President, the deceased lady has three more children

"Xingxing, it's all my fault for letting Fu Yunchuan go with you, which is why the children are so scared and sick now." Madam Fu held Nanxing's hand, feeling guilty and heartbroken.

Nanxing was indeed angry when she heard Fu's mother say that Zebao ate carrots because of Fu Yunchuan, but she quickly calmed down.

“Mom, this has nothing to do with you and Grandma, you don’t need to blame yourselves.”

She knew very well what kind of personalities her grandmother and Fu's mother were. If she didn't explain things clearly, she would feel guilty and blame herself for a long time. Besides, this matter had nothing to do with the two of them in the first place.

"Moreover, it would be too easy for Fu Yunchuan to find out where the children are. The only one to blame is the marriage that Fu Yunchuan and I should never have had. If I hadn't been so blind back then, things wouldn't be like this now."

"Xingxing, back then it was all Mom..."

“Mom, don’t say it was all your and Grandma’s fault back then.” Nanxing interrupted Fu’s mother. “Actually, you both know that if it weren’t for my own faults back then, no matter what you two say, it wouldn’t make a difference.”

"However, if it weren't for that marriage that shouldn't have happened back then, I wouldn't have three such lovely and sensible children."

"Three children?" Mrs. Fu asked instinctively.

Nanxing's face stiffened slightly, and she was annoyed that she had blurted everything out without thinking.

"Yes, three children. If I hadn't married Fu Yunchuan, I wouldn't have had Ze Bao and Mu Bao. And if I hadn't married Fu Yunchuan, I wouldn't have had a relationship with Lin Ke and given birth to Qin Bao. So how can this not be considered a cause and effect?"

So I don't blame you. You and Grandma shouldn't live with guilt and self-blame anymore. I just hope you can both be happy, otherwise I'll have betrayed my determination to tell you the identities of our two children.

"Okay, Mom understands. I just feel sorry for you, and for all the years you've suffered."

Mrs. Fu did not doubt Nanxing's explanation, because in her mind Nanxing would never say anything incorrect.

Nanxing's tense heart relaxed a little.

"And Mom, I know the children are stubborn. At the time, they were just trying to prove that they had nothing to do with Fu Yunchuan. They just wanted to distance themselves from Fu Yunchuan."

Even if you had stopped them then, the children wouldn't have listened; they would have only tried harder to prove they had nothing to do with Fu Yunchuan.

When Fu's mother recalled Ze Bao's stubborn and indifferent little face at the time, and how Mu Bao felt sorry for her but did not stop her, her eyes also reddened slightly.

"The two children are very smart, with exceptional intelligence, so they are much more mature than ordinary children, and they understand many things." Since she had already brought it up, Nanxing decided to say everything.

“At first, they didn’t know that Fu Yunchuan existed. It was only later, when Jie Jie and I were chatting and they overheard us, that they asked me about him.”

“I asked them if they wanted to come back and visit, but they only said no, and that they wouldn’t acknowledge this father. Mom, I’m telling you all this just to tell you that I won’t let Fu Yunchuan take the child back. If one day Fu Yunchuan and I really end up at odds, I hope you won’t blame me.”

Nanxing knew that Fu Yunchuan's reaction today made everything clear; the children's identities wouldn't be kept secret for long, so she needed to explain things to Fu's mother and grandmother.

"No, how could we blame you? We will never blame you, no matter what."

Fu's mother's hand touched Nanxing's cheek, carrying a faint warmth that made one feel at ease.

In the ward.

Amy and Lin Ke remained silent until they were sure the children were completely asleep, at which point Amy whispered to Lin Ke.

“Wearing a mask all the time isn’t a good thing. The marks on your mouth and face will take several days to heal. You can’t keep wearing a mask all the time, can you? Nanxing already thought it was wrong of you to wear a mask. If you keep wearing it like this for a few more days, she’ll definitely be suspicious.”

"Knowing Nanxing as I do, you might as well just tell her about it directly, so she won't be even angrier when she finds out, and she'll also be angry that you kept it from her."

"she……"

"Amy, senior brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean by marks on the face? And why did you hide it from me?"

Nanxing's voice rang out from the direction of the door. When the two turned around, they realized that Nanxing had been standing behind them at some point.

Since both of them had their backs to the door, neither of them noticed Nanxing's presence.

