After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 29

When Fu Xinran woke again, everything before her eyes was white. Beside her sat her older sister, working.

Fu Xinyan was still dressed in black. Her features were youthful, but her aura was astonishingly powerful. She had only just entered the company as an intern.

The moment she heard that her younger sister’s differentiation period had arrived early and she had fainted, she brought her work to the school to keep her sister company.

“Who are you looking for?”

That low, cool voice startled the person whose gaze was still drifting around.

Only after hearing her sister’s voice did Fu Xinran raise her head and look at her with a slight sense of grievance. Fu Xinyan put down her laptop, stood up, and touched her younger sister’s forehead.

It was no longer hot. The cold sweat had stopped too, and quite a bit of color had returned to her face.

She let the question from just now pass and asked in a slightly softer voice, “Do you still feel uncomfortable?”

Fu Xinran nodded. Her body was extremely weak. The area from her neck down to the back of her shoulder was hot and very uncomfortable. Fu Xinran knew she had differentiated.

She had differentiated into an Omega.

“Take this medicine again after twenty-four hours. Rest properly at home for a week. After that, go to the hospital for a checkup. If there are no problems, then return to school.”

Doctor He handed the prepared medicine to Fu Xinyan. She lazily yawned and prepared to leave. She had stayed up all night gaming last night and was truly sleepy.

Fu Xinyan glanced at the beautiful, fiery woman. Her eyes lowered slightly, and the corners of her lips lifted in a faint smile. Seeing her sister’s thoughtful expression, Fu Xinran could not help shivering.

Thinking that Doctor He was a very good person, she could not bear to see her caught by a hidden hunter. “Sister, I want to go home.”

Fu Xinyan nodded and carefully helped her younger sister up. “Uncle Tang and Aunt Min are at home. They’ll take care of you.”

Fu Xinyan rubbed her sister’s smooth long hair. Thinking of the pile of work waiting at the company, she looked at Fu Xinran with some guilt.

Fu Xinran obediently nodded. “It’s fine. Aunt Min will take care of me.”

“Ranran, Ranran, how are you?”

Before the person arrived, the voice had already rushed in noisily. Cao Rui ran into the infirmary like a gust of wind.

“I’m fine. Is the placement exam over?” Fu Xinran melancholically thought about today’s placement exam. It seemed that she, the top student of the grade, had become the bottom student of the grade.

“Ah, no, no. We didn’t take it today. The teacher said it’s postponed to next Friday and told everyone to prepare properly,” Cao Rui said happily. She knew how much her good sister valued exams.

Hearing Cao Rui’s words, Fu Xinran turned and looked at her sister, who smiled and nodded at her. Fu Xinran’s nose felt sour. Under Cao Rui’s concern, she left the school.

The teacher approved a week of leave for her, and Cao Rui promised to go to her house every day to deliver notes.

Fu Xinran looked at the empty sports field. The person she had been hoping to see had not appeared. She still had not said thank you to her. Fu Xinran lowered her head and got into the car.

Her and her sister’s cars separated, one turning left and the other turning right. Fu Xinyan was still in her fourth year of university, but she had already been in the company for two years.

Once she finished her graduation thesis, she would go abroad for further study. Right now, she was only wrapping up the projects she had on hand.

“Youyou, Mommy’s little cutie. I heard you acted bravely for justice today!”

The long-haired Omega with gentle, beautiful brows and eyes radiated maternal warmth as she took Lin You’s schoolbag.

“Not really. I just sent someone to the infirmary along the way. Come to think of it, I didn’t even get a clear look at what she looked like.” Lin You stroked her chin in thought.

“That’s nothing. You’re all in the same school. You’ll know later.” Su Qingwan rubbed her daughter’s hair, though Lin You was already taller than her. Lin You deliberately lowered her head and rubbed under her mother’s hand.

She hugged Su Qingwan’s waist and rubbed against her coquettishly. “Is Mami coming back today?”

