Su Yuxi walked into the villa. The clothes on her body were all wet and stuck to her body. She didn't even bother to change and ran directly into Xiaobao's bedroom.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao..." She kept murmuring. Xiaobao belongs to her alone. No one can take away her child! No one can harm Xiaobao!
"Good boy, Xiaobao is here. No one else can take her away." Xiao Lingchen held her hand tightly, his expression indifferent, showing no trace of happiness or anger.
"Ling Chen, Ling Chen, you are finally back, you are finally back, you must protect Xiaobao, you must protect him, please, please." Su Yuxi was extremely scared, Xiaobao
He is the person she loves most in the world, and she doesn't want him to get hurt.
Xiao Lingchen said nothing and held her in his arms, his expression softening a little. He knew some things, but he would not say them out loud.
It was raining heavily outside, and there were tiny raindrops on the floor-to-ceiling windows. Xiao Lingchen helped Su Yuxi back to the room.
Perhaps because of the rain, Su Yuxi developed a high fever at night. The fever did not go away, and she had nightmares one after another.
She dreamed of a vicious woman holding a needle in her hand and inserting it into her arm. Then she dreamed of another young woman pushing her off a cliff and asking her to pay for it.
The past events came one after another, and she woke up suddenly, with a roar in her head. When she woke up, big beads of sweat were pouring from her forehead, and she kept breathing. The pillow beside her was cold, and Xiao Lingchen was not there.
She seemed to remember something, familiar yet unfamiliar...
Su Yuxi calmed down for a while, then slowly walked out of bed. The light in the study room was still on, and Xiao Lingchen was still working on his work. He seemed to have endless work to do.
Su Yuxi went downstairs and poured him a glass of water.
Xiao Lingchen turned around, looked at her quietly, and asked, "Why don't you sleep?"
Su Yuxi shook her head: "I can't sleep."
Xiao Lingchen didn't answer, and he couldn't sleep. When he went back to the bedroom, he happened to hear Su Yuxi calling that person's name in his dream. Her name was Pei Mubai.
Pei Mubai...
He is also an emotional man. He can't stand his woman calling other men's names in her sleep. He can't stand his woman being coveted by other men.
"Good boy, go to bed first. I still have some work to deal with." Xiao Lingchen coughed lightly.
Su Yuxi frowned and subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead. His forehead was very hot, as if he had a fever.
"Ling Chen, it's so late, let's get some rest." Su Yuxi felt sorry for him. He had been alone for so many years and seemed to have no feelings for anyone. How did he get through this?
"It's okay, you go to sleep first." Xiao Lingchen continued to type on the keyboard.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Su Yuxi walked back to the bedroom, found antipyretic medicine, returned and handed it to him.
Xiao Lingchen glanced at it but didn't answer.
"Take medicine, you have a fever." Su Yuxi handed him the medicine and water cup.
Xiao Lingchen squinted his eyes, his eyes dark and dark.
Every time Xiao Lingchen looked at her like this, Su Yuxi couldn't help but feel guilty.
She looked away, but Xiao Lingchen did not allow her to escape. He pulled her and Su Yuxi fell into her arms. She struggled to get up, but Xiao Lingchen held her down and prevented her from moving.
The two looked at each other, Su Yuxi's eyes were red, and he was about to make her cry.
Xiao Lingchen pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head, asking in a questioning tone: "When Pei Mubai was sick in the past, did you coax him like this?"
Su Yuxi: "..."
Is Xiao Lingchen jealous? Does Xiao Lingchen also know about her past with Pei Mubai?
Such topics always come to nothing in the end.
Xiao Lingchen let her go, and Su Yuxi walked out of the study. As soon as she reached the door of the study, she heard Xiao Lingchen say: "Don't use your tricks to please Pei Mubai on me."
This sentence was so hurtful that Su Yuxi said nothing and walked out.
She just cares about him instinctively. Since he doesn't need it, she won't be sentimental in the future.
As soon as Su Yuxi walked out, Xiao Lingchen coughed violently. Thinking of something, he became even more angry and coughed violently.
The bedroom door was closed, but Su Yuxi heard nothing and had no sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Su Yuxi received a call from the Xiao family, saying that the old man was sick and asked them to go back.
Last night, she and Xiao Lingchen were still unhappy. She didn't dare to ask Xiao Lingchen's opinion and planned to take Xiaobao back by herself. When she went downstairs, Xiao Lingchen had already gone out, and she didn't want to disturb him.
After calling to ask for leave, she took Xiaobao back to Xiao's house.
The old man was fine, he just contracted the cold. As soon as Su Yuxi returned to Xiao's house, the old man called him into the study.
"Xixi, grandpa came back to you today because he has something to tell you." The old man said with a serious face.
Su Yuxi's heart suddenly became nervous. Xiao Lingchen's grandfather usually wouldn't come to see her. If he asked her to come here today, he must have something important to tell her.
"Grandpa, you are still sick now. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day."
The old man shook his head: "There are some things that I have wanted to say for a long time. Xiaobao is not Ling Chen's child, right?"
The corners of Su Yuxi's mouth moved, but she could not speak, and her eyes were red.
The old man did not continue this topic. If Su Yuxi's child is not Xiao Lingchen's, who could it be?
"Xi Xi, grandpa will not live long. The Xiao family will still count on you and Ling Chen in the future. Although Xiaobao is not Ling Chen's child, we have always treated him as a child of the Xiao family. You don't have to worry about this.
"
Su Yuxi bit her lip and said nothing.
All along, what she cared about most was the Xiao family's attitude towards Xiaobao. Every time she took Xiaobao home, she was cautious, fearing that something would happen to Xiaobao and make them unhappy.
"Xixi, starting from tomorrow, you and Ling Chen will move back in," the old man said.
"No, grandpa, we're used to living there. The little guy is naughty and grandpa needs to rest, so it's better not to leave."
Su Yuxi immediately refused. The relationship between the Xiao family was much more complicated than she imagined.
"Why, do you really have the heart to let me, an old man, die alone? My time is running out." The old man coughed after finishing speaking.
Su Yuxi was very confused. Of course it was okay for her to be alone, but she still had Xiaobao with her, and she didn't want Xiaobao to be harmed.
"Grandpa, I will discuss this issue with Ling Chen. If Ling Chen agrees, we will move here." Su Yuxi moved out of Xiao Lingchen.
Xiao Lingchen would definitely not agree.
The old man sighed and said nothing more.
Su Yuxi didn't want to stay because the relationship between the Xiao family was indeed very complicated.
In the room downstairs at this time, the whole family had their own secrets. The old man's health has been getting worse lately, and I don't know how he arranged it. It must not be a good thing for him to call Su Yuxi back at this time. Su Yuxi is like
