Chapter 216. Peaceful and stable days are the most precious.
An Xiaoyue looked at the message on her phone, thought for a moment, and then replied to Ji Yubai directly.
"President Ji, this is An Xiaoyue. Lingxi is at Fu Garden; she just fell asleep."
Ji Yubai responded quickly after the message was sent.
"I understand, sister-in-law."
An Xiaoyue stared blankly at the chat interface.
Mr. Ji, sister-in-law.
They really do call each other by their own names.
Based on her understanding of Ji Yubai, his reaction last night wasn't because he was angry that Lingxi pushed him away.
He must have been feeling bad too.
This discomfort wasn't because of Lingxi, nor because of him, but because of a sense of powerlessness.
The feeling of helplessness when you know there's a huge mountain in front of you but can't get over it and can't find a solution.
Ugh......
An Xiaoyue sighed deeply.
Seeing her friends struggling with relationship problems, she felt helpless but also a sense of relief deep down.
The beginning and falling in love between her and Fu Shengyang seemed to have gone too smoothly.
Their lives were as uneventful as still water.
Just like the stream in front of the waterside pavilion, flowing day after day, before you know it, the child has been born.
Thinking of luck, An Xiaoyue lowered her head.
Because it was a natural birth, his head is still oval-shaped.
With her chubby, round, rosy face, Lucky had already fallen asleep sometime earlier.
An Xiaoyue straightened her clothes and gently kissed Xingyun's full forehead.
She sat up, took out Lucky's special little blanket from the bedside dresser, rolled it into a long strip, and placed it around Lucky's body.
After getting her luck sorted out, An Xiaoyue tiptoed out of the bedroom.
She just spilled milk, and she smells bad, so she needs to go to the dressing room to change her clothes first.
Fu Shengyang heard her commotion in the study and came out. "Where's your luck?"
"She's asleep in bed," An Xiaoyue replied softly.
"Is he lying on his side?" Fu Shengyang was worried that his son would choke on his milk if he fell asleep without being burped.
"He's lying on his side, it's fine. I wrapped him up in a circle so he won't startle himself."
Fu Shengyang gave an "okay" sign, turned around and went out to bring Xiaoyue some extra food.
An Xiaoyue's diet was designed by a nutritionist from the postpartum recovery team, adhering to the principle of eating small, frequent meals and ensuring comprehensive nutrition.
An Xiaoyue came out after changing, and Fu Shengyang's extra meal was also brought over.
Fu Shengyang sat opposite her without moving, quietly keeping her company.
An Xiaoyue knew he was waiting, waiting for her to bring up the matter of Zhong Lingxi and Ji Yubai.
"Both of them are fine." That was all she could tell Fu Shengyang, so he wouldn't worry.
The matter involved Lingxi's private life, and she couldn't tell Fu Shengyang, even though he was her husband with whom she shared a bed.
Fu Shengyang understood what she meant and simply asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Let's wait for Lingxi to wake up first. Ji Yubai sent me a message, and I told him that Lingxi is at our house. After they meet and discuss it, we'll see if they need your help."
Ji Yubai took the initiative to contact them because he realized the matter needed to be addressed, rather than simply letting it fizzle out.
When they went out together, she didn't remember his name, only that he was Lingxi's senior.
If Lingxi is willing to reveal her senior's name, it will be much easier to find out.
Fu Shengyang: "Okay, I remember that Attorney Zhong took his annual leave this time. They have plenty of time, so they should be able to handle things well."
“Sheng Yang…” An Xiaoyue suddenly became curious about Fu Sheng Yang’s views on their marriage, “Don’t you think our lives are too boring?”
"You find it boring?" Fu Shengyang asked instead of answering, his meaning was clear: he felt pretty good.
"No," An Xiaoyue smiled.
Yes, Fu Shengyang is exhausted from business every day, so how could he have the mind and energy to have a passionate love affair with her when he gets home?
"What I mean is, our relationship seems too harmonious. There are no fierce arguments, no heartbreaking misunderstandings, and no obstacles from exes."
"What kind of life do you think would make you happy?"
Fu Shengyang didn't rush to express his thoughts; he was more concerned about Xiaoyue's feelings.
Without a second thought, An Xiaoyue said, "I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and I can do it without being affected in any way."
