Capítulo 914: Chapter 914: My Mom Got Married
Being carried back to the hospital bed by Leng Yan, Xia Nuo pulled the blanket over her head and mumbled, “You should go back, I need to rest for a bit!”
At this moment, she really didn’t want to see him.
“What’s wrong? Why are you angry?” Leng Yan suddenly asked her.
Xia Nuo wanted to vomit blood; was he pretending to be clueless or was he just that dense?
He’s not that young anymore, yet he asks her what’s wrong…
How was she supposed to explain? If he was simply trying to help her, speaking out might betray his kindness and clue him in. If he was pretending to be naive, she couldn’t say anything either, it would be too embarrassing.
Xia Nuo was torn on how to respond when the blanket over her head was lifted, and Leng Yan’s head popped in, his eyes full of confusion and innocence.
“Xia Nuo, what’s actually going on?”
Alright, she would assume he was just too pure.
“Nothing, just tired and want to sleep for a bit.” She softened her tone as she spoke.
Leng Yan pulled the blanket up to her chest, ensuring she wouldn’t feel suffocated.
“Then sleep, I’ll keep watch over you.” He obediently sat beside her and continued reading his book.
Xia Nuo took a glance at his serious demeanor, sighed inwardly, and decided to forget about today’s events.
Time flew by, with the two-month summer vacation more than halfway over.
When the doctor said Xia Nuo could be discharged and recover at home, she eagerly requested to go home. Staying at the hospital was too boring and uncomfortable.
Back at home, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Zhao teamed up to give her a bath and change her into loose-fitting pajamas, and Xia Nuo comfortably nestled into her own sofa, feeling utterly at ease.
Leng Yan still came over every day to help take care of her, but Mrs. Xia certainly didn’t let him do much.
At most, he would accompany her in watching movies, anime, playing games, or checkers.
Upon learning about Xia Nuo’s car accident, Mr. Xia quickly returned. He stayed home for two days, and seeing his daughter looking well and in good spirits, he left reassured.
Since Leng Yan’s mother’s last visit, she hadn’t come back.
One day, while Leng Yan was in Xia Nuo’s bedroom reading with her, he suddenly looked up and said, “My mom got married.”
Xia Nuo paused for a second and asked him, “Will you go to your uncle’s house?”
Leng Yan shook his head, “I won’t go, I’ll live alone from now on.”
“Your mom agreed to that?”
“Yes, I talked it over with her, and she agreed, but she will come by often to see me.” He said it casually, not realizing that such freedom nearly severed their mother-son relationship.
He threatened his mother that if she didn’t let him live alone, he would report her, preventing her from marrying the man surnamed Zheng.
Yin Cui weighed her options repeatedly, considering that he was by himself most of the time anyway. At most, she’d hire a nanny to take care of him, which would just cost a bit more money, so she agreed.
Xia Nuo nodded, thinking that Leng Yan could still live in the school dorms when he went to middle school, so it’s not like he’d be completely unsupervised, which was a relief.
“Your mom got married… Will she continue to give you money? No, I mean, will she reduce your allowance?” Typically, women would become stingy after marrying.
Leng Yan frowned in thought, and Xia Nuo thought his mom didn’t give him any money and was about to comfort him when he spoke up, “A few days ago she gave me a sum of money saying it was for my living expenses. I don’t even know how long it’ll last me.” The source of thɪs content is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Xia Nuo’s mouth twitched, “How much?”
