Chapter 50: Prayer
“If I am wrong, I will take responsibility
Believe that you are the answer
I'm not afraid of anyone laughing at me for being extreme
Trust your instincts
Stubborn people never complain of being tired
I will not retreat if I fall in love with you"
Early in the morning, the sound of cell phones filled the room.
Lin Xi reached for the phone on the bedside table and said weakly, "What's wrong, Xuedan?"
"Chen Jialian despises me! He slept next door last night and went to work early today. I can't believe he's so conservative!"
"Well, what happened?"
"I'm driving to your house. I'll tell you when I get there."
Then, Lin Xi heard another burst of crying.
The woman suddenly woke up, "Oh, don't cry!"
"Here we are, come downstairs and pick me up."
Lin Xi: ...
…
So Xuedan hugged the disheveled Lin Xi and started to cry.
She had no idea how to comfort him, and was a little confused as she was forced to turn on the computer.
I went to bed early yesterday morning, and it’s only a little after nine o’clock now.
"Miss Xuedan, tell me, what happened?"
"He's just a bitch. It's the 21st century, how could there still be men with... uh, that kind of thing?! Besides, I've only had one boyfriend before him."
Lin Xi wanted to say something but stopped herself, not knowing how to comfort her.
"It's only the first day of marriage, and I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of my life. If I had known earlier, I should have been honest with him before we got married."
"A woman's innocence is never hidden under her skirt," said Lin Xi.
"I met my first boyfriend in college. We were in a relationship with the intention of getting married... but then he cheated on me."
"As long as we respect ourselves and love ourselves, we won't be careless. What's the first time or the second time..."
"Yeah, Xixi, wow, I also chose the wrong person. I have remained single ever since then. How could Chen Jialian despise me? I have been single for three years. If I had known I would meet him three years ago, I would definitely not have done that."
"Don't be sad, it's his fault."
"Yeah!" Xuedan stopped crying, broke away from Lin Xi's embrace, looked at her and asked, "Did your virginity get ruined?"
Lin Xi's brain froze for a moment, "Huh?"
"Don't hesitate, just speak!"
He nodded vaguely, "Hmm..."
It was actually an accident, she thought so at first!
But fortunately, God treated her well.
During that unclear period, she was very internally consumed and conflicted, and even suffered from insomnia and anxiety.
Xuedan sighed, feeling lost. "Think about it, you're the same way. You love Chen Yan so much, you're so love-brained that you can't accept anyone else except Chen Yan. Unless one day you get tired of her, you'll probably cling to her for the rest of your life."
"Unless one day he betrays me and really cheats on me, I will always be with him."
"oh."
"But I think Chen Yan doesn't have any ** plot." In order to comfort Xuedan, Lin Xi lied to Xuedan for the first time.
"Really?"
"Yeah!" Lin Xi nodded affirmatively.
"Oh." Xuedan sighed. It was obvious that Chen Yan was not a man without sexual tendencies.
Chen Jialian really didn't notice it, maybe because they hadn't been together for a long time.
Shen Yan has known him since childhood. When he was young, he was a favored child of the emperor and was pursued all the way from middle school to university. He was the school grass and was called the second brother.
Now?
The bright moon and the gentle breeze, the powerful and noble who can be seen but cannot be grasped, are beyond our reach.
"Okay." Lin Xi wiped the tears from Xuedan's face. "Look at you, your makeup is all ruined."
"Yeah, it's okay, I'll just make up one later."
"Don't you like painting? Let's paint together later."
"Oh, when did you also fall in love with painting?" Xuedan.
“During those days when I couldn’t speak, I wanted to express my inner feelings, so I would pick up a paintbrush.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Xixi."
"No. I've never experienced life in an island village since I was a child. I'm used to living in luxury, but the occasional hardship makes me appreciate and understand everything I have now even more."
"Is that what you said?"
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, okay."
It was not until the evening that Lin Xi invited Xuedan to have dinner together, and Xuedan left the Shen family villa.
It's ten o'clock. Chen Yan must have been working overtime today, otherwise he would have gone home early.
Lin Xi is such a good friend, and she took leave again today for Xuedan.
The time when she worked the hardest was the three years when she was tired and didn't go home. Being so busy really made her worries overtake her.
On the contrary, now that I am together with Shen Yan, my mind is no longer focused on work.
Alone at home, she had nothing to do, so she went back to her room, turned on her computer, and checked her work email.
After a while, it started to drizzle outside.
