Chapter 900 The Grand Finale!
Le Yan spent a week in the hospital after giving birth. During this time, in addition to Fu Nian'an, other members of the Fu family also came to take care of her and her two children every day.
Le Yan's body was under considerable pressure due to carrying these two children. She has a small frame, and carrying a single child was already a significant burden, let alone twins. This delivery can be said to have taken a toll on Le Yan's life.
She will need extra care and attention to fully recover.
Therefore, although Le Yan could have been discharged after a C-section after only a week of hospitalization, Fu Nian'an insisted that she stay for 14 days in order to allow her to recover better.
After 14 days, the wound healed well, and Leyan's complexion gradually improved. The hospital announced that she could be discharged.
After discussing it as a family, they chose home-based postpartum care over a postpartum care center.
Two years ago, Fu Nian'an and Le Yan held their wedding.
The wedding house was a gift from Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan. It was located in the Lijiang villa area, just two villas away from Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan's house.
During the renovation, the new name was written on the doorplate – Le'an Mansion.
That was Fu Nian'an and Le Yan's love nest, where they would raise their child and spend the rest of their lives together.
But Fu Nian'an still kept the house in Yudao No. 1. It was the beginning of his relationship with Le Yan. He often joked that when the children grew up, he and Le Yan could occasionally go back to stay for a few days and enjoy some time alone together.
After the wedding, Fu Nian'an and Le Yan lived in Yudao No. 1 for most of the time until she became pregnant, at which point they moved to Le'an Mansion.
The Le'an Mansion had already made arrangements: two senior childcare specialists, one postpartum recovery specialist, two exclusive chefs with senior chef certificates, and several maids to manage the villa's interior and exterior. Aunt Luo was transferred here directly and became the most senior housekeeper.
After Leyan returned home, she didn't need to do anything else herself except for breastfeeding.
Even the thought of holding her two children more each day has become a luxury for her.
Fu Nian'an and her family kept a close eye on things, saying that Le Yan shouldn't hold the baby during her postpartum period, fearing that holding the baby too much would cause her arms to ache.
Even Lin Xiangyu joined the team that strictly kept an eye on Le Yan.
Leyan feels that she can only hold her child when she is breastfeeding, and the rest of the time she can only see her child through the monitoring screen on her phone.
The more she looked at the baby, the more she wanted him, and finally, on the 28th day of her postpartum period, Leyan snapped!
That evening, after dinner, the rehabilitation therapist led Le Yan through a set of rehabilitation exercises in the living room.
After finishing her exercises, Le Yan realized that Fu Nian'an hadn't returned yet. An idea popped into her head, and she thought she could take the opportunity to go next door and check on the two children while Fu Nian'an was still away!
But as soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard footsteps coming from the other side of the stairs.
Le Yan paused, her heart sinking.
Sure enough, Fu Nian'an appeared at the stairwell the next second.
As soon as Fu Nian'an went upstairs, she saw Le Yan standing at the door and guessed that she wanted to go see the child.
He walked over, bent down, and picked Le Yan up. "Just finished exercising?"
"Hmm." Le Yan was carried into the room by him, somewhat dissatisfied: "I don't have anything else to do right now, I want to go see the child."
"You just finished exercising, you must be sweaty. Let me wipe you down first, otherwise you might catch a cold."
Le Yan pursed her lips. "After I'm done wiping, I'll go check on the child."
Fu Nian'an smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have them bring it over after you're done wiping."
Le Yan's expression softened slightly.
Fu Nian'an carried her to the bathroom, turned on the heater, and then rolled up his sleeves.
There was a large thermos in the bathroom filled with boiled ginger and mugwort water, which was specially used for Le Yan to wash herself during her postpartum period.
Fu Nian'an poured out some of the water, wet a towel, wrung it out, and personally helped Le Yan wash her body.
Fu Nian'an did this almost every day during her postpartum period.
Le Yan also went from being shy at first to getting used to it.
Fu Nian'an helped Le Yan clean herself up and change her into clean and comfortable pajamas before carrying her out of the bathroom.