“Her? She’ll probably sleep at the office.” Su Qingwan’s tone was light. She did not want to mention the wife who treated the company as home.

Lin You grinned and tugged at her mother’s hand. “Don’t be like that. Mami has been busy with a big project recently. Once she finishes, it’ll be fine. Why don’t we go to the company and bring Mami dinner?”

Lin You’s suggestion made Su Qingwan barely tempted, but her mouth still said, “Do as you like.”

“Yeah!” Lin You made a victory gesture. She let go of Su Qingwan’s hand. “Aunt Gui, what are we eating today? I’m starving.”

“Youyou, wait a little longer. It’ll be ready soon.” Aunt Gui wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen.

Lin You leaned close to Aunt Gui like a thief. “Aunt Gui, put some of Mami’s favorite dishes into a thermal box. Later, Mom and I will bring them to her. Also, have the chef make a bit more. There are other people at the company too!”

“All right. Our Youyou is still the best. Otherwise, Madam would be angry at the Family Head.” Aunt Gui looked at her little family head warmly, nodded, and returned to the kitchen.

At the company, Lin Zhi was still in a meeting. She tiredly rubbed her forehead and glanced at her watch. It was already seven. She would not be able to go home today either.

While everyone was discussing, she picked up her phone and called her daughter first, wanting to indirectly ask about her wife’s attitude.

Lin You had just picked up her phone while holding the thermal box when her mother snatched it away. Su Qingwan directly declined the call and laughed coldly. Every time, Lin Zhi tried to use their daughter as a spy.

Lin You clicked her tongue. She still wanted to say something, but Su Qingwan shot her a sidelong look. Lin You carefully smiled apologetically.

Mami, you’re on your own. I can’t save you either.

Seeing that her call had been hung up, Lin Zhi sighed. It seemed her wife was not just ordinarily angry. She stormed back into the conference room, pressing everyone to finish the project approval as soon as possible.

Lin Zhi was tall, forceful, and rational, her long hair reaching her waist. But in front of her wife and daughter, she was not forceful. All her softness belonged to her wife and daughter.

“Meeting dismissed. The next project follow-up will be handled by Project Department Executive President Li You and Deputy Director Su Qingfeng of the Director’s Office.” Lin Zhi picked up her phone and left.

Su Qingfeng was Su Qingwan’s younger sister. The moment she graduated, her brother-in-law had hauled her into the company to help. Thinking about her hair growing thinner day by day, Su Qingfeng could not stay calm.

She abandoned the executive president, who still wanted to continue discussing with her, and chased after her brother-in-law, asking for someone else to take over.

“Brother-in-law, change to someone else. I already have eight or nine difficult projects on hand. If you give me another one, I’ll really go bald.” Su Qingfeng held the elevator door and refused to leave.

Lin Zhi rubbed her forehead. Her eyes chilled, and she narrowed them. “If you don’t move, I’ll have you take responsibility for a few more projects.”

Su Qingfeng raised both hands and silently took a step back. She believed this was something her brother-in-law could really do.

“Auntie, what are you two doing?”

A head stuck out from Lin Zhi’s office, watching the show.

“Uh, nothing. Youyou, why are you here?” Su Qingfeng touched her nose and walked toward her niece.

The moment Lin Zhi saw Lin You, she immediately strode out of the elevator. Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she thought: Her daughter was here, so Wanwan must have come too.

Lin Zhi smiled stiffly at her daughter, then mercilessly pushed aside Lin You’s body blocking the doorway. “Go chat with your aunt.”

Lin You stumbled and fell against her aunt. She was already used to the daily reality that in Mami’s eyes, aside from Mom, everyone else was air.

Lin You sighed maturely, sorrowfully wiping the corner of her eye under her aunt’s gaze that was holding back laughter. “Auntie, are you hungry?”

Su Qingfeng nodded. Lin You opened the thermal box on the secretary’s desk. The fragrant smell of food immediately made Su Qingfeng’s stomach growl.

