At 4:30 p.m., Lu Zhengye was already waiting at the airport.

Qin Yi's words kept echoing in his ears.

The thought of not being by Lin Yusheng's side when she was giving birth, which was so dangerous, made him feel guilty and heartbroken.

Wei Qing saw his boss's face in the rearview mirror and called out worriedly, "Boss, are you alright?"

Lu Zhengye leaned back and let out a long sigh. He didn't answer Wei Qing's question, but stared at the airport exit.

They would stare at it for almost half an hour.

Lin Yusheng's itinerary was not revealed this time, so no fans came to pick her up at the airport, only travelers who came and went in a hurry.

The moment she stepped out of the exit, her demeanor and appearance drew frequent glances.

People recognized him and excitedly raised their phones to take pictures.

Lin Yusheng greeted fans warmly, but her eyes were always searching for Lu Zhengye.

Lu Zhengye got out of the car the moment he saw her and walked quickly toward Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng's lips naturally curled up, and she quickened her pace.

She had wanted to hug him, but the next second the back of her head was pressed down, and Lu Zhengye's wet, hot lips kissed her.

Lin Yusheng's mind went blank for a moment, and the excited voices around her made her a little embarrassed.

Her eyes were still open, and all she could see was Lu Zhengye's magnified face, his long eyelashes casting a shadow that trembled.

Lu Zhengye gave her a light kiss and then let go, pulling Lin Yusheng into his arms and holding her tightly.

"Sheng Sheng, I miss you."

Lin Yusheng immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.

Ignoring the stares of others, she wrapped her arms around his waist. "I missed you too, Aye. Let's go home first."

"Um."

Lin Yusheng took his hand, and the two got into the car together.

As the car door closed, Lin Yusheng cupped his face in her hands and asked, "Who told you what?"

Lu Zhengye's eyes were still bloodshot, but he said, "No."

Lin Yusheng frowned and asked directly, "Wei Qing, who did he meet?"

Wei Qing was just watching the drama unfold when he was suddenly called, which startled him.

The eldest son listens to his sister-in-law, so naturally he will listen to her too.

"The boss and Commander Qin had lunch together at noon."

Lin Yusheng was surprised to see Qin Yi. She looked at Lu Zhengye and asked, "Did he insult you?"

Lu Zhengye's lips twitched. "How could he possibly insult me?"

“That’s true. If he insulted you, you probably would have hit him back,” Lin Yusheng said.

"Um."

Lin Yusheng thought for a moment, "So it's related to me again?"

Lu Zhengye was silent for a few seconds, then said, "No."

During those few seconds of silence, Lin Yusheng already knew the answer.

She asked directly, "What exactly did he say to you?"

Lin Yusheng gestured to Wei Qing to lower the partition.

She looked at Lu Zhengye's palm, but it was too late when he tried to pull it back; she had already seen the wounds caused by his fingernails digging into it.

Lin Yusheng was really angry. "Lu Zhengye, you can't even be honest with me."

An overwhelming fear rose in Lu Zhengye's heart. "Shengsheng, he only said that your childbirth was very dangerous. I just hate myself. I can't forgive myself. I'm sorry, I really can't forgive myself. The thought of not being by your side makes me want to..."

He suddenly remembered Qin Yi's words, and the word "go to hell" stuck in his throat.

"What do you want? To kill yourself?" Lin Yusheng looked at him calmly, her eyes filled with tears.

Lu Zhengye had never seen her like this before and was so frightened that he dared not speak.

"You might as well just hate me all along. At least when you hate me, you won't be so cautious." Lin Yusheng said, and tears fell down her face.

"It's true that I suffered a lot giving birth to Fanfan, but what about the suffering you suffered? Lu Zhengye, don't always think only of me. The premise of your love for me is that you must first learn to love yourself. Don't do things that hurt yourself or threaten your life at the drop of a hat anymore."

"Because that's what hurt me the most."

Lin Yusheng's words and Qin Yi's words overlapped in Lu Zhengye's mind.

He was terrified. "I'm sorry, I didn't know that before..."

Lin Yusheng interrupted him in time, "It's okay, but you have to learn what I taught you."

Lu Zhengye nodded, tears streaming down his cheeks.

In some ways, he was just a beginner.

His love is clumsy and direct, like a naive child who thinks that giving everything is love, but this will also hurt the people who love him.

Seeing that Lu Zhengye was still unable to calm down, Lin Yusheng cupped his face and gently kissed his lips, in a comforting way.

Lu Zhengye did indeed fall for this tactic, gradually turning the tables and taking the initiative.

When both of them were breathing heavily, Lin Yusheng pushed the person away, feeling a little dizzy from lack of oxygen.

Lu Zhengye buried his face in her neck, looking very pitiful.

Lin Yusheng gently patted his back and said softly, "Grandpa and I talked a lot, Aye, do you know? In my heart, you are no longer just my lover, but also my hero."

Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but he always felt that Lin Yusheng was coaxing a child.

“I’m not Lu Shifan, you don’t need to use the word ‘hero’ to coax me.”

Lin Yusheng chuckled, "It's true. Even the United States didn't dare to clean up the island of the dead. You actually completed such a difficult task in just four years and rescued so many people from suffering. I really, really admire you."

Lu Zhengye's previously grieving mood instantly improved. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really?"

“Mm.” Lin Yusheng nodded emphatically.

She wanted to make Lu Zhengye feel more confident in front of her.

“But I can’t imagine how much you’ve suffered during this time. Do you want me to live in self-blame and pain every day like you? Wouldn’t it be better for us to cherish the future? Let bygones be bygones.”

"As for Qin Yi, his family and my family have been friends for generations. He doesn't know what we've been through, so he might only be thinking of me when he speaks. Don't take it to heart."

Lu Zhengye knew he had made a mistake again. Sheng Sheng had said these things to him many times, but he still overthought them every time.

"I'm sorry." Lu Zhengye embraced his lover.

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Yusheng quickly treated Lu Zhengye's palm wound in the car.

Then I arrived home.

Before the car door was even opened, Lin Yusheng saw her son run out like a gust of wind.

Lu Shifan opened his arms wide and shouted happily, "Mommy, Mommy, you're finally back!"

Lin Yusheng squatted down and hugged her son, "Baby, Mommy missed you so much."

"Mommy, give me a kiss, give me a kiss," Lu Shifan said sweetly, bringing his face close to hers.

Lin Yusheng gave him a quick kiss on his fair face.

Lu Shifan immediately smiled as sweetly as honey.

Lu Zhengye crossed his arms and looked at his son with disdain, saying, "Pretentious."

Lu Shifan playfully made a face at him, showing no fear whatsoever.
