Chapter 14

The young man is standing at the stairwell, having just removed the bandages. It seems he has recently finished training and taken a shower. The fine, wet bangs on his forehead give him a handsome and rebellious charm.

Originally, Sheng Xia had planned to accompany them to the amusement park. Upon seeing him, she couldn’t help but greet him and smile, “Xiao Xu, good morning. Have you eaten?”

However, her friendly attitude appears insincere to Feng Jingxu, and he feels a chill down his spine. If it weren’t for his pride, he might have turned and run. Gripping the handrail, he warily asks, “What are you up to again?”

“What? Have you had breakfast already?” Sheng Xia nods, “Since you have nothing to do, come out with us.”

“Go out with you?” Feng Jingxu rejects without thinking, sneered, “I must be an idiot to go out with you. You surely want to play tricks on me.”

This won’t do; it’s not good if the eldest brother always thinks that way. It’s not conducive to her mission.

Sheng Xia coughs lightly with a hint of weakness, and she sees the vigilant Feng Jingxu across from her, taking a few steps back as if afraid of being tripped, She almost burst-out into laughter.

She covers her lips, lowers her head, and with a pale and fragile expression, delicate eyelashes drooping, she trembles slightly and whispered, “Ahh, Xuchen, Xuran Mom did her best.”

The Twins:?

Feng Jingxu:?

“I was thinking that on this rare weekend, your brother is also at home, Not doing anything. It’s a good opportunity for him to accompany you and strengthen your relationship by going out together.” Sheng Xia sighs softly, making her delicate face appear particularly melancholic, “Who would have thought that Little Xu prefers to stay at home rather than go out. It seems the affection has faded. It doesn’t matter.”

The twins lie in Sheng Xia’s arms, looking up with round eyes in unison, “Brother?”

Feng Jingxu:?

Feeling the temple throbbing skillfully, he deeply suspects that he still hasn’t recovered from the concussion. It must be Sheng Xia repeatedly infuriating him at home.

He would like to refuse with dignity, not to be manipulated by Sheng Xia. However, seeing the two children looking at him with confusion and anticipation, he distorts his expression, and with a fake smile, he says, “Why not? I just need to tidy up and then go with you.”

Humph, joking! As the newly crowned top star, going out could lead to being recognized and photographed!

After Feng Jingxu, with a dark face, reluctantly turns to change his clothes, the twins happily run over to bid farewell to Nanny Ye. She can’t help but bite her lip, her face full of worry, wanting to say something to caution them.

However, when she unintentionally met Sheng Xia’s gaze, she subconsciously shivered and quickly lowered her head.

Seated in a wheelchair, Sheng Xia should be in a vulnerable position, needing to look up at her. However, the calm and indifferent eyes just now conveyed a sense of superiority, making her unable to utter a word.

Madam… when did she develop such an imposing aura? It was almost as cold and terrifying as Mr. Feng.

She nervously thought, with them being so indifferent, how could they really care about the children?

It seemed that Master Jingxu didn’t like the two children at all, and even kept a watchful eye on them. Yet, Madam didn’t seem to care at all. She just wanted to emphasize her importance and insisted he join.

If only the two of them took Xuchen and Xuran out, what if they got lost?

But obviously, no one cared about her concerns. When Feng Jingxu came out, Sheng Xia just beckoned with her finger, and the twins in her arms happily chased after her.

Just by looking at their backs, it really looked like a family outing.

Nanny Ye’s face looked slightly unpleasant, but when the steward gaze swept over her, she quickly lowered her head.

The newly opened children’s amusement park indeed attracted many people. It included various entertainment facilities like mirror slides, ocean ball pools, rainbow nets, and tech sand pits, captivating the children.

The most attractive feature was the space-themed children’s castle standing in the center, and one could even vaguely see the technologically advanced rooms inside.

As soon as the Twins entered, they couldn’t help but exclaim with excitement, showing their longing expressions.

It looks so fun here!

Even Sheng Xia couldn’t resist staying for a while in that castle. After a nervous reminder from the system, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze and looked towards Sheng Lanqiu and her stepson, Shi Yue.

Shi Yue was adorable with his jade-like features, well-behaved and polite. Although he wanted to play and frequently turned his head to look at the castle, he obediently stayed by his mother’s side.

Sheng Lanqiu, dressed brightly today, seemed to be whispering something to Shi Yue. She exuded a gentle atmosphere, and the mother and son duo looked particularly eye-catching.

