Chapter 341 The wedding will be held at the end of the month.
Shen Qingshu was somewhat surprised.
She thought that Fu Siyan would pay special attention to the first year of reuniting with his child.
He said he was busy... but on New Year's Eve, it's impossible to be busy with official business.
That must be a private matter...
Shen Qingshu had some doubts, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"Let's eat then." She led her two children to the dining table.
Zhang Yun looked at the two little ones and wondered to himself.
She clearly heard a child calling "Dad" on the phone just now.
Zhang Yun thought of Fu Siyu.
On such a day of family reunion, why isn't Mr. Fu here with his two children? Could it be that he's gone to be with that Fu Siyu again?
If that's the case, then Mr. Fu is being far too confused!
But this was just Zhang Yun's suspicion.
She dared not tell Shen Qingshu rashly, fearing that she might have misheard and cause the two, whose relationship had eased considerably, to fall into suspicion again.
Zhang Yun sighed inwardly.
Hopefully she misheard!
...
Even during the meal, Xiao Anning was still thinking about her father.
"Mom, where did Dad go?"
Shen Qingshu picked up a dumpling for her and put it in her child's bowl. "Dad is busy with something, but he'll come over to keep you company later."
“Our teacher, Xiaodie, said that the whole country has a holiday on New Year’s Eve, and everyone should go home to be with their families.” Xiao Anning pouted and said confidently, “Dad is definitely not busy with work. Did Dad secretly go to be with someone else behind our backs?”
Calmly relieved.
Xiao Anning is not easily fooled; she is simple-minded but quick-witted.
Xiao Anning was looking forward to this Lunar New Year's Eve more than in previous years.
During her afternoon nap, she excitedly said that both her parents were there for the New Year, and she was very happy.
But now that Fu Siyan isn't at the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Anning's disappointment is palpable.
Shen Qingshu felt a pang of heartache and reached out to pat her daughter's head. "Daddy wasn't with someone else; he just had something come up..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of a car came from outside.
Xiao Anning's eyes lit up, "It must be Daddy coming back!"
Before Shen Qingshu could react, Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian'an had already slipped off their chairs, their small figures scrambling towards the door.
They had just run to the door when they saw that tall, slender figure getting out of the car.
The man was tall with long legs, and his black trench coat fluttered as he walked.
"Daddy~"
"dad!"
The two children cheered and ran towards Fu Siyan.
Shen Qingshu walked out of the restaurant and stood in the entrance hall watching Fu Siyan squat down and hug the two children.
"Dad, where did you go? Why are you so late?" Little Anning wrapped her arms around her father's neck, overjoyed, but still couldn't help complaining, "I thought you secretly went to spend the New Year with other people behind our backs!"
Fu Siyan looked helpless. "Sorry, Dad is late."
"Dad, have you eaten?" Xiao Nian'an looked at her father. "We just started eating."
“Dad hasn’t eaten yet.” Fu Siyan, holding one child in each arm, stood up and walked into the house.
Once inside, he put his two children down, patted their little heads, and said, "Go sit down first, Dad will come over after I change my shoes."
The two little ones nodded and ran happily towards the restaurant.
Fu Siyan took his slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.
Shen Qingshu stood aside watching him.
He changed his shoes and stood up straight, meeting Shen Qingshu's gaze.
Shen Qingshu said, "Zhang Yun said you're not coming back for New Year's Eve dinner."
Fu Siyan pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and said, "I was planning to come back anyway, but I'll be back rather late, and I don't want to keep everyone waiting for me."
So that's how it is.
Shen Qingshu couldn't bear to disappoint her child again.
After thinking for a moment, she still asked, "Are you going to be busy these next few days?"
Fu Siyan didn't want to hide anything, so he told the truth, "I might have to go out every day from the first to the eighth day of the lunar new year."
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Is it about the company?"
"It's a private matter." Fu Siyan knew Shen Qingshu's concerns, and he assured her, "Don't worry, I will arrange my time and try to spend as much time as possible with the two children."
Since Fu Siyan said it was a private matter, Shen Qingshu didn't press him further.
“I understand that you are busy, but the children are too young to understand. This is the first time that Xiao Anning will have her father with her for the New Year, and she is especially looking forward to it. Please remember to communicate with the children in advance.”
"Okay, I will talk to the two children beforehand."
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then said, "If you're going to stay up with the kids tonight to celebrate the New Year, why don't you just stay here? It'll be past midnight by the time you finish, and it's not safe to drive in the snow."
Fu Siyan looked at her, his eyes deep, and said, "Okay."
...
We ate our New Year's Eve dinner until 8 p.m.
Fireworks across the country began to burst into bloom.
Fu Siyan made ample preparations well in advance this year.
He spent five million yuan to create a fireworks show on the banks of the Lijiang River.
It will bloom precisely at 12 o'clock.
