Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C53

Every year, Su Wenjin would become silent for no other reason, because today was the day of her mother’s death. For the past three years, Chi Yinan would always accompany her, but this year, she rejected it.

Chi Yinan sat in the car and watched her figure disappear from his line of sight. He wanted to light a cigarette and realized that he had quit for a long time.

The path up the mountain wasn’t long. She walked up with the flowers in her hands, and with every step she took, she got closer to her mother. Although she had been gone for three years, she still felt that she was still alive, and that she could act like a child and coquettishly wrap around her mother and make glutinous rice balls.

The leaves on both sides of the path were withered and yellow, and only the end of the path was dazzling in red. The maple leaves were showing off at the end of the season, and around the maple tree in front of them was the mother’s tombstone.

In front of the tombstone, there was a bunch of bright daisies. She did not know who sent them, but she was sure that it was definitely not Su Xiao Yun, that man was too heartless, cold-blooded, and was even unwilling to meet her before she died in exchange for forced marriages. She would rather not have such a father, but in front of her mother’s bed, she did not dare to say anything bad about him, because her mother had long put all of her dignity into that marriage.

As usual, she put the flowers in a vase, took a duster and cleaned up the gravestone before pulling out some weeds around it. After doing all this, she sat in front of the gravestone and touched the black-and-white photo on it.

After a long while, her tears finally came out of her eyes and fell down. Su Wenjin sobbed as she called out, “Mama!” The two words trembled so much that she was almost crying in front of the tombstone. Chi Yinan could not take it anymore and went up to help her up against his shoulder, patting her back repeatedly.

“Warm Jin, it’s over. It’s all in the past now.” He had originally planned to wait for her in the car, but in the end he still couldn’t stop worrying, “Wan-jin, it’s all over. Mom doesn’t want you to be so sad.”

She leaned on his shoulder. She still had too much to say to her mother, so she swallowed her words. Chi Yinan’s gaze fell on the young daisy sitting in front of the tombstone. He pulled her up and wiped away the tears on her face.

“Let’s go.”

As she was being escorted down the mountain, she couldn’t help but turn around. The end of her vision was blurry, and she could only see the figure of a man. She didn’t say anything as she closed her eyes and turned to follow him down the mountain.

She was not in a good mood when she returned from the cemetery that day. She didn’t go to Lu Ziruo to treat her to a meal, but instead went alone with Chi Yinan. It was a miracle that she didn’t smell like alcohol when he returned in the evening, so he pressed her against the wall and kissed her hard while he was taking off his clothes.

The day Su Xiao Yun asked them to go back for dinner, she had been shopping with Kieran. When she received Chi Yinan’s call, she did not want to go at all. She had mumbled that she wanted to go shopping with Kieran, but he had just told her that he was going to buy the shop and she had bragged about it.

Kieran had called his boyfriend over to pick him up. She had wanted to see him, but Chi Yinan had arrived too quickly. Not long after they had arrived, his car had stopped by the side of the road.

“It’s just a meal. I’ll be back after eating.” After getting on the car, Chi Yinan touched her hair to coax her. He was really coaxing her. At the same time, he discovered that she was enjoying herself quite a bit. She glanced at him and said, “He’s looking for us to eat, it’s definitely not a good thing.” According to the usual practice, Su Xiao Yun only let them go back to dinner when they had something to do. He could not help but think back to the incident where Jiang Yuemei said that Lin Jingsheng had secretly made things difficult for him.

“Is it really my father-in-law, Wen Jin?”

In truth, she had never understood Chi Yi Nan’s attitude towards Su Xiao Yun. According to his personality, he would definitely not put Su Xiao Yun in his eyes.

When he returned to the Su Family again, Su Xiao Yun was still waiting at the entrance. He had a fawning look on his face, but Chi Yi Nan was pulling him along like nothing had happened, even bringing gifts, giving Su Xiao Yun face. Not only that, Chi Yi Nan had given him a lot of face in the past few years, and with Chi Yi Nan’s reputation, he had even earned a lot.

