"Mom, you're back!"
When Wang Xiufen entered her home, her steps were unsteady, as if she were walking on cotton.
Jiang Ning quickly stepped forward to help her sit down on the sofa.
"What's wrong with you? You look terrible."
She quickly called Lin Chen over.
Lin Chen had never seen his mother so distraught, so he quickly asked her what was wrong.
This question caused her to burst into tears.
Her heart was clenched with anxiety. When she was young, she married Lin Chen's father through a matchmaker. At that time, she didn't understand love; she only knew how to get by.
He fell ill and died when his children were teenagers.
Unexpectedly, when she was in her fifties, she experienced a resurgence of life and met someone she liked, but then she fell ill.
The doctor said that the tumor in Yu Qi's brain was growing and would soon compress the optic nerve, requiring surgery as soon as possible.
Yu Qi simply didn't believe the doctor's words, refused surgery, and even refused to take medication.
He wouldn't listen to a word of Wang Xiufen's advice.
She thought Lin Chen and the others didn't know about her relationship with Yu Qi, so she was too busy crying to say anything.
Jiang Ning suddenly lost her temper, raised her fist, and was about to confront Yu Qi.
"Mayor Yu is going too far! Look how badly he's hurt Mom. I'm going to confront him."
Lin Chen and Wang Xiufen were both stunned, looking at her with puzzled eyes.
Jiang Ning stopped and gave an awkward smile.
"Mom, I've known about your affair with Mayor Yu for a long time."
Lin Chen was still confused. "What could Mom and Mayor Yu possibly have to do?"
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at him. "You're such an idiot. You didn't even know Mom was dating Mayor Yu. Mom goes out every few days. You think she's just going shopping with her girlfriends? She's going on dates."
Wang Xiufen, exposed: "......"
It's really hard on the daughter-in-law to keep this a secret for so long.
"Yes, I am dating Yu Qi, but he has not bullied me. Today, I took him to get checked out and found out that he has a tumor in his brain."
Wang Xiufen finally managed to explain the situation to them, albeit haltingly.
Jiang Ning looked distressed. No wonder she looked like that; who could stand that?
"Mom, I'll contact the best neurosurgeon right away to operate on Mayor Yu. He'll be fine."
She kept reassuring Wang Xiufen, who had never had much of a backbone.
She began to doubt whether this twilight romance was any good or not. Her mother-in-law had been living a comfortable life before, but now she had to endure all this.
Lin Chen adopted an attitude of not being able to empathize, "Mom, you're not even married to him, why are you so sad?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ning pinched his arm.
"What do you know? Mom finally found a soulmate, it wasn't easy for her! She's been alone for so long, she needs someone to love and care for her too!"
Her words made Wang Xiufen a little embarrassed, and she quickly explained:
“Ningning, I’m so sad because I can’t bear to see others sick. Mayor Yu is stubborn and doesn’t want to have surgery. If you have time, could you please try to persuade him?”
Wang Xiufen sighed and went back to her room to sleep.
Ji Min, clutching her tattered doll, noticed the other woman's unhappy expression. She approached with concerned eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then offered her her own doll to hold.
"Here's my doll, don't be sad."
Wang Xiufen held her hand, feeling somewhat comforted.
Back in his room, Lin Chen was still somewhat dissatisfied.
"Honey, do you really think it's appropriate for my mom to find another partner at her age?"
Jiang Ning sat at the dressing table, applying moisturizing lotion to her face, patting it as she spoke:
"What, you have a problem with that?"
"I just think you women are so heartless. How can she just let go of my relationship with my dad like that!"
Lin Chen muttered to himself, actually wondering if Jiang Ning would also start a second spring in her life if he were gone.
His intense possessiveness—he would even feel jealous if a male dog got close to her—how could he possibly allow something like this to happen!
Jiang Ning was unaware of his little scheme and crawled towards him while kneeling on the bed.
Her nightgown was slightly open, revealing her intimate parts to Lin Chen.
When Jiang Ning's slender white arms climbed up his neck, his breathing became much heavier.
"Don't think that just because of this, I'll give in and do whatever you say!"
Lin Chen restrained the urge to hug her and said with a straight face.
Jiang Ning leaned against him, her hands roaming over his heaving chest.
"You should also think about Mom. When she was young, her parents found her a husband, so their feelings for each other weren't that strong. Besides, she had so much work to do at home and outside, she simply didn't have time to enjoy life."
Now that Mom has time and money, can't we find a partner to pamper her and take her traveling around?
You're not worried that if you leave, I'll remarry, are you?
Lin Chen blushed with embarrassment at being called out. "What's wrong? Can't I make a reasonable assumption? You're so beautiful, if I died, I'm afraid a bunch of men would want to marry you."
Jiang Ning almost died laughing. What kind of man is as strong as an ox, yet worries that his wife will remarry after he dies?
"Then you'd better take good care of yourself, so you don't die before me," Jiang Ning teased him deliberately.
Enraged by her words, Lin Chen flipped her over and pinned her down, gripping her chin with his hand.
"Wife, you're a devil. I'm going to punish you properly."
As he spoke, his lips pressed against hers, possessing her domineeringly and forcefully.
Because he was a bit hot-tempered, he was unusually strong today, and his strength was somewhat rough.
Jiang Ning gasped for breath beneath him, and even after begging for mercy several times, she couldn't force him to relent from his powerful assault.
The next day, when Jiang Ning got out of bed, her legs went weak and she almost lost her balance. She cursed Lin Chen hundreds of times in her mind.
That bastard of a man, he finds some excuse to torment her every now and then.
We've been married for over ten years, and we still get tired of each other.
Lin Chen had a good night's sleep and was full of energy, so he called her to eat.
After finishing his meal, he was going to talk to Yu Qi about something.
"What, you've thought it through and decided to stand up for Mom?" Jiang Ning rubbed her back and rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Chen buried his head in his food.
“I think you’re right. What’s so great about being mayor? He should step down quickly, get the surgery done, and once he’s recovered, he should marry my mom. After the wedding, while his legs are still strong, he can travel all over the country.”
Going abroad is fine too; so many people go abroad these days!
He had heard that Ma Huijuan had also taken her son Kunkun abroad.
Her son couldn't go abroad, so she studied hard for two years, finally passed the TOEFL, got the visa, and took her son abroad.
More people are traveling abroad; in short, going abroad is no longer a rare thing.
Just as Lin Chen was talking about marriage, Yang Lu came in with her child and asked in confusion:
"Marriage? Everyone wants to get married."
