Chapter 743 Dad became a memory, residing in their little minds.
Three days after Qi Yue and Gong Xinyue left.
Shen Anning and her two sons never leave the house.
For the past three days, the twins have been crying suddenly every night, and the whole family has been waking up to take turns comforting them.
Shen Anning had just been discharged from the hospital after recovering from her illness. After two days of this ordeal with her two children, she was sleep-deprived and developed a low-grade fever on the third day.
Qin Yancheng personally brought a doctor to Shen Anning's home to treat her.
The lungs are in relatively good condition; it's just that the body is too weak and emotional stress has caused the low-grade fever.
Physical weakness can be treated, but if it's caused by emotions, then one can only rely on calming down and self-regulating.
But Shen Anning said she was fine, so no one could say anything to comfort her.
A week later, the twins calmed down and gradually adapted to life at the Lijiang Villa and the kindergarten.
Seeing that her two sons were getting better, Shen Anning's tense nerves relaxed a lot.
She started going back to work and personally picked up and dropped off her two children from school every day. Compared to before, she spent more time with her two sons.
Her family knows that she feels guilty towards her two children, which is why she tries to spend as much time with them as possible.
Therefore, they stopped competing with Shen Anning to pick up and drop off the children.
Life seemed to return to normal.
Qi Yue's departure seemed to become a taboo for the Fu family. From that day on, no one mentioned Qi Yue anymore, and even the two young children stopped asking why their father hadn't come back yet.
They were still very young, but they seemed to vaguely understand something.
They knew that their father hadn't called their mother in a very long time;
They knew that their mother had moved with them to their maternal grandparents' house;
They knew that their mother would secretly wipe away her tears at night, and they also knew that the person who made their mother secretly wipe away her tears was their father;
So, they stopped asking where their father went?
It's like Dad really grew wings and flew away.
Where did Daddy fly off to?
They don't know, and they can't ask.
Dad seems to have become a memory, residing in their little minds.
...
That day, Shen Anning had something come up and was unable to pick up her two children from school on time.
My uncle, Fu Nian'an, came to pick me up.
On the way back, Fu Nian'an drove the car, with the twin brothers sitting in their car seats in the back.
Chenchen is quite talkative. Although he often cries and fusses, when he's not, his little mouth is very sweet, and none of the elders in the family have escaped being coaxed by his sweet words.
At this moment, Chenchen looked at her uncle driving, her little hand still clutching the hawthorn candy her uncle had given her, and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, are you and Mommy twins too?"
Fu Nian'an glanced at her nephew through the rearview mirror, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Yes."
"So you're the same age as your mom?"
"Yes, we are the same age, but I am the older brother because I was born a minute earlier than your mother."
“I was born a little earlier than Chenchen, so I’m the older brother,” Zhizhi said proudly.
Fu Nian'an smiled, "Yes, our Zhizhi is also an older brother."
Listening to their conversation, Chenchen blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Then why is it that Mom is married and has children, but Uncle, you don't even have a wife?"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
"I overheard my grandparents chatting the other day, and they said that my uncle is so old and still hasn't found a wife, probably because he doesn't like girls. How strange!"
Fu Nian'an: "?"
How can the elderly couple talk about anything in front of their two children!
"Uncle just hasn't met the person he wants to marry yet." Fu Nian'an secretly complained about his parents while explaining to his two nephews, "Marriage is something you do with someone you like, and liking someone depends on fate."
Upon hearing this, Chenchen asked, "So, when Mom and Dad got married, they liked each other, right?"
Fu Nian'an paused.
Zhizhi nodded and added, "Daddy and Mommy used to kiss a lot, Daddy would hug Mommy often, and even when Daddy was drunk, he would hug Mommy and say he loved her!"
Chenchen frowned, his little face falling. "Daddy loves Mommy so much, why would he make her cry?"
Hearing this, Zhizhi frowned, looking very distressed. "I don't know either... Dad hasn't come home in a long time. He doesn't call us, and Mom doesn't call him either. Does Dad not want us anymore?"
