Realizing that the two of them were husband and wife, Liu Cheng looked at Fang Yusheng with concern.

  It seemed like this person was not just a random lover.

  He had misjudged.

  Liu Cheng asked Qiao Jiusheng with a smile, “Miss, what’s your surname?” He was not a three-year-old child and would not easily believe Qiao Jiusheng’s words.

  Qiao Jiusheng said, “My surname is Qiao.” She pointed at Fang Yusheng beside her and said, “This is my husband. His surname is Fang.”


  Upon hearing this, two names flashed across Liu Cheng’s mind. Behind him, his manager gently tugged at the corner of his shirt and wrote a few words on his back. Liu Cheng could tell that he had written—OK.

  It seemed like his manager was thinking the same thing as him.

  “So it’s Mr. Fang and Madam Fang. I’m the one who’s blind.” Liu Cheng was also someone who knew how to do things. When he said this, he unintentionally stood in front of Fang Yusheng. This was a form of respect.

  Fang Yusheng did not speak. Qiao Jiusheng smiled and said, “Mr. Liu, this watch…”


  “Since Mr. Fang likes it, I naturally have to help you.” He immediately took off the watch and handed it to the sales lady. The sales lady took the watch and did not ask further before returning to the counter. Qiao Jiusheng thanked Liu Cheng before paying.

  Fang Yusheng did not go.

  He had agreed that Qiao Jiusheng would support him, so he naturally had to play the role of a pretty boy.

  Liu Cheng and Fang Yusheng stood side by side. Fang Yusheng watched as Qiao Jiusheng signed and paid in front of the counter with a gentle gaze. Beside him, Liu Cheng suddenly said, “The outside world is saying that Mr. Fang and Madam Fang are in love. It’s really so.”


  Look at these two people. One of them went to pay while the other watched anxiously. They were not tired of it.

  Liu Cheng was used to seeing sensationalized relationships in the industry. He found it unbelievable that he suddenly met a couple like Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng. Fang Yusheng felt comfortable hearing Liu Cheng’s words. Coincidentally, Qiao Jiusheng paid and walked over with her things.

  Fang Yusheng said goodbye to Liu Cheng and walked towards Qiao Jiusheng.

  The two of them walked out of the shop. Qiao Jiusheng handed the things to Fang Yusheng. When Fang Yusheng took them, she said, “I guess this is called being angry for a beauty.”


  Fang Yusheng stared at her dotingly and mercilessly exposed her lie. “With just one sentence from you, will Chen Chong give Liu Cheng resources?” Seeing Qiao Jiusheng’s face fall, Fang Yusheng said, “Alright, I’ll tell Uncle another day and ask him to take care of that person more in the future.”


  Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng beamed.

  She took off Fang Yusheng’s wrist watch and put the one she just bought on him.

  “It looks good.”


  Fang Yusheng shook his wrist and nodded.

  “What else do you want to buy? I’ll buy it for you.” Qiao Jiusheng’s tone was like a coal boss digging a mine, and was especially generous.

  Fang Yusheng opened his mouth and said, “I want to buy the Forbidden City.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

  “Your Forbidden City is in Dragon Harbor. Your territory is that small piece of land. Your empress is Qiao Jiusheng, and your princes are Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng. You already have them. Why buy them?” The sharp-tongued Qiao Jiusheng would always be able to convince Fang Yusheng.

  Fang Yusheng was speechless.

  “You’re right about everything,” he said helplessly.

  Fang Yusheng did not have anything else he wanted to buy. In the end, it was still Qiao Jiusheng who bought things for herself and the children. After buying everything, she said, “I’m going to buy something. Wait for me.”


  “Yes.”


  Fang Yusheng did not ask where Qiao Jiusheng was going.

  Qiao Jiusheng entered a makeup shop. When she came out, she was holding lipstick… a large pile of lipstick. Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows. “So much?” He was quite surprised. There were so many. She could use one a day and the colors would not be repeated for more than a month.

  Qiao Jiusheng snorted and said, “It’s a secret.”


  …


  On Lisa’s birthday, Qiao Jiusheng specially applied for leave for the two little fellows.

  Fang Zikai was quite happy to be able to slack off for a day. Fang Zicheng did not want to go to kindergarten, and he was in a rare good mood. Early in the morning, Qiao Jiusheng put on a hoodie of the same color for the twins, along with a pair of jeans and sneakers.

  Then, she dressed up and went to Chi Baoguang’s house with Fang Yusheng.

  Chi Baoguang had also taken leave today. Their district had three bedrooms and two living rooms. Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng shared a room, the master had a room, and the two little boys had a room. When they arrived, Chi Baoguang was standing at the entrance of the district with two big coconuts.

  He was wearing a gray shirt. Standing there, he looked like an elegant and calm old man.

  After getting out of the car, Fang Zikai saw Chi Baoguang and rushed into Chi Baoguang’s arms like a runaway horse. “Grandpa!” He hugged Chi Baoguang’s leg and rubbed his head on his leg. He said coquettishly, “I miss you, Grandpa. Did you miss me?”


  Chi Baoguang said yes.

  Fang Zicheng walked over slowly. He looked up and called him grandfather obediently.

  Chi Baoguang raised his eyebrows at him and asked, “Have you forgotten something?”


  Fang Zicheng was not afraid of anyone, but he was a little afraid of this grandfather. He hesitated for a moment before imitating Fang Zikai and hugging Chi Baoguang’s leg. He rubbed it stiffly and then let go. Fang Zicheng had never done such a thing before and felt uncomfortable.

  Chi Baoguang gave him a loving slap and praised him. “Remember, you have to do this whenever you see me in the future.”


  Fang Zicheng wanted to say that this was very embarrassing, but when he met his grandfather’s smiling eyes, Fang Zicheng… cowered. The two strands of hair on his head that were blown up by the wind collapsed.

  Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng walked over. The three of them brought their children into the house.

  Fang Yusheng was empty-handed. Chi Baoguang asked him, “What gift did you prepare for your mother?”


  Fang Yusheng took out a red packet from his pocket and asked Chi Baoguang, “Can I?”


  Chi Baoguang smiled. “How tacky.”


  He did not ask Qiao Jiusheng.

  When they reached home, Lisa opened the door.

  Even at home, Lisa was dressed elegantly. She wore a white high-collared long-sleeved shirt with a flare, and a high-waisted green dress. Her long brown hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a black top hat. Lisa looked outstanding, and she did not look like an old woman at all.

  Every time she came to see Lisa, Qiao Jiusheng would dress up carefully, afraid that Lisa would despise her.

  Today, she was wearing a black strapless dress with a white lace shawl over her shoulders, revealing her elegant and charming collarbone. Qiao Jiusheng was not dressed that gorgeously, but she walked with a temperament. The two of them stood facing each other, looking especially like a mother and daughter.

  Their relationship had always been harmonious.

  When they did not live together, their relationship would always be harmonious. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other. Qiao Jiusheng handed the carnations in her hand to Lisa and said to her in English, “Happy birthday Lisa, you look very beautiful today.”
