I was still in Fu Sheng's arms when the door suddenly swung open and the rest of the family entered.
Fu Tong and Fu Teng helped Master Fu inside carefully, supporting him on both sides, while Madame Fu walked in with her two daughters beside her. The boys followed close behind. The room, which had felt quiet and private only moments ago, quickly filled with warmth and movement.
As soon as they stepped in, Fu Sheng slowly loosened his hold on me and shifted slightly away.
I smiled faintly.
My husband was still a little shy when it came to showing affection in front of his family.
Madame Fu was the first to walk up to me. Without hesitation, she reached for my hands and held them tightly.
"Su Long," she said, her voice already trembling with emotion, "you do not know what you have done for this family. I knew from the day you married my son that you would bring blessings into our home. If not for you… Fu Li… sh-she…"
Her voice broke before she could finish.
