Chapter 1 Switching Back

"Feifei!"

Yan Songyu's face was pale, and large beads of sweat dripped onto her pillow. Her waving hands knocked over the vase on the table.

Snap—

The crisp sound of shattering pieces startled Yan Songyu from her dream, and blue irises were scattered all over the ground.

Yan Songyu's listless gaze shifted from the ceiling to her surroundings. This place... feels so familiar... Wasn't I pushed off the building by Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue? I didn't die? Who saved me?

She looked blankly at her hands, but noticed the calendar on the bedside table—February 21, 2002.

February 21, 2002!

Yan Songyu has fully regained consciousness; she... has been reborn!

This is... the First Maternity Hospital of Shanghai, where she gave birth to Feifei 23 years ago! Feifei!

Her Feifei was switched by Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue tonight. Yan Songyu endured her physical discomfort and got out of bed, stumbling towards the neonatal intensive care unit. No, she would never allow such a thing to happen again!

Yan Songyu made her way to the neonatal intensive care unit. Because Ruixin was a shareholder of the First Maternity Hospital, her daughter had a private neonatal intensive care unit. She opened the door and hurriedly checked the baby's right hand. There was no red mole on the tiger's mouth, but there were three ink spots on the leg. It wasn't Feifei; the baby had been switched!

She hurriedly picked up the baby and went to the neonatal intensive care unit next door. Fortunately, there were only 7 newborns today, and Yan Songyu quickly found Feifei.

Feifei, a tiny bundle, was sleeping peacefully in her crib. The information hanging next to her showed that her mother was Zhou Yue, and the red mole on her hand matched.

She reached out and felt Fei Fei's breathing. Fei Fei was alive!

Yan Songyu wept with joy, quickly switched the children back, hugged Feifei and kissed her. This time, she would never let Feifei suffer so much again, her darling!

"Waaaah, umm umm~"

As I was leaving, I suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound behind me.

Yan Songyu paused, glanced back at the child in the crib. Her adopted daughter from her previous life, Yan Mu, had woken up. Afraid of attracting the nurses, Yan Songyu ignored the slight pain in her heart and left with Feifei in her arms.

Just as I carefully placed Feifei back on the small bed in the private intensive care unit, the door opened.

She turned around in alarm, only to find it was the nurse who had been taking care of Feifei. The nurse greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Yan, are you here to see the child?"

"Where did you just go?" Yan Songyu breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression changed. If it weren't for her dereliction of duty, Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue wouldn't have been able to exchange Feifei so easily in her previous life.

"I... I'm sorry." The nurse's face was ashen. "Mrs. Yan, I just went to the restroom. I think I ate something unclean and I've had an upset stomach ever since. Apart from going to the restroom, I've been staying here the whole time. I really took good care of Miss Yan."

With tears welling up in her eyes, she apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"Alright, stop crying. Can you just stay here and guard this place properly from now on?"

Yan Songyu guessed that the nurse had also been tricked by Jiang Chengli and Zhou Yue, because she had repeatedly asked her daughter to be by her side 24 hours a day.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely not leave again before my shift ends."

Yan Songyu kissed Feifei, who was sleeping soundly, again before leaving. However, she still had things to do and was really worried. The observation period hadn't ended yet, and she was concerned about Feifei's health. In her previous life, Yan Mu's health was very weak, and he fell ill several times after returning home, which almost drove her crazy.

After thinking it over, Yan Songyu called Feng Yu.

"Hey, Songyu."

"It's me, Feng Yu. I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"you say."

"Can you help me find two reliable people to stay with my daughter at the hospital? Human traffickers are rampant these days, and I'm worried about them."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

While waiting for Feng Yu, Yan Songyu sat on the bench outside the ICU, staring intently at the door.

Feng Yu arrived very quickly. Yan Songyu checked the time; only 10 minutes had passed.

"How did you get here so fast?" Yan Songyu asked in surprise.

“I live right next door,” Feng Yufei quickly explained, frowning as he looked at her sitting on the cold chair in her thin hospital gown. He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around her. “Don’t you know you shouldn’t get cold after giving birth? You came out dressed like this.”

Yan Songyu hadn't felt cold until now, perhaps because her desire for revenge was burning. It was only when Feng Yu spoke that she shivered.

"I'll take you back to your ward first, then I'll come and watch over you." Feng Yu tried to help Yan Songyu up, but she broke free.

"No, I'm going to stay here and protect Feifei. No one can take Feifei away from me." Yan Songyu was now like a frightened bird, even a little neurotic.

Feng Yu had no choice but to let her be, but he ran to the nurses' station next door and asked the dozing staff member for a cushion.

"Put this down, the chair is cold."

"Thanks!"

Seeing her staring intently at the ICU, Feng Yu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't ask. Instead, he sat down next to her to keep her company.

Fortunately, the people Feng Yu called arrived quickly. Two tall and strong men greeted him as soon as they arrived, saying, "Brother Yu."

"This is the room. There's only a baby inside. You all need to stay and watch over it carefully. Don't leave it unattended."

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Yu."

As Yan Songyu left, she kept turning back to look at him. Feng Yu comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, they are all veterans. I have done them a small favor, so they are absolutely reliable."

"That's good." Yan Songyu held Feng Yu's hand gratefully. "Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."

She felt exhausted. She was already weak after giving birth, and when she woke up, all the information in her mind was in disarray. She had been anxiously waiting for so long, and her body was overwhelmed.

Feng Yu helped Yan Songyu walk for a while, and seeing the cold sweat on her forehead, he picked her up and asked, "Now can you tell me why?"

Yan Songyu didn't intend to tell him about such a miraculous thing as rebirth. She was about to pretend to be asleep when she saw two figures in the garden downstairs through the window. She grabbed Feng Yu's sleeve and said, "Take me to the garden on the first floor."

Feng Yugang wanted to persuade her to go back to her ward to rest, but then he saw Jiang Chengli following her gaze. "Okay."

“Acheng, I’ve made up my mind. I will move to the slums with Yan Songyu’s daughter. Yan Songyu, who is so precious and noble, will never set foot in such a place in her life. This way, we can ensure that her daughter’s identity will not be discovered.”

“If Yan Songyu ever suspects anything, you must take the opportunity to do a paternity test so that you can deceive her. I don’t want my daughter to end up like me.”

Jiang Chengli remained silent, seemingly still immersed in the lingering fear of having done something wrong.

Zhou Yue's eyes darkened slightly as she continued to plead, "Acheng, I've given up on having a future with you. I won't bother you anymore. The Yan family won't find out your secret. I just want our daughter to be alright. Can't you even grant me this request?"

"Both children are your daughters. Think about how the Yan family has treated you, think about the gossip in the village and even the whole town. They promised to marry you, but it turned into you becoming an adopted son-in-law. Your family didn't even show up at the wedding. Even your daughters have to take the Yan surname. Don't you hate them at all?"
