Chapter 330: Pair of Rings
After dinner, Qi Bufan called the photography team and told them that they could come and take photos.
Around ten o’clock, the security guard called the couple to inform them that a Miss Wu was looking for them.
Upon hearing that the person’s surname was Wu, Qiao Jiusheng guessed that it might be Jiaren Wu.
She had heard from Wei Shuyi over the phone a few days ago that he had been with Jiaren Wu. On the day she had received this news, Qiao Jiusheng had asked Fang Yusheng to order a pair of telepathic rings from X Smart Company. Coincidentally, the rings had arrived the previous day.
Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng to invite Jiaren Wu in while she went upstairs to get the rings.
When Fang Yusheng went to pick Jiaren Wu up, he was still driving the same fluffy electric car that looked like it might topple with a strong gust of wind. It was a new experience, but she was familiar with it again. This time, Jiaren Wu calmly sat down in the backseat.
After getting inside the car, she handed the gift box in her hand to Fang Yusheng and said, “Mr. Wei bought a photography set for your child. He asked you to take a few more photos and make a few stands for him. He wants to put them at home.”
Fang Yusheng did not stand on ceremony with her. He took the gift box and nodded. “Okay.” Then, he said, “Sit tight!” He started the electric car and returned to the house.
When Jiaren Wu arrived at the house, Qiao Jiusheng had already taken the rings and come downstairs.
Qiao Jiusheng personally welcomed Jiaren Wu into the room. Jiaren Wu ran to the baby’s bed and hugged Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai respectively. The two little fellows were not asleep at the moment. One was eating his hands, while the other was trying hard to learn how to turn over. Jiaren Wu saw that Quiet Fang was full of energy but still did not turn over, so she pushed him.
Quiet Fang finally successfully flipped over.
Then, he raised his head, tilted it, and pursed his lips to smile at Jiaren Wu. When he smiled, only the corner of his lips curled up. His smile quickly faded, making him look especially adorable.
When Jiaren Wu saw this, her heart felt warm.
“How cute!”
She then ran over to look at Iron Egg Fang. Seeing that he was eating his fist, she took his fist out of his mouth.
Since he couldn’t eat his right hand, Iron Egg Fang went on to eat his left hand.
Jiaren Wu felt a little helpless. She looked up at Qiao Jiusheng, who was sorting out the clothes the babies would wear on the photoshoot, and said to her, “Your boys are adorable. They make me want them too.”
“Then how about you have a baby?”
Qiao Jiusheng slyly smiled and sat there shouting slogans. “Get married and have a baby!”
Jiaren Wu rolled her eyes at her.
It was unknown what she was thinking about, but a hint of yearning appeared in her eyes. However, she quickly suppressed that yearning.
When the two little fellows got tired from playing and went to bed after having their milk, Jiaren Wu saw that it was almost eleven o’clock. She got up and said to Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng, “I have to go back.”
Qiao Jiusheng quickly said, “It’s not easy to come here. Stay for a meal before you go back. Anyway, you’re also resting today.” There was no reason to go back without eating.
Jiaren Wu shook her head.
Seeing that Qiao Jiusheng was about to get angry, Jiaren Wu explained the situation. “It’s like this. A colleague of mine was injured in a mission yesterday and is still in the ICU ward. I have to go to the hospital. I won’t be eating. I’ll come with Teacher Wei to visit you and the child another day.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng felt relieved. She quickly asked, “In the ICU ward? That’s pretty serious.”
“Of course.”
Jiaren Wu sighed and said, “The bullet was very close to his heart. He almost…” She did not continue. Seeing Jiaren Wu suddenly go silent, Qiao Jiusheng understood. She personally sent her out of the Fang family home. When they reached the main entrance, the two of them alighted from the car.
Qiao Jiusheng pulled Jiaren Wu back and handed her a small box. “I’ll have to trouble you to pass it to Big Brother Wei.” She didn’t say what was inside it. Jiaren Wu respected the privacy of others. Even if the one receiving the gift was her boyfriend, she wouldn’t open the ring box without Wei Shuyi’s permission.
“Okay.”
After readily agreeing to the request, Jiaren Wu took the box and drove Wei Shuyi’s Volvo to the hospital.
Qiao Jiusheng drove the electric car back to the house, looking troubled.
Fang Yusheng could tell that she was worried, so he asked, “What are you thinking about?”
The two of them talked about everything. Qiao Jiusheng said frankly, “I’m worried about Brother Wei and Sister Beauty.”
Fang Yusheng had no choice but to counsel her. “Don’t worry! As long as we want to, we can find out their whereabouts anytime and anywhere. This time, they will be fine.” Even if Jiaren Wu wanted to jump off the building, he could grab her feet the moment she wanted to jump off.
In his previous life, Wei Shuyi had taken care of Qiao Jiusheng for twelve years. In this life, if he could secretly protect Jiaren Wu and fulfill their marriage, it would be considered Qiao Jiusheng returning him a favor.
When Qiao Jiusheng heard Fang Yusheng’s words, she felt relieved. “You’re right.”
She immediately picked up her phone and called Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi had just gone to Zhang Yang’s ward to check on the situation when he received a call from Qiao Jiusheng. “Xiao Sheng?” Thinking that she had received his gift and especially called to thank him, Wei Shuyi said, “As a cheap uncle, it’s only right to buy two sets of clothes for the child. Don’t thank me.”
Qiao Jiusheng could not bring herself to thank him.
She chuckled. After a moment, she said, “You’re so thoughtful.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s mood became better. She chatted with Wei Shuyi for a while before saying, “Brother Wei, I gave you and Sister Beauty a gift.”
“Oh?” Wei Shuyi expressed his curiosity, “What is it?”
