The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

However, Grandpa Lin did not seem to completely believe his grandson's words, and continued to say relentlessly: "You have to listen to me, Wei Ye! Don't spend all your time in that damn company. Back then, when Xinyi was born, you rushed to the hospital almost at the last moment. You must not do that again this time!" At this point, the old man's tone unconsciously became heavier, and it was obvious that he still remembered what happened back then.

Hearing his grandfather's recollection of the past, Lin Weiye couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He quickly nodded and replied, "Grandpa, I truly know I was wrong. This time, I've made arrangements ahead of time. Once Yingying's belly is seven months old, I'll drop all my work and stay home with her, taking good care of her until the baby is born safely." After saying this, he seemed to be issuing a military order, his eyes filled with determination.

"Okay, that's what you said!" After hearing Lin Weiye's decisive answer, Mr. Lin fell silent and said no more. After a while, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.

At this time, Lin Weiye's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Grandpa, if you have nothing else to do, I will hang up and get busy with work." Old man Lin frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, and said calmly: "Well, you continue to work, there is nothing else I need to tell you." Just as the voice fell, there was a "beep" sound, and the phone was hung up.

Lin Weiye stared blankly at the now-hang-up phone call, a wave of loss welling up in his heart. He could never have imagined that his standing in his grandfather's eyes would decline so dramatically since Xu Yingying became pregnant. The image of the grandson once cherished and beloved by his grandfather seemed to have vanished overnight.

However, Lin Weiye knew all this was understandable. After all, for the family, the arrival of a new life meant hope and inheritance. And at that moment, deep down, he truly wanted to care for Xu Yingying wholeheartedly until the child was born safely. He recalled how he was so busy with work when his eldest daughter, Xinyi, was born, and how little attention he paid to the family. It wasn't until later, when he gradually realized the depth of his love for his wife, that he began to slowly change.

Now that Xu Yingying is pregnant again, this feeling has intensified. Every morning when he arrives at the office, Lin Weiye spends considerable time preparing himself mentally. Otherwise, once he gets down to work, his thoughts inevitably drift back to Xu Yingying and their unborn baby. He constantly worries about whether Xu Yingying is eating on time, getting enough sleep, and staying in a good mood.

In the evening, when Lin Weiye returned home, the first thing he did was look for Xu Yingying.

Seeing Xu Yingying and Lin Xinyi watching TV in the hall, he walked towards her.

Xu Yingying said with a smile, "Are you back?" Her eyes fell gently on her husband who walked in from the door.

When Lin Xinyi heard the voice, she immediately jumped up from the sofa, ran towards her father happily, and shouted, "Dad, you are finally back! Mom and I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Then she affectionately took Lin Weiye's arm.

Lin Weiye gently patted his daughter's hand, turned to look at his wife Xu Yingying, and asked with concern: "Well, dear, how do you feel today? Are you feeling uncomfortable or having any troubles?" As he spoke, he walked to the sofa and sat down.

Lin Xinyi also sat obediently next to her father, listening quietly to the conversation between her parents. Her big eyes blinked from time to time, looking very cute.

Xu Yingying raised her head slightly, with a happy smile on her face, and replied: "It's fine, everything is going well, you don't have to worry about me. But you, are you busy at work? Don't work too hard." After that, she stood up and poured a glass of water for Lin Weiye and handed it to him.

Lin Weiye took the cup of water, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can handle it. It's just that thinking of you at home, I am always worried, afraid that you will need me and I'm not around." Then he touched Lin Xinyi's little head again, his eyes full of fatherly love.

Lin Xinyi blinked her bright eyes and said to her father with anticipation, "Dad, when will my little brother and sister come out of Mom's belly and play with me? I really want to see them soon!"

Lin Weiye, who was sitting beside her, smiled and patted his daughter's head. He replied softly, "Don't worry, honey. It should be soon. So, Xinyi, would you rather have a cute little brother to keep you company, or a well-behaved little sister?"

Hearing this question, Lin Xinyi's big, watery eyes rolled around, and then she tilted her little head, supported her chin with her little hand, and fell into deep thought with a serious look on her face. Time passed by minute by minute, as if everything around her had stopped. Finally, after a long while, her pink little mouth opened slightly, and she said in a baby voice: "Well... let me think about it carefully. I want a little brother who can play and play with me every day. We can go on adventures together and do a lot of fun things; but I also want a little sister so that I can take care of her like my mother takes care of me, and I can braid all kinds of pretty braids for her and dress her in beautiful flowery dresses. It will definitely be fun to take her out to play. Oh, this is such a difficult choice!"

At this moment, Xu Yingying, who had been quietly listening to her daughter's words, suddenly burst out laughing. She looked at her lovely daughter with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with endless tenderness and love, and asked softly, "Oh, my little darling, why are you so greedy? You actually want both of them?"

Lin Xinyi blinked her eyes and replied coquettishly, "Huh, it's because both brother and sister are so good. It would be a pity if I could only choose one. Mom, do you want a brother or a sister?" After that, she turned her gaze to Xu Yingying, looking forward to her mother's answer.

Xu Yingying touched her daughter's head with a smile and said softly, "Baby, this matter is not something that mom can decide. You have to ask your father!" As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xinyi immediately turned her head and turned her gaze to Lin Weiye who was sitting next to her.
