275 Wu Genji’s snake like face

" Chen Chen, what is this?" Fu Yu Sheng was preparing to bathe Fu Chen when he saw the locket with a worn-out jade hanging in the middle that his son was wearing around his neck. It was pretty old in fact, from the number of marks on it, he was sure that the locket must be at least twenty or more years old but such an old locket was what is it doing with Fu Chen?

Fu Chen looked down at the locket around his neck and touched the pretty jade that shone brighter than any other jade even being worn out like that and answered, " Mommy gave it to me, she said that it will protect me from things that are bad."

Ah, so it was a sort of talisman. Fu Yu Sheng wasn't surprised by the fact that Song Yan gave something like this to Fu Chen, he knew that even if she entrusted their son to him, there was no way she would just hand it over without any proper measures. This jade locket must have been her backup plan given he failed to protect Fu Chen from Wu Genji, Fu Yu Sheng heaved a sigh full of despondency, he knew that Song Yan didn't trust him but seeing such evidence of her lack of trust was something that really caused his heart to twinge with pain.

"It's pretty," knowing that he couldn't show his pathetic side to Fu Chen, Fu Yu Sheng smiled and picked him up from in his arms before bringing him to the small bathroom at the end of the corridor. " Now let's make you pretty as well."

" You can do that? I thought I was destined to be ugly because I look like you." Even though Fu Chen got the ice cream that he was promised, he wasn't willing to let go of his 'drive his irresponsible father' mad and continued to poke the tiger in the eye.

And because this tiger was chained and beaten into place by the tigress, he could only smile and say, " Don't worry, with your mom's genes, I am sure you can still be saved."

Fu Yu Sheng took Fu Chen to take a bath around eight-thirty in the night, Song Yan was going to stay the night out tonight and both Song Lingyan and Wen Mingzhi knew about her plan to leave Fu Chen with her friend to give them some quality time to spend together. Neither of them would have thought that the Fu Chen was spending the night just a wall away from the two of them.

In the Wu family mansion, Wu Genji bade good night to her eldest brother. " Brother Qinfan, don't worry I am fine you don't have to worry about me so much."

" How can I not worry about you?" Wu Qinfan stared at his sister lying on the bed with her complexion as pale as the moon and sighed. " You are the princess of the Wu family with me around you should have gotten everything that you wanted but look at your useless brother, I can't even get you the one thing that you wanted so much."

Wu Genji smiled as she looked at the man in front of her and took hold of his wrist and said, " Eldest brother, it's all right maybe I am not destined to with Brother Fu after all sister in law Song is really pretty and they even have a child together, how can I come in between the two of them. You don't need to worry about me like this, okay? I am fine and I am happy that my family loves me so much."

The more sensible she acted the more Wu Qinfan felt bad for his sister, how long has she been waiting for Fu Yu Sheng? For almost six to seven years and yet …. He couldn't accept it, nor did he want his sister to be upset over Fu Yu Sheng. It wasn't as if he didn't understand the fact that his sister and Fu Yu Sheng were not compatible in the least but what made angered him was that Fu Yu Sheng actually chose someone like Song Yan instead of his sister!

If he was going to marry a good for nothing like her then what was wrong with his sister? At least little Genji would have brought him the shares of the Wu family what can Song Yan bring for him?

" Don't worry, I will think of something," said Wu Qinfan as he ran his hand over Wu Genji's head, his sister was his life. The second he held her in his arms, he swore to protect her and give her everything she wanted …there was no way he was going to break that promise now. " Now close your eyes and go to sleep, tomorrow we will go and have fun in an amusement park, okay?"

As soon as he said those words Wu Genji's eyes curled into a beautiful smile as she said, " You are the best big brother!"

Hearing her words, Wu Qinfan chuckled before he leaned down and kissed her forehead, " I know, that is why you need to make sure that you sleep for a total of four hours properly."

Wu Genji nodded and quite obediently shut her eyes as if she was really going to sleep, Wu Qinfan stared at her angel-like face and after he let out a light breath, he walked out of the room.

As soon as the door closed behind him with a click, Wu Genji opened her eyes and looked around the room sharply, her gaze was no longer innocent and there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes as she pushed herself off the bed and sneered coldly, " That man is such an annoyance, can't he just leave me alone in peace? How can someone chatter for an hour like that? Isn't he the CEO of some big company, how is he so free then? What's more, I will have to go and entertain him tomorrow at an idiotic amusement park. Does he think that will cheer me up?"

She let out an angry huff before sliding down the bed, her feet touched the comfortable carpet on the floor and Wu Genji let out a sigh of contentment.  " Hah, staying still in that wheelchair throughout the day is such a hard task, it's really not good for my body. Just look at that my legs are all cramped up, it's a great thing that I can at least walk around my room like this."

With a slight stumble, she got on her feet and smiled as she wriggled her toes, this …how she has wished to do such a simple thing like this? A slight discomfort rose in her chest and Wu Genji frowned before striding towards the dressing table that was sitting in the corner of her room with a big mirror alighted on top.

As soon as she came to stand in front of the mirror, she saw the face that was sticking out of the middle of her chest, the long black hair that was scattered all over her chest and the molten grey scales that revealed the festering flesh underneath was equally ugly and scary but Wu Genji wasn't scared, she stared in the mirror and said lightly, " How many times I have told you to stay put and not come out of your own? What if we get caught?"

The face protruding out of her chest opened her slit like reptilian eyes and flicked her long tongue out of her lips as she parted her chapped lips and hissed in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, " Why can't I come out on my own? Have you forgotten who gave you this chance at life? Don't you know how much I wanted to eat that woman? That tender flesh and juicy skin… you have no idea, her Yin lifeline was better than anyone I have ever seen, it was almost close to being immortal! I don't know who she is but I know one thing and that's, she is a wonderful meal! But you stopped me from eating her instead you fed me that stupid, crying little brat …she was so thin that she didn't have much flesh on her and her lifeline wasn't that great either. I say, that we go and eat that woman, let me swallow her whole and we can get another few years lined up!"

" What do you know!" Even with an ugly face sticking out of her chest, Wu Genji wasn't acting out of the ordinary. Instead, she strode to the dressing table and picked up the ring that had seven snakes coiled on top of it and softly stroked it. " That woman doesn't look like she was an easy target and given how she always stuck to brother Fu and others, it was impossible to eat her. She isn't some five or six years toddler who can be lured out of the house with just a few candies and toys if you think that killing an adult was that easy then why would I bother with small children? They don't have enough blood and flesh, even their lifelines are not enough to fill mine."

The face of the woman blinked its reptilian-like eyes and sneered, " That woman is sticking to your brother Fu, are you willing to let go of this matter that easily? Why do I sense fear in you? Are you scared that you won't be able to take that woman down? Or are you afraid that your brother Fu wouldn't like you … no, maybe you are scared that you wouldn't be able to stop yourself from eating your brother Fu? I have to say that …your brother Fu looked really charming and delicious!"

" Shut up!" snapped Wu Genji as she turned her face away from the mirror and strode to the big portrait in the middle of her room and pushed it aside with one hand. If Wu Qinfan would have seen her like this then he definitely wouldn't have thought of her as an angel.

As soon as the portrait was pushed aside a small door came into view, Wu Genji took out a key from the cabinet that was sitting next to the door and unlocked the oak door. The second the door opened, the sound of a child crying and sniffling echoed inside the room and Wu Genji smiled after looking at the child's face who was hiding in the corner. " Little nephew, how have you been?"
