“Sister Yunsheng, I’m quite silly.” Fang Yuqing bitterly smiled. “He only shed a few tears, but I couldn’t bear to see him like that. I hugged him to comfort him, but he went too far…” She had only slept with Hu Cheng once. It was only once and that too during the safe period, yet she still got pregnant.
“How could someone who truly loves me take advantage of me under such circumstances?” Fang Yuqing shook her head. “I pity that child for coming to the wrong person.”
Qiao Jiusheng understood what she meant.
Fang Yuqing had been young and blind; she had made a mistake. It was enough for her to take responsibility. There was no need to implicate the scumbag.
However, this was Fang Yuqing’s choice. If Qiao Jiusheng were in her position, she would make that jerk pay.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Have some duck soup.”
“Okay.”
After Fang Yuqing drank the soup, Qiao Jiusheng carried the food container downstairs. She was about to take a taxi home when she saw Qi Bufan standing at the entrance of the hospital.
“Bufan? Why are you here?”
Qi Bufan said, “Madam, Young Master is here to pick you up.”
Qiao Jiusheng looked behind Qi Bufan. Sure enough, a Volkswagen was parked there.
Qi Bufan and she walked to the Volkswagen car. Qiao Jiusheng opened the back door and got in. She placed the container on Fang Yusheng’s lap. It was a little hot in the car, so she took off her jacket and placed it in his arms. Fang Yusheng obediently held the items for her and asked, “Is she okay?”
“She’s alive.”
Fang Yusheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he did not say it, he was very worried about Fang Yuqing. In this family, Fang Yuqing had the best relationship with him. “What did you talk to her about?”
Qiao Jiusheng smiled. “Our first loves.”
“First love…” Fang Yusheng repeatedly tasted the word on the tip of his tongue and curiously asked, “What’s there to talk about?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “We chatted and came to a conclusion. We realized that first loves die young.”
Fang Yusheng chuckled.
Qiao Jiusheng could hear the disapproval in his laughter. She stared at him and could not help but ask, “Why? You don’t agree?”
“Yeah, I don’t.”
“Don’t tell me that you think your first love can last forever.” Qiao Jiusheng’s tone was filled with laughter. She was laughing at Fang Yusheng’s innocence.
Fang Yusheng nodded and seriously said, “Yes.”
Qiao Jiusheng sneered. “I couldn’t tell that you were this naive, Fang Yusheng.” She mocked him. Seeing Fang Yusheng’s expression remain serious, she asked, “Tell me! How many people have you seen get together with their first love?” As far as she knew, she, Fang Yuqing, and Wei Xin had not ended well with their first loves.
Fang Yusheng said, “Me.”
“Huh?”
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.
You?
She looked Fang Yusheng up and down several times before pointing at herself and saying, “If I remember correctly, I’m your wife.” Qiao Jiusheng blinked and confusedly asked, “From what you’re saying, could it be that I’m your first love?”
Fang Yusheng stared at her and only smiled. He admitted it. “Yes.”
His eyes were filled with a bright smile, as well as her beautiful face.
Qiao Jiusheng’s heart suddenly beat faster.
She lowered her fingers and curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile. With an uneasy smile, she said. “You’re really good at telling jokes.”
How could I be his first love?
“I’m not telling a joke.” Fang Yusheng held her hand and played with it in his palm. He seriously said, “Ah Sheng, you’re my first love.”
Qiao Jiusheng wanted to laugh, but she could not say anything in front of Fang Yusheng’s serious gaze.
After remaining silent for a while, she said, “Fang Yusheng, stop teasing me. We didn’t know each other before.” She did not believe Fang Yusheng at all. She knew better than anyone that Fang Yusheng had a hidden sweetheart in his heart, but that person was not her.
Qiao Jiusheng’s attitude hurt Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng recalled what she had said when they first met. He asked Qiao Jiusheng, “The first time you came to find me, you said that I couldn’t marry any woman because there was someone hidden in my heart.” Fang Yusheng turned his head and stared at her. “How did you know that there was someone in my heart?”
Qiao Jiusheng mysteriously smiled. “It’s a secret.” She would not tell him that she had already died once.
Fang Yusheng looked confused. “There’s something I find strange.”
“What?” Qiao Jiusheng subconsciously asked.
Fang Yusheng asked her with a puzzled expression, “Why do you know that there’s someone in my heart but not who it is?”
Qiao Jiusheng did not answer. She took out her phone and played with it, but she was complaining in her heart: It’s not that I don’t know who that person is, but even you don’t know who she is.
Fang Yusheng stared at the person playing with her phone, feeling puzzled.
Isn’t this strange?
Only Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng knew about his interactions with Qiao Jiusheng in Meng Hai. Even Ah Nuo and Qi Bufan only knew that Fang Yusheng had a person he liked and not anything else. It was not surprising that Qiao Jiusheng knew about this. However, the strange thing was that since she knew about this, why did she not know that the person was her?
“Ah Sheng.”
Hearing Fang Yusheng call her, Qiao Jiusheng looked up from the phone screen. Her gaze landed on Fang Yusheng’s face. “Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Fang Yusheng said, “Come with me to a place tomorrow, okay?”
“Where?”
“A fun place.”
Qiao Jiusheng slyly smiled. She reached out to touch his face, almost hanging onto him.
The intimacy distracted Fang Yusheng a little.
Just as he held her hand, which was touching him, he heard her say, “Sure, I’ll accompany you, but you have to pay for anything I buy. If you think that’s okay, I’ll accompany you no matter what.”
Fang Yusheng cautiously asked, “Will my card go over the limit?”
“Perhaps.”
Even though he might face the possibility of maxing out his card, when he returned to the house, Fang Yusheng still packed his luggage and asked Qi Bufan to book a plane ticket.
Qiao Jiusheng saw that he was packing almost all summer clothes, and most of them were suitable for beach sightseeing. She asked Fang Yusheng, “Are we going to the beach?”
“Yeah.”
