3 – Baby, is she drinking formula or breast milk now?
Getting the marriage certificate was quick and inexpensive, just 9.9 yuan to settle it.
As they stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the warm breeze from the surrounding streets gently brushed against Sheng Xingyang’s face, lifting her long hair and perfectly revealing her delicate, flawless profile.
Her nose was high and elegant, her lips red and glossy, her chin soft and graceful.
Fu Siyan caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye.
His heart fluttered instantly. She’s so beautiful.
Such a beautiful older sister was finally his alone now.
From now on, he would do everything in his power to bring happiness to her and their baby.
“I’ll take you to the apartment in a moment. Did you bring your luggage?” Sheng Xingyang gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and turned to ask.
Fu Siyan shook his head. “Not yet, but I can have a friend bring it over later?”
The marriage registration had happened so quickly today that he hadn’t even packed his things.
Sheng Xingyang didn’t press further. “Alright, then I’ll take you to my apartment first. It’s not the best, so I hope you don’t mind.”
Though it wasn’t old or shabby, it wasn’t a high-end residential complex either.
How could Fu Siyan possibly mind or complain?
He was overjoyed, wasn’t he?
Gently stroking the hair of the little pink-clad baby in his arms, he smiled and said, “I don’t mind at all. As long as I have a place to stay, it’s fine.”
Even though he had grown up in luxurious villas and palaces…
But… as long as he was with his older sister, he’d be willing to live in a doghouse.
“Alright.” Sheng Xingyang nodded, picked up her bag, and went to hail a taxi.
Fu Siyan, holding the pink-clad baby, followed closely behind her step by step. Once they got into the taxi, he instinctively asked, “Older sister, can you drive?”
Sheng Xingyang shook her head. “No, I haven’t had the time to learn.”
Besides, she had to visit her younger brother in the hospital from time to time, so she hadn’t had the time or energy to learn.
Fu Siyan made a mental note. Next time, he’d help his older sister get a driver’s license and buy her a car.
“Can you drive?” Sheng Xingyang didn’t really want to ask too much, but since he had helped with the baby, she still inquired.
“Yes, we’ll buy a car later,” Fu Siyan said.
Later… With a relationship like theirs, where would there be a “later”?
Sheng Xingyang didn’t believe he would want to spend his life with a woman like her, who already had a child.
Maybe he was just having fun?
Or perhaps Lin Meisu had paid him enough to go on this blind date?
In any case, there was no “later” for them.
After half an hour, the taxi finally arrived at Sheng Xingyang’s apartment.
As she had said, the apartment building was indeed an ordinary one.
Fu Siyan didn’t mind it at all. Instead, he felt a sense of anticipation and excitement, already fantasizing about the sweet, carefree married life he would share with his older sister.
They took the elevator up one after the other.
The apartment was on the 12th floor.
When they reached the floor, Sheng Xingyang took out her keys and opened the door. As it swung open, a faint, pleasant floral scent wafted toward them. He knew then that her apartment would smell just like the delicate fragrance she carried—clean and sweet.
“Come in,” Sheng Xingyang said as she slipped into her soft slippers. “I don’t have men’s slippers, so… you can buy a pair later.”
“And here’s a spare key for you to use.” Sheng Xingyang handed him a spare key.
Fu Siyan took the key and slipped it into his pocket. “Older sister’s home is very cozy.”
“And very clean. I like it.”
Sheng Xingyang glanced at him. This man had a sweet tongue. Though she wasn’t sure what his intentions were, she politely thanked him. “Thank you.”
“Make yourself at home.” Sheng Xingyang reached out toward him. “Thank you for helping me with the baby. She needs her afternoon nap now.”
Fu Siyan nodded and obediently handed the baby to her. “Does she drink formula now, or… breast milk?”
When mentioning breast milk, the man’s gaze instinctively fell on her chest.
Sheng Xingyang sensed it and immediately turned around, saying, “Both.”
“Mixed feeding with breast milk and formula.” Formula was too expensive.
So she usually combined breast milk and formula.
Fortunately, Wanyu didn’t have a high demand for breast milk, only drinking a little at night.
During the day, she was fed formula.
Fu Siyan understood. “Sorry, sister, I didn’t mean to ask on purpose.”
“I want to help you take care of her.”
Sheng Xingyang hummed in agreement, holding Sheng Wanyu as she went into the bedroom to soothe her to sleep. “Make yourself at home.”
Fu Siyan nodded, not disturbing her as she comforted the baby.
After Sheng Xingyang entered the bedroom, Fu Siyan took out his phone from his pocket, walked to the balcony, and called his assistant. “Xu Kun, help me pack my luggage and deliver it to the Xinyuetai Apartment at 114 North South Road.”
Xu Kun knew that his Young Master Fu had secretly gotten married without telling his family and quickly nodded. “Yes, Young Master Fu.”
