Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother

Chapter 42: The Person in the Basement (2)

Fang Yusheng did not say anything to Qiao Jiusheng. His eyes were closed, and Qiao Jiusheng did not know whether he was asleep or awake. She got bored alone, so she found a book to read. However, halfway through it, she groggily fell asleep.

When the plane was about to reach Binjiang City, the sound of the radio woke Qiao Jiusheng up.

She took out a small mirror to tidy up her appearance. At this moment, Fang Yusheng, who was beside her, suddenly asked, “Ah Sheng, am I ugly?”

Qiao Jiusheng almost lost the mirror in her hand.

She turned her head to look at Fang Yusheng and blinked. “Why are you asking this question?”

Fang Yusheng did not answer her. Instead, he asked, “If I confess to a beautiful and kind lady, is it possible that she will accept me?” Without waiting for Qiao Jiusheng to answer, he added, “It should not be because I’m Fang Yusheng of the Fang family, but because she truly accepts me… the blind me.”

Qiao Jiusheng had thought that Fang Yusheng’s words were funny, but when she heard the last sentence, her laughter disappeared at once.

It turned out that Fang Yusheng had times when he was not confident.

She looked through her glasses, and the mirror happened to reflect Fang Yusheng as well. Qiao Jiusheng looked at the man in the mirror. His eyebrows and eyes were indescribably stunning. She looked at him for a moment before saying, “Yes!” You’re so good-looking. Which girl would bear to reject you?

Fang Yusheng chuckled.

The plane shook for a while, then the radio reminded the terminal that they were about to arrive.

Fang Yusheng stood up and calmly said, “Let’s go home.” In just a moment, he had again become Young Master Fang.

The person who came to fetch the two of them home was not Qi Bufan, but the chauffeur that Fang Yusheng had hired with his aching heart for 4,000 yuan.

Even when she got home, Qiao Jiusheng did not see Qi Bufan either. Only Aunt Jin was at home.

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng had been away for only two days. After they reached home, Aunt Jin told them about what had happened in the past two days as if she knew everything. They were all trivial matters, such as Miss Fang Yuqing’s puppy love being discovered by Xu Pingfei, the Xie family’s cousin being locked up by his father after hitting someone in the car, and Second Madam finally being discharged.

Qiao Jiusheng was not interested in these matters. However, Fang Yusheng listened very seriously.

“Oh, has our Second Madam been discharged?” he asked.

Aunt Jin replied, “Yes, I heard that Second Young Madam likes to eat noodles. For her, Second Young Master hired a chef who specializes in making noodles.” Aunt Jin sighed and continued, “Second Young Master is really good to Second Young Madam.”

“Yes, that’s great.” Fang Yusheng nodded and gave Qiao Jiusheng a devilish smile. He held her wrist and ambiguously leaned over to ask, “I remember that Ah Sheng likes to eat squid the most. Why don’t I find a chef who cooks seafood well and have him cook for you at home?”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jin covered her mouth and laughed until her fat body trembled. “Young Master Yusheng and Madam are so close. This is how it should be!” Graceful love is the best. It would be great if Madam gets pregnant sooner.

It was a huge blessing that the stingy young master was willing to pay to hire a chef for Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng was just short of kowtowing to thank him.

The information Aunt Jin had received was not false. Fang Mu had indeed hired a chef who knew how to make handmade noodles and asked him to especially cook for Qiao Jiuyin.

That night, Qiao Jiuyin placed another bowl of fragrant noodles in front of her.

She stared at the bowl of noodles. When she smelled the fragrance of the fish, her stomach churned. However, Fang Mu sat beside her, so she could only pretend to be enjoying herself. Picking up her chopsticks, she ate the bowl of noodles. When Fang Mu saw that his wife had eaten more than half of the dish, he became even more satisfied with the chef’s cooking.

“I’m full.” Qiao Jiuyin really could not eat anymore.

Fang Mu did not force her to continue eating.

“Do you want to drink something? I’ll go get it for you.”

“I want some cherry juice.”

“Okay.”

There had always been cherries at home. Fang Mu picked one and personally squeezed a cup of cherry juice for Qiao Jiuyin. While he made the cherry juice, Qiao Jiuyin used the excuse of needing to go to the toilet to vomit. She brushed her teeth again so that the smell of fish could disappear from her mouth.

Qiao Jiuyin wiped the foam and water from the corners of her mouth. She looked up at the weak-looking woman in the glasses and felt exhausted. For Fang Mu, she had to disguise herself as another person at all times. She had to eat Qiao Jiusheng’s food, wear her favorite clothes, and imitate her mischievous tone while speaking.

She had given up being herself for Fang Mu.

As she touched her stomach, she softly murmured, “Child, child, you must come out safe and sound.” Mommy can only rest after you take birth.

“Xiao Sheng, aren’t you done yet? I’ve made the cherry juice for you. Come and drink it.”

“I’ll be right there.”

Qiao Jiuyin quickly washed away the filth and tidied up her appearance before walking out of the toilet.