Su Qingfeng heartily ate the Longjing shrimp and braised pork with abalone. “Your family’s chef has amazing skill. Delicious.” Su Qingfeng gave a thumbs-up, and in a few bites, a bowl of rice was gone.

“If you don’t take it seriously, then forget it.”

Su Qingwan’s agitated voice made Lin You and Su Qingfeng worry. The two of them stood up with a whoosh.

Su Qingfeng stared at the door of her brother-in-law’s office while shoveling rice into her mouth. Lin You pressed her fingers, her brows furrowing.

“Hey, don’t worry. This is just how it is between spouses. They argue and make up. Come, sit down. Let’s keep eating.” Seeing Lin You worried, Su Qingfeng immediately called her to sit.

Although she said that, Su Qingfeng was also uneasy inside. She had never seen her older sister and brother-in-law quarrel before.

Bang.

The door to Lin Zhi’s office was violently pushed open. Lin You watched her angry mother forcefully calm her breathing. Su Qingwan hung a barely-there smile on her face.

“Let’s go. Youyou, we’re going home.”

Su Qingfeng still wanted to say something, but her sister had already swept away like the wind with her eldest niece, disappearing into the elevator.

Lin You also did not know what to say. She only held her mother’s hand and went downstairs with her.

Lin Zhi stood before the floor-to-ceiling window in her office and watched the family car leave. At this moment, she truly felt somewhat tired.

Her young wife was eight years younger than her. The wife who had once been gentle, elegant, and rational was gradually becoming hysterical.

She did not know what to do and could only use work to escape. Today had originally gone well, but as long as the topic landed on Youyou, things would gradually become uncontrollable.

Su Qingfeng bit into the springy abalone and pushed open her brother-in-law’s office door. “Brother-in-law, you and my sister can’t keep arguing like this, especially in front of Youyou.” Su Qingfeng spoke disapprovingly while chewing rice.

Lin Zhi’s face chilled. Her gaze suppressed a deep coldness. Su Qingfeng immediately followed her heart and closed the door, then sat at the secretary’s desk and ate her meal.

She was twelve years younger than Su Qingwan. When Su Qingwan married Lin Zhi, she had not yet come of age.

After finishing dinner, Su Qingfeng prepared to go back and miserably work overtime. It was precisely because she was so busy that she was still single now. Su Qingfeng sorrowfully covered her head.

“Mom, I’m fine.” Lin You knew the two of them had quarreled because of her again.

With red-rimmed eyes, Su Qingwan looked coldly out the window. Her voice was soft. “It has nothing to do with you.”

That was right. It had nothing to do with Lin You. It was all her own fault. If she had not, back then…

Su Qingwan closed her eyes and reached out to hold Lin You’s hand. They did not speak the whole way.

Lin You did not know how to comfort her mother either. She touched the pheromone gland on her shoulder blade. She was not a complete Beta, because she also had a pheromone gland that only Alphas and Omegas had.

Medically speaking, it was equivalent to her dominant gene being suppressed in the womb and failing to develop completely, which led to this situation.

But in truth, Lin You felt very at ease. She liked this. She would not be affected by bonding heat, and she did not have an extra organ either. It was practically perfect.

Unfortunately, Su Qingwan wholeheartedly wanted her to develop completely. During her differentiation, the doctor had said that if her gland could not undergo secondary differentiation, it would face atrophy.

In the most serious case, her lifespan would be directly reduced by half, and she might even suffer unbearable pain.

But existing technology could not solve this problem at all. Both mothers were doing everything they could, wanting her gland to develop again.

Lin Zhi’s method was to research medicine, but the time frame was too long. Su Qingwan could not see hope. She wanted to take Lin You to her teacher’s research institute abroad and conduct later-stage intervention, or even surgical treatment.

But the risks were too great, and the treatment results were unpredictable.
