Chapter 877: Pain and Joy
Lin Tian held Bai Shishi in his arms. After discussing the matters regarding Bai Yu and the Wang Family, they began to talk about their future life together.
For example, how many children they should have.
Lin Tian also told Bai Shishi about his parents finding out he had two girlfriends.
Bai Shishi covered her mouth in shock and disbelief, asking, "What did they say?"
Seeing Bai Shishi’s nervous look, Lin Tian couldn’t help but laugh, "They’re okay with it, scolded me a bit, and then said they’d love to meet you both. Especially my mom, she’s been hoping for me to bring my girlfriend home for a while now. She might even have a welcoming gift ready for you."
"Really?" Bai Shishi blinked her eyes, looking at Lin Tian with a mix of nervousness and excitement.
"Of course, why would I lie to you about this? Didn’t you say you wanted to show my parents around Kanyue City? When are we meeting the in-laws?" Lin Tian teased.
Bai Shishi shook her head, "In a while. My dad can’t do without me right now. I’ll wait until he’s a bit better, then invite your parents out for a meal."
Seeing her worried expression when she mentioned her father, Lin Tian felt a twinge of heartache.
Suddenly, Bai Shishi smiled again, "You should take Qingcheng first; she’s so pretty, your parents will surely like her."
Lin Tian thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, then I’ll take you later."
"Hey, what do your parents like? I need to prepare in advance."
"Well, they like..."
Just as they were getting into the conversation, the door to the hospital room was pushed open.
"Lin Tian..." Mei Ruyan hadn’t finished her sentence when she saw the scene in the room, and the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tian felt somewhat embarrassed. He realized he might have been favoring one over the other, which wasn’t fair to Mei Ruyan.
If he had Bai Shishi in one arm and Mei Ruyan in the other, he might not feel as guilty.
But, of course, saying something like that now would surely earn him a Yin Leg from Mei Ruyan.
Bai Shishi, on the other hand, laughed, pointing to the empty spot beside Lin Tian and said to Mei Ruyan, "Come, sit here. Lin Tian’s chest is very warm; let’s lie here together."
Under normal circumstances, Mei Ruyan would definitely retort, and then the two girls would have a little spat.
But Mei Ruyan didn’t retort this time; instead, she leaned against the door with a slight smile and said, "You two lovebirds continue with your snuggling. I’m out of this. Just a friendly reminder, Liou Qingcheng is here, so you should save the other side of your chest for her. Oh, and her mom’s here too."
Bai Shishi rolled her eyes, withdrew her arm from Lin Tian’s, and sat upright, saying, "What a mood killer, the real drama’s here."
Mei Ruyan laughed and said, "Go on, lie down. Isn’t it warm?"
"You little brat, dare to make fun of me. I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
Mei Ruyan maintained her icy demeanor, leaning against the door disdainfully, "Tsk, go ahead. But if you don’t leave now, that mother-daughter duo will be here soon."
Bai Shishi deflated like a punctured ball, glaring at Mei Ruyan, "Got it!"
After speaking, she stood up and said to Lin Tian, "I’m going to check on my dad, I’ll come back to see you later."
"They’re here, you don’t have to leave, it’s fine."
Hearing Lin Tian say this, Bai Shishi was touched. But staying here now didn’t seem right. She had just been intimate with Lin Tian, and meeting the ’official’ girlfriend would inevitably make her nervous.
"Forget it, I might cause trouble for you by staying. That mother-in-law of yours isn’t easy to deal with." Bai Shishi said and then got up, waved to Lin Tian, and pushed Mei Ruyan out.
Soon, Liou Qingcheng and Yan Xinrou arrived at the hospital room with a lunchbox in hand.
"Lin Tian!" Liou Qingcheng shouted and then threw herself onto Lin Tian, wrapping her arms around his neck while sobbing, "You bastard! Why didn’t you tell me right away when you woke up! It was Shishi who told me!"
These past few days had made Liou Qingcheng extremely anxious. Holding back her tears for days, she finally couldn’t help but let them flow when she saw Lin Tian.
Well, he just comforted one, and here comes another.
But the soft, fragrant body in his arms felt fantastic.
Lin Tian was in pain but happy!
Lin Tian gently patted her back and said softly, "I asked her to tell you. I was waiting for you."
"Really?"
"Of course, why else would I be standing here? Relax, let go a bit. Mom’s standing here watching this show."
Liou Qingcheng tightened her grip, "No! Let her watch. She’s been flaunting love with Dad in front of me for over ten years; let’s show off once as well and make her jealous."
Yan Xinrou stood by with a smile and said, "No problem, I love watching this drama. Lin Tian, this girl has been out of sorts these days, can’t eat, can’t sleep. Tell me, where could you find such a good wife?"
Lin Tian nodded repeatedly, "Mom is right!"
Having interacted with Yan Xinrou for so long, Lin Tian figured out how to deal with this mother-in-law. The only rule: she is always right!
Liou Qingcheng rested her head on Lin Tian’s shoulder and soon caught a whiff of someone else’s scent, though she didn’t say anything about it.
"Qingcheng, you should let go of your husband first. There’ll be plenty of chances to show off love later. He just got out of bed, not fully recovered yet. If an old injury flares up, you’ll be crying."
Yan Xinrou’s words were quite effective, making Liou Qingcheng immediately let go, hastily pulling Lin Tian down to sit, afraid he might get tired.
"Haha, I’m not that fragile." Lin Tian chuckled.
Yan Xinrou gave Lin Tian a stern look, "Health is important, take it seriously!"
"Mom is right..."
"Glad you understand." Yan Xinrou praised, then sat on the other side of Lin Tian and said, "Come see what we brought you. Chicken soup with yams. I wanted to teach Qingcheng how to make soup, but she couldn’t wait to visit you, so we bought it from a restaurant."
Lin Tian secretly sighed in relief. If you taught Liou Qingcheng to make soup, that would have been a disaster! Thankfully, there wasn’t enough time.
"No problem, I’ll make soup for you when I get home." Lin Tian smiled.
Yan Xinrou nodded in satisfaction, patting Lin Tian’s shoulder, "Alright then, when you’re out of the hospital, it’s your responsibility to cook at home."
"Mom~" Liou Qingcheng protested, "Lin Tian just got better, and you’re making him cook?"
Yan Xinrou glanced at her idly and retorted, "Oh, you’re not married yet, and already defending your man. Fine, I’ll cook for you then."
