Rose Manor

Fu Jichen didn't say anything, but he was very active. He grabbed the child's arm and pulled him to stand against the wall, meaning to make him face the wall and think about his mistakes.

Shen Jia Nian had always protected her child. When she saw this, she was about to intercede when her wrist was held by Fu Jichen and he took her away without any explanation.

When he reached the door of the room, Fu Jichen paused for a moment, then said something deliberately for the little one in the room to hear: "Tell him to figure out where he went wrong."

"Little rice cake, he is still young..."

Fu Jichen pulled her away, and his words were scattered in the corridor. Fu Sinian in the room could not hear: "Don't always say that he is still young, he is not young anymore. To take a step back, some things have to be taught from an early age, and they will be decided later. Sex, it will be difficult to teach it.”

"It's not as serious as you said." Shen Jianian put her palm on the back of his hand and said in a dull tone, "You know best what kind of temper this child has. He is usually very obedient and sensible. If you punish him like this, it will break his heart."

In the final analysis, Shen Jia Nian felt sorry for his child. The child's words must have been unintentional. It was not a big deal and there was no need to put it on the line.

"Everything else is up to you, but this matter is up to me." Fu Jichen said in a non-negotiable tone.

Fu Jichen took Shen Jia Nian back to the master bedroom and sat her down on the sofa. Shen Jia Nian couldn't sit still. He wanted to get up several times and go to the children's room to see his son, but Fu Jichen stopped him: "Wait a little longer."

Shen Jianian looked at his watch frequently and told him the time from time to time: "It's been half an hour, that's it."

Fu Jichen took the book and read it calmly.

In the children's room, not long after his parents left, Fu Sinian shed tears and stubbornly refused to cry. The tears rolled down his cheeks and he raised his hands to wipe them away with his sleeves.

On weekdays, no matter how strict Fu Jichen was, he always educated him verbally and never punished him. After all, he is the only child, so Fu Jichen naturally loves him. This was the first time he was punished to face the wall. The little guy couldn't bear it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged and tears kept falling.

Fu Jichen counted the time. After standing for an hour, he closed the book and came from the master bedroom.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Fu Jichen heard a slight sobbing sound coming from the corner. His expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal and walked in with steady steps.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, Fu Sinian held his breath and stopped sobbing.

After waiting for a moment, a force came from his arm. It was Fu Jichen who pulled his arm and turned him around. Fu Sinian didn't look at him and turned around, his face still turned to one side.

Fu Jichen squatted down and held his shoulders with both hands: "Are you angry with dad?"

Fu Sinian's eyelashes were all wet. He sniffed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "No."

"A man never tells lies."

Fu Sinian pursed his lips and did not answer.

Fu Jichen found a chair for him to sit on. He still squatted in front of him and called his name in a serious tone: "Fu Sinian."

Fu Sinian was a little afraid of him, so he turned his head to look at him, then lowered his head.

Fu Jichen took out a tissue and wiped the tears on his face. While wiping, he said earnestly: "You are my child. I know you are smart and understand everything, so I will only say some things once, so you have to remember them. Your mother had a car accident in the past years and was not in good health. She suffered a lot while she was pregnant with you, but she never said it. A few months after giving birth to you, you were taken away by bad people and your life was in danger. Your mother, she I witnessed it with my own eyes. I was frightened and it took me more than two years to see a doctor before I got better. Now I often have heart palpitations. What she is most nervous about is your safety. No matter what she says, you must listen carefully and don't make her sad. angry."

Although what he said was long, his tone was unpleasant, so that Fu Sinian could hear clearly.

The quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time, and Fu Jichen asked him: "Did you understand?"

Fu Sinian had stopped crying and nodded.

Fu Jichen: "Answer me."

Fu Sinian rubbed the corners of his eyes and opened his mouth to say, "I understand." He lowered his red eyes, and his voice still had a nasal sound after crying, "I know I was wrong, and I will never do that again." Fu Jichen believed He really knew. He stood up straight and stroked the soft hair on his head with his palm: "Go and tell your mother, don't let her worry."

