The next morning, Aunt Jin was surprised to see Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng awake this early.

“Young Master Yusheng, Madam, why are you up so early? I haven’t made breakfast yet!” Aunt Jin said as she put on an apron.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng turned around and told her, “There’s no hurry.
We’ll eat breakfast at the usual time.”

“Okay!”

Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng stood in the courtyard.
In front of them was a huge bucket with colorful balls.
Aunt Jin saw that Fang Yusheng was washing those balls and could not help but ask, “You want to wash the balls too?”

Qiao Jiusheng lowered her head and did not speak.

Fang Yusheng said as he washed the balls, “I have to wash them clean.
Children like to put anything in their mouths.
If I don’t wash these balls, I’ll feel terrible.” Yes, when he thought of what he and his sons’ mother had done on the ocean balls, Fang Yusheng felt guilty.

Qiao Jiusheng was playing with water in the bucket.
When she heard Fang Yusheng’s words, she could not help but wink at him.

Fang Yusheng seemed to have been struck by lightning and quickly ignored that.

The bucket had many colorful balls.
Fang Yusheng washed all of them, put them on a piece of plastic film paper, and blew them dry.
Qiao Jiusheng helped him set the balls aside.
She held the balls and suddenly said, “Let’s do it today.”

“What?” Fang Yusheng didn’t even raise his head.

Qiao Jiusheng said, “Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

Fang Yusheng finally looked up.

He looked up at the sky.

The morning was bright and beautiful.
It was a suitable day to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

“Okay.”

After breakfast, the two of them prepared to change and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.
When they were putting on their clothes, Fang Yusheng said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Let’s wear white.
I’ll wear a white shirt, while you wear a white skirt.” They could dress up in a couple outfit.

Qiao Jiusheng asked, “Why?” She sounded doubtful.

Fang Yusheng said, “The last time we registered our marriage, we didn’t take it seriously.” At that time, who would’ve thought that we would fall in love with each other?

On the day they had gone to get their marriage certificate, Fang Yusheng had worn a cotton linen shirt and had no smile on his face.
Qiao Jiusheng had donned a light yellow dress with suspenders and had a forced smile.

No matter how one looked at their photo from that time, it was not a qualified marriage certificate photo.

Qiao Jiusheng agreed to Fang Yusheng’s request.

“You’re right.”

She wore a simple white maternity dress that made her look lively and playful.
She even tied her black hair up.
To look beautiful, she had especially tied her hair up with a peach-colored ribbon and a bow.

Fang Yusheng also wore a white shirt.
He looked like a playful boy.
To make him in the photo look younger than his actual age, he had specially bought a white shirt that gave him a youthful look.
The white fabric and the pure black buttons were designed to fit his body.
When he wore the shirt, he looked like a mature 26-year-old boy.

He did not look like an old man in his thirties.

When Qiao Jiusheng saw Fang Yusheng, she could not help but give him a thumbs up and praise him using a popular phrase from Weibo.
“Young Master is still as handsome as ever today!” she said.

Fang Yusheng whispered into her head and sternly lectured her, “If you mock me again, I’ll slap your mouth.”

In the bathroom, Qiao Jiusheng quickly corrected herself and said, “Young Master looks so handsome today that I can’t close my legs.”

Fang Yusheng completely gave up on lecturing her.

Forget it! I have to take care of my wife even if she is a hooligan.

The two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to take photos again and get a new certificate.
Finally, Qiao Jiusheng’s name and Fang Yusheng’s name appeared on the same marriage certificate.
When Fang Yusheng received the marriage certificate, his gaze was especially gentle.

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart softened as saw his gentle gaze.

“Fang Yusheng.”

“Hmm?” His gaze moved to Qiao Jiusheng’s face.

Qiao Jiusheng wanted to say that she loved him, but she felt that it was too pretentious.
After thinking about that, she said, “I’m quite happy.”

“Me too.”

“To celebrate our wedding today, I’ll treat you to dumplings and pig liver! Let’s go!”

Fang Yusheng was pleasantly surprised.
“You’ll make them?”

Qiao Jiusheng shook her head.
“No, Brother Wei’s dumplings and pig liver are especially delicious.
I am only taking you there because I treat you as one of my own.
Others can’t even eat them even if they wanted to.”

