A Life Already Born (A Clip of Tao Lin's Post-Marriage Life)
1
wedding
On Tao Xingye's wedding day, he was so nervous heaving—yes, heaving. Li Chen and Li Lianqing looked like they were not on good terms. Li Chen was busy going downstairs to find a doctor for Tao Xingye, while Li Lianqing took off his suit and rolled up his sleeves.
When Li Chen brought the doctor up, he saw Li Lianqing with his big arms exposed, punching Tao Xingye's chest with his fists.
"Li Lianqing!" Li Chen hurriedly rescued Tao Xingye. The old Chinese doctor outside the door was so scared that he didn't dare to enter the room. Li Chen kicked Li Lianqing out of the room.
"Brother, I have a basis for that. It's all taught in the film. If you feel uncomfortable, press your chest. There's a point there!"
"Get out of here, get out of here." Li Chen closed the door and turned around. The old Chinese medicine practitioner smiled and held his eyes. "You are a teachable boy. Pressing the Tanzhong point does help relieve chest tightness."
"Haha." Li Chen laughed dryly at the two of them, "You'd better show him quickly. He's getting married soon."
"I'm fine!" Tao Xingye stood up as fast as pulling an onion out of dry land. The next second, he covered his lips and began to retch.
The old Chinese doctor helped Tao Xingye sit down, squinted his eyes and began to take his pulse. He frowned while taking his pulse, and Tao Xingye felt more and more cold in his heart.
"Doctor, is he okay?" Li Chen couldn't help but move closer.
"It's okay, it's okay." The old Chinese doctor rolled up his sleeves and grasped the palm side of Tao Xingye's forearm about three feet wide. He kept groping for something with his thumb, and finally pressed hard.
"ah!"
Li Chen hurriedly covered Tao Xingye's lips and said, "Stop screaming, it's like slaughtering a pig."
Tao Xingye was on the verge of tears, "Try pressing one!"
The old Chinese doctor pressed on him for a while, and then brought him boiled tangerine peel water. Tao Xingye drank a large glass and finally stopped retching.
They had an outdoor wedding and the weather in Jincheng was beautiful and sunny.
The wedding scene was decorated with all kinds of flowers and Tencel ribbons, like a dream. What was particularly special was that on the oath stand in the center of the wedding, there was a bunch of green wheat flower arrangement. In the corner, a lifelike kitten sculpture rushed towards the flower arrangement in a flying posture.
There was no detailed introduction to the meaning of these two items, and the guests present simply thought that they were a new type of flower arrangement and did not take them seriously.
Only Lin Yu and Tao Xingye knew that this was a memory that belonged only to them.
Tao Xingye stood behind several arches, watching Lin Yu being slowly walked towards him with Zhang Songge's arm around her, and he couldn't help but began to dry heave.
The guests burst into laughter, and some people in the audience were saying that he was too afraid of something going wrong and not being able to marry Lin Yu, and that a kiss from Lin Yu would stop his dry heaves.
Lin Yu also laughed, and the bunch of white violets behind her ear trembled as she lowered her head.
She looked up at the person in front of her who was unable to stand straight, her eyes becoming more and more determined. She took off the complicated and long veil behind her head and threw it high into the air.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and in the flying white veil, she picked up the hem of her wedding dress and rushed towards Tao Xingye.
It was such a coincidence that at the moment she bent down to kiss Tao Xingye, a Tencel ribbon arranged around the wedding table was blown up by the wind and fell on top of their heads.
"Are you ready?" Lin Yu asked.
"Okay." Tao Xingye unveiled the silk veil, and Li Lianqing happily handed Lin Yu's veil to Tao Xingye from the stage.
Tao Xingye held Lin Yu's face and put the veil on her again.
The year they got married, Tao Xingye had not yet celebrated his 31st birthday, so let's just count him as 30.
Lin Yu’s birthday hadn’t even come yet, so let’s just say he was 30 years old.
In the year they turned 30, they held a grand wedding attended by everyone related to them.
They both had a subtle possessiveness, and they tacitly decided to invite all their relatives, friends, and even business partners.
The reason is simple, just because they want to tell everyone in each other's world that the people around them are themselves.

Lin Yu is pregnant
Lin Yu confirmed her pregnancy three months after their wedding, and the culprit was a broken condom.
Tao Xingye was furious, "I said we should flood the test."
