Lin Yiyue's dissatisfaction was so intense it almost pierced through Tang Xia, but she could only obediently leave.

Lin An'an, on the other hand, made a face at Lin Yiyue before leaving.

The locksmith said goodbye, took the money, and left.

It was already dark. Tang Xia rubbed her tired eyes and closed the door, intending to go back to her bedroom.

After a long silence, Qiao's mother suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Tang Xia, what do you mean? Are you deliberately changing the door lock to make Yi Yue unwelcome?"

Tang Xia took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, "I also paid for this house back then, and my name is on the property certificate. I just want to tell you that it has nothing to do with who you welcome, and no matter how many times you change the password behind my back, it's useless."

Qiao's mother's eyes widened, and she raised her hand to slap him.

The hand hovered in mid-air, Tang Xia firmly gripping her wrist. "If I want, I can have someone switch it back anytime. What's mine will always be mine."

Qiao's mother simply sat down to the side, poised to make a scene, "Tang Xia, what do you mean? Now you're being so clear with us, are you trying to divorce Zhiyu?"

Before giving birth to Niannian, Tang Xia and Qiao Zhiyu had a very good relationship. Although she only gave birth to a girl, the old couple were just angry that her womb was not working. They thought that once she recovered, she would continue to do IVF and try to have a son.

I really didn't intend for her to divorce Qiao Zhiyu.

After all, where else can you find such a useful daughter-in-law for free?

Mr. Qiao also thought that Mrs. Qiao's words were too serious, and immediately gave her a meaningful look.

Tang Xia gave her a cold glance, her words carrying a hidden meaning, "Don't worry, I won't divorce Zhiyu."

At least not now.

Tang Xia packed a few changes of clothes, took her laptop, and a few books related to her major.

She now has to make every second count and catch up on the time she wasted in the past few years.

Ding.

A friend request lit up on the phone next to me; the profile picture and nickname made it obvious who it was.

After much hesitation, she added Jin Xinghan as a friend.

Regardless of his intentions in approaching her, she would fight him to the death if he tried to hurt her.

But the moment her friend accepted her request, the photo the other person sent her made her burst into tears.

The photo shows her thoughts.

Its tiny hands and feet were curled up, and it lay quietly in the incubator.

She zoomed in on the photo repeatedly, not wanting to miss a single detail.

……

Upon returning to the hospital, Tang Xia couldn't wait to see Niannian.

The nurse saw her and told her about the baby's condition: "Ms. Tang, don't worry, the baby is doing well now. If there are no accidents, he can be discharged after another half month of observation. But you, it's only the fourth day, why are you running around everywhere? You need to take good care of yourself during your postpartum period. If you don't take good care of yourself during your postpartum period, you may suffer from health problems later."

Hearing the nurse's words, Tang Xia felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She received the care she had never received from her husband and in-laws, but from a stranger.

She smiled gratefully: "Thank you, I will take good care of myself."

The nurse hesitated, then finally just sighed deeply.

The story of Tang Xia had spread among them.

When I gave birth, I was all alone. When the baby had problems, my grandparents didn't even come to see me.

There was a very handsome man who would come to visit from time to time.

At first, they mistakenly believed that the man was the child's biological father.

After seeing Niannian, Tang Xia returned to her ward.

Take the breast pump out of the sterilizer.

The breast milk I expressed a couple of days ago has been mostly consumed by Nian Nian.

Furthermore, her area was also quite painful and swollen.

Draw the curtains and close the door.

Tang Xia took off her coat, unhooked her bra, and placed the breast pump in front of her chest.

Unexpectedly, the door to the room was pushed open at that moment.

Tang Xia froze on the spot.

The person who pushed open the door wasn't much better off than her.

The man's face turned bright red instantly. He spun around in place, flustered, and said "sorry" before hurriedly closing the door.

Tang Xia's ears turned red belatedly.

But she insisted on filling both bottles before getting dressed and opening the door.

The man's tall figure stood there like a wall, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

He only turned around after hearing the door open behind him and said "sorry" to Tang Xia again.

Tang Xia looked somewhat uncomfortable, but still said expressionlessly, "I hope Mr. Jin will remember to knock first next time."

For once, Jin Xinghan behaved obediently: "I understand."

Now, Tang Xia had nothing to say.

Jin Xinghan noticed the baby bottle in her hand and asked, "Are you taking these to the nurses' station?"

"Mm." Tang Xia nodded.

Jin Xinghan extended his hand: "I'll go."

Tang Xia was about to refuse when she looked down and saw that her clothes were stained with milk again.

Her whole face turned red again.

With people coming and going at the nurses' station, it was clearly impractical for her to deliver breast milk in that condition.

After much deliberation, Tang Xia handed the baby bottle to Jin Xinghan and gave him a few words of advice.

Jin Xinghan listened intently to every word, as if he were truly the child's father.

The thought had barely crossed Tang Xia's mind when she suppressed it.

She cupped her face in her hands and sighed, "What am I thinking? I've really been influenced by his words?"

When Jin Xinghan returned, Tang Xia had already changed into clean clothes and was cleaning the breast pump.

These are things that should not be done by women who have just given birth.

Jin Xinghan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "You just gave birth, is there no one from the Qiao family to take care of you?"

Tang Xia didn't even look up: "If I had given birth to a boy, maybe there would be."

But there is no if.

Jin Xinghan found the statement utterly ridiculous.

"What's so great about sons? Daughters are the most considerate."

“Mr. Jin.” Tang Xia finally looked at him. “Although I agree with that statement, I think we should have already made things very clear last time. I will not sign the contract. Niannian is my daughter, and I will definitely do my best to cure her and give her a better life.”

Yesterday in the office of Huanyu Group, Tang Xia tore that so-called contract to shreds in front of him.

It wasn't that Jin Xinghan's terms were bad; on the contrary, the contract was incredibly favorable to her, with every clause perfectly matching Tang Xia's current needs.

She wasn't sure if beneath this sweet promise lay arsenic, a poison that could send her back to hell.

Therefore, she could not agree.

Furthermore, this crazy man actually claimed that Niannian was his child, and when asked to explain, he couldn't provide a coherent explanation. It all seemed suspicious.

Perhaps angered by Tang Xia's words, Jin Xinghan clutched his heart with a grim expression.

Tang Xia was also startled.

Knowing how vulnerable people with congenital heart disease are, and fearing that something might really happen to Jin Xinghan, she quickly went over to support him: "Mr. Jin, are you alright?"

At this moment, Qiao Zhiyu suddenly appeared at the door of the ward.

Seeing his wife arguing with another man, his face immediately darkened: "What are you doing!"
