After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 35

A newly appearing character, a newly triggered plot…

Lin You: “…”

She could only click confirm and was forced to have a large chunk of plot poured into her mind again.

Fu Xinran looked at Lin You, whose eyes had gone straight and whose expression had stiffened, and felt a little worried. She reached out and gently held Lin You’s hand. It was clean and refreshing, carrying an Alpha’s resilience.

Lin You unconsciously squeezed the softness in her palm. After dazing out for about a minute, she finally finished receiving the new plot. With a headache, she pinched the space between her brows, somewhat unsure how to get along with this freshly released aunt.

She could only soothe her by saying, “Auntie, go back and rest first. Later, we’ll eat together.”

Su Qingfeng had originally wanted to show some concern for her little niece, but seeing that Lin You did not seem to want to talk, she could only swallow the concern in her mouth back down.

Lin You looked at Su Qingfeng’s lonely back and felt that this family really was tangled beyond cutting, messy beyond sorting.

In the newly triggered plot, Lin You’s mother, Su Qingwan, had been secretly sent abroad by Su Qingfeng. After that, in order to keep her promise to her older sister, she had remained repeatedly silent no matter how many times her brother-in-law Lin Zhi and her niece asked.

It was not until the eve of Lin You turning nineteen, when the confidentiality period she had promised Su Qingwan expired, that she finally opened her mouth and told the mother and daughter which country Su Qingwan had gone to and where she had stayed.

In the end, after the mother and daughter traveled thousands of miles abroad to search for her, Su Qingwan had already left Country M. Lin Zhi had fainted from anger on the spot.

The reason she left was very complicated. The rift between the spouses was too wide and could not be repaired. Even though Lin You tried to mediate and patch things up between them, in the end, the pressure they gave each other made Su Qingwan able only to flee from the place that suffocated her.

“System, this character didn’t exist in the original novel at all?” Lin You was very confused. Had the author deviated from the outline? She remembered that the novel had never mentioned such a person.

“Everything is within the trajectory,” the system sighed like a philosopher, then disappeared.

Lin You thought over all of this. In the original plot, Fu Xinran’s relationships with her father and sister were not good. But in the current plot, the Fu family’s relationship network was extremely harmonious no matter how one looked at it.

Although the Fu family members were all unsmiling, the old father was cold, hard, and rigid, and the eldest sister was no different from Antarctic ice, Ranran, in contrast, was more like a little fairy. Though her exterior was cool, distant, and graceful.

Once she placed you in her heart, you would touch all of her softness.

This was one of the most obvious plot deviations.

Lin You stroked Fu Xinran’s delicate, soft little hand and reviewed the plot the system had sent her.

She half-narrowed her eyes, her fingers tapping against her knee. In that plot just now, the thing mentioned most often was Su Qingwan repeatedly bringing up the laboratory accident, but the specific cause had not been explained.

This was not too different from the information Lin You had previously investigated.

Could she make a bold guess? Su Qingwan had always been very concerned about the laboratory leak, and after the laboratory leak, the aftereffects on those exposed had not appeared too obviously.

It was not until after little Lin You was born that the relevant personnel who had once been exposed in the laboratory began to show all kinds of symptoms one after another: death, schizophrenia, gland atrophy, various illnesses.

Lin You’s mother had given birth to Lin You under those circumstances. No one could guarantee whether little Lin You had been infected through the mother’s body.

Su Qingwan developed prenatal depression, fear, worry, despair, even hysteria. She could only watch Lin You’s every move at all times, protecting her to an extraordinary degree.

She was afraid Lin You was deformed, and also afraid that Lin You had some illness that could not be detected. Lin Zhi was a silent and inexpressive partner.

What she liked more was watching her young wife happily share every interesting thing in her world with her every day.

She also worked very hard, searching around the world for top doctors to test Lin You. All the test results had shown no problems, but no one could completely guarantee that no problems would appear when Lin You differentiated in the future.

When a mother whose entire heart was focused on her child collided with someone who did not know how to express herself and only silently did things for her wife and child, all of this happened so naturally.

The estrangement accumulated little by little until it finally erupted. And the one under the greatest pressure was the original Lin You.

The plot the system transmitted to her was incomplete, only a fragment.

