Hearing his subtle warning, Sheng Xia blinked her beautiful innocent eyes, her long, thick eyelashes trembling gently, revealing a hint of charming tenderness, “Look, I just said a few more words, and my husband looks like this.”

“Now, being taken care of for a while is met with rejection. How can I expect it in the future? Hmph, from now on, I won’t dare to disturb you again.”

Feng Jingxu: “…”

Just by listening to her tone, he knew that everything was fine. The young man belatedly realized that the two of them were just teasing each other with their words, and his temples suddenly throbbed.

—This guy, shouldn’t have cared about her!

“Little Xu, are you angry? Don’t be upset. I just saw that you were suddenly sentimental. I didn’t expect that you could already live such a comfortable life now. The kids are so filial, it’s heartwarming.”

As if sensing the young man’s gaze, Sheng Xia held her face, her eyes sparkling, “Especially Little Xu, always tough on the outside but tender on the inside. Seeing you care so much about Mom, oh, Mom is really touched.”

Tough on the outside but tender on the inside, Feng Jingxu: “…” Who cared about her? Don’t talk nonsense!

“Okay, Little Xu, you’ve worked hard today.”

Seeing his son about to be teased, Feng Yan timely patted his shoulder, speaking gently, “It’s been raining these past few days, and it will cool down at night. Even though your fever has gone down, still be cautious. Rest early tonight.”

“…I know, I’m not Sheng Xia. There’s no need for such careful reminders.”

Feng Jingxu felt a bit uncomfortable with this concern and pretended to be impatient, rubbing his ears, “Just keep an eye on her. I’ve recovered, but she still has to lie in bed.”

Sheng Xia sighed deeply, her tone melancholic, “Now, every time you open your mouth, as if it’s calling my name. I don’t even know who it was last night—”

At the mention of this, he seemed to be poked at a weak spot like a startled rabbit. His whole body took a big step back, his face flushing, warning, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve already said it’s not something I genuinely wanted to say!!”

“Mm-hmm, what you say is always right.” Sheng Xia’s tone was indulgent, “Mom understands.”

Feng Jingxu: “…” Darn it! She’s clearly just humoring me!

He shouldn’t have spent so much time hesitating; he should have just come to her in the first place. Clearly, he knew she would seize on this point. She could talk about it for a lifetime!

Feng Jingxu’s face turned red and green, feeling both regret and frustration. He couldn’t help but glare at Sheng Xia, looking fierce.

Yet, if you asked if he regretted it, it seemed not really. At most, he just found Sheng Xia a bit annoying. He got a headache every time he heard her voice.

He snorted and decisively handed the tray to his dad, then left the room, out of sight, out of mind.

“Chen Chen, feed Xia Xia. It’s mealtime.”

Seeing his brother leave, Feng Xuchen seized the opportunity to occupy the bedside position. Eagerly, he held a bowl of nutritious porridge and handed the spoon to Sheng Xia, saying, “Eat a lot; you’ll get better soon.”

“Wow, thanks, Chen Chen, my dear.” Sheng Xia leaned over and gulped down the porridge, her dark eyes sparkling. “It’s really delicious. It must be sweet because it’s fed by Chen Chen.”

Feng Xuchen proudly puffed out his chest and continued to feed her enthusiastically. “Xia Xia, eat.”

Feng Xuran, seizing the moment his brother handed the spoon, picked up a vegetable and fed it to her. He also received Sheng Xia’s praise. “Thanks, Ran Ran. After eating, I feel more energetic. It must be your care that lifted Mom’s spirits, right?”

The little girl blushed instantly and tried hard to nod with a serious expression. “Yes, taking care of Mom.”

So, encouraged by their mom’s sweet words, the twins worked diligently, buzzing around like busy bees, continuing to take care of her.

Sheng Xia didn’t even lift a finger. She just had to open her mouth. After happily finishing dinner, she couldn’t help but express a shameless sentiment: “Wow, lying down is indeed the happiest.”

Feng Jingxu couldn’t stand it anymore. “…”

Just after preparing medicine for Sheng Xia, he came back to see the stepmother ruthlessly exploiting the twin as laborers. His temples throbbed again.

After a night’s rest, Sheng Xia was full of energy the next day, completely recovered.

But because it had been raining for the past two days and the weather was bad, it was inconvenient to return directly, so they could only continue staying at the villa. Unlike Feng Yan, who still had to busy himself with work and endless conference calls, Sheng Xia was leisurely eating fruit and video chatting with Feng Shaoyu.

Hearing that they still couldn’t come back, Feng Shaoyun’s face showed obvious concern. “Sister-in-law, are you sure you’re okay? Otherwise, I can come and see you…”

Thinking of her sister-in-law’s pale face when she was sick multiple times, her heart clenched, and her expression became heavy. “It’s pouring rain here, even if you want to come, there’s no way to get here,” Sheng Xia joked lazily, leaning back on the sofa. “When the rain stops, instead of waiting for you to come see me, we would have already been able to go home.”

Feng Shaoyun felt a bit disappointed and said, “But you’ve been gone for so long and still can’t come back.”

“So Shaoyun misses us, huh?”

Feng Shaoyun’s face blushed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded seriously. However, before she could speak, her third brother, Feng Shaoyu, who was showing his presence, squeezed in and said, “Me too, me too, sis-in-law, both Shaoyun and I miss you guys a lot.”

“…”

Feng Shaoyun turned her head and stared silently at her smiling third brother, her mouth gradually flattening.

Her brother was going too far. This was clearly her and her sister-in-law’s video call!

However, completely unaware of his sister’s resentful gaze, Feng Shaoyu continued to report on the situation at home to Sheng Xia with a smile, “Yes, Shaoyun has been doing well recently, and because she wants to seek inspiration for new game CG, she has learned to actively communicate with the people at Leap Studio.”

“Oh, did Shaoyun tell you? She has made a friend who can exchange painting skills, she met the painter at that art exchange meeting. I heard that she is going back to China soon to hold an art exhibition, so she wants to invite Shaoyun out to meet her.”

Feng Shaoyun’s eyes widened gradually. That was her line!

“As for me? I’m still the same, just missing you guys a bit. This time, the second brother is also recording a program with you guys, so there’s only me and Shaoyun left at home, making it even quieter.”

“Then, bored, everyone is watching live broadcasts.” He touched his nose, as if remembering something from the day before yesterday and still feeling lingering fear, “When I saw you almost fall into the sea, I was really scared, but fortunately, you and Xiaoxu are both fine.”

…Wait a minute.

Seeming to finally realize something was wrong, Feng Shaoyu turned his head and saw his sister staring at him quietly, her lips pursed.

Rarely seeing her looking like she was sulking, he hesitated slightly, “Shaoyun, is there something you want to say?”

Feng Shaoyun glanced at him quietly again, suddenly silent, and then she put her phone away decisively, stood up, and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Watching her resolutely cold back, there was a hint of resemblance to Feng Yan.

Suddenly left behind, Feng Shaoyu thought to himself, “Wait, was I just being rejected?”
