After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 15

The baffled Lin You kept sneaking little glances at the elegant woman wearing sunglasses and radiating a powerful aura. I bought those sunglasses, Lin You thought, carrying the bags as she followed behind, her lips pouting in grievance.

A woman’s heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. So hard to understand.

The two walked one in front and one behind. Lin You’s hands were full of shopping bags in all kinds of styles. Every time Fu Xinran entered a store, she would glance around and casually point twice. Before she could even take out her card, Lin You would sensibly hurry forward to pay.

This was probably what they called the three kinds of accompaniment: accompanying her while she cried, accompanying her while she made a fuss, and accompanying her while she shopped.

As for how much money she had swiped, Lin You still completely did not care. She had already become Buddhist about it. It was all just numbers.

Besides, the fertile water was not flowing into outsiders’ fields. She was supporting her own family’s businesses, and the money would come back by the end of the year anyway.

With a cold, beautiful face, Fu Xinran bought the last men’s tie. Seeing that Lin You could no longer carry anything else, she reluctantly stopped and prepared to return home.

Lin You quietly breathed a sigh of relief and silently wiped sweat for herself in her heart. It was finally over.

“Ranran, I saw a newly opened restaurant. Why don’t we eat outside tonight?” Lin You’s hands were both filled with shopping bags. Since they had gone shopping, the day would not feel complete unless they ate outside too.

Fu Xinran glanced at her from behind the sunglasses and nodded.

Lin You brought Fu Xinran to the Loft Restaurant on the third floor. Coincidentally, there were not many people right now, so they could sit on the viewing platform and overlook the sky garden inside the mall.

The scenery was pleasant and full of greenery. Looking from their side, there were pavilions, terraces, artificial hills, and waterfalls.

“Ranran, sit here and rest for a while. I’ll go put these things in the car, okay?” Lin You asked for Fu Xinran’s opinion.

Fu Xinran nodded but remained silent, her pretty face cold and tense.

Lin You felt that Fu Xinran was probably too embarrassed to admit it. After all, she was like a fairy, yet she had cried in public.

Of course she was angry from embarrassment. She could not be angry at herself, so she could only be angry at someone else. And Lin You just happened to be that someone else.

Lin You carried the shopping bags back to the car. Just after putting everything away and preparing to close the car door, she turned around and almost kicked out.

“Phew. Why are you standing behind me?” Lin You took a deep breath and looked unhappily at the person standing behind her.

Xie Bao’er pouted and said stickily, “Sister Lin, you haven’t eaten with me in so long, but today you’re eating with her.”

Xie Bao’er said it meaningfully. Lin You really could not stand Xie Bao’er acting clingy and spoiled like this. Her head hurt, and the hairs on her back stood up. Although she often comforted herself that they were all women, so what was there to be afraid of?

Moreover, Xie Bao’er had a loli-like face, fair and tender skin, and looked like a minor. She was only around 1.7 meters tall, soft and delicate, and looked very cute.

But perhaps if she took hers out, it might be bigger than Lin You’s. Thinking of this, Lin You could not help getting goosebumps all over. Forgive her for having little experience. She could not handle a fierce Alpha acting spoiled.

Lin You shuddered. “Well, um, speak properly. Don’t twist around like that. It’s bad for the company’s image.”

Xie Bao’er let out a delicate humph and looked around. Seeing that no one was nearby, she still stood properly. Then she pitifully looked at Lin You, determined to get an answer from her.

“System, organize the original body’s memories related to Xie Bao’er for me,” Lin You said inwardly while maintaining her seriousness. She prayed in her heart that things would not be what she imagined. She could not handle that kind of situation.

The system quickly organized the memory fragments related to Xie Bao’er, and Lin You rapidly skimmed through them.

She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. So that was how it was.

Xie Bao’er was four years younger than the original body. Because her appearance was too delicate and weak, not matching the image of a female Alpha, she had been bullied a lot since childhood and had always felt inferior.

From the scattered information, it seemed that when Xie Bao’er was bullied as a child, the original body had once saved her and often comforted her, telling her not to care about her appearance.

Later, under Xie Bao’er’s father’s intentional invitations, the original body gradually became familiar with Xie Bao’er. The original body had always treated her like a younger sister.

