Chapter 229 A family will live together forever
After applying the ointment, An Xiaoyue exuded a herbal fragrance.
She changed her clothes and came out, ready to eat something to fill her stomach.
"Madam is up. Just in time, Madam Leng's bird's nest soup is ready."
Cui Ma was folding bedding with the maid when she saw her get up. She immediately stopped what she was doing and went to the small kitchen to bring her some food.
"Thank you, Aunt Cui." An Xiaoyue smiled as she saw Aunt Cui off, then glared at Fu Shengyang with her round eyes, silently accusing him, "Aunt Cui's smile was quite meaningful."
Judging from Cui Ma's expression, she must know what the two of them did last night, which is why she got up so late!
It's all Fu Shengyang's fault for not knowing how to control himself; otherwise, even Aunt Cui wouldn't have noticed.
"Mmm~" Fu Shengyang cleared his throat, trying to reassure her in a way that seemed to be trying to cover up his mistake, "Giving birth to a baby is so tiring, it's okay to sleep a little longer."
An Xiaoyue:......
She's already out of confinement, so it's better not to say anything at all!
Cui Ma paused, then quickly swung her arm and left.
Those cheerful steps undoubtedly confirmed An Xiaoyue's words.
An Xiaoyue was furious.
She reached out and touched Fu Shengyang's waist, twisted her fingers, but couldn't pinch a single bit of flesh.
His waist had absolutely no excess fat; the skin was very firm.
An Xiaoyue wanted to kill someone, her teeth grinding together.
Fu Shengyang smiled, beaming with pride; his physique was truly impressive.
"Sir, should we put the washed and dried four-piece bedding set in the dressing room?" After Cui Ma, who was in charge of the master's daily life, left, the maid folded the bedding set but didn't know where to put it, so she had to ask Fu Shengyang, who was in charge of the household.
"Put the dresser in the room." Fu Shengyang's smile faded, and his voice turned cold, lacking the gentleness he displayed when he was with An Xiaoyue. He was icy cold.
The cold aura forced the maid to lower her head as she walked past An Xiaoyue, carrying a light brown floral four-piece bedding set on a tray.
An Xiaoyue stared wide-eyed.
Isn't that the four-piece suit that Fu Shengyang changed out of last night?
Oh no, oh no, I've really lost face.
Could it be that Cui's mother thought she hadn't recovered well and was still leaking urine in bed late at night?
After the maid walked away, An Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose and frowned unhappily.
"How embarrassing!"
Fu Shengyang stroked her soft hair and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "No, your husband likes it."
This person... An Xiaoyue's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
Ever since I coaxed her to call me "husband" in bed last night, she's been particularly fond of referring to herself as her husband.
Moreover, his words always made her so ashamed that she wanted to hide in the ground, unable to face him.
"When my wife is angry, her puffed-up cheeks look like an angry pufferfish, which is very cute."
If she were a pufferfish, she would definitely spray him with venom.
Unfortunately, she isn't!
"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore." An Xiaoyue turned her head away, raised her chin high, and went to sit down at the dining table to wait for Cui Ma to bring her food.
After bickering for a while, Fu Shengyang was in a great mood, and the smile on his lips lingered for a long time. "Wife, eat slowly. I'm going to my son's room so Mom can rest for a bit."
"Mother?"
Fu Shengyang's expression was calm. "Yes, my mother came over at noon. She said she had something to tell you."
Oh dear! An Xiaoyue clenched her fingers. Her mother must have guessed why she got up so late. How was she going to face her mother?
Just as she was feeling embarrassed, Aunt Cui came in carrying food.
Yes, what did Aunt Cui just say? It was bird's nest stewed by Madam Leng.
Madam Leng, isn't that Mom?
The whole country knew about Mom and Dad's marriage, and Mom's title became Mrs. Leng.
It's all Fu Shengyang's fault; he made her lose her mind and couldn't grasp the key points in his words.
