Chapter 186 She's Never Been in Love
This marked the first time Qu Jianhang officially began living with her daughter, and she was busy with all sorts of things, overjoyed.
She personally tidied up her daughter's and grandson's bedding and clothes.
Lin Xiyin's situation is alright; she's bought so many clothes for the little one that the walk-in closet in her room is almost overflowing.
Lin Xiyin was very troubled: "Mom, Youyou is growing so fast, she won't be able to wear her clothes for long."
"I change outfits every day," Qu Jianhang said. "I can wear them all."
"That would be such a waste."
“No waste,” Qu Jianhang said. “What am I doing earning so much money? Isn’t it all for you to spend?”
"Mom." She hugged Qu Jianhang from behind: "You don't owe me anything. I've actually been doing very well all these years. You don't need to feel guilty."
Qu Jianhang turned around and hugged her too: "Mom needs to adjust slowly too. Ruan Ruan, you don't know how grateful Mom is that you can come back to Mom's side."
"Me too."
I used to think I was like a rootless duckweed, with parents but no home, drifting with the tide.
Qu Jianhang patted her on the back and pulled her to the study.
The layout of Qu Jianhang's house is different from that of Pei Muye's house.
The study is large and well-lit.
“I had a large study in every house. Back then, what we called home was basically an office.”
Qu Jianhang introduced her to him.
“Things are different now. Now that I have you all, I have a real home.”
"So, I'm going to renovate these studies and turn them into Youyou's toy room."
"No need, Mom," Lin Xiyin said. "The study is fine, I can use it too, and Youyou needs to practice her calligraphy. The study is better than the toy room, isn't it?"
"That's true." Qu Jianhang smiled. "Then I'll listen to you and not change it."
She pulled Lin Xiyin to sit down.
Lin Xiyin asked her, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Qu Jianhang took the prepared documents and placed them in front of her.
Lin Xiyin glanced at it and frowned: "This is..."
The folder cover reads "Equity Transfer".
Below that is property transfer.
In summary, these documents all pertain to assets under Qu Jianhang's name, and transfer documents have now been signed.
"This is for you."
Qu Jianhang gave a brief explanation.
“When you first returned to the Qu family, my parents wanted to give you shares in the Qu family. But I thought that I am, after all, the daughter of the Qu family, and because of the issue of property, those people were jealous and resentful, so they took action against you.”
"Therefore, I don't want you to take anything from the Qu family."
"Because, I can give you those things too."
"So, all of Mom's things are for you."
Lin Xiyin quickly waved her hand: "Mom, I don't want to."
"Silly child." Qu Jianhang smiled. "Why don't you want it? This is Mom's, so it's yours too."
"I can't..."
"What do you mean you can't do without me? Don't you acknowledge me as your mother?" Seeing that Lin Xiyin still wanted to say something, Qu Jianhang said, "Don't feel guilty. I'll give you these things sooner or later."
“Mom, you’re still so young,” Lin Xiyin said, “I support you being with Uncle Yan, and in the future…”
"What about later?" Qu Jianhang looked at her. "You don't think that Yan Chengyu and I will have children together, do you?"
Lin Xiyin had indeed thought about it.
Qu Jianhang chuckled: "What are you thinking? How old am I? What would I be thinking if I wanted a child? Besides, you're my only child. No matter what, you're my only child."
Lin Xiyin felt a warmth in her heart.
The Lin family's preference for sons over daughters had a profound influence on her.
She always felt that some people, especially rich people, probably wanted boys.
Not to mention the rich, some people who are dirt poor still insist on having sons.
I don't know why.
Qu Jianhang said, "Why are you thinking about all this nonsense? If Mom wanted to have a child, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until this age?"
Qu Jianhang patted her hand.
"In my heart, my true love is only your father."
"I still can't let him go after all these years."
"You are my child with him, and I cannot have any more children."
Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, what you're saying seems a bit unfair to Uncle Yan."
Qu Jianhang laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. It's first come, first served. It's his fault for not coming earlier."
She touched Lin Xiyin's face: "Your father, he would be very happy to see you from heaven."
Lin Xiyin held her hand: "Mom..."
"Alright." Qu Jianhang pushed the document over: "Here, sign it."
This is just a simple signing; a lawyer will come over later.
After all, the amount of assets involved is too large.
Some things are very troublesome.
Qu Jianhang knew that Lin Xiyin was not available during the day, so he arranged for her to meet with her for an hour the following afternoon.
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to sign all the required documents.
After she finished signing, she was still a little dazed: "Mom, am I... a millionaire now?"
Qu Jianhang replied with a smile, "Well, domestically, I'd say I'm among the top."
Lin Xiyin exclaimed as if in a dream: "So many?"
"Some things can't be transferred yet, otherwise you would have become the richest person in the world."
Lin Xiyin laughed and said, "Mom, you're amazing."
Qu Jianhang said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Yan Chengyu for the significant increase in my assets over the past two years."
Although Yan Chengyu didn't pull any strings for her, with this powerful backer, Qu Jianhang's business would definitely be thriving.
