Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Is that person that good in your heart?

Substitute.

Every time this word came up, even though Xie Changyan said he didn't mind, a trace of displeasure always flashed through his eyes.

However, at this moment, Xie Changyan sat in a relaxed posture on the chair, his face showing no reaction.

He even looked at Ji Tingyang with interest, “If I'm the substitute, then who is the real deal?”

“A man that looks somewhat like you. Lin Xu's most beloved is him, so don't delude yourself into thinking you can take his place in Lin Xu's heart,” Ji Tingyang said coldly.

“You're not even one-thousandth of him. If you had any self-awareness, you would leave Lin Xu right away.”

Ji Tingyang sneered at Xie Changyan, but the smile on his lips didn't fade, and he still showed no reaction.

Ji Tingyang inwardly criticized his thick skin.

“Is that man really so great in your heart?” Xie Changyan asked with a mocking look in his eyes.

Ji Tingyang's face was stern as he averted his gaze, clearly not wishing to continue the conversation.

The smile in Xie Changyan's eyes tinged with helplessness as he shook his head and resumed eating his dinner with the chopsticks in hand.

After a while.

Lin Xu returned from seeing the doctor, and the first thing she said to Xie Changyan was, “The doctor has prescribed some medicine for you, the nurse will bring it over later.”

Perhaps due to haste, a bead of sweat had formed on her forehead.

Xie Changyan gently swept the damp hair on her cheek behind her ear, “Got it. There's no need to rush, sit down and rest for a while first.”

Lin Xu was about to nod when a cold voice interrupted, “No need, we'll go home to rest.”

Ji Tingyang pulled Lin Xu to his side, preventing Xie Changyan from making any further moves.

“He's finished his meal. You said that once he finished, we would go home,” he said to Lin Xu in a muffled voice.

Lin Xu looked at the table only to see that the food in the insulated box was completely gone.

Lin Xu looked at Xie Changyan, her gaze somewhat resentful.

Was he really that hungry?

If he had eaten slower, wouldn't she have been able to stay a bit longer?

Xie Changyan smiled, “You too have just recovered. Go home and rest early, and stop running to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Ji Tingyang nodded in agreement in his mind.

He didn't expect him to say something sensible for once.

What's so good about the hospital anyway?

But after hearing Xie Changyan's next words, Ji Tingyang's expression darkened again.

“I'll come to see you after I'm discharged,” Xie Changyan said.

“Alright,” Lin Xu responded.

After returning to the villa.

Lin Xu found that Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu, the brothers, were watching over her a bit too closely, as if she had a post-accident syndrome. Whenever she left their sight for a moment, both would become extremely anxious.

One day, as she went to the backyard to water the flowers and had left for only a few minutes, she heard Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu's voices inside the villa searching for her.

Their actions were as if they were about to turn the house upside down; Lin Xu hurriedly ran out with the watering can, “I'm here in the backyard watering the flowers.”

Seeing her figure, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Yuqiao, who had witnessed the whole process, clicked her tongue in ridicule, “Big brother, second brother, you're grown men, yet you're so clingy. If word gets out, it's you who will be the butt of the joke.”

“Aren't you just as clingy?”, Ji Zeqiu rolled his eyes.

Although Ji Yuqiao wasn't as excessive as them, at night, she would always take her pillow and run to the master bedroom to sleep with Lin Xu.

“How could that be the same!” Ji Yuqiao said seriously with a solemn face, “Mommy's boys will be disliked by others. What if you can't get married later on?”

“But a mommy's girl is so adorable, and mother loves it most,” Ji Yuqiao ran over, holding Lin Xu's shoulder with a triumphant look.

“What kind of twisted logic is that?” Ji Zeqiu said irritably.

Just as Ji Zeqiu and Ji Yuqiao were bickering, a ringtone sounded from a cell phone.

Ji Tingyang took out his cell phone, glanced at the caller ID, and his eyes darkened slightly.

With a calm voice, he said, “I'm going to take a call,” and then he went upstairs.

Ji Zeqiu watched his retreating figure thoughtfully and soon followed.

“What are those two up to? All secretive,” Lin Xu muttered, puzzled.

“It's about the truck driver who ran the red light,” Ji Yuqiao explained.

“What happened to that driver?” Lin Xu asked in confusion.

“My elder brother is talking to a lawyer to get him a heavier sentence, and it's the same with our granddad on our father's side–they definitely won't let that scoundrel off easily,” Ji Yuqiao said indignantly.

The driver had hit someone and then tried to flee the scene.

If it wasn't for the police who caught him in time, he might have already fled somewhere else.

If it wasn't for their parents' luck, she and her two brothers could have lost them again.

Thinking about it, Ji Yuqiao wished she could carve that driver up herself.

Lin Xu nodded in realization.

She didn't ask any more about the matter, trusting her son to handle it.

It was only later that Lin Xu inadvertently learned that the driver had been sentenced, and the sentence was heavier than in past cases.

During this time, Lin Xu was forced to recuperate at home, consuming a lot of tonics and ginseng soup, even gaining a few pounds.

By the time she found out about Xie Changyan's hospital discharge, a week had already passed.

“Why didn't you tell me when you were discharged?” Lin Xu called and asked with dissatisfaction.

“Would you have come to the hospital to pick me up if I had told you?” Xie Changyan knew her well.

“What's wrong with coming to pick you up after such a big event as being discharged?” Lin Xu muttered softly.

“How is being discharged a big event?” Xie Changyan chuckled, “Besides, it's so hot outside. Just rest well at home.”

“But…” She wanted to know more about his health condition.

“I'll come visit you in a couple of days.”

Hearing him say that, the little discontent in Lin Xu's heart finally dissipated, and she felt relieved.

They continued their affectionate conversation for a few more moments before Lin Xu reluctantly hung up the phone.

A while later, she suddenly realized: How was she going to leave the house?

With two ever-present guardians by her side, leaving might be a bit difficult.

After pondering for a while and coming up with no ideas, Lin Xu scratched her head and decided to let it be.

Since Xie Changyan said he would come to pick her up, it was up to him to figure out how to get her out.

Time flew, and soon it was two days later.

It happened to be the weekend, and both Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu were at home.

While they were watching a movie in the living room, the sound of a car driving up could be heard outside the villa.

Ji Zeqiu looked outside curiously, “Butler, who is it?”

The butler went to check and returned quickly, stammering, “It's, it's Young Master Xie…”

He knew that the young masters didn't like Xie Changyan.

As expected.

Upon hearing it was Xie Changyan, both Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu's expressions immediately turned cold.

Only Ji Yuqiao happily ran out, but after only a few steps, Ji Zeqiu grabbed her by the clothes, “Don't you dare open the door!”
