Chapter 155 We are husband and wife
Shen Qingshu glanced at the time; it was already 9:30.
The children should rest now.
Shen Qingshu walked over and glanced at the three empty bottles of Moutai on the table.
It's not that I care about them, it's just that if something happens while they're drinking at her house, she'll be the one who suffers!
"Gentlemen, it's getting late, you should head back," Shen Qingshu said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan raised his dark eyebrows slightly, his eyes, reddened by alcohol, fixed on Feng Yuncheng, and his thin lips curled into a slight smile, "Feng Yuncheng, you should go."
“Me?” Feng Yuncheng laughed. “Fu Siyan, Miss Shen didn’t just chase me away.”
Fu Siyan's thin lips curled slightly, "We are husband and wife, why are you rushing us?"
Feng Yuncheng scoffed and looked up at Shen Qingshu beside him, "Does Miss Shen agree with what he said?"
Shen Qingshu wasn't in the mood to chat with them, especially since they were clearly drunk.
She called Shao Qing in directly.
Shao Qing was also surprised to see Fu Siyan.
Having worked alongside Fu Siyan for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen Fu Siyan drink so much!
Her whole face was bright red, and the bloodshot eyes looked frightening.
Another glance at the empty wine bottles on the table...
Shao Qing gasped!
Goodness, if they drink baijiu like that, anyone with a weaker constitution would have to be rushed to the hospital for a stomach pump!
Shao Qing walked to Fu Siyan's side, bent down and said, "Young Master Fu, it's getting late, shall I take you home?"
Fu Siyan remained unmoved, sitting upright with his slender fingers holding an empty white wine glass, slowly playing with it.
He doesn't speak, so no one can guess what he's thinking.
Shao Qing was at a loss.
Shen Qingshu said, "We have to drag them out, even if we have to."
Shao Qing: "..."
How could he dare!
Seeing that Fu Siyan was so disliked by Shen Qingshu, Feng Yuncheng chuckled a few times, "Fu Siyan, you've finally met your match."
Fu Siyan remained silent, but showed no intention of leaving.
Shen Qingshu closed her eyes and sighed, too lazy to pay them any attention!
She turned and walked into the living room, looking at Zhang Yun and said, "They're both drunk, but they probably won't leave anytime soon. Xiao Nian'an is also sick and can't stay up all night. Do you want the driver to take you home first, or do you want to stay here tonight? I have a guest room upstairs."
Zhang Yun hesitated for a moment, "Wouldn't it be too much of a disturbance if I stayed here?"
"No, I can just make up the four-piece bedding in the guest room and go to sleep."
"this……"
"Aunt Yun, why don't you and Xiao Nian'an stay tonight? Tomorrow is Saturday, and I want to play with Xiao Nian'an again!"
Hearing this, Xiao Nian'an was also excited.
He walked over and took Zhang Yun's hand.
Zhang Yun looked down at him.
She knew that Xiao Nian'an also wanted to stay.
"Xiao Nian'an, what do you want to say?" Zhang Yun squatted down and patted his head. "Tell me, otherwise I won't know."
Xiao Nian'an pointed at Xiao Anning.
"No, you have to say it." Zhang Yun gently tapped his lips, guiding him gently, "Can you express your thoughts?"
Xiao Nian'an opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, word by word, "I want to sleep at Xiao Anning's house!"
"That's great!" Zhang Yun exclaimed excitedly, patting Xiao Nian'an's head. "Our Xiao Nian'an is amazing! We'll stay at Xiao Anning's house tonight!"
"Great! Great!" Xiao Anning clapped her hands happily.
Xiao Nian'an was also happy, and clapped her hands with a smile along with Xiao Anning.
His dark eyes crinkled when he smiled, and there was a light in them, which made him look much more vibrant than before.
Zhang Yun's eyes reddened as she watched.
She stood up, sniffed, and said to Shen Qingshu, "I've been taking care of him for so long, and I never imagined he could improve so much in just a few days. Miss Shen, you and Xiao Anning may truly be our young master's destined benefactors."
"I can tell you care a lot about Xiao Nian'an." Shen Qingshu had a good impression of Zhang Yun because Zhang Yun's eyes showed love and care when he looked at Xiao Nian'an.
Feng Yuncheng didn't find a very good stepmother for Xiao Nian'an, but he did find the right childcare worker.
At this moment, Feng Yuncheng and Fu Siyan, who were at the other end of the dining table, suddenly stood up.
Shao Qing wanted to help Fu Siyan up, but Fu Siyan said it wasn't necessary.
Then, he and Feng Yuncheng, arm in arm, staggered towards the door.
Shen Qingshu and Zhang Yun were also stunned when they saw this scene.
Weren't we just arguing? How come we're upstairs in the blink of an eye?
Shao Qing was afraid that the two of them would start fighting in the blink of an eye, so he hurriedly followed.
After a while, Shao Qing turned back and walked directly into the living room.
Shen Qingshu frowned. "They're gone?"
Shao Qing gave an awkward laugh, "No."
What does "nothing" mean?
"Young Master Fu and Mr. Feng said they wanted to brew tea and admire the moon in the courtyard."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
"Sorry, even though I'm drunk, I'm still my boss, so..." Shao Qing bent down, picked up the tea set, and looked at Shen Qingshu with an embarrassed smile, "No matter how unreasonable the boss's request is, as his employee, I have to comply."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Shao Qing left with the tea set.
Zhang Yun was both amused and exasperated. "I never expected my boss to have this side to him. But he and Attorney Fu seem to be quite familiar with each other?"
“They used to be comrades-in-arms.” Shen Qingshu sighed, pursing her lips. “Never mind them. I’ll go upstairs and change the bedding in the guest room. You stay with the child.”