Fang Yusheng didn’t feel happy or honored at all.

At this moment, he didn’t want to eat with Wei Shuyi.
“Forget it, I’ll treat you to a big meal.”

Qiao Jiusheng poked his heart.
“Eating a big meal is expensive.
Doesn’t your heart hurt?”

Fang Yusheng used his actions to tell Qiao Jiusheng that he was also stingy, despite coming from a rich family.

He took her to a restaurant called “Half Acre Flower Field” for lunch.
The restaurant was located in the bustling East District of Binjiang City.
The East District was a pedestrian street, the West District was a e-commerce street, the North was a financial street, and the South District had a river.

This restaurant was located in an antique Tang Dynasty building.
The building wasn’t tall.
It had just three stories, but there were four buildings around it.
In between the four buildings was a quiet and beautiful courtyard.
There was a small bridge with flowing water, lotus blooming quietly on the pond.
A cool breeze blew past the willow trees, and swans played with water.

A sea of pink roses had been planted within a radius of over three hundred meters outside the restaurant.
A rather plain black wooden board hung at the front door of the house, with four words written on it—Half Acre Flower Field

To develop a property on this plot in such a prosperous place and run a restaurant was definitely a huge investment.

Qiao Jiusheng had been to this restaurant before, and the price of a meal here was staggering.

Of course, the dishes and the dining environment were all of high quality.

Strangely, Fang Yusheng seemed to be very familiar with this place.

Qiao Jiusheng followed him into the restaurant.
Along the way, she secretly criticized him in her heart. When we are done eating and getting the bill later, Fang Yusheng better not be frightened by the bill and pull me away.

The waiter led them to the second floor of the restaurant.

The second floor was especially elegant.
All the rooms here were small private rooms, and every private room had a low Tang Dynasty-style dining table.

Fang Yusheng chose a private room called “Dream Walk.”

After taking off her shoes and entering the private room, Qiao Jiusheng glanced at the two pink roses in the white porcelain vase on the table.
She said, “These flowers look pretty.
Let’s plant some in our courtyard too.”

“Sure.”

There was a mahogany corridor outside the private room.
Qiao Jiusheng ran to the corridor and slowly sat down while holding her stomach.
A small pond lay at the bottom of the corridor.
The water was clear, and the pebbles were clearly visible.
Many fish swam in the pond.

Not only did the pond have popular Red Carp, Golden Fish, and Japanese Carp, but it also had ordinary river fish.

Every room had complimentary fish food given by the restaurant.
The box containing the fish food was like the bowl in “Journey to the West” where Monk Tang had stored his vegetarian food.
It was especially exquisite and cute.
Qiao Jiusheng picked up a wooden spoon, dug out a few spoonfuls of fish food, and threw them into the pool one by one.

A few small fishes came over, bit away the fish food, and hid in the seaweed.

Qiao Jiusheng thought it was fun, so she turned around and said to Yusheng, “Yusheng, come and see this quickly.”

Fang Yusheng stood barefoot in the corridor and leaned over to look at Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng sat in the corridor, but her legs were dangling out.
She was fair and slender, and she looked extremely comfortable.
Fang Yusheng casually threw a piece of fish food down and suddenly said, “Do you know that every fish here has an owner?”

“Yeah?”

Qiao Jiusheng had never heard of it before, so she asked, “What do you mean?”

“The VIP guests of this restaurant can raise a fish in this pool.
That fish represents your wish.
If the fish you raise is alive, your wish may come true.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but praise the restaurant owner.
“The boss is really an interesting person.”

“Is that so?” Fang Yusheng was a little happy.
“I think so too.” He added, “But raising fish is not free.
Every person who wants to raise fish here will have to transfer 50,000 yuan to the restaurant every month while their fish is still alive.” So these unattractive fish could be worth hundreds of thousands or millions.

Qiao Jiusheng opened her mouth and could not help but complain.
“What a scheming sales tactic!”

She pondered Fang Yusheng’s words and said with admiration.
“This boss is really smart.
Nowadays, rich people have to worry about not having enough ways to spend money to compete and show off.
For a fish, they have to spend 50,000 yuan a month and 600,000 yuan a year.
This fish isn’t worth it, but this fish represents the value of the owner.

