Chapter 33 Jiang Shunian's Growth Fu Yanli's voice echoed in the night...
Jiang Shunian was caught off guard and was kissed squarely.
He instinctively reached out to push the person away, but Fu Yanli grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the pillow, preventing him from moving.
At first, Jiang Shunian was a little annoyed. How could Fu Yanli kiss her without warning? But soon, after experiencing the pleasure of kissing, the young body went from resistance to acceptance.
Unlike his restraint during the day, the kiss was deep and intense.
The two restrained their movements and sounds, afraid of waking Nuonuo, but their breaths mingled and their temperature rose higher and higher. When Fu Yanli's hand slid down, Jiang Shunian suddenly woke up and quickly twisted her body to refuse.
Fu Yanli's breathing was heavy, and his eyes, even in the darkness, revealed a deep longing. Jiang Shunian seemed to be burned, turning her face away, not daring to look at him, and said in a breathy voice, "Alright, alright."
“But you already…” Fu Yanli replied in a low voice, pecking at his ear and neck, trying to coax Jiang Shunian to continue.
Of course he's a normal 26-year-old man. He would definitely be excited to be kissed like that, but he was in a lot of pain that night, and there was nothing at home.
Moreover, his feelings for Fu Yanli hadn't reached that point yet.
It might sound like a jerk thing, but it's Jiang Shunian's first relationship, so he naturally has to be very cautious.
“It’s okay, I don’t want to right now,” Jiang Shunian replied.
Seeing that Jiang Shunian was unmoved, Fu Yanli could only sigh softly, his tone helpless yet indulgent: "Alright, whatever you say, let's each go to the restroom to take care of things?"
"Okay, you can go outside."
So the two adults tiptoed out of bed. Fu Yanli went to the guest bathroom outside, but Jiang Shunian locked the door immediately after Fu Yanli left.
Fu Yanli has lost all credibility with him. He's the kind of person who can come four times a night—or even more. What good is going to the bathroom once? When he comes back, he'll still get excited when they touch each other. So, is he even going to sleep tonight?
It's safer to sleep separately.
Just thinking about Fu Yanli's bewildered expression when he came back and couldn't open the door made Jiang Shunian cover her mouth and chuckle.
The joy of the successful prank made Jiang Shunian not need to deal with it; she simply went to the bathroom to wash her face and calmed down.
He got into bed, and Nono was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what the two wicked adults had done to him while he slept.
Jiang Shunian's heart softened. His precious child had grown up so much, and he really wanted to watch him grow up forever.
Because of the recent ordeal, Jiang Shunian was full of energy and not cold at all. Nuonuo next to him was also a little heater, so it was warm and comfortable for him to sleep against her.
Jiang Shunian didn't go to sleep immediately, but waited for a while. It wasn't until half an hour later that she heard Fu Yanli turn the doorknob.
Jiang Shunian was laughing so hard in bed that he was shaking.
Soon, a message came in on my phone; it was from Fu Yanli.
Fu Yanli: Shu Nian, let me in.
Jiang Shunian put his phone on silent and started typing: Go sleep in the guest room and don't open the door. I'm going to sleep.
Fu Yanli's handsome features revealed helplessness. He could have found a spare key, but tonight's kiss made him lose credibility, and he began to doubt his self-control.
But Jiang Shunian was too attractive to him; he simply couldn't control himself. So all he could reply was: Okay. Shunian, I'll miss you. Goodnight.
Words can sometimes strike a chord with the heart more directly than spoken words. The moment the phrase "I miss you" was uttered, Jiang Shunian's heart began to flutter uncontrollably.
He put his arm over his eyes, unable to control his feelings for Fu Yanli.
Once he has accumulated enough affection, he can establish a romantic relationship or even marriage with Fu Yanli.
The process of building up feelings also brought Jiang Shunian joy.
Jiang Shunian fell asleep without realizing it. He woke up later than Nuonuo the next day. When he opened his eyes, he met Nuonuo's questioning eyes: "Daddy, where's Uncle?"
