Shi Yulin gently patted her back, “I’m not angry. As long as you obediently be the lady of the Shi family in the future and take care of the family and Yueyue, it’s fine.”

Knowing that he still harbored resentment, Sheng Lanqiu pinched her fingers into her palm, but her face showed a gentle smile, “I understand.”

She lowered her head slightly, hiding the twisted expression of gnashing her teeth.

Damn it, it’s all because of Shi Cheng. It must be a problem on his end! She had said before that Shi Cheng was completely unreliable and might cause problems. However, the Shi family insisted on letting him take charge!

If she had known that the Shi family was so unreliable, she would never have revealed this information so early. After this incident, Feng Shaoyun’s people around him would definitely be cleaned up, and the Feng family would not have any more problems, right?

——Such a great opportunity was missed. What a waste!

Due to staying up late the night before, Sheng Xia was awakened by a phone call the next day.

She didn’t even see who was calling, and after hanging up with her eyes closed, she casually threw the phone to the pillow beside her. She blinked hard, trying to resist the urge to fall back asleep.

The bed was so comfortable, she didn’t want to get up at all.

“…Xia Xia?”

The man’s deep and magnetic voice was too pleasant to hear, as if it could hypnotize her, echoing in her ears, making Sheng Xia even more sleepy. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and unconsciously, she fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, she had completely forgotten about the morning. Yawning lazily, Sheng Xia sat up from the bed and heard a voice coming from beside her pillow, “Are you awake, Xia Xia?”

Huh?

She keenly recognized it was Feng Yan’s voice. Sheng Xia turned her head and saw her phone, which she had casually thrown aside, was still in a call.

So the call this morning was from her dear husband, and she accidentally answered it by pressing the wrong button?

Sheng Xia raised her eyebrows, picked up the phone, and saw Feng Yan, who was working with his head down, obviously working while waiting for her to wake up.

She greeted him with a smile without any guilt, “Good morning, husband.”

The sleep was especially comfortable, and Sheng Xia’s originally pale face now had a hint of blush from waking up. The low-cut nightgown made her fair and slender neck, as well as her delicate collarbone, more prominent.

She was now casually leaning against the head of the bed, her eyelashes trembling slightly when she looked at him. Her lazy and beautiful eyes, even her smile, were exceptionally lazy and alluring.

Feng Yan’s gaze shifted away politely and nodded slightly, “Good morning.”

Both of them seemed to ignore the fact that it was already eleven o’clock.

“I was so sleepy this morning that I couldn’t get up. I originally wanted to hang up but pressed the wrong button. Honey, you’re not mad at me, are you?” Sheng Xia blinked at him, and before he could reply, she gently reminded him, “Actually, you can just hang up the phone directly, no need to wait.”

Seeing her unapologetically shifting the blame, Feng Yan couldn’t help but laugh and pushed aside the documents on the table, “It’s okay, just waited for a while, it didn’t affect anything.”

“I already know about yesterday. Thanks to you for picking up Shaoyu, we discovered the Shi family’s scheme in time. Otherwise, the Feng family would definitely have problems.” Without waiting for Sheng Xia to ask, Feng Yan stated his purpose, “Is there anything you want, Xia Xia?”

Huh? There’s such a good thing?

Sheng Xia suddenly became energetic and was about to speak seriously when she was interrupted by Feng Yan, “Of course, except for sending me away from home.”

Sheng Xia: “…” Tsk, this man, he’s learned to interrupt now.

Seeing her momentarily crestfallen look, Feng Yan’s black eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of amusement. He spoke calmly, “Even a money-making machine needs rest. And you have to come back to deal with the Shi family’s matters, otherwise, if you delay Xia Xia’s spending, it won’t be good.”

“Xia Xia shouldn’t be so cold and heartless as to drive the donkey that supports the family out of the house, right?”

Nonsense, the donkey from the production team doesn’t need to rest.

“How could that be?” Sheng Xia leaned against the head of the bed, tucking her hair behind her ear, sounding aggrieved, “I love you so much, how could I bear to not let you come home? How could you misunderstand me like this?”

Feng Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, “Then I can rest assured. So, Xia Xia, is there anything else you want?”

Since he said so, Sheng Xia didn’t hesitate to say, “I remember you have several houses in Bihuan Garden. I quite like the environment there. How about giving me one?”

The four-story townhouse is not important. The main thing is that I like the beautiful environment there, which is suitable for health preservation.

“Bihuan Garden?” Feng Yan pondered for a moment, and seeing the dangerous squint in the woman’s eyes opposite him, he knew what she wanted.

He must be cursing himself inside. He couldn’t help but laugh as he explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, it’s just that those houses have already been transferred to you. Wasn’t that the gift I promised to give you?”

Sheng Xia: ?

So, just a few seconds later, Feng Yan watched as she, who had just been smiling, suddenly transformed into a well-behaved and obedient look, as if she had instantly become docile, her black eyes shining like gems, “Wow, husband is so nice! I really love husband so much!”

