Fang Xiu saw that Jing Xin had woken up and seemed to be out of danger, so she wanted to go back to see her son.
“Jing Xin, um, if you need anything, you can ring the bell for the nurse, okay?” Fang Xiu asked Jing Xin.
“What’s wrong?” Jing Xin had a sudden sinking feeling, guessing Fang Xiu’s intention.
“I’ve been leaving the child with someone else, and I’m worried. Since you’re awake now and there are no major problems, I don’t think I need to stay here anymore. I need to go pick Taotao up.” Fang Xiu didn’t take Jing Xin’s previous words to heart.
Right now, she no longer cared whether she belonged to the Jings or whether she was Jing Xin’s wife. All she cared about was her son. As for Jing Xin, she had already done what she should have done, and she’d deal with whatever came next when the time came.
“Xiuxiu, are you leaving me?” Jing Xin asked with bitterness.
As a soldier, he had to obey orders. He did not know why he had been mistakenly reported as dead when he had been alive and well.
Moreover, his family didn’t treat Fang Xiu properly as his new bride, even if he had supposedly died. Instead, they treated her coldly, driving her away without mercy.
What’s more, after learning of Jing Xin’s supposed death, Fang Xiu decided to bear his child while knowing she was pregnant. This alone showed that she was a compassionate and righteous woman.
Why couldn’t his family accept such a good woman? Was it because Jing Xin wasn’t their own flesh and blood?
That’s right, Jing Xin was not the Jings’ biological child but their adopted one – a fact he had discovered by accident. All these years, he had tried to repay the Jings’ kindness in raising him by meeting every expectation they had for him.
He sent almost all of his salary home for family expenses and always lived frugally. He continued doing so after marrying Fang Xiu, giving half to her and half to his family.
But in the second month of their marriage, he was sent on a mission and lost contact with his family. Only now did he learn how his wife and child had been living during those days. Was his devotion to the Jings correct or wrong? Jing Xin felt lost.
“Jing Xin, you will always be part of the Jing family. Now that you’re awake, I think they will soon send someone to take care of you. As for me and our child, we’ll go back to living our lives as we did before.
Take good care of yourself and heal, and when you recover, I believe your future should be quite bright after experiencing this ordeal.” Fang Xiu spoke to Jing Xin with a calm expression.
“Xiuxiu, I want to see our child.” Jing Xin looked at Fang Xiu’s determined expression, knowing that he shouldn’t push her too hard.
So he changed the subject, deciding to deal with everything after he had fully recovered.
“Okay, I will bring our child to see you. No matter what, Taotao is your son. I can’t deprive you of the chance to see him.
But I must remind you that the Jings don’t know about Taotao. I hope you won’t mention him when you see them.” Fang Xiu wasn’t scared of whatever treatment or harm she’d face herself.
But she couldn’t let her child suffer such injustice.
She also couldn’t bear for her child to be taken away from her.
So the best thing to do was to keep Taotao’s existence a secret from the Jings. As long as they didn’t know about him, they wouldn’t try to take him away from her.
Just the thought of such a situation made Fang Xiu feel like she would go crazy.
“Don’t worry. I used to be too blindly loyal to the Jings, but not anymore.” Jing Xin felt that he had already done enough for the Jings, and had repaid their kindness many times over. In truth, he had been an unpaid laborer for them.
Now that he had his own family, he would let things between him and the Jings take their own course. It would be nice if they could get along, but he wouldn’t force them if they couldn’t.
