Shen Yanxi stuck out her tongue guiltily as she spoke: "I'll send the children to you tonight."
He Lingchuan sensed something was wrong and immediately guessed: "They went to see Zhou Mingyan?"
When he got to the second half of the sentence, He Lingchuan's voice became serious.
Shen Yanxi guessed that he would have this attitude, and tried to reassure him: "Don't worry, I just brought them here to take a look. Nothing will happen. Besides, you really don't have any evidence to prove that this matter is related to Mingyan."
"You're already protecting him? He just used a self-inflicted injury as a ruse."
He Lingchuan sneered. His footsteps were very heavy, and Shen Yanxi could roughly guess that he had come to the hospital.
She didn't want He Lingchuan and Zhou Mingyan to confront each other, especially since Nan Chen and the others were still there.
Shen Yanxi cupped one hand to her mouth as if worried that others might hear, and patiently reassured He Lingchuan: "With me here, what are you worried about? Besides, the children are very worried about Mingyan, and they don't want to leave."
"Do you really not want to leave, or are you being held back from leaving?"
He Lingchuan's voice was extremely cold. He didn't trust Shen Yanxi at all. He didn't dare to waste a minute and ran all the way to the hospital.
He hung up the phone before Shen Yanxi could explain, and ran upstairs, where he came face to face with Shen Yanxi emerging from a corner.
Where are the children?
"Stop making a scene, the child isn't here."
Shen Yanxi opened her arms to stop He Lingchuan: "I already said I would send the child to your place tonight, what are you doing here?"
Regardless of what Shen Yanxi said, He Lingchuan pushed her aside and rushed into the ward.
The moment he kicked open the ward door, Nan Chen had just broken free from Zhou Mingyan's embrace. He looked disgusted and clearly uncomfortable.
Without asking why, Shen Yanxi grabbed He Lingchuan by the collar and was about to hit him, but fortunately Shen Yanxi arrived in time and held He Lingchuan's wrists with both hands: "Calm down, the child is still here."
“It is precisely because the children are here that I want them to see Zhou Mingyan’s true colors.”
He turned his head, his expression sinister: "And you, aren't you afraid this man will harm Nan Chen? As his mother, aren't you worried at all that something like what happened to Xu Fei might happen next?"
Upon hearing the name Xu Fei, Nan Chen's expression clearly turned ugly.
He shrugged and shrugged in the corner. He Lingchuan had been observing Nan Chen's reaction out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that he was uncomfortable, he immediately let go of Zhou Mingyan's collar and stood in front of him, trying to comfort him: "Nan Chen, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
"I don't want to, don't lock me up, it's too dark."
Nan Chen rested his forehead on his knees, his body trembling. He dared not look up, as if he were having a nightmare.
He Lingchuan felt as if his heart had been squeezed and thrown to the ground. He reached out, but dared not touch Nan Chen, stopping beside his shoulder.
He spoke gently, trying to soothe Nan Chen's fear: "Nan Chen, it's okay, Daddy's here, no one will hurt you."
Shen Yanxi rushed over and shoved He Lingchuan away: "He Lingchuan, I told you long ago not to provoke Nan Chen, why did you still bring up that man? Look at what you've done!"
Hearing Shen Yanxi's voice, Nan Chen pouted and looked up at him with a wronged expression: "Mom, I'm scared."
"It's okay, Mom's here. Nan Chen isn't afraid. Nan Chen isn't afraid."
Shen Yanxi held the child tightly in her arms, glared at He Lingchuan, and said, "Get out of here!"
Shen Yanxi's voice was sharp as she suppressed her excitement, afraid that her unstable emotions would frighten Nan Chen.
He Lingchuan paused for a moment, then reluctantly left the ward.
He stood at the door and suddenly slapped himself.
He acted impulsively just now. He clearly knew that Nan Chen hadn't recovered from the kidnapping, yet he still mentioned Xu Fei's name. He's not a good father.
He Lingchuan felt extremely guilty. He covered his face with his hands and stood at the door.
For as long as Shen Yanxi stayed in the ward, He Lingchuan stood outside the door for just as long.
Hearing the door open, he immediately turned around, but dared not meet Nan Chen's gaze.
He turned his head to the side, worried that Nan Chen would be upset if he saw him.
Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.
Shen Yanxi sighed, and thinking about her actions just now, she realized that she had indeed been too impulsive.
Seeing the guilty look in He Lingchuan's eyes, she lowered her voice and said, "Go back to your home."
He Lingchuan looked up in surprise, staring intently at Nan Chen, worried that he might be scared.
Seeing the meaning in He Lingchuan's eyes, Shen Yanxi took the initiative to explain, "It was Nan Chen who wanted to go."
When Shen Yanxi heard the answer, he was also puzzled. But after thinking about it, he realized that although he was frightened by He Lingchuan, he still longed for his father. Otherwise, he would not have made this decision.
After getting into the car, Nan Chen seemed to feel at ease and actually fell asleep in Shen Yanxi's arms.
He Lingchuan drove very carefully, and the journey that should have taken only ten minutes ended up taking half an hour.
He opened the car door for Shen Yanxi, and several times he wanted to reach out and hug Nan Chen, but he was afraid that he would upset him.
Shen Yanxi felt a little reluctant, but thinking about what he had done to Zhou Mingyan, she didn't want to hand the child over to him.
She watched with a cold expression as He Lingchuan opened the door for her and tidied the room.
After He Lingchuan had settled everything, Shen Yanxi asked him to take her back to the hospital.
"Nan Chen will be afraid if he wakes up and can't see you."
He Lingchuan's tone was firm, and he had no intention of taking her to the hospital.
"Then I'll take Nan Chen with me."
"Chen Yanxi, can you please stop making a scene?"
He Lingchuan stood in the doorway, his voice low and his eyes sharp: "You're willing to abandon your own child for Zhou Mingyan? If it were before, I wouldn't say anything; that's your freedom. But Nan Chen was just traumatized today. How can you abandon him?"
"Wasn't he frightened because of you? Besides, Mingyan can't be without people."
Shen Yanxi had promised Zhou Mingyan that she would go back to be with him soon before she left, so she couldn't go back on her word, could she?
He Lingchuan's grip on the door frame tightened slowly, his nails turning white.
He held back his anger for a long time before finally suppressing it: "I will hire the best caregiver for him."
In order to persuade Shen Yanxi to stay, He Lingchuan offered to take care of Zhou Mingyan.
"At least tonight, you'll stay by Nan Chen's side."
"You're going to take care of Zhou Mingyan?"
Shen Yanxi raised an eyebrow, not believing his words.
He Lingchuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, put on his coat, and walked out the door: "I would like to take care of Nan Chen, but why is he only looking for you now?"
Shen Yanxi moved her lips, watching He Lingchuan's departing figure, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't speak.
In fact, Nan Chen had already promised Shen Yanxi that she could stay alone with He Lingchuan before leaving home, otherwise she might have suggested going back to the hospital.
However, since He Lingchuan is going to take care of Zhou Mingyan, let him go as an atonement.
