Xie Xuning’s hand remained in the air.

He never expected Tianxin’s health to be this bad.

Ye Linlang’s tears were falling from her face like beads falling off of a broken necklace.

“It’s all our fault. If we could be together with Tianxin while she was a child, how would she have gone through so much hardship?” Ye Linlang felt extremely guilty.

Ye Tianxin grew up in the Town of Jiameng since she was a child. It was her grandmother who brought her up with her threads and needles.

Back in the Town of Jiameng, they didn’t have that many material possessions.

On top of that, when her grandmother fell ill later on, Tianxin had to over-exert her body to prepare for the college entrance exams while taking care of her sick grandmother.

After all of that and a series of hardships, Tianxin finally met Xie Xuning, but something bad happened to her grandmother again.

All of these things piled on top of each other into a large stack of burdens.

This took a huge toll on Ye Tianxin’s body.

“This is all our fault.”

Xie Xuning wanted to slap himself across the face twice.

Regardless of what they said, who was the cause of his wife’s sadness?

It could only be him.

He didn’t do a good job protecting his wife. That’s why his wife had to go through so much hardship.

He didn’t do a good job protecting his daughter, either. That’s why his daughter had to over-exert her body to protect her family at such a tender age.

“What’s the point of talking about all this now?”

Ye Linlang gently wiped away the tears on her face.

She was Tianxin’s mother.

She had to be strong.

“What can we do for Tianxin now?”

Xie Xuning held his wife’s hand. He wanted to transfer the warmth in his body to her.

He was silently declaring his presence.

Regardless of what happened, he would always be with her. He would never let go of her hand again.

“Let’s just pretend that we don’t know about it. Madam said that Tianxin wanted her to keep the pregnancy a secret.”

“Alright.”

…

…

“Brother Li, I’m pregnant?”

Even as they sat back inside the car, Ye Tianxin was still in disbelief.

She was pregnant…

Her son, Xiao Jin, was coming.

“Yes, you’re pregnant. Are you happy?”

As LI Qingcang spoke, Ye Tianxin pounced into Li Qingcang’s arms.

She wrapped her arms around Li Qingcang’s waist tightly and said with a slightly trembling voice, “I’m so lucky.”

Not everyone was as lucky as her.

“Tianxin, I’m a little unhappy.”

Li Qingcang’s large hand gently caressed Ye Tianxin’s delicate, pretty little face.

His entire body was exuding a faint bitterness that showed his unhappiness.

Ye Tianxin looked toward Li Qingcang. She asked in confusion, “Why? You’re going to be a dad. Are you not happy about that?”

“Of course I’m not happy! Having a son means that there’s going to be a little boy that will fight for your affection! Do you think that’s going to make me happy?”

Ye Tianxin was overjoyed upon hearing Li Qingcang say that. She reached her hand out and lightly tugged on Li Qingcang’s ear.

“Shame on you. What kind of father fights with his son over his wife’s affection?”

Li Qingcang grabbed Ye Tianxin’s hand, which was so soft it seemed as though there were no bones inside. she said, “Well then Tianxin, tell me: after we have the kid, who will you love the most?”

Ye Tianxin kissed Li Qingcang’s handsome face.

“Who else could it be? The answer is you.”

Ye Tianxin’s moist, watery eyes looked at Li Qingcang with a loving expression.

“You will always come first before the baby.”

Li Qingcang sighed long and deep. He said, “I haven’t had enough time with just you yet.”