Lin Xi looked out the window and was in a daze.
When will Shen Yan come home?
The glass window reflected the woman's beautiful and young face.
She lowered her eyes, went upstairs to take a look, and told Aunt Wang that they could go home and return to their rooms to rest.
When I arrived at the living room, the door of the villa was pushed open.
The man walked in. He was tall and thin, and looked elegant and handsome in a black suit.
His face was slightly flushed, and his voice was seductive, "Wife."
Lin Xi walked towards him and hugged him again.
He nodded slightly.
Then he smiled slightly and hugged Lin Xi tightly in his arms.
"Why are you so well behaved today?" He spoke with a hint of alcohol in his breath.
"Was I not obedient before?" the woman asked.
"Fortunately, she was quite aggressive." If Lin Xi had told him from the beginning that she was the woman at the Sophie Hotel that night, there would be no Su Wan and Qin Ran.
Will their love, like the journey to the West, which requires eighty-one difficulties, finally come to fruition?
"I like you, I like you, I like you... Chen Yan."
Lin Xi repeated this sentence, and then took the initiative to kiss Chen Yan.
Chen Yan, the same, likes Lin Xi very much, likes Lin Xi very much, likes her very much.
A month later, Lin Xi was found to be pregnant.
The moment she walked out of the hospital, Lin Xi still felt it was unbelievable.
Is all this true?
He immediately shared the good news with Shen Yan, "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, you're going to be a father."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he said, “Congratulations, Mrs. Shen, you’re going to be a mother.”
"Tsk~" Lin Xi laughed.
"Then we will be a family of three from now on."
"Well, that's really good." Shen Yan said.
Happiness is always so scarce and short-lived, while misfortune comes heavily.
***
Half a month later, on a sultry morning, when Lin Xi woke up, she felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen.
Still wash and eat as usual.
While she was having breakfast alone, Aunt Wang, who was mopping the floor, muttered to herself, "Where did the blood come from?"
Lin Xi paused while eating her sandwich.
She looked down and saw that the hem of her skirt was soaked with blood.
A sea of red, shocking.
At this moment, Lin Xi broke out in cold sweat. The red color came into her mind again like a nightmare. The next moment, she was on the verge of falling.
All I could hear was, "Madam...Madam...Help, Madam has fainted."
The nightmare reappears.
***
When Lin Xi woke up again, it was already late at night. She was lying on the hospital bed, her face as pale as an A4 paper.
Even his lips were pale.
My whole body is numb and my stomach hurts when I move.
She understood something and couldn't help but shed tears.
There is still a needle in my right hand and I am still on an IV drip.
The next moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and Shen Yan walked in.
Seeing Lin Xi wake up, he seemed to be in a bad mood, "Well, you're awake."
"Is our child still alive?" He asked despite knowing the answer. In fact, he already knew the answer, but he still didn't give up and wanted to ask, just in case there was a glimmer of hope?
"Your body is not yet suitable for having children. Take some time to recuperate. We will have our own children in the future."
In fact, this incident is not only a blow to women, but also to men. The only difference is that since the baby is not in the man's belly, he cannot exude natural maternal love like his mother.
Lin Xi cried and choked up, "Let's get a divorce. I can't have children anymore. I can't hold you back, right?"
"No. Even if you can't have children in your lifetime, I won't divorce you."
"Oh. Then I can." Why can't I keep it again and again?
"Think about it, I've lived for over twenty years, never done anything bad, and always done good deeds. Why don't I have children?"
"There will be someday."
"No more." Lin Xi was a little excited.
It's like this every time, and Chen Yan really feels exhausted.
He went forward to comfort his wife. Seeing that the medicine in the bottle had finished dripping, he held Lin Xi's hand attentively and removed the needle for her.
He placed his hand on his heart again and said, "When you recover, I'll take you to the summer resort, how about that?"
"Not good." Lin Xi sat up and stretched out her arms to hug Chen Yan.
Sobbing and crying in Shen Yan's arms, at this moment, they seemed to be able to empathize with each other.
The man lowered his head and kissed away a teardrop as big as a bean.
It’s piping hot and salty.
“Mrs. Shen’s tears are so noble, how can she just shed them?”
Lin Xi raised her head and kissed Chen Yan.
It was a kiss in the dead of night, so quiet that only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.
*****
The next day, Xuedan heard about it and came to visit Lin Xi.
Lin's mother was also present, so Xuedan understood and said, "Xixi."