Hmph! I'll deal with him tonight.
"Madam, the bird's nest has arrived." Cui Ma said, placing the food in front of her one by one. "Madam has expended a lot of energy, so I made you some pan-fried salmon to replenish your protein."
In an instant, An Xiaoyue's entire face turned bright red, and her skin temperature rose sharply.
Good Aunt Cui, if you already know, you don't need to say it.
"Ahem~" An Xiaoyue coughed twice, "Thank you, Aunt Cui."
Cui Ma didn't appreciate it. Seeing her cheeks flushed, she placed the back of her hand on her forehead and asked, "Madam has a fever?"
"No...no, Aunt Cui, I'm fine," An Xiaoyue explained.
Aunt Cui exclaimed, "Oh dear! Madam's forehead is a little hot; she must have a fever. No, we need to take her temperature. It's uncomfortable to be sick with a cold; she needs to take medicine as soon as possible."
Before An Xiaoyue could even stop her, Cui Ma had already gone to get the mercury thermometer.
An Xiaoyue sat frozen in her dining chair, overwhelmed by the love from Cui Ma.
When An Jiaren arrived, Cui Ma was shaking the thermometer in her hand. "Is Xiaoyue feeling unwell?"
"No, it's just that Aunt Cui felt it was a little hot, so I took a temperature." This time, An Xiaoyue took the initiative and refused to give her mother a chance to say something embarrassing.
But today, what she didn't want to happen, happened.
An Xiaoyue had a thermometer tucked under her arm. An Jiaren lowered her head and pressed her forehead against An Xiaoyue's, just like she always did when she took An Xiaoyue's temperature.
"It seems normal, no problem." An Jiaren concluded, "It's okay, but I'll take a measurement to be on the safe side. I need to keep an eye on any changes in my body."
"Okay, Mom," An Xiaoyue replied obediently.
"I forgot the knife for cutting salmon, I'll go get it." Aunt Cui left to get the knife.
Inside the main room, only An Jiaren and her daughter were present.
An Jiaren cautioned, "You and Sheng Yang are young, don't seek thrills and neglect your own health."
"Mom," An Xiaoyue said coquettishly, "I really don't feel unwell."
An Jiaren didn't care; as a mother, she always had to consider her daughter's needs.
"Also, you must use contraception. You can't get pregnant again before you graduate from university. I will also have your father and Sheng Yang talk about this. Even if you are lucky enough to give birth, your studies cannot be delayed any further."
An Xiaoyue didn't want her mother to talk about what happened in bed, but her mother's words were for her future planning, so she disregarded her shyness and told her mother the truth.
“Mom, without Dad and Sheng Yang telling us, he has prepared condoms. We have no plans to have a second child until we graduate from university and have a stable job.”
An Jiaren was satisfied. "That's good."
"Mom, I heard from Sheng Yang that you had something to tell me. Is this it?"
When asked about the purpose of her visit, An Jiaren smiled happily, "I came to see that you hadn't gotten up until noon, that's why I'm telling you all this."
"Mom came here to tell you that Mom and Dad have been transferred to work in Beijing. From now on, our whole family will be in Beijing, and Dad and I can come to visit you more often."
"That's great!" An Xiaoyue couldn't hide her excitement and hugged An Jiaren tightly.
The higher-ups have always known about Leng Shize's situation.
He was previously appointed as the plenipotentiary envoy to Cameroon, where he lived abroad for many years because he was unmarried and had no family to take care of.
Now that he has a wife and daughter, and his father is getting old, the organization will naturally give more consideration to his family.
After careful consideration, Leng Shize was ultimately appointed as Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, in charge of all the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But as anyone who watches the news regularly knows, the position of deputy minister is only temporary.
The Foreign Minister's retirement application is already in the approval stage. With the Minister's retirement, the Vice Minister's promotion to the position is just around the corner.
An Xiaoyue was unaware of all this; what made her happy was that her family could live together forever.