This carefree life is what she has lived since childhood.
It was during the two years her mother was ill that she realized that maintaining this kind of life required a lot of money and unconditional trust.
Therefore, during her pregnancy, Fu Shengyang agreed to let her intern at Zhongkangtang and supported her participation in the medical skills competition held by the school. She cherished the learning opportunities and did her best to achieve them.
Fu Shengyang's beautifully shaped lips curved into a smile. He was very grateful that the life he provided was what Xiaoyue wanted.
When talking about their marriage, Fu Shengyang recalled many things from the past.
“I remember it very clearly. When Secretary Qiao told me you were pregnant and scheduled a termination of pregnancy procedure, I was working overtime at Changfeng Group.”
An Xiaoyue nodded. She also remembered that day was chaotic and that she had cried the most since her mother fell ill.
She lost her part-time job and now has to kill her own flesh and blood.
Everything was slipping out of her control, and she felt a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't hold on to.
That must have been the lowest point in her life so far.
“I didn’t feel anything at the time. I just thought that you were pregnant and if you didn’t want it, then you shouldn’t have it.”
An Xiaoyue frowned, "You're too heartless."
"At that time, I wasn't familiar with Xiaoyue."
"What made you change your mind and have Secretary Joe come to me the next day to get married?"
"Secretary Qiao said you are an efficient solution."
An efficient solution.
That's her positioning!
An Xiaoyue was furious. She grabbed a pack of tissues from the table and threw it at Fu Shengyang. "You actually agreed to it!"
Fu Shengyang caught it easily; the boomerang came so fast.
"It was all Secretary Qiao's idea," he quickly shifted the blame, "I also asked another question."
Qiao Xun, who was working at Changfeng Group, suddenly sneezed loudly!
Qiao Xun was delighted: Who's thinking about me?
"Hmm." An Xiaoyue glanced sideways at Fu Shengyang.
It's as if it means, "If you don't say something right, I'll punish you."
“I asked him if he was smart, and he said that I was the top science student in Jincheng, just eight points away from a perfect score. Then I agreed to get the marriage certificate.”
An Xiaoyue raised her chin, "It's as if marrying me would be a disservice to you."
If she and her mother hadn't gone into hiding, as her grandfather would have said, Fu Shengyang might not have been able to marry the Leng family's darling.
Her proud and aloof demeanor made Fu Shengyang raise an eyebrow. "How could I feel wronged? Xiaoyue is my great benefactor."
He emphasized the words "great benefactor" with extra force, making it sound incredibly ambiguous.
“You…” An Xiaoyue’s mind naturally turned to their first time, and her face flushed with anger. “You have absolutely no technique, it wasn’t comfortable at all!”
After making those outrageous remarks, An Xiaoyue sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Fu Shengyang.
She shrank back, but there was absolutely no way she could take back her last truth.
"Hmph..." Fu Shengyang snorted coldly, his dark eyes as deep as the sea, mysterious and dangerous, "Thirty-six days from now, Xiaoyue, don't hide."
An Xiaoyue knew his methods; she was no longer protected by luck.
She awkwardly steered the conversation toward their marriage, asking, "Why did you agree to marry me just because you heard I had good grades?"
"Because I'm smart, I won't be bullied, and it's easy and convenient to communicate with others."
"You mean you wanted to find an easy wife from the start, so that there wouldn't be so many troubles later on?"
This was a trap, and Fu Shengyang couldn't possibly miss it. "That's what I thought at first, but not anymore. Later, I put in a lot of effort. When I was pursuing you..."
"You pursued me?" An Xiaoyue was surprised; she hadn't known. "When?"
"I......"
Just as Fu Shengyang was about to explain, An Xiaoyue interrupted him.
Her pretty face lifted, "I didn't feel it. You have to pursue me again. I want that heart-pounding feeling..."
Fu Shengyang had no choice but to comply, repeatedly agreeing, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever Xiaoyue says."
She understood what Fu Shengyang meant.
Their relationship may seem calm on the surface, but it's because of mutual acceptance and permission, because Fu Shengyang loves her more, and because Fu Shengyang has always been actively and proactively managing their marriage.
A peaceful and stable life is the most precious thing.
She enjoys the life she has with this glass of water.
