Chapter 51 You, an outsider, should know your place.
Xie Yu'an felt terrible. He thought that his mother had always been very good to Niannian, which was why he was so upset.
In the end, An Cinian stayed in this bedroom, while Xie Yu'an went to see Xie Jiaye.
"Mom, please don't let anything happen to you, okay?" She held Lin Shu's hand tightly, refusing to let go. Lin Shu was perfectly fine when she looked at her today; the two of them even went shopping together, chatting and laughing. But now things have suddenly turned out like this.
Was it because of her appearance that her mother got hurt? Just like before, when Xie Yu'an was with her, these negative emotions suddenly rose in An Cinian's heart.
She couldn't help but start coughing. No, she had to control herself. She quickly shook her head to stay awake. She couldn't let her mind wander. She couldn't.
"Dad, is Mom's health really beyond repair?"
Xie Yu'an stood behind Xie Jiaye. He sighed. It is said that men do not shed tears easily, but Lin Shu is his lover, and he is very worried.
He had told Lin Shu to rest well, but she insisted on seeing Xiao Nian. She really liked Xiao Nian, and in her excitement, she played outside all afternoon, enduring the pain, which led to the onset of her illness.
She wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "You should hurry back to Beicheng. I'll take care of Mom."
Lin Shu woke up the next morning.
Opening her eyes and turning her head to the right, she saw An Cinian still slumped over the bed. A pale smile appeared on her face. What a silly child, just sitting here like that, isn't she afraid of catching a cold?
An image of An Cinian's little face flashed through her mind. She remembered many things about An Cinian. She felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw the child, and since her son liked him so much, she liked him even more.
He stroked An Cinian's face with his right hand; it was so soft. Sigh, he must have scared the little girl when he suddenly fainted; she even frowned in her sleep.
"Mom, you're awake! Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Seeing Lin Shu wake up, An Cinian was overjoyed. Before Lin Shu could speak, she began to blame herself, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Mom was sick. I must have been too clingy to Mom yesterday and didn't let you rest properly."
"...Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? I've been sick for over a year, how could it be your fault?" Lin Shu shook her head, denying An Cinian's self-blame.
She was stunned. It had been over a year. Had she been tormented by the illness for so long without realizing it?
"Mom, come back to Beicheng with us. Mom is from Beicheng. Let's go back, okay?" An Cinian held Lin Shu's hand, her eyes filled with fear, her voice urgent.
However, Lin Shu refused without even thinking. She couldn't go back. Beicheng was her home, and she wanted to be with her son and her family.
However, she also needs to atone for her mistakes. If it weren't for her mistakes, how could her best friend have gone mad and lost her mind overnight?
She deserved it.
An Cinian, trembling uncontrollably, grabbed Lin Shu's hand and said, "Then...then I won't go back to Beicheng. I'll stay in Nancheng and take care of you, okay, Mom?"
It's alright, if Lin Shu isn't going to Beicheng, then she'll stay here.
“Silly child, I’m fine. If you stay in the south, what will happen to your relatives and friends in the north? Grandpa hasn’t found them yet.”
Although she was in Nancheng, she knew some of what had happened to An Cinian. How could there be such awful parents in this world? An Cinian was their biological daughter, yet they treated her like this.
Some parents are truly unfit!
An Cinian fell silent. Yes, Grandpa hadn't been found yet, An Wenxin was the culprit, and An Ping hadn't been punished. She couldn't leave Beicheng.
The six years she was away were a deal between them. They threatened her, and she had to become stronger so that she would be qualified to return to Beicheng.
In the end, she was still tricked into returning to Beicheng, and that's how things went from there.
Holding Lin Shu's hand tightly, she looked completely lost and bewildered. What should she do? What should she do? Why couldn't there be a way to have the best of both worlds?
She had finally broken free from everything from the past, and Xie Yu'an was safe and sound, but she didn't know how to face this situation now.
"Mom, wife, why are you crying?"
Xie Yu'an had just opened the door and should have been happy to see his mother awake, but his wife was crying.
"Xiao Yu, you should go back to Beicheng tomorrow. Don't worry, with your father taking care of me, I'll be fine."
An Cinian shook her head; she didn't want to.
At An Cinian's request, they chose to stay in Nancheng for a week. In the end, if it weren't for the doctor's written guarantee that he just needed to rest, An Cinian would have wanted to stay longer.
Looking out the window, everything seems illusory and fleeting. What you gain is quickly gone, and the moment you gain something also means the moment you lose it. There is no way to have it all in this world.
Thinking about it, An Cinian also arrived home.
"Farewell!"
An Cinian turned her head and saw Lu Ye standing at her door.
Why is Kano here?
Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a gut feeling that a conflict was about to break out. She turned around and looked at Xie Yu'an behind her. Sure enough, Xie Yu'an's face was dark. She quickly grabbed Xie Yu'an's hand and signaled him not to act impulsively.
Xie Yu'an snorted, let go of her hand, then reached out and hugged An Cinian's slender waist with his right hand, and walked forward triumphantly until he reached Lu Ye.
"What, is something wrong?"
Lu Ye ignored Xie Yu'an's provocative gaze, his eyes fixed on An Cinian with some concern, and asked with concern, "Cinian, are you alright? Come back with me first."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand, seemingly wanting to take An Cinian away from this place.
However, this scene was somewhat amusing; it was blatant kidnapping!
Xie Yu'an reached out her left hand and shoved Lu Ye away. At the same time, she signaled to the bodyguards beside her to block Lu Ye from getting close to An Cinian.
"Lu Ye, An Cinian and I are already married. She is now my wife. You, an outsider, should know your place!"
His tone was firm and indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye looked at An Cinian with surprise and even worry. How could he be completely unaware of such an important matter!
An Cinian lowered her head and swallowed. She hadn't meant to keep it from Lu Ye; she just didn't know how to explain it to him. She hadn't expected Lu Ye to come looking for her like that.
"What are you all doing? Why don't you kick out an outsider?" Xie Yu'an was very unhappy, listening to the servants and bodyguards in his house. Why was he so easy to talk to?
Does anyone think they can just come and stay in this house?!
Everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to resist Xie Yu'an at all.
"Sir, we tried to persuade him, but it was really..."
"Butler Sun! After all these years, you should know what kind of person I am. I don't mind if you leave now," Xie Yu'an reprimanded sharply, his face full of disdain.
In his mind, it seemed that no one went in. These people were dispensable.
I must not anger this person at this time. I quickly signaled Lu Ye to leave first, afraid that if I said something wrong, Xie Yu'an would take action again.
She tugged at Xie Yu'an's hand, then turned to look at Lu Ye. "Lu Ye, I'm sorry, I'm already married to Xie Yu'an. I won't go with you."
