Chapter 274: Chapter 158 Family_3

"Woman, as long as you get her body, she’ll definitely be devoted to you from then on."

"Really?" Liu Yang wanted just these words.

"Absolutely." Seeing Liu Yang’s smile, Liu Zhaodi seemed encouraged, "Your aunt, your uncle’s wife, they all resisted getting married at first, but once they were married, they were dead set on it."

"Alright then." Liu Yang turned back to look at Liu Zhaodi, a strange light in his eyes, "When we get married, you’ll be the mainstay, and once I’ve bought a house, you can come live with us."

"Really?" Liu Zhaodi’s eyes welled with tears, "You’re willing to live with me?"

"You’re my mother. If I don’t take care of you when you’re old, who will?"

"Okay, okay."

At that moment, down at the hotel, Shu Wan was already in the car. She made a call to Qin Lv, "There’s a person here named Liu Zhaodi. Can you take care of the follow-up for her? Once her treatment is somewhat complete, send her back."

"Okay." Qin Lv answered respectfully.

Initially, Shu Wan had taken in Liu Zhaodi out of pity, since at the end of one’s rope, there’s nothing to cling to.

But now it seemed that people who had been desensitized to life and death when pushed to the brink could let go of everything, but once they had hope, greed and human nature could also be revived.

At least the Liu Zhaodi she saw today had completely become an appendage to her foster son once again.

She had promised to help Liu Zhaodi with the treatment, but as for what happened afterward, Shu Wan didn’t want to have anything to do with her anymore.

Having spent these days in Ryan Town, she seemed to have gotten used to the quiet. Now back in Imperial City, faced with skyscrapers, the bustling traffic, Shu Wan felt somewhat out of place.

"Young Madam, the young master asked me to pick him up from the company. He’s going back too."

"Okay." Shu Wan nodded.

With Shu Wan’s permission, the driver drove to the Guangyu Group building to wait.

Shu Wan was a bit tired, so she closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa, not expecting to fall asleep.

It was only when the car jolted over a speed bump that she woke up.

"I thought you were at home."

Seeing Shu Wan awake, Fu Siyu handed her a cup of warm water.

"No, I went to see Zhao Yan."

"How is he?"

"Not very optimistic; his injuries are quite serious."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted the best surgeon, who will be in Imperial City in a few days."

"Mm." Shu Wan nodded. She took a sip of the warm water and felt her dry throat soothed a great deal.

Fu Siyu was about to say something else when he suddenly furrowed his brow slightly. Without making a sound, he leaned a bit closer to Shu Wan, and indeed, he smelled an even stronger scent of smoke, "Have you been unhappy about something recently?"

"Not really, why do you ask?" Shu Wan was puzzled.

"You seem to have started smoking."

Fu Siyu hadn’t thought Shu Wan would smoke, but the smell of smoke on her was so strong he had to ask.

"No, just secondhand smoke."

Shu Wan told Fu Siyu about Liu Zhaodi as well.

After listening, Fu Siyu commented, "The idea of seeing her son as a faith is unchangeable."

"Mm."

"I’ll have someone take care of her affairs. You don’t have to deal with them."

"I know, I’ve already handed it over to Qin Lv to deal with."

"Good." Shu Wan nodded and remembered something else, "When are you leaving?"

"In a couple of days." Upon mentioning this, Fu Siyu’s eyes held a trace of amusement, "Seems like you don’t like me staying in Imperial City?"

"How could that be?" Shu Wan thought Fu Siyu had misunderstood, "I like it when you’re in Imperial City."

"Oh?" Fu Siyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

As evening approached, the window framed a sky full of sunset glows, mingled with the just-lit colorful lights, all falling into Fu Siyu’s eyes.

Facing his profound gaze, Shu Wan involuntarily felt a tremble in her heart.

She didn’t know why, but it just seemed that with Fu Siyu by her side, it wasn’t like she was adapting to this millennia-spanning era alone.

"Because," Shu Wan thought for a moment, unsure how to describe the feeling, "because family members are always meant to live together."

"..." The streetlights outside flickered, and Fu Siyu’s expression darkened momentarily, "Alright."

Family it is, then. After all, patience was what he least lacked.

"Do you want some fruit?" Fu Siyu picked up an orange, "This one is quite sweet."

"I’ll peel it myself."

As Shu Wan reached out her hand, Fu Siyu evaded, looking at her with what seemed like a hint of amusement in his eyes, "You’ve said I’m your older brother. Isn’t it normal for an older brother to look after his younger sister?"

"..." Something didn’t quite add up, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
