Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C32
“Hey, be a bit more honest, or else you’ll be bragging.”
She leaned back, pushing him out of her arms. It was not easy to blow against her body, so Chi Yinan didn’t have such a feeling. His body leaned over again, and this time, the hair dryer fell to the ground.
“Warm Jin, let’s go back to the quiet garden tomorrow.” His vague words, omitted
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Chi Yinan suddenly stopped and looked at the smile on her face. His eyes were pitch black as he pressed her lips, “Warm Jin, tell me, what were you laughing at?”
His voice was neither low nor cold. Instead, it had a repressed hoarse quality to it. She pursed her lips and did not speak. He used his finger to bite, and she opened her mouth to bite.
“Hur hur, what a thorny rose. Let’s see if I can pull it out one at a time.”
Chi Yinan grabbed her waist and left her alone.
Chi Yinan carried her to the bathroom to brace herself, then took the towel and carried her back to the big bed. She had just turned around when she was pulled into his embrace, her chin against the top of her head. She was carried into his arms like a baby, his big hands still at his waist, still the same as before even after he had fallen asleep.
He was obviously very tired, but he couldn’t sleep, and didn’t dare to roll over and over again. If he woke up now, he would probably be like a beast, and with his eyes closed, he would actually think about their honeymoon, the Maldives’ sea was very beautiful, because she didn’t want to marry him, and on the honeymoon, she almost didn’t want to talk to him, and on the wedding night, he rudely pushed her onto the bed, saying that a single minute was worth a thousand gold, and he hated the arrogant and domineering fellow in front of him. He hated Su Xiao Yun forcefully married him because of his family background and status.
There’s a chapter after that
“If I don’t go out to take a look, the scenery here is pretty good.” He had changed into a bathing suit and leaned against the door with his sunglasses to look at her curled up in the rattan chair, and she had hated him so much that she had turned her head away without a word and taken him for air, and then he had come in and spoken to her and she had ignored him again, and he had been angry, and he had pinched her chin in an aggressive way, and he had threatened to pull out her thorns, word for word, as he had said tonight, but with a different ending.
quiet garden
Since his last illness, the old man had been resting in the quiet garden and didn’t go to the sanatorium. Perhaps because he was old and wanted to stay with the juniors and feel the atmosphere of his family, no one could tell when the old man’s illness would come. Everyone was mentally prepared.
She followed him in. Her mother-in-law, Gu Huingru, was busy arranging flowers in the living room, wearing a white qipao, with a waistcoat draped over her shoulders, she looked very dignified and graceful. Even at home, she had very carefully made up her face, as expected of a daughter-in-law from a large family, if it was her, she would probably be accompanied by pajamas and slippers, making her feel at ease.
“Warm Jin, come here. Last time, I said that I would teach you how to insert flowers, and now is the right time.”
Su Wenjin put down her bag and obediently went over. She took the flowers and began to cut the roots. Chi Yinan was bored, so he turned around and went upstairs to see the old man.
“Mom, this one looks better on the left.”
Gu Hui Ru followed his instructions and placed the long one on the left side, then cut the lily into a shorter shape and placed it in front of the other. She casually said, “You should know the Su Clan’s CEO, right?”
With a ‘kacha’ sound, the lily fell on the table. She did not believe that Gu Huiru had only asked a casual question and must have considered her question, so she nodded: “We did know each other. Later on, he went abroad and did not contact us for a long time.” She did not hide anything from her mother-in-law. With her mother’s ability, it was impossible for her to hide anything even if she wanted to.
“The industry has a good impression of him. Although you all are friends, you shouldn’t go too close to him to prevent others from gossiping about him.”
“Mom, I know my limits.” People were afraid of this. She understood it, and she was the wife of the Chi family now, so she couldn’t bear any dirt on her.
“Mhmm, don’t blame Mom for being too nosy. In the end, I still hope that the two of you will have a good life. We’ve been married for three years already, it’s about time we had a child. I’ll talk to him later.”
Every word that she said was on point, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of forcefulness or rudeness. She could only obediently nod her head. They had already been married for three years. If it was a normal family, then their children would have already come out.
She washed her hands and went upstairs to see the old man. When she opened the door, Yi Nan was sitting in front of the bed, talking with the old man. The grandfather and grandson both had smiles on their faces, and when they heard the door, they both turned to look at her.
“Wan-Jin, come here quickly. Let grandpa see if you’ve lost weight.”
Su Wenjin took a big step and walked over to Chi Yinan, who gave his seat to her. She held the old man’s hand and smiled, “I really didn’t lose weight this time. But grandpa lost weight again. It makes my heart ache.”
“Sigh, my old bones, I don’t even know where I buried them. I thought I wouldn’t be able to get through this, but now I’ve been brought back. I’ve seen them all. As long as you juniors live a good life, I won’t be worried about you anymore.”
“Grandpa, I can’t bear to see you.” It wasn’t easy for a senior who doted on him to accept his fate.
Happy weekend to all of you
“It’s normal for people to die from old age and sickness. Let’s just let it go.” The old man patted Sun Yiyi’s hand and looked at his grandson who had been educated a lot. He sighed, “Although grandpa doesn’t want to force you two, it’s about time for you to have a child after three years of marriage. You guys are not young, it’s just right to have a child.”
When she brought up this topic again, she had already calmed down a lot. She followed his words and continued, “Grandpa said that we should have a child. When the time comes, Grandpa will teach him how to write calligraphy.”
“Alright, alright.”
