Chapter 130 I Miss You a Little
Mu Yan stood frozen in place until he heard the nanny scream and was lifted up by Shang Qiyue by the knees. Only then did he realize what had happened.
He heard Shang Qiyue say something, and Xie Chen seemed to reply to something. Then Xie Chen ran back to the living room and grabbed something from a nearby spot.
Then, in what seemed like a fleeting moment, I found myself lying flat on the back seat of the car.
I felt very dizzy, like the world was spinning around, and that familiar Mercedes seemed to be drifting and spinning in place.
Xie Chen was driving, and Shang Qiyue was sitting in the passenger seat. Shang Qiyue turned around, and Xie Chen looked at him in the rearview mirror. They seemed to be saying something to each other, and then they were arguing quietly.
Mu Yan seemed not to hear clearly.
He was just very anxious about his child. Even though he had memorized the precautions countless times and knew better than anyone what he should do, he still couldn't help feeling lost and scared, afraid that he couldn't protect his child.
When important milestones in life truly arrive, memories are often quite hazy.
People in white coats came and went. Mu Yan fainted several times. Every time he woke up and saw people in white, he would doubt whether he was still alive.
He fainted completely upon hearing that his child was safe.
......
When Mu Yan woke up, the lights in the ward were off. The remaining dim sunlight of the evening shone through the curtains, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
A strange woman wearing a beige knitted sweater sat on the bedside chair, her hair tucked behind her ears.
Strangely, Mu Yan should have been surprised and scared when a stranger appeared in his hospital room, but perhaps because he subconsciously trusted Xie Chen not to let a stranger in to threaten his safety, or perhaps because he realized that he seemed to have seen her somewhere before, Mu Yan was not surprised at all.
Noticing his gaze, the woman immediately pressed the call button, then carefully lifted the back of his neck, placed a pillow behind it, and held the straw to his lips: "Drink some water, slowly."
The water was poured from the woman's thermos, and it was just warm. There seemed to be a hint of blood in her mouth, but it must have been Mu Yan's imagination.
The warm water soothed Mu Yan's dry throat. He ignored the strange taste and drank the whole cup of warm water in one gulp.
"Would you like to see your baby?" The woman stood up, as if remembering something. "Xie Chen took the baby for a checkup. I'll go ask if it's done and bring the baby over for you to see, okay? It's a girl..."
"Where are you going...?" As if he hadn't heard her words clearly, Mu Yan reached out and gently grasped the sleeve of her cardigan, asking.
The woman's hand trembled suddenly, and when she turned her face, Mu Yan saw that she had burst into tears without warning.
Why are you crying? Don't cry. Mu Yan tried hard to think: Had he done something wrong?
It seems inappropriate for him to tug at a stranger's sleeve.
She seemed to have just explained what she was going out to do, but I didn't hear her clearly, and I rudely grabbed her sleeve.
I think I should apologize to her; I was a bit out of my mind.
"I'm sorry..." The woman choked back tears and leaned down, gently wrapping her trembling arms around Mu Yan.
Her hair fell onto Mu Yan's neck, making it a little itchy and uncomfortable.
"Baby, I'm sorry..."
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere... I'm sorry..."
"Her hair smells so good," Mu Yan thought for no reason. "It's a very faint scent of gardenias, and it smells wonderful."
When I was little, there was a laundry soap that also smelled of gardenias, but it didn't smell as nice as this.
The aunt next door would use that kind of soap to wash the clothes of the chubby boy next door. Every time he came out of the bath, he smelled so good, even though the chubby boy would soon become smelly.
Later, after Mu Juanhua arrived, Xiao Muyan mustered up the courage to ask Mu Juanhua to use that kind of soap to wash clothes. Mu Juanhua didn't even ask him why, but ran to the neighbor's house to ask the neighbor aunt where she bought that kind of soap, saying that the child liked the smell.
Unfortunately, by then, that gardenia-scented soap had already been discontinued due to hygiene issues.
Mu Yan noticed something wet on his neck and belatedly realized that the woman seemed to be crying.
For some reason, Mu Yan's tears also flowed.
He seemed to know who the woman was.
"Aunt He..." Mu Yan called out softly.
"I was in so much pain just now, so much pain that I thought about dying... When you gave birth to me... did it hurt this much too?"
He Qingyun was trembling slightly from crying and excitement. She seemed to want to hug Mu Yan, but she didn't dare to hug him too tightly.
"Don't say sorry. You've never wronged me, never wronged anyone..." Realizing that He Qingyun wanted to hug him but was afraid of pressing down on him, Mu Yan smiled silently. "When I have the strength, I'll hug you, okay?"
He Qingyun slowly released him and sat up again. Her tears still fell uncontrollably, which she hurriedly wiped away with the back of her hand, afraid that they would blur her vision of Mu Yan.
"I really, really don't blame you. If I had met Lin Guojun, I would have done the same to get as far away from him as possible..."
"But when I was little, I missed you a little."
He Qingyun was almost stunned, and tears fell like large beads.
After a long while, she finally reached out and grabbed Mu Yan's hand, which was sticking out of the blanket.
Mu Yan reacted slightly for a moment, then immediately gripped her hand tightly in return.
“But I’m sorry,” Mu Yan paused, as if she had done something wrong, her voice even softer than before, “I can’t call you Mom.”
He Qingyun shook her head desperately, tears falling onto their clasped hands.
She never raised Mu Yan for a single day. Apart from giving birth to Mu Yan, what part of her is worthy of Mu Yan calling her "Mom"?
“Lin Guojun remarried later,” Mu Yan explained in a low voice, “She was very good to me, I called her Mom…”
He Qingyun nodded, forcing a smile, wanting to tell Mu Yan that this was the right thing to do, that she was his mother.
But tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably. She couldn't utter a complete sentence and could only shake her head vigorously as Mu Yan apologized softly.
"You came to see me, didn't you?" Mu Yan suddenly asked. "Was it you who said you'd take photos for us at Colorado Falls...?"
He Qingyun was stunned, then nodded, choking back tears.
"Why did you come to see me secretly?" Mu Yan's voice was very soft. "My mother has always told me that meeting Lin Guojun was our bad luck... You did nothing wrong, you have not wronged anyone."
“Aunt He,” Mu Yan raised his remaining hand and wiped away her tears, “I’m actually so happy to see you again.”
I'm so glad to know that you're not doing too badly, at least not as well as you were if you stayed with Lin Guojun.
Aunt He, I'm doing very well too. I've grown up safely and healthily.
So we don't need to feel sad.
[Author's Note]
I'd like to recommend my friend's novel, "The Ruthless Villain Turns into a Love-Struck, Crybaby [Transmigration]", book ID: 9474410
Jiang Si transmigrated into a book, becoming the illegitimate son of the Liang royal family with a special identity. Because of her lustful and audacious desire to kill her brother and seize her sister-in-law, she was sent to the Jin Kingdom for a political marriage, marrying the deaf-mute male lead who was still a naive and innocent young man.
In the original novel, this illegitimate son was arrogant, extravagant, licentious, and wicked. When the male protagonist was isolated and helpless, he humiliated and beat him in every way.

Jiang Si: ……………