Listening to her voice suddenly become so sweet, Feng Yan was speechless.

Unable to resist the urge to smile, he covered his slightly upturned lips with his fist, and his cold and proud eyebrows softened, making him appear less distant.

He thought for a moment, “Does Xia Xia want to soak in a hot spring? I have a hot spring manor there, with a dedicated massage team. You can call them whenever you’re uncomfortable. Or maybe an island? The environment there is very comfortable, perfect for a vacation. When your leg is better, you can go there.”

Wow, being a generous husband is really something.

Sheng Xia was all energized, her black eyes shining brightly. However, she still hesitated and said, “Oh, husband, you don’t need to be so polite. Your black card is in my hands. You can buy whatever you want. There’s no need to go to such trouble to compensate me.”

“Well…”

Afraid that her dear husband would take it seriously, she quickly added, “Of course, if husband really wants to thank me for the contribution I made to the Feng family, I wouldn’t mind accepting both sets as a token of appreciation.”

After receiving several gifts, it was obvious that Feng Yan was very selective. Therefore, anything chosen by Feng Yan would definitely not be ordinary. Only children have to choose, adults naturally want everything!

Soaking in hot springs in winter, vacationing on a small island in summer, changing villas in spring and autumn—what kind of fairy-tale life was this?!

Sheng Xia had already arranged her retirement life satisfactorily.

Feng Yan nodded and thanked her again, “Thank you, Xia Xia, for picking up Shaoyun this time. I will handle the rest. You don’t have to worry. Do whatever you want.”

Sheng Xia certainly wasn’t worried. With Feng Yan’s methods, as long as the Shi family didn’t want to really offend him, they would definitely have to pay a hefty price. How exactly that would happen had nothing to do with her. As long as the meal ticket didn’t suddenly run away and the Shi family didn’t go bankrupt, causing the plot to collapse, she just needed to lie down peacefully.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to understand, Feng Yan reminded her helplessly, “You don’t need to worry about the Sheng family either. They won’t bother you.”

Oh right, Sheng Xia suddenly realized that if Feng Yan was dealing with the Shi family, Sheng Lanqiu would definitely go back and complain.

During this period of time, besides Sheng Lanqiu occasionally seeking attention, she had never been approached by anyone else. She had long forgotten that she still had cheap parents.

But since Feng Yan made such a promise, the people from the Sheng family would definitely not come to cause trouble again. It had to be said that mature men were indeed more reliable.

Sheng Xia couldn’t help but feel grateful in her heart. If only he could really not come home and just provide for the family. Sigh.

With a sigh in her heart, Sheng Xia smiled sweetly and said, “I didn’t even think about this. You’re so considerate, thank you, husband!”

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xia suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to mention something to Feng Yan. However, after thinking carefully, she couldn’t remember what it was.

It was probably not important, so she decided to give up and pushed the wheelchair downstairs directly.

“…Sister-in-law, you’re awake?”

Hearing the noise, Feng Shaoyu turned his head to see Sheng Xia and greeted her weakly.

Seeing his unusually dejected appearance, Sheng Xia raised her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

With this question, Feng Shaoyu’s expression became even more defeated. He slumped on the sofa and sighed deeply, staring at the ceiling. Beside him, Feng Shaoyun occasionally glanced at him, pursing her lips with some concern.

“Of course, it’s because of yesterday’s incident. He was scolded by his brother.” Feng Jingxu curled his lips, then looked at Sheng Xia with disdain. “You really can sleep. It’s already noon, and fortunately, Little Aunt Shaoyun didn’t wait for you.”

Feng Shaoyun raised her head in panic, trying to explain, “I didn’t…”

“Enough, sister-in-law was too tired last night. Just say a few less words, don’t involve Shaoyun.” Feng Shaoyu tapped his nephew’s head casually. “Also, he’s your dad. He just asked specifically about your condition.”

Feng Jingxu sneered and turned his head in disdain. “Do I need him to worry? I’m almost recovered. If it weren’t for the variety show, I would have gone back to school.”

Although he was already a popular top star in the entertainment industry, he was still just a 17-year-old boy who needed to go to school.

Therefore, even though he had been recuperating at home for the past two months, he hadn’t forgotten to study with the specially hired tutors to keep up with the school’s progress.

“Oh, by the way, isn’t the end-of-the-world theme park opening in a few days? I happen to have a few VIP tickets from a friend.” Feng Shaoyu glanced at his phone and suddenly became spirited. “Are you interested, sister-in-law, Little Xu? What about Shao Yun?”

“…Not interested.”

Sheng Xia shook her head. She really didn’t want to see those things again.

However, seeing her looking so weak and afraid, Feng Jingxu’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly became excited. “Of course, I’m interested! The program is also being recorded at that time. Why don’t we go together?”

He stared at Sheng Xia intently, with a hint of provocation in his tone. “Hey, are you scared?”

Sheng Xia:?

This eldest son was really something else…

She smiled, “Of course not.” I was afraid you might cry. 🙂
