Chapter 894 Having a child late in life
Fu Nianjin read every email Feng Siyu sent carefully.
They replied to each and every letter.
Each email consisted of just a few brief sentences from Feng Siyu.
They said some very ordinary, everyday things.
Fu Nianjin knew that Feng Siyu was letting her know he was safe.
He knew Fu Nianjin would worry, both because she was suffering from missing him too much and because she was so concerned about his safety on the front lines that she couldn't eat or sleep.
So even though Fu Nianjin didn't reply, Feng Siyu still sent an email every day without fail.
After replying to those emails, Fu Nianjin sent Feng Siyu an email at the end.
In the email, she told Feng Siyu that she was pregnant, the baby was three months along, and her family knew about it. They hoped that Feng Siyu would take good care of himself on the front lines and return safely for her and the baby's sake.
The email has been sent.
Fu Nianjin awaited Feng Siyu's reply.
Thus, this matter has finally come to a relatively satisfactory conclusion.
...
With Fu Nianjin's matter resolved satisfactorily, Fu Nian'an and Le Yan were finally able to return to their little home with peace of mind.
On the way back, Le Yan asked Fu Nian'an who Feng Siyu was.
Fu Nian'an briefly explained Feng Siyu's background to her.
After hearing this, Le Yan couldn't help but sigh, "So, it seems like our parents have been raising other people's children all along?"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Although this sounds a bit absurd, it seems to be the truth.
"However, seeing my parents like this, I suddenly gained a lot of confidence in myself."
Fu Nian'an paused, her gaze fixed on the road ahead, and glanced at Le Yan: "Why do you say that?"
"Look, Mom and Dad can raise Niannian so well, just like their own daughter, so I think I can too!"
Fu Nian'an paused.
There was a crossroads ahead, and the red light was on.
Fu Nian'an slowly brought the car to a stop.
He turned to look at Le Yan, "You want to adopt a child?"
Le Yan nodded. "I think it would be more lively and warm at home if there was a child, but at the earliest, I'll have to wait until I finish my studies."
“Then we can’t consider it for at least three years,” Fu Nian’an said.
“We can first provide financial assistance to some welfare institutions, and then see if there are any suitable children,” Le Yan said. “Adopting a child is also about fate.”
"Okay, sure." Fu Nian'an reached out and ruffled her hair. "But I haven't had enough time for just the two of us yet, and you're planning to go back to school soon. Let's not rush into having children, at least not for the next three years, okay?"
“Not considering it within three years…” Le Yan did the math, looked at Fu Nian’an, and honestly reminded him, “That means you won’t be able to become a father until you’re 35!”
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Le Yan added insult to injury: "Any later, and it would be considered having a child late in life, right?"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
"But as long as you're okay with it, I'm fine with anything!" Le Yan laughed. "It's adoption after all!"
Fu Nian'an pinched the tip of her nose. "You're getting more and more mischievous now. You're not old at 35. I can still make you cry and beg me when I'm seventy."
Le Yan: "..."
As expected, men are most susceptible to stimulation; their competitive spirit is something most people can't handle!
Le Yan's careless words resulted in her being carried into the master bedroom by Fu Nian'an without even turning on the lights when she got home.
The two of them had barely rested these past few days because of Fu Nianjin's matter. Fu Nianan was still full of energy at the moment, and first he forced Le Yan to take a bath together in the bathroom.
After taking a bath together, I took her to experience the joy of being human in every corner of the master bedroom.
It wasn't until late at night that Fu Nian'an finally took pity on Le Yan and let her go.
Le Yan was exhausted and fell asleep with tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.
Fu Nian'an held her and fell asleep contentedly.
…
The next day, when Le Yan woke up, Fu Nian'an was no longer by her side.
She glanced at the time and realized it was already noon!
There was a note on the bedside table, a message from Fu Nian'an to her.
I'm going to the company, I'll come back at noon to have lunch with you.
As Le Yan looked at the man's flamboyant handwriting on the note, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Fu Nian'an should be back around this time.
Le Yan threw off the covers, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, she changed into comfortable loungewear, opened the door, and came out.
The aroma of food wafted from the living room.
The sounds of Aunt Luo cooking could be heard coming from the kitchen, along with the faint sounds of conversation.
"Yangyang doesn't like ginger, so use less and use white pepper instead..."
Le Yan frowned slightly; it sounded like Shen Qingshu's voice?
She walked toward the kitchen.
Just then, Shen Qingshu came out carrying a plate of freshly steamed red grouper.
Seeing Le Yang, Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "Yang Yang, you're up! Perfect timing, the food is almost ready, we can eat now."
Le Yan obediently called out, "Mom."
Shen Qingshu placed the red-spotted bird's nest on the dining table, walked over, and looked at her gently. "Nian'an has a lunch appointment at the last minute, so she asked me to come and keep you company. You don't mind, do you?"
"Mom, I'm so happy you could come and keep me company, how could I mind?" Le Yan said with a sweet smile. "I just don't know if it's been too much of a hassle for you."
“Mom is free now, how could it be a delay?” Shen Qingshu said with a smile. “Besides, you’ve been filming for half a year and finally got a break to come home. As your mother-in-law, I can’t wait to spend more time with you! It’s just that I made you worry about Niannian a few days ago, and I feel a little guilty about that.”
Le Yan felt a warmth in her heart. Looking at Shen Qingshu with sincere eyes, she said, "Mom, you've already said we're family. Let's not use these formal terms anymore, okay?"
"Good, good, I'm so glad you said that."
Aunt Luo left after she finished cooking.
Only Shen Qingshu and Le Yan remained at home.
Throughout the meal, Shen Qingshu kept serving food to Le Yan.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about everyday things, and Le Yan asked Fu Nianjin if she had gotten in touch with Feng Siyu.
Shen Qingshu said, "We've made contact. The couple agreed that once Feng Siyu's situation stabilizes, he will apply for leave from his superiors to return to China and get their marriage certificate with Niannian."
"Will Feng Siyu stay with the peacekeeping force from now on?" Le Yan asked.
“Siyu has his own ambitions, and Niannian understands him. She is willing to take care of their little family with the child. As a mother, I feel sorry for Niannian, but this is Niannian’s own choice. As family members, we can only try our best to accompany and support her in life.”
Upon hearing this, Le Yan nodded.
Everyone has their own thoughts and pursuits. Le Yan doesn't think she has the same vision as Fu Nianjin. She imagines what it would be like if Fu Nianan went to the front lines...
No, she simply can't handle that kind of pressure.
Upon reflection, Le Yan felt a deep sense of admiration for Fu Nianjin!
...
After finishing their meal, Le Yan and Shen Qingshu cleaned up the table together.
Although Shen Qingshu has no shortage of nannies in her life, she will also do these daily housework herself when she is in the mood.
In the kitchen, the dishwasher starts up.
Le Yan wiped the dining table with a rag.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a comfortable and warm relationship, and quickly cleaned up the dining table and kitchen.
Afterwards, Shen Qingshu pulled Le Yan to sit down on the sofa. "Yan Yan, there's no one else here right now. Mom has something I want to tell you."