In the bedroom, Fu Nian'an put Le Yan on the bed, picked up the thermos on the bedside table, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her, "Have some water."
Leyan took the water glass and drank a few sips.
After finishing her water, Le Yan looked up at him longingly, "I want to see the baby."
Fu Nian'an paused, looked at her, and said, "You just finished your rehabilitation, so lie down and rest first. I'll have them bring the baby over later."
His original intention was to let Le Yan rest more.
"I don't want to!" Le Yan stared at him stubbornly. "That's my child. I can see it whenever I want!"
Le Yan suddenly snapped and yelled at Fu Nian'an, "You restrict me every day! Except for breastfeeding, you won't let me hold them!"
Fu Nian'an was stunned.
After Le Yan finished yelling, her chest heaved violently, and large tears streamed down her face.
She instantly realized she had lost control of her emotions, and raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to yell at you. I don't know why I did that. I just... I just wanted to see the baby, sob sob..."
Fu Nian'an realized what was happening and quickly pulled her onto her lap, pulling out a few tissues to wipe away her tears. Her expression was tense. "Yangyang, don't cry. You've misunderstood. I'm not saying you can't see the children. I'm just worried they'll disturb your rest..."
“I’m not afraid, they are my children…” Le Yan’s voice choked with emotion. “I can only hold them in my arms when I’m breastfeeding, otherwise I can only see them through the monitor. I feel like I’m just a milk-producing machine. I don’t want this…”
Fu Nian'an was taken aback.
He hadn't expected that his plan to let Le Yan rest more would elicit such a psychological reaction from her.
"I'm sorry, Yanyan, I didn't think it through." Fu Nian'an coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, crying during postpartum confinement is bad for your eyes. If you want to see the baby, I'll have them bring the baby over right now."
Le Yan sniffed. "They're sleeping right now, don't disturb them. I just want to go take a look and have a little something to eat... is that okay?"
"Sure, of course." Fu Nian'an couldn't help but chuckle at her pitiful yet considerate demeanor.
He lowered his head and kissed her wet eyes, coaxing her gently, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I only considered your physical health and neglected your feelings. I've made you suffer these past few days. I'm sorry, Yangyang, it's all my fault."
Upon hearing Fu Nian'an's words, Le Yan could no longer hold back and buried her face in his chest, bursting into tears.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper. I just... I suddenly feel so sad. I want to see my children. I'm not afraid of hard work. I just want to spend more time with them..."
"I know." Fu Nian'an gently patted Le Yan's back. "From now on, I'll have them bring the baby over to be with you during the day, okay?"
"...Then you can't stop me when I want to hug them."
"I won't stop them, but the doctor said that babies in the first month shouldn't be held too often. Let them lie down on their own whenever they want, otherwise they'll get used to being held and won't be able to stay with someone after the first month."
Le Yan was silent for a moment, then nestled against Fu Nian'an's chest, her voice trembling with tears, and said in a muffled voice, "Then I'll let them lie down next to me, and I'll just watch them quietly. I won't hug them."
"Okay." Fu Nian'an patted her head. "Don't cry, wipe your tears, let's go see the baby, okay?"
"Hmm!" Le Yan raised her head, pulled up Fu Nian'an's clothes, and wiped her face haphazardly.
Fu Nian'an was both amused and exasperated. "Is this revenge on me?"
Le Yan glared at him with her bright red eyes, "If I had known you were this domineering, I would have given you two sons!"
Fu Nian'an: "..." This is a huge threat.
Thinking of her daughter's face, which looked more and more like Le Yan's as she grew up, Fu Nian'an felt a wave of tenderness wash over her.
He cupped Le Yang's face in his hands, lowered his head, and kissed the corner of her mouth. "If Yi Yi were to become a boy, she would be just like my little brother, not cute at all."
Le Yan: "...You favor women over men!"
“Yes, I admit it.” Fu Nian’an raised an eyebrow domineeringly, “but I won’t change.”
Le Yan: "..."
...
