Before he met Lingâer, there was nothing that could affect his emotions.
After he met Lingâer, just one look from her could affect his emotions.
So many years had passed, but he still did not have the courage to face Lingâer with her memory restored.
He did not know what to do with her either.
Lingâer was a sensitive person, so she knew how Feng Jiuxiao was feeling at the moment. He certainly was in a good mood. âAlright, youâre already so old, and youâre still so sappy,â she said.
Feng Jiuxiao looked at Lingâer, and his gaze turned to her belly. He wanted to hold a press conference to announce their wedding date. Taking advantage of the fact that the month was still young, he wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
He knew Qin Shu was pregnant.
At the same time, he would announce that he had a daughter.
It was a joyous occasion.
âI want our wedding to be unique, a grand affair.â
Feng Jiuxiaoâs voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Lingâer did not think the wedding needed to be unique. She and Feng Jiuxiao were unique enough, but she still humoured him with a smile, agreeing, âOkay.â
After the incident with Situ Qianhui, she felt it was time to let everyone know that Feng Jiuxiao was her husband. It was better that they shared an open relationship to prevent further speculation.
......
Qin Shu stood at the side and watched. Her parents were doing quite well now. Her mother loved her father even though she could not remember her past with him.
If she regained her memory, would she still feel the same?
Feng Jiuxiao held Lingâer in his arms and said excitedly, âIâll start planning the wedding now.â
He had planned the wedding twenty years ago. He had not succeeded as the President of Feng Yi then, and his father threatened to end Lingâerâs life. Hence, the fake marriage he had with Situ Qianhui.

In the study...
Deputy Jin looked at Feng Jiuxiao and Qin Shu. Finally, his gaze fell on Qin Shuâs eyes. He could not help but want to see the colour of her eyes.
âQin Shu, let me see the true colour of your eyes. Only one person in your generation will inherit that shade of amber. I want to see how they look.â
Qin Shu did not think it was a big deal. She just needed to wash off the dye with some medicine, so she agreed.
Though, it was not any ordinary medicinal liquid. It was quite rare and, therefore, precious.
Feng Jiuxiao took out a bottle of medicinal liquid and placed it on the table. Qin Shu opened the bottle cap and dabbed some liquid onto a silk handkerchief which she used to wash the dye out of her eyes.
When the medicinal liquid touched the pupils, it caused a reaction. The medicinal liquid was formulated using traditional Chinese medicine and would not hurt the eyes when used as a wash.
After Qin Shu washed out the dye in her eyes, she dried herself using a towel. When she opened her eyes, their colour had changed.
Jin Cheng had been staring at Qin Shu the whole time. The moment she reopened her eyes, he received quite a shock. The colour of her eyes was the same as Brother Jiuâs. There was no difference in colour; they were just as pure as her fatherâs.
It was very rare.
âBrother Jiu, you have to see this. Such a pure amber colouration is very rare,â he hurriedly urged Feng Jiuxiao to look.
Feng Jiuxiao turned his attention to Qin Shu. His gaze fell on his daughterâs eyes. Just as Jin Cheng had said, it was a pure amber colour. It was very rare.
It was the first time Qin Shu had heard of it. Looking at the eyes of the two people in front of her, she asked, âWhatâs so special about the purity of colour in oneâs eyes? Are my eyes even considered pure?â
âOf course they areâthe purer the colour, the faster oneâs growth in martial strength. The Feng family is as powerful today because they managed to raise an ancestral master. Just look at Brother Jiu. Heâs already reached the peak of perfection at such a young age. No one can compare to him!â
Jin Cheng changed the topic at this point. âHowever, a green basket is better than a blue one. The old will support the new. Who knows? You may even surpass Brother Jiu.â
Qin Shu was taken aback. In disbelief, she asked Feng Jiuxiao, âDad, is what he is saying true?â
Feng Jiuxiao nodded. âMm. Youâll have to put your heart and soul into learning martial arts and strive to reach my level before turning thirty,â he said.
Qin Shu could not help but laugh. âIs this what you call entering via the backdoor? Iâve got an inherent advantage.â
âThe difference isnât too great. Where some might take ten years, youâll only need five,â Deputy Jin explained.
Qin Shu felt at ease. She was awesome. Her ancestors had opened a backdoor for their future generations.
It was incredible!
Initially, Qin Shu felt that it was already good to be on par with a man when it came to martial arts. Now that she had learnt an interesting piece of news, she wanted to go further, surpassing even her fatherâs martial strength.
...
As the President of Feng Yi, Feng Jiuxiaoâs wedding ceremony was grand. All the media outlets rushed to report the news and write the biggest headlines.
Unfortunately for them, Feng Jiuxiao deliberately hid the identity and appearance of his wife-to-be, shrouding her behind a curtain of mystery.
As such, the various media outlets were all racking their brains, trying to come up with ways to obtain what their competitors could not.
Another juicy tidbit was the appearance of the Presidentâs long lost daughter, who would be attending the wedding ceremony together with her parents.
Feng Jiuxiao also released the news that he and his wife were married and had had a daughter together; the wedding ceremony was just a formality. Furthermore, his daughter was pregnant again, which was a cause for celebration.
After this news was released, there were many different opinions.
Some thought it was a cliché plot device of a third-rate novel.
Others said that the president was holding the wedding to secure his lineage.
There were even rumours floating around that the Presidentâs wife was a runaway who disappeared with their daughter only to be found and brought back.
Most people agreed with the second view, and it quickly became a hot topic of conversation at many dinner tables.
Qin Shu shook the papers in her hands. The most eye-catching was the news of the Presidentâs upcoming wedding.
Although it was rather late for a wedding ceremony, it was better late than never.
It just so happened that Fu Tingyu was coming, so the family of three could attend her parentsâ wedding.
She picked up her phone and called Fu Tingyu.
After a while, her husband answered the phone. It was nice hearing the familiar sound of his voice. âDid you miss me?â
Qin Shu was already used to the man asking her if she missed him. âBaby Yu, my father and I have gotten to know each other.â
Fu Tingyu was still a little surprised when he heard that. âThe last I heard, you said you didnât know him well. Howâd you two get so close overnight? Wait. Are you happy?â
âIâm happy; whatâs there not to be happy about? Iâve just... Iâve been obsessing over Motherâs memories. Mother and Father are getting along quite well now. Father loves her, and Iâm sure the feeling is mutual with Mother. Now, with another baby coming and the wedding day set, Iâm worried itâll all fall to pieces...â Qin Shu answered truthfully.
Fu Tingyu mulled over his wifeâs words and said, âYour mother is an adult. If the day comes when she recovers her memories, Iâm sure sheâll react maturely.â
Hearing this, Qin Shu also felt that the man was right. Her mother was already in her forties; she should not react like she did when she was twenty. Moreover, her mother and father had been together for more than ten years. She did not think things would turn out too badly.
âYouâre right. I hope Mother and Father will be happy, just like they are now.â
Fu Tingyu comforted his wife, âDonât think so much. Your mother and father have been together for so long, and their feelings for each other run deep. Itâs not like they once were in their youth.â
âAre you still thinking about it?â Qin Shu suddenly asked.
âIâm not like my mother and father. They were in love before they got married; we are not at the same starting point as they were. Youâll be my girlfriend, and weâll work our way towards becoming husband and wife. You belong to me. Youâre mine; I wonât let anyone else have you. You are my everything,â Fu Tingyu growled domineeringly.
