He felt that it looked better when the four of them were together than when they were alone.
Fang Yusheng had already noticed his actions. After Fang Zicheng finished drawing, Fang Yusheng walked over and quickly took out his phone to take a photo. Fang Zikai had already started drawing turtles, elephants, and Doraemon at the side. Fang Yusheng asked Fang Zicheng to keep an eye on Fang Zikai before looking at Dongli Ao.
Dongli Ao was looking at Fang Zicheng’s painting. He was very quiet and his eyes were calm.
Fang Yusheng knew that he was thinking of his father.
Perhaps to society, Dongli Shenghua was a tumor, but to Dongli Ao, Dongli Shenghua was only his father.
Dongli Ao was in a daze and felt sad.
He missed his father a little, but he would never see him again.
Uncle Fang’s voice suddenly sounded beside him. “Shall we talk?”
Dongli Ao looked up at Uncle Fang.
Under the sunlight, Uncle Fang’s brown hair shone gently, and his green eyes looked especially beautiful. Dongli Ao tilted his head and heard Fang Yusheng say, “How about a conversation between men?”
He smiled and nodded.
Dongli Ao matured faster. He was already 1.46 meters tall. When he stood beside Fang Yusheng, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, he reached his chest. When the two of them stood together, they looked a little like a father and son. They sat down on a huge rock.
Fang Yusheng held a bag of small steamed buns in his hand. He ate two and asked Dongli Ao, “Want one?”
Dongli Ao shook his head. “I don’t like it.”
Fang Yusheng nodded and ignored him. He ate alone and did not feel that there was anything wrong with a grown man eating small steamed buns. Dongli Ao’s mental fortitude was very high. He was Dongli Shenghua’s son after all. His courage and knowledge were not something ordinary children could compare to.
He sat down beside Fang Yusheng and spoke first. He said, “Uncle wants to ask me what I think of my father?”
Fang Yusheng glanced at him and did not deny it.
He was actually a little shocked in his heart. This child’s observation skills were quite good.
Dongli Ao muttered to himself, “I know. Our neighbors look down on my father and even hate my father. Even so, they don’t like me very much. They don’t allow their children to be friends with me.” After a pause, Dongli Ao said, “Of course, you’re an exception.”
Fang Yusheng snorted.
Dongli Ao said, “But no matter what that person does, he’s still my father.” Dongli Ao’s eyes were moist. No matter how mature he was, he was still a child. He rubbed his eyes. The sand had gone in and he felt uncomfortable. He rubbed them again and his eyes turned red.
“What can I do? He’s my father. I still love him even if he sells drugs.”
Fang Yusheng threw another small steamed bun into his mouth.
As he chewed, he said, “You didn’t do anything wrong.” After thinking about it, Fang Yusheng still reached out and touched Dongli Ao’s hair. He was in no hurry to retract his hand. He stared at the child’s face beside him and said seriously, “You love your father. This is right, but you have to understand that what your father did was wrong.”
“I know…”
“Xiao Ao, do you hate those people? The police who took your father away.” Fang Yusheng still asked this question.
Dongli Ao shook his head.
“At first, there was resentment, but later on, I don’t hate them anymore.” Dongli Ao forced a smile on his face. He asked Fang Yusheng, “Uncle Fang, why are you willing to let Kai Kai and Cheng Cheng play with me?” Dongli Ao asked in a sharp tone that did not match his age. “Aren’t you afraid that I, the son of a drug lord, will lead them astray?”
Fang Yusheng didn’t say anything like “I believe you’re a good child”, but he said, “I’m their father. I’m always standing behind them. If you dare to harm them, I’ll kill you.” When he said this, Fang Yusheng’s gaze was fierce.
Dongli Ao was stunned. He was frightened by Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng chuckled again, but this did not comfort Dongli Ao. Dongli Ao asked him what he was laughing at, and Fang Yusheng said, “They chose their friends themselves. They have to learn to differentiate between good and bad.”
Upon hearing this, Dongli Ao thought about it and asked, “Are you serious?”
Fang Yusheng looked at him and said, “It’s fake.”
Dongli Ao was speechless.
“But the first sentence is true.” If you dare to harm them, I’ll kill you. These words were true. The following words were all Fang Yusheng’s nonsense. Knowing what Dongli Ao was curious about, Fang Yusheng did not beat around the bush with him and said directly, “There have always been people monitoring you around.”
Dongli Ao’s expression froze.
He had never realized it.
Fang Yusheng was not afraid that Dongli Ao would find out. He said honestly and fearlessly, “I know exactly what kind of person you are, what your ideals are, and what you will do in the future.”
Fang Yusheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the horizon. He said meaningfully, “How rare. The son of a drug lord actually wants to be a narcotics police officer.”
Upon hearing this, Dongli Ao finally believed that Fang Yusheng was really sending someone to monitor him.
He heard Fang Yusheng ask, “Can you tell me why you want to be a narcotics police officer?”
The child frowned, looking very vexed.
He sighed one last time and said something quite profound, unlike a child his age. He said, “I don’t want more children like me to become orphans at a young age. Drugs will destroy people’s families.”
His father had ruined many families.
It was God’s retribution for making him an orphan.
Dongli Ao wanted to be a narcotics police officer. He wanted to make sure that there were fewer people like his father and fewer children who were as lonely and helpless as him.
Fang Yusheng looked at Dongli Ao again with admiration.
…
Beauty Wu was five months pregnant, and her abdomen was already bulging.
She was taking care of the fetus at home, but Wei Shuyi was still at work as usual. When Qiao Jiusheng arrived, Beauty Wu was worried that she had nothing to do. After knowing that the baby in her stomach was very healthy, Beauty Wu was relieved. Hence, she could eat and sleep, and her entire body became more voluptuous.
When Qiao Jiusheng saw her, the first thing she said was, “You’ve gained weight.” Beauty Wu had been especially thin before, but now that she had gained weight, she looked more charming.
Beauty Wu, who was bare-faced, looked very pure. She had not used those cosmetics recently, and even skincare products which were harmless to pregnant women. Her face revealed a healthy blush. Qiao Jiusheng touched her face and said, “Indeed, carrying a daughter can make your skin better.”
Beauty Wu teased her. “Then you should get pregnant too.”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “I want to.”
“Does your Mr. Fang still not want a child?”
“Yes.” Qiao Jiusheng did not want to say this. The more she said, the more depressed she felt, so she thought about changing the topic.
