I woke up to find I have a child - Chapter 98

“Beeep—-Beeep—” 

The buzzing sounds of the password being pressed into her door lock meant that someone was opening her front door. 

Shen Sangluo had just come out of the shower and was drying her hair when she heard the noise coming from her front door. 

Jiang Lingyan went on a business trip again yesterday. This time it was somewhere in the Shanxi province, not too far from Beijing, and she said she would be back within three days. 

Shen Sangluo was used to this. When Jiang Lingyan went on a business trip, she often said she wouldn’t be back for a few days only to come running back two days in advance. Every time she would hug Shen Sangluo tightly and cling onto her shamelessly while telling her how much she missed her and that she came back early to surprise Shen Sangluo. 

Then, a few days ago, during Lunar New Year, Jiang Lingyan inadvertently revealed that she felt that Shen Sangluo wasn’t romantic or proactive enough. Feeling worried, Shen Sangluo was wondering what she could do to prove herself. Now it seems that the perfect opportunity has arrived. 

The corners of her lips raised as an idea entered her mind. 

From the front door, and past the living room, the visitor walked straight towards the bedroom and pushed open the door. Only to find Shen Sangluo seductively lying on the bed, wearing a bathrobe that was so see-through she might as well not be wearing it and the collar was wide open. So when the visitor walked in, she was shocked silly on the spot. 

Shen Sangluo raised her eyes, a smile barely halfway on her face when her expression froze. 

And then—

“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Shen Sangluo almost performed a backflip on the spot as she jumped up and quickly wrapped herself in her blankets. She stammered, “Y-Y-You……HAN FEIXU! What on earth are you trying to do?!” 

After having her eyes shocked blind, Han Feixu was now having her ears shattered by Shen Sangluo’s high-pitched scream. A few seconds later, she put down the hands covering her ears and then patted her chest as if she had survived a great ordeal, “Why are you shouting? It’s not like I’m some pervert secretly breaking in.” 

But you are a pervert who walked in openly! 

Shen Sangluo’s face was almost as red as an apple, and Han Feixu’s eyes were filled with laughter. She sat down next to Shen Sangluo, who immediately moved a few centimeters back with a wary expression. 

“Sorry, I forgot to knock,” Han Feixu apologized sincerely and Shen Sangluo’s expression lightened just a little when Han Feixu teased, “But I never expected you to be so…open in bed?” 

Shen Sangluo: “…..”

Her face flushed even redder and finally, she yelled back, “If you have something to say, then spit it out! I don’t even care if you want to let out a fart or something else, just hurry up and then go!” 

The fact that Shen Sangluo resorted to using the word “fart” showed just how crazy she has been driven. Han Feixu cleared her throat and said seriously, “I want to stay here for one night, then I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

Shen Sangluo was confused,  “Why? Did you and Ye Mingxin fight?”

“No,” Han Feixu smiled, “but I’ve regained my memories.” 

Shen Sangluo’s eyes widened dramatically. This news was so shocking that she accidentally let go of her blanket in surprise, and had to quickly grab and wrap it around herself again. She moved a few inches forward, looking anxiously at Han Feixu, “You…… what are you thinking now?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean about you and Ye Mingxin!” Shen Sangluo panicked, “You’re not still thinking of getting a divorce, are you?”

Han Feixu looked at her leisurely, “If I recall correctly, last year you told me that Ye Mingxin is not a good person, not a qualified wife, nor a qualified mother, and deserves to be single for life. That any woman who marries her is courting disaster. After saying that, you even clinked shot glasses with me, and congratulated me on finally being cured of my long-time blindness.” 

Shen Sangluo: “….”

Damn, Han Feixu really did remember everything.

Shen Sangluo started to feel a little guilty and began to fidget with the bedsheets. But she quickly snapped out of it, “Wait a minute, what do you mean by saying all this? Are you really still going to divorce her? Feixu, can’t you reconsider? The wedding is about to happen, so if you talk about divorce now, I bet Ye Mingxin will try to jump off a building…”

Han Feixu looked down, smiling slightly, “No, she won’t.”

Shen Sangluo paused, “Won’t what?”

“She won’t jump off a building. Knowing her character, if I mention divorce, she’ll have a hysterical fight with me, and then immediately cancel the wedding. After that, she’ll either lock me up at home, not letting me go anywhere, or she’ll follow me everywhere day and night. In any case, she definitely won’t let me out of her sight.”

Shen Sangluo thought about it. Hmmm, it indeed sounded like something a paranoid person like Ye Mingxing might do…

She opened her mouth to persuade further but then moved closer to Han Feixu, examining her face from up close.

Han Feixu let her look, without changing her expression.

Shen Sangluo felt like she understood as she said firmly, “You don’t want to divorce.”

Han Feixu smiled slightly.

Feeling as if she had been deeply deceived, Shen Sangluo exclaimed, “Then why did you come here in the middle of the night?! You made me think…”

She was about to spill some personal secrets, so she abruptly stopped and said indignantly, “You’ve gotten addicted to scaring people, haven’t you?!”

Ignoring her, Han Feixu took off her socks, climbed into bed, and pulled over half of the blanket, “Enough, stop making trouble, I still have to get up early tomorrow.”

Shen Sangluo was taken aback. Such doting words, Han Feixu made it sound like she was a mistress raised outside! 

Wait a second. 

Whenever Han Feixu had a fight with Ye Mingxin, Shen Sangluo was the first one she would turn to. They scolded Ye Mingxin and ranted about her together until Han Feixu felt much better. Afterward, Han Feixu would buy her clothes or other gifts as a thank you, and sometimes, when she didn’t want to go home, Han Feixu would stay at her place, and would even cook meals for her. 

