After Mrs. Lin asked that question, no one in the high-class ward broke the silence for a long time.
The air flow seemed to have slowed down as well...
Lin Feiâer forced a smile, and her hand under the blanket slightly clenched.
âMom, I didnât expect that to happen either. The matter between me and Miss Sheng is a little complicated. Iâll tell you about it in a few days, okay?â
Lin Feiâerâs voice was extremely calm, but it was the same as saying nothing. Mrs. Linâs expression changed again and again.
Mrs. Lin frowned. She sighed deeply and reached out to stroke the strands of hair on her daughterâs forehead.
âFeiâer, I know youâve been troubled lately, but if thereâs anything, you have to tell your parents, okay?â
Mrs. Lin felt that Su Wan would definitely know about this. She had already planned to have a good talk with Su Wan later and ask Lin Feiâer in detail what was troubling her.
In the past week, Lin Feiâerâs mood had been very strange.
In the past, Lin Feiâer would call home every day or two, but this week, she was the one who took the initiative to call. Moreover, as a mother, Lin Feiâer could naturally hear that something was troubling her daughter.
However, her daughter was already so old, so Mrs. Lin couldnât force her to tell her.
She initially thought that Lin Feiâer was upset because Li Peng had come to disturb her many times recently. However, after Sheng Anâningâs knife-wielding murder attempt today, Mrs. Lin realized that things werenât normal.
A faint light flashed in Mr. Linâs old eyes. He looked at Lin Feiâer and asked softly.
âFeiâer, is the child in your belly okay?â
Su Wan smiled when she heard that. She glanced at the quiet Lin Feiâer and answered on her behalf.
âUncle, of course you donât have to ask such a question. If something happened to the child, Feiâer wouldnât be so calm.â
Hearing Su Wanâs words, Mrs. Lin also smiled. Feiâerâs father was really confused. Feiâer liked children so much, so she probably treated the child in her belly with more importance than anything else.
Jiang Haoxuan quickly brewed two cups of hot tea and handed them to Mr. and Mrs. Lin respectively.
âUncle, you donât have to worry. I took Feiâer for a series of body checks earlier. Feiâer is fine, and the child in her stomach is also fine.â
When Su Wan heard the word âFeiâerâ from Jiang Haoxuanâs mouth, her beautiful eyebrows raised in surprise!
She clearly remembered that Jiang Haoxuan had always called Lin Feiâer by her full name. When did he become so intimate with her?
Moreover, Jiang Haoxuan spoke so naturally as if he had always been like this.
Mrs. Lin took the cup of Longjing Green tea from Jiang Haoxuanâs hand. She looked at Jiang Haoxuan through the teaâs steam and suddenly recalled the identity of this person.
âAre you Mr. Jiangâs younger brother?â
Jiang Haoxuan was used to being attached to a series of relationship pronouns since he was young, such as grandfather Jiangâs grandson, Xu Ziyaoâs son, and Jiang Xuechengâs younger brother.
Jiang Haoxuan was mentally good and strong, so he was used to this kind of address.
Of course, it was still okay to address him like this for the first time, but if it happened again and again, Jiang Haoxuan would also feel a little stifled.
After all, he was not anyoneâs accessory. Jiang Haoxuan was just Jiang Haoxuan, that was all.
âYeah, does Aunty think that I look similar to big brother?â
Mrs. Lin looked at Jiang Xuecheng and Jiang Haoxuan at the same time, and couldnât help but start to praise him.
âYouâre both good-looking!â
âAunty, youâre flattering me. If Aunty and Uncle do not mind, you can just call me Haoxuan.â
Being praised like this by his future mother-in-law, Jiang Haoxuan couldnât help but laugh and look over at Lin Feiâer.
From the way Jiang Haoxuan had addressed his daughter as âFeiâer, â Mr. Lin couldnât help but pay more attention to Jiang Haoxuan.
Seeing the interaction between Lin Feiâer and Jiang Haoxuanâs eyes, coupled with Jiang Haoxuanâs familiarity, Mr. Linâs eyes darkened.
Jiang Haoxuan and their daughter seemed to be very close, but how could he not remember when Lin Feiâer had such a male friend?
Mr. Lin coughed lightly, and his deep voice immediately lingered in the ward.
âHaoxuan, when did you and Feiâer meet?â
Mr. Lin stood with his hands behind his back, and the light in the ward shone on Mr. Linâs refined face, giving him an air of authority without anger.
When Jiang Haoxuan met Mr. Linâs gaze, he couldnât help but feel a little guilty. He had a feeling that Mr. Lin seemed to have noticed something.
âHaoxuan only returned to the country a few months ago. We got to know each other through Wan. Because we have many similar hobbies, we regret not meeting each other sooner.â
The person who spoke wasnât Jiang Haoxuan, but Lin Feiâer, who was on the sickbed.
Lin Feiâerâs expression was indifferent, but she explained even faster than Jiang Haoxuan. Mr. Lin couldnât help but have some doubts in his heart.
âHaoxuan, can you come out with me first?â
When Mr. Linâs words fell into his ears, Jiang Haoxuan was startled and was about to nod his head in agreement
However, when Lin Feiâer heard this, she immediately became anxious. She immediately shouted, âHaoxuan, didnât you say that there were many things to do? Itâs been hard on you to send me to the hospital. Why donât you go back first?â
Those who were in the middle were confused, while those who were watching from the sidelines were clear.
The faster Lin Feiâer explained, the more she cleared for Jiang Haoxuan, and the more Mr. Lin smelled an unusual scent.
âIâm just casually asking a few questions. I wonât delay Haoxuan for more than a few minutes. Haoxuan, what do you think?â
Mr. Lin gave Lin Feiâer a sideways glance. His voice was faint, but there was no room for refusal.
Lin Feiâerâs expression was anxious. âButâââ
Mr. Linâs words immediately stopped Lin Feiâerâs mouth.
âHaoxuan didnât even speak. Feiâer, whatâs wrong with you today?â
Jiang Haoxuan smiled awkwardly and could only reply, âyes, I still have a few minutes. Uncle Lin, letâs go out first.â
Seeing that Jiang Haoxuan and her father were walking out of the door, Lin Feiâer looked anxiously at Jiang Haoxuan, hinting that Jiang Haoxuan should be careful when he went out.
This time, not only Mr. Lin, but even Mrs. Lin also sensed that something seemed to be going on between her daughter and Jiang Haoxuan.
Could it be that there was something between Feiâer and Jiang Haoxuan...
Mrs. Lin was shocked by her own thoughts and could not believe it for a moment. After all, the Jiang familyâs status was not ordinary, and Lin Feiâerâs current situation was even more special.
Su Wan watched as Jiang Haoxuanâs figure disappeared outside the door. She exchanged a glance with Jiang Xuecheng and already understood that Mr. Lin had seen through the essence of the matter.
Mr. Lin brought Jiang Haoxuan to the balcony on the fifth floor.
It was just past two oâclock in the afternoon, and the scorching sun hung outside. The scorching sunlight scorched the earth, and there were cicadas chirping tirelessly on the trees.
Mr. Lin stretched out his hand to hold the railing. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky for a while. Then, he silently turned his head and fixed his gaze on Jiang Haoxuan.
Mr. Linâs gaze carried the solemnity of an elder. He stared at Jiang Haoxuan without blinking. The meaning of his scrutiny was self-evident.
âHaoxuan, I only want to ask you one thing. Is the child in Feiâerâs stomach yours?â
