The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Report to your workplace."

Yu Lian was unable to move, and she was very satisfied with He Lin's self-awareness. Now she just wanted to wait three years.

"Lanlan, come here with your sister. After dinner, Yuxin will ride her bike to take you home."

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

He Lin closed the door without a second thought. Only the two of them remained in the house. He Xinglan tentatively asked, "Sister, don't you like brother at all?"

After carefully considering her words, Yu Lian shook her head: "I really like people like you, brother, but you know, there's a big difference between liking and liking. You're probably thinking of the kind of liking that develops between a man and a woman. But what I like about you is the qualities your brother possesses. In other words, if someone else had the same qualities, I would like them too. This behavior itself has nothing to do with the special feelings between a man and a woman."

He Xinglan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"So, you admire my brother's personality, but you don't like him yet, right? Will you in the future?"

Yu Lian didn't know how to respond to the young girl's question. Young people are good; they know how to find loopholes and ask counter-questions.

"It's hard for me to answer that. But you're right, there's no possibility between your brother and me right now. I'm very grateful for your brother's help. You can come to our house every day from now on, since our two families will be in contact for a long time to come, and my collaboration with your brother will last for quite some time."

He Xinglan had initially wanted to persuade her brother to try and win her sister's favor. But after a brief chat, she completely changed her mind. This gentle and beautiful older sister would be fine even if she didn't become her sister-in-law; it was her freedom to choose.

"Thank you, sister. I'll come visit you whenever I have time."

After talking with He Xinglan, Yu Lian felt less burdened.

Evening arrived in the blink of an eye. As agreed by both families, He Lin stayed in Yu Lian's room. Yu Lian sat to one side, while He Lin stood by the window. Three hours had passed since they saw He Xinglan off in the afternoon until now, after their brief chat. Their relationship had undergone a dramatic change. Previously, Yu Lian could be very comfortable around He Lin, but now she couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, perhaps because He Lin felt it was getting too late, he offered, "I'll sleep on the sofa, and you sleep on the bed, is that alright?"

"Is this sofa comfortable to sleep on?"

"Um."

Faced with He Lin's cold attitude, Yu Lian decided not to make a fool of herself and lay down in bed, turning over. Afterwards, she couldn't help but remind him, "You can put the kettle and cups on the small coffee table on the cabinet by the door. Move the table over there to put the bedding; it'll be more spacious that way. Fold the blankets and stuff them into the wardrobe in the morning, and take them out again tonight."

He Lin did not politely decline Yu Lian's suggestion. The narrow sofa was indeed not big enough for him to lie down on.

Thank you.

Yu Lian even suspected that He Lin would never speak in long and complicated sentences again, as he would only utter two words each time he opened his mouth.

On her first night, Yu Lian thought she would be very cautious, but surprisingly, she slept very well. She didn't even know when He Lin got up or when he put the coffee table and sofa back in their original positions. She glanced at her watch; it was already nine in the morning. She sat up abruptly, quickly changed her clothes, and went downstairs. Her injured foot was much better today, but she still couldn't put much weight on it.

"Mom, why didn't you call me?"

No one downstairs responded to her.

"I forgot, today is Monday..."

Slowly descending the stairs, Yu Lian intended to find some steamed buns or dumplings to eat, but after searching around, she found the house empty. Just as she grabbed her lunchbox and was about to go out to buy some, the door was opened from the outside. Yu Xin, with a steamed bun in her mouth and two aluminum lunchboxes in her hands, kicked the door shut and hurriedly put the lunchboxes down.

"Ouch—it's burning hot! Sis, eat it while it's hot. I don't know if Mom and Dad went to the station or something, they were gone when I got up. I saw you were sleeping so I didn't wake you up."

What time did you get up?

"It's just past eight o'clock. When I came downstairs, it was just the two of us at home. Sis, how did you and brother-in-law sleep?"

"What did you say?"

"I mean, how do you two sleep? Is it one blanket or two?"

Yu Lian frowned: "Why are you asking this?"

"Don't think I'm young and don't understand things. I understand everything. Married couples know how to do this."

"What nonsense are you thinking? Your brother-in-law and I share a bed and a sofa. No, wait! What brother-in-law? From now on, call me 'brother'."

Yu Xin refused: "Sister, after it's all done, I can call you whatever I want. You can't interfere. Because I, Yu Xin, will be the most powerful force in dealing with the Si family!"

As she spoke, Yu Xin casually picked up a pair of glasses from the table, put them on, and struck a profound pose.

"Eat quickly, then you'll come to the hospital with me."

A bicycle bell rang outside the door. "Sis, I can't be with you, but someone else is. I still have exams to take!"

After her sister reminded her, Yu Lian finally remembered that she had started going to school normally again recently. It's just that Si Qin's situation had caused such a mess at home that she had forgotten.

"No need, I'll go myself." She couldn't guarantee what kind of person her sister would find for her.

"Knock knock knock—"

Yu Lian had barely taken a couple of bites when there was a knock on the door.

"Sister, I've come to find you!"

It was He Xinglan. Yu Lian dragged her injured leg over.

"Come in quickly, have you had breakfast yet? I'm just eating."

"Sister, I've eaten. I'll go to the hospital with you. I'm perfectly fine."

It seemed that Yu Xin had arranged everything in advance. Yu Lian felt a little touched; her younger sister had grown up so quickly without her realizing it, which was a gratifying thing.

"I'm done eating. Let me tidy up a bit and then we'll leave."

With He Xinglan's help, Yu Lian was put in a wheelchair and pushed all the way to the main hospital across the street.

"Lanlan, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a soft drink later."

He Xinglan readily agreed, "Okay, thank you, sister."

When Dr. Qian saw Yu Lian, his temper vanished instantly, presumably because he had heard about her situation. Halfway through the examination, he suddenly said, "I knew I shouldn't have discharged you in the first place."

"Oh dear, you actually feel guilty? I overslept today, did the sun rise in the west?"

"Kid, don't tease me. Even your dad wouldn't dare. But don't worry about this; the higher-ups will definitely give you an explanation."

"Thank you, Dr. Qian, but my leg is the real issue."

For some reason, Dr. Qian, who is usually decisive and efficient, didn't say anything about the test results for a while.

Yu Lian thought for a long time before finally speaking: "It's not that you're overthinking it. I did think back then that if my leg had healed, I definitely wouldn't have let Si Qin off the hook. But now that he's in this state, he doesn't need me to teach him a lesson. And don't you know... he was bleeding from his head because I hit him with the crutches you gave me."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Dr. Qian felt relieved.

"Try walking a few steps these days, but don't do too much. In another two weeks, you'll be able to move around completely normally."

After saying goodbye to Dr. Qian, Yu Lian took He Xinglan to the nearest restaurant for dinner. He Xinglan, who hadn't eaten out in a long time, found everything novel and interesting.

"Lanlan, let me buy you a new outfit later."

Yu Lian felt a little abrupt when she said it. She didn't mean any harm, but she couldn't be sure if saying it so directly would hurt the other person's self-esteem.

He Xinglan didn't care at all: "No need, sister-in-law, I have plenty of clothes. It's just that because of our family's situation, I can't dress too conspicuously, or people will talk, so I often alternate between two outfits."

"That's good... By the way, if you're looking for a job, I can introduce you to some."

She instinctively waved her hand in refusal: "I don't need you, sister. My family... Actually, it's just that my health isn't very good, and I can't work hard for long periods of time."

From the moment He Xinglan uttered the words "I don't need it," Yu Lian knew she was lying, or rather, hiding something.
