After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 32

Lin You looked at the beauty in the forest in surprise. Her skin was like snow, and her three thousand strands of black hair were loosely gathered by a white ribbon, leaving only two or three strands to fall naturally and sway with the wind.

Fu Xinran deliberately winked at Lin You. Lin You was stunned for an instant, then smiled happily. She put down the hoe in her hand and ran up to where Fu Xinran stood in just a few strides.

The faded tea fragrance faintly surrounded Lin You’s body. Paired with the fresh scent of bamboo leaves, it also smelled especially good.

Lin You felt somewhat embarrassed. She raised the back of her hand and wiped the sweat from her cheek. After looking at Fu Xinran for quite a while, she finally asked dryly, “Why did you come?”

Fu Xinran gave a soft humph and moved her gaze away, looking at the straight, crisp longevity bamboo. “We didn’t take a walk yesterday, so I’m making up for it today.”

The moment Lin You heard Fu Xinran mention yesterday, the flush on her face from exercising spread directly down below her neck. The sweat that had faded because of the cool breeze began to bead up again.

Lin You’s entire face was bright red. At a loss, she rubbed the dried mud and sand on her hands. Seeing the dirt falling in little flakes, Fu Xinran was helpless. There was also some on Lin You’s face. She took out a plain, elegant handkerchief.

She had originally wanted to hand it to Lin You so she could wipe herself, but who knew Lin You would innocently stretch out both hands, tilt her head, and look at her. Her silly, cute expression was like a big dog trying to please her.

Fu Xinran could only lift her fair fingers and gently wipe away the mud and sweat from Lin You’s face. Lin You smelled the clear, pure fragrance and the faint scent of snow cedar.

She once again remembered the snowflake scent wrapped around her pheromone gland—cool and very comfortable.

Holding back her shyness, Lin You did not dare look directly at the person wiping her face. But the pheromones continuously entering her nose made little circles spin in her heart.

Under the brewing of snowmelt, the bitter tea fragrance had already released its own unique freshness and sweet aftertaste. Fu Xinran sensed Lin You’s pheromones gradually beginning to ripple like waves again.

After decoding the pheromones, she felt a hidden mood of excitement and joy, making her hand tremble. She felt that Lin You’s nesting period was about to start again.

Sure enough, Lin You, who had still been a little shy just now, pushed her face straight in front of Fu Xinran. Inside her expression was satisfied emotion, but also unhappy bad feelings.

Fu Xinran helplessly withdrew her hand. “What’s wrong? Weren’t you quite happy just now?”

Lin You sniffed pitifully. “Where’s my nest?”

Fu Xinran: “…”

She turned her head and glanced at the broad bamboo forest, then raised her hand and pressed Lin You’s head onto her shoulder.

“You all dig a few more bamboo shoots. The Family Head and I will go back first.” For the sake of Lin You’s thin and fragile dignity, Fu Xinran pressed her into her arms.

Lin You was also very obedient. She half-bent her body and quietly leaned on Fu Xinran’s shoulder.

She carefully spread both hands, not letting the mud and sand on her hands get onto Fu Xinran.

But she could not hug Ranran. She was so sad. Wu, Ranran’s pheromones were almost gone too. She was so sad. She had to endure it, endure it. Wu, but she was still so sad!

An irresistible grievance came surging over like the sky and earth. Lin You sniffed. The dampness on her shoulder brought Fu Xinran back to herself. She raised her hand and patted the wronged person. Leaning close to Lin You’s ear, her voice was gentle. “Will you carry me home?”

Lin You sniffed. She was very willing, but she murmured softly, “But my hands are so dirty. Wu…”

She rubbed against Fu Xinran’s shoulder in grievance and buried herself evasively in Fu Xinran’s neck. Scorching hot breath fell on her skin.

Fu Xinran’s mind swayed, and red stained the tips of her ears. Cao Rui had called her this morning and told her to take action and seize this person, lest this fellow regain clarity and run away like a snail again.

Fu Xinran pulled over Lin You’s fingers and wiped them clean little by little. Lin You leaned sideways against Fu Xinran’s shoulder, blinking her misty eyes. Watching her dirty hands become clean, she became happy for a while again.

She eagerly stretched out her other hand for Fu Xinran to wipe. Fu Xinran shot her a coquettish glare and patiently wiped it clean for her.

With both hands clean, Lin You immediately picked Fu Xinran up and spun in a circle.

“Ah.” Fu Xinran let out a small cry and hugged Lin You’s shoulders.

“All right, stop messing around. Let’s go home.” Looking at Lin You’s pure smile, Fu Xinran felt warmth sincerely spread through her heart. She gently patted Lin You’s shoulder, signaling for her to put her down.

Only after Lin You had played enough did she carefully put her down. With her flushed face, Lin You looked at the beautiful person in front of her, lowered her head, and kissed Fu Xinran on the cheek. After the kiss, she immediately turned around and bent down, preparing to carry her home.

Fu Xinran pretended to glare in embarrassment at Lin You, who was posing for a piggyback ride. Under Chunsheng and Old Jiang’s gazes, she was cheerfully carried by Lin You toward home.

Old Jiang’s honest face was full of smiles. He was one of the Lin family’s garden servants, specifically responsible for the flowers, plants, bamboo forest, and crops on Mount Li.

“The Family Head and Madam’s relationship is really good. If my wife were even as gentle as one little finger of Madam’s, that would be wonderful.” Old Jiang’s simple wish amused Chunsheng, who was packing up bamboo shoots.

Chunsheng smiled. “Uncle Jiang, pick some flowers and bring them back to Auntie. Auntie will definitely be very happy today.”

Old Jiang nodded, feeling that made a lot of sense. He planned to pick a bouquet of flowers for his wife, who tended the vegetable fields, after work.