Fu Sinian obediently stood up from the chair, walked out of the room first, and headed towards the master bedroom.

Shen Jianian sat on the sofa, lowering her head and picking her fingers, feeling a little anxious. She didn't know how Fu Jichen was chatting with his son. He wouldn't let her go, saying that he wanted to talk to his son alone. However, on second thought, Fu Jichen did things in a measured way. To be fair, he did a better job than her in educating children. She always doted on Fu Sinian.

"Mother."

Hearing Fu Sinian's voice, Shen Jianian raised his head suddenly. Before he could see clearly, Fu Sinian plunged into her arms and apologized to her with a sob.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have listened to you carefully, and I shouldn't have said that to you. I didn't mean it. Can you forgive me?" Tears appeared on the little face that had just been wiped clean by my father.

Shen Jia Nian's heart tightened and her eyes suddenly turned red. She hugged Fu Sinian and choked with sobs: "Mom is not angry with you. She is also reflecting on whether she is too nervous about you and puts you under pressure."

Fu Sinian sobbed and shook his head: "No... no. I know it's because my mother loves me and doesn't want me to be in danger outside."

Tears were swirling in Shen Jia Nian's eyes, but in the end he couldn't hold it back and flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

When Fu Jichen came over, he saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying non-stop. He stood by the door and did not go in to disturb them for the time being.

The next day was autumn outing. Fu Sinian set the alarm in advance and got up from bed early.

Shen Jianian helped him pack his schoolbag yesterday. A bag of snacks he bought at the supermarket were put into a canvas bag and zipped up so they wouldn't fall out.

After Fu Sinian washed up, he went downstairs carrying a small schoolbag and a canvas bag.

Breakfast has been prepared and placed on the dining table. Aunt Cheng and his mother are helping him put rice balls and fruits. The thermos cup is also filled with warm water, and his father screws on the lid of the cup for him.

After breakfast, Shen Jianian sent Fu Sinian out. Looking at his bouncing figure, she was ready to give some more instructions, but after thinking about it, she swallowed the words that came to her lips. She told Fu Sinian about all the safety risks that should be mentioned yesterday. He was so smart that he would remember them.

Fu Sinian climbed into the car and when he closed the door, he stuck his head out of the car and waved to Shen Jianian: "Goodbye, mom. I'm a good boy. I don't play in the water, climb trees, or go to dangerous places. I will follow the teacher's instructions. demand activities.”

"Yes." Shen Jianian smiled and waved to him, "Goodbye."

Fu Sinian closed the car door, sat upright, fastened his seat belt, and told the driver that he was ready to go.

The car started, drove out of the front yard of the villa, exited the fence gate, and quickly drove out of sight.

Shen Jianian was still standing on the steps, looking in the direction of the fence gate. The car was no longer visible there, but she did not look away for a long time.

A hand fell on her shoulder and patted her in a comforting way. She turned her head and looked at Fu Jichen who was standing next to her. She leaned slightly on her side and leaned against him.

Fu Jichen hugged her and, in order to reassure her, said, "If you are worried, I will send two bodyguards to follow him secretly to protect his safety."

"No need." Shen Jianian shook his head and his voice was so soft that he seemed to be talking to himself, "It's just an autumn outing. Nothing will happen. It's my own problem. When he grows up, he will go out to study and go to many places. He will fall in love, get married and have children. I can't always tie him to my side and put him under my nose. I have to slowly learn to let go and overcome psychological barriers."

"Why are you thinking so long-term? Fu Si is only five years old and is still young. He will stay with you for many, many years." Fu Jichen held her shoulders and comforted her.

Shen Jianian raised his head and smiled slightly: "I usually say he is still young, but you always disagree and say he is not young anymore. Why do you say he is young now?"

Fu Jichen lowered his eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly: "Special matters will be treated with special treatment."