“Uh…” Jiang Shunian didn’t know what excuse to make up to deal with the naive Nuonuo. Fortunately, there was a knock on the door and Fu Yanli’s voice came from outside: “Shunian, are you awake? I made breakfast.”
Jiang Shunian seized the opportunity to find an excuse: "Uncle went to make us breakfast."
Nono, without a second thought, immediately responded enthusiastically: "Daddy's the best!"
After saying that, he was about to slide off the bed to open the door, but Jiang Shunian caught him with quick reflexes and pulled him back; the door was still locked.
After taking Nuonuo to the bathroom to wash up, Jiang Shunian unlocked the door. Fu Yanli was still outside. Upon seeing Jiang Shunian, he smiled and asked, "Shunian, did you sleep well last night?"
“Of course, I definitely sleep better when I sleep with Nuonuo.” Jiang Shunian deliberately asked Fu Yanli, “And Mr. Fu?”
"I can't sleep alone," Fu Yanli replied seriously.
This earned him a glare from Jiang Shunian.
This was the first time Jiang Shunian had eaten food cooked by Fu Yanli, and it was unexpectedly delicious. He was indeed a prodigy, and even cooking was a piece of cake for him.
After breakfast, Fu Yanli didn't rush to leave. Instead, he said to Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, you'll be starting school in less than a month. You'll be a big girl then. I heard that kindergarten children sleep by themselves. Would Nuonuo like to try?"
Jiang Shunian immediately realized that Fu Yanli had actually started his attack on Nuonuo.
Nono thought about it carefully. Indeed, children will sleep on their own when they grow up. Although he was very attached to Jiang Shunian, he knew that he couldn't sleep with his father forever.
"Then I'll sleep by myself tonight." Nono was successfully fooled.
Jiang Shunian wanted to stop it, but suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he and Nuonuo had always slept together. The house was small, and the other reason was that the father and son only had each other and relied on each other.
Therefore, Nuonuo's personality lacks independence and she values her family too much, which is why she was deceived by Qin Lang.
It was his fault. A trace of regret flashed across Jiang Shunian's eyes. If only he could raise Nuonuo to be an independent and strong child.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Shunian had no reason to object: "Nuonuo is great, she'll definitely be able to sleep by herself!"
Nuonuo was even happier after being praised, and he couldn't wait for night to fall asleep so he could perform the act of falling asleep independently.
Fu Yanli's motives were indeed impure. It was not only to help Nuonuo become independent, but also to make it easier to do bad things at night. However, seeing Jiang Shunian's thoughtful expression, he realized that he was thinking about his previous life.
"Shu Nian, don't worry, we have plenty of time."
Jiang Shunian looked at Fu Yanli and saw that he was as calm as a mountain, so he slowly relaxed.
Yes, this life is very different; he still has Fu Yanli.
After Fu Yanli went to work, Jiang Shunian took out a laptop and looked through the emails Zhao Yuanzhou had sent him.
Most of the companies that invited Nuonuo to participate were children's products, including milk powder, toys, and daily necessities. Jiang Shunian had done a lot of research on raising Nuonuo and naturally knew which brands were of good quality, so he quickly chose a shower gel to collaborate on an advertisement.
Nuonuo has been using this shower gel since he was little. It comes in many scents, but Jiang Shunian thinks the peach scent is the best. Every time he bathes Nuonuo, he feels like Nuonuo is a sweet and fragrant peach, and he wants to take a bite of his soft little arm.
"Nono, shall we film a shower gel commercial?" Jiang Shunian discussed with Nono.
Nono leaned over to look, and upon seeing the familiar brand, immediately said, "Daddy, I'm using this shower gel."
“That’s right.” Jiang Shunian laughed. “Nono is very capable; this brand also approached us for cooperation.”
Nuonuo leaned against Jiang Shunian and said happily, "Then I'll film this commercial with Daddy."
