Chapter 841 We'll Have More Children in the Future
Fu Nian'an answered the phone: "Mom."
"Nian'an." A similarly heavy voice came from the phone, "How is Yangyang now?"
Fu Nian'an's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and she suddenly raised her hand to cover her sore and red eyes. "The doctor said it was a miscarriage, and the baby was more than seven weeks along."
Shen Qingshu sighed heavily, "This child is not meant to be with you. I know you must be heartbroken, but right now the most important thing is Yanyan. She just lost a loved one and then this happened. This is a huge blow to her. You must comfort her and take good care of her emotions."
Fu Nian'an responded softly.
The mother and son remained silent on the other end of the phone.
Half a minute later, Shen Qingshu spoke again, "Mom knows this was an accident. You've always been steady, and you must feel guilty about this accident. But sometimes in life, accidents happen unexpectedly. Let's just consider it a test for you and Yanyan."
Fu Nian'an understood the reasoning.
When Le Yan was diagnosed with congenital deficiencies, Fu Nian'an was mentally prepared.
It was only when he was actually faced with the reality of losing his child that he realized he still cared a lot.
That was his and Leyan's first child, the fruit of their love. If that child had been born, would it have looked like Leyan?
Seeing that Fu Nian'an remained silent, Shen Qingshu advised again, "You are still young, you can have children in the future."
Fu Nian'an frowned.
Will he and Le Yan have children?
He wasn't sure.
If Le Yan's health cannot be improved, it means that he and Le Yan will not be able to have a child of their own.
In fact, Fu Nian'an did not necessarily want children.
But marriage and having children are realities that most families have to face.
He couldn't hide it from Le Yan forever.
You can't hide it from your family forever.
Before today, Fu Nian'an always felt that it was too early and there was no rush to tell Le Yan's family about her true physical condition.
But now, hearing his mother's words, Fu Nian'an suddenly felt that perhaps he should take this opportunity to be honest with his mother.
At the very least, he needs to work on his family's mindset first, so that when the time comes for him to be honest with Le Yan, his family can help him comfort her.
Fu Nian'an was very clear-headed. He knew that if the two of them were to truly come together and spend their lives together in marriage, he alone could not provide Le Yan with enough security. He needed the help and support of his family.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I kept Leyan's health condition a secret from her before."
Shen Qingshu paused, and after a few seconds, she asked, "What does this mean? Is Le Yan sick?"
"I took her to see her maternal grandfather before..."
Fu Nian'an told Shen Qingshu everything in detail.
After listening, Shen Qingshu remained silent for a long while. Finally, she sighed heavily: "Are you worried that if we find out, we will be prejudiced against Le Yan?"
“I trust you and Dad, but I also understand the importance of offspring to a family.”
“I’m so glad you believe in us.” Shen Qingshu said earnestly, “Nian’an, although I’m saddened to hear this news, my regret is not that you can’t have children for the Fu family. My regret is that you and Le’an truly love each other but can’t have a child of your own. I feel even more sorry for Le’an’s plight. She’s a child with a hard life. She’s already suffered so much. How can I bear to make things difficult for her and hurt her more?”
Fu Nian listened quietly to her mother's words.
He was very grateful for his mother's support and understanding.
"Mom, thank you."
“I will talk to your father properly. But I know your father. He is not that feudal and rigid. Besides, even if you and Yanyan don’t have children, Xiaoning and Niannian’s children will still be descendants of our Fu family. So, the most important thing is for you to relax and get along well with Leyan.”
Fu Nian'an felt a lump in her throat.
As an adult, he rarely lost control of his emotions like this. He believed that he was mature enough to handle emotions and feelings calmly and composedly.
Only today did he realize that having a lover meant having a weakness.
Every bit of suffering a lover endures will transform into a sharp dagger, piercing straight into his heart.
He is no longer the indestructible Fu Nian'an.
He will feel anxious and uneasy, and he will question himself.
Fu Nian'an, who falls in love with Le Yan, is just an ordinary man who worries about his lover and loses control.
...
“Mom, after Leyan’s national tour ends, I want to propose to her.” Fu Nian’an said solemnly, “I originally wanted to wait a few more years, but Uncle Lin is gone, and I want to give her a home.”
"If you've thought it through, just tell me what you need my help with. As long as it's good for you and Leyan, I'll support you unconditionally."