To Xie Bao’er, who had been saved by Lin You, Lin You had always been like a god. It was not love, just pure worship and closeness.

She knew Lin You had not wanted to get married, so when she saw Fu Xinran, she would target and provoke her, hoping Fu Xinran would quickly know her place and get divorced.

However, in the original plot, Xie Bao’er only existed in other people’s memories. She was even more cannon fodder than cannon fodder and had never appeared directly. When the original body’s company went bankrupt, this person had not appeared either.

Lin You could not help thinking about what connection there might be.

She was gradually discovering that the plot she knew and reality were full of question marks.

“Xie… Bao’er, today I came shopping with your Sister Fu. It’s not easy for me to spend time with her. Next time.” Lin You had originally wanted to call her General Manager Xie, but seeing that the person opposite her was about to cry, she could only say this name that was not very easy for her to call.

Xie Bao’er had originally thought that Sister Lin was distancing herself and no longer calling her Bao’er. She had felt so upset she almost cried. Hearing Sister Lin’s explanation, she barely felt less wronged.

Xie Bao’er sniffed and asked with disbelief, “Sister Lin, are you and Sister Fu really together now? Aren’t you afraid of her anymore?”

Lin You blinked in confusion. “I’ve always been together with her. She’s my wife. Why would I be afraid? Listen less to the rumors outside. In the past, I was just too busy with work and rarely had time to accompany her. Go back to work quickly. I’ll invite you to eat next time.”

“Oh.” Xie Bao’er answered faintly, clearly not believing her. She reluctantly waved at Lin You and turned back to work. Otherwise, Sister Lin would think she only took a salary without doing any work.

But she did not want to go back and face that cold-blooded demon. Wu, that person only knew how to make her work and did not give her even a little time to rest.

Thinking of the cold-blooded secretary outside her office, Xie Bao’er wanted to turn back and ask Lin You whether she could join them for dinner.

But Lin You had already quietly slipped away. If she stayed any longer, her favorability rating would be in danger again.

Xie Bao’er turned around and looked everywhere. There was only the empty parking garage. Dejected, she turned back and left.

When Lin You rushed back to the restaurant, Fu Xinran had already ordered. She casually handed over the menu and asked, “Take a look. Do we need to add anything?”

Lin You glanced at it and shook her head. There were already four or five dishes, more than enough.

Lin You raised her hand and called the server over, asking softly, “Are there any dishes here that pregnant women shouldn’t eat?”

“No, guest. Only the chrysanthemum tea leans toward cooling properties. I can change the chrysanthemum tea for you, if that’s all right?” the server explained carefully.

Lin You nodded and thanked her with a smile. The server shook her head, indicating that it was what she should do.

Fu Xinran had already taken off her sunglasses. She tilted her head and quietly looked at the garden downstairs. The layout was layered and orderly, exquisite yet grand. The tropical plants were full of green vitality.

Seeing that Fu Xinran did not want to speak, Lin You could only stay quiet too. She took out her phone and routinely checked her emails.

She absolutely did not dare read novels anymore. If she transmigrated again, she would not be able to take it.

Fortunately, the food was served fairly quickly, breaking the deadlock between them. Lin You also relaxed a lot.

“Ranran, drink some soup first to warm your stomach.” Lin You saw that the first dish served was winter melon used as a soup vessel. Auspicious patterns were carved on the outside, and inside were eight kinds of ingredients. It was also called Eight Treasures Winter Melon Soup. Its presentation was beautiful.

The soup was clear and pale, the winter melon tender and soft. The taste was fresh and fragrant, paired with all kinds of ingredients. It tasted very good, whetting the appetite without being greasy.

Lin You ladled a bowl for Fu Xinran and placed it in front of her.

“Thank you,” Fu Xinran said softly.

“No need to thank me.” Lin You happily took the conversation. As long as she was willing to talk, that was good.

The following hot dishes were brought to the table one after another. Lin You busied herself eating while also placing food into Fu Xinran’s bowl.

This time, Fu Xinran did not have to pick up food for herself at all. She was constantly being fed and could only work hard to eat.

Lin You placed the last piece of crispy roasted pork into Fu Xinran’s bowl. The crispy roasted pork had golden crispy skin alternating with the pale meat underneath. Its texture was excellent—crisp, fragrant, and sweet, without the slightest greasiness.

