Chapter 1883
Three days later, Fu Shenyan and I took the baby and the baby sitter with us and headed to the Murong family’s private island.
It was a long flight from the capital to M and a private jet before we were finally ready to land on a coastline close to the open sea. The violent rotation of the propellers caused widespread seawater tremors around the tarmac, a thrilling scene just like the island, mysterious and dangerous.
As soon as you step off the plane, you can see the palatial architecture of the palace, the greenery in the areas that cannot be wetted by the return of the sea, and further on, the cobbled paths that run from the foot of the hill to the top, where the island is covered in tropical plants, making it feel like you are walking through a tropical rainforest without swamps and mud puddles.
With such an absolutely secluded and isolated place, it is no wonder that Murong Nanchuan could easily hide away for more than twenty years.
I was so focused on observing my surroundings that I didn’t notice the decorative rocks in front of the road. I broke my foot and tilted my body subconsciously, almost falling down when Fu Shenyan reached out and wrapped his hand around my waist, shielding me as I stood up straight.
“I’m sorry.” Smiling in apology, he tried to look as calm as he could.
Any accident in unfamiliar surroundings tended to increase emotional tension.
“No harm.” Fu Shen Yan smiled and raised the corners of his mouth, calmly leading me on, “There is no need to be too nervous, the Murong family only cares about the child, as for you and I, whether we are dragons or worms, it doesn’t matter to them, so there is no need to be restrained, just think of it as a trip out for fun.”
The words are true, but when I think of the initial encounter with Murong Nanchuan, the face that said he wanted to make Fu Shenyan disappear from this world, there are still palpitations in my heart.
A little worried that Fu Shen Yan is too optimistic, although it does not feel appropriate, still spoke a reminder, “This island is in the realm of the high seas, not subject to the jurisdiction of countries, who knows what will happen, it is better to be careful ……”
Fu Shen Yan suddenly stopped and turned to face me, his black eyes as deep as ink, but tinged with a smile, “Remember, I am your husband, no matter what happens, stand behind me and leave it to me to deal with, understand?”
I frowned and hesitated. If Murong Nanchuan loved his son as much as Lin Ivana and her husband, I would have been relieved to let Fu Shenyan face it, but the opposite was true.
After a moment’s consideration, I let go of Fu Shen Yan and took a step back, raising my chin arrogantly and pretending to be serious and sophisticated, “Don’t worry, since you have joined the Shen family, you are my Shen Shu’s man, I will protect you.”
Although the tone was joking, it was all true to my intentions.
The Murong family is too contemptuous of Fu Shenyan, which means that they still have a few scruples about the Mo and Shen families behind me.
I don’t want to explain, but I force myself to take his arm and walk away, saying roguishly, “I absolutely believe in your rationality, but as the saying goes, concern is chaos, and it’s inevitable that the people inside are your closest relatives, so it’s inevitable that you’ll touch on topics that will make you lose control, so what about, to buy time? Mr. Fu, later on you will implement the principle of silence is golden and watch me perform.”
Fu Shenyan opened his mouth to retort, but it was too late. I deliberately used my strength and dragged him straight through the door.
Chapter 1884
“Eldest Young Master, Young Lady!”
As soon as the front foot landed, the servants dressed in neat and tidy movements saluted respectfully, wearing black and white shades of maid and servant outfits, as if they had instantly travelled to a palace in the last century.
I glanced at Fu Shenyan, who was behaving calmly and uncharacteristically, and walked through the spacious corridor to finally reach the main hall.
The main hall was basically decorated in the same style as the exterior, high-profile and luxurious, and every detail was full of noble style.
On the leather sofa, two proud figures sat side by side, and this was the first time I saw Fu Shenyan’s mother Si Yin face to face.
She was draped in long dark hair, smiling as she sat beside Murong Nanchuan, her skin as white as snow, as if she was forever fixed in the age of an old photograph.
“Shen Yan, you are here, have a seat.” Si Yin raised her hand and greeted us as we sat down.
His voice could not deceive people, even though his face did not look much older than mine, his voice was full of vicissitudes and full of rhythm.
Fu Shenyan probably also felt a bit like a lifetime ago, his tall figure stood in place, as if his feet were filled with lead, not moving, the atmosphere was suddenly a bit awkward.
The two of them had little communication.
The importance of a mother to her child was overwhelming. Worried about Fu Shenyan’s emotions, I quietly shook off his hand holding mine, and when he came back to his senses, I immediately took him to sit down.
The next thing you do is sit opposite each other and wait for the head of the family to say something.
The entire room was quiet for about two to three minutes before Murong Nanchuan slowly tossed the newspaper onto the table, swept a cold glance at Fu Shen Yan, and then fixed his eyes on me.
“Shen Shu, very good, have some backbone, I still remember your words of lecturing me at the hotel.” Murong Nanchuan’s voice was ripple-free, like a drill sergeant torturing a criminal, with a sense of unruffled authority.
Aftermath?
I pursed my lips and smiled lightly, “It’s only like minded people who are attracted to each other, you and Auntie Si Yin gave me such a wonderful husband in Fu Shen Yan, naturally I can’t disgrace him and let you down.”
Murong Nanchuan sneered, chattering a bit mockingly, but did not answer, instead Si Yin was very good-natured and spoke out to remind, “Still calling auntie, time to change your name.”
I froze, and then obediently listened, “Dad, mum.”
Although both sides had their own thoughts, there were still some formalities that had to be gone through to maintain the family harmony on the surface so that we could continue to get along.
“Mm.” Murong Nanchuan nodded in satisfaction, and his dark brown eyes then turned away, looking at Fu Shen Yan in a good way.
This was the meaning of waiting for Fu Shen Yan to bow his head.
The two words “mum and dad” may seem like nothing more than a term of endearment that has been in his heart for decades, but to ask him to call it out now is still a bit of an imposition.
The fact that Fu Shenyin has already suppressed the resistance in his heart and has taken the initiative to come to the door to reconcile with the Murong couple for the antidote, how can I stand by and watch him beg for what he wants?
When I saw his dark eyes stirring up fire, I hurriedly reached out and patted him on the back of his hand, taking the initiative to explain, “Two days ago, Shen Yan was telling the baby a bedtime story and fell asleep on the edge of the bed, there was some wind chill and it collapsed his voice, so he can’t speak at the moment, so let me, as the wife, do it for him.”
“Dad, mum, both of you for the sake of the baby, don’t take it to heart.”