“Anyone who cares about their face and likes to show off will fight to raise fish here!” Qiao Jiusheng slapped her leg and was full of admiration for the store owner.
“This person is really smart.
He really understands people’s hearts!”

Fang Yusheng smiled happily.

Qiao Jiusheng counted the fish and looked over.
There were probably about thirty to forty fish below her.
Countless other fish were hiding in the seaweed and wandering in the distance.
“Gosh, there are so many fish.
The annual income must be tens of millions, right?”

Fang Yusheng said, “Yeah, about 70 million last year.”

“How did you know?” Qiao Jiusheng looked surprised.

Fang Yusheng said, “I’m the boss.”

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

“Boss Yu, please provide for me!” Qiao Jiusheng knew that Fang Yusheng was a big shot!

“Be good.” Fang Yusheng patted her head.
“Stop flirting with me.
Be good and listen to me.
You can have whatever you want.” Fang Yusheng quickly adapted to his new identity as Fish Boss.

Qiao Jiusheng scoffed.

“You really think you’re the boss.”

She swung her legs and thought of something.
She asked Fang Yusheng, “Do you also have a fish here?”

Fang Yusheng nodded.
“Yes.”

“Is it dead?” Qiao Jiusheng felt that Fang Yusheng’s fish had most likely reincarnated.

Fang Yusheng shook his head again.

“Not dead.”

“Which one is yours?” Qiao Jiusheng was very interested in Fang Yusheng’s fish.

Fang Yusheng pointed at the pond below him and said, “The only silver dragonfish is mine.”

Qiao Jiusheng hurriedly got up and returned to the private room before running out.
After a minute, Fang Yusheng saw Qiao Jiusheng walking over from the bridge in the corridor.
She walked to the side of the pool, looked up at Fang Yusheng, and asked him, “In this pool?”

Fang Yusheng looked at her and nodded.

Qiao Jiusheng searched for a long time by the side of the pool.
Finally, she found a silver dragonfish that was particularly eye-catching beside a water plant.
The silver dragonfish had a long lifespan, and Fang Yusheng had chosen it precisely because of that.

He was afraid that if the fish died, his wish would be over.

“This is yours?”

“Yeah.”

“Does it have a name?”

“Yes.”

“What’s it called?”

Fang Yusheng hesitated before saying, “Third Girl.”

Qiao Jiusheng’s expression was a little strange as she said in surprise, “It’s actually the same as my nickname.” Although her nickname was mighty and domineering, her father usually called her “Third Girl.” Only her mother and grandfather always called her “Third Dog.”

Fang Yusheng looked at her with a complicated gaze but didn’t say anything.

Qiao Jiusheng stared at the fish and fed it.
As she fed it, she asked Fang Yusheng, “Perhaps, you made a wish when you raised this fish?”

“Yeah.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng looked up at him and saw that he was staring at the silver dragon fish with a sorrowful gaze.

Something flashed through her mind, and she felt a little stifled.

She could not help but ask, “What wish?”

Fang Yusheng did not want to tell her, but when he saw Qiao Jiusheng curiously staring at him, he could not help but say, “I had wished I could find the person I love.”

After Fang Yusheng said that, he saw Qiao Jiusheng’s expression change.

Suddenly, she stopped feeding the fish.
After saying that it was boring, she ran out to look at the roses.
Fang Yusheng noticed that she seemed to be in low spirits and was a little puzzled.

‘I had wished to find the person I love.’ There was no ambiguity in my words, right?

As Qiao Jiusheng stood by the rose field, she was thinking: In his previous life, Fang Yusheng once said that he had met a girl he loved very much when he was young.
That girl was his beloved woman, but Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin had killed her.

Qiao Jiusheng had been living comfortably recently and had almost forgotten about this matter.

Fang Yusheng had a lover.
That person might have already been killed by Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin.
Qiao Jiusheng just did not know who she was.

Qiao Jiusheng was also curious about who Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin had secretly killed.

Fang Yusheng came down from upstairs and walked to her side.
Before Fang Yusheng could ask Qiao Jiusheng what she was thinking, he heard her ask, “Fang Yusheng, did you like someone when you were young?”
