Wan Lang stood behind the dining room window and looked in the direction of the Fang family’s main entrance. He saw the Eldest Young Master’s car drive in, turn the corner, and drive into the house.

  A few days ago, the Xie family had sent someone to the Fang family with a few turtle doves. However, Xu Pingfei was busy taking care of Fang Pingjue in the hospital, and there was no one at home, so she had not used them. It was said that a turtledove could match the nutrition of three chickens. After knowing that Qiao Jiusheng was pregnant, Butler Wan Lang carried the turtle doves to their house.

  Wan Lang stood at the entrance of their house. The door was open. Through the door, he saw Fang Yusheng instructing Qi Bufan to make a children’s swing.

  Fang Yusheng seemed to be saying something with a gentle smile.

  Wan Lang looked at him in a daze.

  He thought of some past events.

  Back then, Fang Yusheng had just lost his vision. When he was brought back to the Fang family, he gave Fang Mu a good beating. Fang Pingjue felt that his eldest son was being unreasonable, so he scolded him on the spot. After being scolded, Fang Yusheng stopped being arrogant and became silent. He locked himself in the house every day and ignored everyone. During that period, he was gloomy and lifeless.

  Wan Lang had been quite worried about him. One time, he had secretly gone to the house to visit Fang Yusheng. He saw Fang Yusheng smash his violin, the television in the hall, and the artworks on the wall. The young man sat alone in the middle of the hall, holding the broken violin strings. He buried his head between his legs and secretly cried.

  At that time, Fang Yusheng had been lonely and dispirited.

  That youth had already grown up, and his wings had matured. He was living a blissful life.

  Wan Lang had always been quite concerned about Fang Yusheng. After all, Fang Yusheng was Lisa’s only child in this world. Lisa was a woman with elegant manners; she was interesting and very attractive. She was a scholar and always had a scholarly aura around her. Whenever she conversed with them, ordinary people would consciously tone down.

  At the same time, Lisa had been a beauty, a real beauty. From Fang Yusheng’s looks, it could be seen that his mother had been very beautiful.

  Lisa had been the dream lover of many.

  Her stunning beauty was also the reason Fang Pingjue refused to let go of her even after chasing her for five years. Fang Pingjue also regarded Lisa as a goddess. Before the two of them had married, Fang Pingjue had once asked Lisa for a marriage, but she had refused.

  After they got married, Fang Pingjue had cheated on her with Mu Chen. Lisa and Fang Pingjue then divorced each other, and Fang Pingjue resolutely broke off all ties with his brother and left the Fang Corporation to be independent.

  These were all matters of the past.

  Wan Lang stared at Fang Yusheng for a long time before finally relaxing.

  “Butler Wan?”


  Qi Bufan noticed Wan Lang first.

  Fang Yusheng looked up when he heard this. His eyes were still closed when he heard Wan Lang say, “Young Master, your aunt had someone send a few turtledoves the day before yesterday. Turtledove is good for nourishing the body. Young Madam is pregnant, so it will be beneficial to her.”


  Fang Yusheng gave him a rare smile.

  At that moment, the world turned pale from his smile.

  “That’s very thoughtful of you.”


  Fang Yusheng said, “Bufan, pour a cup of tea for Butler Wan.”


  Qi Bufan nodded and threw down the wood and hammer in his hand. He walked to the door, took the turtle doves from Wan Lang’s hand, and carried them to the kitchen. Fang Yusheng called Wan Lang over to sit for a while. Wan Lang thought that he had nothing to do today, so he obliged.

  Qi Bufan quickly brought over the tea.

  ?Wan Lang could not help but take two more sips and even smacked his lips. Hearing him smack his lips, Fang Yusheng said, “I still have two bags of this tea here. If Butler Wan likes them, you can bring one back later.”


  “Young Master Xie.”


  Fang Yusheng was willing to give something to him out of his own pockets. This was rare, so Wan Lang could not bear to reject him.

  Seeing the butler readily accept it, Fang Yusheng was speechless.

  He inexplicably smiled and instructed Qi Bufan, “Get a bag of Tieguanyin for Butler Wan.”


  “Oh.”


  After Qi Bufan left, Fang Yusheng picked up his tea. He only took a small sip and missed his grandfather a little. He sighed and said, “Grandpa didn’t like wine or delicacies. He loved this.”