Chi Yinan’s tall body stood at the side and watched them talk. He heard the word ‘child’ unavoidably stiff, then recovered very quickly and subconsciously looked at the woman’s expression. It was obvious that she was much calmer, and she said with a smile that she wanted a child. He couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like if they really gave birth to a child.
Whether it was a boy or a girl, a little bit more like her or a little bit more like herself, or a twin, there were both men and women.
“Mom told us to go down to eat. Let’s go.”
They went down the stairs one after the other. The long hall was dimly lit, and as she walked ahead, he saw her back and thought of the first time they had met. It had not been pleasant.
Only when he got closer, could he clearly see that, in order to pick a lotus flower, she had slipped into the water. In the rare instance, he had kindly fished her out of the water with a body of water, but in the end, he was unable to do anything to her. At that time, he had never seen such an unruly and unreasonable woman, covered with thorns, covered with moonlight, at that time under the dim light of the street lamp, she was standing on top of a rock and viciously glared at him.
He didn’t expect her to thank him in the first place, but after being purposely stepped on, the current him remembered her in his heart.
The eunuch was not home for business today. There was only his mother-in-law, Gu Huiru, at the table. She and Chi Yinan had lost their appetite because of the child’s topic, and absent-mindedly ate the food in the bowl.
“Yinan, I’ve discussed it with Wan-Jin, it’s time for you to have a child.” In the end, Grandma Gu Hui Ru still couldn’t hold it in. “Taking advantage of the fact that we’re now born and that Wan-Jin is not too young, giving birth to less suffering and recovering her figure.”
She didn’t say anything. What her mother-in-law said was right, her current age was indeed perfect for giving birth. If she were to give birth in another two years, she would be an adult.
“Warm Jin, what do you think?” At this moment, Chi Yinan realized that he cared about her answer. He couldn’t help but hold his breath and turned to look at her.
Su Wenjin swallowed the food in his mouth and said with clear eyes, “Good, it’s not bad to have a baby.” It’s really not bad.
“Since you’ve all agreed, get ready now. Yi Nan, be careful when you go out and socialize.”
She nodded to herself.
Chi Yinan was a bit surprised. His black eyes changed constantly. He didn’t show much emotion on his face and just pinched a chicken wing into her bowl, telling her to eat more.
She lowered the car window, tilted her head towards the window, and closed her eyes to let the wind blow, calming her feverish mind. Chi Yinan focused on driving, occasionally glancing at the road from the quiet park to the sea of streams, which was quite long. The two of them did not speak at all. When they arrived at the entrance of the district, Su Wenjin suddenly remembered what Kieran had told her two days ago.
“Stop the car, I’m going down.”
“What is it?” He frowned. They had already reached his house, but he still stopped his car by the roadside and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I still have some matters to attend to, so you don’t need to wait for me tonight.” She was about to open the door, but was stopped by Chi Yinan, “I’ll walk with you wherever you go.”
“No need, I’ll take a taxi.”
The car door was locked, but he maintained his indifferent expression and said, “I’ll take you there.” She had already started the car and had no choice but to announce the location.
“Meet friends?”
When Chi Yinan asked this question, the first thought that came to his mind was Lin Jingsheng, but he also thought that Su Wenjin would not be so daring, so he felt relieved.
“A university reunion.”
She had not actually attended many of those gatherings since she had graduated from university, but Kieran wanted to go as well, so he pulled her along and told her he had a date.
Chi Yinan finally found a parking spot after a few rounds. Su Wenjin had a bad premonition ever since she saw him looking around the parking lot. When he stopped the car and opened the car door, this premonition was already proven that he wanted to go with her.
“Don’t university gatherings include family members?” Chi Yinan saw that she was standing where she was and staring at him with dissatisfaction in her black and white eyes, so he asked back in a slightly displeased manner.
“No, I’m just afraid that my friends won’t enter your eyes. Don’t put on airs when the time comes.” She shot him a shot at him without giving him any face at all. If he really did not give him face when the time came, it would be too embarrassing. Inside were all his university classmates whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, it was normal for him to joke around.
According to the address that Kieran had given them, they found the room. The door was ajar, and they could hear the ruckus from outside. She was about to open the door when someone inside pulled it open.
“Squad leader, it’s been a few years since we last met, but you’re still as charming as ever!”
Jiang Zhaoyang was preparing to make a round when he saw a man wearing a black shirt suddenly appear behind Su Wenjin. He knew who it was the moment he saw the man. He then put on a smiling face and made a gesture of invitation.
Chi Yinan was a man who had mixed opinions in the business circles, but Green City International had developed like the sun in the sky. He had already become the leader of the property industry in City S. It could be seen that his means and abilities were very impressive, as Jiang Zhaoyang had arranged for Su Wenjin to sit right next to Kieran and then he sat down next to Chi Yinan.
All of these were in the business, political, and financial circles of muddled cities, so he had some understanding of Chi Yinan. Adding to that, he had a very arrogant attitude, it would be hard for him not to see it in the newspapers and magazines, and of course, there were a few people who wanted to see her as a joke. After all, not everyone could be a good daughter-in-law of a Wealthy Class family.
Kieran pulled at her clothes and said in a voice that only two people could hear, “Why did you bring your family’s ancestors along as well?”
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she subconsciously looked at the man sitting straight next to her. “I already said that it’s my ancestors. Who knows what’s wrong with it?”
Kieran was speechless. He looked at Su Wenjin, who had his head lowered, and then at Chi Yinan, who was full of confidence. Finally, he came to a conclusion.