What role exactly was the system playing? During this time, Lin You had tested and bullied it in various ways, but the system had not done much. Instead, it would even be bullied until it cried.

She could directly feel that the system bore no malice toward her. It even seemed to carry a little guilt, along with compensation and tolerance.

“What are you thinking about?” Seeing Lin You not come back to herself for a long time, Fu Xinran asked softly.

Lin You shook her head and held Fu Xinran’s shoulders. Right now, she needed a hug.

“Ugh!”

Fu Xinran had originally been hugging Lin You when a sudden wave of nausea rose up. Covering her mouth, she got up and ran toward the bathroom.

Lin You sat in place with both hands slightly open, stunned for an instant. Once she came back to herself, she immediately followed. Fu Xinran’s body was half-bent, one hand braced against the sink, dry-heaving but unable to vomit anything.

“Uwaa…”

Fu Xinran felt sick and nauseated, wanting to vomit but unable to. After several bouts of retching, the corners of her eyes reddened, and another wave came.

Lin You did not know what to do. She took the warm water Chunsheng handed over and carefully lifted Fu Xinran’s fallen hair. Watching pitifully until Fu Xinran stopped vomiting, she handed the warm water in her hand over.

Lin You carefully pulled Fu Xinran into her arms and let her recover for a while. Several dry heaves were actually especially exhausting for a person. Moreover, the stomach and body reacted together, making one very tired, and the root of the tongue also hurt.

Lin You threw all those messy plot matters to the back of her mind. In her heart and eyes, there was only Fu Xinran.

After Fu Xinran finished drinking the water, Lin You took the cup and handed it to Chunsheng, who was standing at the door. She bent down and carefully prepared to pick Fu Xinran up.

Fu Xinran pressed against her hand and said tiredly, “No need. I’m dizzy. Help me to the window for some air.”

There was a small platform on the side of the living room where one could admire the endless bamboo sea and also bask in the sun.

Lin You held Fu Xinran as they sat on the small platform, breathing in air filled with the faint scent of bamboo. The sun hung lazily in the sky, drifting in and out of the clouds.

Fu Xinran leaned against Lin You’s knees, wearing a bamboo-green eye mask. Both hands rested in front of her abdomen. Her breathing was slow. She had already fallen asleep.

Every pregnant person’s constitution was different. Some people, in the early stages of pregnancy, would not only have morning sickness, fatigue, sleepiness, headaches, and loss of appetite, but even constipation.

Lin You felt heartache as she stroked Fu Xinran’s long hair. The breeze rustled, and the bamboo leaves rubbed against each other with a hualala sound. Lin You lowered her head and found that Fu Xinran was still beautiful from another angle. Her skin was porcelain-white, her red lips pink and tender. Lin You could not resist lowering her head and gently pressing against them.

The tip of her tongue rubbed and traced the shape of Fu Xinran’s lips. She took a deep breath, and her nose was filled with Fu Xinran’s scent.

Fu Xinran’s lips became damp, pink, delicate, and beautiful, gaining a different kind of shine.

On a villa in the distance, Su Qingfeng put down the binoculars in her hand and felt that, invisibly, she had eaten so much.

Ah, her little niece really had changed. Su Qingfeng smiled. Perhaps the things after this would not be so difficult.

Fu Xinran lay on Lin You’s lap and slept for forty or fifty minutes before opening her eyes. The kitchen had also just finished preparing the meal.

Lin You carefully supported Fu Xinran’s back and helped her sit up, then kneaded her shoulders with both hands. Sleeping in the same posture for a long time was tiring too.

“Host, after a recent check, your company data has been tampered with,” the system immediately reported to Lin You after detecting something wrong.

Earlier, when assistant Sun Yue had called, aside from mentioning Su Qingfeng, she had also mentioned the matter of the company being inspected by the tax authorities. At that time, Lin You had spent five hundred points and asked the system to help monitor the company for a year.

The system felt these were points that came for free. It was just casually placing something in the background to watch, and it would not cost much energy.

It had not expected that only a few hours later, there would already be results.

“Can you trace the IP address?”

“Yes, but that’s a separate price.”

Lin You was full of black lines. “You really did fall into the eye of money. How much?”

The system happily swished its tail. “Fifty points. Fair price for young and old alike.”
