When He Liyu rushed back to Taipei, it was already 10 p.m.

Having learned from the housekeeper beforehand that Shen Linyue was in good condition and had not been seriously injured, he then went to see the principal of Beishi Middle School.

When I got back to the hospital, it was already 10:30 p.m.

After getting out of the car, He Liyu didn't rush to get in. Instead, he stood by the car and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere and started smoking.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, I was choked by the smoke and coughed uncontrollably. I forced myself to smoke two more cigarettes before putting on my coat and getting ready to go upstairs.

"Sir, Miss Lin Yue is very lucky and will be fine." The driver who had been by He Liyu's side finally couldn't help but speak up.

The gentleman hadn't smoked for many years, but he never expected that Ms. Lin's accidental injury would affect him so deeply.

Just like the boss's wife who suddenly disappeared back then, the sight of the boss makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

He Liyu paused slightly, nodded faintly and hummed in acknowledgment before disappearing completely into the darkness.

...

Shen Linyue took a nap in the afternoon, but couldn't fall asleep that night. When she closed her eyes, all she could hear was that lingering voice in her mind.

Then she repeatedly whipped it in her mind, hehe.

He Xiao was curled up asleep on the small bed opposite, his phone still lit up with the results screen of his game.

Shen Linyue looked at him for a while, her heart softening. This was her future baby, handsome and adorable. How could she possibly watch him end up like the characters in those ridiculous novels?

He Xiao is himself; he doesn't live for others, nor is he a tool.

Shen Linyue carefully got out of bed after putting on her coat. She first tucked the blanket around him, then squatted down in front of him to look at his peaceful sleeping face.

It seemed as if they wanted to remember this scene firmly in their hearts.

"Ding-dong—" The sound of a mobile phone notification broke the silence in the room.

Shen Linyue's eyes flickered, landing on He Xiao's lit-up phone, where a message from Gu Yi'an had just popped up.

The surveillance footage has been reviewed; it wasn't done by someone.

I tricked Xu Hao into giving me a beating, and for now I can confirm that he has nothing to do with this.

There were only two messages. Shen Linyue blinked, her expression innocent. She hadn't seen them on purpose.

Just as I was peeking over, I heard a very soft turning sound coming from the doorknob.

Shen Linyue subconsciously turned around, and a tall man's figure appeared at the door—it was He Liyu!

"Why are you back?" she asked excitedly, trying not to wake He Xiao.

He Liyu didn't expect that she was still awake at this hour. When he went over, he found his own son lying on the small bed.

His expression softened: "Yes, I'm back."

In the dim light, his gaze swept over her from head to toe, and only after confirming that her limbs were intact and she could walk did the slight unease in his heart completely dissipate.

"How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?" he asked her in a low voice.

Hearing He Liyu's concern, Shen Linyue felt a little wronged for some reason, because He Liyu was a trustworthy person.

She learned too much today, which made her feel uncomfortable and depressed. It was as if she was carrying a heavy burden. She couldn't relax, because if she relaxed even slightly, the plot would take advantage of her.

Shen Linyue took a few deep breaths, took the initiative to pull He Liyu's arm, and dragged him into the small cubicle.

He Liyu was stunned for a moment, his gaze falling on her small hand that was pulling on his clothes. He subconsciously glanced at her other hand, which was wrapped up in a ball.

He frowned, but what was more important right now was that he could sense A-Yue's worry.

Is there something that can't be resolved?

Inside the small cubicle, Shen Linyue released He Liyu's hand, took a few deep breaths, and then revealed her purpose.

"He Liyu, can you tell me what exactly is the feud between the He family and the Jiang family?"

The small cubicle was brightly lit, and He Liyu could clearly see any emotion on the little girl's face.

"Do you think this matter is related to the Jiang family?" He Liyu pondered.

"No, it's just that this matter is very important." Shen Linyue lowered her eyes, poking at her hand that was wrapped in a ball, and after hesitating for a long time, she looked up at him seriously: "If I said that this matter concerns A-Xiao's safety, would you tell me?"

He Liyu remained silent, his gaze becoming deep and unfathomable. At this moment, his throat was dry and parched, and he turned his head away to suppress his persistent cough.

Shen Linyue sensed something was wrong and grabbed his arm, looking somewhat anxious.

"You lied to me and said you weren't sick."

"Cough, sorry, it was just a minor cold, I'm almost fully recovered." He Liyu withdrew his hand and took a few steps away from her.

He took two deep breaths before speaking softly, "Jiang Yanxin once went to see A Xiao behind my back. I don't know what they talked about, but A Xiao started to hate me and distance himself from me after that."

“I asked everyone in the family at the time, and no one knew what had happened.” He Liyu paused and said, “After that, I replaced everyone in the He family and never allowed anyone with the surname Jiang to step into the He family again.”

He Liyu looked at her again: "Since this matter is important, let A-Xiao say it himself."

Shen Linyue was surprised by this outcome, and her perception of Jiang Yanxin changed once again.

No, does Jiang Yanxin have some kind of problem in her middle age? Why does she always like to talk to people in private?

"I understand," Shen Linyue said in a deep voice.

He felt a pang of sadness and disappointment when he saw her, but since he had a cold, it was best to avoid contact with her.

"Go back and rest, it's very late."

Can I hug you?

Congratulatory gifts: ...

"What did you say?" He thought he might be getting hard of hearing from his age, but he actually heard...

However, the moment he asked the question, the girl stepped forward and quickly hugged him, then let go and took a few steps back.

With bright and open eyes, she said, "I won't let anything happen to Ah Xiao, I promise."

No matter how many mysteries there are, she will slowly unravel them, no matter how long it takes.

After making a confident statement, the girl turned and left, leaving He Liyu standing alone in the cubicle, lost in thought.

Did something just happen?

...

Mei Mei had just taken a nap when Shen Lin Yue was forcibly woken up by He Xiao before she even opened her eyes.

"Get up, it's time for a medical check-up."

He Xiao's voice grew louder as he approached. When Shen Linyue opened her eyes again, she was being pushed by He Xiao in a wheelchair as they ran wildly down the corridor.

The boy muttered to himself what the first test should be, and what the second test should be.

Shen Linyue: ...

I didn't realize Xiao Xiao was usually so diligent. (Smiles)

Until all the tests that required fasting were completed, Shen Linyue did not get up from her wheelchair, because He Xiao wouldn't allow it; he completely treated her as a patient who couldn't move.

He Xiao hurriedly pushed her back to the ward. He Liyu had arrived at some unknown time, bringing a sumptuous lunch.

Of course, all the lavish food belonged to them, while Shen Linyue could only eat light porridge.

Is it possible that she only injured the back of her hand, and that it's not so bad that she can't even eat braised pork?