After Jiang Shunian made his selection, he sent a message to his agent, Zhao Yuanzhou. Zhao Yuanzhou replied with "OK" shortly afterward, indicating that he would discuss the cooperation with the other party.
Afterwards, Jiang Shunian flipped through the script again and found that many of them were inviting Nuonuo to play the male lead's childhood role.
Jiang Shunian was curious whether Nuonuo had inherited his acting talent, so he gave Nuonuo a script: "Nuonuo, come here, see if you can act out this script for Daddy?"
Nuonuo, who always granted Jiang Shunian's requests, immediately nodded in agreement.
He recognized all the words in this dialogue. It was about how the male protagonist was abandoned by his father when he was a child, and how he clung to his father's clothes, crying and begging him not to abandon him and his mother.
After memorizing it, Nuonuo began to act, but after a long time, no tears came out. He could only tug at Jiang Shunian's clothes and pretend to cry: "Daddy, don't abandon us, I will be good—"
Jiang Shunian couldn't help but laugh.
So Nuonuo can't act? Her lines and expressions are just too cute.
However, it's also possible that he never learned it, after all, King Nono is omnipotent.
After finishing her lines, Nuonuo felt a little embarrassed and buried her face in Jiang Shunian's arms, pleading in a soft, coquettish voice, "Daddy, don't laugh at me."
"Okay, I won't laugh. If Nuonuo learns how to act, she'll definitely be a better actress than her dad."
Nuonuo really had no interest in acting, so Jiang Shunian communicated with Zhao Yuanzhou and rejected all the film and television offers.
During the day, Jiang Shunian memorized his lines, and in the evening he cooked dinner and waited for Fu Yanli to come back to eat. They were starting to feel more and more like a family of three.
After Nuonuo finished learning about finance from Fu Yanli and took a bath, she consciously went to the children's room.
Shen Boheng has already decorated the children's room here, making it warm and lovely, like a fairy tale world.
Jiang Shunian followed Nuonuo into the room and saw Nuonuo easily climb onto the bed, lift the blanket and crawl inside. She even picked up a Rubik's Cube and started playing with it. Her little fingers moved quickly, and she could solve the Rubik's Cube in just a few seconds.
It's a visual treat.
Jiang Shunian asked worriedly, "Nono, are you really sure you can do it yourself?"
Perhaps this is a common problem for fathers: even though they know their children need independence, they still can't bear to leave their little ones alone in their rooms.
"It's okay, Dad, I can do it," Nuonuo said confidently. Suddenly remembering something, she said to Fu Yanli, "Uncle, Dad might not be used to sleeping alone tonight. Can you stay with Dad?"
Nono is a very sensitive child. He can always sense that his father is relying on him, which is why he is worried.
Having achieved his goal, Fu Yanli smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Nuonuo, I will stay with him."
Jiang Shunian couldn't refute it directly, so he could only agree for the time being.
After coming out and closing the door, Jiang Shunian immediately said, "I'll sleep by myself tonight. You can either sleep in the guest room or upstairs."
Fu Yanli chose the former: "I will sleep in the guest room, but not in Shu Nian's room. If you can't sleep, you can come to me. I won't close the door."
“Impossible,” Jiang Shunian said confidently.
He slept alone the night before last, so there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to sleep at home.
However, the truth is that he suffered from insomnia.
Last night, I had my warm and cozy Nuonuo beside me, and the air felt like it had a sleep aid, making it easy for me to fall asleep. But now, the huge room is empty, and the blankets are cold.
Jiang Shunian tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
He clearly realized that Nono was an independent individual separate from his existence, and he could not stay with Nono forever.
He mentally cursed Fu Yanli for being cunning and wished he could drag him out and beat him up.
But if they just slunk off to Fu Yanli's room, wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted?
Jiang Shunian closed her eyes, trying to drift off to sleep, when there was a knock on the door. Fu Yanli's voice was incredibly alluring in the night: "Shunian, do you need me?"
