Chu Yu was a very insidious person; she had learned that much. He appeared to be a gentleman, but in reality, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, deceiving everyone with his facade.
Jiang Yan, holding Jian Yi, got into the car. Jin Lan also rushed out and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Whether we have children or not is our own business! It has nothing to do with anyone else! You will always be you. I love you, not your ability to have children."
"But all women can have children. Your love for me doesn't conflict with my ability to have children!" Jiang Yan cried, upset. She didn't want to be this way, but Jiang Huan was too cruel, her words striking right at the heart.
It was utterly devastating.
"Mommy has a baby! Mommy has a little brother and sister!" Jian Yi clenched his tiny fists in anger, reaching out to wipe away his mother's tears.
Jiang Yan hugged Jian Yi tightly. "Mommy doesn't need anyone else. Mommy only needs our little Jian Yi, my precious."
"I have a younger brother and sister, Mommy has a younger brother and sister," Jian Yi said anxiously.
"Thank you, my darling. Thank you for thinking of Mommy. From now on, you are Mommy's everything," Jiang Yan said, hugging the child firmly.
Jin Lan was both angry and frustrated, but this was not the time to be angry. He had to comfort Jiang Yan. She was already sensitive, and after Jiang Huan's hurtful words, she wouldn't easily get over it.
In truth, he didn't care much about having children. But seeing Jiang Yan unhappy because of what others said made him unhappy too. At times like this, he wondered what use his medical skills were if he couldn't even help his own wife with her body and fulfill her dream.
Sometimes he thought of just quitting, staying home with her every day, taking her out for outings, as long as she was happy.
But she didn't see it that way. She was extremely career-driven now, and her career was going very well. When she was busy, she was even busier than him.
Now, he could only hope that Jian Yi's appearance would slowly help her open up and stop being so fixated.
Jin Lan also tried to comfort her a few times, attempting to cheer her up, but he didn't succeed. In the end, it was Jian Yi who managed to coax Jiang Yan into being a little happier.
Jin Lan sighed, realizing that children were indeed the ones with solutions. It was no wonder most people loved children.
He was now very grateful that Jian Yi had come into their home, bringing new life and vitality, as if their stagnant pool had come alive. There was finally hope.
After arriving home, Jiang Yan bathed and put Jian Yi to bed. She was an exemplary mother, taking meticulous care of the child. It was no wonder Jian Yi liked her and genuinely wanted her as his mother. A child's heart is the purest and most sensitive; they can best discern who is truly good to them.
After coaxing Jian Yi to sleep, Jiang Yan came out. She was more exhausted today than she was at work. Her current job was quite relaxed; she delegated most tasks to her subordinates and only managed oversight.
"Wife, after you bathe, shall I give you a massage?" Jin Lan approached her, looking at her with affection.
Jiang Yan: "..."
"I'll bathe myself. Don't you dare come in and cause trouble again! I need to rest!" Jiang Yan didn't want to be exhausted to death again.
"I know. I really just want to give you a massage. I won't do anything else. How could I bear to see you so tired?" Jin Lan said earnestly, then picked up Jiang Yan and carried her towards the bathroom.
Jiang Yan: "..."
She would be a fool to believe him!
However, Jin Lan wasn't entirely a beast. He did give her a massage, and after just one encounter, he held her and took her back to the room to sleep.
