Chapter 88 Extra 3: A Wife Should Be Raised from a Young Age: I Suspect Yanli Will Like Niannian in the Future
For the past few years, Fu Yanli has been sleeping with Jiang Shunian. He has watched the little dumpling grow taller and taller, his features develop and become more and more delicate and beautiful, and he has watched him grow from babbling to being able to express his love for him clearly and fluently.
Fu Yanli was deeply immersed in the joy of this nurturing relationship and enjoyed every day spent with Jiang Shunian.
Jiang Shunian was very dependent on him. Every day they would hug and kiss each other affectionately. During holidays, he would take the child on trips to see natural scenery, cultural history, and teach him a lot of knowledge.
This is the child he raised himself, and everything about him is just right.
The room next door, since its renovation and furnishing were completed, has never seen its young master set foot in it. On the contrary, Fu Yanli's room is almost filled with Jiang Shunian's things, and it no longer has the cold and orderly appearance it used to have.
So sleeping separately from Jiang Shunian will be a long and difficult process, not to mention whether Jiang Shunian will be able to adapt. Even he himself will probably have to give up for a long time.
Seeing Fu Yanli lower his eyes and remain silent, Shen Lingyi felt a pang of heartache. No one knows a son better than his mother, and she knew all too well the stubbornness in her son's personality.
Fu Yanli has always been arrogant and aloof, indifferent to everything and everyone, but then a woman appeared who pleased him every year and won his heart.
At first, she thought that there was nothing wrong with the two of them being together and keeping each other company. She thought that if the two of them had a good relationship, they could help and take care of each other, and Fu Yanli would not end up alone in his old age. Yes, Shen Lingyi thought that according to her son's personality, he would probably be a bachelor in the future.
Until one day, when she took her two children out shopping, she happened to run into a friend who was also shopping with her daughter. Her daughter had just bought a cake and, seeing that Jiang Shunian was cute, gave him a box.
It just so happened to be Jiang Shunian's favorite food. He thanked the older sister and gave her a sweet smile, which made the girl unable to resist pinching his chubby cheeks.
But after his friend left, Fu Yanli's expression changed. He took out wet wipes and face cream and cleaned all the places the girl had touched. He even coaxed her to throw away the cake and went to buy Jiang Shunian a new one.
Shen Lingyi then realized the seriousness of the problem; Fu Yanli's possessiveness towards Niannian was excessive.
If a box of cake and touching her face are so unbearable, what will happen when Jiang Shunian comes out into the world alone, makes new friends, and is no longer close to Fu Yanli?
Or... when Jiang Shunian reaches puberty and has a girl he likes, what will Fu Yanli do?
This deep possessiveness even frightened Shen Lingyi, who feared that Fu Yanli might do something extreme because of Jiang Shunian in the future.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the two were still young and Jiang Shunian was about to go to school, Shen Lingyi suggested that the two sleep in separate rooms.
She didn't dare to point it out, for fear of provoking Fu Yanli's rebellious mentality.
However, Fu Yanli was too clever; he instantly realized what Shen Lingyi meant.
In recent years, Fu Yanli has also been hesitant about whether to use mind control on Jiang Shunian to make his world revolve solely around himself, as he has the ability to do so.
But every time I see his clear eyes, his sweet smile, and his trusting gaze, my heart softens.
This is the child he raised with his own hands; he can't bear to treat him like this.
Fu Yanli pondered for a moment and replied, "I will tell Niannian."
He was still willing to take a step back, but that was all.
If she insists on sleeping with him every year, then no one can stop her.
Shen Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Fu Yanli was still rational.
Jiang Shunian was tidying up his schoolbag with Shen Boheng. The schoolbag was bought for him by his older brother and was printed with his favorite cartoon characters, which he liked very much.
Hanging on the clothes rack next to him was his school uniform for tomorrow: a navy blue short-sleeved shirt, black suit shorts, and a light blue tie, with the school badge pinned to his left breast.
Next to it is the older brother's school uniform, with the same cut, except that the older brother's is long pants.
Jiang Shunian felt happy at the thought of being able to wear the same clothes as her brother.
And if he goes to the same school as his brother, wouldn't he be able to go play with his brother after class?
Jiang Shunian is even more looking forward to school life.
After packing her schoolbag, Jiang Shunian ran to the shelf with it, deliberately placing her schoolbag next to her brother's.
Just then, Fu Yanli pushed the door open and came in. Jiang Shunian immediately ran happily towards him, pointing to her schoolbag and saying, "Brother, let's go to school together tomorrow!"
Five-year-old Jiang Shunian has grown to Fu Yanli's chest. Because she is well cared for, her fair face has a pinkish tinge, and her features are delicate. She is even more beautiful than when she was a child.
Fu Yanli instinctively picked him up and carried him to the bed, but stopped after realizing what he had done. He looked into Jiang Shunian's eyes and said gently, "Niannian, how about you sleep by yourself from now on?"
