It took fifteen minutes to walk from the beach to the hotel. Song Fengwanâs hand was being held in his. His palm was very hot, making her feel alarmed.
The hotel Fu Chen was staying at was very close to the Yan residence. Fu Cheâs room was on the 18th floor of the hotel, and from certain angles, she could almost see the Yan residence. Song Fengwan inexplicably had the illusion that her mother would discover her.
She felt increasingly uneasy.
âWhy did you book a room in this hotel?â It was too dangerous.
âItâs closer, so itâs more convenient for us to meet.â
âItâs too close. You can see my house from the window.â
âIn that case, even if you canât come out, and we canât meetâ¦
âItâs the same if I can see your house. Itâs just like seeing your face.â
Song Fengwanâs heart skipped a beat.
The two of them cuddled for awhile.
While Song Fengwan was showering, Fu Chen checked his phone. Yesterday, in order to prevent anyone from disturbing him and Song Fengwan or interrupting him from doing proper business, he had switched it to silent mode.
Other than a call from the old residence, there were only a few calls from Duan Linbai and more than ten messages.
He called his parents back and then slowly read Duan Linbaiâs WeChat messages.
(F*ck, Old Duan said heâs taking me out to meet a friend tonight. He even said that his friend has a daughter whoâs about my age. This is definitely a trap. You have to save me.]
[1m going out. Remember to call me in half an hour!]
[.. Jing Hanchuan and Fu Sinian are overseas, so thereâs a time difference. Third Fu, are you reliable or not? Brother, Iâm about to die. Call me quickly!]
[E*ck, she even asked me for my WeChat. She wants to develop a relationship with me. Sheâs a good girl, but unfortunately, sheâs not my type.]
[Brotherly feelings are too fragile. Itâs despairing. ]
Fu Chen chuckled and didnât say anything. He directly sent him the location of the resort hotel in Nanjiang.
When Duan Linbai saw the reply, he gritted his teeth in hatred. Heâs so f*cking shameless.
He immediately ran to the group chat to complain that a certain someone valued his girlfriend over his friends.
Little White Dragon in the Waves: [@Jing Hanchuan @Fu Sinian. Say, how shameless is this fellow? He watched me die and didnât save me. He values his girlfriend over his friends. Hurry up and complain about him with me.]
Fu Sinian: [He is my third uncle.]
Jing Hanchuan: [How?]
Jing Hanchuan had been a little depressed recently. He liked peace and quiet, but when he was at his grandmotherâs house, there were many children in the family. The youngest had yet to go to kindergarten, and the oldest was only in junior high. A group of children were shouting andâ¦
⦠Matching his strawberries and cherries.
He was older and couldnât bully children, so he could only ask, âDo you want more?â
Actually, with his parents around, he couldnât intimidate or bully the weak. Otherwiseâ¦
He really wanted to hang these brats up and feed them to the fish.
Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing had suffered a lot during the war and had passed away early. There were a total of three people in his family, and they often celebrated the new year at his maternal grandmotherâs house overseas. But facing this group of children, Jing Hanchuan was really at his witâs end.
He felt stifled. When Duan Linbai wanted him to complain about Fu Chen, he immediately agreed.
Little White Dragon in the Waves: (Haha, I finally have an ally. Come on, letâs work togetherâ¦]
Jing Hanchuan: [(â¦]
Fu Chen: [Iâm in Nanjiang. Does anyone want coconut cake?]

âWhen Duan Linbai saw this message, he cursed. Then he saw Jing Hanchuan silently send a smiley emoji.
F*ck!
Our alliance broke down over a few cakes?

The world is declining.

Fu Chen stayed in Nanjiang for three days and two nights. Song Fengwan only accompanied him for one night. The next day, he lay on the bed alone and couldnât fall asleep, so he got up and looked at the Yan residenceâ¦
Everyone had greed, and Fu Chen was the same.
The closer they were, the more he wanted to get closer.
He couldnât sleep, so he went to the beach for a walk.
Before leaving, he bought a lot of Nanjiangâs specialties and handicrafts, most of which were for Yu Manxi. She had a good relationship with Song Fengwan, and it was her first time celebrating Lunar New Year with the Fu family this year. As her uncle, he had to express himself.
The two of them didnât lack expensive things, so he brought some food and small things back.
It was also Song Fengwanâs first time celebrating Lunar New Year at the Yan residence. Nanjiang wasnât like Yuncheng. There was no snow all year round, and the weather was humid and warm. She kept feeling that if there was no snow during Lunar New Year, there would be no atmosphere.
Fortunately, there was a fireworks festival held in Nanjiang every year. The government funded it, so it was very spectacular.
The Yan residenceâs position just happened to allow them to see the fireworks at close range. It was Lunar New Yearâs Eve, and the sky in Nanjiang was as bright as day and as brilliant as a river of stars.
Song Fengwan even took a lot of videos for Fu Chen, making him a little envious.
Meanwhile, on the Fu familyâs side, the four siblings returned home neatly. Coupled with the fact that Fu Sinian was newly married and Yu Manxi joined them, it was naturally exceptionally lively.
It was the first time Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua had officially interacted with her. Fu Zhongli gave her a thick red packet while Sun Qionghua gave her a set of jewelry. They were very expensive. When the two of them officially held the wedding ceremony, they would have to give them some gifts.
Yu Manxi felt that it was too precious and was too embarrassed to accept it. In the end, she couldnât withstand Sun Qionghuaâs gentle persuasion and could only keep thanking her.
In order to thank Fu Chen for taking care of Fu Yuxiu, Sun Qionghua had specially given him a sandalwood Buddhist bracelet. Fu Yuxiu wanted to die. He had been tortured so badly, yet she still thanked him?
Fu Chen accepted it with a smile. âSecond Sister-in-Law, you are too polite. As an uncle, itâs only right for me to take care of my nephew. I will be stricter with him in the future.â

