Chapter 53 You Need to Prepare for Pregnancy

Wang Yixun took out a pack of cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and handed the other to Xing Yu.

"I've checked it out. I'm efficient, aren't I, your brother?"

Xing Yu put his hands in his pockets and did not take the cigarette he handed over, with a serious look on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

Wang Yixun was not in a hurry and pushed the cigarette in front of him: "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk after you finish smoking."

"No." Xing Yu said calmly, "I've quit."

"What?" Wang Yixun questioned him, leaning on the balcony and frowning at him: "You quit smoking? You want to get pregnant?"

Xing Yu said nothing.

Wang Yixun squinted his eyes and looked at him, then smiled: "Old Xing, you've been a chain smoker for so many years, how can you possibly quit? If you could quit, I'd immediately strip naked and run down the street."

"If you don't run naked by then, kneel down and call me daddy."

"Oh, are you serious?" Wang Yixun clicked his tongue. "Why are you smoking like crazy? Why are you quitting smoking all of a sudden? You don't like drinking, gambling, or women. If you quit smoking, what fun will there be in life? Just go to a temple and become an old monk."

"The donkey did nothing all day, and all it did was kick you in the head?" Xing Yu squinted at him. "Even gold miners can't dig out gold as pure as yours."

“…”

The furrow between Xing Yu's brows deepened. "Alright, tell me now."

After lighting a cigarette, Wang Yixun blew a puff of secondhand smoke at him and continued to grumble.

"Old Xing, when you called Lin Yan your wife just now, your tone was so sweet that it made my heart flutter. Why are you talking to me like a cold-blooded robot?"

"Our friendship of all these years is still not as good as that of a woman? Old Xing, I'm so jealous."

"It's none of my business if you eat shit."

"Yes, heartless old man."

Xing Yu wasn't in the mood for small talk: "Stop rambling and get to the point."

Wang Yixun knew when to stop, shook off the ash from his cigarette butt, and returned to normal tone.

"I had someone conduct a thorough investigation into Lin Yan's situation yesterday. They didn't find any unusual past experiences in her life, nor did they find any evidence of anyone bullying her."

"Sure?"

"Confirmed." Wang Yixun continued, "Lin Yan lived in Longping until junior high school. She was admitted to a key high school in the city and then successfully entered Beijing Foreign Studies University. After graduation, her department head recommended her for an internship at the Translation and Interpretation School, and she has been working there ever since."

"Her life has been smooth sailing. She's a top student in the eyes of her classmates, a top student in the eyes of her teachers, and a business elite in the eyes of her boss. I visited her former school, but didn't hear anything special."

"It's just... everyone says she's very cold and doesn't like to laugh. Aside from being close to a classmate named Cheng Qing and your idiotic brother-in-law Song Yanzheng, she usually keeps to herself."

"Lin Yan is just a nerdy student who's a top student. She definitely wouldn't cause trouble, so why would anyone bully her? You're definitely overthinking it."

Xing Yu was silent.

On the surface, Lin Yan's experience seems to be smooth sailing.

But he was certain that she must be carrying some unspeakable stories.

The shocking scar on her back did not look like a simple accidental injury, but rather the result of deliberate persecution.

In addition, the words she shouted out out of control last night were more like a cry for help from deep within her heart.

He thought it was An Chunfang, but no matter how much she hated Lin Yan, she would not be so harsh on her.

Not to mention being stupid enough to leave yourself a whole back of evidence.

There are only two possibilities as to why it cannot be found.

First, the matter was not big enough, and only Lin Yan knew about it.

Second, the matter was too big and was deliberately suppressed.

Wang Yixun noticed that his expression was becoming increasingly gloomy, so he asked, "Old Xing, what are you thinking about? You look so scary."

Xing Yu turned around, leaned his elbows on the railing, and looked down from the eighteenth floor with his eyes lowered.

He said slowly, "I have never seen light in her eyes."

Wang Yixun was slow to react. He was stunned for two seconds and then nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

"Old Xing, you really shouldn't say it! The first time I saw Lin Yan, the feeling she gave me was hard to describe, especially those cold, lifeless eyes and that translucent white skin. It was like... like a hazy figure in the dead of night, light and floating, invisible and elusive... like a ghost! Yes, exactly like a ghost!"

Xing Yu turned his eyes and glared at him: "Who are you saying looks like a ghost?"

"..." Wang Yixun took it all in: "I, I look like a ghost. Are you satisfied? You vicious old man."

"But Old Xing, come to think of it, why did you suddenly check on her? There has to be a reason, right?"

Xing Yu's eyes were complicated and seemed to contain many things.

After a while, he pondered and said, "Understanding her past may give me the key to open the door to her heart."

Wang Yixun was worried for him: "Old Xing, aren't you always decisive and efficient in your actions? How come you haven't been able to handle a woman for so long? No... don't tell me you haven't done that yet?"

Xing Yu pursed his lips and said, "Apart from sewage, your mind is filled with nothing but yellow garbage?"

Wang Yixun spread his hands: "Old Xing, are you really capable of this? Isn't that the only thing between men and women? Besides, you and her have already obtained a marriage certificate, and you still plan to play platonic games?"

"Old Xing, living in the same room with the person you love every day, watching her swaying around in front of you, can you really bear it? Although you are a taciturn person, you can hold it in, but I remind you, you can't masturbate too often, it's bad for your health!"

Xing Yu: “…”

Wang Yixun came closer, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him some advice.

"Old Xing, listen to my advice. Sometimes you have to be tough. Are you still waiting for a woman to take the initiative?"

"Although I don't know what tricks you used to deceive me into marriage, but now that you've got it, just keep going!"

"I know your personality. You must feel that she hasn't fully accepted you yet, and you're afraid of making her angry, so you don't touch her. But Lao Xing, you have to understand one thing: love has to be done!"

"Use your skills well and make her completely addicted to you! Make her fall in love with you! And then she will naturally fall in love with you!"

Xing Yu just treated it as a fart and glanced at him coldly: "Have you read too many brainless and overbearing CEO novels? That's not called love, that's called rape."

"Forget it. There's nothing to talk about with a conservative caveman like you." Wang Yixun couldn't suppress his curiosity and continued to ask, "Old Xing, how far have you and Lin Yan progressed?"

"Never mind."

"If I don't take care of you, who will? You have no father to love you and no mother to care for you. You are over 30 years old and finally got married. What if she runs away?"

Xing Yu: "I can't run away."

Wang Yixun shook his head. "He looks like a wild Tibetan mastiff, but his heart is as pure as a village dog. He's simply unmatched."

"Okay." Xing Yu changed the subject, his expression becoming more serious: "Did you come to any conclusion on that matter?"

Wang Yixun collected himself and became serious.

"I came to you today specifically to talk to you about this in person."

Xing Yu probably had made up his mind.

"Is it as I thought, Xing Mo has already woken up?"
