Chapter 96: Put Me Down, Put Me Down, Please Put Me Down…

Wei Yuxian exchanged glances with Mr. and Mrs. Fu. After a moment, she suddenly turned her head and buried it in Fu Xuanyi’s embrace.

Can’t show my face!

Ah! She forgot that Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu were still here!

This, this, this… They woke up so late, and she was still being carried downstairs by Fu Xuanyi. What would they think of her?

Wei Yuxian felt extremely anxious!

She whispered to Fu Xuanyi’s ear, “Put me down, put me down, please put me down…”

Her words were cute and pleading.

Fu Xuanyi didn’t listen and continued carrying her, calling out, “Mom, Dad.”

Both Mr. and Mrs. Fu were seasoned individuals who had experienced all sorts of situations. Seeing the affection between the two, they couldn’t be happier.

It’s just that Yuxian was too shy, not even daring to lift her head.

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, “You’re up, Yuxian, you must be hungry, right?”

She wouldn’t have felt hungry if Mrs. Fu hadn’t mentioned it, but now that she did, Wei Yuxian felt like her stomach was empty, as if she hadn’t eaten for ten years.

Since it was an elder asking, she couldn’t just stay silent. So, she shyly lifted her head, looked at Mrs. Fu, then quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere after seeing the smile on her face, softly muttering, “Um.”

Mrs. Fu quickly added, “Xuanyi, take Yuxian to have breakfast quickly, don’t let her starve.”

Fu Xuanyi grunted and carried the shy little rabbit, who didn’t dare to face anyone, to the dining table.

Behind them, there was Mrs. Fu’s soft laughter.

Hearing Mrs. Fu’s laughter, Wei Yuxian felt even more embarrassed!

In that moment, she wished she were an ostrich, so she could bury her head in the ground and avoid the embarrassment!

Unfortunately, she wasn’t an ostrich, and she couldn’t bury her head in the ground.

As they walked a bit further, Wei Yuxian continued to whisper softly in Fu Xuanyi’s ear, “Put me down, please put me down quickly…”

Being looked at like that by them, she had to save face!

Today, even if she had to use her hands, she would walk on her own!

Fu Xuanyi comforted her, saying, “It’s okay, dear.”

It’s not okay! It’s really not okay!

She had been pleading in Fu Xuanyi’s ear all the way to the dining table, and finally, her wish was granted when they arrived. But at this point, it didn’t really matter anymore.

Her stomach was growling fiercely, and feeling a bit angry, she ignored Fu Xuanyi and ate breakfast by herself.

She didn’t realize that now, in front of Fu Xuanyi, she was becoming more and more like a lively person.

In the past, in front of Fu Xuanyi, she wouldn’t dare to be angry, not even to look at him.

But now, she dared to be angry with him, which was a significant improvement!

She didn’t notice, but Fu Xuanyi did, and he was quite satisfied with her changing behavior. He thought that the more she revealed in front of him, the better.

With this in mind, a slight smile crept onto his lips.

While Wei Yuxian was having breakfast, she sneakily glanced at him to see what expression he had now, only to find him smiling!

She felt so embarrassed, yet he was smiling!

Ah! What was he thinking!

Wasn’t he embarrassed at all, even in front of his parents!

As it turned out, this man had quite a thick skin, not feeling embarrassed at all!

Wei Yuxian became even more angry, scooping up a spoonful of porridge and swallowing it all in one gulp!

Turning anger into appetite!

Her pouty expression, combined with her furious eating, made her look like a cute little squirrel munching away. She was already adorable, but with this expression, she became even more so.

How could there be such an adorable person in this world?

Fu Xuanyi couldn’t help but think.

Wei Yuxian finished her breakfast with gusto, feeling full, and slumped in her chair, not wanting to move.

Fu Xuanyi, having finished his meal as well, wiped his mouth and thought since the weather was nice and it wasn’t snowing, he asked her, “Do you want to go out and play?”

Wei Yuxian’s eyes shifted to look at him. She did want to go out and play, but with her current condition, how could she possibly go out to play?!

This person really had no sense of timing!

Couldn’t he see that her body wasn’t suitable for going out to play right now?!

Wei Yuxian withdrew her gaze and muttered, “No.”

Fu Xuanyi also realized that her body wasn’t suitable for going out, so he could only say, “I’ll take you out in a few days.”

After eating, Wei Yuxian’s body regained some strength, and she didn’t feel as weak and sore. She could walk, albeit a bit slower.

In the following days, Wei Yuxian focused on recuperating, feeling like she had been drained of energy.

After recovering, she was finally able to go out and play!

She eagerly waited for Fu Xuanyi to take her out, and he did take her out for two days, but then stopped.

Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, they needed to prepare for the festivities.

Wei Yuxian was also happy to prepare for the New Year. She went with Mrs. Fu to buy various items for the celebration, purchasing lots of festive goods!

She enjoyed the lively atmosphere, feeling delighted by the crowds and the festive spirit of the New Year.

Back home, she wasn’t qualified to prepare for the New Year. Instead, she had to clean the house, do the thorough cleaning, and cook for the family.

She was solely responsible for all the household chores, and if she couldn’t finish them on time, she wouldn’t even get to eat!

So, every time during the New Year preparations, her foster parents would take her brothers to buy New Year goods, while she had to stay home alone, facing the yellowed walls and dark dirt.

For her, the New Year wasn’t a pleasant memory. Her New Year’s money would all be taken by her mother, not leaving a penny! Moreover, her mother would make her compensate in front of all the relatives!

She didn’t like celebrating the New Year, nor did she want to see those so-called relatives.

But now it was different. In the Fu’s residence, she experienced a sense of home like never before.

She was qualified to prepare for the New Year, and Mrs. Fu entrusted the decision-making on purchases to her, letting her buy whatever she liked.

Mrs. Fu would also gently stroke her head, calling her Yuxian, treating her as if she were her own child.

This made Wei Yuxian even more eager to know about her biological parents, wondering what kind of people they were and if they would love their child like Mrs. Fu did.

Would they be kind to her after so many years of separation?

Wei Yuxian had told anyone about these thoughts.

Fu Xuanyi helping her find her parents was already good enough. She didn’t need to let him know about these thoughts.

Days passed by like this, and Wei Yuxian became increasingly familiar with life at the Fu mansion, growing closer to Mrs. Fu.

She thought to herself that even if she were to leave the Fu’s residence in the future, she wouldn’t forget Mrs. Fu.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, it was time for the New Year’s Eve dinner. After today, a new year would arrive!

Wei Yuxian no longer had morning sickness and wanted to cook a dish or two in the kitchen. Fu Xuanyi initially objected, but she insisted. With the help of the chefs, Fu Xuanyi finally agreed.

It was also on this day that Lu Chengxiao returned, bringing news about Wei Yuxian’s biological parents.
