Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C58
Chi Yinan’s phone call came in at this moment, asking her why she had suddenly returned to the Su family. She tried her best to hold in her sobs so that he would not be able to hear her sobs, and her voice was choked with emotion as she raised her head with all her might to look at the chandelier on the ceiling: “It’s okay, I just came to look for Zi Panpan, I’ll be back in a bit.” She couldn’t seem to think of any other reason to come here, except in the name of hope.
“Mm, I should head back earlier. I’ll head back earlier as well in the evening.”
Chi Yinan hung up very quickly after saying a few words. Listening to the busy beep from the receiver, she dried her tears and put all the envelopes back, then left as if nothing had happened, her steps revealing her mood. When she got in the car, she just happened to see Su Xiao Yun’s car coming in from the main entrance.
Now that things had developed to this point, it was difficult for him to avoid the old situation. He hid the envelope and forced her to marry Chi Yinan and even forced her mother to her death.
He went back to find a hot towel and applied it for a while. Finally, he did not find anything strange, and when he looked at the slightly haggard woman in the mirror, she tried to force out a smile. After repeated practice, she found that her smile was even uglier than her cry.
At this time, Auntie Xue pushed the door open and came in. She said that Chi Yinan was back, answered him, patted her face, and went downstairs in her slippers.
In the living room, Chi Yinan was lying on the sofa. His suit jacket had been torn apart, and his shirt’s collar seemed slightly open. When he walked closer and smelled the alcohol on his body, he thought he must be drinking.
Her pitch-black eyes were tightly shut, and her brows were knitted tightly, as if she was feeling uncomfortable. Just as she approached and wanted to take off half of the suit he wore, her hot and hurried breathing slowly calmed down, and the color in her eyes gradually became clear as well. She narrowed her eyes and hugged her in her embrace, only lowering her head to kiss the top of her head.
“I heard from the driver that you went to the baby shop today.”
“Yeah, I bought something.” She hid in his embrace and told him the truth. She didn’t know if the driver told him about her meeting with Lin Jingsheng, but if he did, she could only try to cover it up.
“What did you buy? Show it to me. ”
“It’s just some children’s stuff.”
After she said this, Chi Yinan pinched her face with his neither heavy nor light strength, and moved his big hand to her lower abdomen. In these two months, her lower abdomen did not bulge, but Chi Yinan seemed to like touching that place.
I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still two more, nine Qing to go to relatives first to eat bird ~
“Warm Jin, tell me that you look forward to this child as much as I do.”
He was always tough and overbearing, yet he showed her his weak side. His tone was still tough, but his expression was almost awkward, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally, he closed his eyes and buried his face in her shoulder sockets, as if he was exceptionally tired. She reached out her hand to push him, wanting him to go upstairs to rest.
She was at a loss for words. After a while, she struggled free, “Chi Yinan, there is no mother who doesn’t love her child. I am no exception.” This was the answer she had given him, as well as the answer she had given herself. She needed time to digest the many things that had happened today.
“En, very good. Warm Jin, I hope you remember what you said today.”
She did not understand what was wrong with Chi Yinan today. He looked at her handsome face and before she could say anything, he had already stood up and carried her in his arms, walking towards the stairs.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, Chi Yinan was not by her side. The empty bed looked desolate under the moonlight, so she wrapped herself up tightly in the blanket and pretended to be asleep. After a while, the bed sank down, and Chi Yinan came back with a faint smell of smoke lingering on the tip of his nose.
The next day, she called her mother-in-law, Gu Huiru, and was told that everything was fine and that she should pay attention to her body. She thought that perhaps she was being sensitive, or perhaps it was just a matter of work for Chi Yinan, but she couldn’t say for sure.
After that day, she saw Lin Jingsheng’s current newspaper for several days. Chi Yinan did not hide his face after reading the morning newspaper, but rather seemed to have deliberately spread it out on the table for her to see. She did not hide her true feelings and openly read, and found out about some of his recent developments, such as the recent policies of Su’s International, which fields he had entered, who he worked with, the praise from the industry, the fact that there was a side face in the newspaper, an unswerving smile, and not a single trace of gentleness.
“Warm Jin, dad told us to go back to eat dinner tonight. I’ll come back to pick you up after the meeting in the afternoon.”
“How about I have the chauffeur take me there directly?”
“No need, let’s go together.”
Without drinking the milk in the cup, he went upstairs to change his clothes. She tied his tie and walked him to the door, where he kissed her lips and smiled as he went to work. She returned to the table and stared at the handsome side of his face.
She panicked in her heart, and even lost sleep in the middle of the night. She discovered that she had entered a dead end, walking forward, unable to walk, walking backwards, unable to go back, she could only stay where she was, like a helpless child. Lin Jingsheng’s phone would be calling her two days ago, but now she stopped calling.
Folding the newspaper so Auntie Xue could take it down, she went upstairs and passed a room that had once been a storage room but had now been converted into a nursery by Chi Yinan, the pink walls, the wind chimes ringing in the windows, and the small blue bed in the middle of the room, the baby cart in the corner, and the toys scattered in the cupboard. All of this looked exceptionally vivid and real, and she did not deny that she liked living like this, and slowly began to accept the current Yinan, gentle like a husband.