"Xuedan, you're here just in time. You two sisters are the same age, and there's a generation gap between us. Xixi doesn't want to tell me some things, but she's definitely willing to tell you. You two can chat first, I'll go buy lunch."
Xuedan sat in front of the bed and said, "Look at you, your eyes are red. You must have been crying."
"Before I became a mother, I probably couldn't understand how much hope a little life has in the womb. Mom and Dad have high expectations for it. They hope it's born safe and healthy, and they want the best for it in the future. They even think about whether it's a boy or a girl, and what name to give it. It turns out the more hopeful you are, the more disappointed you become."
But Xuedan had never been pregnant before, so she didn't understand what Lin Xi was saying. Even after getting married, Xuedan still felt like she was still young and had just grown up.
***
After staying in the hospital for seven days, Lin Xi really couldn't stay there any longer.
I simply checked out of the hospital and went home to recuperate after giving birth.
Mother Wang stews chicken soup and pig’s trotter soup every day, which are very nourishing soups.
The medicine prescribed last time was very effective, but the previous two miscarriages, especially the first one, and the long soak in the seabed, no one in Erzhuang's family paid attention to this matter, so there was no timely conditioning and treatment, which left Lin Xi with a root cause of illness.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar year. After Chen Yan went to work, Lin Xi wanted to dress up for a rare occasion. She drove to Puluo Temple without telling anyone.
Puruo Temple is located on a high mountain, and the first hurdle for believers who come here is to climb eight thousand steps.
Was she here to burn incense and worship Buddha, or to pray for the Shen family to have many children and a long line of descendants?
His body had not recovered yet, and when he reached the 6,600th step, Lin Xi was out of breath and was now halfway up the mountain.
There was an osmanthus tree planted halfway up the mountain, and the tree was full of bright yellow osmanthus flowers. She put her hands together and worshiped devoutly.
Continue going up, 7,700 steps, 8,800 steps.
When standing in front of the Buddha, all the anxiety and worldly greed at that moment turned to ashes.
Lin Xi calmed down and finally didn't promise anything.
After donating a lot of money for incense, when going down the mountain, a butterfly followed Lin Xi all the way from the 8,800 steps to the 1,100 steps, circled Lin Xi, and flew away.
****

As the project progressed, Li Tian and Shen Yan spent more and more time together.
Li Tian has dated two boyfriends who were second-generation rich men, but this is the first time she has met such a top-tier second-generation rich man.
A family with a fortune of over 10 billion is considered wealthy, and Chen Yan is a top-tier wealthy family. Even though they know he has a wife at home, many women are still willing to throw themselves into his arms, even like moths to a flame.
"Mr. Shen will be home late tonight, Madam, you should go to bed early and don't wait for Mr. Shen." Aunt Wang conveyed Shen Yan's words truthfully to Lin Xi.
She has been feeling a little down and drained lately.
So whenever he came back late, Chen Yan would report it to him, also to take care of Lin Xi's feelings.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Looking at the moon outside the window, Lin Xi began to cry again.
My nose was blocked and I had to sit up.
I got out of bed, poured myself a glass of water, and drank it along with the remaining medicine.
The medicine was very effective. Within half an hour, Lin Xi felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
When Chen Yan came back, it was already late at night.
Lin Xi cooked this beef wonton herself tonight.
Chen Yan looked at the bowl of wonton on the dining table. He took the spoon and put a bowl of wonton in his mouth.
Cats’ hearing is always so sensitive. When Xiao Fu, who was sleeping, heard the sound, she came over and said, “Meow~”
Chen Yan bent down, stroked her gently, and made a "hush" gesture to Xiao Fu.
Xiao Fu was very smart and understood immediately. She shut her mouth, sat down, and then lay down at Shen Yan's feet.
He would eat her cooking, even if it wasn't very delicious.
The cicadas chirped continuously at midnight, and Chen Yan knew that Lin Xi was asleep.
I didn't want to wake her up.
So he slept in the next bedroom.
Lin Xi goes to bed early and wakes up early.
She woke up at daybreak.
Chen Yan was not in the room, probably in the bedroom next door.
He said he would go home, and he would go home! He never broke his promise!
However, he really did not break his promise.
He is right here.
Lin Xi let out a breath and his brows relaxed.
Climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Shen Yan.
He is the antidote, an antidote specifically for Lin Xi.
I slept soundly and didn't wake up until noon.
All the exhaustion in my body disappeared after a good sleep.
She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and said, "You should be going to work at this time, right?"
