Chapter 301 What do you think our future child will be named?
The wind around the pavilion died down a little.
Although Mu Xiao had guessed something in his heart, when he heard this fact from Xing Yu himself, his breathing still slowed down.
Mu Xiao digested the shock and grasped the key question to ask: "What about my aunt? Where is Shang Jinglan now? Grandpa has been thinking about her all these years."
Xing Yu was silent for a few seconds, then squeezed out a hoarse voice from the depths of his throat: "Shang Jinglan... has passed away. It's been many years."
Mu Xiao seemed not to have heard clearly. He suddenly looked up at Xing Yu, his pupils suddenly constricted. "What? Died! How could such a healthy person die? Didn't she leave with Shu Zhicheng back then? What happened afterwards?"
Xing Yu didn't say much: "This matter is very complicated, and it's hard to explain it in a short time. Besides... these things are not for me to say. It should be Lin Yan's decision whether to tell you or not."
"In fact, Lin Yan only met Shu Zhicheng two years ago and learned that Shang Jinglan was her biological mother. She has lived a very hard life over the years. She was abducted as a child and later suffered bullying. She has never had a good day."
"The Lin Yan you see now is the complete person she is today, having shed a lot of skin. I know you want to know the truth, but some things might be more appropriate for her to say in person."
Mu Xiao sat on the stone bench, his head buzzing.
He has lived a life of luxury since childhood, while his aunt's daughter has always been in poverty.
Suddenly I felt that fate was dramatic and cruel.
He paused for a long time before responding, "Okay, I understand..."
…
When Xing Yu returned home from the hospital, he saw Lin Yan half leaning on the sofa reading a book.
He took off his cold coat, walked to the sofa, bent down and touched her face, then sat down beside her: "Is your morning sickness better? I saw you vomited a lot this morning."
Lin Yan leaned closer to his arms, and her nose brushed against the faint fragrance of his sweater.
She spoke weakly, "That's it. Other people gain weight when they're pregnant, but I've only been pregnant for over two months and I've already lost five or six pounds."
She grabbed Xing Yu's hand and placed it on her waist: "Xing Yu, feel it, there's no flesh left. The doctor said it will be fine in three months, but I want to surrender now. I'm telling you, I won't have any more children in the future. Let's just have one baby, okay?"
"Okay, I won't have another baby." Xing Yu said distressedly, "I won't have to endure this pain anymore."
Lin Yan looked listless, but still raised her lips.
"By the way, how was your visit to the hospital to see my dad?"
"It's fine." Xing Yu combed her hair with his fingers and continued, "But I met two people in the ward today."
"Who is it?"
"Mu Xiao, and his mother."
"Mu Xiao?" Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, she finally dug out this person from her memory: "Is he the tall brother who always followed Wen Xi before? Why are they looking for my dad?"
Xing Yu didn't answer directly, but supported her shoulders: "Ayan, there is a dinner party tonight, then you will know the answer."
Lin Yan frowned subconsciously and huddled down in the blanket. "I'm throwing up everything I eat right now, and I'm still attending a dinner party. Can I not go?"
"It's not far, I'll accompany you. Eating is secondary, the main thing is for you to meet some people."
"Who? To meet Mu Xiao or someone else?"
Xing Yu's tone was coaxing: "Don't ask yet, be good, and don't let your imagination run wild. You'll know when you see her."
Lin Yan looked at the seriousness in his eyes and scoffed with a mixture of anger and amusement: "You, you are always so mysterious."
After complaining, Lin Yan snuggled back into his arms. After a while, she looked up at his chin and said, "Xing Yu, what do you think we'll name our child?"
Xing Yu looked down at her and replied without thinking, "The son's name is Xing Gang, which sounds strong, and the daughter's name is Xing Shui, which sounds softer."
"..." Lin Yan patted his chest in disdain and couldn't help laughing. "Coach Xing, you're so unfashionable! What kind of name did you come up with? It's too crude, isn't it?"
Xing Yu took advantage of the situation and hugged her tighter, his tone conciliatory: "Ayan, then you can call me whatever you want. How about Xing Ailin? Xing Aiyan? Xing Ailinyan?"
"So unfashionable!" Lin Yan laughed even more happily: "It would be better to call him Xing Gang."
When Xing Yu saw the smile on her face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
During this period, he saw how uncomfortable she was with her pregnancy.
Apart from feeling sorry for her and wanting to accompany her, he couldn't bear her physical discomfort for her.
In short, nothing can be done.
But he was so worried.
He lifted Lin Yan's chin, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "Ayan..."
Lin Yan hugged his neck: "Hmm?"
Xing Yu put his hand on her forehead and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work..."
…
The evening wind was cold and made a crackling sound when it blew against the car windows.
On the way to the hotel, Lin Yan asked Xing Yu more than once who he wanted to meet, but Xing Yu refused to say a word.
With curiosity and uneasiness about the unknown, the car finally stopped in front of an elegantly decorated Chinese restaurant.
The two walked into the hotel. The front desk had already received instructions and smiled as they led them to the elevator: "Mr. Xing, Ms. Lin, the private room is in the 'Songhe Hall' on the third floor. This way, please."
The elevator arrived quickly. As soon as Lin Yan took a step, her eyes were fixed on a figure at the end of the corridor.
She recognized the 1.9-meter-tall boy at first sight; it was Mu Xiao.
He saw her, and their eyes met. Lin Yan couldn't quite read his expression.
It's like I have too many things to say, but I don't know where to start.
Lin Yan stood there in a daze. Before she could say anything, Mu Xiao walked towards her.
He stood in front of her, staring at her for a long while, his lips moved several times before he finally uttered a dry syllable: "Sister."
Lin Yan was stunned by the sudden call of "sister".
"Sister, let's go." Mu Xiao spoke again: "Grandpa and my mother are waiting for you in the box."
Grandpa...
Mr. Shang?
Lin Yan seemed to have guessed something, and countless thoughts surged in her mind.
Wandering back and forth between possible and impossible.
My feet felt like they were stuck in cement and I couldn't move forward.
At this moment, Xing Yu's fingertips passed through her fingers and clasped theirs tightly.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Ayan, I've found out what you asked me to investigate. Let's go in and meet them."
Lin Yan turned her head to look at him, her mind still blank.
The corridor was short, only about ten meters, but Lin Yan felt like she had walked for half a century.
Every step I take is accompanied by a heartbeat, feeling nervous and expectant, scared and curious.
Finally they reached the door. Mu Xiao walked forward, pushed it open, and stepped aside to let them in.
Lin Yan took a deep breath and followed Xing Yu in.
A middle-aged woman walked towards her quickly, with her hair in an exquisite bun and wearing a light-colored cashmere sweater.
Time has left some traces on her face, but it has not affected her temperament and beauty at all.
Her skin was fair and firm, and it was obvious that she had taken good care of it for many years. But what caught Lin Yan's eyes the most were her eyebrows and eyes, because they were very similar to Shang Jinglan's.
Especially those eyes, the shape and tenderness in them were exactly the same as the ones she saw in the photo of her mother.
She said awkwardly: "Hello..."