Fu Nian'an was deeply moved by her mother's words.
"Mom, your understanding is the greatest support you can give me."
"You're being too polite with me, kid. Don't forget, I personally took a liking to Leyan as my daughter-in-law. Come to think of it, if it weren't for my painstaking efforts, you might not have come to your senses!"
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Fu Nian'an glanced at the time. "I've been out for a while. I need to go back and keep Yangyang company. I'll contact you again later."
"Okay, go ahead. Call me anytime if you need any help from Mom."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Nian'an took a deep breath, stood up, dusted off her pants, and turned to walk out of the stairwell.
...
Fu Nian'an pushed open the ward door.
Lin Xiangyu immediately stood up and nodded respectfully to him: "Mr. Fu."
Fu Nian'an walked in, glanced at Le Yan who was still unconscious on the bed, and then looked at Lin Xiangyu's face. "Chu Xing has booked a room for you and A Xia at the budget hotel across the street. You two go back to the hotel to rest first. I'll keep watch here."
Lin Xiangyu didn't really want to go back; she wanted to stay and keep Le Yan company.
But with Fu Nian'an here, her presence would seem somewhat superfluous.
So Lin Xiangyu nodded, "Then Xia and I will go back to the hotel first. If Yangyang wakes up, please have Mr. Fu have Assistant Chu send me a message."
Fu Nian'an responded calmly, "Okay, let's go back."
Lin Xiangyu nodded, glanced at Le Yang, and turned to leave the ward.
After closing the door, Fu Nian'an sat down on the edge of the bed.
He reached out and gently stroked Le Yan's pale face.
In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight, and her already small face became even smaller.
Fu Nian'an sat by her bedside, watching over her and guarding her until dawn.
As the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Le Yan's eyelashes fluttered slightly on her hospital bed.
Fu Nian'an's eyes lit up, and he tightened his grip on Le Yan's hand slightly. "Yan Yan?"
Le Yan frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
With her still somewhat red and swollen eyes, she looked at Fu Nian'an and said, "I think I had a dream. In the dream, I saw Brother Sheng leading a child. They walked away, and no matter how much I called out and chased after them, they just ignored me..."
Fu Nian'an's breath hitched, and in that instant she felt as if a knife had been plunged into her heart.
His eyes reddened, and his hand stroking Le Yang's face trembled slightly. "Yang Yang, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
Perhaps every mother and her child have a telepathic connection.
Given that dream and Fu Nian'an's current reaction, even the slow-witted Le Yan could guess the answer.
In fact, when she was wheeled into the operating room yesterday, she vaguely heard the doctor say, "No fetal heartbeat, it can't be saved. Notify the family and prepare for a D&C..."
She had a child, but the child left before she even knew it.
Le Yan looked at Fu Nian'an.
This was the first time she had seen grief in Fu Nian'an's eyes.
He must be very sad that his child is gone.
He apologized to her.
But this was clearly an accident, and it was clearly her fault as the mother for not protecting their child. What did Fu Nian'an do wrong?
Le Yan couldn't help but think that Fu Nian'an must have felt very guilty while she was unconscious.
Looking at the man's reddened eyes and the bluish stubble on his chin, she couldn't help but ask herself, when has Fu Nian'an ever looked so disheveled?
Le Yan felt somewhat annoyed, thinking she was useless and always unable to take good care of herself. Since Fu Nian'an met her, he had worried about her and suffered a lot for her.
Looking at Fu Nian'an at this moment, she felt a mix of emotions.
During this time, Fu Nian'an has been busy taking care of her, and he has visibly lost a lot of weight. She can't let Fu Nian'an worry anymore.
So, Le Yan didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, she raised her hand and held Fu Nian'an's trembling hand, and said softly, "Fu Nian'an, you didn't do anything wrong to me. This child was an accident. He probably left quietly because he was afraid of affecting my career. It's okay. We can have more children in the future."
Fu Nian'an looked at her, momentarily stunned.
The situation he had been worried about did not happen.
Le Yan's reaction was far too calm.
"Yangyang, do you really think so?"
“Yes, what can’t be kept is just that the time hasn’t come yet.” Le Yan looked at Fu Nian’an, her voice still hoarse from illness, “Fu Nian’an, it’s really okay, we’re still young, we can have children in the future.”
