Chapter 313 Hurry back to Nancheng
The rest of the process was easy to handle, and Shen Feiwan and Lin Xiaoyan left the hospital in no time.
Unlike when he arrived, Lin Xiaoyan's attitude had changed significantly.
In Shen Feiwan's view, his gentleness and kindness were always just a pretense, but when she looked up at this moment, she was suddenly struck by the softness in his eyes.
Even the curve of his eyebrows was filled with unadorned joy, seemingly the genuine elation of becoming a father for the first time.
It was a softness she had never seen before.
No, I think I've seen it before.
A long time ago, when she still liked him.
Lin Xiaoyan helped Shen Feiwan into the car and gently fastened her seatbelt. The moment the seatbelt was buckled into the buckle, he suddenly lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on Shen Feiwan's forehead.
Shen Feiwan did not dodge, and this tacit consent emboldened the man, who brushed his nose against her cheek and moved downwards.
But just as her lips were about to touch Shen Feiwan's, she turned her head away abruptly, glancing sideways at his astonished expression, a cold smile curving her lips. "Don't you find it ironic? Just a few hours ago you suspected I was pregnant with a bastard's child."
"Stop it, Wanwan." Lin Xiaoyan's voice was coaxing as he gently placed his hand on her still flat stomach. "It's not good for the baby to hear that."
She brushed his hand away, her tone casual yet barbed, "But I'm very unhappy today. The doctor said that a pregnant woman's bad mood might lead to a miscarriage. What should I do?"
The car was cramped, and Lin Xiaoyan felt uncomfortable hunched over, so he knelt down on one knee and took Shen Feiwan's hand in his.
He looked up at Shen Feiwan, his fingertips tracing the ring on her ring finger, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke, "Wanwan, we have a child, our child. I know I was wrong before, you must protect our child, I will do everything I can to make you happy."
Shen Feiwan ignored him.
Helpless, Lin Xiaoyan tried a different approach to coax him, "How about this Friday? You can go visit Shen Xubai then."
Upon hearing about her older brother, Shen Feiwan turned her head and asked, "It's only Monday, can we hurry up a bit?"
“That’s already the fastest.” Lin Xiaoyan frowned slightly, but after seeing the fleeting urgency in her eyes, he reached out and gently ruffled her hair. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on things and make sure there won’t be any problems.”
Shen Feiwan knew it wasn't the right time to urge him, lest she offend him and make him angry, so she simply uttered two words, "Let's go."
Lin Xiaoyan lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, then got up, closed the car door, and went to the driver's seat.
The car slowly drove away from the hospital. Lin Xiaoyan gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Shen Feiwan out of the corner of his eye. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch? Japanese food, Hunan cuisine, or Huaiyang cuisine, which you mentioned before? Which one would you like to try?"
He paused, his smile widening. "By the way, do you prefer a boy or a girl? We should start thinking about names for the baby."
Shen Feiwan didn't actually want to discuss having children with Lin Xiaoyan; she and he wouldn't have any children.
However, she also understood that she couldn't create conflict; she had to ensure that Lin Xiaoyan could successfully help her visit her older brother.
She chuckled softly and replied in a deliberately gentle tone, "No rush with the name, take your time, and come up with a few options later. As for food, let's have Huaiyang cuisine, something light."
Her tone was natural, and her words conveyed her anticipation for this new life.
Lin Xiaoyan glanced at her profile, a smile blooming on his lips. "You seem to be in a good mood. You're not angry with me anymore?"
"Mmm." Shen Feiwan responded softly, rubbing her temples and showing a hint of weariness as she changed the subject, "I'm just a little sleepy."
"Then you can take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get there." Lin Xiaoyan considerately adjusted the car's air conditioning and slowed down the car.
This suited Shen Feiwan perfectly; she no longer needed to deal with him.
After eating out, Shen Feiwan still made an excuse that she was sleepy and went straight to her room to rest.
However, Shen Feiwan had only been lying down for a short time when Lin Xiaoyan came in.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Shen Feiwan's hair that was scattered on the pillow with his fingertips. "There's an urgent matter at the company, I have to go out."
Shen Feiwan originally only wanted to give a perfunctory reply, but remembering that her older brother's matter was still hanging in the balance, she turned back and took his hand: "Will you come back tonight?"
"I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, then leaned down and kissed Shen Feiwan. "I really don't want to be separated from you, but the company needs me."
"Then go ahead and go. Anyway, I'll stay at home and won't go anywhere."
"So nice."
"Ah."
Shen Feiwan only got out of bed after hearing Lin Xiaoyan leave.
She stood behind the curtains, watching the Maybach drive away, before picking up her phone and dialing Chen Youen's number.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Youen's voice came through, "How is it? Nothing went wrong, right?"
……
Meanwhile, inside the presidential suite of the InterContinental North City Hotel.
Bo Junxing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his brows furrowed. "It turns out that something happened to her family during this time, and she had no choice but to rely on Lin Xiaoyan."
Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhou jumped up from the sofa, his eyes behind his glasses filled with worry. "You're still thinking about her?"
Song Yanzhou was genuinely worried for his good friend. "She slapped you in public at the wedding, and you still won't give up? Don't be foolish! Beicheng is the Lin family's territory; we can't interfere in her brother's affairs at all!"
He grabbed his suit jacket from the coffee table. "It's already the tenth of the month. I was planning to go back after the wedding on the eighth and get back to work. I should be focusing on the company. But you've kept me here until now. I don't care anymore. I'm booking a plane ticket right now. You pack your things and that woman is done!"
Seeing that Bo Junxing remained silent, he simply took out his phone and said, "If you don't object, I'll take that as your consent!"
