Chapter 62 Can't Hide
He was always calm and composed in front of outsiders, but now he was no longer calm.
When Lin Xi woke up, the sky was dim. It was afternoon, and the sunset at around five o'clock was beautiful.
She closed her eyes because she didn't want to see Chen Yan.
He demanded, "Whose child is it?"
"It's not yours anyway." Lin Xi said it with a tone of voice but with such certainty.
"Whose? Gu Qingheng's?"
"It's not yours." Lin Xi was already feeling a little down, and now she became even more annoyed by Chen Yan's question.
"You have a second man, how come I didn't know, huh?"
As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, Lin Xi felt a pain in her arm, and the next moment she was dragged up. Shen Yan grabbed her neck and said fiercely: "You have grown up."
Carrying his child in her belly and marrying Gu Qingheng, Shen Yan was so angry that she almost laughed.
Lin Xi and Shen Yan looked at each other and told Shen Yan: "Gu Qingheng and I are married. We have been husband and wife for a long time. Isn't it normal to have children?"
Lin Xi felt like her neck was about to be strangled and her breathing became increasingly difficult.
"Just kill me. I don't want to live anymore. I want to die with my child." Lin Xi said these words while gasping for breath.
A warm tear ran across Chen Yan's fingers.
Shen Yan was burned and slowly let go of his hand.
He took Lin Xi into his arms and asked her in a low voice: "I'll give you another chance. Whose child is it?"
Lin Xi was speechless for a long time, but she felt sad, her eyes were sore, and she couldn't help but cry.
After a while, Lin Xi said, "Gu, Qing, Heng."
"Good, what a great Gu Qingheng." Chen Yan smiled, even though he was heartbroken and extremely disappointed with Lin Xi.
He left.
Lin Xi sneered, "You really were fooled by me..."
Having lost children so many times, Chen Yan was unworthy of being the father of her child.
Many times, Lin Xi would blame Chen Yan for not being able to protect the child, blame Chen Yan for having affairs outside and eventually killing his child, and even feel that Chen Yan deserved it and hoped that Chen Yan would have no children or grandchildren in this life.
At the age of twenty-something, Lin Xi has become a resentful woman because of her marriage. She feels that she is pathetic.
When my mother came back from buying dinner, it was already dark.
There was no light on in the room. Lin Xi lay quietly on the hospital bed, looking at the twinkling neon lights outside the window.
"Xixi?" Xiuyun spoke cautiously. She was not sure whether her daughter was asleep or not.
"Yeah." Lin Xi looked at Xiuyun.
"I thought you were asleep, so I bought you dinner. It's some food that's good for pregnant women."
"Has Gu Qingheng been here?"
"He hasn't yet." Mom said in a lost tone.
Xiuyun doesn't know much about this new son-in-law.
"But Xiao Shen is here. Tell mom, whose child is this?" Xiuyun asked the point.
"Have you met Xiao Shen since the divorce?"
Lin Xi hesitated to speak.
Xiuyun just wanted to find out whether the child in Lin Xi's belly was Chen Yan's. "Speak up, Xixi, have you seen it?"
"No." It would be strange if he didn't. In the six months since my divorce, I've slept with him a few times.
As for when the thing in the belly was left, it was not the last time, but the time before that.
"Yeah." Xiuyun hoped that the grandson in her belly would be Chen Yan, but she also didn't want him to be Chen Yan.
After all, Lin Xi is not only divorced from Shen Yan, but also married to her current husband. If she is pregnant with her ex-husband's child, that would be bad!
…
Lin Xi put down her chopsticks after only two bites. She thought it was normal that Gu Qingheng didn't come.
It was also from then on that Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng became particularly polite to each other.
Gu Qingheng didn't even touch her.
Instead, she was very close to Shen Youzhen and Li Tian. Several times, when Gu Qingheng was taking a shower, the phone rang, and Lin Xi just glanced at it and saw that the caller ID was Li Tian. Shen Youzhen came to the house more frequently, and once he kissed Gu Qingheng on the face, Lin Xi just glanced at it and said nothing.
…
Soon her pregnant belly could no longer be hidden, and Mrs. Gu's attitude towards Lin Xi changed 180 times after she knew she was pregnant.
He often came to take care of her, asked about her diet and daily life, and his words were not as sharp as before.
Lin Xi thought that if Madam Gu knew that this child was not of the Gu family's bloodline but was Shen Yan's child, she would probably kick her out of the house immediately.
Once, Gu Qingheng got drunk and said a lot of drunken talk and love words.
People often speak the truth after drinking. His tone was blaming her, and every word he said was about how Chen Yan was better than him.