However, upon seeing them, Sheng Xia couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Bringing a child to the amusement park, and specially dressing Shi Yue in a suit? Seriously?

Sheng Lanqiu didn’t expect that just by inviting Sheng Xia to bring the children out to play, Feng Jingxu would also come along.

After the three children greeted each other and ran into the children’s amusement park hand in hand, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows, quietly observing Feng Jingxu and Sheng Xia.

What is going on?

Could it be because Sheng Xia is injured, so she’s forcing him to accompany them?

Seeing the young man pushing Sheng Xia’s wheelchair with a dark and unwilling expression, Sheng Lanqiu, as if understanding something, gently raised the corner of her mouth. The frantic beating of her heart gradually calmed down.

It seems that Sheng Xia, despite appearing indifferent to her words yesterday, actually harbored deep resentment. That’s why she specifically forced Feng Jingxu to come out today—to assert her position in the Feng family.

Sure.

Thinking this way, Sheng Lanqiu couldn’t help but cast a sympathetic look at Feng Jingxu, who had lowered the brim of his hat.

It’s worth noting that in the dream, after the exposure of Sheng Xia’s mistreatment of the children, she comforted the numb and pitiful twins, and Feng Jingxu, out of gratitude, even generously gave her many resources.

So, in Sheng Lanqiu’s eyes, they were already quite familiar.

“Xiao Xu, I didn’t expect you to come with Sister.” She greeted him with a smile, then scolded playfully, “Sister, really, Xiao Xu holds a special position in the industry now. You should consider Xiao Xu’s feelings. He can’t casually appear in such public places.”

Feng Jingxu furrowed his brows, feeling this woman was inexplicable. He pushed up his sunglasses and bluntly said, “Are we close? Who gave you the permission to call me ‘Xiao Xu’?”

He wasn’t that naive. He could naturally hear the meaning behind the woman’s words. He may not like Sheng Xia, but she was still a part of the Feng family. How could others bully her?

Sheng Lanqiu’s face instantly stiffened. She didn’t expect the first meeting with the young top star who was particularly kind to her in her dream would be so faceless. With this bad temper, it’s no wonder Sheng Xia couldn’t stand him.

She quickly glanced at Sheng Xia and pretended to be embarrassed, “I thought that since Sister brought people over, Jingxu had recognized Sister. Then I would be Jingxu’s aunt…”

“Hmm?” Acting like she didn’t see their previous clash, Sheng Xia displayed an innocent smile, “Isn’t it Sister Lanqiu who asked me to bring the children over? We have many kids in our family, I’m really sorry.”

Sheng Lanqiu: … Familiar feeling of heartache came again.

“Sheng Xia, don’t take advantage of me too much! Stop pretending!” Feng Jingxu’s expression almost cracked. He pressed his hat down, gritted his teeth, “I knew it. You definitely didn’t invite me out with good intentions. You’re just waiting for me to acknowledge you as my mother.”

To make him call her “Mom,” huh, that’s impossible, not even in his next life!

Sheng Xia sighed while covering her chest, “I was just telling the truth, Xiao Xu, how can you see Mom like this? It seems that children easily become rebellious when they grow up. Ah, you really broke Mom’s heart.”

“Sheng… Xia—Just because you have a mouth, doesn’t mean you can talk whatever you want! Just Shut up!”

Disgusted by her self-proclaimed indulgent tone, Feng Jingxu contorted his face, and the eyes beneath his sunglasses glared at her fiercely. If it weren’t for the presence of others, he would have loved to ram Sheng Xia’s wheelchair into the wall to give her a good lesson.

As they quarreled, Sheng Lanqiu’s expression gradually softened, feeling relieved.

Feng Jingxu indeed still detested Sheng Xia. His attitude towards her just now was probably only because she was Sheng Xia’s sister, so he harbored ill feelings towards her as well.

Feeling dragged down by Sheng Xia, Sheng Lanqiu shook her head helplessly, “Sister, would you like some coffee? There’s a coffee shop right here, and you can see the scenery inside the amusement park through the window. We can sit there for a while, and it’s also convenient to keep an eye on the kids.”

“Did you come here just to let the kids play this?” Sheng Xia weakly refused, looking up. Her pale complexion revealed a delicate beauty, and her beautiful black eyes seemed to carry a hint of depth, “Is there no other intention?”

“W-What other intention?”

Sheng Lanqiu’s heart tightened immediately. Could it be that she had noticed something?
