" What are you doing?" Fu Chen, who saw his father acting strange immediately turned to look at the door that was closed and said in a low whisper, " Do you know, how suspicious this looks? What if someone comes in?"
Fu Yu Sheng's hands that were unbuttoning his shirt paused and then he looked at his son before calming stating, " Aren't you a bit too smart, Chen Chen?"
" Great Grandpa sent me to a lot of classes one of them was self-defence classes, I learned a lot of things from there," said Fu Chen sounding quite pleased with himself, and why would he not? Even though he pretended like he didn't care about what his father said or did, he was still a young child who liked hearing his father praise him. Thus, when Fu Yu Sheng called him 'smart', Fu Chen's little chest puffed out and he immediately started looking at his father with a hardly suppressed glee. " Great grandfather said that I am smarter than you when you were my age."

His grandfather didn't want something like that to happen so he made sure that Fu Chen was aware of the position he was sitting in from the second he regained consciousness and knew what was right and wrong.
So, compared to him who was playing around with the rest of his siblings, Fu Chen was much more capable since he started to learn about his responsibilities as the heir from the very start.
" Anyway, you don't need to worry about it," said Fu Yu Sheng before he unbuttoned the rest of his buttons. " We look alike, so even if someone comes inside, they will know our relationship right away, all right?"
Fu Chen nodded but he still muttered under his breath. " But it's still weird."
" You are the one who asked me a question and wouldn't let me dodge it," said Fu Yu Sheng in return as he crouched down and raised his shirt from one end displaying an ugly scar right above his chest. " You see this? I received it many years ago when I was living outside the country, I almost didn't make out alive of this injury but somehow I managed. Years ago, I wasn't capable enough to protect you or your mother, if I returned then you two would have been in danger."
He raised his hand and rubbed Fu Chen's small head with a sad smile, " There were a lot of dangers coming after me, if I came back to you guys then I would have brought those dangers with me. You know how your grandparents died, right?"
Fu Chen stared at his father, his gaze darting between his father's face and the bullet wound as he slowly nodded and answered, " They were attacked by the enemies of the Fu company and lost their lives, great grandfather said that the family that was a part of the four influential families of the Country X was afraid that they will be squeezed out of their position, so they killed grandma and grandpa."
" That's right," said Fu Yu Sheng with a smile that was no different from usual but Fu Chen felt the sadness oozing out of his father's body. " Your eldest uncle stepped away from the position because he was too scared to take on the future that was in front of him, he was a coward from the start, hiding in those science books and chemicals, saying that he was interested in them, maybe he was but I know that more than just being interested in them, he was more of a scaredy cat who didn't want to face the reality and pick up the responsibilities that belonged to him, and after our parents died—— his fear became, even more, worse and then he walked out of the house leaving behind nothing but a mess."

" You wanted to know why I didn't come back? Its because I was worried that I will entangle you and your mother in my messes, if I returned or took you two with me, then Chen Chen would you have been able to survive if something happened to me and your mother?" asked Fu Yu Sheng, the reason he was able to get past those hard times was all due to the fact that he had his siblings by his side, no matter how idiotic they were, they were still family.
But the same could not be said for Fu Chen.
He was his and Song Yan's only son and was thus a lot more lonely than he ever was and that was when Song Yan was with him but if something happened to Song Yan then what would have happened? Will Fu Chen have survived the ordeal without breaking down?
Fu Chen too knew that he wouldn't have survived so he shook his head at once.
" That's right," said Fu Yu Sheng as he stood back up and buttoned his shirt once again. " I know how important your mother is to you and I know that even if something would happen to me, you two would have survived. That's why I kept you two away from me because I don't want you to go through what I have, if you want to blame me then you are free to do so, but I do not regret doing what I did."