Qiao Jiusheng did not hide it. “It’s a pair of rings.”
“Xiao Sheng, I should be the one buying them.”
“Brother Wei, listen to me first. The rings I gave you aren’t diamond rings. They’re just ordinary rings to wear for fun…” After that, Qiao Jiusheng told Wei Shuyi about the telepathy feature of the rings.
She thought that Wei Shuyi would reject this gift, but he actually accepted it.
“Xiao Sheng, I really have to thank you this time. I really need this gift that you gave me.” Last night, after Jiaren Wu had gone on a mission, Wei Shuyi had been very worried about her. His heart had been constantly thinking about her. Where had she gone? Was it dangerous? When would she return? He knew nothing about it. That feeling made him feel helpless.
With this ring, he would be able to know Jiaren Wu’s every move.
Wei Shuyi didn’t want to spy on Jiaren Wu; he just wanted to reassure himself.
Qiao Jiusheng also understood Wei Shuyi’s feelings.
She sighed and said, “Sister Jiaren’s job is quite dangerous. With this ring, you can be at ease, and I can be at ease too.” In the end, she did not tell him the real reason she gave them the ring. She was afraid that Wei Shuyi would overthink and worry.
“It’s good that you’re willing to accept it. Let’s not talk about it now. The photography team is here. We’ll talk next time.”
“Okay.”
When Jiaren Wu returned to the hospital, she immediately went to see Wei Shuyi.
She passed the car keys and the ring box to him. “Xiao Sheng gave it to you.” She did not know what was inside and passed it to Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi took the box. Seeing that Jiaren Wu was about to leave, he told her to wait.
Jiaren Wu sat on the chair in front of the desk and asked him, “What?”
Wei Shuyi smiled and said, “I have something for you.”
“Yeah?”
Wei Shuyi opened the ring box in front of Jiaren Wu.
The pair of rings inside was roughly the same as Qiao Jiusheng’s pair, but the color was different. These rings were not black, but rose-gold. Upon seeing the rings, Jiaren Wu narrowed her eyes a little. “What? You’re giving me a ring to propose to me?”
Wei Shuyi said, “No, this is just an ordinary couple’s ring set. I think it looks pretty and I want to wear it with you.” He stared at Jiaren Wu’s pretty face, which had a complicated expression, and asked her, “Are you unwilling?”
Jiaren Wu looked at him deeply. “Give it to me.”
She held out a hand to him.
Wei Shuyi passed the ring to her and reminded her, “You must wear it with you at all times.”
Jiaren Wu found his words strange, so she asked, “What if I don’t?”
Wei Shuyi became serious.
His expression made Jiaren Wu suspect that she wasn’t wearing a ring but supporting Wei Shuyi’s life.
Wei Shuyi said, “If you don’t, I’ll ignore you forever.”
When she heard this, Jiaren Wu scolded him for being inhumane and heartless, but she still wore the ring on her middle finger.
Wei Shuyi also wore the ring on his left middle finger.
Seeing him put it on, Jiaren Wu left.
***
Qiao Jiusheng invited the entire photography team to have lunch in the small building. They only started filming when the two children woke up.
Qiao Jiusheng could play with the children she had given birth to as she wished for free. For today’s 100-day photoshoot, Qiao Jiusheng had specially bought two sets of identical outfits for the children and a cute rabbit costume for each of the brothers.
When the two little guys woke up, they were stripped by Fang Yusheng.
The chubby children lay on the furry blanket. Their skin was as fair as a boiled egg, white and smooth. When the photographer saw this, he quickly praised them. “Your babies’ skin is really good. Look at these faces. They are so fair and tender.”
Fang Yusheng was a little proud of himself. He pretended to be humble and replied, “It’s all inherited. It’s all inherited.”
The photographer was speechless.
Iron Egg Fang stood naked in front of the camera, somewhat at a loss.
Fang Yusheng helped Iron Egg Fang put on a rabbit costume and a pair of tall rabbit ears. Then, he got a girl from the photography team to carry the kid to the table where the props were being taken. The girl squatted under the table and supported Iron Egg’s Fang’s back with one hand.
The lights were turned on. Someone was teasing Iron Egg Fang with a toy.
It was hard to tell whether the kid was embarrassed or scared, but his hands were clenched into fists. It looked like he was about to cry…
He kept shaking, but he tried hard not to cry. One look, and you could tell he was someone who could endure and do great things.
Through the camera lens, the photographer could see that the little guy was obviously scared out of his wits, yet he pretended to be calm and allowed himself to tremble non-stop. The photographer couldn’t help but laugh. “Your child is simply too adorable.”
By the time Iron Egg Fang reached the fourth set of clothing, he was finally able to relax. At this point, he smiled.
The photographer first took Iron Egg Fang’s personal photo, then Quiet Fang’s.
Quiet Fang’s first set of clothes was a pin-striped sweater with a tall hat. Under the hat, his chubby face looked especially cute.
Compared to his brother, Quiet Fang was like a big husky. Not only was he unafraid, but in the photoshoot, he wanted to turn over even when he was sitting. This made the lady squatting behind him especially careful as she was afraid he would fall.
They took a few photos of Quiet Fang wearing clothes and not wearing clothes.
A young girl took out a small chair with white cushions and placed Fang Zikai on it. Fang Yusheng held a bell and played with Fang Zikai, and the kid finally smiled.
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows at Qiao Jiusheng, who was standing behind him. He said, “Look, my son still loves me.”
Seeing that Fang Zikai was smiling, the photographer quickly took pictures.
Fang Zikai was probably too happy as he smiled. Suddenly, he shot his urine toward Fang Yusheng…