Nanxing quickly walked in, looked at the two of them and asked, "Amy, what were you talking about just now? Senior brother, what exactly happened to your face? Take off your mask and let me see."

"I was just wondering why you were wearing a mask the whole time, and no matter how I asked you, you kept making excuses and wouldn't tell me."

Lin Ke sighed, unsure how to bring it up with Nan Xing.

Amy didn't have so many complicated concerns. She directly took off Lin Ke's mask, revealing the bruises on Lin Ke's mouth and left cheek.

It's obvious that the marks were left after someone hit him.

Nanxing stared in surprise, a vague guess forming in her mind.

"Was it Fu Yunchuan who hit him?"

She remembered that Fu Yunchuan had said he wouldn't mind hitting Lin Ke again, and Lin Ke's reluctance to tell her was obviously because he was afraid she would worry. The only person who would affect her mood and whom she didn't want Lin Ke to tell her was Fu Yunchuan.

“Yes, but it wasn’t a one-sided fight by Fu Yunchuan. It was a mutual brawl, but Lin Ke didn’t fight back, so he has a little mark on his face,” Amy answered for Lin Ke.

"I can only say that I'm not as skilled as them, there's nothing more to say," Lin Ke said helplessly.

“Fu Yunchuan has been trained by someone since he was a child. How could you possibly beat him?” Nanxing looked at the scars on Lin Ke’s face with a mixture of guilt and anger.

Lin Ke smiled helplessly. He knew he couldn't beat him, but he had no choice; the situation at the time left him no option but to fight.

"So what exactly happened? Did Fu Yunchuan strike first?" Nanxing continued to ask. Although it was a question, her tense expression said it all. She was certain that Fu Yunchuan had struck first.

Lin Ke knew he couldn't hide it from Nan Xing, so he could only nod.

"I guess so, because I was angry with him and he made me go to treat Lu Mingzhu. Although it was Vice President Li who asked me to go, when I saw the situation, I thought of you back then."

"Thinking about how hard and wronged you were back then, and how Fu Yunchuan is now so concerned about Lu Mingzhu, I became a bit sharper in my words. He got so angry that he punched me, and then we started fighting each other."

Lin Ke did not distort the facts because he disliked Fu Yunchuan; he simply told the truth about what happened at the time.

"You mean, he asked you to treat Lu Mingzhu?" Nanxing asked Lin Ke, perhaps unaware of how unpleasant her expression was.

Seeing her like this, Amy frowned slightly with worry.

"I guess so. At the time, Vice President Li just thought that because of my relationship with you, I had a way to go back, so he let me go back. It wasn't Fu Yunchuan who sent me there."

"After I arrived, Fu Yunchuan saw me and asked me to go and see him. Then he mentioned you, and that's when the conflict started," Lin Ke explained calmly to Nan Xing.

"Furthermore, I have already spoken with Vice President Li and agreed that I will no longer be seeing patients at the hospital."

"Not seeing patients anymore?" Nanxing hadn't even recovered from the incident of Fu Yunchuan hitting Lin Ke when she heard Lin Ke's words, and her brows furrowed even more instantly.

"Yes, I'm not seeing patients anymore." Lin Ke looked quite calm and relaxed. "I originally planned to come back to China to spend time with you all and do some academic exchanges here as well."

"But now I feel there's no need to stay in the hospital for so-called academic exchanges anymore. I'd rather spend more time with Amy and make sure you can reach me anytime."

Don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with you. I just happen to want to get some rest.

Nanxing took a deep breath and replied to Lin Ke, "Don't worry, I won't overthink it."

She looked at Amy again and found that Amy was also somewhat surprised by Lin Ke's words about spending more time with him.

Her mood suddenly improved a little. Although there were many things to do and things were chaotic, the relationship between the two of them was getting deeper and deeper, which was a good thing.

"Amy, how is Auntie? Is she alright?" she asked again, trying to change the subject about Fu Yunchuan.

Amy paused slightly. "That's about it. I've already prepared myself mentally. You don't need to worry too much about me. I've been used to it and mentally prepared for it for so many years."

"What about He Feng? Did he say anything else to you?" Nanxing asked again.

"He didn't say anything, just came to the hospital to see me twice. We just chatted casually and he said things like we were brothers. I guess he was trying to win me over."

