Chapter 699 Regret Falling in Love with Qi Yue?

Having witnessed Qi Yue's drunken state before, Shen Anning was worried that Qi Yue might get into trouble again, so she protected Qi Yue the entire time.

Fu Nian'an was furious with her.

Shen Anning said helplessly, "Brother, he is still the biological father of your two nephews. Just let him go for the sake of the children."

“That’s him! He just wants to stay overnight under the pretense of being drunk!” Fu Nian’an said coldly. “You’re pregnant, so worry about yourself. He has a driver even if he’s drunk. I’ll have the driver take him home.”

Shen Anning was speechless.

The driver was indeed still waiting for Qi Yue outside.

"I'm not going back." Qi Yue held Shen Anning's arms with both hands and rested his head on her shoulder. "Wife, I'm so drunk, how can you bear to send me back?"

Shen Anning: "..."

“You can stay if you want.” Fu Nian’an looked at Qi Yue and raised an eyebrow. “I have many guest rooms. I’ll have Aunt Yun prepare one for you to stay in right away.”

Qi Yue remained silent, and it was unclear whether he had listened or not.

Fu Nian'an was too lazy to waste time with him, so she called over Aunt Yun and instructed her to prepare a guest room immediately.

Sister Yun immediately went to tidy up the room.

Qi Yue leaned against Shen Anning, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

Shen Anning looked down at his face, which was red from the alcohol, with a helpless expression.

Fu Nian'an stared at her, "What exactly is the situation between you two now?"

Shen Anning pursed her lips and answered truthfully, "Brother, I plan to try again with him for the sake of the child."

Fu Nian'an frowned and bluntly exposed her, "If it's just for the child, then this sacrifice is a bit too much for you."

Shen Anning was taken aback, then raised her hand to touch her cheek, feeling a little shy. She glanced at Qi Yue, who seemed to be asleep, and said in a very soft voice, "It was because my distrust caused him pain and self-doubt. This time, I took the initiative to take this step, and we are even."

Fu Nian'an was furious. She pointed at Shen Anning's nose, her handsome and sculpted features darkening. She was truly speechless with anger!

Shen Anning bit her lip. "Brother, I know you mean well, but I've grown a lot in the past five years. I believe I can handle this better than before, and he's a different person now."

"I don't want to hear a single word of your love-struck nonsense." Fu Nian'an stood up, walked over, and grabbed Qi Yue. "You're pregnant, so go back to your room and sleep. I'll send your lucky husband to the guest room!"

Shen Anning, "..."

They complain about it to death, but they're still worried about it!

Supported by Fu Nian'an, Qi Yue mumbled groggily, "Wife, my head hurts..."

Fu Nian'an's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Open your eyes and look carefully, I'm your father!"

"I don't want my dad, I want my wife..."

Fu Nian'an: "..."

Shen Anning couldn't help but laugh, clutching her stomach.

One person is so drunk they can't even tell who's who, and the other is carrying someone with a dark expression—this scene is hilarious no matter how you look at it!

Shen Anning simply took out her phone and turned on the video recording function. "Brother, look over here... don't be shy! I'm going to show Qi Yue this tomorrow when he sobers up..."

"Shen Anning, if you keep recording this, I don't believe I'll throw your husband out right now!"

"Go ahead and throw it away. I'm recording a video right now, and I'll show it to my parents when they get up tomorrow!"

Fu Nian'an: "..."

Oh well, one's a drunkard and the other's love-struck, he's destined to be a worrywart!

...

In a guest room on the third floor, Fu Nian'an placed the drunken Qi Yue on the large bed. The action was quite forceful, strongly suggesting that he was settling a personal score.

Qi Yue was already feeling unwell, and Fu Nian'an's rough handling only made his head ache more.

Shen Anning looked at his forehead, which was covered in fine sweat and had bulging veins, and it was clear that he was in great pain.

Feeling sorry for her, she said to Aunt Yun, who was standing nearby, "Aunt Yun, could you please go downstairs and make some hangover soup?"

"Okay, I'll go downstairs and cook it right away. I'll bring it up as soon as it's done." After saying that, Aunt Yun turned and walked out of the room.

Shen Anning wanted to go to the bathroom to get some warm water to help Qi Yue wipe himself down, but Fu Nian'an stopped her.

"What kind of logic is it for a pregnant woman like you to take care of a drunkard!" Fu Nian'an said coldly. "He just doesn't know how to care about you. If he did, he would crawl home even if he was drunk, instead of staying here for you to serve and worry about!"

Shen Anning, "..."

"Stand here and don't move!" Fu Nian'an glared at Shen Anning, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

When she came out again, Fu Nian'an was holding a wet towel and sat down on the bed.

A steaming towel was roughly wiped across Qi Yue's face, causing Qi Yue to furrow his brows and look pained.

"Brother, be gentle..."

"Can I really peel off a layer of skin for him?" Fu Nian'an turned to look at her, giving her a death stare.

Shen Anning: "..."

Forget it, I feel like whatever she says now is wrong.

It's best to just keep quiet.

Fu Nian'an roughly wiped Qi Yue's face, threw the hot towel aside, and then stood up. "Come out with me."

Shen Anning glanced at Qi Yue on the bed with unease.

Qi Yue seemed to feel better after wiping his face. He closed his eyes, and although his breathing was still a little heavy, he finally fell asleep.

Shen Anning turned off the main light in the room, leaving the nightlight on, before turning around and leaving the guest room.

The door was ajar, and she turned and walked toward the small balcony.

...

Springtime in the northern part of the city still brings cold nights.

The small balcony was open-air, and Fu Nian'an held onto the glass railing with one hand, his back view tall and straight.

Shen Anning pulled her coat tighter and stood beside him.

Looking across the Lijiang River, the city's neon lights shimmer and sparkle, like a meticulously painted scroll.

The brother and sister had no heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery at that moment.

Shen Anning turned her head, slightly raised her chin, and used the darkness to observe her brother's expression.

Fu Nian'an noticed her gaze and glanced at her sideways.

Shen Anning bit her lip, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, tugging gently, "Brother, don't be angry!"

Fu Nian'an tugged at his sleeve impatiently and snorted, "You're so obsessed with Qi Yue, do you even care if I, as your older brother, am angry or not?"

“You’re my older brother, of course I care!” Shen Anning pouted and said matter-of-factly, “But Qi Yue is different now than before. Can you please stop judging him based on the past?”

Fu Nian'an laughed in exasperation, raising her hand to poke Shen Anning's forehead. "Shen Anning, of the three children in our family, you're the most troublesome!"

“I don’t deny that.” Shen Anning touched his forehead where he had been poked. “There are two girls in our family. Xiao Nianjin didn’t date early. She’s very well-behaved and sensible. Mom and Dad and you don’t have to worry about her much. Unlike me, I don’t listen to advice. I can’t even figure out how to date. I’ve made your whole family worry about me for so many years. Brother, to be honest, I’ve always felt guilty. If time could turn back, 19-year-old Shen Anning would not have accepted Qi Yue’s confession.”

Fu Nian'an was taken aback, not expecting her to say that.

"So," Fu Nian'an stared at her, lowering her voice, "you regret falling in love with Qi Yue?"
