“Mom, I’m not suffering at all, thank you for bringing me into this world. The best thing that ever happened to me was being born as your daughter. Now that I’ve grown up, I no longer need your protection. I’ll become so strong that no one will ever dare to take advantage of us.”
Mama Lin instantly burst into tears and nodded through her tears. “Okay, Mom shall depend on Shiyu’s protection from now on.”
“Yes!”
Fu Qinglun stood right by the door, he had placed his large hand on the doorknob and his cold gaze landed on Lin Shiyu. This little girl who... promised to toughen up and protect her mother, his heart melted after hearing her words.
He had always known that he was in love with her but he didn’t know to what extent. Now he knew, this girl had full control over his heart and feelings, she could stir up with his feelings whenever she wanted.
In actual fact, she didn’t need to toughen up, that was because he would protect her.
He would do his best to protect her well in the future.
Mama Lin then lifted her head and saw Fu Qinglun, she hurriedly spoke up, “Qinglun, why are you standing by the door, hurry and come in.”
Fu Qinglun didn’t move, he looked at the girl on the bed. He had no idea whether she would allow him in or not.
He was too rash just now in the bathroom, his mother had told him off and physically tormented him, he was aware of his own mistakes.
Seeing that Fu Qinglun wasn’t moving an inch, Mama Lin glanced over at her daughter. “Shi’shi, Qinglun is standing by the door, you should let him in.”
Lin Shiyu let loose of her mother and lay down on the bed, she didn’t bother to give him a glance and said, “Let the Lin family off, if you’re bent on taking revenge, your first target should be yourself.”
“Shi’shi, what nonsense are you spouting!” Mama Lin reprimanded her after hearing her words.
Fu Qinglun stood tall beside the door, his entire body tense. A few seconds later, he cleared his throat before replying, “I’ve got it.”
He shut the door with light movements and returned to the bench along the corridor. His long legs were crossed over each other and he took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, placing one cigarette in his mouth.
He recalled the non-smoking policy in the hospital and frowned before fiddling with the lighter in his hands.
With his imposing figure masked in darkness, he seemed exceptionally lonely.
The next day, Lin Shiyu was discharged from the hospital.
Madam Fu and Mama Lin were packing up stuff in the hospital ward and Lin Shiyu wanted to get up. Madam Fu hurriedly stopped her. “Shiyu, don’t move around recklessly, you’re still in your confinement period. You should wait until Qinglun is done with the paperwork and have him carry you.”
Lin Shiyu, “...”
Madam Fu interlocked her arm with Mama Lin’s. “In-law, you should come home with us and stay for awhile. Shiyu is having her confinement period now and you can use this opportunity to chat with her and keep your mind from boredom.”
“This...” Mama Lin was hesitant.
“Mom.” Lin Shiyu called her.
“Ah!” Madam Fu and Mama Lin answered at the same time.
Their eyes met and they both laughed, Mama Lin responded, “Shiyu, which mother are you calling?”
“Mom.” Lin Shiyu looked at Madam Fu.
Madam Fu was delighted, Shiyu had a cold personality and didn’t have the habit of using honeyed words. However, she was extremely intelligent, she was able to coax everyone well as long as she put her mind into it.
Madam Fu was pleased with her daughter-in-law and asked, “Shiyu, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Mom, I don’t want to spend my confinement period in the Fu family, I want to go home with my mom and stay there.” Lin Shiyu said.
“This...” Madam Fu paused for a moment.
Mama Lin took on a ghastly expression, her married daughter wanted to return home after her miscarriage, this would be confirmation of her separation with Fu Qinglun.
If news of this were to be spread out, it would definitely attract malicious gossip and slandering. The Fu family was an established family in Karghalik, they had maintained a good reputation for decades. How on earth would they allow Lin Shiyu to do such a thing?
“Shi’shi, you’re throwing a tantrum again. How about this, Mom will follow you to the Fu family’s place for a while.” Mama Lin tried to resolve the matter at hand.
“That’s right, Shiyu, in-law will follow us back. Mom is not trying to stop you from returning to your mom’s place to spend your confinement period there, it’s just that we’re all worried about you. You’ve suffered a miscarriage for the Fu family and suffered a blow to your health. If you’re going to return to your mom’s place, I won’t be able to look after you and I’ll be worried...”
Madam Fu was well aware that Shiyu and Qinglun’s relationship had turned sour because of their lost child. If they were to live separately, things would never have a chance to return to normal again. As her mother-in-law, she couldn’t allow such things to happen and she naturally didn’t agree with Shiyu’s plans.
Faced with both mother’s opposition, Lin Shiyu lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes fluttered.
At this moment, the door was pushed opened and Fu Qinglun entered the ward.
“Qinglun, you’re just in time. Shiyu wants to return to her mom’s place for her confinement period. What do you think about her plans?” Madam Fu tried to be fair and asked for Fu Qinglun’s opinion.