"But he also knows very well that he can't win me over. At least I haven't given him any indication that I would help him, so there are some things he won't easily tell me."

Nanxing simply nodded, telling Amy to keep a close eye on things and to call if there were any problems. She didn't ask any further questions, just sat in the hospital room watching the children.

Lin Ke and Amy knew she must be in a bad mood, so they just stayed with her silently without asking any questions.

It's obvious without asking that Madam Fu must have already gone back, otherwise why wouldn't she come in at this hour?

A little later, Yun Shen arrived with Yun Yuan. They had learned about the children's situation from the headmaster.

When they arrived, the children's fevers had subsided, and they looked somewhat tired because of their illness, but that didn't stop them from taking the children back.

In the darkness of night, Nanxing held Qinbao in his arms, while Yun Shen and Yun Yuan held Zebao and Mubao respectively.

Fu Yunchuan stood not far away and watched them get into the car one by one, including Lin Ke and Amy.

Yun Yuan was the last to board the bus. Mu Bao rested her head on his shoulder, and when she looked up, she made eye contact with Fu Yun Chuan under the lamplight not far away.

He was already feeling drowsy and unwell, but when he saw Fu Yunchuan standing under the light wearing only a coat and a hospital gown, he inexplicably pouted and then buried his eyes in Yun Yuan's neck.

Just as Yun Yuan was about to step into the car, he felt a slightly damp and warm sensation on his neck.

He paused, a hint of heartache on his face.

How painful must it be for a child who is usually so strong to be unable to hold back their tears?

He gently patted Mu Bao's head and comforted her, "It's okay to cry if you're upset or uncomfortable. It's all normal. Your second uncle will hug you."

Upon hearing Yun Yuan's words, Mu Bao's body stiffened slightly before she spoke in a muffled voice.

"I didn't cry. Second Uncle is overthinking it. How could I possibly cry?"

How could I possibly cry because I saw Fu Yunchuan? I would never cry. I never cried even when I fell and hurt myself before. It must be because I have a high fever and feel terrible. That's right, it must be because I have a high fever and feel terrible.

Mu Bao blinked hard, forcing back the tears welling up in her eyes.

Yun Yuan didn't refute, but felt that Mu Bao was being stubborn, so he gently coaxed her into the car. Then he got in and closed the car door, blocking the unnoticed but focused gaze from outside.

The car drove away into the night.

Under the streetlights, Fu Yunchuan remained in the same position. He had been looking at Nanxing, and after Nanxing got on the bus, he looked at the children. Just now, during the last eye contact with Mu Bao, the child's gaze caused him a dull ache in his heart.

Especially the three children who are usually so lively and can run and jump on their own, are now just listlessly being carried around.

How could he not feel heartache, guilt, or worry?

And Nanxing...

Thinking of the questions Nanxing had asked him today, his heart ached a thousand times more.

"President, let's go back. The young mistress and the young masters have left. The young masters' fevers have subsided, so there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, the young mistress is here. She is a renowned doctor herself, so how could she possibly let anything happen to the young masters?"

Jiang Bai, who had been standing beside Fu Yunchuan, spoke up. He looked at Fu Yunchuan, who was only wearing a coat and a hospital gown, and was also a little worried.

At first, the president did return to the ward, but he did not rest. Instead, he smoked alone on the balcony of the ward, silently staring ahead. He also asked someone to keep an eye on the young mistress and the young masters, and to call him as soon as they were discharged from the hospital.

That's why we have this scene now, a scene that evokes a sense of desolation and loneliness.

"Jiang Bai," Fu Yunchuan's voice was hoarse, "If the children really get hurt because of this carrot, do you think I can go on living? Do I even deserve to live?"

"President!" Jiang Bai was startled. "Don't think like that. The young masters are all safe and sound now. Please don't do anything rash."

Fu Yunchuan gazed in the direction the car had left. "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I finally got Nanxing back, why would I do anything rash?"

Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, no matter what, at least the young mistress is here now, and there are two young masters too. You must take good care of yourself."

Fu Yunchuan did not answer Jiang Bai's questions, but simply gave the following instructions:

"Make sure people are well prepared and give the PR team a good talking-to. I don't want to see any negative comments about the children online in the next few days."

Jiang Bai nodded subconsciously, then looked at Fu Yunchuan in surprise.

"President, do you mean... you're going to reveal the young masters' identities?"
