Chapter 373: Warmth
Chapter 373: Warmth
In the Afternoon, the matter of their daughter encountering that person, Lin Xinyuan had not told anyone including Qin Nanfeng.
But even though she did not say it, the Man already understood it in his heart and noticed something was wrong.
In fact, when she brought their daughter back, Qin Nanfeng had caught that trace of worry and complexity on her face, but he did not ask on the spot.
At night, after coaxing Qin Yiyi to sleep, Lin Xinyuan returned from the neighboring room to her own room, more accurately, the room she now shared with Qin Nanfeng.
This place carried the memories of the two of them over these ten years…
Seeing that someone was still sitting at the Desk, typing away on a laptop, looking serious about work, she did not go over to disturb him, but directly went back to Bed to prepare for sleep.
But although it was already past 11, her usual biological clock seemed to have no effect at all, leaving her mind somewhat messy now.
When she thought of what happened this Afternoon, she felt an inexplicable discomfort, wanting very much to sleep, yet she still found it hard to fall asleep.
It was not that she felt bad for that person; after all, he was not worth it…
Rather, it was that sentence Xiao Yiyi had said, which made her involuntarily think of the figure deep in her memory.
Even though so many years had passed, she still could not help missing the days when Grandmother was still alive.
Grandmother’s every smile and every expression, playing with her when she was young and tender, every laughing scene…
As her thoughts surged, unconsciously, Lin Xinyuan thought again of the scene of the last time she saw Grandmother before her illness took her.
At that time, Grandmother was not even 60 years old…
So sometimes she wondered, if her Grandfather had not had that accident, what would things have been like?
Perhaps it would not have caused harm to Mother, nor would it have let her Grandmother die of grief; even so, there was a high probability she herself would not have appeared in this world.
Unfortunately… there is no if…
At this moment, Lin Xinyuan curled up under the covers, her head covered.
Gangnan City’s winter was icy with dampness; because her own constitution was relatively cold, it took a while before the bed was barely warmed.
Yet she still felt inexplicably cold all over; her long lashes trembled, and her pink lips quivered.
“Grandmother… Xiao Yuan… I miss you so much…”
Her voice was very small, almost as faint as a mosquito’s.
Clearly Lin Xinyuan herself would be 29 years old in less than an hour, and was the mother of a child, yet at this moment she was as fragile as a child, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
At the same time, “she” unknowingly invaded her mind, but this time it seemed different; “she” seemed able to feel her emotions, producing a different resonance, making tears well up in Lin Xinyuan’s eyes uncontrollably.
The pain from her head was still within a tolerable range, and memories, like turning pages, continuously surfaced those bits and pieces.
Grandmother… do you see…
Xiao Yuan… is… very happy now…
Do not worry about me anymore…
As she thought, a clear tear involuntarily slid from the corner of Lin Xinyuan’s eye.
She knew this was inexplicable; for herself, who was about to turn 30, it was far too fragile.
It had clearly been so long…
But an important elder, or someone once close.
After that person has passed away for many years, apart from feeling secret pain when you occasionally think of them, you do not show any sorrow in daily life, and may even gradually forget.
But one day, by chance, when you touch upon some memory related to them, people often cannot control their emotions and want to cry or make a scene.
Simply because they once brought you warmth, and you suddenly realize you have completely lost that feeling, it is inevitable to feel pain…
But just as Lin Xinyuan was still sunk in thoughts and memories, sobbing softly and unable to free herself.
At some point, a pair of large hands quietly wrapped around her slender, soft waist.
The movement made Lin Xinyuan’s whole body suddenly shudder violently, and her mind gradually returned.
She suddenly realized then that the light had been turned off at some point, but she had been lost in memories and had not noticed, and she immediately knew it was That Guy.
Instantly, Lin Xinyuan’s tears and sobs were immediately suppressed.
Qin Nanfeng merely silently slipped under the covers and held her in his arms.
When his tall, scorching body pressed against her back, the warmth seemed to instantly dispel all the cold from her body.
This made her body involuntarily shrink back from the huge temperature difference.
“You… when did you get into bed… did you hear…”
Uh…
After Lin Xinyuan had fully calmed down, her little face could not help but flush red. She bit her pink lips, remembering her earlier crying and even murmuring
to herself, not knowing whether this person had heard it, feeling extremely ashamed.
“Mm… I heard it all…”
Qin Nanfeng chuckled twice. The clear laughter reverberated through his broad, warm chest into Lin Xinyuan’s ears, making her body tremble slightly again, and her mood gradually became embarrassed.
Just as she thought this guy would say some messy words to tease her and use that to beg for that kind of thing, and she had even prepared herself, someone made no ambiguous move at all.
The Man turned her over, still holding her, and deeply embraced her, letting her face rest against his chest, without letting his hands wander.
After a long while, while her face was red, Lin Xinyuan finally could not hold back her confusion, but someone’s large hand suddenly stroked her head.
As if soothing an injured kitten, his movements were unbelievably gentle, again and again, rubbing her fluffy little head, as if he could never touch it enough.
This guy… wu…
As this guy’s movements gradually made her whole body numb, a hint of sweetness unknowingly rose in Lin Xinyuan’s heart.
That was her love for him, and the joy of him understanding her without anything needing to be said; all of this was enough to make her overjoyed.
Chou Zhanan… mm…
As expected, he is so good at making me happy…
Then… will he use these in the future to make other girls happy..
Thinking this, the gloom in Lin Xinyuan’s heart gradually faded, and “she” also temporarily left, then completely turned into a sudden sourness.
She suddenly could not help thinking: if in the future, when she grew old, this guy went to find a young, pretty girl, what would she do…
Although she knew this thought of hers was truly unlikely, after all, how could Feng Ge be that kind of person!
But better safe than sorry; her mind was already fragile and sensitive, and she still could not help overthinking.
Thus, she could not help but hum softly, reached out her soft little hand and lightly pounded her Husband, her tone rarely carrying a hint of coquettishness, but she pretended to be cold: “Hmph… damn scumbag…”
Hearing his little Wife’s sudden inexplicable insult, Qin Nanfeng found it very funny in his heart, as if he understood what Lin Xinyuan was thinking, and could not help wanting to laugh.
Xiaoyuan… getting jealous already…
So cute…
In fact, he had no intention of suppressing his laughter at all
“You… what are you laughing at!” Confused by the Yellow-Haired Brat’s laughter, Lin Xinyuan felt dissatisfaction rise in her heart and grew somewhat angry.
“Mm… I was thinking, Xiaoyuan is so childish, still like a child… feels not much different from Xiao Yiyi, and I already have enough trouble taking care of her…”
Qin Nanfeng paused slightly here, then continued with a frivolous smile, “So, how would I have time to think about taking care of other young girls? Heh…”
As soon as these words came out, after being stunned for a moment, the heat on Lin Xinyuan’s face grew even stronger.
For a moment, she did not know whether to say this guy was a worm in her belly, or that they had a telepathic connection.
“Mm… how would I know… get lost… I’m going to sleep…”
She stopped talking and awkwardly tried to break free from his arms, but it was clearly just a bluff.
Qin Nanfeng naturally understood. He neither spoke nor let go, only letting his little Wife quietly nestle in his arms.
Warmth here…