Fu Xinran only looked at it once before nausea surged in her heart. She immediately grabbed the tissue beside her, wanting to vomit.

Lin You put down her chopsticks and stood up, walking to Fu Xinran’s side. She asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Does the dish smell fishy?”

Fu Xinran waved her hand. She truly could not suppress the nausea in her stomach. She turned around, pulled open the door, and walked outside.

The server waiting outside the private room saw Fu Xinran covering her mouth and Lin You following one after another toward the restroom. She was a little confused, but still raised her hand to close the door and wait for the two to return.

Outside the restroom, Lin You could not go in and could only wait anxiously at the entrance.

Fu Xinran could not help vomiting out everything she had just eaten. A kindhearted Omega even quietly asked outside the door whether she needed help.

Fu Xinran had no time to answer. Another wave of nausea attacked her, and she vomited endlessly. In the end, she leaned against the stall partition, miserable and disheveled, her eyes red and feeling extremely wronged.

Lin You anxiously paced in circles outside the Omega restroom, gripping her phone tightly.

Thinking of something, she immediately called Xie Bao’er. Her tone was urgent and serious. “Bao’er, immediately send two tight-lipped, gentle female Omegas to the restroom at the corner of Building B on the third floor. Be quick.”

Xie Bao’er happily answered Lin You’s call, but before she could speak, she was given a long string of instructions.

Standing opposite her was a woman in a black women’s suit, with black-rimmed glasses perched on her nose. One look was enough to tell she was a shrewd, capable, and decisive career woman. Her gaze pierced like a sword into her superior standing opposite her.

Under that oppressive gaze, Xie Bao’er tremblingly put away the phone, licked her lips, and faced her assistant’s expression of “Let me see what excuse you can come up with.”

Xie Bao’er quickly said, “Assistant Hu, it was President Lin’s call. Today, she came to the mall with Sister Fu. President Lin requests two amiable, tight-lipped female Omegas to go to the restroom in Building B.”

Hu Lin nodded and withdrew her gaze. “I’ll arrange this. President Xie, please continue working. Don’t secretly run away. If you run again, I’ll chase you all the way to your house until you finish your work.”

Lin You anxiously stood at the restroom entrance. She did not dare enter. Just standing at the door was already eye-catching enough. She could only occasionally ask a female Omega to go into the restroom and help her ask about the situation.

Soon, Hu Lin brought her assistant to the third floor, Building B. When Hu Lin saw Lin You anxiously pacing at the entrance, a trace of surprise appeared in her heart. The noble and cold President Lin could also be anxious over someone?

“President Lin, hello. I’m President Xie’s assistant, Hu Lin. This is my colleague, Wen Ru.” Hu Lin quickly stepped forward and introduced herself.

Lin You nodded, suppressing her worry and anxiety as she instructed, “Sorry to trouble you. My wife is pregnant. She has been in the restroom for a long time and hasn’t come out, and she didn’t bring her phone. Please go in and help me check on her.”

Hu Lin nodded. As for Wen Ru, who had a round face, she was currently a little dizzy. She had actually met the big boss! But her body still closely followed Hu Lin’s steps.

Hu Lin knocked on each door one by one and asked softly. Before she reached the end, Fu Xinran opened the door and came out. Hu Lin knew Fu Xinran.

“Madam Lin, are you all right? I’m President Xie’s assistant. President Lin is very worried about you.” Hu Lin stepped forward and carefully supported Fu Xinran.

Fu Xinran politely declined. She was not used to physical contact with strangers, but still thanked her softly. “Thank you. I’ve troubled you.”

Hu Lin looked at Fu Xinran’s pale face and signaled Wen Ru to go out and tell Lin You.

When Lin You saw Wen Ru come out, she immediately asked, “How is she?”

“Madam Lin should be having morning sickness. The first time is very uncomfortable. Assistant Hu is inside. They’ll come out right away.” So wealthy families also had true feelings. Wen Ru looked at Lin You’s worried and anxious expression and quickly finished speaking so the big boss would not worry.

The moment Lin You saw Fu Xinran come out, she immediately walked in. She could no longer care that this was an Omega restroom.

Fu Xinran’s face was pale, her eyes red, and her thin, swaying body looked as though she could faint at any moment. Lin You’s heart tightened. In her eyes and heart, there was only the person before her.