After calming Le Yan down, Fu Nian'an immediately went next door and asked the nanny to bring the baby over.
The childcare worker brought the two children over; they were fast asleep.
Following Fu Nian'an's instructions, they put the child on the big bed.
Le Yan lay to the side, looking at the two children, and a smile suddenly appeared in her red, tear-filled eyes.
Fu Nian'an stood aside watching, shaking her head helplessly. "I should remind you first that they have to sleep next door at night. They get up several times during the night, and you can't handle it."
"Yes, let them sleep next door tonight and stay with me during the day!" Le Yan stared intently at her two children, not wanting to look away for even a second.
From that day on, Leyan spent her days with her two children, and her mood visibly improved.
Every night before bedtime, Leyan would feed the two children first, and then have the childcare worker take them to the next room to sleep.
Afterwards, the couple lay in bed, and Le Yan opened her phone and flipped through the videos and photos she had taken during the day, sharing them with Fu Nian'an with lingering enjoyment.
Her eyes and heart were only for her two children, and Fu Nian'an felt neglected.
"Yangyang, haven't you gotten tired of looking at them all day?"
Le Yan paused as she flipped through the photos. "How could I get tired of it?"
She looked at Fu Nian'an and frowned. "These are our children. They're growing so fast, they look different almost every day. It's amazing!"
"Kids are only cute when they're little. Once they grow up to be the age of Zhizhi and Chenchen, they'll be too old for even dogs to handle!"
“My children would never do that!” Le Yan declared confidently. “No matter how old they are, they will always be the most adorable to me!”
Looking at her overflowing maternal love, Fu Nian'an curled her lips meaningfully, "I hope you can always think this way."
"Stop being sarcastic. Do you think I don't know my own children?!" Le Yan put away her phone and glared at him. "If you don't like watching, then forget it. I'm going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow to play with them!"
After saying that, Le Yan turned over and lay down, covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly.
Fu Nian'an, who was completely ignored: "..."
...
The situation of Mr. Fu gradually falling out of favor after having children continued until the twins turned three years old.
A three-year-old child is entering their first little rebellious phase.
Yi Yi and Mu Mu, it's unclear who they inherited it from, but they've shown an astonishingly stubborn gene since childhood.
The two siblings have been very fond of fighting since they were one year old. The elder sister is a control over her younger brother. She has felt that her younger brother should listen to her since she was a child, and she will beat her younger brother if he disobeys.
The younger brother, Mumu, was no pushover either. Knowing full well that his older sister was not to be trifled with, he would still provoke her whenever he felt like it, which would result in a good beating from her. After being beaten, he would cry and run around telling everyone he could.
Whenever the siblings have a conflict, they immediately turn to their mother as the judge.
Leyan has endless 'cases' to solve every day. If she is not careful, she will be seen as an unreasonable and unjust judge and be criticized by her siblings.
Over time, Le Yan could no longer cope and sought help from Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an had waited three years for this day, and it had finally come!
After the couple made love that night, the man took advantage of the woman's drowsy state and whispered in her ear: "The day before yesterday, Professor Eileen and I asked me about your recent situation. She is very concerned about you and also told me that if you still want to pursue further studies abroad, she can recommend you to a college in Australia as a tutor. I think it's a rare opportunity, and you can consider it."
Le Yan was in a daze, muttering, "What about the child?"
“You can stay at home. Your parents will take care of them. They are at a very healthy age now, so don’t worry. When you finish your studies and come back, they will be ready to start kindergarten.”
"Hmm, can't we let them come to Australia with me?"
“They’re so naughty, how are you going to concentrate on your studies?” Fu Nian’an said, “If you’re going to study, you should concentrate on your studies. It’s only two years. Besides, I’ll take them to Australia to visit you when I have time. It’s not like we won’t see each other for two years.”
“That makes sense. Let’s go then. I’m 30 years old too, and if I keep putting it off, I’ll really get too old…”
Fu Nian'an smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have Chu Xing arrange it right away tomorrow."
...
When the twins turned three, Le Yan, persuaded by Fu Nian'an, finally decided to go to Australia to study.
