Master Tang shook his head and said, “I’m here to visit a friend. I couldn’t remember where he lived just now, but when I saw you, I suddenly remembered.” Master Tang spoke as if he was speaking the truth. “My friend lives in the building next door. It’s almost time for dinner. I can’t be late.”

Master Tang directed and acted on his own. The scene was a little awkward.

Fang Yusheng watched as Master Tang walked into the building next door. He looked at Qiao Jiusheng and both of them pretended not to know.

Taking the children upstairs, Fang Yusheng stood at the window of the corridor and looked downstairs when he walked out of the elevator. They saw Master Tang walking out of the building next door and standing under their building. He looked up for a moment before turning to leave.

For some reason, Qiao Jiusheng felt a little sad. “I heard that Master Tang and his wife were also very close. Later on, his wife died in a car accident, and his only daughter married overseas. It wasn’t easy either.”

Fang Yusheng remained silent.

Before dinner, Lisa received a text from Master Tang. In the text, he apologized tactfully, indicating that he wanted to congratulate her on her marriage with Chi Baoguang. However, because he was busy, he could not spare any time. He could only regret that he was absent.

Lisa understood that Master Tang was deliberately making up an excuse to save face.

Chi Baoguang took the phone from her hand and looked at the message. He snorted. “At least he knows his place.”

Lisa just smiled.

Chi Baoguang’s old love rival had been killed by him in one move.

…

Tonight’s meal was firstly to celebrate the fact that Chi Baoguang and Lisa had finally gotten married and registered their marriage. Secondly, it was to celebrate Qiao Jiusheng’s second pregnancy.

The banquet was very sumptuous. Lisa and Chi Baoguang had prepared it personally.

Qiao Jiusheng had just gotten pregnant and did not have any pregnancy symptoms yet. She had eaten a lot. After dinner, Qiao Jiusheng called the two babies over.

Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai sat on the sofa opposite Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Zicheng sat upright. One look and one could tell that he was a child who valued etiquette. Fang Zikai leaned unsteadily against the sofa, as if he had been born without a backbone.

From their sitting positions, one could tell the personalities of these two brothers.

“Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you.”

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng’s expressions were extremely serious.

Fang Zicheng nodded with a serious expression, indicating that he was ready to listen. Fang Zikai also adjusted his sitting posture unconsciously. He and his eldest brother were sitting side by side. He couldn’t help but ask Fang Yusheng, “Dad, what do you want to tell us?”

Fang Yusheng held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and said, “Next, I want to announce something.”

Fang Zicheng and his brother stared at their parents’ tightly clenched hands and nodded. “Yes, go ahead.”

“Let me tell you.” Qiao Jiusheng patted Fang Yusheng’s hand. After Fang Yusheng agreed, Qiao Jiusheng looked at her two sons. She smiled gently, her charming cheeks looking gentle. She said, “Our family is about to go from a family of six to a family of seven.”

Fang Zicheng was stunned.

Fang Zikai was also stunned for a moment. Then, he counted with his fingers and muttered, “My brother, my parents, my grandparents and I…” Fang Zikai raised his six fingers and said, “There are exactly six.”

But his mother had just said that a family of six was about to become a family of seven.

Then…

Fang Zikai was dumbfounded. He asked Qiao Jiusheng loudly, “Where is the other person?”

Before Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng could reply, Fang Zicheng spoke. “He’s in Mom’s stomach.” He was answering Fang Zikai’s question.

Hearing this, Fang Zikai couldn’t help but gasp.

“Oh!” He took a deep breath and said, “Mommy’s pregnant?”

“I see.”

Seeing Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng nod at the same time, Fang Zikai almost cried. “Dad, Mom, are Brother and I disobedient?”

The two adults looked at each other.

Lisa, who had been sitting quietly at the side, heard this and asked Fang Zikai curiously, “Kai Kai, what do you think?”

Fang Zikai pursed his lips. Tears flickered in his eyes.

Before this, Qiao Jiusheng had already thought about how the two children would react after learning the truth about her pregnancy. Seeing Fang Zikai’s reaction, Qiao Jiusheng’s heart sank. “Kai Kai, do you not like this baby?” Qiao Jiusheng’s tone was heavy.

Fang Yusheng’s brow was tightly furrowed. His slender eyes narrowed, and his green eyes flickered.

If the children didn’t like the arrival of this little fellow, that would be troublesome.

The entire family was staring at Fang Zikai, including Fang Zicheng.

Fang Zicheng said, “We’ll have a younger brother or sister.” After a pause, Fang Zicheng said seriously, “I think this is good.” He knew that his parents were very worried about him. Actually, Fang Zicheng was also aware of the situation. He hoped that his parents would have another child. In the future, if he disappointed them, there would still be younger siblings to coax them.

Of course, Fang Zicheng could only think about these things in his heart.

If Qiao Jiusheng and the others knew what their eldest child was thinking, they would probably be even more heartbroken.

Fang Zikai said to Fang Zicheng, “What do you know! They don’t even love us anymore. Do you still think that’s good?”

Fang Zicheng and the adults were all confused.

“Kai Kai, who said we don’t love you! Nonsense!” Qiao Jiusheng’s expression did not change. She was clearly really angry.

Fang Yusheng also looked at Fang Zikai, waiting for him to explain.

Fang Zikai explained pitifully, “Tong Tong’s mother was pregnant with a younger brother in our class. She said that her mother didn’t plan to have a second child at first. Later on, because Tong Tong was naughty, her mother felt that she was no longer obedient and didn’t love her anymore, so she planned to have another child!”

With that, Fang Zikai’s tears fell.

“They don’t even love us anymore. That’s why they want to have another child!” The more Fang Zikai thought about it, the sadder he became. His tears flowed even faster.

This explanation stunned everyone.

Were all children these days so knowledgeable?

“Kai Kai, that friend of yours named Tong Tong… just because her family is like this doesn’t mean that our family is like this.” Qiao Jiusheng walked to the sofa opposite and sat down. She wanted to carry Fang Zikai, but Fang Zikai struggled. Although he was very angry, he still didn’t dare to touch his mother’s stomach.

Qiao Jiusheng noticed Fang Zikai’s careful movements and was a little touched.

This child was already feeling terrible in his heart, yet he still cared about her and the baby’s comfort. Perhaps in terms of intelligence, Fang Zikai wasn’t as smart as Fang Zicheng, and he wasn’t as sensible and heavy-hearted as his brother in life, but he was a kind child.

Qiao Jiusheng did not expect her children to become successful when they grew up, but her children had to be upright and kind.

Neither Fang Zicheng nor Fang Zikai disappointed her.

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart melted.

She exerted more strength and pulled Fang Zikai into her arms. Fang Zikai lowered his head, refusing to look at her. Qiao Jiusheng rested her chin on her son’s head.
