After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 3

Inside the car, neither of them spoke. Both stared straight ahead, and the atmosphere was quiet and oppressive.

Lin You’s face was expressionless, but in reality, she was panicking like hell inside. She was gripping the steering wheel so hard it was almost deforming. She had never been this nervous even when doing missions.

She never expected that one day, she would become so flustered because of a suddenly acquired, stunningly beautiful wife.

The main reason was probably because this wife was the villainous big BOSS—the deadly kind. Thinking of this, Lin You felt so melancholy that she wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

Right now, she was relying entirely on the refined-scoundrel gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose to barely suppress the unease in her eyes.

“This atmosphere… Those who know would think we’re going for a prenatal checkup. Those who don’t would think we’re going to dump a body.” Lin You took a deep breath and muttered inwardly. She wanted to cough, but because of the current atmosphere, she could only suppress the itch in her throat.

Fu Xinran, on the other hand, was quite relaxed. She leaned comfortably and gracefully against the car seat cushion and backrest that Aunt Gui had specially bought for pregnant women.

All the cars at home had been fitted with them, except for the driver’s seat.

The person beside her had finally started taking a step forward. No matter how big or small that step was, at least the dark clouds were finally beginning to part and reveal the sun.

Seeing on the navigation that they were almost at the hospital, Lin You’s heart became a little excited. She would soon be able to escape this suffocating atmosphere.

In the past, if a great beauty sat beside her, she would have been able to sneak glances from every angle possible. But now, she only dared to secretly glance at her when checking the rearview mirror.

She also had to maintain the original body’s character and avoid exposing herself. It was truly too hard.

Just as the hospital was still three or four hundred meters away, the system started making trouble again.

“Oh, please have the host keep the pregnant woman in a pleasant mood. A depressed mood, ah, will cause the baby to be unable to feel fatherly and motherly love. It will make her scared and sad, and the possibility of her being born with autism will be eighty percent. Host, you must take this seriously.”

Who knew where the system had learned the rising and falling aria-like tone of a European noblewoman? Listening to it made the veins on Lin You’s forehead bulge.

Lin You took a deep breath and retorted inwardly with black lines all over her head, “Like hell I believe you. Right now, she’s just an embryo, even smaller than a finger. Tell me, how exactly is she supposed to feel fatherly and motherly love?”

The system choked, then mumbled, “Do you still want to survive?”

Lin You’s heart clogged. The ride had been too quiet, and she had forgotten that she still needed the villainous big BOSS to show mercy so she could keep her little life. Lin You wanted to let out a groundhog scream.

It was truly too hard. Her teammate was useless and kept dragging her down. As soon as she arrived, she had already encountered a major event like a prenatal checkup.

Lin You held her aching head. “I’m begging you. Next time Aunt Gui watches Mole Manor, don’t go crowd around to watch it too. You’re giving me a headache, and that’ll cause the mission to fail.”

The system let out an arrogant humph, then hid itself again.

Was this thing not even an adult yet and had secretly come out to guide hosts? Lin You complained inwardly.

The system’s sudden appearance did make Lin You less nervous.

“Cough. Later, I’ll go get the number. You wait for me in the car. There are a lot of people outside, and the air isn’t good.” Lin You chose her words carefully and cautiously watched Fu Xinran’s expression.

When Fu Xinran turned her head and her gaze landed on Lin You’s face, Lin You became so nervous that her breathing stopped for a moment. Fu Xinran looked at the person whose body was stiff, whose eyes were darting around uneasily, and who was forcing herself to speak.

Her mood suddenly turned bad. She felt it was so boring. She turned her head away and gave an indifferent “Mm,” then closed her eyes to rest.

Lin You sensed the change in Fu Xinran’s attitude. It was so obvious—who could possibly not sense it? She really wanted to hold her head and cry.

But she could only stumble out, “Then… then rest for a bit first. I’ll go get the number.”

She lowered her head and hurriedly tried to unfasten her seat belt. At some point, sweat had appeared in her palms, causing her to press the buckle several times without managing to release it.

When Fu Xinran heard Lin You’s movements, she opened her eyes. With an icy expression, she stretched out her crystal-clear fingers.

Click.

The seat belt restraining Lin You came loose.

After pressing it, Fu Xinran turned her head away again, ignoring a certain someone who was so embarrassed that her toes were about to dig out an entire house.

Urgently asking: how does one become friends with a villain?

Lin You opened the car door in disgrace, then gently closed it behind her.

This time, Aunt Gui had told them to come out at the last minute. She had only told them that she had booked a specialist appointment, and that they just needed to get the number from the machine at the hospital.

Inside the hospital, people came and went. There were many soon-to-be mothers and fathers, as well as some little babies.

“Wuwuwu… ahhh… wahhh…”

The sharp sound of a child crying made many people turn to look.

An overwhelmed new mother stood beside the counter, anxious and haggard as she waited to register. Her clothes were half-hanging off her body, and the shoes on her feet were even worn on the wrong sides.

“Are you coming or not? Huh? Is this child yours or not? You’re like this every time! Ah, say something!” The new mother had a phone clamped beside her ear as she shouted in collapse.

She drew everyone’s attention, but she no longer cared about embarrassment. She only wanted to vent.

Lin You took the number and stood blankly to the side, watching as the new mother held the child and forced back tears while loudly questioning her partner.

The child was still crying nonstop. Seeing this scene made Lin You’s heart ache. Once a woman became a mother, things became even harder.

She could not be like this. She had to break the deadlock with Fu Xinran as soon as possible—not for the sake of saving her life, but because this woman, who was willing to give birth to a child for her even without being loved by her, deserved to be cherished.

At this moment, she suddenly calmed down.

Mothers were all great. The most innocent person was Fu Xinran. Right now, everything was still in time. None of the tragedies had happened yet.

