No matter how many children they gave birth to, that was in the future. Anyway, they could not give birth to any now.

If he wanted to have a child, he had to have sex first. If Jiang Wei wanted to have sex with Fang Yuqing, he had to do it for the rest of his life. However, Fang Yuqing requested to get married before he could do so. Then, he could only wait for the eighth of February.

The bed in the hospital was tight. Qiao Jiusheng was hospitalized for three days before she was discharged. When she returned home and passed by the little princess’s nursery, she stopped in her tracks. She could not help but push open the door. Qiao Jiusheng walked in and felt terrible when she saw the princess’s room decorated in pink.

They had already prepared everything for the little princess, but she stayed in the hospital alone.

Lisa sent hot soup to her room and saw that the door to her granddaughter’s room was open. She saw Qiao Jiusheng standing in the room. She walked in with the soup. Her footsteps were not loud, but Qiao Jiusheng heard them.

Qiao Jiusheng did not turn around. Lisa saw Qiao Jiusheng wiping her tears.

She smiled silently and walked to Qiao Jiusheng, passing her the bowl of pigeon soup. “Drink some soup.”

“Thank you, Lisa.” These few days, Lisa had been taking care of her and was tired. Qiao Jiusheng was not an ungrateful person. It was said that it was only right for a mother-in-law to take care of her daughter-in-law, but Qiao Jiusheng did not think so.

The elders’ willingness to take good care of her should be respected and thanked.

Her way of thanking hee was to dry this bowl of slightly warm pigeon soup.

Other than the bed, there was also a small crib in the room. Fang Zicheng and the rest had slept in this crib when they were young. The bedsheets and blankets inside had been changed. Lisa sat down by the bed and picked up the small pillow in the crib. As she touched it, she chatted with Qiao Jiusheng.

“Many years ago, because of my relationship with Baoguang, I had to pretend to die to deceive those people in order to divert their attention. Hence, I had no choice but to leave An.” Lisa was still used to calling Fang Yusheng by his English name. Now that she had come to China to live, she did as she was told and tried her best to adapt to calling him by his Chinese name.

“An will definitely not be able to withstand my sudden death. As long as I think of this child bearing all this alone, I almost went back on my words a few times and told him the truth.” Lisa’s eyes were very dark. Seeing Qiao Jiusheng look over, her lips curled into a bitter smile. “As a mother, I can’t bear to see the child suffer.”

“So I can understand how you’re feeling.”

Qiao Jiusheng nodded.

She walked to Lisa’s side and sat down. She looked at the crib in front of her and said softly, “I was just reminded of the scene and felt terrible for a moment.” She touched the edge of the crib with her fingers and said, “When I gave birth to Iron Egg and Kai Kai, I was young and couldn’t change my mentality. In the first few months of their birth, Yusheng took care of them.”

“I’m ashamed to say that I only learned to bathe the children after five to six months.” Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head and leaned on Lisa’s shoulder.

Lisa tilted her head slightly and stared at Qiao Jiusheng’s head. When she heard Qiao Jiusheng say these things, she did not show any unhappiness. She said, “So in a marriage, it’s also a good thing for a man to be more mature.”

“Yeah.”

Fang Yusheng was six years older than Qiao Jiusheng. He was more mature and steady than her. Even though they had both lived before, they had never had the experience of being parents in their previous lives.

In that case, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but admire Fang Yusheng.

“Mom.”

Lisa was stunned.

Lisa and Qiao Jiusheng got along like friends. Qiao Jiusheng usually called her Lisa, but Lisa was not used to being called mother so formally. She was in a daze for a while before she heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “Thank you for nurturing such a good son.”

She put her arm around Lisa’s shoulder and said, “He’s outstanding. I hope my children will be as outstanding as their father in the future.” For that, she had to look at Lisa.

Lisa looked proud.

“You’re outstanding too.”

Qiao Jiusheng only smiled and did not answer.

Another three days passed.

The hospital called and informed Fang Yusheng and the rest that they would go to the hospital to pick up their child tomorrow morning. They specially instructed them to bring the documents signed when they were hospitalized mainly to verify the baby and their identities when they picked up the baby.

When Fang Taoran was hospitalized, Fang Yusheng had signed the hospitalization notice. It was stamped by Fang Taoran’s small feet. Today was already the thirtieth day of the lunar calendar. Tonight was a day of reunion. The fact that the little princess could be discharged today made the Fang family happy.

For this year’s reunion dinner, Xu Pingfei’s family of three and Fang Pingjun’s family had to come to Fang Yusheng’s house for the reunion dinner. After confirming that Dai Chukong would not be coming back for the New Year this year, Qi Bufan had to come over for the reunion dinner with them.

They would be here in two hours.

Aunt Jin had already applied for leave to return to the countryside for the New Year. The responsibility of cooking the reunion meal this year fell on Lisa, Xu Pingfei, and Liu Yu. It was not that they thought that women should cook, but the other men did not know how to cook.

Early in the morning, Fang Yusheng put on his clothes and held a briefcase in his hand. It was filled with documents that he needed to go to the hospital later. Fang Yusheng disagreed that Qiao Jiusheng wanted to go to the hospital too.

“It’s cold. You’re in confinement now. It’s better not to go.”

Qiao Jiusheng insisted. “Just wear a hat.”

Fang Yusheng could not bear to reject Qiao Jiusheng anymore, so he agreed. The two of them came to the front yard from the dormitory and saw that Chi Baoguang and Fang Zicheng were also dressed very thickly, looking like they were going out.

“Dad, we’re going to pick Sister up too!” Fang Zikai said.

Fang Yusheng’s heart warmed and he nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s go.”

As Lisa had to prepare food at home, she did not follow. She stayed at home alone, and Fang Yusheng and the rest set off for the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital’s pediatric hospitalization department, they realized that there were especially many parents who came to pick up the baby today.

It was probably the new year, and everyone could not wait.

Fang Yusheng and the rest arrived early, but someone arrived earlier than them. They lined up to pick up the children. Fang Yusheng was fifth.

The doctors and nurses checked their identities one by one. After nearly an hour, it was Fang Yusheng’s turn.

Fang Yusheng took out a document and took out his identity card, Qiao Jiusheng’s identity card, the baby’s birth certificate, and birth certificate. The doctor looked at these things and could not help but laugh.

“Mr. Fang is quite well-prepared.”

These words attracted the low laughter of the parents behind him.

Fang Yusheng hugged Qiao Jiusheng’s shoulder and smiled when he heard this. “I was afraid that you would need it. It’s better to be prepared in advance than not.”

“Yes, that’s true.”