When she saw them return, she only smiled and told her to sit over and hold her hand while they talked. Her father-in-law was upstairs in the study, and it was said that he was talking to the old man, so Chi Yinan had entered the kitchen, and when he came out, he carried a piece of oatmeal with him.
“I made the kitchen cook it when it was still hot. I don’t think we’ll be able to eat until later.”
She noticed the look on her mother-in-law’s face and understood something. She had clearly already gathered at the house, yet she said that she knew how to eat and who she was waiting for. She was suspicious and looked into Chi Yinan’s dark eyes, hesitating to speak.
After a long while, Eunuch Chi, Chi Xianan, helped the old man down the stairs. Grandma Gu Huiru gave him a faint glance, then retracted her gaze and continued to talk to her. When the dishes on the table were almost done, and she heard the low sound of an engine outside the house, she nervously looked at Chi Yinan, only to discover that he had already walked up to her side at some point, pulled her into his arms, and then led her to stand up.
Lin Jingsheng appeared in their line of sight without any forewarning. With a firm step, a slight smile appeared on his well-defined face, as well as a vague meaning. Aside from her, it seemed that they were all calmly watching him walk in, then stopped in front of the old man with gifts in their hands.
“You’ve worked hard on the way here, come and eat.”
The old man and the old man were sitting on opposite sides of a long table. She and Chi Yinan were sitting opposite of her mother-in-law, Gu Huiru, and Lin Jingsheng. As long as she raised her head, she could see him.
She was not the only one poking at the rice in the bowl, it was the same for her mother, Gu Huiru and Chi Yinan. After tasting it, they put down their chopsticks, this was not like a family feast, but more like a cruel battlefield, everyone kept quiet, waiting for the other party to reveal a flaw and destroy them in one go. Perhaps the atmosphere at the table was too depressing, but Elder Chi Yinan opened his mouth and said: “Jing Sheng, eat more, this is the first time you’ve come, don’t know if it suits your taste?”
“Commissar Chi is too courteous, it’s very palatable.” He was polite, polite, and distant. This Lin Jingsheng was the one she knew.
Chi Xiong Tian did not care about that “commissar Chi” and continued: “Yi Nan, this is your big brother. You youngsters should have more to say.”
His face became even paler, as if he was about to fall down at any moment. The sound he made made made the atmosphere abruptly sink again, pressing down on her so heavily that she couldn’t even breathe, and she subconsciously pulled on Chi Yinan’s sleeve. His large hand wrapped around her small hand, and his index finger slowly traced along her joints.
Let’s come back tomorrow ~
“Dad, I remember mom only gave birth to me, where did this big brother come from?” Chi Yinan’s every word was sonorous and forceful, smashing onto the eardrums of everyone present. His mother-in-law Gu Huiru’s complexion improved a little, the tears in her eyes, pushing the bowl far away.
“Yi Nan.” The eunuch called out his name again. His voice was deep and deep, obviously filled with anger.
“Good heavens, this home needs time to digest.” The old man’s voice suppressed the eunuch’s voice, then he sighed and said to his mother-in-law, “Hui Ru, I’ve wronged you.”
Lin Jingsheng watched everyone’s expressions coldly. The matter had developed to this point, it was his plan. He didn’t plan to tell them the truth, but unfortunately, the situation developed as expected.
“Let’s all eat, if you have anything to say let’s talk after that.”
As the old man spoke, everyone continued to eat their meals. This was the most difficult meal she had ever had to swallow. After dinner, everyone moved to the living room. The real war was about to begin.
He got up from the sofa and acted as if everything was in his hands, “Actually, I don’t plan to go back to my ancestors. In my entire life, I, Lin Jingsheng, have been surnamed Lin. Committee Leader Chi, thank you for your hospitality tonight.”
His words were like a slap on the face of his father-in-law, Chi Xiong Tian. His face changed a few times and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
“Hui Ru, Yi Nan, I hope you can accept Jing Sheng. Her mother passed away a few years ago. No matter what, as a father, I should take responsibility for my blood ties.”
She nestled into Chi Yinan’s arms, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat. She wanted to comfort her mother-in-law, but she didn’t know where to start. Lin Jingsheng was a year older than Chi Yinan, a man had promised your future, but you couldn’t erase his past.
When she thought about getting up, Chi Yinan had already entered the bathroom, and she immediately covered her chest with a white towel. She was a bit annoyed that he had come in without a call, but she was also a bit embarrassed and wanted to get him out, so he rolled up his sleeves and squatted in front of the bathtub, took her hand in one hand and moved it across her face, and finally stopped on her thin lips. The warmth of his thumb merged with the warmth of her lips, and at this moment, she discovered that her heart was beating faster, and her heart, which she couldn’t control, was sucked into his eyes like a deep pool.
Chi Yinan blinked his eyes, leaned over and kissed her face, which was covered in foam. His eyes were shining: “Warm Jin, I won’t have an illegitimate child. Don’t worry.”
He was giving her a guarantee, giving her a peace of mind. She didn’t know why, but at this moment, he was thinking about Xu Bing and her last visit to the hospital. Perhaps it was because his gaze was too passionate, a side she had never seen before that made her feel uneasy and uneasy.