“Is the journey smooth?” There’s no traffic jam, right? ” Su Xiao Yun took the gift from Chi Yi Nan and passed it to a servant to guide them into the house.

“There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way here. Luckily, Wen Jin said that we could get there by the other way, so we got there a lot faster.”

“Blame me for not telling you in advance that there was a car accident at the overpass in front of us this morning. It’s still blocked up till now.”

When she saw that Su Xiao Yun’s gaze was locked onto their hands, the smile on her face became even wider. She broke away from his hand and wanted to go upstairs to see Su Zi Panpan, but Jiang Yuemei, who came out of the kitchen, told her that Zi Xin was not at home, and in school, it was Tuesday. Zi Xin wanted to go to school, but the only person in the family who could speak a few words was not here, so she didn’t go upstairs.

Not long after they sat down, Jiang Yuemei came out of the kitchen to talk about food, and they moved to the dining room. Su Xiao Yun and Chi Yinan had been chatting about work the entire time, leaving her alone with Jiang Yuemei.

The rice in the bowl was japonica. She especially liked adding some glutinous rice to the bowl when Auntie Xue was stuffy. It was fragrant, sticky and very tasty, but people with bad stomachs shouldn’t eat it like that. It was hard to digest, but Chi Yinan didn’t like eating it, saying it was too sticky.

“Wan-Jin, what are you thinking about? Dad said you should eat more fish.”

Chi Yinan’s words interrupted her thoughts, she only saw him put the plate of steamed bass fish in front of her, he would not eat it, because the fish belly was sprinkled with green onions, she originally did not plan to eat it, but suddenly she saw Su Xiao Yun’s look of anticipation, she had accidentally caught a piece of the fish belly, the steamed bass that had just come out of the wok, it tasted very fresh and tender, she bit on it, felt uncomfortable in her stomach, wanted to vomit, but felt that it was not very elegant, she swallowed it forcefully, her stomach rolled. She quickly covered her mouth with her chopsticks and ran into the bathroom.

Emma, at last, it’s not easy

Chi Yinan’s face darkened. He put down his chopsticks and chased after Su Xiao Yun. Jiang Yue Mei’s expression was uncertain as she exchanged a glance with Su Xiao Yun.

Chi Yinan was locked outside the washroom. She vomited all the food she had just eaten. Hearing the knocking sounds coming from outside, her stomach started rolling again. She was vomiting until she was very tired.

Chi Yinan really wanted to kick the door open when he opened it. Su Wenjin came out with a pale face, water droplets still on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes filled with tears.

“What’s wrong? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?”

She glanced at him and thought he was slow enough, but it was hard to say. She hadn’t gone to the hospital yet, and it was only her guess, so she patted his hand.

Chi Yinan led her back to the dining room, where he saw that the bass had left the room. Su Xiao Yun smiled as he pushed the light dishes to her and said, “Wan-jin, if you’re pregnant, don’t say a word. I’ll get the kitchen to prepare a pregnant woman’s meal.”

Su Xiao Yun’s words were like a huge rock that was thrown into the water, causing water to splash all over his body. The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, then Chi Yinan suddenly reacted, pulling her hand and asked, “Is it true?”

She frowned. She was not happy with what Su Xiao Yun had said. Seeing how happy Chi Yinan was, she thought for a while, then whispered something in his ear.

“Alright, let’s go to the hospital later.”

Chi Yinan held her hand, he had been careless all this time. The child had come without him knowing, although he had not been confirmed by the doctor, but now that he thought about it, Su Wenjin was really pregnant. He was going to be a father soon, it was not in vain for his hard work these days.

Su Xiao Yun enjoyed his meal, and Chi Yi Nan was also enjoying his meal. After dinner, they talked in the study room for a while, and from Su Xiao Yun’s expression, it seemed that he had gotten some benefits from Chi Yi Nan.

Chi Yinan stared unhappily at her high heels. Afterwards, Jiang Yuemei took out a pair of flat shoes from the house, which were her old shoes. He squatted down in front of Su Xiao Yun and Jiang Yuemei to help her change her shoes.

