Lin Xinyuan stayed in the hospital for a full two weeks before being discharged.
It was mainly Qin Nanfeng’s request, as he was worried about any accidents, so they observed her for a while longer.
Finally back home, she sat on the sofa, feeling a bit at ease.
Watching the little one sleeping soundly with a finger in its mouth, she couldn’t help but reveal a barely concealed smile.
Qin Nanfeng watched his young wife from the side without disturbing her.
Now, except for special circumstances, Lin Xinyuan treated him quite indifferently.
He sighed inwardly, comforting himself.
‘At least it’s much better than the beginning. She might even smile at me. I should be content…’
‘I just don’t know how long it will take for Xiaoyuan to return to her former shy and proactive self…’
‘Maybe less than a year, maybe… a lifetime…’
Qin Nanfeng wasn’t sure, but he definitely wouldn’t give up.
Even if that was the case, it would be fine… as long as he could grow old together with his Xiaoyuan, that was enough…
While pondering, Qin Nanfeng couldn’t help but think of the jade bracelet that had granted his wish and brought him back to the past.
It seemed to be in Lin Xinyuan’s hands.
But even though he thought about it, he no longer had any intentions.
‘After all, being able to live this life is already satisfying. Why pursue perfection?
‘It might even backfire…’
……
The days that followed seemed to return to normal.
Qin Nanfeng started going to the company early and returning late, while Lin Xinyuan, besides taking care of Xiao Yiyi at home, also needed to spend some time each day continuing to write and update.
After all, she had stopped updating for over three months.
If she didn’t update soon, the readers would probably start sending razors.
Luckily, Xiao Yiyi didn’t cry or fuss most of the time.
Only when she was hungry or needed to relieve herself did she let out loud cries.
Even Mother Lin, who occasionally came over to help take care of the child out of worry, said that Xiao Yiyi looked exactly like Lin Xinyuan when she was little.
Children sleep a lot; almost most of the day is spent sleeping.
In the afternoon, after coaxing the child to sleep, Lin Xinyuan began her own work.
After working for two hours, she first posted today’s update, then clicked into the comment section to take a look.
As expected, the comment section was practically overflowing compared to before, and even the private messages were the same, always showing 99, filled with complaints and demands for updates.
Some were condemning her, thinking she was good at dropping updates.
Why hadn’t she come back for so long, making them wait endlessly?
Others joked that they might wait from high school to college and still not see the next chapter.
Of course, there were still many loyal fans of Lin Xinyuan who were understanding, since life comes first.
So no matter what, although there were inexplicable people complaining, overall everyone was looking forward to her return.
After thinking it over, Lin Xinyuan opened a small chapter, briefly explaining the resumption of updates, and thanked the fans for their support, then uploaded it as well.
Soon, the news of her resuming updates caused quite a stir among the fan community.
Many reacted, mostly lamenting, with comments like “Recommended to be included in the ‘series to wait for a lifetime'”.
A certain online novel recommendation video blogger also slightly rode on the topic heat, and the video’s view count predictably increased.
The comment section was joyful, as if celebrating the New Year.
This was enough to show that this book had significant weight among its target readers.
Although for now, because she still had to take care of the child, she couldn’t return to the high-intensity updates of before, but most readers were already satisfied.
Some even speculated whether it was a scheme by “Ruyuan Laogou” to be lazy and just a self-directed act…
Anyway, there were inevitably some malicious guesses…
However, Lin Xinyuan paid no attention to this.
She just picked a few comments to reply to, proving her existence, and then ended the day’s work.
Afterward, she planned to make dinner while Xiao Yiyi was still asleep.
Because she still had to take care of the child, she bought groceries online in the morning.
Although the quality wasn’t great, it was passable.
By the time she was done, it was already dusk.
Just as she placed the dishes on the table and waited for someone to come back for dinner, the little one in the bedroom finally started crying.
Hearing the noise, Lin Xinyuan quickly ran into the room, immediately picked up Xiao Yiyi, and coaxed her while walking to the living room.
At first, she thought Xiao Yiyi needed to pee and was about to check the diaper.
But when she put her index finger near the little one’s mouth, Xiao Yiyi immediately started sucking on it, and she realized that the child was probably hungry.
As a new mother, although Lin Xinyuan couldn’t help but blush, she didn’t hesitate.
She lifted her top and bra and brought the child to her.
Xiao Yiyi had been crying, but soon her dark eyes sparkled, and she immediately latched on.
“Hiss…”
Even though this wasn’t the first time Lin Xinyuan had breastfed the child, she still felt that her daughter was too strong and caused her some pain.
But looking down at Xiao Yiyi’s satisfied expression, the trace of pain on her face disappeared, turning into indulgence and tenderness.
But just as she was feeding her daughter, the sound of a door opening and closing came from the entrance not far away.
Lin Xinyuan didn’t need to look to know who was back.
Seeing her current state, she instinctively panicked.
But in the end, she barely steadied her mind, maintained her expression, and spoke indifferently, “You’re back… Feng Ge…”
Qin Nanfeng returned from work.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of the food, and a warm, relaxed smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
But as he walked in and reached the living room, he was taken aback by the scene before him, especially as his gaze unconsciously lingered on Lin Xinyuan for a while.
After this period of recuperation, and due to Lin Xinyuan’s fast physical recovery, it could be said that there were almost no flaws left.
‘And even cuter…’
Thinking of this, Qin Nanfeng’s eyes dimmed, and he almost couldn’t control himself.
He took a deep breath, and upon hearing her words, he smiled and hummed in agreement.
Sensing the Yellow-Haired Brat’s gaze, Lin Xinyuan couldn’t help but feel shy.
After all, this was the first time she had breastfed in front of Qin Nanfeng.
Previously, she had always avoided this guy…
“If you’re hungry, eat first. I’ll eat later…” She continued to lower her head and said this expressionlessly.
However, Qin Nanfeng didn’t do as she expected upon hearing this.
Instead, he slowly walked over, took off his suit jacket, and sat down right beside her.
This instantly stirred even greater ripples in Lin Xinyuan’s emotions.
‘This guy… could he be thinking…’
‘Uh…’
Thinking this, she tried to move away from him in alarm, but the man immediately caught her slender, soft waist.
Qin Nanfeng casually placed his suit jacket on the back of the sofa.
Seeing his wife’s stiff posture, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“What are you running for? It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan’s heart trembled, and she lowered her head.
She didn’t believe a single word from this guy, but she didn’t say anything, just coldly turned her face away.
Forcing herself to suppress her emotions to prevent overreaction, she didn’t want her feelings to be influenced by “her”…
“I’ll eat when you do.” Seeing this, Qin Nanfeng sighed softly.
He didn’t provoke Lin Xinyuan’s emotions further, but quietly pulled his wife into his embrace.
“Whatever you want…” Lin Xinyuan trembled slightly, but didn’t refuse.
Instead, she leaned against Qin Nanfeng as before.
However, she didn’t notice that the man was now staring at the little thing in her arms that was drawing nourishment, looking thoughtful.
A glint of sharp light flashed in his eyes…
