Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: So You Loved Him This Much?

“If you haven't recovered your memory, how do you know Lanyue isn't allergic to peanuts?” Lin Xu's eyes narrowed, as she stepped closer to Xie Changyan.

Xie Changyan stepped back, laughing, “Is it possible… I guessed it?”

Flames of anger flared in Lin Xu's eyes, “You guessed that accurately? Why don't you try guessing the next lottery numbers then?”

“Uh…” Xie Changyan paused in thought, retreating two more steps, “If you really want to know, should I tell you secretly later?”

“Ji! Chang! Yan!” Lin Xu gritted her teeth as she yelled his name, as if she was about to devour him alive, “Give me an honest explanation!”

Xie Changyan was cornered against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

He chuckled helplessly, his fingers brushing past the stray hairs by Lin Xu's ear, “Wife, can I get leniency if I confess?”

That familiar phrase stirred thousands of waves in her heart.

Each time he did something wrong in the past and hid it from her only to be discovered, he would always cajole her this way, “Can I get leniency if I confess?”

Lin Xu had thought she would be furious upon discovering he truly had been hiding his memory recovery, but hearing the confirmation, the raging storm in her chest subsided, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Xie Changyan's fingertips wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, “You were so angry just now, why are you crying all of a sudden?”

“Mind your own business.” Lin Xu turned her head away, her tears glistening on her face, “You could've just continued pretending not to recognize me. You could even go and remarry.”

“One wife is enough, and whether I have my memory or not, aren't you the one who has charmed me? How could I possibly marry another woman?” Xie Changyan said.

Lin Xu pouted, her eyes still red but her expression somewhat softened, “When did you recover your memory, and why didn't you tell me?”

“During the car accident, didn't I hit my head and stay unconscious for several days? When I woke up, I remembered everything.”

While he was unconscious, his lost memories played through his mind like a movie. By the time he woke up, he remembered everything.

He had intended to find a quiet and suitable moment to discuss it with his family, but he never expected Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu to harbor such hostility towards him.

“Great, you recovered your memory so early and yet dared keep hiding it from me.” Lin Xu twisted his arm forcefully.

Xie Changyan endured the pain, rendered speechless, and could only chuckle helplessly.

Ji Yuqiao was watching in confusion, but she still caught the words “recovered memory.”

She stared blankly at Xie Changyan, eyes filled with faint hope, “Father, have you remembered us too?”

“Yes.” Xie Changyan's lips slightly curved, a gentle smile appearing. He waved Ji Yuqiao over.

Ji Yuqiao walked over in a daze.

A broad palm rested on her head, the tone leisurely yet with a hint of wonder, “I never thought that Lanyue, who once lay in her crib unable to even speak, has grown up so much in the blink of an eye.”

“Are you really our father? Will you also love me like my older brothers and mother?” Ji Yuqiao stared at him, dazed.

“Did I not cherish you before?” Xie Changyan raised an eyebrow.

“You always seemed fierce before.” Ji Yuqiao fidgeted with her hands, mumbling softly.

Clearly, his stern demeanor at the Flaming Lily Restaurant had scared her, and she still remembered it to this day.

Xie Changyan curled his finger and tapped her forehead, “First, return the bank card I gave you, then say that.”

The unlimited credit card he and Lin Xu had given her on their trip to Rong Mountain had never been taken back.

Ji Yuqiao touched her head, chuckled merrily, and her cheeks slowly blossomed into a smile as bright as the stars.

She spread her arms and excitedly threw herself onto Xie Changyan's body, “This is great, mother and father are back, Big Brother and Second Brother will definitely be very happy.”

Although Big Brother and Second Brother never said it, she knew they really missed their father.

The things father had bought for him were still hidden under the bed in his bedroom.

When Lin Xu mentioned Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu, her face tensed up a bit, showing difficulty, “They might not easily believe this…”

She had also mentioned to them before that Xie Changyan was their father, but no matter what she said, they refused to believe it.

“I'm the smartest, I just knew that what mother said had to be right,” Ji Yuqiao proudly lifted her chin.

Even though Big Brother and Second Brother kept telling her not to be deceived by Xie Changyan, she believed what Lin Xu said and steadfastly did so.

Lin Xu chuckled softly and patted her proud head.

Perhaps because the three of them had spent too much time in the backyard, Ji Tingyang couldn't rest easy, and after finishing his work, he also came to the backyard.

Looking at the harmonious trio, his face suddenly became overshadowed with gloom, his deep eyes cold as frost.

“Young Master Xie has been here for several hours already; as it's not yet dark, we will not keep you here for dinner,” he walked over and pulled Lin Xu and Ji Yuqiao back behind him.

“Big Brother, it's not like our home lacks a pair of chopsticks, let him stay for dinner,” Ji Yuqiao was the first to protest.

“Aunt Zhang didn't prepare his meal,” Ji Tingyang said coldly.

“Then I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make some more!” Ji Yuqiao said, and immediately ran into the living room.

She rushed so much that she tripped over the frame of the French window, losing her balance and stumbling forward.

“Be careful,” Lin Xu immediately went to help her.

Seeing Ji Yuqiao was alright, Ji Tingyang then drew back his gaze and turned to see Xie Changyan watching Lin Xu's figure with a light smile.

Ji Tingyang's expression darkened instantly, “Lin Xu will not like you; give up on that idea.”

“Hmm?”

“She merely talks to you more because of your face, being a substitute should come with the self-awareness of a substitute.”

Xie Changyan appeared to hear something amusing and smiled gently, “Is that so?”

“What are you two talking about?” Lin Xu came back and saw the two of them talking.

Wondering if the father and son were bonding.

“He said that you care so much for someone that you can't sleep at night, and so you treat me as his substitute?” Xie Changyan's tone carried a smile.

Lin Xu's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she stuttered embarrassingly, “I, I didn't.”

“He also said you're so obsessed with that person that you can't stop thinking about him…” Xie Changyan's laughter trickled from his throat, “How did I not know you loved him so much?”

“He… he's talking nonsense, I don't like that person at all!” Had it been before, Lin Xu might have just admitted it.

But since he had regained his memory, Lin Xu was reluctant to admit her feelings in front of him.

Ji Tingyang was shocked, and looked at Lin Xu with a hurt expression, “Mother?”
