However, she didn't know why, but her heart was still enveloped by a faintly discernible anxiety … The memory of her child being taken away once again corroded Lin Xiaoqing's memory, causing her heart to ache.

The frustration of pregnancy made Lin Xiaoqing miss her mother's gentle voice.

Since her parents lived far away in another city, she rarely went back, and when she got married, it was even more frequent.

Since Cissy was born, she had only been able to go there once … And it was to let his parents see his granddaughter.

So, taking advantage of Cissy's nap, she picked up her cell phone and prepared her mind. Only then did she find the familiar number that had almost become instinctive.

Listening to the bell ringing beside her ear, she breathed deeply …

"Hello?" Suddenly, someone answered from the other end. It was his mother's voice.

She jumped in fright and somehow hung up the phone. Frankly speaking, she didn't know why she reacted like that. She pressed her hand to her chest and her heart started beating rapidly.

It was a very strange feeling... She couldn't say it out loud, as if she could suddenly see or communicate with her family in another world.

However, her strange thoughts were quickly interrupted.

Her cell phone rang. Lin Xiaoqing looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her mother calling back.

She took another deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then reached out and pressed the answer button.

"Hey …" She could not help coughing, a little uncomfortably.

"Xiaoqing?"

"Mm …" She looked down at her toes.

"Did you just call?"

She was silent for a few seconds, feeling extremely excited. "Right …"

Perhaps hearing her abnormal tone, Mother Lin could not help but reveal a caring tone, "What's wrong? What happened? "

"Oh, no more …" Her voice began to tremble. "Just to tell you... "There have been a lot of things happening recently. There may be less going back …" At this point, her nose turned sour and her eyes began to burn.

"Tsk, I thought you wanted to say something!" Mother Lin let out a sigh of relief, "Anyways, you rarely come back anyways, why do you have to tell me so? Why do I think that something big has happened? Are you trying to scare an old guy like me?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqing couldn't hold back her laughter. "No, I'm afraid you think I'm missing."

She pretended to be joking, but the pain in her heart was so intense that it was almost bleeding. When she was young and mad, her parents had called to see if she was all right and asked if she was all right, but she had always been annoyed and told them not to call her when they had nothing to do.

Gradually, they no longer contacted each other on their own accord.

Now she finally understood that it was just her parents missing their children, and she was even stingy when she simply picked up the phone and chatted with her parents for a while.

"How's Beichuan's company recently?" Mother Lin should be concerned about her son-in-law.

"Not bad. He recently received a big case, but because he has a capable colleague who has left his job, for the time being, he has to use one person for two."

"What about Cissy? Can you walk? "

"I knew it a long time ago!" She smiled involuntarily.

"What about you? Is she still as bad as Granny? "

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqing's ears warmed. She remembered that in the past, she would occasionally think of her mother complaining about how vile her mother-in-law was.

"It's been better recently …"

"Tsk tsk, you already got married and gave birth to a child, so don't be so impulsive with your personality. You will suffer a loss!" Mother Lin began to whisper again.

"I know." Listening to her mother's nagging, she no longer felt bored but instead felt a sense of familiarity that made her want to cry.

After half a month had passed, the 'opening day' that they were looking forward to had arrived … When the result was still the same, Lin Xiaoqing's emotions couldn't help but break out.

Hiding in the bathroom, she covered her mouth and tried not to cry. She did not understand. Why was it so difficult? In the past year or so, regardless of whether it was prescription, food, nourishment, or any of the secret manuals, she had been trying very hard. Her mother-in-law had even brought her to the temple to beg for a son, but why didn't the heavens reward her with a child?

Was the heavens really so unfair? Since she was able to rebirth and win back her husband, it meant that she had to pay a certain price. Was it really like this?!

Or could it be that everything was just a punishment from the heavens … Just when she had almost forgotten the evil deeds she had done in her previous life and was enjoying her life, she received such a heavy test?

Thinking of this, a surge of sadness rose up again. She tightly gripped the pregnancy test stick in her hand, slumped down next to the bathtub and began to cry in a low voice.

The faint sobbing woke Song Beichuan from his dreams.

He noticed that his wife was not in bed, and then he noticed that the crying did not come from his daughter, Cissy.

He pushed himself up and saw a faint light coming from under the door of the bathroom. Xiaoqing was crying?

Realizing this fact, he immediately got out of bed. As he pushed open the door, he saw his wife curled up by the bathtub, holding a pregnancy test stick in her hand. Her face was covered with tears.

His appearance caused his heart to ache, and his brows unconsciously knitted together.

"Ah!" As if she hadn't expected him to suddenly rush in, Lin Xiaoqing was stunned. She immediately tried to wipe away her tears.

"That... Did, did I disturb you? " She sniffed and forced herself up with a stiff smile.

Suddenly, her vision blurred as an external force pulled her up, pulling her into a firm and warm chest.

"Idiot, why are you giving yourself so much pressure?" He kept patting her back and stroking her hair. He said lightly, "We're still young. Why are you so anxious?"

"But I …" Feeling wronged, she pouted. She felt that she really was useless, that she couldn't even give birth to a child.

"Shh, I know it," he said, kissing the top of her head and burying the tip of his nose in her hair. "I know Mom is giving you a lot of pressure to have a son, but you also know that the old man loves you, so you don't have to care so much about her."

Hearing his words, she bit her lip and sobbed. She couldn't help but press her head against his chest.

"And frankly," Song Beichuan continued to comfort her, "I don't have to have a son, or I do want you to have a few children. Even if it's just Xi Xi's daughter, I'm already satisfied."

"But it's not just Mom's pressure. I really, really want to have another baby for you …"

She really, really wanted to give birth to that child from her previous life.
