Xu Mengyao finished her shower and lay in bed, gazing at her sleeping daughter, a happy smile on her face.
Three years ago, after that incident, countless nights she had huddled in bed, silently weeping, sometimes waking up several times in a single night.
Her life had originally been perfect.
Her parents loved her, and her family's financial situation was extremely good.
That incident had been an incredibly huge blow to her.
Fortunately, all of that was in the past now.
Xu Mengyao thought silently, the ice in her heart gradually melting away.
However, it takes more than one cold day to freeze a river three feet deep, and her psychological issues wouldn't be resolved in just a month or two.
The next day, Xu Mengyao woke up.
She got dressed and went outside, where Lin Chen was making breakfast.
"Honey, good morning."
Xu Mengyao said shyly.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao in surprise.
This wasn't outside, and Lin Xiaoxi wasn't there to remind her. Xu Mengyao had taken the initiative to call him honey.
"Good morning, wifey."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Xu Mengyao's pretty face quickly flushed. She hurriedly said, "Your breakfast is almost ready. I'll go wake Xiaoxi up, otherwise she'll think I didn't come over last night."
With that, she quickly walked away and went back to the master bedroom.
\n\n
Soon, Lin Xiaoxi was awakened.
She mumbled sleepily, "Mommy, you're off work? Then come up quickly, let's sleep together."
Xu Mengyao ruffled her little nose, "Still sleeping? It's already morning. Mommy just got back. Mommy is up, and Daddy's breakfast is almost ready."
"Do you want to get up and eat breakfast with Mommy?"
Lin Xiaoxi stared at Xu Mengyao, looking adorable.
"Mommy, it's not light yet."
Xu Mengyao pulled back the curtains, and the room immediately brightened: "The sky has been bright for a long time, the sun's about to burn your butt."
"Get up quickly, Mommy's going to the company after breakfast."
Lin Xiaoxi scrambled to her feet.
Some clear snot dripped from her nose.
Xu Mengyao quickly took a tissue to wipe it for her, then she hurried to help Lin Xiaoxi get dressed.
"Lin Chen, Xiaoxi has a runny nose."
Xu Mengyao carried Lin Xiaoxi outside and said.
This morning she called him "husband" out of emotion, but not now. There was no need to call him that all day long.
"Xiaoxi, open your mouth so Dad can take a look."
Lin Chen said.
Lin Xiaoxi opened her mouth, and Lin Chen examined it before saying, "She caught a cold. It was probably from kicking off the covers last night."
Xu Mengyao said, blaming herself, "I slept too soundly last night, all the way until morning. I guess Xiaoxi was uncovered for a while after kicking off the covers and got cold."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Mommy, I have a solution."
"What is it?"
Xu Mengyao asked, puzzled.
Lin Xiaoxi giggled and said, "We can sleep together. That way, Daddy can cover me with the blanket. Am I smart?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, if we sleep together, we might end up fighting over the covers, and you'll get cold easier that way."
"Don't worry, wife, it's normal for children to catch a chill."
"Doctor Lin will cure her."
Only when Lin Xiaoxi got sick would his medical skills improve. He wouldn't intentionally make Lin Xiaoxi sick, but he wasn't afraid of her getting sick either.
Getting a minor illness would help him improve his medical skills so that he could handle more serious situations in the future.
"You'll have to work hard again."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen and said.
Lin Chen shook his head. "It's not hard at all. My little bit of hardship pales in comparison to the hardship of you carrying a child for ten months."
"Go wash up and eat breakfast."

This book was of better quality, and many readers had been looking forward to buying it.
Moreover, he had accumulated quite a few more readers.
"Beep beep!"
Not long after, Chen Xinhang called.
"President Lin, your royalties have just been transferred. The thousand books to be autographed should arrive tomorrow morning. Should they still be sent to the original address?"
Chen Xinhang asked.
Lin Chen laughed, "Editor-in-chief, we sign today, and the books can be delivered tomorrow. Your speed is impressive."
"Mr. Lin, we can't help it."
"We've received a mountain of hate mail recently. Readers are clamoring for your third physical book, but you haven't finished it yet, and we hadn't even signed a contract back then."
"Tell me, aren't we wronged?"
"We've already prepared everything. Once we sign the contract, we'll notify the printing factory to start working immediately."
Chen Xinhang sounded somewhat helpless on the phone.
Readers complaining and urging them to update, what's the point?
Lin Chen: "Editor-in-chief, really? Are there really that many hate mails?"
Chen Xinhang: "Of course it's real, Director Lin. Some people came to deliver them personally, others sent them by courier."
"We're almost running out of space for them."
Lin Chen laughed: "I'm one of the shareholders of Tongxin Website now, so it's not like they're sending the blades to the wrong place."
Chen Xinhang: "..."
That made a lot of sense.
"Chief editor, we'll put them in the usual place, the keys are still there."
The shop he bought is currently being renovated, but he hasn't moved out of the old one yet, so there's no problem sending the books over.
"Okay."
The next day, Lin Chen brought Lin Xiaoxi to the shop.
Large cardboard boxes were placed inside.
"Xiaoxi, you draw by yourself, and Dad has to work, okay?"
Lin Chen smiled gently.
"Okay, okay."
"Dad, you work."
Lin Xiaoxi started drawing pictures obediently at the side.
Lin Chen took out the fountain pen that Xu Mengyao had given him.
This fountain pen is very suitable for signing.
"Shuah shuah!"
Lin Chen started writing.
"To my wife—"
"Hold your hand, and grow old with you."
"Lin Chen."
He finished writing the first book and put it aside. This was for Xu Mengyao. Tongxin Website had sent over more than a thousand books, and he could handle some of them himself.
Soon, Lin Chen began to sign others.
"Lin Yu!"
Lin Chen didn't deliberately conceal his strength.
He signed according to his current level. He could hide his strength, but it would feel awkward to write. Besides, the readers didn't know his true identity.
"Shua shua——"
One book after another.
There were only a thousand books in total, which was easier than the previous three thousand.
While Lin Chen was signing, Tongxin Website released the news that there were only a thousand signed books for the third book.
"There were three thousand copies originally, why are there fewer now?"
"Lin Yu is getting arrogant. Let's all boycott him."
"I was planning to buy a hundred or so copies, maybe I could snag a signed book. Now I don't plan to buy any."
The announcement quickly spread like wildfire.
"Editor-in-chief, what should we do?"
"It seems like there are paid trolls deliberately stirring things up."
An editor from Tongxin Website went to Chen Xinhang and said.
Chen Xinhang frowned slightly.
Lin Yu's book was incredibly popular, which was bound to affect the interests of some people. It was normal for them to badmouth him. Their attempts to stir up trouble would definitely influence a lot of readers.
"You can go out first,"
Chen Xinhang waved his hand.
Soon, he dialed Lin Chen's number: "President Lin, the website announced that there are only a thousand signed books. There's a lot of heated discussion online now, saying that you've become arrogant and the like."
"There are many internet trolls deliberately trying to stir up trouble."
Lin Chen calmly said, "Let them be. I'm selling stories, not signatures. Those who like my stories will naturally still choose to buy my book."
"President Lin, but won't this affect sales—"
Warm reminder: If you think this book is good, to avoid trouble finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.
