It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

The call from the hospital brought the long-awaited good news. Wu Xinyan's attending physician spoke with a hint of relief in his tone: "Ms. Wu, all your indicators have improved. Keep up the good news, and there is hope for a full recovery." Wu Xinyan's hand trembled slightly as she held the phone, and she could hardly believe her ears.

Hope, when she was about to give up, the dawn of hope finally appeared.

She immediately dialed Luo Yichen's number, her voice choked with sobs: "Yichen, the doctor said... my health has improved..." Luo Yichen was in the conference room. Hearing the news, he stood up suddenly, his tone full of excitement: "Really? That's great! Xinyan, wait for me, I'll be back soon!" He hurriedly ended the meeting, ignored everyone's surprised eyes, rushed out of the company, and drove to the hospital.

Seeing Luo Yichen rushing into the ward anxiously, Wu Xinyan showed a faint smile on her face.

Luo Yichen held her hand tightly, his eyes slightly red: "Xinyan, you are finally getting better..." "Yeah," Wu Xinyan leaned lightly on his shoulder, "I didn't expect..."

In the following days, Wu Xinyan's condition gradually stabilized and her complexion improved day by day.

Luo Yichen seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and a smile appeared on his face again.

He turned down some unnecessary social engagements and spent more time with Wu Xinyan, accompanying her for walks, chatting with her, and doing everything she wanted to do.

Not long after, a bigger surprise came - Wu Xinyan was pregnant.

Luo Yichen was overjoyed and carefully protected Wu Xinyan, fearing that she would get hurt.

He began to study various parenting books and his room was filled with baby supplies.

However, Wu Xinyan's joy was mixed with a hint of worry.

She stroked her slightly bulging belly, a hint of uneasiness in her eyes: "Yichen, do you think... can I give birth to this child smoothly?" Luo Yichen hugged her tightly and said firmly: "Of course! I will always be by your side, and we will welcome the arrival of this little life together."

He stroked her hair gently, his eyes full of love and expectation.

However, he did not notice the worry that flashed across Wu Xinyan's eyes... "Yichen, what do you say...how should we educate this child?" Wu Xinyan's voice was very soft, but it stunned Luo Yichen.

He put down the parenting book in his hand, his eyes flickered, "This... let's talk about it after the baby is born..." "No, I think we should think about it now," Wu Xinyan sat up straight, her tone serious, "I don't want our child..."

After Wu Xinyan became pregnant, Luo Yichen seemed to have found a new goal.

He began to study various parenting books frantically, taking notes on everything from prenatal music to early childhood education courses.

He firmly believes that to give children the best education, one must start with prenatal education.

He even started planning his children's future, from kindergarten to college, and even considered their future career direction.

"Xinyan, look, this book says that listening to Mozart's music during the fetal period can improve the child's intelligence." Luo Yichen pointed to a thick parenting encyclopedia and said excitedly to Wu Xinyan.

Wu Xinyan gently stroked her bulging belly, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Yichen, I think you are a little too nervous. The child hasn't been born yet, and you have already planned his life."

"How can this be called being nervous? This is called preparing for a rainy day!" Luo Yichen was a little unhappy. "I hope our children will win at the starting line and not lose to others."

"But life is not a race. Everyone has their own pace." Wu Xinyan tried to persuade him, "I hope our children can grow up happily and not be constrained by your plans."

"Happy? How can you be happy without competitiveness? In this society, survival of the fittest is the eternal law." Luo Yichen's tone hardened, "I've suffered, and I don't want our children to suffer again."

"But, is your so-called success really what the child wants?" Wu Xinyan asked back.

She thought of her childhood, which was materially poor but full of freedom and happiness.

She hopes that her children can also have a carefree childhood, instead of being filled with various cram schools and interest classes.

"Of course it's what I want, and it's what the child should want!" Luo Yichen was a little impatient, "You don't understand anything!"

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions: "Yichen, we should respect the child's choice instead of imposing our will on him."

