Chapter 322 Ah Shu, Thank You
Fu Siyan helped Shen Qingshu sit up on the bed.
Shen Qingshu took the water glass he handed her and took the medicine the nurse had instructed her to take that day. "When can we go back?"
She had been away for too long and missed her two children very much.
The outcome we've achieved so far is already extremely fortunate.
She knew there was a high chance she wouldn't be able to find a suitable bone marrow donor, but even if she was going to die, she wanted to go back to China first.
The idea of returning to one's roots is a sentiment shared by every Chinese person.
"Once your condition stabilizes a bit more," Fu Siyan said, taking the water glass and placing it on the table. He then asked her, "Would you like to video chat with the two children?"
Shen Qingshu's eyes lit up. "Of course I want to, but how do I look right now? Do I still look like a patient?"
"It's much better than the past two days." Fu Siyan smiled faintly. "Now everything is over, A-Shu, you and the child are safe from now on."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Has Jin Que's body been found?"
"The sea is below the cliff. We've been searching for three days but haven't found anything. It's possible that it was eaten by sea creatures."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu fell silent.
A moment later, she asked again, "Where is Jiang Ruomi?"
"She had mild signs of miscarriage and is currently in the hospital trying to save the pregnancy. Her condition is relatively stable at the moment."
"I want to go see her."
Fu Siyan thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a couple of days. Why don't you make a video call to the child first?"
Shen Qingshu nodded, "Okay."
She was still afraid that her child would notice she was sick, so she pulled her shawl up to cover the hospital gown underneath.
Afraid that the child would see the hospital bed, she simply sat on the sofa next to the bed, placed her phone in a fixed position, and then made a video call.
The video call connected quickly, and Wen Jingxi's face appeared immediately!
"Ah Shu!" Wen Jingxi exclaimed excitedly, "You heartless bastard! You finally remembered to video call us!"
Shen Qingshu looked at Wen Jingxi, and although she didn't say anything, for some reason, her nose felt sore.
Less than two months have passed, yet it feels like a lifetime has gone by.
Now, separated by a distant country, seeing Wen Jingxi, a feeling of heartache and lingering fear grew wildly within her.
"Xiao Wen, I'm alright now..."
Tears, however, involuntarily streamed down my face.
Wen Jingxi's eyes also reddened on the other end of the video call. "I've heard about it. It's good that you're alright. As soon as you feel better, I'll send my dad's private jet to pick you up and take you home! I'll bring the two kids to greet you at the airport!"
Shen Qingshu smiled through her tears, "Okay, where are the two children?"
“A-Yuan is playing in the yard!” Wen Jingxi said, holding up his phone as he walked into and out of the yard. “You have no idea how hard A-Yuan’s life has been while you were away. Xiao Anning has been putting makeup on her and dressing her in skirts. A-Yuan tries to pretend to be sick and go on strike every day, but Xiao Anning is not easy to fool. A-Yuan can’t hide or run away.”
Listening to Wen Jingxi's complaints, Shen Qingshu could imagine A Yuan's distressed and aggrieved expression.
She really couldn't bear it.
“Xiao Anning is naughty, you need to stop her appropriately, otherwise Ayuan will be driven to depression by her.”
"I think it's definitely on the verge of depression!"
Wen Jingxi walked into the courtyard, and the camera was pointed at the two little dumplings.
In the picture, Xiao Anning is braiding A Yuan's hair.
A Yuan lay on the ground, while Xiao Anning rode on top of A Yuan, holding a small comb in one hand and pulling a tuft of A Yuan's fur with the other.
"Ah Yuan, don't move around! The more you move, the more you'll pull the dog hair! It'll hurt!"
Wen Jingxi: "...Look, you won't even let people resist!"
Shen Qingshu was both amused and exasperated. "Give her the phone, I'll talk to her."
Wen Jingxi walked to Xiao Anning's side and squatted down.
Because Xiao Anning wasn't informed beforehand, she initially ignored the phone that was handed to her.
