Wei Yuxian energetically strides ahead, while Mrs. Fu leisurely follows behind, watching her frolic in the snow like a child.
Mr. Fu stands beside Mrs. Fu, remarking, “She’s a good kid.”
Resting her head on his arm, Mrs. Fu replies, “Don’t you trust my judgment? From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she was a good one.”
Wei Yuxian carefully squats down, gloved hands scooping up a handful of snow, watching it in her palms with a silly grin.
What beautiful snow! So much of it!
Despite the servants clearing the courtyard daily, thick layers of snow still accumulate in some spots!
Wei Yuxian purposely seeks out the snowy areas, gathering more and more snow in her hands, intending to build a snowman!
She worked diligently like a little ant, first piling up a small mound of snow, then patting it firmly before using other snow to shape the snowman’s head.
Since it was her first time building a snowman, Wei Yuxian’s enthusiasm was especially high!
In that moment, she didn’t feel the cold at all, her mind wholly focused on building the snowman!
Mrs. Fu walked over, smiling as she joined in building the snowman. Wei Yuxian looked at Mrs. Fu with joy and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Fu!”
With both of them working together, the basic outline of a snowman took shape!
Wei Yuxian looked at the snowman with satisfaction, her face flushed with happiness like a child.
At that moment, Aunt Fu promptly brought over some decorations for the snowman, saying, “Madam, decorating the snowman will make it look even better.”
Wei Yuxian took the decorations and, following what she had seen in TV shows, adorned the snowman with a hat, used branches as arms, wrapped a scarf around it, used a carrot for its nose, added eyes and a mouth, and voila, the snowman was complete!
Wei Yuxian held her breath, quickly taking several photos with her phone. “Mrs. Fu, the snowman we built looks so nice!”
Mrs. Fu was also smiling. “Yes, it does look nice. Do you like it, Yuxian?”
Wei Yuxian replied quickly, without a second thought, “I love it, I love it!”
She truly loved the snow! And she loved the snowman they had built!
Snow was so pure and white, it was beautiful to look at! It could soothe one’s mood, calming even the most restless person.
In her heart, snow had a magical effect!
How wonderful it would be to admire the snow in some scenic places!
Wei Yuxian couldn’t help but fantasize, looking at some stunning snow-viewing spots on her phone, feeling a longing in her heart.
When she earned money on her own in the future, Wei Yuxian was determined to visit such places and explore the beautiful landscapes of her homeland!
Wei Yuxian wasn’t satisfied with just building one snowman; she continued to build another one, and Mrs. Fu didn’t stop her. It was rare to see her so happy, so Mrs. Fu didn’t interrupt her.
She had heard from Aunt Fu that Wei Yuxian had been in a bad mood a few days ago, crying every day, and had almost developed depression. Now, if there was something that could make her so happy, she would let her do it.
Moreover, Wei Yuxian was dressed warmly enough, so she wouldn’t get cold and could enjoy playing in the snow without worries.
Mrs. Fu was not as strict with Wei Yuxian as Fu Xuanyi would have been. If it were Fu Xuanyi, he would never allow Wei Yuxian to stay outside for so long. He was very concerned about her health and didn’t want her to suffer. Being sick during pregnancy was a great ordeal, and he didn’t want her to go through that, so he would be more vigilant.
This time, the snowman Wei Yuxian built was smaller, about half the size of the previous one, and she built two small ones in one go.
Mrs. Fu curiously asked, “Why did you build two small ones? Wouldn’t it be better to build a bigger one?”
Wei Yuxian looked down at her own belly, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I built two small ones because I’m expecting twins. This one is me,” she said, pointing at the three snowmen.
There were three snowmen: the larger one represented herself, and the two smaller ones represented her babies.
In recent days, for some reason, she had been paying special attention to her unborn babies. From initially not feeling much, she had grown fond of them. Gradually, she began to think that these two babies were her only true family, sharing her bloodline.
Until she found other relatives, these two babies were her only family. Her affection for them was growing stronger by the day.
Mrs. Fu understood and gently stroked Wei Yuxian’s face with her hand. “Then let’s build a few more, and we’ll also build Xuanyi and two for us old folks.”
Wei Yuxian was momentarily stunned by the suggestion. Her lips hesitated, and although she initially wanted to refuse, she ultimately didn’t voice any objections. With a soft “Hmm,” she agreed.
They spent a considerable amount of time building three more large snowmen.
As all the snowmen were completed, Wei Yuxian looked at the six figures with mixed feelings. She had agreed to include Fu Xuanyi and the two elders mainly because they were also family to the twins.
Moreover, the elders had been kind to her, and Fu Xuanyi had helped her with many things. So, she decided to include them as well.
Looking at them like this, they really seemed like a family, so harmonious and peaceful. But she knew they weren’t yet a family.
Thinking about this, Wei Yuxian couldn’t help but think of her own family again. She wondered how Fu Xuanyi’s investigation was going and when he would bring back news.
Wei Yuxian sighed and reminded herself that this matter couldn’t be rushed. When the time was right, she would find out.
At that moment, Mrs. Fu approached her for a chat. They sat in the snowy landscape, chatting while admiring the scenery.
While building snowmen, Wei Yuxian hadn’t paid attention to the time, and she wasn’t sure what time it was now. She had only been chatting with Mrs. Fu for a short while when suddenly, she felt someone drape a thick coat over her shoulders from behind.
Turning her head, Wei Yuxian saw Fu Xuanyi standing behind her, his complexion not looking too good. It was evident that the coat draped over her shoulders was placed there by him.
Wei Yuxian’s heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat panicked as she tried to explain, “I… I… Mrs. Fu… she… she allowed it…”
Her voice faltered slightly, her confidence wavering. Though what she said was true, in the face of Fu Xuanyi’s imposing presence, she couldn’t help but feel intimidated.
Fu Xuanyi’s face remained stoic as he inquired, “How long have you been out here?”
Glancing at the snowmen beside them, totaling six, he noted the considerable time it would have taken to build them.
“Not listening obediently,” he remarked sternly.
Wei Yuxian looked at Mrs. Fu before replying hesitantly, “I… I don’t know.”
Indeed, she had lost track of time while engrossed in building the snowmen, unaware of how long she had been outside.