"Respect? What does a child understand?" Luo Yichen slammed the book shut with a cold tone, "After he is born, I will have the final say!" He turned and left the room, leaving Wu Xinyan sitting alone on the bed, stroking her belly with a complicated look in her eyes.

"Baby," she whispered softly, "your dad...seems a little anxious..."

Chapter 76 Xiwei: A sign of turning point

The early morning sunlight shines through the gauze curtains and falls on Wu Xinyan's pale face.

She slowly opened her eyes and felt her body feel a little more relaxed than in the past few days.

Since she became pregnant, her health has not been very good. She has suffered from severe morning sickness and has become increasingly thinner.

Luo Yichen saw it all and felt pain in his heart, but he also became more determined to give his child the best future.

"Xinyan, are you awake?" Luo Yichen walked to the bedside with a cup of warm milk and carefully helped her sit up.

Wu Xinyan took the milk and took a sip: "I feel much better today." A faint smile bloomed on her face, like the faint morning light, bringing a glimmer of hope to Luo Yichen.

"That's good, that's good." Luo Yichen's tense nerves relaxed a little. However, this brief moment of peace was soon broken again.

"Yichen, regarding the child's education..." Wu Xinyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to talk to him again, "I think we should..."

"Xinyan," Luo Yichen interrupted her, "I know what you want to say. But have you ever thought about how competitive society is now? If we don't train him from a young age, how will he gain a foothold in the future?"

"But……"

"No buts!" Luo Yichen raised his voice a little, "I don't want him to lose at the starting line!" He thought of the hardships of his childhood, and there was an imperceptible tremor in his tone.

Wu Xinyan looked at Luo Yichen's excited expression and felt aggrieved.

She understood his concerns, but she hoped her child could have a happy childhood.

"Yi Chen, listen to me..."

"I don't want to hear it!" Luo Yichen stood up suddenly. "You are always so naive! You don't understand how cruel this society is!"

"Luo Yichen!" Wu Xinyan also raised her voice, "Why do you say I don't understand? I..." She suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain, her face turned pale in an instant, and her hands covered her stomach tightly.

"Xinyan! What's wrong with you?" Luo Yichen panicked when he saw her painful expression, and all his anger disappeared.

He quickly supported her and said, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll call a doctor..."

Wu Xinyan bit her lip, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and uttered a few words with difficulty: "Child... My child..."

Luo Yichen hurriedly pressed the emergency call bell at the bedside and waited anxiously for the doctor to arrive.

He held Wu Xinyan's cold hand tightly, his tone full of self-blame: "Xinyan, hold on, the doctor will be here soon." He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if something happened to the child.

The doctor arrived quickly and performed an emergency examination on Wu Xinyan.

After a busy period, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Luo, your wife was just frightened, and her excessive emotional fluctuations caused uterine contractions. The child is fine at the moment, but needs to rest in bed to avoid further stimulation."

Luo Yichen finally felt relieved.

He gently stroked Wu Xinyan's forehead and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, Xinyan, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."

Wu Xinyan shook her head weakly, a tear sliding down the corner of her eye.

She was not entirely sad because of Luo Yichen's roar, but was more worried about the future of her child.

She understood that Luo Yichen's starting point was good, but his overly strong educational philosophy made her feel uneasy.

In the next few days, Luo Yichen stayed by Wu Xinyan's side all the time and took care of her meticulously.

He no longer mentioned his children's education and seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic.

Wu Xinyan's body gradually recovered, but an invisible barrier appeared between the two of them.

They used to talk about everything, but now they are often silent.

One evening, Luo Yichen sat on the edge of the bed, watching the setting sun outside the window, and said softly, "Xinyan, after the baby is born, we will move to our new villa in the suburbs. The environment there is good, the air is fresh, and it will be good for the baby too."

Wu Xinyan turned her head and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Okay." She knew that Luo Yichen had already started making plans for the child's future.

Near the new villa in the suburbs, there happened to be a private kindergarten that Luo Yichen had mentioned before, which was famous for its elite education...