"Why?" Jiang Shunian looked at Fu Yanli with a blank and innocent expression, not understanding. He loved sleeping with his brother. His brother would tell him stories and play games with him. When he got tired, he would hug his brother and sleep. It was the happiest thing.
“Because Niannian is already a big girl, she should sleep by herself.” Fu Yanli felt his voice was strained.
Jiang Shunian felt a sharp pain in his heart, so much so that tears welled up in his eyes.
However, he was a very obedient child. His childhood experiences made Jiang Shunian very compliant and accepting of other people's arrangements, so even if he was unwilling, he would not raise any objections.
"Okay, then I'll sleep by myself." Jiang Shunian's sweet voice was tinged with tears.
Fu Yanli could tell that Jiang Shunian was unwilling. If Jiang Shunian could refuse, he would immediately go and talk to his parents, even if it meant revealing all his secrets.
But Jiang Shunian was too obedient. Even after spoiling him for several years, he still couldn't teach him to be bad and learn to refuse.
Fu Yanli had no choice but to say, "I'll coax you to sleep before I leave. You really like your room, don't you?"
Jiang Shunian refused to speak, which was his greatest form of resistance.
That night, they stayed in Jiang Shunian's room for the first time. Although it was decorated in a warm and lovely style, with all warm yellow tones, Jiang Shunian still didn't like it. He preferred his brother's bed.
Jiang Shunian simply refrained from doing so because his brother wanted him to sleep alone.
He nestled in his brother's arms, tears streaming down his face. Why didn't his brother want to sleep with him anymore? Did he not like Niannian anymore?
Fu Yanli quickly realized something was wrong and immediately pulled Jiang Shunian out of the pillow. Seeing his face covered in tears and him crying silently, Fu Yanli's heart broke.
He changed his mind.
Fu Yanli immediately made up his mind, picked him up and carried him to his room. Jiang Shunian was a little confused, staring blankly at Fu Yanli, his eyes, wet with tears, were exceptionally clear.
"elder brother?"
"Nian Nian." Fu Yanli put Jiang Shunian back on his bed and wiped away his tears. "From now on, unless you don't want to sleep with me anymore, no one can separate us."
"Really?" Jiang Shunian asked in disbelief, confirming in a low voice.
Fu Yanli nodded: "Brother guarantees it."
Jiang Shunian's eyes instantly lit up with joy, and he threw himself into Fu Yanli's arms, nuzzling against him like a koala: "I love you the most, brother! You're the best!"
Fu Yanli raised his hand to support his back, his eyes deep.
After putting Jiang Shunian to sleep, Fu Yanli quietly got out of bed and knocked on his parents' door: "Dad, Mom, may I come in?"
Fu Shizhang, who hadn't rested yet, said upon hearing this, "The door isn't locked, come in directly."
Shen Lingyi was also a little curious, as Fu Yanli had never come to see them at night before.
Fu Yanli pushed the door open and came in.
The boy, who was over 1.5 meters tall, had shed his youthful naiveté, and his features had begun to deepen. His eyes were the unique dark gold color of the Fu family, and he looked at people calmly, already exuding an aura.
“I just tried to sleep separately from Niannian, but I failed,” Fu Yanli said quietly. “I promised him that I would stay with him from now on unless he asks to sleep separately.”
Fu Shizhang was somewhat puzzled, but Shen Lingyi frowned: "A banquet, this is the best opportunity. You should know what this means. Can you really control yourself?"
“I can,” Fu Yanli promised.
If Jiang Shunian develops independent thinking or finds someone he likes in the future, he can let go.
Shen Lingyi sighed. She wasn't an unenlightened mother, but was the Fu family's fate really going to end here?
So single-player transmission is really unreliable; you can't even train a small account to do it.
"Okay, I understand. You can go back and rest."
"Thank you, Mom. I'm going now. Goodnight."
After Fu Yanli left, Fu Shizhang was puzzled and asked his wife, "What's wrong? You two were so serious just now."
“I suspect that Yanli will fall in love with Niannian in the future, the kind of love that involves romance.” Shen Lingyi had a headache. Fu Yanli’s personality was unpredictable, and this had been evident since childhood. She couldn’t change it at all. Sending Jiang Shunian away was even more impossible; Fu Yanli would go crazy, and she couldn’t bear to do it either.
Over the years, she has come to like Niannian very much.
Although Fu Shizhang found it somewhat unbelievable, he wouldn't easily refute his wife. He frowned and asked, "Can it be corrected?"
Shen Lingyi countered, "What do you think?"
The couple remained silent, unable to do anything about it.
They didn't even know how much assets Fu Yanli currently possessed.
Four years ago, he was eager to raise Jiang Shunian on his own, and four years later, he has grown up and is more capable of doing so.
If pushed too far, it's quite possible that Fu Yanli will take Jiang Shunian and live alone.