  Hearing this, Wan Lang also got a little emotional. “That’s right. When the old sir was still alive, you juniors gave him most of Tieguanyin. However, the Tieguanyin you gave was the most liked by the old sir.”


  This was not Wan Lang sucking up to Fang Yusheng, but the Tieguanyin Fang Yusheng gave was indeed the best.

  Fang Yusheng smiled and said, “I went to Anxiang Hua to pick it myself and stir-fried the Tieguanyin.” He had loved his grandfather since he was young and knew that his grandfather loved to drink this tea. When Fang Yusheng had gone on vacation, he had specially gone to Anxi to learn how to stir-fry tea from the local tea farmers.

  Wan Lang was surprised. “So that’s how it is.”?

  Fang Yusheng did not reply.

  Wan Lang lowered his head and remained silent. He only drank his tea and stared at his face that was no longer young in the tea.

  Qi Bufan sent the tea leaves over and went to make his children’s swings.

  “It’s a pity that when grandfather died, I didn’t have the chance to see him for the last time.” Fang Yusheng spoke again. The old master’s death had been too sudden and caught everyone off guard. When Fang Yusheng had received the news, the old master had already passed away.

  He had rushed back only in time to see his face.

  That was more than ten years ago. When he thought about it now, it felt like yesterday. “You’re not the only one who didn’t get to see the old man one last time. Even Sir rushed back after receiving the news, but the old master was already dead.”


  Fang Yusheng tapped his right index finger on the teacup. When he heard this, he seemingly unintentionally said, “Then, Butler Wan, do you know who accompanied grandfather on his last journey?” He had returned in a hurry back then and left in a hurry. Besides, his grandfather was old; he would have had to leave sooner or later. Hence, Fang Yusheng hadn’t thought too deeply about the entire matter.

  However, later when he thought about it, Fang Yusheng had felt that this matter was too sudden.

  Wan Lang hesitated for a moment but still told the truth. “It was Second Young Master.”


  Upon hearing that it was Fang Mu, Fang Yusheng stopped tapping his glass.

  “It’s him.”


  Fang Yusheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. He smiled and said, “With someone by his side, Grandfather wouldn’t have been lonely.”


  Wan Lang remained silent.

  He sat for a while more before leaving. However, he did not forget to take the bag of tea leaves.

  The moment the door closed, Fang Yusheng opened his eyes.

  He looked at the spot where Wan Lang had sat just now, a ruthless and angry look gathering in his eyes.

  “Bufan, how’s the arrangement going?”


  Qi Bufan put the chain through the hole and replied without looking up, “Seven o’clock tonight.”


  “Don’t make any mistakes.”


  “Don’t worry, Sir.”


  Fang Yusheng stood up and went into the kitchen. He plucked the turtledove’s hair and cut open its spine to remove its internal organs. Then, he placed the turtledove in a jar and added some winter mushrooms and red dates. Fang Yusheng placed the jar on the stove and slowly stewed it before going upstairs.

  Qiao Jiusheng was catching up on her sleep. The sky was already hot, and all the windows in the room were open.

  Qiao Jiusheng was dressed casually. As she lay on the bed, she smelled the sandalwood fragrance and soundly slept.

  Fang Yusheng took off the ring in her hand and placed it with his own ring. He sent it out together and asked Country A’s X Smart Company to customize a new pair of wedding rings with a GPS recording function according to the size of these rings. Although it was called a wedding ring, it was also a high-tech product.

  After that, he contacted the Empire Hotel to rent the top floor. The hotel was naturally responsible for arranging the drinks and menus at the wedding banquet, while the Bulgarian roses were contacted by the wedding company.

  Fang Yusheng hung up the phone and changed his clothes before going downstairs. When he passed by the kitchen, he said to Aunt Jin, “When she wakes up later, bring the soup to her.”


  “Okay.”


  Fang Yusheng asked Qi Bufan to take him to see Wei Xin.

  His meeting place with Wei Xin was a music bar. When Fang Yusheng arrived there, Wei Xin was standing with a man who looked like a model. Both of them were holding cigarettes and smoking in a corner. Fang Yusheng glanced at Wei Xin, who was smoking through his sunglasses, and frowned.