Fu Nian'an, who had planned ahead, directly opened a branch of the company in Australia.
He claimed to be exploring new markets, but in reality, he was after his wife.
Finally free from the two little ones, Fu Nian'an and Le Yan were able to enjoy their long-awaited time together as a couple.
With their two children left in China, Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan became the ones left holding the bag. They had to cancel their year-long round-the-world trip and stay home to take care of their grandchildren.
Fu Siyan was quite dissatisfied with this and would call Fu Nian'an every now and then to scold him.
Fu Nian'an lives in Australia. Every day after get off work, he goes to the school to pick up his wife and they enjoy a carefree life together.
He ignored his father's complaints.
These peaceful and beautiful days lasted for two years.
When the twins were five years old, Leyan finally completed her studies.
After receiving her graduation certificate, she couldn't wait to drag Fu Nian'an back to Beicheng from Australia.
On the day they returned to China, Fu Siyan, Shen Qingshu, and Shen Anning, along with their family of four, came to the airport to pick them up.
At the airport, the five-year-old twins spotted their parents from afar.
The two little ones let go of their grandparents' hands and ran straight towards them—
"Dad, Mom—"
"Dad, Mom—"
When Le Yan and Fu Nian'an saw the child, they knelt down and opened their arms.
Yiyi rushed into her father's arms, and Mumu rushed into her mother's arms.
The family of four was finally reunited.
Shen Qingshu and the others walked over and looked at the couple. "It's good that you're back. Niannian and the others will be back today too. We'll have a family dinner together tonight. It's been a long time since we've all gotten together for a meal."
Le Yan and Fu Nian'an stood up and looked at Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan. Le Yan said, "Dad, Mom, thank you both for helping us take care of the child these past two years."
Shen Qingshu stepped forward and took Le Yan's hand. "After being away for two years, we've become strangers. Let's not stand on ceremony as family. Let's go. The airport is crowded, so let's go back first."
"good."
...
In the evening, the large round dining table was full.
Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan felt very satisfied as they watched their children achieve success in their careers and have happy families.
Last year, Shen Anning and Qi Yue remarried without holding a wedding ceremony. However, the Fu, Han, and Qi families held a banquet in private, ostensibly for Zhizhi and Chenchen's birthday, but actually to bring the three families together again to witness Shen Anning and Qi Yue's reconciliation.
Feng Siyu retired from the front lines two years ago and now runs a fire equipment company. With Feng Yuncheng's financial backing, Feng Siyu has quickly achieved success in this new field. Fu Nianjin is pregnant with her second child, just three months along, and they plan to hold their wedding after the second child is born.
As for Fu Nian'an and Le Yan, their relationship has always been very good and stable; their biggest hardship was having children.
But now that I have both a son and a daughter, I can consider it a perfect life.
Shen Qingshu looked at them, tears glistening in her eyes.
Fu Siyan noticed his wife's mood, raised his hand and gently put his arm around her shoulder, patting her lightly.
Shen Qingshu turned to look at him.
Their eyes met, and Fu Siyan smiled at her.
Shen Qingshu smiled.
At night, apart from Fu Nianjin and Hao Hao and her daughter, everyone else returned to their own homes, and the lively villa instantly became quiet and deserted.
Fu Nianjin took Haohao back to her room to sleep.
Shen Qingshu went to the back garden alone.
When Fu Siyan found her, she was standing by the koi pond, lost in thought.
He looked at Shen Qingshu for a while before walking towards her.
“Ah Shu.”
Shen Qingshu turned around and met Fu Siyan's concerned gaze.
"Song Wenyuan called," Fu Siyan said.
Chen Qingshu was taken aback.
"Jin Que suffered a sudden heart attack at midnight last night and could not be saved."
Shen Qingshu stared blankly at Fu Siyan.
"How could this be?" she exclaimed in disbelief. "His medical skills are so amazing, how could he let himself die from such a disease..."
Halfway through her sentence, Shen Qingshu seemed to realize something and looked at Fu Siyan, "Could he be...?"
