Li Xiwu held her stomach, not knowing what to do. She saw her mother squat down close to her bulging stomach and press her cheek against it. âLet Grandma hear if this little fellow is making a fuss in there.â
After listening for a while, MO Zhu slowly frowned.
Li Huaisheng asked, âWhat did you hear?â
MO Zhu glared at Li Huaisheng angrily. âDo you think you can hear everything just by listening!â
Li Huaisheng said, âI heard that when you were pregnant with Little You. I really heard it back then. This girl is not obedient at all. You suffered a lot when you were pregnant with her.â
MO Zhu smiled and stood up. âWhen you mentioned this, I was originally worried that Little You would be the same as when I was pregnant.
Fortunately, the baby didnât torture her.â
After saying that, MO Zhu looked at his daughterâs blank expression and reached out to hold her face. âWhy are you so worried?â
Li Xiwuâs lips parted. She wanted to say something, but no sound came out. She didnât know why she couldnât make a sound.
MO Zhu smiled at her lovingly. âDonât worry. Iâve already promised your father that Iâll return to the country with you. Letâs go back to Shen City first. Mom will accompany you for a complete prenatal checkup. Then, weâll set off for
Grandmaâs house in the capital. What do you think?â
Li Xiwu shook her head. She tried to speak, but she couldnât say a word.
MO Zhu asked her, âYou donât want to go back?â
Li Xiwuâs hand was trembling slightly as she held the gong citrus. She seemed to know. She knew what scene she was in. It was in a dream. She was experiencing what had happened with her current memories.
Every conversation now had really happened before.
No wonder she couldnât say what she wanted to say. She could only repeat what sheâd said before speakingâ¦
Suddenly, the scene in the dream switched. She sat in a car as it drove through the streets of Country T. There was no real winter in Country T. There were only three seasons, the hot season, the rainy season, and the cold season.
It was the cold season now, and there was no cold winter. While Li Xiwu was stunned by the sudden change in scene in front of her, Madam Di Xin put a waistcoat on her. âThe window is open. Be careful not to catch a cold when the wind blows in.â
Li Xiwu glanced sideways. It was Madam Di Xin who was sitting in the car with her. In her dream, Madam Di Xin was not much different from the Madam Di Xin she had seen in reality. Her silver-white hair was tied up, and she was graceful.
Li Xiwuâs lips parted. âMadam Di Xin.â
âYes.â Madam Di Xin smiled at her. âHave you thought it through?â
Thought what through? Li Xiwu didnât know what that meant.
Madam Di Xin said slowly, âYour motherâs condition isnât optimistic. Recently, Country T hasnât been peaceful. I guess your father is preparing to send you and your mother back to the country. The war might come at will, or it might be delayed for three to five years to maintain the surface peace, but at this time, those who know have already begun to make preparations. China is also prepared to evacuate the country at any time. Itâs best for you to go back with your mother.â
With that, Madam Di Xinâs gaze fell on her bulging stomach. âDonât be a gambler, Little You. Treasure the time you have with your mother now.â Li Xiwu shook her head subconsciously.
Madam Di Xin took her wrist and held it in her palm to give her a sense of security. âYour mother loves you, and so does your father. They all want the best for you. Little You, take my advice. Your father is your prequel. You have to do his sequel well in the future and complete the unfinished business for him.â
Li Xiwu still shook her head. She didnât know what to say. Suddenly, a tear fell on her wrist. She thought it was Madam Di Xinâs tears, but realized too late that she was crying herself.
Madam Di Xinâs hand rose to wipe the tears from her cheeks. âTwo lives. You canât afford to gamble. Cord blood might not save your mother. In the end, youâll lose these two children.â
Cord bloodâ¦
Save your motherâ¦
Two childrenâ¦
Li Xiwuâs face was filled with disbelief. What had she experienced in the past?
why was she even pregnant⦠And her mother, now did her mother dieâ¦
âYouâre pregnant without him knowing. He doesnât even have the right to
know. How painful would it be if he found out about all this one day? Little You, think about it carefully.â
Li Xiwu said nothing. But there was a voice deep inside her, and that voice was saying: But I canât live without my mother.
The words came from deep inside, then became clearer.
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed to the cold operating table. She was helpless and panicked. The doctor began to give her anesthesia. The long needle was stuck in the back of her spine. The scalpel sliced across her belly. There was no pain, but it felt so clear.
Li Xiwu was shocked by this scene. Sheâd never known sheâd had a childâ¦
Was this real? No! It wasnât real. It probably wasnât real.
The scene after that suddenly stopped.
Li Xiwu desperately wanted to know what happened after the child was cut out early. Where was the child sent? Where was her mother? How did she come back to the country? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At that moment, she seemed to have fallen into an imaginary space. Her body fell, and everything around her was black. When she could see, she found herself lying in the hospital. When she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling.
The dream passed. Was she finally awake?
The door opened gently.
Li Xiwu slowly turned her head. Someone came in and she saw that the person walking in front was Chen Xin. Pei Jingzhou walked behind him. When he came in, his face was expressionless.
Until Chen Xin, who was standing in front of the bed, said, âMiss Li, youâre awake.â
Li Xiwu opened her mouth to speak. She wanted to call out to Pei Jingzhou, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she could not make a sound.
Thatâs not rightâ¦
Why was it still the same as in her dream? She always couldnât make a sound when she was thinking about talking. She seemed to be supposed to say something else. That something was: âWho are you guys?
When the words came out of her mouth, Li Xiwu froze.
However, to her surprise, Chen Xin did not ask her what was wrong. Instead, he introduced himself. âHello, Miss Li. Iâm Chen Xin, Mr. Peiâs assistant.â Why did Chen Xin say that?
Li Xiwu didnât know what was wrong now. Wasnât she already awakeâ¦
Chen Xin stepped back a little. âMr. Pei, the doctor said that the high fever has subsided. Miss Li is completely awake now.â
Pei Jingzhou stepped forward and slowly leaned over to look at her. Unlike before, Pei Jingzhouâs eyes were emotionless when he looked at her. He stared at her for a moment. Then his thin lips parted and he said her name. âLi Xiwu.â
Li Xiwu was stunned and did not respond.
Pei Jingzhou did not seem to need her to respond. He introduced himself calmly. âMy name is Pei Jingzhou. From today onwards, I am your husband.â Li Xiwuâs pupils dilated.
If it had made her feel strange just now, then now she finally realized what the situation was like.
She wasnât awake yet.
She was still in a dream.
This dream was the first day she woke up after losing her memory and saw Pei Jingzhou..
