Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 435 I'm so happy

The ward fell silent. Zhiyuan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on Lin Qingping's belly, unsure of what to do with his hands. He asked cautiously, "Mom, does it hurt?"

Lin Qingping smiled slightly, "It doesn't hurt, really, it doesn't hurt at all now."

Zhiyuan nodded, but the tension on his little face remained unchanged.

Lin Qingping smiled gently, "Zhiyuan, from now on, there will be four people in our family."

Her soft voice, uttering those words in a low tone, made her appear gentle and warm.

Zhiyuan was initially taken aback, but then he realized that these four people included him...

In that instant, his heart was filled with warmth, and even his eyes welled up with tears.

He nodded vigorously, "Yes, Mom!"

Lin Qingping reached out and gently wiped away the dirt that he had picked up on his face during his busy day, and said with a smile, "You're going to be a big brother."

"Mom..." Zhiyuan choked up, "I'm so happy."

The mother and son were talking softly, a very heartwarming scene, but on the island, the situation was quite different.

Fang Tuan did not participate in this mission.

In the evening, when Fang Tuan returned home, he found his son sitting on the steps at the front door, staring motionless in the direction of the door.

"Fang Yi! What are you doing sitting here?" And sitting on the ground, his mother will scold him for being unhygienic.

Fang Yi didn't speak, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying. In fact, he had been sitting here for most of the day. Ever since Aunt Lin next door was taken away and his mother took him home, he had been sitting here.

Fang Tuan noticed that her son had been crying. She glanced around the room, squatted down, and asked him in a low voice, "Did your mother scold you again?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi's tears, which had been welling up in his eyes, immediately fell. He truly hoped that today's events had only resulted in his mother scolding him.

"What's wrong? Say something! Tell your father, and I'll plead for you," Fang Tuan coaxed his son.

Fang Yi gripped his father's hand, tears already streaming down his face. "Dad, how long does it take to get from the island to the outside world by boat?"

Fang Yi is not old enough to go to school yet, and he can't even count.

"Why are you asking this?" Fang Tuan asked, a little puzzled. Could it be that this kid was trying to sneak off the island again?

"Well..." Fang Yi thought for a moment, then changed his question, "How long has it been since before lunch?"

"Fang Yi, what exactly do you want to do?" Fang Tuan was confused by his son's question.

Fang Yi lowered his head and stopped asking.

He probably knew.

In the past, when Zhiyuan asked for leave to run away from the island, he would leave without having lunch and be able to get back before his father got off work. But now, his father has already gotten off work, so why haven't Aunt Lin and Zhiyuan come back yet?

He's been sitting here, waiting for them to come back.

But he didn't dare tell his father, afraid that his parents would argue again...

Unable to get any answers from her son, Fang Tuan went inside to ask Shu Xiaowen.

As soon as he entered, he sensed something was wrong. Shu Xiaowen had actually come up to greet him today, and she was even smiling obsequiously.

"What happened today?" he asked directly.

Shu Xiaowen's smile faltered slightly, then she smiled even brighter. "What could it be?"

After saying that, she glared at him and said, "What do you mean? You become suspicious and distrustful just because I'm nice to you? You deserve to be treated harshly!"

Fang Tuan: ...

Even so, he still felt something was wrong.

"Let's eat. We've been waiting for you to get off work. Dinner's ready." Shu Xiaowen called out to the outside, "Xiaoyi, come in and eat!"

Fang Yi did not move.

"Fang Yi?" Fang Tuan called out, but his son seemed not to hear him and went out again.

Fang Yi didn't hear it because all his attention was focused on the road leading to the family quarters. At that moment, several figures were walking towards them, of varying heights, looking like adults and children walking together.

There were only so many children on the island, and he figured it must be Zhiyuan and his friends!

He was extremely anxious, but he couldn't shout, so he simply got up and ran towards them.

However, halfway through the run, he suddenly wondered if they would dislike him.

Thinking of this, he felt very sad again. He used to be so close to Zhiyuan and Chen Lei...

However, he couldn't ignore his mother's words; she said it was for his own good...

Fang Yi stopped halfway through his run. Fang Tuan, who was behind him, saw his son suddenly start running wildly and chased after him. They caught up just in time.

"Fang Yi, dinner's ready. Where did you run off to?" Fang Tuan asked, picking up his son.

Ahead, Ding Yurong and Gong Xiaomei returned with several children, along with Dr. Yang.

Fang Yi looked at them one by one, twice, but he didn't see Lin Qingping.

Fang Yi's face turned pale.

Fang Tuan greeted them, and when everyone walked up to them, Fang Yi suddenly rushed out, grabbed Dr. Yang's hand, and choked up, unable to speak clearly, "Aunt Lin... Aunt Lin..."

"Comrade Lin is currently hospitalized for observation and will be back in a few days," Dr. Yang told Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was stunned.

Hospitalized? Coming back?

That means Aunt Lin didn't die!

Fang Yi burst into tears.

Great! Aunt Lin isn't dead! Great!

When I went back to my hometown with my dad, my grandma told me about someone who died from labor pains during childbirth...

Aunt Lin is not dead, that's wonderful!

However, this unexpected turn of events completely baffled Fang Tuan. What exactly happened?

"What's wrong with Comrade Lin?" Fang Tuan asked Dr. Yang.

"Oh, Comrade Lin is pregnant." Dr. Yang knew what had happened, but it wasn't easy to tell Fang Tuan what had happened!

The others didn't say anything and went home. They went to Lin Qingping's house to pack some things to take with them first thing tomorrow morning.

Fang Tuan was even more confused. Wasn't it a good thing that Comrade Lin was pregnant? Why was it so strange? And why was his own son crying?

"Fang Yi? What happened?" Fang Tuan frowned and asked his son.

Fang Yi just cried and said nothing.

Fang Tuan then connected the dots of what had just happened and suddenly realized that this matter was probably related to Shu Xiaowen.

He took Fang Yi's hand and immediately turned back.

Shu Xiaowen had actually been paying close attention to what was happening outside.

She saw Fang Yi and Fang Tuan run out, and watched them talking to Dr. Yang and others, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. When she saw Fang Tuan return with a tense face, her heart clenched.

"Shu Xiaowen!" Fang Tuan's tone was very unpleasant when he entered the house.

Shu Xiaowen knew she was doomed; those people would definitely tell Fang Tuan. She immediately defended herself, "How was I supposed to know she was pregnant? I didn't do it on purpose!"

Okay, so the problem was indeed with her...

He hasn't asked anything yet!

"Dad... Dad, don't scold... Mom, it's all my fault... I'm so bad!" Fang Yi, who was already crying, started hiccuping as he cried.
