Chapter 610 The Grand Reunion (8)
Lijiang Villa, Xingyue Mansion.
Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan, along with their three children, set off for the airport.
They were going to the ancient town in the south of the city to find Jiang Yuelan and Jin Huaimin.
A year ago, Jiang Yuelan and Jin Huaimin unexpectedly welcomed a new life.
Over the years, under Jin Huaimin's meticulous care, Jiang Yuelan's health has improved, and her mind has largely recovered.
The couple had a child late in life and cherished him dearly. After some discussion, Jin Huaimin decided to take Jiang Yuelan to settle in the ancient town.
The traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the ancient town had been open all along. After Jin Que left, Jin Huaimin took over and hired people to look after it. It mainly sold some Chinese medicine products. As for treating diseases, since they couldn't find a knowledgeable Chinese medicine doctor, they put it on hold.
Jin Huaimin couldn't bear to see the traditional Chinese medicine clinic go to waste, so after discussing it with Jiang Yuelan, the two decided to move to the ancient town.
In recent years, Jiang Yuelan has also been learning traditional Chinese medicine from Jin Huaimin. Although she can't learn how to treat patients, she has already recognized most of the Chinese medicinal herbs and can help with dispensing medicine.
However, Jiang Yuelan is currently pregnant, so Jin Huaimin naturally wouldn't want her to worry about the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
After arriving in the ancient town, they moved directly into the house that Shen Qingshu had once bought.
Jiang Wenjin and Bai Jianwen, this childless couple, will come to visit Jiang Yuelan at the end of the year.
They are all relatives who love Shen Qingshu, and now that they are together, they look just like a loving family.
...
Fu Siyan arranged a private jet in advance. They planned to stay for about half a month and return a day or two before the children started school.
On the way to the airport, 10-year-old Shen Anning kept chatting with people using her smartwatch.
Beside her was the aloof 10-year-old young master, Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an turned to look at her younger sister for the nth time, her beautiful brows furrowed. "Shen Anning, you can't look down at your watch while riding in a car, it will make you carsick."
His voice immediately adopted the tone of a cold and domineering CEO.
Shen Anning had had enough of her brother's control over the past two years, especially when she texted Qi Yue, her brother always looked at her as if she had betrayed him!
"Fu Nian'an, you're so annoying!" Shen Anning complained softly, her eyes still fixed on the watch on her wrist, her delicate and pretty fingers tapping happily on the screen.
Qi Yue sent her a picture of a Border Collie at his maternal grandmother's house. The puppy was very cute, and she liked it very much!
Too lazy to type, she simply sent a voice message: "Brother July, what's the name of this puppy? It's so cute, I love it too!"
Qi Yue quickly replied, "Its name is Laifu, and it's raised by my cousin."
Lai Fu?
Shen Anning was completely dumbfounded.
Beside her, Fu Nian'an sneered, "Border Collies are such intelligent purebred dogs, how could they be given such a cowardly name?"
Shen Anning was displeased upon hearing this!
"Fu Nian'an, why are you talking like that? Why can't a Border Collie be named Laifu? If I were to raise a Border Collie in the future, I would name it Laicai! It's so auspicious and sounds so nice!"
Fu Nian'an pursed her lips, watched her younger sister finish criticizing her, and then continued chatting with Qi Yue with her head down, letting out a deep sigh.
Forget it, he doesn't care anymore!
He turned to look at Xiao Niannian, who was sitting obediently eating Want Want Little Buns on the other side.
Six-year-old Niannian is a foodie. Her little face is round and chubby from eating, and her beautiful eyes reveal an infinite longing for delicious food.
Noticing that Fu Nian'an was looking at her, Xiao Niannian, who was about to put the small steamed bun in her mouth, handed it to Fu Nian'an and asked, "Brother, do you want to eat a small steamed bun too?"
Fu Nian'an looked at the small steamed bun his younger sister offered him and thought to himself that his little sister was the best. Unable to bear taking it from her, he smiled and ruffled her hair. "Brother doesn't want it, you..."
"Okay!" As soon as Xiao Niannian finished speaking, she accurately and quickly stuffed the small steamed bun into her own mouth.