"If you're pregnant, just give birth." Lin Yu's reaction was calm. In fact, she had expected this. She had taken a test strip, but she didn't tell Tao Xingye until she found time to go to the hospital for a checkup today because she was afraid it might not be accurate.
"My illness is fine, don't worry about my health." Lin Yu was determined to keep the child.
Tao Xingye completely transformed himself into a househusband, cooking different kinds of meals for Lin Yu every day. He even hooked up with the old Chinese doctor who gave him a massage on their wedding day, and asked him every day what he needed to improve on his cooking.
Thanks to Tao Xingye's unremitting efforts, Lin Yu's weight finally returned to normal.
The research project that Lin Yu was following was just coming to an end. She spent a month to deal with it and then resigned from her job at the institute.
This incident surprised Zhang Songge so much that he even flew back to China in person.
The door was opened by Tao Xingye. He was wearing a gray apron and his hands were still stained with water, which turned white from soaking. It seemed that they had been dry for quite some time.
Zhang Songge rolled his eyes at him and went into the house to find Lin Yu without even changing his shoes. Lin Yu was reading some information in the study and was very surprised to see Zhang Songge come in. He was even more surprised to know what Zhang Songge was thinking.
She smiled and handed Zhang Songge the materials she had prepared over the past few days. "Look, I've done some research. Jincheng's current medical device landscape hasn't reached the saturation stage that Tao Xingye mentioned. Several companies in Jincheng have made no progress in ECMO research and production."
Zhang Songge probably guessed what she meant, "This machine is not the child's play in our laboratory. Are you alone?"
Lin Yu propped up her chin and looked at the busy figures in the kitchen. She was certainly not alone. "I actually control 53% of the shares of Yaoming Jiansheng, which he sold back then. This company has been doing OEM production these days. I want to restore it to the state it was when Tao Xingye first founded it."
"Wow, it seems I don't have to worry about you making this decision in a fit of rage." Zhang Songge stretched lazily. "I'm staying at your house today. You've been driving for more than ten hours for all this trouble."

Lin Yu's Little Secret
Tao Xingye discovered that Lin Yu had been doing something secretly behind his back for the past month, including but not limited to getting up in the middle of the night to go to the balcony to make phone calls.
Tao Xingye often felt resentful at this time, secretly thinking that he should prick up his ears and ask Lin Yu what he was saying. But he usually chose to bury his head in a few dolls, and the glass door that Lin Yu closed together blocked his ears from hearing the sound.
When Lin Yu came back, she would snuggle into his arms with a cool breeze. He would pretend to be asleep and deliberately not hug Lin Yu to punish her.
Of course, if Lin Yu grabbed his arm and put it on her waist, he would lose control.
After all, it was Lin Yu who put it there, not him.
He had been secretly punishing Lin Yu like this for a month, and finally couldn't bear it anymore tonight.
Lin Yu snuggled into his arms again to keep warm, and Tao Xingye directly hugged Lin Yu's waist - it was Lin Yu who always hid it from him, so if he hugged Lin Yu, Lin Yu should bear it.
"Tao Xingye, I know you haven't slept yet." Lin Yu whispered. She poked the man's cheek and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
She knew everything. She knew everything about what happened to him back then.
He personally reported the project he was responsible for, which landed him in jail. All his assets were frozen and sold. Wanyun Group also suffered setbacks, with its stock price plummeting. Tao Xingguo lost his resolve and chose to abdicate in favor of Tao Xinghai.
After his release from prison, he was desperate and ended up joining Li Chen's company. It was a small, understaffed company, and a lot of work was needed. He and Li Chen were both furious. Like a young man just entering society, they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of business.
Li Chen went to the countryside to help with farm work in order to get orders. He drank so much that his stomach bled and was sent to the hospital several times. All this ended one night when Tao Xingye was sent to the emergency room due to acute pancreatitis.
After being discharged from the hospital, Tao Xingye resigned and used all his assets to register a company. Li Chen also resigned soon after and joined Tao Xingye. No one expected that they would actually be able to build a successful business.
Tao Xingye acquired most of the companies under Wanyun Group with an absolutely dominant attitude. He and Li Chen single-handedly opened up new paths and suppressed several local tyrants such as the Zhou family.
"You have to take care of yourself." Lin Yu hugged him, "Our child hasn't grown up yet." He needs to take care of his health more than her.