…Wait, doesn’t this seem like what two illicit lovers would do? 

Shen Sangluo grew furious at the thought but couldn’t just kick Han Feixu out at this hour, so she reluctantly lay back down. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, “Does Ye Mingxin know you went out of the house?”

“Yes.”

“Does she know you’re here with me?”

“No.”

Shen Sangluo was still puzzled, “Then why did you come here?”

Han Feixu had her eyes closed but opened them upon hearing this, and stared up at the dim ceiling, “Because I couldn’t stand it.”

Shen Sangluo turned towards her, waiting for further explanation.

“You saw how she treated me before I lost my memories. After I lost them, she changed immediately. No matter what she thought or did, it was all for my sake. If I showed even a slight hint of unhappiness, she would become excessively worried for me.” 

Han Feixu also looked at her, “If she had treated me like this before, would I have ever considered divorcing her?”

Shen Sangluo finally understood. It turns out Han Feixu was jealous of her amnesic self. 

“…..” 

After a beat of silence, she said coaxingly, “You can’t just look at her actions, look at yours too. Think about how you treated Ye Mingxin before you lost your memories. You almost treated her like a stranger, no, even worse than a stranger. She’s a dignified person, after all. After being rejected by you not just once or twice, she obviously wouldn’t dare to be nice to you afterward. It takes two to tango, and both of you are at fault. If you’re calling the kettle black, don’t forget about your own soot-covered stove.” 

Han Feixu chuckled, “I know, that’s why I’m going back tomorrow.”

“…So you just came out to scare Ye Mingxin? Aren’t you afraid you might scare the crap out of her?”

Having spent a lot of time with Jiang Lingyan, Shen Sangluo had also learned her style of speaking. Han Feixu turned over, “It’s fine, she’s much smarter than you and will figure it out.” 

Seeing Han Feixu’s back turned to her, Shen Sangluo pouted.

Ye Mingxin is smart, that’s true, and she didn’t disagree, but Han Feixu seemed to forget something: smart people can also be dumb when in love. The usual Ye Mingxin might be able to figure it out, but the current her is probably depressed beyond measure and was prepared to cry all night long. 

Shen Sangluo thought Han Feixu was turning over to sleep, but actually, she wasn’t. She still had her eyes open, recalling the expression Ye Mingxin had when she begged her to stay.

Ye Mingxin had begged her many times, but never did her begging make her feel as suffocating as today. Just the thought of her expression made Han Feixu’s heart ache.

She originally intended to make Ye Mingxin anxious for one night and then find her in the morning, but after much contemplation, she picked up her phone. After clicking on Ye Mingxin’s WeChat, she sent her a message. 

“Tomorrow at 7, come to Shen Sangluo’s place. Don’t drive your car here.”

After editing and then sending the message, Han Feixu felt a bit more relieved in her heart. She was willing to let Ye Mingxin stay anxious for a night, but she couldn’t bear to let her be truly upset for a whole night.

Having experienced that feeling herself, she didn’t want the person she loved to go through it too. Han Feixu curled up slightly and couldn’t help but smile. 

Suddenly, a slightly cold and smug voice rang out beside her, “Heh, I knew it.”

Han Feixu: “…”

After knowing that Han Feixu was at Shen Sangluo’s place, Ye Mingxin raised her head and looked around the room. Han Feixu had left without taking anything with her, not even Yiyi. This meant she was bound to return.

In an instant, Ye Mingxin’s heart, which felt as if it had been tightly wrung just moments earlier, finally eased a bit.

Han Feixu asked her to come over at seven, but she arrived at five in the morning and waited for an hour and a half in the car. At half past six, she got out of the car and told the driver to drive back home. 

Han Feixu also left Shen Sangluo’s house at this time, and the two met in the hallway. Han Feixu didn’t look surprised at all. She glanced at Ye Mingxin’s attire and frowned, “Why are you wearing so little?”

Ye Mingxin’s outfit wasn’t exactly thin, perhaps a little light, but the weather was warming up and it was perfectly fine to wear indoors.

Han Feixu frowned at her for a while, then turned back to punch in the code for Shen Sangluo’s door. After entering, she picked up a thick coat, but Ye Mingxin didn’t follow her into the apartment. She was still standing in the hallway when Han Feixu closed the door and handed the coat to her, “Take this, put it on.”

Ye Mingxin didn’t move.

Confused, Han Feixu extended the coat again, “Take it.”

On the hand offering the coat, there was a red diamond wedding ring adorning Han Feixu’s slender ring finger.

Ye Mingxin still didn’t accept the coat as she lifted her eyes to meet Han Feixu’s, “You still want me?”

Han Feixu paused, and after a moment, she withdrew her hand and sighed helplessly. She walked up to Ye Mingxin and helped her take off the coat she was already wearing before draping the thick coat over her, and motioning for her to slip her arms through the sleeves.

Ye Mingxin obediently did as she was told, and Han Feixu buttoned up the coat for her, then brushed off a piece of lint on Ye Mingxin’s chest. The latter pursed her lips, remaining silent but persistently waiting for Han Feixu’s answer.

After doing all this, Han Feixu wrapped her arms around Ye Mingxin’s waist, tilted her head back slightly, and leaned in. She kissed Ye Mingxin’s lips and just as she was about to pull away, she gently licked them.

Ye Mingxin’s eyes darkened and Han Feixu finally offered her a smile, identical to the one she had before losing her memory, “Yes, I do. And if anyone dares to compete with me for you, I’ll be furious with them.”
