fu Siyan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and opened his arms to his daughter, saying, "Daddy will hug you."
Xiao Anning's eyes lit up, but the little girl was still a bit arrogant.
Pouting, her eyes darting around, the little pig grunted, "You think you can just hug me like that? That's so embarrassing!"
Fu Siyan was taken aback, then realized what he meant and laughed.
"Then will Dad give you money?"
Xiao Anning: "...Dad, I have lots and lots of New Year's money, money can't buy me out~"
Fu Siyan frowned. He had never spent time with a girl before, and he really couldn't figure out what she was thinking. He had a bit of a headache.
