Chapter 296 Sister
Chapter 296 Sister
Jiang Yu's life unfolded slowly according to her plan, and everything went exceptionally smoothly.
Since confessing her feelings to Kong Yiche, she has become increasingly adept at utilizing the Forest Empire's trade resources. The same goes for the owls of Keslan; they will be at her disposal until the empire disbands.
Emotions that don't consider interests are illusory.
Jiang Yu gently lowered her head and stroked her belly. She truly felt the presence of the little life inside her when the commercial street officially opened.
Lin Yi originally said he would rush back, but unfortunately there were too many border affairs, so he was unable to take his vacation as planned.
The father didn't come home, so the child gave Jiang Yu a surprise instead.
At the time, she was dining with important guests and representatives. Because she was already in the process of conception, cold drinks and raw beverages had been completely avoided, and the glasses were filled with fruit juice mixed with dairy products.
Because I had been busy all day, I was a bit tempted to have something cold for dinner, so I added two ice cubes to my glass. But before I had even taken a few sips, I suddenly heard a faint heartbeat in my stomach.
Amidst the noise, the heartbeat grew heavier and clearer.
Jiang Yu's stiffness was clearly too obvious. As the hostess of the banquet, the guests naturally paid close attention to her. Fan Qingyin reacted quickly and immediately asked with concern. Not far away, Moya, Keslan, and Kong Yiche also stood up.
Jiang Yu lowered her head to feel the crystal, then smiled and looked up. She first gave Fan Qingyin a reassuring look, then surveyed all the guests present, and raised the crystal glass in her hand:
“By divine blessing, I sincerely invite everyone present to witness the happiness that belongs to me and to Hollandpur. General Lin Yi and I were once blessed by the fruit of fertility, and now this magic has finally blossomed and borne fruit, giving me revelation on this joyous and grand day.”
"Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this small business gathering in Hollandpool. It is very important to me, and I will always remember your strong support." After saying this, she drank the beverage in her glass in one gulp.
The good news instantly ignited the entire venue, and Jiang Yu's close friends cheered enthusiastically. They already knew that Jiang Yu and Lin Yi had received the fertility fruit, but they never expected to receive such good news on such a joyous occasion.
For empires, reproduction is always the most important thing. For those living in utopia, it is a bright future for the continuation of life; for those who know the truth and the essence, it is a rare firefly in the slow slide of declining human civilization into the abyss.
Fan Qingyin smiled warmly, his gaze gently fixed on his wife's face. He could sense every subtle emotion she felt, and a surge of joy washed over him as well.
He glanced indifferently at his wife's belly, which remained flat, showing no sign of life whatsoever.
I don't know how that amazing little life communicated with its mother.
This is how nature always is: the natural bond between a child and mother is much earlier and deeper than that between a child and father.
That's for the best. Fan Qingyin lowered her eyes. Xiao Yu's child is Xiao Yu's child, and has little to do with anyone else. It was Xiao Yu's wish, combined with the intervention of the gods, that brought about this child.
It's still so annoying. Why are so many people trying to get in touch with Xiaoyu? The children too, how did it happen so fast? And there are other children involved too. It's really too much of a hassle.
He immediately bit his lip hard, only stopping his subtle self-punishment when he tasted a hint of blood.
You shouldn't have such thoughts.
It's too dark and too filthy.
On such an important day, Fan Qingyu, who had been wandering around, actually took the time to visit her younger brother and sister-in-law. She sat to the left of Fan Qingyin. As her older sister, she knew almost everything about her younger brother in an instant.
She glanced at her younger brother with amusement.
This silly child is really getting deeper and deeper into trouble; if this continues, he'll be doomed.
Fan Qingyu changed her hair color, dyeing her long silver hair light gold and neatly cutting it short behind her ears. Her stunning beauty also became more understated because she darkened her skin tone and added some freckles.
However, the sacredness and nobility that they have accumulated over time can also make people hesitate to approach them.
But she still had someone by her side.
A boy with a baby face was handing her a beautifully crafted little cake. Noticing her staring at Fan Qingyin for a long time, he said in a slightly aggrieved voice:
"Sister, that's the lord's husband, a very famous divine messenger. Please stop staring at him and have some cake, okay?"
Fan Qingyu withdrew her gaze and glared at him: "You're like a leech, impossible to shake off. You've followed me all the way here, and now you're interfering in everything. You have absolutely no sense of boundaries."
The boy was almost in tears, but he still stubbornly looked at the girl in front of him: "Sister, you have been kind to our family. I came here to repay your kindness. My father and mother also agreed. Please don't send me away anymore."
"You are a precious woman, it's so dangerous for you to travel all over the country alone, let me accompany you!"
"Tsk, they've really messed with me." Fan Qingyu was a little impatient. If she had known she would offend such a powerful figure, she would never have bothered with that family's business.
She gave a mocking smile: "I saved your brother. If anyone should be repaying a debt of gratitude, it should be him. What, is your Berne family's way of repaying a debt by sending you here to offer yourself in marriage?"
"Tsk tsk tsk," she looked the boy up and down, shaking her head with some dissatisfaction: "As far as I know, you've just come of age, haven't been assigned a job yet, and have no way to choose a partner. Your parents are already planning for you so early. How did you guess about my background? Why don't you tell me?"
Fan Qingyu crossed her arms and looked at him coldly: "Then they sent the wrong person. I think your brother is much more pleasing to the eye than you."
The boy's eyes instantly reddened, and soon two crystal-clear tears welled up in his eyes. He sniffed, and Fan Qingyu thought he would run away crying, but the boy said resolutely:
"I will definitely get the position I want, and I will definitely be qualified to participate in the partner selection conference. I promise I will come to you with the highest ranking!"
“My father and mother did have some suspicions, but that doesn’t matter to me. No matter what your identity is, no matter who you are, I will follow you and protect you, even if you never choose me as your partner.”
"Even if you say that, even if he's my own brother, I won't give him any chance!"
