Chapter 149 Strange Number
Zhao Xin said to the other party's secretary, "Push me back to my room to rest."
After hearing the news yesterday, he was unable to stand and after not sleeping all night, he couldn't walk. He was in a wheelchair.
At this time, Zhao Yunbin opened the study door and asked, "Dad, is there any news about Shunian?"
"He wasn't on the list of casualties from the plane crash. I don't know what his current situation is."
Zhao Yunbin was relieved at first, but then he started to worry. He wasn't on the plane, so where was he? Why was he out of contact? There must be something wrong.
Zhao Xinzhi said, "Go back and wait patiently. Don't reveal your true identity to others."
"I know." After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yunbin said to him, "Dad, you are going to be a great grandfather."
Hearing this, Zhao Xinzhi was stunned for a moment, then said "OK" three times in a row. He asked Zhao Yunbin about the specific situation and learned that Yu Yin's condition was not very stable. He and Zhao Yunbin had the same idea, which was to let Ms. Li go to the capital.
Zhao Xinzhi also instructed, "Tell Yunzi not to rush over. It would be bad if anyone noticed anything unusual. It's especially important to stay calm at this time. It's important for us to just know that Yu Yin is pregnant, but don't spread the word. She's still a little early in the pregnancy."
Zhao Yunbin agreed.
Being able to hold his great-grandson in his arms during his lifetime, Zhao Xinzhi felt that he could live for a few more years. At this moment, he thought a lot and became energetic again.
Suddenly, Zhao Xinzhi glanced at Zhao Yunbin and understood his intention. Even if something happened to Shunian, his lineage would still have a way out. He wanted his father not to give up on them so quickly and change his mind. He was here to give Zhao Xinzhi some reassurance.
In fact, the overall situation has been decided now, but Zhao Yunbin still suspects that Zhao Xinzhi will hold back.
Zhao Xinzhi felt he still didn't fully understand his son; he'd hidden him so well. When Shunian lost contact and Yu Yin got the news of her pregnancy, he quickly devised a plan for recovery.

At the Lake and Mountain Villa, Ms. Li was also reassuring Yu Yin, telling her not to worry too much about Shunian and to take good care of her health.
Yu Yin nodded weakly and said okay.
She felt that Zhao Shunian's absence from the private plane was relatively good news, as the mortality rate in a plane crash was almost 100%, while other accidents offered a slight chance of survival. However, there was no news from him now, so something must have happened to him.
Yu Yin's mood couldn't improve, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
Ms. Li looked around the clinic. "Although you're a first-time mother, it's very thoughtful. For example, in the early morning, you can get prompt care from the doctor."
Yu Yin said, "It's not that I thought it through, it was Meimei who first proposed it, and she was the one who helped arrange it."
"I've discovered that you're an honest person. Meimei is your assistant. She wouldn't act without your consent. You don't take any credit for it."
Yu Yin found it a little funny. It had been a long time since anyone used the word "honest" to describe her. She was not honest at all. She always had all kinds of little ideas and secretly achieved her goals.
Seeing that Yu Yin was not so depressed, Ms. Li thought that she might have hit the nail on the head and piqued her interest.
Ms. Li tried her best to talk to Yu Yin in this direction, asking her not to think too much and immerse herself in Shunian's affairs.
This was the first time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had so much to talk about.
Ms. Li left only after Yu Yin felt tired and listless.
Sister Hong took Ms. Li for a walk around the villa. Ms. Li frowned, "There are so few servants, and Yu Yin is pregnant. How can we take good care of her?"
"My husband and his wife like quiet and peaceful life. They don't want to be disturbed by so many people. They fired some servants last year, and the ones who stayed are all honest and quiet."
When Sister Hong said this, Ms. Li immediately understood that a servant had annoyed them before, so there were so few servants now.
Ms. Li was not aware of the matter of Hushan Villa. Zhao Shunian asked Sister Hong to come to the capital only because he said that Ye Ma was old and sick and needed retirement care, so he needed to find someone to replace her.
Ms. Li said, "I'll talk to Yu Yin later and ask her to help find some suitable servants. Some things need to be prepared in advance to avoid any omissions."
………
Two days later, Yu Yin found that an unfamiliar international number called her. She didn't answer at first. After the other party called two or three times, she remembered that Zhao Shunian called her in the same way on his birthday.
Yu Yin picked up the phone immediately. When she heard the familiar voice calling her, tears immediately flowed down her face. "Are you okay?"
Zhao Shunian's voice came, "Yu Yin, don't cry, I'm fine. I can't bear to see you cry."
"Why don't you reply to my messages or answer my calls? They can't reach you."
"The phone I used to contact you was broken, so I didn't see the messages. Zhuang Jie's phone was hacked and located, so for safety reasons, we gave up all the electronic devices we had."
"Then why can I make phone calls now?"
"I don't have anything to do right now, so I can contact you. There are some things that are not convenient to talk about now. I will tell you when I get back."
"Shunian, I really want you to come back safely, to see you appear before me unharmed. Do you know what my birthday wish was for you last year?"
"What is it?"
"My wish is that you will be safe and successful, and not encounter failure or hardship. This way, I won't have the chance to be heartless and leave you. I can't bear to leave you, and I really want to be with you. I speak this wish, and I pray that God can hear it again and bless you with safety. These days, I've been recalling many things from the past, and I've found that over the past three years, the moments I've spent with you have been mostly happy, a happiness I didn't realize I had."
When people feel helpless, they always place their hopes on metaphysics. When they are at their wit's end and don't know what to do next, metaphysics can bring them some comfort. Yu Yin also prayed that the heavens would hear her wish and let Zhao Shunian be safe.
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before a voice came through: "Yu Yin, I love you, I love you very much. I'm afraid of death, but I also love you and want to be with you forever."
Zhao Shunian felt that the word "forever" was unrealistic and nothing was eternal, but he really wanted to be with Yu Yin forever. Although he didn't like to make long-term commitments, he still succumbed to his emotions and said this.
"I love you too, Shunian."
This was the first time they said they loved each other, and they said it in such a situation, their feelings were extremely sincere.
Yu Yin felt that for her and Zhao Shunian, love did not appear in an instant. They did not fall in love at first sight. Love grew as they spent more and more time together. They just discovered love at a certain moment.