  Upon seeing him, Wei Xin raised her hand. Remembering that he was blind, she said, “Fang Yusheng here.”


  It was hard not to notice a handsome man with a cane appearing at the bar.

  Fang Yusheng slowly walked to her. The moment he sat down, Wei Xin handed him a glass of strong alcohol.

  Fang Yusheng held his wine glass and did not drink it.

  “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll drug you?” Wei Xin sneered.

  Fang Yusheng looked serious. “During special times, smoking and alcohol are prohibited.”


  “Oh, what special period prohibits smoking and alcohol?” Wei Xin said that. All of a sudden, she was stunned. “You guys…” Wei Xin pointed at her lower abdomen and asked Fang Yusheng, “Is that… ”


  Since Fang Yusheng was blind, he definitely did not know what she was doing.

  Yet, he nodded at her question. He seemed calm, but the smirk on his face betrayed his good mood.

  Wei Xin clicked her tongue. “The last time we met, she was still saying that your lives would be pretty good with a little fellow. It hasn’t been long, and she got pregnant.” Wei Xin put out the cigarette in her hand. “Congratulations!”


  “Thank you!” Fang Yusheng thanked her and said, “Since you want to congratulate me, you have to be sincere.”


  Wei Xin: “…”


  “How about this? Why don’t you help Ah Sheng design a wedding dress? Take it as a wedding gift to her.”


  Wei Xin: “…”


  “Ha…” Wei Xin took out her phone and said to Fang Yusheng as she made the call, “I have to tell Xiao Sheng that there’s a stingy young master here who wants a wedding dress designed by me without paying a single cent. He doesn’t even think about how valuable the clothes I design are. Your nature is worse than a robber’s. I have to tell Xiao Sheng that she can’t marry such a stingy man.”


  Fang Yusheng’s face collapsed, and he quickly changed his words. “I’ll pay for it.”


  Wei Xin smiled charmingly. “That’s right.” She opened her social media app and messaged Qiao Jiusheng to congratulate her while telling Fang Yusheng, “One wedding gown and three wedding dresses. You’re Xiao Sheng’s man, and I’m Xiao Sheng’s woman. Our relationship is not ordinary…”


  Fang Yusheng frowned.

  Wei Xin tapped her finger on the bar counter and said, “I’ll accept a friendship price of two million.” Wei Xin had a great sense of accomplishment from plucking feathers from a miser.

  ***

  After Fang Yusheng knew that Qiao Jiusheng was pregnant, he had bought a new white Porsche Cayenne. Before the child was born, he had already installed a children’s chair in the house. This morning, after knowing that Qiao Jiusheng was pregnant with twins, Fang Yusheng planned to add another child’s chair in two days.

  Qiao Jiusheng finished her soup, then took a corner and made a jade carving under the roof of the backyard. She planned to carve a pair of miniature twins and make them into pendants to be hung inside Fang Yusheng’s new car.

  When Fang Yusheng returned, he looked tired and miserable.

  Qiao Jiusheng heard his footsteps and did not turn around. She held the carving knife in her right hand and patted the empty seat beside her. “Yusheng, sit.”


  Fang Yusheng sat down beside her and glanced at the jade carving on her left hand. His mood became better.

  “Who bullied you?” When she spoke, she could not concentrate, so Qiao Jiusheng stopped carving.

  Fang Yusheng snorted. “Your woman.”


  Stunned, Qiao Jiusheng finally reacted.

  “You must have bullied Wei Xin first.” She knew Wei Xin too well and also Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng was not someone who could be bullied, and Wei Xin was not someone greedy for money. He must have offended Wei Xin first before being bullied by Wei Xin.

  Fang Yusheng snorted. “Stay away from Wei Xin in the future. She likes both men and women. I’ll be jealous if you get too close to her.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

  “If the two of us were going to be gay, we would have done it long ago.” After saying that, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed. She turned her head to look at Fang Yusheng and asked him, “You and Bufan are inseparable. Could it be that the two of you are also…”


  Fang Yusheng’s expression changed on the spot. “Ah Sheng…” His tone suddenly became dangerous.

  Qiao Jiusheng shrugged. “Do you know how it feels to be wronged?”


  Fang Yusheng remained silent.