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel scared, "How do we dismantle the lotus lantern? We haven't taught the children yet..."
"You, you've been checking this for the past month?"
"What else?" Lin Yu looked up, "You will never tell me these things."

Lin Yu gave birth to a child
The day Lin Yu gave birth was very dramatic. She was excited about inviting a university professor to join WuXi Jiansheng.
The child in her arms seemed to sense her emotions and kicked her, followed by severe pain.
Tao Xingye rushed out of the kitchen and hugged Lin Yu. Lin Yu was in so much pain that she almost cursed, "You rotten son! The due date hasn't even arrived yet. It's all your fault!"
Finally, with the dual support of her family doctor and the hospital, Lin Yu successfully gave birth to the premature baby.
Because the baby was born almost a month early, the doctor checked back and forth many times, fearing that something might go wrong.
Finally, after multiple rounds of investigation, they came to an incredible conclusion that although the child was premature, he was very healthy.
Lin Yu and Tao Xingye discussed and named the child Tao Jingshen.
On the one hand, there is the idea that the forests and hills are particularly beautiful, lush and profound; on the other hand, there is the hope that this child will have a bright future and a solid foundation.
Tao Jingshen's nickname is Xiaopo, and this bad name was given by Tao Xingye on a whim.
When he said this, Lin Yu slapped him on the head.
"Are you willing to be called Xiaopo?"
"My nickname is Husband, just call me Husband." Tao Xingye tucked the quilt in for Lin Yu, "I'm going to go see Xiaopo."
Those two words sounded quite nice when pronounced from his mouth. Lin Yu thought about it and decided that calling him Xiaopo would also be fine.
After Xiaopo was discharged from the hospital, Tao Xingye has been taking care of him closely. After Lin Yu recovered, he rushed around to deal with the restructuring of Yaoming Jiansheng. During the year when Xiaopo was the most difficult to take care of, Lin Yu never delayed his work because of the child's affairs.
This incident made Lin Yu feel bad. She was afraid that she would become a cold and indifferent mother like Mei Jinfeng. Once, when Xiaopo was changing his diaper, Lin Yu worked hard for a long time but still couldn't put it on.
Tao Xingye came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands, took the diaper and put it on Xiaopo.
Lin Yu burst into tears. Tao Xingye didn't know what was going on, so he quickly squatted down to comfort Lin Yu.
At this moment, Xiaopo smiled. He lay on the bed and waved at Lin Yu. Lin Yu bent down and hugged Xiaopo. The child did not feel strange at all and kept pulling her neat black hair.
Tao Xingye understood what she was like. From then on, whenever he had free time, after finishing his work at the company, he would take Xiaopo to Yaoming Jiansheng to play with Lin Yu.
One time, when he was walking downstairs, he ran into Li Chen and Li Lianqing. Li Lianqing's eyes widened, and he rushed to them with his schoolbag on his back. He searched through his pockets and finally found a wad of change and held it in front of Xiaopo, "Hey, how about I be your godfather?"
"Get out." Li Chen wanted to pull Li Lianqing away, but Xiaopo reached out and grabbed the only hundred-yuan note. This incident was still told as a funny story by our Tao Jingshen after he became an adult.
Tao Xingye didn't expect Xiaopo to be so interested in money. He glanced at Li Lianqing. Although this guy was unruly, he was different from Li Chen and the others.
The people around them are too introverted and thoughtful. It might be a good thing if Xiaopo had an extroverted and brave man like Li Lianqing as his godfather.
"Okay, little bastard, call me godfather." Tao Xingye lowered his head and called Tao Jingshen. The child was still playing with the hundred-yuan note.
"No way, Tao Xingye, I bribed you with just a hundred yuan?" Li Chen glared at Li Lianqing. If he had known earlier, he would have said that he wanted to be the godfather first. The birth of this child must also be his contribution!
"I'll give you two hundred!" Li Chen took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Xiaopo, but Xiaopo refused to take it.
"Get up, I have to take Xiaopo to find Xiaoyu." Tao Xingye moved Xiaopo's position in his arms to make him more comfortable.
The weather was perfect and all the company's work had been done. Lin Yu was waiting for them in the building next door, with the child in her arms, neither crying nor making a fuss.
He raised his feet and walked steadily outside.