“Don’t reveal my marriage for now. I’ll explain it to the family after some time.” Fu Siyan wasn’t worried about his family’s opposition.
After all, he was the eldest legitimate son and his grandmother’s favorite.
No one dared to oppose or interfere.
Xu Kun understood. “Yes. By the way, Young Master, the dessert shop you wanted has been purchased. It’s near the TV station.”
Fu Siyan’s lips curved into a smile. “Well done. I’ll reward you with ten thousand later.”
Hearing this, Xu Kun immediately laughed. “Thank you, Young Master Fu.”
“Oh, Young Master Fu, about that Lin Yannan, the young master of the Lin Group you asked me to investigate—I found out that he was originally engaged to Miss Sheng, but it was suddenly called off. Now he’s with the second daughter of the Sheng family and preparing for their engagement. Also, Lin Yannan… seems to be your distant nephew. According to seniority, he should call you ‘Little Uncle.'”
Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow, his handsome face instantly filled with disdain. He didn’t want such a big nephew who had bullied his sister. He sneered coldly. “Alright, since the Lin family is related to mine, I’ll deal with them. As for the shares in the Sheng family that belong to my sister, help me secure them.”
Even if those shares were minimal.
They still belonged to Sheng Xingyang.
Xu Kun replied, “Don’t worry, Young Master Fu. I’ll keep an eye on everything for you.”
“Mm, I’m hanging up. I need to accompany my sister… no… my wife.” Fu Siyan had gotten used to saying it, his tone filled with deep affection, making Xu Kun on the other end of the phone feel almost nauseated.
Indeed… Miss Sheng was their Young Master Fu’s treasure, wasn’t she?
After longing for her all these years, he had finally married her.
In the bedroom, Sheng Xingyang held Sheng Wanyu and soothed her for a while. Wanyu’s eyelids grew heavy, and clutching a comforting plush teddy bear, she snuggled comfortably in her mother’s arms and fell asleep peacefully.
Seeing that she was asleep,
Sheng Xingyang gently placed her in the cradle and covered her with a small blanket.
She continued to pat her shoulder gently until she was sound asleep, then prepared to leave the bedroom.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
Sheng Xingyang took out her phone and immediately pursed her lips coldly. It was a provocative picture and text message from her stepsister, Sheng Ruoxuan: 【Sister, Lin Yannan and I are having a grand engagement this weekend. You should come.】
Attached to the message was a stunning engagement photo.
In the photo, the vain Sheng Ruoxuan wore a Givenchy haute couture spring-summer wedding dress, deliberately holding a Hermès bag worth one million yuan, smiling like a flower as she stood beside Lin Ya’nan.
The background of the photo was the luxurious villa of the Lin family.
Sheng Xingyang felt nothing when she looked at it, except for her hatred toward Sheng Ruoxuan.
She wouldn’t let them get her mother’s shares—those were reserved for her younger brother.
Even if her brother remained in a vegetative state, it didn’t matter.
Suppressing her anger, Sheng Xingyang replied: “I won’t attend your engagement party, so as not to make you unhappy.”
Sheng Ruoxuan wouldn’t be unhappy at all. If Sheng Xingyang came, she’d be overjoyed, because she wanted to show her that she had married into a wealthy family, while Sheng Xingyang could only marry the kind of thug her mother had found for her.
“Sister, how could I be unhappy? Just come. Dad has already promised to give you a house—be careful, or he might take it back,” Sheng Ruoxuan threatened darkly.
Sheng Xingyang sneered: “Not coming.”
Seeing her firm refusal, Sheng Ruoxuan grew furious and continued texting: “Fine, just wait. I’ll have Dad notify you to come.”
“Oh, by the way, I heard from Mom that you’ve already registered your marriage with the man she introduced? That fast? Is he any good? Remember to bring your husband along. All our relatives will be attending.”
Sheng Xingyang thought of Fu Siyan’s face—his looks were indeed good—but she didn’t want to compare with Sheng Ruoxuan: “Yeah, he’s fine. That’s all.”
After sending this message, Sheng Xingyang ignored her.
Sheng Ruoxuan stared at her phone, puzzled by this response. She actually thought he was fine??
Was she mistaken?
Her mother had shown her a photo of that thug—he was a short, ugly dwarf.
Only 165 cm tall, with a face full of pockmarks.
And she actually agreed?
It seemed she really had a high tolerance. Well, if she had such a peculiar taste for that kind of short dwarf, Sheng Ruoxuan should be happy. After all, since childhood, she had been meticulously groomed by her mother—proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, excelling in everything compared to Sheng Xingyang. Apart from her pretty face, Sheng Xingyang was inferior to her in every way.
Now her marriage was also more luxurious and impressive than Sheng Xingyang’s. Why dwell on this?
From now on, she could flaunt her superiority in front of Sheng Xingyang every day, making her feel humiliated constantly!
Just thinking about it made her ecstatic.