Not a single word mentions Chen Yan, yet every word is related to Chen Yan.
Seeing that Mr. Gu, who usually looked so aloof, also looked so sad and dejected, Lin Xi felt inexplicably distressed.
I made him some hangover soup, and Gu Qingheng drank it.
He seemed to be much more sober, and said to Lin Xi: "If I had met you earlier, would the ending be different?"
"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world."
"So, it's not your fault." Even at this time, Gu Qingheng was still making excuses for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes.
At this moment, apologies turned into tears and burst out.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Under the moonlight, Lin Xi suppressed her emotions and looked at the man sitting on the sofa rubbing his head.
He stood up, walked towards her and took her in his arms.
The two hearts finally came closer, and all the bad things that happened before were resolved in the moment of hugging.
"It's not you who should say sorry, but me. Honey, I'm sorry." Gu Qingheng's words were unclear.
Lin Xi didn't care too much at first.
Because, what comes with it is business trip.
Busy, busy every day.
I met Chen Yan on the second day of my business trip, still at a party.
This circle is too small, and people in the circle can be bumped into at any time. This really gives Lin Xi a headache.
Lin Xi left first under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan followed.
"Avoiding me?"
Women should take a detour.
But when passing by Shen Yan, he grabbed her wrist.
"Don't you realize there's no one here, it's quiet and peaceful, just right?"
“???” Lin Xi was confused by Chen Yan’s words.
Until he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Lin Xi understood.
The man's palm touched her slightly bulging belly and asked her again: "Is it mine?"
The woman still said: "No!"
It doesn’t matter. Chen Yan has been thinking about Lin Xi for a long time.
"Baby, I will be very gentle, very gentle..." The man said playfully in Lin Xi's ear.
Like a ship drifting on the waves, with surging waves and strong winds and heavy rain, the ship finally sinks to the bottom of the sea... and is shattered into pieces.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day.
Last night was so crazy that Lin Xi couldn't handle it at all.
It was in the hotel room during the party. It seemed to be the second time that Chen Yan brought her back to the room.
I looked around and saw the clock on the wall. It was already eleven o'clock...
Lin Xi suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly looked for his cell phone.
As soon as I turned on my phone, there were countless missed calls...
I was originally scheduled to meet with a partner today...
"Chen Yan, it's all your fault." Lin Xi complained to Chen Yan and called back.
The person from my company said, "Boss, the project has been completed."
"What..." Lin Xi's voice was weak and hoarse. This was also strange to Chen Yan.
"Ah, boss, what's wrong with you...is your throat uncomfortable?" Wang Xiao asked.
Lin Xi tried to speak in a normal voice, "No. Why would the other party agree to this for no reason?"
"I don't know either. They said we're a long-established company and trustworthy. We also have a good reputation in Beijing North, so we started working together right away."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
The flimsy dress had been torn and was now completely unwearable.
So Lin Xi called the front desk and bought a new set of clothes.
After hurriedly leaving the hotel, Lin Xi returned to the car and called Chen Yan.
The call was connected quickly.
"What's the matter?" His voice was unnaturally cold, completely different from the man last night.
"Is it you, the cooperation you reached?"
"Yes, I won't sleep with you in vain."
Lin Xi hesitated to speak, only to hear Chen Yan say again: "You worked hard last night."
"...You bastard!" Lin Xi felt humiliated.
He hung up Shen Yan’s phone call directly.
Then I felt upset, but now that I’m sober, I feel regretful and annoyed about what happened last night.
It’s the third night of my business trip, and I’ll be back in Beijing tomorrow.
Shen Yan took the room card and entered Lin Xi's room.
Then the woman had to obey him.
The next morning, Chen Yan tortured Lin Xi again.
The two of them stayed close to each other until the afternoon, and only after they had had enough did they let Lin Xi go.
In the evening, Lin Xi returned to Jingbei City.
The first thing she did was to go home because Mrs. Gu didn't allow her to go home too late.
Since she became pregnant, if Lin Xi hadn't been the president of Lin Group, Mrs. Gu would have asked her to stay at home and concentrate on taking care of the baby.
When I got home, as expected, I saw Shen Youzhen again.
There were some changes on Shen Youzhen's face, and at first glance Lin Xi thought he saw himself.
According to the slight adjustments to her facial features, Lin Xi didn't know what to say.
If you have nothing to say, then don't say anything.
Carrying Xiaofu, I went straight upstairs.
I was worried about Xiaofu being alone with her.
