Chapter 491: Chapter 491

Looking at the emotional woman in front of him, Mo Chuxi nodded lightly, calm and composed.

Hearing his confirmation, Yan Xinxin instantly froze as if rooted to the spot. All the emotions on her delicate face solidified, leaving only the tears swirling in her eyes as evidence of her still having senses at this moment.

"Our Chun is not dead. She’s healthy and living joyfully every day."

Mo Chuxi offered a reassuring reply.

Yan Xinxin’s heartbeat suddenly lurched, pulling her out from the tight grip of her tension.

She raised her right hand with disbelief, biting her fingertip lightly as if to ease the overwhelming emotions coursing through her.

"Chun isn’t dead. She’s not dead..."

Tears suddenly streamed down her cheeks. Yan Xinxin bit her fingers, torn between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry.

This intricate and contradictory feeling of regaining what was lost was far too complex to put into words.

Seeing Yan Xinxin in this state, Mo Chuxi felt a pang in his heart. He extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

Yan Xinxin did not struggle or resist; at this moment, nothing mattered more to her than hearing this good news.

"From now on, there’s no need to feel sad. Our family will be complete."

He held her close, his gentle voice murmuring by her ear as his thin lips landed a fleeting kiss on her earlobe.

Tears blurred her vision. Yan Xinxin clutched Mo Chuxi’s shirt tightly and suddenly raised her teary eyes.

"Where is Chun now? Where is she? I want to see her! Mo Chuxi, I want to see her!"

Listening to her trembling, tearful voice, Mo Chuxi lowered his gaze and looked at her tear-streaked face lovingly before lifting his hand to caress it gently.

"Your current state isn’t suitable for meeting Chun."

"What do you mean my state isn’t suitable?"

Yan Xinxin furrowed her brows tightly.

Mo Chuxi curved his lips faintly, his hand smoothing her long hair, his eyes warm and soft.

"Take a shower, wash your face, and rest well. I’ll let you see Chun, alright?"

Yan Xinxin knitted her delicate brows, her slightly misted gaze fixed on the man in front of her.

"Mo Chuxi, what do you mean?"

"I only want our family to be complete."

As the words fell, Mo Chuxi scooped Yan Xinxin up suddenly by her waist.

"Put me down! I can walk on my own!"

Yan Xinxin protested.

Mo Chuxi slightly furrowed his sword-like brows, lowering his gaze to look at her.

"You’ve gotten thinner."

"Take a shower, get a good sleep. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll help you shower."

"I’ve said it long ago—I have no requirements for you. My only demand is that you must stay by my side."

He once again emphasized his past words, carrying Yan Xinxin firmly into the bathroom without giving her room to escape.

"Do you want to shower yourself, or should I help you?"

Yan Xinxin’s face flushed crimson, realizing that Mo Chuxi meant what he said.

"Get out! I don’t want to see you!"

"So that means you’ll shower yourself?"

Mo Chuxi shot her a cryptic smile and then turned around.

The bathroom door closed, and Yan Xinxin slumped despondently against the sink.

So you really never left me, my dear. It was just that your silly mother thought you’d already gone.

As long as you’re well, mommy will do anything from now on...

Yan Xinxin quickly finished her shower, slipped into a bathrobe, and walked into the bedroom, only to find it empty—Mo Chuxi was nowhere to be seen.

It felt as though it was just yesterday she walked down the aisle arm-in-arm with him while wearing a wedding dress, yet in the blink of an eye, half a month had already passed.

As she recalled the words Mu Shaoqian said during the wedding ceremony, Yan Xinxin felt yet another sharp pang in her chest.

She turned and lay down on the bed, eyes shut tightly, her thoughts drifting to the scene of Yan Zhichun’s birth, followed by Ye Lirong telling her that her beloved daughter’s heartbeat had stopped...

Lost in thought, she suddenly noticed the bed beside her sink slightly. Yan Xinxin’s eyes snapped open, greeted only by a soft glow of moonlight.

A hand gently landed on her face, tenderly tracing her features. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovelfire.net

"We’ve been married for half a month now, but this is the first time we’re sleeping together on this new bed."