“Yes, he did it on purpose.” Fu Siyan walked over and took Shen Qingshu’s hand.
Shen Qingshu's hands were ice-cold. "He left a suicide note, a very simple sentence."
What did he leave behind?
Fu Siyan took out his phone and handed Shen Qingshu a photo of Jin Que's handwritten suicide note that Song Wenyuan had taken.
In the photo, Jin Que's handwriting reads: "Ah Shu, the demon you saved back then is dead. You're free. If there's an afterlife, please find me before I become a demon, okay?"
As Shen Qingshu read these words, tears fell silently.
Fu Siyan held her and sighed, "The prescription that cured Yanyan's body was not made by Uncle Jin at all, right? At that time, Jin Que met with you alone and used this matter as a bargaining chip. He made a five-year agreement with you. When the five-year period was up, he wanted you to leave quietly alone. He wanted you to choose between 'your lonely remaining life' and 'the happy family of your children.' He wanted to test your humanity."
Shen Qingshu hugged him, burying her face in his shoulder, "Siyan, I'm sorry..."
“Ah Shu, you did nothing wrong to me.” Fu Siyan comforted her gently. “It was precisely because you chose second that Jin Que’s selfishness was proven once again. He lost again, so he ended it all with his death. Ah Shu, Jin Que said that if there is an afterlife, he hopes you will find him sooner, but I want to say that if there is an afterlife, I will find you first, and then I will make sure you never meet him again.”
Shen Qingshu hugged Fu Siyan, sobbing uncontrollably: "This life is still long. The next life and such are all vague things. For me, this is already perfect."
Fu Siyan smiled, hugged her tightly, and sighed deeply, "Yes, things are already perfect as they are now."
Shen Qingshu said, "You make the travel plans tomorrow, and we'll make up for the trips we've missed over the past two years."
Fu Siyan smiled and replied, "Okay."
The couple walked back to the master bedroom hand in hand.
After washing up, they lay down and embraced each other, ready to fall asleep.
My phone suddenly vibrated.
It's Shen Qingshu's phone.
It was Fu Nian'an who called.
Shen Qingshu sat up, picked up her phone, and pressed the speakerphone button under Fu Siyan's gaze: "Nian'an, what's wrong?"
"Mom, Yangyang is pregnant again..."
Fu Siyan sat bolt upright in bed, staring at his phone in disbelief. "Didn't you get a vasectomy?"
On the other end, Fu Nian'an coughed a few times: "She had her tubal ligation done, but there was a bit of an accident... Anyway, it was an accident. Yangyang's pregnancy symptoms are quite severe this time. The doctor said it's a girl, so I have to take good care of them. So, so Yiyi and Mumu will have to trouble you two to lend a hand in the future."
Fu Siyan: "..."
Looking at her husband's lifeless face, Shen Qingshu held back her laughter and said to Fu Nian'an on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry about Yi Yi and Mu Mu, your dad and I will take care of them. Yan Yan's pregnancy is quite severe, so you, as her husband, need to take good care of her. Starting tomorrow, your dad and I will go over to help take care of Yi Yi and Mu Mu, so you can just focus on taking care of Le Yan during her pregnancy."
"Mom, thank you."
Fu Siyan: "..." Does he not need to thank me?
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu looked at Fu Siyan, raised her hand and tapped his furrowed brow, "Old man, smile. Many children and grandchildren are our blessing!"
Fu Siyan: "..."
——
In the early autumn of the following year, Le Yan gave birth to a baby girl via cesarean section, and named her Fu Yunxi.
On the first birthday of Fu Yunxi, the Chinese opera "Always With You," choreographed and directed by Le Yan, toured the country to great success! Le Yan's name became a new generation label in the opera world, and "Always With You" won many awards, making a historically significant contribution to the promotion of intangible cultural heritage in China!
In the same year, the urban family drama film "Luckily to Have You," spearheaded by Le Yan, began filming.
The TV series is adapted from Le Yan's personal life experiences and the real-life prototypes of various members of the Fu family...