So busy that he didn't even look up, yet he didn't neglect a single task.
Wen Jingxi moved the phone closer to her face.
"Hey, Godfather, put your phone away! Can't you see I'm doing A-Yuan's hair and makeup?"
Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter in the video; her little face was still chubby.
"Little Anning," she whispered, "Do you miss your mother?"
Xiao Anning lowered her head, still not quite understanding, and said, "Yes~"
He remained calm, without raising his eyebrows or raising his eyes.
Shen Qingshu asked helplessly, "Do you really miss your mother?"
"Really..." Xiao Anning paused, her little brain finally realizing!
She suddenly looked up, saw Shen Qingshu on the phone, and her big eyes widened, "Mom!"
"Mother!"
Xiao Nian'an dropped the Lego and ran over quickly.
The two little ones were vying to see their mother.
What Shen Qingshu saw was two chubby little faces, one on the left and one on the right, squeezing back and forth.
Neither of them would give in.
"Oh dear, Nian'an, don't push! Mommy wants to see me!"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Nian'an retorted, "Mom wants to see me too!"
"Mom called me first!"
"Mom called me too!"
No matter how good the relationship is between children, there is never any room for compromise when it comes to vying for affection.
Fearing that the two children would start arguing, Shen Qingshu quickly said, "Mom wants to see both of you. Don't fight. Find a place to sit down together, and then have your godfather move the phone further away so that Mom can see you both at the same time."
This is indeed the fairest method.
Wen Jingxi invited them inside and sat them on the sofa, then propped his phone up on the coffee table.
Little Anning swung her little feet, looking at Shen Qingshu on her phone, "Mommy, when are you coming back after work?"
Shen Qingshu: "How about a few more days?"
Xiao Nian'an: "Two days is a few days, nine days is a few days, Mom, can you please tell me clearly, how many days is it exactly?"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Helpless, she looked at Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan had been silently watching the heartwarming interaction between the mother and her two children. When he saw Shen Qingshu's expression, he thought for a moment and then raised his hand to make a three-pointer.
Shen Qingshu looked at her phone: "Mom will be able to go back in three more days."
"Wow!" Little Anning clapped her hands. "Mommy will be home in three more days! That's great!"
"Mom, you have to keep your word this time!" Xiao Nian'an frowned, her grudge-holding nature already activated. "Don't be like Dad, who promised to build a snowman with me but then broke his promise!"
When Xiao Nian'an said this, the disappointment in her eyes was unmistakable to the adults.
Shen Qingshu was taken aback and looked up at Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan made a 'shh' gesture to her.
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips.
"Yes, Dad didn't keep his word! He's a big liar!" Xiao Anning joined in the accusation. "Dad said he would send me to kindergarten, but he hasn't yet!"
Fu Siyan heard the accusations from his two children.
But he remained silent and stayed to the side.
Shen Qingshu chatted with the child for a while longer before finally hanging up the video call.
After the video call ended, Shen Qingshu looked at Fu Siyan and asked, "Aren't you planning to go back?"
Fu Siyan: "We need to go back."
"Then why are you hiding from the child?"
“I just wanted to…” Fu Siyan’s expression was somewhat unnatural, “I just wanted to give the children a surprise.”
Calm and slightly stunned.
If she wasn't mistaken, Fu Siyan was blushing?
Who would have thought that this once aloof and arrogant man would now bring surprises to his two children?
He was probably still not used to it, so he looked somewhat uncomfortable.
But it is also this side of him that makes him seem very humane.
The two children truly healed and redeemed this man.
“Fu Siyan, you will be a very good father.” Shen Qingshu sat on the sofa, tilting her chin slightly to meet his gaze. “Thank you for being willing to make changes for the children.”
Fu Siyan was slightly taken aback.
This was the first time Shen Qingshu had acknowledged him since he became a father.
The man's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he hurriedly turned around.
The uninjured hand covered the face.
In the quiet hospital room, the man's voice choked with emotion, "Ah Shu, thank you."
