“Wait for me. I’ll go upstairs to change.”


  Since she had just woken up, Qiao Jiusheng was still wearing her pajamas.

  Fang Yuqing nodded. When she saw Qiao Jiusheng get up and walk upstairs, she carried her bag and followed her.

  Qiao Jiusheng turned around and confusedly looked at Fang Yuqing. “Qingqing, you’re coming up too?”


  Fang Yuqing asked, “Can I?”


  In the past, Brother Yusheng did not like it when anyone went upstairs, especially on the third floor. That was a restricted area. The last time, when her parents celebrated their birthday, Fang Yuqing had dragged her female celebrity friend into Fang Yusheng’s room, which would have been coincidental. She only dared to ask this time because Fang Yusheng was not around.

  If Fang Yusheng were around, Fang Yuqing would not dare to make such a rash request.

  Qiao Jiusheng nodded and smiled. “Go ahead.” She led Fang Yuqing upstairs and said as they walked, “Since you’re here, I’ll show you your brother’s room that’s full of cotton linen shirts.” Qiao Jiusheng did not like Fang Yusheng’s clothes. They looked like mourning clothes.

  Fang Yuqing did not seem to be listening to Qiao Jiusheng. Her head was lowered the entire time she followed Qiao Jiusheng upstairs.

  Pushing open the door, Qiao Jiusheng said, “Feel free to look around. I’ll go and change.”


  Fang Yuqing perked up and silently admired Brother Yusheng’s bedroom.

  Fang Yusheng’s room was just as she had imagined. It looked antique, and she could even vaguely smell sandalwood.

  Qiao Jiusheng wore a black cloak that hung off her shoulders. She then put on a bright red high-waisted A-shaped skirt with a black bow belt around her waist. After that, she wrapped her long legs in black tights along with a pair of black boots that reached her knees.

  She looked beautiful in this.

  Qiao Jiusheng carefully chose a thick coat that could both keep her warm and maintain her beauty. At this moment, Fang Yuqing’s voice suddenly rang behind her.

  “Sister-in-law.”


  Holding a short white fur coat in her hand, Qiao Jiusheng turned around and looked at Fang Yuqing.

  Fang Yuqing bit her lip. Her expression was filled with uneasiness. She looked extremely uneasy.

  “Sister-in-law, I…” Fang Yuqing clearly had something big in her heart. However, because she could not say it, she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

  Qiao Jiusheng hurriedly hung the clothes back on the clothes rack. Then, she quickly walked to Fang Yuqing, grabbed her hand, and brought her to a chair by the window where she could sit down.

  “Don’t be anxious. Don’t be afraid. Tell me if you have anything to say.” Qiao Jiusheng’s tone was filled with comfort.

  Fang Yuqing’s nervousness subsided a little.

  She clutched the small bag in her hand and lowered her head to make preparations.

  Fang Yusheng’s tea set was on the bay window in the bedroom. Qiao Jiusheng took it and poured a cup of tea for Fang Yuqing. She walked back with the teacup. When she was about to pass it to Fang Yuqing, the girl in front of her suddenly raised her head. “I’m pregnant.”


  The green teacup in Qiao Jiusheng’s hand fell to the ground and spun around.

  The tea flowed along Qiao Jiusheng’s feet.

  Qiao Jiusheng did not move.

  “You…” Qiao Jiusheng blinked, but pretended to be calm. She asked Fang Yuqing, “Whose?”


  Fang Yuqing’s eyes slowly turned red. “I had a boyfriend a while ago. He… I like him a lot, but we’ve already broken up.” as Fang Yuqing spoke, she couldn’t help but cry. She was still a little girl after all. Ever since she didn’t have her menstrual cycle last week, she had a suspicion. Two days ago, she had verified it. The two lines on the test had frightened her.

  These days, she could not eat or drink. It was not easy for her to make it until Saturday. That was why she couldn’t wait to find Qiao Jiusheng early in the morning.

  She did not dare to tell anyone else about this.

  Logically speaking, she could go and find her second Sister-in-law. However, subconsciously, Fang Yuqing did not like her second Sister-in-law. Instead, this sister-in-law of an unknown origin made her feel more at ease.