As long as she could stop everything, once she resolved all the problems, she would divorce Fu Xinran and let her live a free and easy life. She would find Fu Xinran a high-quality, good partner. If Fu Xinran did not want the child, that was fine too. Lin You could raise the child.

From now on, she and Fu Xinran would be good sisters. Lin You clenched her fist. Mm, her good sister’s happiness would be entrusted to her.

Fu Xinran, who was still resting with her eyes closed inside the car, had no idea that she had suddenly gained a good sister.

Lin You walked around the hospital first, found the department, and waited until there were only seven or eight numbers left before going downstairs to pick her up.

“Cough. Um, Ranran.” Lin You worked hard to encourage herself inwardly. The first step to closing the distance was to start with a nickname. Ranran was quite good—simple and easy to understand.

When Fu Xinran heard how Lin You addressed her, a trace of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

There was also a little excitement. Suddenly, she really wanted to smile. This was also a good beginning. A warm and bright smile appeared at the corner of her lips, almost dazzling Lin You’s eyes.

Lin You licked her lips and stared without blinking at the woman smiling like a blooming flower.

So beautiful.

The two of them walked out together. Originally, Lin You’s handsome and noble appearance had already drawn quite a bit of attention.

There were even some Omega soon-to-be mothers and fathers pulling their husbands or wives along, as if they had discovered a new continent, their eyes going biu biu as they looked at the noble and handsome Lin You.

This attracted countless angry glares from Alphas and Betas.

This time, the two appeared together. Fu Xinran had a tall figure, black hair, snow-white skin, red lips, and a cold temperament like the beauty of a snow-capped mountain.

One Omega and one Alpha directly occupied everyone’s attention.

“Goodness, this pair could probably crush celebrities completely. They barely even look like they’re wearing makeup.”

A young nurse excitedly chattered to the female doctor beside her, who was eating with her head lowered.

The female doctor grew impatient. She swallowed the food in her mouth and raised her head to glance at Lin You and Fu Xinran’s backs.

The young nurse beside her was still talking endlessly. The female doctor’s eyes darkened. She raised her right hand, pinched the young nurse’s chin, twisted it over, and directly blocked that endlessly chattering mouth. The female doctor was satisfied. Finally, it was quiet.

She ignored the young nurse beside her, whose face had turned as red as a monkey’s butt, and continued lowering her head to eat.

“You’re so annoying…” The young nurse struck her once in shame and anger, then immediately put on her mask and left.

Lin You withdrew her envious little gaze. She protected Fu Xinran from behind, preventing her from bumping into others, and just happened to see the cool, beautiful doctor and her wife being affectionate.

Although Lin You had never dated before, that did not stop her from liking sweet romances.

Fu Xinran saw the person standing diagonally behind her secretly looking at a female doctor who was eating with her head lowered, her eyes full of smiles.

One look at that female doctor was enough to know she was an Alpha. Fu Xinran looked up and saw the faint smile at the corner of Lin You’s lips.

Her heart turned cold.

She suddenly remembered that there had been rumors about Lin You liking women. It was said that Lin You was extremely repulsed by Omegas.

After Fu Xinran married into the family, Lin You had only been very cold toward her. The two of them almost never shared a room. If not for that previous accident, who would believe that two people who had been married for over a year had never stayed in the same room together?

Fu Xinran’s eyes turned cold. She suddenly reached out, grabbed Lin You’s clothes, and pulled hard.

Lin You, who had been sighing over a sweet romance, was pulled by a strong force. She turned her head and looked at Fu Xinran’s eyes, which were so icy they almost seemed ready to kill. She reflexively swallowed.

Expressionless, Fu Xinran directly dragged her into the elevator. The people waiting for the elevator beside them all tacitly moved farther away from the two, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

W-what was going on?

Lin You bent down so Fu Xinran could pull her more easily. Her mind quickly replayed what she had done to offend her.

Fu Xinran was so angry she felt dizzy, and her breathing even became rapid.

“Ranran, are you not feeling well? Are you feeling terrible?” Lin You immediately sensed Fu Xinran’s unstable emotions. In a panic, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Fu Xinran’s body as she asked, her eyes constantly watching the elevator floor numbers change.

“Let go.” Fu Xinran’s eyes stung. The warm embrace behind her made her feel burned. She stubbornly struggled to get out of Lin You’s arms.

Lin You did not dare use too much strength. But seeing Fu Xinran so uncomfortable that her eyes had turned red, she bent down, princess-carried her into her arms, and held her close.

As soon as the elevator opened, she immediately strode out.

Inside the elevator, a petite female Omega twisted her husband’s arm, so envious her eyes were almost dripping with water.

The male Alpha could only coax her softly. He even gave her an identical princess carry before finally comforting his little wife. A Beta nearby sighed inwardly: had doting on one’s wife become this competitive now?

The anxious Lin You carried Fu Xinran, her expression serious and proper, while calling out, “Excuse me, excuse me.”

With her like this, everyone moved aside, thinking it must be some serious illness. The nurses at the nurse station immediately came forward and asked whether they needed help.

“We registered already. It’s our turn now. My wife is feeling especially unwell. Sorry for the trouble.” Lin You quickly handed the number in her hand to the nurse.

It just so happened that it was their turn.

Fu Xinran’s arms were wrapped tightly around Lin You’s neck, her face pressed against Lin You’s chest. Hearing the rapid heartbeat, she lightly bit her lip. Right now, she was both happy and ashamed.

Listening to Lin You’s worried and anxious tone, the discomfort in her heart barely faded a little. This person was already in her pot. If she still wanted to jump out, Fu Xinran would definitely break her legs.

Lin You did not know why, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a chill down her back. She could only hold the person in her arms even tighter.
