Chapter 657: Wife is True Love, Children are Accidents
If this had been in the past, Jian Yining would have refused flatly and would never have agreed.
He would have told his wife to endure it, comforting her by saying she could eat it, could eat whatever she wanted, once the baby was born.
It was for the baby's health, after all; the reason was ready-made, and no matter how much Wan'er argued, she couldn't find a flaw in it.
But now, he didn't.
"Let's go, I'll take you out to eat." Jian Yining fetched his wife's coat; not only did he agree readily, he didn't even hesitate for a second.
"You actually agreed?" Wan'er was stunned, her mouth hanging wide open, unable to close it.
Jian Yining: "Yes, is there a problem?"
"No..."
Jin Wan'er couldn't believe it and repeated herself: "Did you hear what I said clearly? I said I want to eat fried chicken and iced cola!" She enunciated the last few words clearly, afraid her husband hadn't heard them properly.
"Mm, I heard you clearly; you want to eat fried chicken and iced cola, right?"
Jian Yining gently scraped his finger against his wife's nose: "Little glutton, if you want to eat, why aren't you coming with me? What are you waiting for?"
Jin Wan'er:...
That's right.
The way her husband looked at her had changed; it wasn't the kind of "respecting each other like guests" anymore.
Instead, it was full of doting, the love in his eyes so full it was about to overflow!
"Husband, you're so good!" Jin Wan'er threw herself into Jian Yining's arms, rubbing her cheek against his happily a few times.
Then she announced: "I've changed my mind; I don't want to eat that junk food. I suddenly feel like apples and peaches are quite delicious."
She picked up the large bowl of fruit and began to eat it sweetly.
She ate a piece herself and handed one to her husband, calling it: sharing joys and sorrows together.
The two of them couldn't remember what exactly happened in the Swamp those two days, but now, the couple seemed like true lovers!
Shi Youxuan still wanted to go to the Swamp to get to the bottom of things.
But she was stopped by Sheng Hanyu again.
Sheng Hanyu said: "You are not allowed to go. I have already promised that mysterious person that I will never go there again."
Shi Youxuan: "You promised, but I didn't. I'm going to take a look; I always feel that this matter has something to do with me too."
Sheng Hanyu said domineeringly: "I said no, so it's no. Anyway, A Ning and your sister are both safe now, so there's no need for you to take risks."
He told his wife she couldn't be willful; she wasn't alone anymore.
She had parents-in-law and a foster father above, two children below, and she had to consider him as well...
Shi Youxuan still wanted to go.
It wasn't about being willful.
It was her intuition that in that unknown place, there was a secret closely related to her!
Her husband reminded her: "Actually, you don't have to go to that dangerous place to investigate the truth. A Ning was sent to a psychiatric hospital for no reason; don't you want to look into that?"
"Ah... right!"
A single word awakened the dreamer.
Shi Youxuan happily threw herself at him, kissed her husband on the face, and was about to run off.
Before she could run out, she was pulled back into his arms. Sheng Hanyu was not satisfied: "Where are you going?"
"To call Yixin."
She couldn't go to that kind of place alone; she was quite scared.
The Jian Family had a hospital, though it didn't belong to the psychiatric department.
But hospitals were all considered part of the same system, and she knew the director of the psychiatric hospital, so it would be more convenient to investigate.
She wanted to go make the call, but she was restrained in her husband's arms and couldn't move.
"You're not allowed to go anywhere; stay with me!"
Sheng Hanyu blew into her ear: "I didn't touch you when you were sick a few days ago, but you're all better now... you have to pay me back with interest."
"Don't mess around!"
Shi Youxuan looked at the wall clock, helpless: "It's not time to sleep yet, and there's no guarantee Zichen won't come over in a bit."
Sheng Zichen was still young and hadn't formed the good habit of knocking before entering his parents' room; he always just pushed the door open and walked in.
If he caught them in the middle of being intimate... how embarrassing!
Sheng Hanyu released her, went to the door, and locked it.
Then he came back, picked his wife up horizontally, and walked into the bathroom... the call was never made after all!
The next day.
Shi Youxuan had an appointment with Jian Yixin in the morning, so she took a high-collar shirt out of the walk-in closet and put it on.
As she dressed, she cursed Sheng Hanyu in her heart: Bastard, always only caring about his own pleasure, never caring about how others feel...
It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that every time things got intense, Sheng Hanyu would cover her body with marks of love.
Especially on her neck; Shi Youxuan had no way to go out and see people without wearing high-collar clothes.
Jian Yixin and her brother came together.
It was a big scene.
The two of them brought at least a dozen bodyguards, and even reporters.
Shi Youxuan was startled: "What are you two doing? Are you going to start a street fight?"
Jian Yixin pointed at her brother: "Ask him. Once bitten by a snake, he's afraid of well ropes for ten years. He wanted to come with us, but he was afraid of being left behind and not being able to return."
"Am I still your own brother? Would it kill you to save me some face in front of others?" Jian Yining said, dissatisfied.
But she didn't care at all: "It's fine, Xuanxuan isn't an outsider, you don't need to save face."
Jian Yining:...
Although speechless.
But his sister was right.
Jian Yining had been inexplicably sent to a psychiatric hospital; although he wasn't abused, it still left him with deep psychological trauma.
He was afraid that if he went in to investigate, he wouldn't be able to get back out.
Besides, this time he wasn't just investigating who had sent him in; he also wanted to secure a better treatment environment for "Jiafeimao" and "Cassette," and most importantly, he wanted to get "Big CEO" out as well.
"Big CEO's" situation was a bit complicated.
At the time, he had only been focused on escaping and hadn't asked much about his situation.
Another point was that, based on his description, Jian Yining thought he should be very easy to find.
But there were only so many wealthy families in Jiangzhou, and after checking from beginning to end, there wasn't a family that matched "Big CEO's" description exactly.
He thought perhaps they were just well-hidden.
So this time, he was prepared to ask "Big CEO" in person what his real name was and where his home address was, so that he could help him.
There were quite a few things to do, so bringing more people was better than being unprepared.
Psychiatric hospital.
The director came to the entrance in person to welcome them.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome to the distinguished guests for coming to provide guidance."
The famous Jian Family siblings, along with the legendary Genius Investor—if any one of these three people stomped their foot, Jiangzhou would tremble three times.
Now that all three had come together, he could not afford to be anything but attentive.
Jian Yining: "I wouldn't dare call myself a distinguished guest; I just escaped from your place, so today counts as turning myself in."
The director:...
"What is going on? Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"
Actually, he knew about Jian Yining being mistakenly locked in the hospital, but even if he knew, he had to pretend he didn't; ignorance is bliss, after all.
He only pretended not to understand on the surface, but fine beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.
Jian Yining briefly explained the course of events.
The director said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this matter was done by my subordinates and has nothing to do with me. If you hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark. It's all because of my lax management; I will definitely deal with everyone involved severely and give you a satisfactory explanation."
Jian Yixin quietly nudged her brother.
She told him not to be so aggressive and to give the director some face.
Seeing through things without pointing them out is the rule of conduct for adults; be magnanimous this time, and the other party will remember your favor, making it easier to talk if anything comes up in the future.
Everyone is in the same circle; you never know when someone might need someone else.
When one reaches a certain height, some grievances can also be used as bargaining chips.
