Chapter 443: Chapter 455: This world is indeed crazy enough
"Okay, see you." Leng Yixiu smiled calmly.
The two of them were obviously mortal enemies, and had even thought of ending each other’s lives before. But now, they faced each other calmly and said "see you" with a smile.
This world is truly crazy.
Leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department, Lin Yixun got into the elevator and headed straight to the first floor. Her steps became faster and faster, just wanting to leave this place, leave the place where Ouyang Hao was.
She walked so fast that Leng Yixiu worried about her body giving out, and he couldn’t help but step forward to grab her hand, "Lin Yixun, slow down."
As soon as his hand touched Lin Yixun’s wrist, she forcefully shook him off, "Don’t touch me!"
Actually, over the past few months, her mindset had gradually become much more peaceful. But as soon as she saw Ouyang Hao, those painful memories erupted from the depths of her mind again.
She could have been with the person she loved; her mother could have lived well in this world; in a few months, her father could have been released from prison; her life could have started anew. But all of this turned to dust because of Leng Yixiu.
Lin Yixun suddenly stopped in her tracks, glaring fiercely at Leng Yixiu, tears uncontrollably streaming from her eyes, "Leng Yixiu, you ruined me, you ruined everything I had, do you know that?!"
Her tears deeply pained the man, and her sorrow, despair, and helplessness were clearly written on her face. The man’s fingers trembled uncontrollably, his mouth opened, but he couldn’t find any reason to defend himself.
She was right; he did ruin her.
"Lin Yixun..." The man dejectedly lowered his arms, deeply gazed at Lin Yixun’s face, and said softly, "I’m sorry... In the future, I will make up to you and the child."
The tragedy of Lin’s mother and Father Lin was something he could never make up for, and he also could not repair her love with Ouyang Hao. He couldn’t change the past, but he could only ensure the future. He would use his life to love Lin Yixun and their child.
"The child..." Lin Yixun lowered her gaze to her slightly bulging belly, tears falling onto the cold floor, feeling an immense bitterness.
She couldn’t forget her hatred, but she also couldn’t bring herself to harm this child.
Lin Yixun, oh Lin Yixun, why have you made your life so miserable!
...
Since her encounter with Ouyang Hao at Shengde Hospital, Lin Yixun’s relationship with Leng Yixiu reverted back to square one. As long as Leng Yixiu was somewhere, she wouldn’t go. She moved to the guest room, no longer sharing a room with Leng Yixiu. She even had Sister Yi accompany her for prenatal checkups, not letting Leng Yixiu be involved in anything regarding her and the child.
Sister Yi saw all this, feeling anxious and heartache for Leng Yixiu. But Leng Yixiu said nothing; as long as it was Lin Yixun’s request, he would find a way to fulfill it. His indulgence towards Lin Yixun almost knew no bounds.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, two more months had gone by. Lin Yixun’s body had become somewhat heavy, and the frequency of her nightly trips to the bathroom had increased.
That day, Leng Yixiu came back from work and saw Lin Yixun lying on the sofa, seemingly asleep. The man unconsciously lightened his steps, carefully came to the sofa, and pulled a towel from the side to cover her.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, his gaze inadvertently fell on Lin Yixun’s swollen ankles. In the past few months, he had read quite a few books on pregnancy, knowing that many women experienced leg swelling in the later stages.
A look of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but squat down and extend his hand. He’d heard that massages could alleviate swelling; Leng Yixiu didn’t know if it would work, but he decided to try.
Even though his movements were light, he still woke Lin Yixun from her slumber. She thought it was Sister Yi and didn’t open her eyes; Sister Yi had been massaging her legs and feet from time to time these days.
But gradually, she noticed that the touch today felt different. Before, she would ask Sister Yi to apply more pressure, which felt more comfortable. Why was it so gentle today?
Lin Yixun slowly opened her eyes, her vision gradually focusing. When she saw it was Leng Yixiu massaging her, she couldn’t help but be shocked, and her expression turned cold.
She tried to pull her leg back, but the man’s large hand firmly held it in place. Lin Yixun didn’t dare to use force, fearing it might hurt the child, so she could only glare coldly at Leng Yixiu, waiting for him to let go voluntarily.
"Your feet are swollen."
"Let go of me!"
"Massages can relieve the swelling."
"Sister Yi can do it."
"She’s out buying groceries, not here."
"Then wait till she comes back." Lin Yixun paused, then said frankly, "I just don’t want you to do it, okay?"
The man saw Lin Yixun’s resistance and sighed softly before releasing her. He knew Lin Yixun didn’t want to see him, so he didn’t linger in the living room and went straight to the study.
Recently, the board members had been restless, frequently scheming behind the scenes. Leng Yixiu acted indifferent, but he had already planned his countermeasures. He watched their antics coldly, waiting for the right moment to uproot those disloyal ones.
In the business world, Leng Yixiu was known for his iron-fisted tactics, never sparing those who betrayed him. No matter how ruthless he was in other matters, no matter how decisive he was, he was always the weakest when it came to Lin Yixun.
As time went by, Lin Yixun’s due date got closer. The expected delivery was in June, and as it neared, Lin Yixun’s heart grew softer. She eagerly awaited the arrival of the child, even a bit impatient to see the baby’s face.
People said that newborns were often wrinkled and ugly. But she wasn’t worried because no matter how the baby looked, it would always be her flesh and blood. Moreover, the Lin Family’s genes were quite good; her grandparents were once dashing young figures.
She believed her child wouldn’t turn out badly.
To welcome the baby, Leng Yixiu had also done a lot of homework. Although Lin Yixun and he had been in a cold war these months, it didn’t dim his enthusiasm for the child.
He turned the guest room next to the master bedroom into a nursery, preparing everything before the baby’s arrival.
Baby crib, baby mosquito net, bathtub, tiny washbasin, seahorse toys...
Everything the baby might need was there. And every single item in the nursery was personally selected by Leng Yixiu.
However, while both Lin Yixun and Leng Yixiu looked forward to the arrival of this little life, they were unaware that a pair of eyes was constantly watching them, its owner waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Yixun.