"Fine, I don't want it then!" Chenchen said defiantly. "I don't want a bad dad who makes Mom secretly cry!"
Fu Nian'an tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly.
Hearing his two nephews' conversation, he felt a mix of emotions.
In fact, the greatest revenge against Qi Yue would be to make the two children disown them and hate Qi Yue.
But the child is innocent.
They are still young and shouldn't have to pay the price for adults' grudges.
Children are young, and the words and actions of adults are their whole world. What adults want them to see determines what their world will look like.
Healthy and happy children should grow up in a relaxed and pleasant environment.
Fu Nian'an pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said to the two children, "Your father and mother naturally got married because they loved each other. Because they loved each other, you were born. You came into this world with the joint expectations of your father and mother. You are the proof of their love and the most beautiful symbol."
A four-year-old child cannot fully understand what Fu Nian'an is saying.
But they probably understood that their uncle meant that their father and mother liked each other.
Chenchen asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "If Daddy loves Mommy, then why does he make Mommy cry?"
“Mom’s tears might be because she, like you, misses Dad who’s abroad.” Fu Nianan paused, then gave an example they could understand: “Just like you cry when you miss your parents, do you understand?”
Chenchen suddenly realized, "So, Mom cried because she missed Dad, not because she hated Dad, and Dad didn't abandon us, right?"
Fu Nian'an pursed her lips and responded.
Chenchen was immediately overjoyed, clapping his hands and saying, "Great! I'll go home and immediately ask Mom to call Dad. I want to tell Dad that Mom missed him so much that she secretly cried!"
"No, you can't." Fu Nian'an hurriedly said, "Chenchen, remember, don't mention Dad in front of Mom recently."
Chenchen stopped clapping. "Why?"
Fu Nian'an was a little annoyed, but she could only awkwardly find an excuse to coax the children: "Because Daddy will be staying abroad for a while, if you mention Daddy, Mommy will miss Daddy and she will be unable to stop crying. Do you want Mommy to cry?"
"In no mood!"
"In no mood!"
The two children answered in unison, as if they were trying to answer a question before each other.
Fu Nian'an was very pleased and continued to guide them: "From today onwards, the two of you will have a competition to see who can resist mentioning Dad the longest. The one who can resist the longest will be the winner, and Uncle will reward the winner with a limited edition Transformer."
"Wow!" Chenchen immediately raised her hand. "I want to participate! I want to participate!"
"Me too!" Zhizhi hurriedly raised her hand. "Then, Uncle, if we keep holding back and don't mention Dad when he comes back, won't there be two winners?"
"Yes, that means if it's a draw, everyone gets a prize."
"Yay!" Zhizhi clapped her hands and said happily, "Uncle is the best!"
"Uncle, you're such a good person, you'll definitely find a wife!"
Fu Nian'an: "...Thank you."
But my uncle is really in no hurry to get married!
...
When Fu Nian'an returned home with her two children, she found that someone had come to visit.
It's Han Mingyu and Qi Mingxuan.
They brought some toys and some everyday items for the children.
It has been about ten days since Qi Yue left.
Han Mingyu and Qi Mingxuan, the grandparents, haven't seen their two grandsons for over ten days and are really missing them terribly.
Upon seeing their two grandsons, the two couldn't wait to rush over, each holding one and showering them with kisses and caresses, clearly overjoyed.
Qi Mingxuan held Chenchen in her arms, her eyes reddening: "Baby, did you miss Grandma?"
"I was thinking about it, and here you are, Grandma!"
Her sweet tongue was as charming as ever, making the elders laugh.
Qi Mingxuan smiled and then tears fell.
She quickly turned her head to wipe away her tears, sniffed, and tried to calm herself down.
Shen Qingshu sat down beside her and gently patted her back.
This silent comfort made Qi Mingxuan feel even more ashamed.