"Will he force Niannian in the future?" Fu Shizhang was very worried. Jiang Shunian was a good child who had been ruined by his own son. He felt a little sorry for him. "Should we send Niannian some more things?"
“Your son is so possessive, he prefers to use his every year.” Shen Lingyi said with a wry smile. “But judging from Yanli’s personality, if Niannian really likes someone else, he might actually let go, and we might even see Yanli get his comeuppance.”
Fu Shizhang, however, had no expectations: "When you have time, you should also guide Niannian. This child is too well-behaved. You need to teach him to say no."
Okay, I understand.
After the couple finished talking and were about to rest, Fu Shizhang suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly: "Wife, do you think that when Yanli didn't allow Shu Nian to change his surname, you had this in mind?"
If that's the case, this kid has too many schemes. He'll definitely devour you completely every year from now on.
"..." Shen Lingyi found it difficult to refute, because she thought so too.
This child is almost supernaturally intelligent!
Fu Yanli didn't care much about what his parents thought of him. When he returned to his room, he saw Jiang Shunian sleeping soundly under the warm light of a night lamp, and his expression softened unconsciously.
Although he doesn't understand the meaning of love now, if he really had to choose someone to spend the rest of his life with, his only choice would be Jiang Shunian.
But what if, years later, he really does find someone he likes, and that person isn't him...? Fu Yanli closed his eyes, and for the first time, he didn't continue thinking about it.
His gentle movement as he got into bed seemed to wake a child. Jiang Shunian, without opening her eyes, groggily snuggled into Fu Yanli's arms and mumbled, "Brother?"
"I'm here, go to sleep." Fu Yanli gently patted his back and adjusted him into a comfortable sleeping position.
Jiang Shunian's brows relaxed, and she fell asleep again in her beloved brother's arms.
The next morning, Jiang Shunian had already forgotten the sadness of the previous night. She happily washed up with her brother and went downstairs for breakfast. She was surprised to find her mother, who never got up early, at the table. She immediately ran over to greet her mother with a kiss: "Mom, good morning!"
"Good morning every year." Shen Lingyi smiled and carried him to his seat, piling up all his favorite breakfasts. Her smile was very loving, but upon closer inspection, there was also a hint of guilt.
Jiang Shunian couldn't discern such complex emotions; she only felt a little strange that her parents were being so enthusiastic today!
Fu Yanli ate his breakfast quietly, ignoring his parents' performance.
After dinner, Fu Yanli led Jiang Shunian into the car and they set off for school. Jiang Shunian, carrying her schoolbag and wearing a well-tailored school uniform, sat side by side with her brother, finding everything very new and exciting.
When they arrived at the school, Fu Yanli first took Jiang Shunian to his class. Most of the children who could attend a prestigious school were well-mannered, so Fu Yanli was not worried about Jiang Shunian being bullied, but rather about him being too popular.
Sure enough, Jiang Shunian's appearance attracted the attention of several children. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and affection as they looked at Jiang Shunian. Fu Yanli closed his eyes and told himself that he could not restrict Nian Nian's normal social interactions.
“Always wear your watch. Call me anytime if anything happens, okay?” Fu Yanli looked intently at Jiang Shunian.
“I know!” Jiang Shunian replied happily.
Fu Yanli glanced around at the little ones, making them flinch in fear, and then slowly left, still feeling uneasy.
As soon as Fu Yanli left, a group of children immediately surrounded Jiang Shunian, talking to him enthusiastically. It was the first time Jiang Shunian had been surrounded by so many peers, and he was a little embarrassed, but he still introduced himself in a generous manner.
Then Jiang Shunian gained several good friends who wanted to be his deskmate.
He originally wanted to go find his brother, but the teachers had a full schedule of activities, and Jiang Shunian didn't know where his brother was.
Around noon, Jiang Shunian's watch phone rang; it was his brother.
He quickly answered the call and at the same time looked up and saw his older brother at the classroom door. Jiang Shunian immediately ran out.
"Let's go back to the dorm and have some food."
Children at elite schools rarely eat in the cafeteria; most meals are delivered by nannies arranged by their families, and Fu Yanli is no exception.
He took Jiang Shunian's hand and walked towards his dormitory. Because he had donated money to the school, his dormitory was a single room.
Jiang Shunian curiously looked around his brother's dormitory. The dormitory was very clean and tidy, but there were several small lion dolls on the bed, which were obviously placed there by his brother.
Fu Yanli took out the food and placed it on the dining table, then called Jiang Shunian to come and eat. After seeing that all the dishes delivered today were Jiang Shunian's favorites, Fu Yanli scoffed, thinking his parents were childish.
After taking care of Jiang Shunian and having lunch, Fu Yanli casually asked, "What did you learn this morning, Nian Nian? Did you make any friends you like?"
He said he didn't care and wanted to let go, but in reality, he only persisted for a morning before starting to inquire.
