Golden Terrace

Her tightly wound heartstrings finally snapped completely. Fu Ling cried uncontrollably: “You scared me to death… With our parents gone, you’re my only family left…”

Fu Shen’s breath caught. The frost in his heart melted into warm water. With clumsy carefulness, he gently patted her back, softly saying, “Don’t cry. It’s okay. Brother’s here. Don’t be sad.”

Fu Shen had finally consoled his sister, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Pressing his temples, he said helplessly, “I told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen.”

Crying like this, aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself? Your visit means our mansion’s garden won’t need watering for three years.”

Fu Ling, washing her face and reapplying makeup, couldn’t help but laugh. “Stop teasing me. Do you think I wanted to? Waiting anxiously at home is what truly hurts.”

Fu Shen was speechless.

“Very well, Wang Ye is also very good to me,” Fu Ling slightly turned sideways, pulling his sleeve like a little girl and whispered, “I’ve actually been looking forward to your return to the capital this year.”

“What’s wrong?” Fu Shen immediately asked, “Did something happen, or are you being bullied at home?”

“It was no wonder he was overthinking; most brothers in the world were like this, showing care by standing up for their siblings.”

“Nothing at all, it’s good news,” Fu Ling’s face flushed slightly, “Big brother, you’re going to be an uncle.”

“Oh,” Fu Shen only heard the first half of the sentence and nodded normally, but a few moments later, he suddenly realized the meaning of the latter half and was so shocked he almost stood up from his wheelchair, raising his voice: “What did you say?!”

Fu Ling placed her hand on her still-flat belly and smiled, “It’s been over three months already.”

“How… how…” Jing Ning Hou was rarely flustered, “You’re so young. No, when did this happen?”

Fu Ling watched him fumble, and Fu Shen slapped his forehead, realizing he had just asked a nonsensical question and laughed.

Xiao Xun wanted him to bandage his hand first, but Fu Shen didn’t even raise his eyes. Xiao Xun didn’t dare to disobey him and hurriedly lowered his head in agreement. Just as he was about to leave, Fu Shen suddenly called out, “Wait.”