A few days ago, giant screen advertisements on various buildings in the northern part of the city began to announce the news.
Therefore, more people want to celebrate the New Year at Lijiang this year than in previous years.
At Lijiang Villa, everyone went to the rooftop to watch the fireworks show.
As soon as midnight struck, explosions resounded through the sky—
A spectacular display of fireworks lit up the sky above Lijiang!
The fireworks, worth over five million yuan, were custom-designed and came in a variety of styles.
The display lasted for more than ten minutes. At the end, a row of large characters appeared in the night sky: "May peace and tranquility accompany A-Shu throughout her life, free from illness and disaster, and filled with peace and joy!"
Anning refers to Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian'an.
May you be free from illness and disaster, and enjoy peace and happiness.
That's all a person can ask for in this life.
Shen Qingshu stared at those words. Although they only lingered in the night sky for a few seconds, they left a deep impression on her heart.
She turned her head and looked at the man beside her.
He was holding his two children, and as if sensing her gaze, he looked down at her.
Snowflakes were falling from the night sky.
They looked at each other.
More peaceful than ever before.
The night was too dark, and the man concealed his deep affection in his eyes, only whispering, "Ah Shu, Happy New Year."
Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Daddy!" Little Anning hugged Fu Siyan's neck and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Daddy, you have to spend every New Year with us from now on!"
A warm feeling washed over Fu Siyan as he looked at his daughter, his eyes glistening with tears.
In a deep voice, on the first day of the new year, he made a solemn promise to his young daughter: "Okay, Daddy promises you."
Xiao Nian'an touched her mother's face and said, "Happy New Year, Mom."
Shen Qingshu held his small hand and kissed it. "Happy New Year, baby."
"Sweetie, there's one more here!" Little Anning, not wanting to be left out, held out her little hand to her mother. "Mommy, Happy New Year! Little Anning will always love Mommy the most!"
When it comes to coaxing people, it has to be Xiao Anning's sweet talk.
Shen Qingshu chuckled softly, took her daughter's little hand in her other hand, kissed it, and said in a soft voice, "Happy New Year, our lovely little Anning!"
This was the first time the family of four had spent New Year's Eve together, and they enjoyed a warm and happy new year.
At least for this moment, they were content.
…
At one o'clock in the morning, the whole country gradually quieted down.
Back inside, everyone went to their rooms to rest.
The two children insisted on sleeping with their parents.
it's out of the question.
Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan explained to the two children for a long time before finally persuading them to each follow one of the children.
Little Anning clung to her father.
Xiao Nian'an then followed her mother.
After saying goodnight to each other, they each took one of their children back to their rooms to sleep.
…
In the following days, Fu Siyan continued to come every day, but he didn't stay long.
Because the two children had been spoken to beforehand, they did not complain about Fu Siyan anymore.
After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Jianwen and Jiang Wenjin had to return to Changsha.
Although they chose not to have children, they still visit each other's parents, siblings, and other relatives.
Wen Jingxi also traveled with them.
Shen Qingshu originally thought he was going back to visit his parents, but Wen Jingxi said that after this trip, he would most likely not come back.
Shen Qingshu was surprised by this, but she could understand it.
Wen Jingxi didn't say why, but Shen Qingshu knew.
Grandpa Wen's health is not good.
Shen Qingshu personally escorted them to the airport.
At the airport, before going through security, Wen Jingxi asked Shen Qingshu, "Sister Ashu, can I hug you?"
Shen Qingshu did not answer.
She stepped forward and opened her arms to hug him.
As the older sister hugged her younger brother, she gently patted his back with the back of her hand, saying, "Come back and visit when you have time. I'll bring the two children to see you when I have time."
Wen Jingxi was reluctant to part with him, and his eyes were filled with tears.
He raised his hand to wipe his wet eyes, his tone tinged with pride: "Actually, I'm more reluctant to part with the two children than with you..."
Shen Qingshu smiled, "Then I'll pack them up and send them to you during summer vacation."
"How can you pack it up!" Wen Jingxi let go of her, his eyes red, and said, "I'll come and pick it up myself."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
It's definitely his maternal uncle.
...
After seeing off Bai Jianwen and his wife, as well as Wen Jingxi, Shen Qingshu turned around and prepared to leave.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
She paused, then turned her head to look—
Fu Siyan was dressed in a black suit, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness.
He seemed to be waiting to pick up someone.
Shen Qingshu thought they should be partners.
Since he's working, it's best not to disturb him.
Shen Qingshu turned around and had just taken a step when a group of reporters suddenly surged in front of her!
Shen Qingshu stepped aside in time to avoid being bumped by the group of reporters.
The flashes were going off rapidly—
"Mr. Qi, there's a rumor that you'll be getting married to your current boyfriend at the end of the month. Is that true?"
"Ms. Qi, would you mind revealing who your current boyfriend is?"