Yi Nan stretched out his hand from under her clothes and caressed her flat stomach. He was so happy that his eyebrows rose. She slapped his hand away and asked sternly: “How much did you promise Su Xiao Yun?”

“Warm Jin, let me touch your son.”

Chi Yinan avoided her question. His big hand touched her lower abdomen without restraint. Then, he touched the hair scattered by her ear and retracted his hand: “Let’s go to the hospital now.”

Jiang Wenxin stood at the entrance of the hospital and greeted Mrs. Chi. He had just finished his surgery at noon and was preparing to go back to sleep when a call came in from Chi Yinan, telling him to be on standby at the hospital.

“I say, Chi Yinan, where are you and Mrs. Chi?”

“Jiang Wenxin, it’s me, Su Wenjin. We’ll be there right away.”

She stood on the sidewalk in front of the hospital. Chi Yinan went to the bakery across the street to buy her some bread, spitting out all the luncheon food. She was a little hungry now.

“Which one do you want to eat?” Chi Yinan took one of each kind of bread, opened a big bag for her to pick out. She turned it over and picked one of the triangles, tore it open and ate a few mouthfuls, the taste wasn’t bad, it was salty, Jiang Wenxin was drowsy while leaning against the pillar at the entrance of the hospital, and he waited for close to ten minutes before he saw them, Su Wenjin nibbling on the bread contentedly, the two of them seemed to be taking a walk.

“Sister-in-law’s face is rosy. It smells good, what’s going on?”

Jiang Wenxin jumped down the stairs and examined Su Wenjin from head to toe. He concluded that she wasn’t hurt at all. Chi Yinan took the bread that she refused to eat and pushed Jiang Wenxin away, “Go to gynecology.”

“Gynecology?” Jiang Wen looked at Su Wenjin with a change in his expression. He rubbed his chin and asked, “Is there one?”

Chi Yinan’s face was full of joy. He didn’t give her an answer and he had already guessed it. He looked at Su Wenjin who was smiling, and now, he really couldn’t afford to offend her.

“Aiyo, sister-in-law, be careful of the stairs!”

She said “thank you” with a fake smile. The gynecologist was in the last building, and due to Jiang Wen’s new arrangements, her inspection speed was very fast. Actually, she was a bit nervous, but she didn’t tell Chi Yinan that he had accompanied her throughout the entire examination.

She was never sure, but she had never been here for more than two months. With her recent change in taste, the results were very clear.

“Wan-Jin, are you hungry?” The bread bag Chi Yinan was carrying was now in Jiang Wenxin’s hands. He looked at the couple with extreme displeasure, as if they were servants!

“The results of the inspection are out. You can go in.”

The rarely seen smile on his face had always been on his face. He was looking forward to the arrival of this child, and not only him, the old man and the old lady were also looking forward to it, even Su Xiao Yun was looking forward to it. With this child, her position in the family would be even more stable, and he would benefit a lot.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Wenxin had already left. Their car was parked opposite to each other, and Chi Yinan was holding her hand as they crossed the road. She looked at the crowd that was coming and going, with one hand on her lower abdomen.

“Chi Yinan, do you like children?”

After getting on the car, she suddenly asked him. Chi Yinan was reversing the car and replied seriously, “I don’t like it.” After the car had backed out, he said, “But I like the child in your belly.” During his marriage with Su Wenjin, Chi Yinan found himself sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss. She was still hesitating because the arrival of this child was the perfect opportunity for them to be related by blood.

“Don’t think too much. I’ll send you back to rest.”

After Chi Yinan sent her back to the company, he did not go to the office. He covered her with a blanket, then sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes glowing without the slightest intention of leaving, she was made uncomfortable by his gaze, even when her eyes were closed she could feel his scorching gaze. How could she sleep like that, he threw the pillow beside her and said, “Chi Yinan, you can’t fall asleep while looking at me.”

“Fine, I won’t look at you. Sleep. When you wake up, have some pregnant women’s food.” He had already instructed Auntie Xue to prepare some dishes. “Warm Jin, close your eyes.”

Chi Yinan gave her an order and tucked her in before he left. He didn’t guess wrongly that he had gone to announce the good news to Jingyuan.