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Well, being a foodie is better than being a fangirl, right?
...
Shen Qingshu sat in the front passenger seat, secretly observing the daily interactions of the three siblings in the back through the rearview mirror.
She felt somewhat helpless when she saw Fu Nian'an get angry again because Xiao Anning and Qi Yue were too close.
"Nian'an, take good care of your two younger sisters. Dad and Mom have some company matters to discuss."
Fu Nian'an glanced calmly at Shen Anning in front of her and replied indifferently, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soundproof panel slowly rose, completely separating the front and rear seats.
Seeing this, Fu Siyan freed one hand and grasped Shen Qingshu's hand, his voice low and deep, "What's wrong?"
He sighed, "Don't you think Nian'an's personality is becoming increasingly aloof as she grows older?"
“This shows that he is gradually developing his own ideas,” Fu Siyan gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips. “Don’t worry too much.”
"But he's only 10 years old, and he already has the domineering and domineering air of an old man. Aren't you afraid that if he continues like this, he won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future because his personality is too strong and cold?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan paused.
The red light ahead was on, and Fu Siyan slowly stepped on the brake, turning his head to look at Shen Qingshu.
"When children grow up, they will have their own thoughts and choices. They will grow up, have their own careers, meet the right person, and start a family. This is the result that every parent wants to see, but it is not absolute."
“I understand.” Shen Qingshu sighed softly. “I’m just worried that Nian’an will become too preoccupied with his own thoughts, too controlling and prone to overthinking, and he will become very difficult to satisfy.”
Fu Siyan understood Shen Qingshu's concerns.
In fact, Fu Siyan was well aware that Nian'an's personality was largely inherited from him.
However, he was confident that Nian'an's personality wouldn't be like his own before, after all, their upbringing was completely different.
Thinking of this, Fu Siyan added, "Ashu, children grow up to have more choices and to have better abilities to pursue the life they want. Nian'an is very smart, which is his advantage. If he inherits our company when he grows up, I believe he will definitely be able to manage it very well. But his purpose in growing up is not to inherit our company. Of course, if he really wants to, that is his own choice, and we happen to have the ability to do so. That's perfect."
If he chooses another career, as long as it's something he likes, we as his parents will support him just the same—that's another kind of perfection. Similarly, if he finds someone he loves, like we have, he will pursue marriage. At that time, he will naturally make changes for his loved one. But if he doesn't meet that person, even if he remains single for life, that's his own choice. I believe that if he makes that choice, it means he can accept that outcome.
It was rare for Shen Qingshu to hear him say so much.
The light turned green, and Fu Siyan released her hand, shifted gears, and gently pressed the accelerator.
Shen Qingshu looked at him and said, "I often have this illusion that I see you as a child through Nian'an."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan was slightly taken aback.
After a moment, he chuckled softly and took her hand again, this time with a slightly stronger grip.
“Ah Shu, I understand your worries. You know best what I used to be like, but think about it from another perspective. Even the terrible Fu Siyan could change for you, so what about our Nian An? Look, I am so lucky to have such a good wife like you. As long as we cherish her, our Nian An will definitely be even luckier than me!”
Shen Qingshu was deeply moved by his words.
She grasped Fu Siyan's hand in return and suddenly said, "Since Nian'an can rest assured, then I'm even less worried about Xiao Anning."
Fu Siyan asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
"Because Qi Yue is a very sensible and outstanding child, and Xiao Anning also likes to spend time with him, Mr. Qi and I have agreed that as long as the two of them are in love, we will become in-laws."
"I won't allow it!"
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Why?"
“Our Xiao Anning won’t get married.” Fu Siyan frowned. “Nian’an and I can support her for the rest of her life.”
Shen Qingshu: "..."
She was both amused and exasperated. "Girls grow up and leave home. If Xiao Anning really likes Qi Yue, do you think you and your father can keep her here?"
Fu Siyan: "...Then let Qi Yue marry into the family!"
Shen Qingshu: "...Do you think President Han would be willing?"
Fu Siyan snorted coldly, "Then there's no point in talking!"
"..." Shen Qingshu withdrew her hand, too lazy to argue with him.
