Chapter 13: What to Do If They Want a Grandchild

Watching from the garden as their son and daughter-in-law laughed and played together happily, Li Wanjun clutched Fu Junjie’s arm and sighed with emotion. “Husband, look at them—how good their relationship is.”

Fu Junjie nodded.

Li Wanjun let out a sigh and said: “If Shiyuan and Yanyan had a child, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Fu Junjie cleared his throat and said: “Even though our Shiyuan isn’t as smart as before, he’s… still capable in that area. So, Wife, you don’t need to worry about them having children.”

Li Wanjun looked up at him. “Husband, how are you so sure?”

Fu Junjie replied awkwardly: “He’s my son—wouldn’t I know? A few months ago, I went to the hot springs with Shiyuan and I saw for myself. Anyway, don’t worry about the grandson issue. It’ll happen sooner or later.”

Li Wanjun smiled, but then frowned. “But will Shiyuan even initiate that kind of… marital intimacy with Yanyan? He can’t expect Yanyan to take the lead, right? She’s a girl, she’d be too embarrassed.”

“Aiyoo, Wanjun, stop worrying about nonsense.”

Stop worrying? Easier said than done. That kind of thing had to be initiated by the man. No, she needed to find time to have a serious talk with Shiyuan.

In the evening, Shiyuan still stuck to Yanyan like glue, always by her side. He was extremely clingy. Originally, she’d planned to find a chance to talk to Shiyuan, but he insisted on sticking with Yanyan, and she was too embarrassed to bring up that kind of topic in front of her daughter-in-law!

Before dinner, Li Wanjun pulled aside her beloved youngest daughter and told her: “Xiaoya, after dinner, take your eldest sister-in-law aside for a little chat.”

Fu Siya was confused. “Hmm?”

“Just listen to your mother. I have something to talk about with your big brother privately. It’s not appropriate for Yanyan to be there.”

“Mum, what are you going to talk to Big Brother about?”

“You’re just a child, don’t ask so many questions!”

“I’m not a child anymore, I’m already 21.”

“Anyway, keep your eldest sister-in-law away for at least twenty minutes. There’ll be a reward afterward.”

Fu Siya finally nodded. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me!”

Dinner began.

Fu Siya gave a sweet smile to Qiao Yanyan and said: “Eldest Sister-in-law, can I have a little chat with you later?”

Looking at the beautiful and lively Siya, Qiao Yanyan naturally didn’t refuse. She thought about Siya’s fate in the book—Siya fell in love with a poor boy, chased him, and married him. That was only the beginning of the tragedy…

Maybe she could even persuade her, help her avoid falling for that poor boy.

“Of course.” Qiao Yanyan answered with a smile.

“Big Brother can’t come with us though.” Fu Siya said, looking at Fu Shiyuan.

Fu Shiyuan pouted. “Why not?”

“No reason! It’s just a girl-to-girl secret.”

Fu Shiyuan looked at Qiao Yanyan, and Qiao Yanyan said: “Shiyuan, it won’t take long.”

“Alright then.” Fu Shiyuan reluctantly agreed.

After dinner—

Fu Siya pulled Qiao Yanyan to her room and casually started chatting.

After a few minutes of talking, Qiao Yanyan suddenly asked: “Siya, do you have a boyfriend?”

Fu Siya was caught off guard. She shook her head. “No… Eldest Sister-in-law, why are you asking that?”

“I just care about you. So, what do you think of Qu Qinghua?”

In the book, after marrying that poor boy, he quickly began trying to get rich. He used Fu Siya’s dowry as capital, started a company—even though he had no clue about investments or entrepreneurship. Naturally, he lost everything. Then, instead of taking responsibility, he blamed Siya: ‘Who told you to trust me so much and give me all the money? Now the money’s all gone, what are we supposed to do?’

Qiao Yanyan remembered reading that part on her phone back then—she’d nearly died laughing, both furious and amused.

Siya loved the poor boy too much. She returned to her family for money again and again, even using her dividends from Fu Corporation. But the poor boy gambled all that money on stocks again, and unsurprisingly, lost it all.

Then Siya ended up living with the poor boy’s mother, who nitpicked her daily—saying she didn’t know how to cook, didn’t do housework, complained that her makeup was too expensive, and even accused her of dressing nicely to seduce someone.

Siya became emotionally exhausted. Later, when she got pregnant, she tried to learn how to cook. But when it came time to give birth, her mother-in-law wouldn’t let her go to the hospital, insisting she could give birth at home. “I gave birth to my son at home too, and it was fine!”

