Chapter 299: Chapter 299 : The Ominous Sign
The passionate affair lasted deep into the night, but Xie Jianyu rejected Zhang Fengxi’s further advances before they could cross the threshold of no return.
That night, as he lay in Zhang Fengxi’s embrace, Xie Jianyu dread of the future. He saw himself giving birth to two adorable babies, and Zhang Fengxi shedding tears of joy at the sight of his sons. He saw Zhang Fengxi transford from a general of the Heavenly Empire’s military troops into a loving and devoted father.
He saw Zhang Fengxi cradling their sons in his arms, kissing their tiny fingers and toes, and playing with them with a tenderness that Xie Jianyu had never seen in him before.
Xie Jianyu continued to watch as a familiar figure approached his small family.
Judging from the elegant and unhurried way the person walked and moved, Xie Jianyu recognized his elder brother at once.
But when Xie Jianshen turned his head to look at Xie Jianyu, the latter woke up with a start.
Lost in thought, the Crown Prince stared at the criss-crossed beam of the ceiling. And then, he let out a soft sigh.
"Big Brother," he whispered softly against his pillow.
Xie Jianyu’s gentle shifting stirred his husband from his slumber. Zhang Fengxi, still drowsy with sleep, tightened his embrace around Xie Jianyu, pulling him closer.
"Baby, go back to sleep. It is barely past midnight."
"Mm."
Xie Jianyu cuddled closer to Zhang Fengxi. He tried to fall asleep, but the image of his elder brother refused to leave his mind.
After another half shichen of restless slumber, the oga gently extracted himself from his husband’s grip and slipped out of bed. Careful not to disturb anyone, he lit a small lamp and made his way to the study.
The Fuxi Palace was hushed and serene at night, the perfect ti for ditation, Xie Jianyu thought with a touch of irony. The Crown Prince pushed open the study door and entered. He hung the lamp on the wall and then went to sit at his desk.
Sprawled across the desk were several work docunts, as well as a blank sheet of paper. Xie Jianyu moved the docunts aside, leaned back in his chair, and gazed at the blank page before him.
He was not used to writing a letter, let alone an apology letter.
He was not used to apologizing to Xie Jianshen, because he had never gotten into an argunt with his elder brother before.
Well, that was also not quite the truth.
Xie Jianyu leaned back in his seat and recalled the events of his past life.
Once his father and his elder brother found out about his pregnancy, both of them forced him to abort the child.
At that ti too, he got into a heavy disagreent with his elder brother.
Xie Jianshen literally shoved a bowl of abortifacient in front of him and told him to "do it as early as possible