Lin Xi was too tired and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
Late at night, I heard a passionate confession from the next door, "Brother, I have always liked you. You like my sister-in-law, okay, I will become your sister-in-law."
The desperate Shen Youzhen was ready to completely copy Lin Xi.
Now it is only 60% similar, it needs to be 90% or even 100%.
Lin Xi simply pulled up the quilt, covering her head, not wanting to listen. Because, could it be that only the governor was allowed to set fires but the people were not allowed to light lamps?
The next morning, Lin Xi didn't dare to look into Qingheng's eyes.
Maybe he was just feeling guilty.
Gu Qingheng smiled and asked, "What happened on the business trip?"
He discovered the clue, and Lin Xi used all her life's acting skills to say, "No."
Very calm, so calm that there is not a single flaw.
"Um."
After dinner, Lin Xi left and drove to work.
In the evening, I returned to Gu's house.
Tonight, my mother is here.
This is my mother's first time here.
Then came Shen Youzhen. Xiuyun looked at him curiously and whispered to Lin Xi, "Is it plastic surgery?"
"My mother-in-law's goddaughter." Lin Xi introduced.
When Lin Xi and Shen Yan were together before, there was no mother-in-law.
She doesn't have to deal with her mother-in-law's interpersonal relationships, nor does she have to find ways to integrate into the Shen family. Because there are not many people in the Shen family, and Lin Xi is married alone, Lin Xi doesn't know any of the Shen family's relatives, let alone get along with them.
"Sister-in-law, this is your mother, right?" Shen Youzhen said.
"Yes." Lin Xi said without expression.
"Mrs. Lin is so beautiful." Shen Youzhen felt that he did not look like Lin Xi, but he lacked a mother to be Lin Xi.
"You too, so beautiful." Xiuyun felt that it was not Shen Youzhen who was beautiful, but Shen Youzhen's face that was beautiful.
"You are Madam Gu's daughter. How come I have never heard that Madam Gu has a daughter?"
Shen Youzhen was stunned and said unhappily, "I am a goddaughter."
"Oh." Lin's mother is very good at appreciating tea.
It was obvious that Shen Youzhen had ill intentions towards Gu Qingheng.
"It's getting late. If you, a little girl, go home too late, your parents will be worried. Now is the time, I'll find someone to take you home."
"I'm not going back. I'm waiting for Brother Qingheng."
"How can that be possible?"
"Besides, you didn't go back either." Shen Youzhen said bluntly.
"I'm not going back. I'm staying here tonight."
"you."
"What do you mean, Youzhen? It's getting late. Auntie is doing this for your own good." The Gu family members called by Xiuyun pushed Shen Youzhen out.
Lin Xi watched the whole process and now she is simply clapping and cheering.
Sometimes she felt that this was Shen Youzhen's home, but she was too lazy to fight with Shen Youzhen, so she didn't like to pay attention to her, and she didn't make trouble.
After a while, Xiuyun came back from outside again, and Lin Xi silently gave her a thumbs up.
"There is only one good mother in the world. I hope I can take care of my unborn baby like my mother does."
Tonight, Lin Xi had a sweet dream. It was about eight thousand eight hundred steps and a boy running towards her.
Yes, the whole mountain is full of osmanthus flowers in bloom, they are golden and so noble!
During pregnancy, I feel sleepy, have a poor appetite, and get tired easily.
After two months of working, Lin Xichun focused on taking care of her pregnancy at home.
Xuedan, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, called when she heard that Lin Xi was pregnant.
"Congratulations, you'll soon be like me." Xuedan now coaxes the child morning and night, during the day and at night. Sometimes when she's too tired or sleepy, Chen Jialian coaxes her.
A child of more than three months old kept the two adults busy.
You don’t know until you raise a child that it is not easy to raise a child.
"I feel like my mom is so amazing. She raised me and my brother."
"Really?" Lin Xi was still looking forward to it. After all, she loved children, and now her wish had finally come true.
After talking to Xuedan on the phone for a while, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to be busy!
I have arranged all the work for the second half of the year and will not be able to come to the company for a long time afterwards.
From early spring to the beginning of summer, Lin Xi's belly grew bigger day by day, and she and Gu Qingheng got along quite well. Even though their most intimate gesture was holding hands, kissing was rare, almost non-existent.
Even if it's a kiss, it's on the forehead.
However, since the beginning of summer, Lin Xi has discovered that Gu Qingheng has been catching colds frequently.
The cold was healed, but within two days, he caught another cold. In fact, it was already in early spring, but Lin Xi didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and Gu Qingheng didn't catch colds as frequently as now, sneezing every few days and having a low-grade fever.