In addition, she was already quite wealthy.
Therefore, things went much more smoothly.
"Did Uncle Yan say when he'd be free?" Lin Xiyin asked. "Let's have dinner together."
“He can’t settle down right now,” Qu Jianhang said. “He’s always wanted a formal title, but I haven’t agreed to it.”
"Why?" Lin Xiyin asked curiously. "Mom, I think Uncle Yan is a good person."
Having someone like that by Qu Jianhang's side, taking care of her and protecting her, made Lin Xiyin feel at ease.
"You're already speaking well of him before even meeting him?" Qu Jianhang laughed. "How come you think he's so great?"
“I think someone like him is more worthy of my mother.”
"What's this about being a good match or not? When two people are together, they don't need to worry about so much. As long as they're compatible and have feelings for each other, that's enough. Speaking of which, when I first met him, he didn't know I was a wealthy woman, and I didn't know he was a high-ranking official. We made a fool of ourselves back then."
"That just proves you two are destined to be together."
"It's quite a coincidence. I never thought that so many years after your father passed away, I could still fall for another man."
“Your father has been gone for so long. He must have hoped that someone could take his place, be by your side, take care of you, and keep you company.”
Qu Jianhang smiled.
Lin Xiyin said, "Let's see when Uncle Yan is free, and then we can have dinner together."
"I'll confirm the time with him again and let you know then." Qu Jianhang stood up: "Ruan Ruan, you must be tired today, get some rest. I'll have the lawyer handle these documents."
"Mom, you've given me way too much."
"This is all money your mother earned for you, and also for my grandson," Qu Jianhang said. "To be honest, I only thought of you back then, but now there's Youyou too. I'll have to work even harder to earn money in the future!"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Then I'll have to work harder too."
It was late at night, and lying on the big bed, Lin Xiyin felt that unreal sense of happiness again.
She didn't want Qu Jianhang's things; she wanted to reconnect with her mother, and what she wanted was love.
But she also knew that Qu Jianhang would be unhappy if she didn't want those shares.
What the two of them cared about was not money, but their feelings for each other.
Such meticulous care made Lin Xiyin feel cherished.
She had never experienced this feeling before.
A housekeeper came over to cook breakfast in the morning, and Lin Xiyin called Huo Xianyang early in the morning to ask about Xiao Ruoyi's situation.
I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to see her for several days.
Fearing she was still asleep, Lin Xiyin had no choice but to call Huo Xianyang.
"I felt much better last night," Huo Xianyang said. "I've been vomiting a lot during the day lately, but at least I can get a good night's sleep now."
"That's good."
Unable to eat or sleep, no one can withstand such torment.
Besides, she was pregnant.
"You've worked hard taking care of Yiyi," Lin Xiyin said. "Would you like me to come and relieve you for a couple of days?"
"It's alright, there's nothing I can do here anyway." Huo Xianyang sighed, "I really wish I were the one suffering this."
Seeing Xiao Ruoyi grow thinner and thinner every day, his heart was truly breaking.
"I'll make time to go there during my lunch break," Lin Xiyin said. "Is it for a checkup today?"
"Yes, 10 a.m.," Huo Xianyang said. "You don't need to come over. I'll tell you the results when they're out."
Xiao Ruoyi's morning sickness still hadn't improved, and the two-week period they had agreed on hadn't even ended when the doctor spoke up first.
It means that you should have a check-up, and if the baby is fine, you can continue.
However, if the baby is not developing well, it is still recommended to terminate the pregnancy.
After all, Xiao Ruoyi's current condition requires intravenous fluid replacement to maintain her nutrition.
I don't know how much the child can absorb.
Therefore, neither Huo Xianyang nor Xiao Ruoyi could decide whether to keep the child.
You can only keep the baby if the doctor says it's okay.
Lin Xiyin was still worried, so she wanted to go and check on things.
She has to go back to school in the afternoon, and Qu Jianhang's lawyer will be here at three o'clock.
After hanging up Huo Xianyang's call, Qu Jianhang called out to her, "Ruanruan, come over for dinner. After dinner, I'll take you and Youyou home."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, you should take Youyou."
"You're driving there yourself?"
"No." Lin Xiyin lowered her head and drank her porridge. "Well, Pei Muye said he was going to the company on his way and gave me a ride."
"Whether it's on the way or not, I don't know." Qu Jianhang laughed, "Since he wants to give you a ride, then let him. It'll save us some gas."
Lin Xiyin felt her face burning when she saw her smile.
She always felt that Qu Jianhang's smile had a hidden meaning.
Qu Jianhang said, "I just don't know if he can pick me up and drop me off every day. Doesn't he travel for work often?"
“When he goes on business trips, I drive myself.”
Qu Jianhang reached out and touched her hair: "Sweetie, enjoy your life now, including dating. Mom won't interfere."
Even after getting into Pei Muye's car and driving to school, those two words kept echoing in Lin Xiyin's mind.
in love.
in love?
It seems she has never been in a relationship.