Lin You carried Fu Xinran on her back, slowly walking through the swaying bamboo forest on the breeze.

The warm, soft, fragrant person on her back gave her a little sense of security. Only when the person on her back stayed with her all the time did she feel safe.

Occasionally, they met servants maintaining the old residence along the way, but all of them quietly avoided the two and did not appear to disturb their masters.

“Are you tired?” Today was the first day of dating, and Fu Xinran was very satisfied as she rested her head on Lin You’s shoulder.

“Not tired. You’re so light. You need to eat more.” Lin You turned her head and looked at Fu Xinran with heartache.

“Mm-hm.” Fu Xinran barely agreed. “Hurry home.”

After returning to the old residence, Lin You happily greeted the old butler and carried the person on her back straight back to the bedroom.

The bedroom that had been messy in the morning was now clean. Yesterday’s clothes had been tidied and folded, placed on the table, waiting for Lin You to continue tormenting them.

Lin You placed Fu Xinran on the sofa in the room, then turned around, locked the door, and ran clattering to the bathroom to wash her hands. The scent she had left in the room was already very faint.

In the place most familiar to her, there were no scent markings. She felt terrified. Tears hovered in her eyes, about to fall but not falling, but she still remembered that she needed to wash her hands and could not hurt the baby.

Eh? Eh!

I have a baby. Hahaha, that’s right, I have a baby.

Lin You was so happy she almost jumped. She scrubbed her hands clean in a few quick motions, wiped them with a towel, and ran out.

“Ranran, Ranran.”

Like a wisp of smoke, she ran to Fu Xinran. Fu Xinran sat on the sofa and received a huge bear hug.

Today, aside from being delicate, clingy, and prone to tears, Lin You did not show any other reactions. A small part of her reason was still there, so there was no need to worry about her pheromones becoming violent.

However, before Fu Xinran could put down the heart in her belly, it was broken by a wave of domineering pheromones.

Lin You released her own pheromones and tightly wrapped Fu Xinran in them. She sat on the floor with her long legs crossed, resting her head against Fu Xinran’s legs as she happily rubbed against her.

Her slender, strong fingers hovered over Fu Xinran’s lower abdomen, comparing here and there. She wanted to touch but did not dare.

Fu Xinran covered Lin You’s hand with hers. Lin You lifted her head and looked at her. Fu Xinran gently pushed Lin You’s hand until it rested over her lower abdomen.

The warm palm remained motionless over Fu Xinran’s belly. She gently slid her fingers, rubbing over Lin You’s distinct knuckles.

Lin You rubbed against her knee, obediently enjoying Fu Xinran’s unique tenderness.

By the second day of the nesting period, Lin You could already barely keep her reason. She completely suppressed the desire to bond, only simply releasing pheromones.

To a large extent, it was because she was subconsciously suppressing the Alpha’s nature. She could not hurt Fu Xinran, nor could she hurt the child.

When many Alphas’ bonding heat and nesting period erupted, they would cling to their partners for three days. During this time, ten months later, the country’s population rate would soar.

But the divorce rate would also increase greatly. So this was fortune leaning on disaster, and disaster giving rise to fortune.

The two of them sat peacefully, neither speaking. Yet the quietly flowing pheromones fiercely told Fu Xinran: I like this so much, so much. Touch me more.

Fu Xinran’s face once again flushed with a familiar blush. She could only control her pheromones and respond to Lin You a little.

Each response made Lin You’s pheromones surge even more. The room’s atmosphere had already been filled. If an Alpha came here, they would be frightened until their legs went weak.

This place was like the nest of a fierce beast. Every corner had been marked.

In the old residence where Lin You stayed, only Beta bodyguards remained patrolling nearby.

Everyone else had already been sent to the outer perimeter. As for Zhuo An, she strongly demanded that she make up sleep today and that no one disturb her.

Yesterday, she had been injured and stayed up late. No matter how young she was, she could not withstand that kind of torment.

At the company, several assistants had rather ugly expressions. President Lin had only taken two days of leave, and they had already received a notice from above: someone would come to the group to inspect taxes.

If it were just a year-end tax inspection, there would be no problem at all. But it had been less than five months since the last tax inspection, and there was still half a year before the next one. Such a sudden inspection made it hard not to suspect something fishy.

Sun Yue’s face was cold. She sneered while looking at the person jumping the highest. This was a collateral branch of the Lin family separated by several rooms. A clown pushed out by others, yet he thought he was some important dish.

The brothers and sisters of Lin You’s mother’s generation had no particular thoughts about working in the group. The person who had always taken charge was Lin Zhi—that chairman who was like a divine dragon whose head was seen but never its tail.

But the uncles from the collateral branches of Lin You’s grandfather’s generation were very fierce in their jumping. In the past, they had all been suppressed by Lin You. Sun Yue glanced at Li Ping, who still smiled like an old fox.

She pressed down the thoughts in her heart and did not show them. With a cold, mocking sound, she took the financial report in her hand and left.

This joint meeting parted unhappily. Another assistant with an extremely low sense of presence took in everyone’s expressions. Large black-framed glasses and heavy bangs covered all of this person’s brilliance.

Lin You held her Ranran and paddled on the bed. Like a seal, she lazily moved her arms on the bed. Fu Xinran lay in her arms with no will to live, facing upward and staring at the ceiling.

Lin You had suddenly said she wanted to swim. Excitedly, she carried Fu Xinran onto the bed, placed her on top of herself, and moved her arms in all kinds of paddling motions.

“You have to hold on tight, okay? Otherwise, you’ll fall into the water.”

Fu Xinran nodded perfunctorily. Her experience taking care of children in the future would definitely be very rich.

After all, she had already taken care of one this big.
