Chapter 114 What to Pay Attention to When Pursuing Your Girlfriend
After completing the formalities, An Xiaoyue was too tired, so she told An Jiaren that she was going back to Shuixieju to rest.
Fu Shengyang had been waiting for her to return in the living room of Shuixie Residence, his dark eyes fixed worriedly on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
An Xiaoyue's figure passed through the moon gate and appeared at the waterside pavilion. She then got up and went out to greet her.
He stood in the entryway and saw her walking unsteadily, her body swaying, and her hands hanging limply at her sides.
Fu Shengyang stopped and did not disturb her. He took out her indoor shoes and put them away, then stood aside and waited for her.
It took her almost ten minutes to walk the distance that was only a few steps.
An Xiaoyue's eyes were empty, as if her soul had been abducted halfway. Her watery eyes were filled with tears that formed a line.
Its pitiful appearance was like that of a kitten abandoned in winter, completely unable to survive the freezing cold.
Fu Shengyang gently hugged her, and she murmured, "I want to sleep."
He had no choice but to let her go, swallowing back the words of comfort he had been given.
Behind her, An Jiaren looked at Xiaoyue with a sad expression.
She followed Xiaoyue until her daughter entered the entrance hall of Shuixie Residence, then nodded to Fu Shengyang and turned to leave.
ah~
Fu Shengyang watched An Jiaren's departing figure and sighed silently. He then turned to chase after An Xiaoyue, who had already gone up the stairs.
He silently followed behind An Xiaoyue, protecting her, afraid that she might slip and fall.
An Xiaoyue went upstairs, stood by the bed, slowly took off her coat and trousers, lifted the quilt and lay down.
Fu Shengyang stood by the bed, without saying a word.
The long bulge on the bed made no sound.
He stood there for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
Fu Shengyang returned with a thermos and soft tissues. He heard her sobbing as soon as he reached the door of the room.
He placed the thermos and water between the two pillows and said softly, "I'm in the study. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he went out.
But after he went to the study, he tiptoed back to the door of the room.
He was afraid that An Xiaoyue would feel uncomfortable if she knew he was there, so he pretended to be in the study.
Fu Shengyang sat down on the ground and opened a book that taught parents how to raise boys to begin studying.
An Xiaoyue stayed in her bedroom all day, her eyes red and silent.
Fu Shengyang brought all her food and drinks upstairs and took care of her.
She didn't come downstairs until noon the next day.
On the other side, after An Jiaren returned to Hongshan Hall from Shuixieju, she sat there blankly for a while before taking out her phone to buy a plane ticket to Jincheng on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
She bought the plane ticket on the app, saw the bank deduction notification, and then clicked on the text message.
With little money left, she transferred most of it to Xiaoyue's account as her tuition and living expenses for the new year.
After Lucky was born, she wanted to transfer even more money to Xiaoyue.
Even after Xiaoyue gets married and has children, she is still her precious child.
The Fu family's wealth belongs to the Fu family. Before Xiaoyue earns her own money, she should also contribute to supporting her grandson. This is something she, as a grandmother, should do for her daughter and grandson.
She must not let the hardships and difficulties she experienced be repeated in her child.
She exited the text messaging app and saw an unread message from an unknown number.
May the new year bring you a happy and healthy life.
The text message was sent at midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
There wasn't even a salutation. I don't know if it was sent by a student I taught, or if someone sent it by mistake.
She hadn't stood on the podium for over two years, and Xiaoyue only reactivated her phone number after she was discharged from the hospital.
It's been a long time since we've been able to contact her, and many people probably assume she no longer uses that phone number.
An Jiaren ignored it, letting the unnamed blessing text message lie dormant among the unfamiliar messages.
She sent the flight information to Teacher Zhou, and the two discussed it and then checked in together.
With everything settled, An Jiaren got up and walked around Hongshan Hall by herself.
Seeing Xiaoyue so sad, she felt bad too.
cold home.
Leng Shi looked at the unanswered text message.
Jiaren's phone number is registered in Jincheng. Does that mean she has been living in Jincheng all these years?
Jincheng City is where Jiaren was born. Her parents adopted her from a welfare home in Jincheng.
In the first year after Jiaren disappeared, he went to Jincheng City to look for him, but he found no trace of him.
He even used his connections to ensure that the name Leng Jiaren was exclusively used by her from beginning to end.
She lived in Jincheng City, but he couldn't find any news about her.
That can only mean one thing: she changed her name.
Because he didn't know if she still had the surname Leng, he didn't give her any name.
Jiaren's lack of reply, does that mean you've already guessed it was him?
After finishing tea at the tea house on New Year's Eve, he took the opportunity of helping her get her coat to steal her phone from inside her down jacket.
He quickly called his own phone and then deleted her call history.
He was relieved that Jiaren's phone didn't even have a password.
More than 20 years have passed, and she still doesn't like using any passwords; she prefers everything to be direct and convenient.
Jiaren ignored his messages and his phone was switched off when he called. He decided to go to Jincheng City in person after the New Year.
This time, we'll directly look up his former name: Leng Jiaren.
He wanted to see what kind of life she had been living behind his back all these years.
An Xiaoyue stayed in his room for a day, sorting out his emotions and facing life.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, her mother will leave Beijing to return to Jincheng. She wants to spend the rest of the time happily with her mother.
Seeing that she had finally come downstairs, Fu Shengyang asked, "Are you feeling better? Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Everything's ready." She forced a smile, her facial muscles stiff. "I'm a little hungry. Where shall we have lunch?"
"Grandpa." Fu Shengyang was unsure of her mood, so he spoke more gently than before, and stared at her intently, observing her emotional changes.
As soon as An Xiaoyue stepped into Songtao Garden, she heard a burst of carefree laughter.
Ji Yubai was in the living room.
I don't know what happy thing she was talking about with Grandpa Fu, but she was clutching her stomach and her face was all red from laughing.
As soon as he saw the two of them coming, his smile disappeared. He braced himself on the sofa with one hand, easily leaped over it, and ran towards them.
"Oh, my dear Sheng Yang, why are you so late? I was talking to Grandpa Fu..."
Fu Shengyang's face was cold and stern as he interrupted him, "Why are you here?"
He saw An Xiaoyue behind Fu Shengyang, walked around Fu Shengyang, and stood obediently in front of An Xiaoyue.
"Hello, sister-in-law." He was very polite.
An Xiaoyue nodded in response, "Hello."
Then, he answered Fu Shengyang's question, "Grandpa Fu called my old man and asked where I bought the strawberries. I brought them to Grandpa Fu."
"Don't leave after you've delivered the goods." Fu Shengyang coldly shooed him away.
"Am I not worthy to eat a single bite of the Fu family's food?" Ji Yubai retorted angrily.
Fu Shengyang ignored his sarcastic remarks.
Ji Yu rolled his eyes; he had finally found an opportunity.
He moved closer to An Xiaoyue again, his tone extremely solicitous, "Little sister-in-law, what should I be careful about when pursuing your girlfriend?"
