"Okay, I'll stay at your place."

Before Yu Lian could fully react, He Lin had already started walking out.

She was given no chance to react.

"No, my place is a mess. Besides, you need to be hospitalized now. We can talk about it after you've recovered."

He Lin raised an eyebrow, knowing exactly what was going on.

"Oh, I see. You've reminded me. Where's Chen Shu?"

He looked towards the door and waved to Chen Shu, "Go ask Xue Zhi whether it's better for me to recuperate at home with regular checkups, or to stay in this cramped hospital room doing nothing."

Clearly, Chen Shu had already gotten the answer from the boss's description, but since the boss's wife was around, he still had to pretend to make a phone call.

Chen Shu found a place nearby where he could make a phone call and jogged back.

"Dr. Xue said, 'Boss, if you feel uncomfortable in the ward, try to rest at home, take your medication on time, and see a psychologist as scheduled.'"

Throughout the conversation, Chen Shu kept glancing at the proprietress.

"I see. What do you think?"

Yu Lian: Do I even have a chance?

"OK."

However, given He Lin's pickiness at the hospital, he would probably not be used to going to his home, so we'll just send him home.

"I'll have someone pack your luggage right away."

Acting on impulse, Yu Lian walked out of the registration office feeling dizzy and overwhelmed by the endless stream of troubles.

"Aunt Wenxue, you're hurting me."

She struggled to break free, her face showing a pained expression.

The two stood by the car not far away, and until just now Wen Xue still couldn't believe it.

How could someone like He Lin bow down again for a woman who had hurt and deceived him?

According to the education she received from childhood, He Lin's behavior was tantamount to slow suicide.

It is a sign of being unclear-headed and irrational.

It shattered her preconceived notions.

"Manman, don't be afraid. Although your mother doesn't like you, Aunt Wenxue will always like you. Now that your mother is back, we'll see each other less often. If you're sad or upset, you can come to Aunt Wenxue's house to see me, okay?"

He Ningxi rubbed her reddened wrist. "Aunt Wenxue, you haven't apologized to me yet?"

Wen Xue paused, intending to say a few more words to her before leaving.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't notice you. Can you forgive me?"

He Ningxi wasn't a stingy person, so she immediately nodded and added a condition, "Then, Aunt Wenxue, can I go eat lots of delicious food with you later?"

Wen Xue looked at Yu Lian in the distance and had an idea. "Auntie wants to take you, but your mother won't allow it. Have you forgotten that your father and mother have made up now? From now on, your mother will be in charge of you and your brothers, just like she was at school. You definitely won't be able to eat anything good anymore."

For a child who loves to eat all kinds of delicious food, candy, and snacks, this is like the sky falling down.

"Aunt Wenxue, I don't want you to leave. I don't want a bad mom. Please be my mom. I'll tell Dad right now."

Wen Xue quickly pulled the child back. If she said anything now, it would only cause trouble for her. "Manman, you can't do this. It will make your mother sad. You can do this..."

"Okay, Aunt Wen, I'll remember. If I want to eat it, I'll sneak over to you."

Wen Xue nodded and made a pinky promise with the little girl in front of her.

Then he gently nudged her back to her brother's side.

Wen Xue knew more or less about the He family's children.

"If the child were lost because of you, would the He family still protect you unconditionally?"

……

After a day of fussing, the group finally followed Yu Lian back to where she was staying.

Li Ying was visiting for the first time, and seeing that Yu Lian didn't seem to have suffered, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lianlian, what happened to that bad person? How is she now? If it weren't for her, our family wouldn't have suffered so much."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to cry again, Yu Lian quickly stepped forward and said, "Mom, she got her just desserts. She's lying unconscious in a hospital bed now."

"Really? That's wonderful! How could there be such a vicious person? But what about your father? I haven't seen him for days. Is he alright?"

"Um... my dad feels bad for you, so he doesn't dare to come for the time being."

Li Ying was quite angry when she talked about this. If her daughter-in-law's father hadn't raised a tiger that would have caused trouble, they wouldn't have had to break up due to the policies at the time.

No one can override national policies, and the daughter-in-law must have made that decision out of desperation for that reason.

"Lianlian, you can't do this again. You have to talk about things. You can't bear it all alone. We are a family."

"Yes, Mom won't do it again."

Yu Lian didn't think that much at the time. First, she didn't want to implicate her family, and second, she wanted to save her father's life.

But little did he expect that he would dig a hole for himself, and this separation would last for five years.

If I hadn't unexpectedly run into my son while out, I don't know when I would have been able to see them again.

After having dinner together, Li Ying and He Xinglan said they had to leave.

"By the way, from now on you guys will live here, and your dad, Lanlan, and I will still live over there. We can bring the kids back to stay for a couple of days on weekends for a meal, is that alright?"

"Of course, Mom, I'll take you."

Yu Lian, still uneasy, pulled He Xinglan aside and whispered, "Are the people you arranged reliable?"

"Of course, sister-in-law, I called and asked before you went in."

"That's good. Drive carefully on the road, and call me when you arrive."

"Okay, goodbye sister-in-law, I'll come visit you tomorrow."

"OK."

As they spent more time together, the two became more like sisters, and He Lin felt more like an outsider between them.

Looking at He Xinglan, Yu Lian remembered that her mother and sister would be arriving soon.

I just don't know if my father has received the news.

Yu Lian wanted to go in and make a phone call, but she had been feeling uneasy all day, which made her restless.

When she went upstairs to her room, she saw that He Lin had shamelessly fallen asleep on her side at some point.

But it seems you couldn't fall asleep. "Didn't we arrange a room for you? Are you not used to sleeping there? Why don't you go home and sleep?"

He Lin smirked: "Liar! You said you wanted to remarry me, but we just got our marriage certificate and you're already trying to kick me out. Yu Lian, what do you take me for?"

Yu Lian was provoked by He Lin's words and remembered He Xinglan's instructions to her, "No, you often have trouble sleeping now that you're sick, right? I just wanted to give you a good sleeping environment."

"Really? Then that's settled. Of course we'll sleep together after we're married, right?"

"Yes! Yes!"

He Lin didn't reply, so Yu Lian made an excuse to go downstairs, "I'm disturbing your rest too much, I'll go check on the child first."

Yu Lian's head was spinning. "Is He Lin crazy because he likes me, or is he crazy because he likes me?"

According to He Xinglan, it is the first type.

If it's the second possibility, then we're doomed. She quickly went to the study on the first floor, closed the door, and made a phone call.

The call connected quickly. "What's up?"

"Please check my marital status."

"Whose?"

"Mine! Hurry up!"

The person on the other end thought Yu Lian was drunk, but still obediently agreed.