Fu Yuxiu almost vomited blood.
The Fu family had no young children, so the custom of giving red packets on Lunar New Year ended when the youngest Shen Jinye became an adult.
âWhen Yu Manxi came over this year, all the elders of the Fu family, including Fu Chen, gave her New Yearâs money. This made Shen Jinyeâs eyes red, and he directly said that they were too biased.
Old Madam Fu smiled. âWhen you bring your wife here in the future, Iâll give her a big red packet too.â
Shen Jinye coughed twice and didnât say anything.
ee
On the other hand, the Yan familyâ¦
The family didnât have any children to begin with, and it wasnât easy for Old Madam Yan to get a granddaughter. The red packets were very big, and Yan Wangchuan was very tactful this year and didnât give her any college entrance examination materials. Butâ¦
He bought an entire set of jade design books for her!
There were two big volumes, each as thick as a dictionary.
He had even wrapped them in red paper for the festive occasion.
Song Fengwan wanted to cry. Itâs not convenient for me to bring this thing to school. Canât you be more practical?
Yan Wangchuan said that directly giving money was vulgar and boring.
Song Fengwan only wanted to tell him, âIâm just a vulgar person! Iâm really vulgar! I want money.â
Qiao Aiyunâs due date was in March, and Lunar New Year was already in mid-February. Song Fengwan even specially found a red packet and put 66 yuan in it. She said that she would give it to her younger sister in the future. The word â6â meant smooth-sailing.
âThe due date is in March. Itâs so late. School already starts then. Canât she come out early?â Song Fengwan especially wanted to witness the moment with her own eyes.
But school started after the Lantern Festival, which was at the end of February and the beginning of March. Old Madam Yan had long booked a bed in the best hospital. After the Lantern Festival, Qiao Aiyun had to move to the hospital because she was worried about there being mistakes before giving birth.
âHow can this matter be early?â Old Madam Yan smiled. âWhen you come back for the May Day holiday, your little sister will definitely be born.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It didnât matter if the baby was male or female. It was just that once in a while, Old Madan Yan suddenly thought that if the baby was a boy and took after his fatherâ¦7
Her mind went blank.
Girls were still better. It was best for her to be as well-behaved and sensible as Song Fengwan.
Old Madan Yan was afraid that a boy would inherit Yan Wangchuanâs personality, so she wanted a girl.
âMay Day, itâs so far away.â Song Fengwan reached out her hand and asked for Qiao Aiyunâs opinion. She caressed her stomach, but she didnât expect her stomach to suddenly move. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. âM-moved..â
âThe baby is a little naughty. Itâs been moving a lot recently. Itâs fine.â Qiao Aiyun pulled her hand and placed it on her stomach.

At this time, Qiao Aiyunâs stomach was already very big. Moreover, there were stretch lines and faint blue veins visible on her skin. In addition, her pregnancy was very difficult. Her legs were swollen, and her feet were so swollen that she couldnât wear her old shoes.
Song Fengwan looked shocked and felt that it was too tough to be pregnant and give birth.
âThope sheâs born soonâ¦â Song Fengwan bit her lip. This way, Qiao Aiyun would suffer less.
But as a mother, Qiao Aiyun still hoped that the child could stay in the motherâs womb for longer. After all, taking nutrients from the motherâs body was completely different from adding nourishment after birth.
So there had always been a saying: One more day in the stomach was better than ten days in the world.

As the Lantern Festival approached, Song Fengwan prepared to return to school. Qiao Aiyun was pregnant and wanted to help her pack.
âMom, I can do it myself. Thereâs nothing much to bring. I donât have much luggage.â
âThave to check.â Qiao Aiyun kept feeling that she was still a child, so she was worried about whatever she did.
While helping Song Fengwan tidy up, she noticed that her stomach felt a little strange. After all, it wasnât the first time Qiao Aiyun was giving birth. It was different from the usual pain. She held her stomach, and her breathing became hurried.
âMom, look for yourself. Itâs really all packed. Nothing is missing.â Song Fengwan looked up and saw her leaning against the wall, panting heavily. âMom, are you alright.â
âThave a situation!â Qiao Aiyun gritted her teeth.
Song Fengwan watched as a clear liquid flowed out of her inner thigh and was instantly dumbfounded. This.
Isnât there still more than half a month until her due date?
Is she going to give birth early?!

Meanwhile, Fu Chen was picking up Huai Sheng and his sister at the temple in the capital and asked for a divination stick while there.
The stick came out: [Poor luck]!