Her own son did such a terrible thing, and she, as his mother, was completely helpless. Now, she even had to rely on her aggrieved in-law, Shen Qingshu, to comfort her when she came to see her grandson. She was such a failure!
Fu Nian'an sat down on the single sofa next to her, and greeted the two elders politely: "Uncle Ming, Aunt Ming."
Han Mingyu hugged Zhizhi and responded.
"I heard from Ashu that Xiaoning had an unexpected job today, so you went to pick up the two kids." Qi Mingxuan looked at Fu Nian'an. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Aunt Ming, you're being too polite. I'm the two children's uncle, so it's only right that I take care of them."
Hearing this, Qi Mingxuan could only nod. "Yes, that's true, but if it weren't for Qi Yue... Anyway, I feel guilty and I really don't have the face to come see you. But I'm so worried about the two children, so I had no choice but to come."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an didn't know how to respond and could only look at her mother.
Shen Qingshu and Qi Mingxuan's friendship of one or two decades wouldn't fade just because of these things.
Fu Siyan's previous statement about reducing contact was just an angry outburst. The two families have been friends for over twenty years, and even if they are no longer in-laws, they can still maintain regular contact.
“If the children aren’t meant to be, don’t hold a grudge,” Shen Qingshu said. “Even if we’re not in-laws, we’re still old sisters.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan could no longer hold back and covered her face to cry.
Han Mingyu looked serious, handed his grandson Zhizhi to Fu Nian'an, and looked at Fu Siyan: "I have something to say to you alone."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan nodded slightly and stood up: "Let's go to the study on the second floor."
…
The door to the study on the second floor was closed.
Fu Siyan looked at Han Mingyu, "Did you call me up specifically because there's news from Qi Yue's side?"
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu smiled wryly and said, "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."
Fu Siyan snorted coldly, walked to the desk, sat down, and bent down to open the drawer.
Inside was a safe.
He entered the password and then unlocked it with his fingerprint; the safe opened with a "beep".
Fu Siyan took out a document from inside and slammed it on the table. "Ayin gave it to me three days before Qi Yue left the country."
Han Mingyu was taken aback.
Under Fu Siyan's gaze, he stepped forward and picked up the document.
"Old Han, we're both parents. I admit I felt sad for you two when I heard the news, but that doesn't mean I approve of Qi Yue's decision. My daughter isn't stupid. She's been his childhood sweetheart and husband and wife for four years. She can tell whether Qi Yue loves her or not, and whether his heart has changed."
Han Mingyu's hand holding the document trembled slightly.
He looked at the document, his eyes reddening terribly.
"I only found out yesterday... I still don't dare let Xiaoxuan know..."
Han Mingyu lowered his head, tears streaming down his face, staining the document and spreading out in a large patch.
Fu Siyan said, "Xiao Ning chased after Qi Yue to the airport that day. She was actually giving Qi Yue a chance, but Qi Yue insisted on his choice. So, Xiao Ning chose to respect Qi Yue."
Han Mingyu squatted down, holding the document. He was a grandfather, but he was now squatting on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Fu Siyan stood up, walked over to Han Mingyu, and squatted down.
He reached out and patted Han Mingyu on the shoulder. "Ayin sent the message yesterday. Xiao Ning and Ayin are already on their private plane flying to Country F."
Han Mingyu was stunned, then suddenly looked up, seemingly in disbelief, and wiped his face with his hand: "Really, really? Xiao Ning really still wants to see Qi Yue?"
“After all, he’s a father of two.” Fu Siyan sighed heavily. “Should Xiao Ning know that the child could still be saved but then stand by and watch him die?”
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu could no longer hold back and covered his face with his hands, tears soaking his palms.
…
Country F, private estate.
The night was hazy.
The private Chinese doctor came out of the master bedroom on the second floor and shook his head at Zhuang Yu, who was guarding outside the door.
Zhuang Yu's expression was solemn: "I understand, you can go back now."