The result… Siya hemorrhaged during childbirth and died before she could even be taken to the hospital. Both mother and child were lost.

After her death, the Fu Family finally learned what she had been through and went to confront Qu Qinghua. They knocked the poor boy to the ground—punch after punch—knocking out two of his front teeth, shouting repeatedly: “Why did you treat Siya like that? Why? How could you not take her to the hospital to give birth? Why?”

Later on, Qu Qinghua stayed in front of Fu Siya’s tombstone for three days and three nights. No matter who came to persuade him, it was no use. In the end, he collapsed from exhaustion and was carried home. Three days later, he passed away too.

When Qiao Yanyan had read this part in the book, she had truly felt heartache. Qu Qinghua had loved Fu Siya for eight whole years, but never told her. In the end, she died, and he lost the will to live…

Fu Siya was very surprised that her eldest sister-in-law would ask such a question. Her eyes widened as she said: “Qu Qinghua? Eldest Sister-in-law, why are you bringing him up?”

“I just wanted to ask—what do you think of Qu Qinghua?”

“He’s like a big brother I grew up with. Eldest Sister-in-law, you’re not trying to set us up, are you? I don’t have any feelings for him. Since we were young, I’ve always treated him as my big brother, the same way I see Big Brother and Second Brother.”

Qiao Yanyan gently stroked her hair and said tenderly: “Siya, you really are so beautiful. You’ve lived such a happy life since you were little, the youngest child in the Fu family, always doted on by your two older brothers, and spoiled by your parents…”

Then why did you choose that poor boy? I just can’t understand.

It had to be the damned author’s fault. In the novel, aside from the male and female leads who had a happy ending (HE), all the supporting characters had tragic endings (BE).

Despicable author!

Fu Siya felt her eldest sister-in-law was being a little strange.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, what’s going on with you? You’re acting weird.”

“It’s nothing. Sometimes, someone close to you might have liked you for a long time… and you just never noticed.”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, are you talking about Qinghua? Did he say something to you?”

“No. Don’t overthink it. Qu Qinghua didn’t tell me anything.”

“Then how do you know what Qinghua is thinking?”

“I was just speaking casually.”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t brush me off! Eldest Sister-in-law\…” Fu Siya shook her arm.

—

Li Wanjun pulled Fu Shiyuan into a room. Fu Shiyuan still looked reluctant and said: “Mom, what are you doing? If Wife can’t find me later, she’ll worry.”

“I just want to talk to you for a bit. Once we’re done, you can go back to your Wife.”

“Oh. Mom, what do you want to talk about?”

Li Wanjun pulled her son to sit on the sofa and said: “Shiyuan, do you sleep in the same bed with your Wife at night?”

“Of course I do.” Fu Shiyuan said proudly, then added: “We sleep on the same bed!”

“Mom knows that. I’m asking—do you cuddle with Yanyan at night when you sleep?”

“No. Wife says she can’t sleep if I’m too close, so I stay a little bit away from her.” Fu Shiyuan pouted. He wanted to hold his Wife while sleeping, but he was afraid she wouldn’t sleep well, so he didn’t.

“Let me ask you again—have you two ever kissed on the lips?”

Fu Shiyuan blushed and shook his head. “No.”

“Do you want to kiss your Wife?”

“Yes! I do!”

“Then why haven’t you?”

“I… I forgot! I’ll kiss her tonight!”

“Shiyuan, listen to Mom. When you go to bed with Yanyan tonight, you can take off your clothes and cuddle with her. Then kiss her—not on the cheek, but on the lips. Mouth to mouth, understand? Yanyan will really like that. Even if she says she doesn’t like it, she’s just pretending. She actually enjoys cuddling with you.”

Fu Shiyuan’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really, Mom?”

“Really. Mom wouldn’t lie to you. Remember—after taking a shower, go to bed, take off your clothes, cuddle with Yanyan, and kiss her. It’s even better if you can help her take off her clothes too…”

By the time Li Wanjun finished saying that, her face was completely red.

She was already in her fifties, and here she was, teaching her son this kind of thing. Honestly…

“Did you remember everything Mom said?”

Fu Shiyuan nodded with a bright smile. “I remembered, Mom.”

“Alright, then go wait for Yanyan in your room.”

“Oh. Good night, Mom.”

With that, Fu Shiyuan quickly headed to his room. His Wife hadn’t arrived yet, so he washed up and got ready to wait for her.

After taking a shower, he sat on the bed waiting for his Wife. Sure enough, she arrived. He got out of bed and walked toward Qiao Yanyan.