"OK."
…
Zhang Yun is a diligent and attentive person. While Shen Qingshu went upstairs to change the sheets, she cleared the dining table.
Once Chen Qing calmed down, Zhang Yun was already washing dishes in the kitchen.
Shen Qingshu told her not to wash, but Zhang Yun insisted on finishing.
Unable to persuade them otherwise, Shen Qingshu saw that it was getting late and took Xiao Nian'an and Xiao Anning upstairs to take a bath.
Xiao Nian'an had just recovered a bit, so Shen Qingshu didn't dare to give him a bath.
She used a hot towel to wipe Xiao Nian'an's body, and then took a set of Xiao Anning's pajamas to change him into.
The pajamas looked a little big on Xiao Nian'an.
When Shen Qingshu was washing Xiao Nian'an's body, she felt heartbroken seeing her clearly visible ribs.
As a mother, I simply can't bear to see such a well-behaved child do anything wrong.
She carried Xiao Nian'an to the bed and gave her a children's picture book that Xiao Anning usually read.
Xiao Nian'an loves looking at picture books, and she reads them with great interest, her head down.
Shen Qingshu turned and went into the bathroom, quickly helping Xiao Anning take a bath.
When Zhang Yun went upstairs, the two little ones were already lying on Shen Qingshu's bed, ready to fall asleep.
“I’ve changed into the four-piece bedding set, and I’ve put the toiletries in the bathroom,” Shen Qingshu said to Zhang Yun. “Xiao Nian’an wants to sleep with Xiao Anning, so let him sleep with us for one night.”
Zhang Yun still had some concerns, "Won't the two children be too noisy?"
"No, Xiao Nian'an is very well-behaved." Shen Qingshu smiled slightly. "Besides, the guest room doesn't have a bed rail, but my bed does, so we don't have to worry about the child falling off the bed at night. It's just right for Xiao Nian'an to sleep with us."
Hearing this, Zhang Yun felt embarrassed but didn't say anything more.
Zhang Yun went to the guest room, and Shen Qingshu closed the door.
Every night before going to bed, Shen Qingshu would read storybooks to Xiao Anning.
Sometimes when she wasn't around, Wen Jingxi or Bai Jianwen would read to Xiao Anning.
“Mom,” Xiao Anning suddenly said, “could you lie down in the middle?”
Shen Qingshu was taken aback. "Why?"
"Because I want to lean on my mother, and Xiao Nian'an also wants to lean on her mother!"
Shen Qingshu looked at Xiao Nian'an.
Xiao Nian'an was a little embarrassed. She blinked, and her fair face immediately turned red.
Shen Qingshu was charmed by his cuteness.
She lay down between the two children, putting her arms around one in each arm, and said, "No stories tonight, how about I sing you lullabies instead?"
"Yes, yes!" said Xiao Anning. "Mommy sings the best lullabies! Xiao Nian'an, you're so lucky!"
Xiao Nian'an's big, dark eyes stared at Shen Qingshu, sparkling.
Shen Qingshu turned off the light and softly hummed a lullaby.
In the dimly lit room, a woman's soft and melodious singing voice echoed.
The two little ones in my arms rubbed their eyes, yawned, and closed their eyes as if they were getting sleepy.
Shen Qingshu felt the two little bundles of joy in her arms gradually breathing evenly, and knew that they had both fallen asleep.
When the singing stopped, she tightened her grip on Xiao Nian'an's arm slightly.
She also reminisces about the child she never had the chance to meet through the little one in her arms.

In the early summer, the ancient town was bathed in a cool night breeze.
In the courtyard of a traditional Chinese house, under an old banyan tree, a tea tray sits on a hand-carved granite table.
The boiling water released a burst of tea aroma.
Shao Qing brewed a good cup of tea and added a fresh cup of tea to the two ancestors' cups.
The aroma of tea filled the air, and after a few cups of hot tea, the two drunken men sobered up a bit.
Feng Yuncheng looked like he had something to say.
Fu Siyan said to Shao Qing, "Go back to the hotel and rest. Come pick me up tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Shao Qing knew that he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first and come pick you up tomorrow morning."
The wooden gate to the courtyard opened and closed again; Shao Qing was gone.
“Fu Siyan, it’s been four years, are you still not going to give up?” Feng Yuncheng looked at him, his deep eyes filled with complex emotions. “She’s just an ordinary person. If you keep holding on to her, you’ll only hurt her. Haven’t the lessons of four years ago woken you up yet?”
Under the moonlight, Fu Siyan's face was cold and stern.
Faced with Feng Yuncheng's questioning, he remained silent.
-
The next morning, Zhang Yun got up early and prepared breakfast.
Fu Siyan and Feng Yuncheng really did stay up all night in the courtyard last night.
Jiang Wenjin and Wen Jingxi woke up with a hangover, but the two who drank the most were completely fine.
This person's alcohol tolerance is truly something else.
Zhang Yun prepared a Chinese breakfast: millet porridge with some side dishes and steamed buns, which was appetizing and nutritious.
During the meal, Fu Siyan glanced at the shredded potatoes in front of him, his dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a flick of his chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetable.
Sitting in his baby chair, Xiao Nian'an picked out the shredded potatoes that Shen Qingshu had given him.
Xiao Anning saw this and said, "Xiao Nian'an, you can't be picky about food!"
Xiao Nian'an stared at her, her little brows furrowing. "I won't eat!"
Zhang Yun hurriedly explained, "Xiao Nian'an doesn't eat potatoes. It's not that she's picky; she just has a natural physiological aversion to potatoes."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan paused in his eating and turned to look at Xiao Nian'an.
