Regretful Beijing Marriage

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

It seems that Fu Huaiyan paid a considerable price to finalize the equipment.

But these are all his business.

It has nothing to do with her.

Jiang Yining had no interest in getting involved.

They also won't empathize.

The small, cool hand beside her gently tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Fu Jiayu looked up at her, his face pale and sickly.

"Mom, is it okay?"

His small face was unnaturally pale.

He looked weak and tired.

Jiang Yining looked down at him for two seconds, but ultimately did not refuse.

The car was parked in front of the hospital.

She carried Fu Jiayu out of the car.

Zhou Xubai had already nimbly taken the lead.

Register, pay, and queue.

She doesn't need to worry about it at all.

The emergency room was overcrowded at night.

People were coming and going in the corridor.

Noisy and bustling.

Fu Jiayu was simply feeling weak from the cold and had no acute illness.

We can only wait in order.

While waiting, Zhou Xubai turned his head to look at Jiang Yining, his voice gentle.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go buy something light to tide me over."

Jiang Yining looked down and asked Fu Jiayu, who was lying listlessly in her arms.

"When did you arrive? Have you had lunch yet?"

"What would you like to eat now?"

Fu Jiayu immediately tensed up and instinctively turned her head away.

"I've already eaten, I'm not hungry."

He doesn't want to eat food bought by others.

No sooner had he finished speaking than his stomach started growling.

Fu Jiayu's face flushed red instantly, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

How annoying.

My stomach is really letting me down.

Jiang Yining sighed helplessly.

"Xu Bai, thank you for your trouble. Just buy a little bit, he won't eat much."

"Okay, if there's anything you want to eat, just message me."

A woman with a child nearby witnessed the whole thing.

They leaned closer, their eyes filled with envy.

"Girl, your husband is so considerate, running around taking care of everything, and he has such a good temper..."

Before Jiang Yining could speak, Fu Jiayu beside her suddenly sat up straight.

He puffed out his cheeks and retorted loudly.

"Don't talk nonsense, he's not my dad!"

"I have a dad, and he's wonderful!"

The woman paused for a moment, then her envy deepened.

"I see, that makes it even more precious."

"It's rare to see someone in a second marriage still care so much about a child that isn't their own. You're so lucky, young lady."

"If only my husband were half as good as yours."

This statement precisely hit Fu Jiayu's sore spot.

He never wanted a stepfather.

His father can only be Fu Huaiyan.

His eyes reddened, and he opened his mouth as if to continue arguing.

Jiang Yining raised her hand and pressed it on his shoulder, smiled at the woman, and offered no explanation.

She then got up and led the boy to a corner.

Seeing this, Fu Jiayu lowered his head, his voice muffled and hoarse.

"Mom, I messed up again, didn't I? Did I make you angry again...?"

Jiang Yining looked down at him, her tone completely flat.

"Fu Jiayu, you still have the energy to argue and talk back, so you're not seriously ill."

Fu Jiayu sniffed, tilted his head back, and looked extremely serious.

"Mom, I'm sorry, but I really feel unwell. I'm cold all over and my head is spinning."

He paused, then added quietly.

"I'm just telling the truth, I don't like him being near you."

"I want my mom and dad to stay with me forever, and never be separated."

Fu Jiayu spoke these words with trepidation.

He knew his mother didn't like hearing that.

But he still had to say it.

He has a father.

He wanted his mother to know what he was thinking.

Jiang Yining's expression remained calm, but her words were frightening.

"Fu Jiayu, I never liked your father's domineering nature, nor did I like the fact that he stayed out all night."

"I also didn't like how you always went against me when you were little, even getting angry and stubborn when I wouldn't let you drink cold drinks."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jiayu panicked.

He knew his mother left because she was angry with him and his mother.

He couldn't let his mother bring up the past.

"Mom, I can change! I know I was wrong! Please don't dislike me..."

"Fu Jiayu, back then you were so headstrong and never considered my feelings."

Jiang Yining interrupted him, her tone indifferent.

"I am the same now. I don't need anyone to teach me my social skills, my likes and dislikes, or my interpersonal relationships."

Whether you like it or not is none of my business.

"What you want is none of my business."

She lowered her eyes, looking at Fu Huaiyan's suddenly dazed face, and coldly uttered her last sentence.

"After you finish your medical treatment, live a good life with your father. Also, don't run away to see me again."

Fu Jiayu stood frozen in place, his eyes instantly reddening.

Her small body trembled.

His lips were pressed so tightly they turned white.

But she stubbornly refused to cry out.

He's really useless.

I always make my mom angry.

Jiang Yining didn't try to appease her; her mind remained calm.

It was all too late.

My heart is broken.

It's not something that can be made up for with just a simple apology and regret.

Silence fell between the two.

This is the scene that Zhou Xubai saw when he returned with porridge and snacks.

He didn't ask any questions, he just handed over the food.

"Ningning, you and the child should eat something first to fill your stomachs."

"You can't get an injection or take medicine on an empty stomach later."

Jiang Yining looked up at him, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes.

"Xu Bai, you've really worked hard today. Have something to eat. I'll take him to get his shot later."

Zhou Xubai responded with a slight smile.

Fu Jiayu watched the two sitting side by side, talking.

I feel extremely sad.

He always felt that his mother was really going to be taken away from him.

However, he didn't cause a scene this time.

She simply lowered her head and ate her meal quietly, not wanting to cause her mother any trouble.

Taking advantage of a lull in their conversation.

He quietly raised his hand and pressed the timer on his wristwatch, setting it for 10 a.m. the next morning, and sent a message to Fu Huaiyan.

He knew he couldn't send it now, otherwise his father would definitely find out he had sneaked out.

"Dad, if you don't come and win Mom back, someone else will take her away."

After finishing, he put away his watch and casually scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mother turn her head and say something to that uncle.

A smile was always on his lips.

Fu Jiayu swallowed the mouthful of porridge in a sullen voice.

This was the first time I'd ever tasted rice porridge that was both scalding hot and bitter.

Dad is useless.

He's going to lose his mother.

Jiang Yining glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, frowned, and asked.

"Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"

Fu Jiayu quickly shook his head, obediently picked up the porridge bowl, and whispered something to Zhou Xubai.

"Thank you, Uncle."

He secretly made up his mind.

You must be a good boy and listen to me.

Do your best.

Trying hard to win over my mother.

We must never let Mom completely side with someone else.

His unusually obedient and docile demeanor softened the coldness in Jiang Yining's eyes somewhat.

The three of them ate quietly.

At this moment, Fu Jiayu suddenly grabbed Jiang Yining's wrist.

His face turned bright red, and he looked flustered.

He kept pulling her aside.

Jiang Yining put down her bowl of porridge and asked softly.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Jiayu felt embarrassed and awkward.

He still refused to speak.

He just stubbornly pulled her forward.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xubai asked.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Fu Jiayu shook his head frantically, burying his head and remaining silent.

Jiang Yining glanced in the direction he was pulling and understood immediately.

"Xu Bai, it's okay, I'll take him to the men's restroom."
