Chapter 1691
With barely any hesitation, I jerked to my feet and snatched the baby from Mo Fei Lin’s arms, running like mad upstairs, unlocking the door and hiding in the bedroom with the baby in my arms.
Outside the door rang with taps and cries of concern, “Xiao Shu, open the door, what’s wrong with you ……”
The world before me was spinning, all the noise seemed like the evil spirits of hell, scrambling to take my baby.
I hid in the wardrobe, huddled in a ball with my baby, not daring to make any movement, murmuring, “Don’t take my daughter, no one is going to take my daughter ……”
I don’t know how long it took, the sound of the child’s cries in my ears, the wardrobe was opened.
The light shining in stung my eyes and I subconsciously hugged the child tighter.
“Little Shu, I’m home.”
The familiar magnetic voice of a man pulled me back to reality.
I slowly tilted my head and was lost in thought for a moment when I saw the long-lost vivid face.
Their eyes met, but they both chose to remain silent.
After a long time, it was Fu Shen Yan who finally took the lead in breaking the stalemate.
“Xiao Shu, the baby should be hungry, come out first, let’s feed her.” He stretched out his hand towards me, looking gentle and cautious as he moved a little closer to me and the baby.
I watched as his angular features drew closer and closer, as if I were in a dream, my body was light and my mind was blank.
It was only when the cold touch touched the skin on the back of my hand that I was jolted awake, and after recognizing Fu Shen Yan, I screamed out in terror, “Get out! Get out of here! Don’t touch my baby!”
Fu Shen Yan frowned and froze, his bony hand stopped in mid-air, his voice became thick, “Shen Shu, look carefully, it’s me, Fu Shen Yan, your lover.”
“Of course I know it’s you, stop trying to confuse me with fancy words! It’s all your fault, you’re the one who harmed my son, give me back my son!” I couldn’t control my emotions at all and ranted madly at him.
Undeterred, Fu Shenyan adjusted his stance and tried to move closer, irritating me even more, “Go away! Liar! Don’t come any closer! Aah! –Aah!”
At the same time, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed Fu Shenyan and pulled him up, dragging him out.
The bedroom was calm again, and I clutched the swaddle tightly, fearing that she might catch a chill, staring blankly at the floor, my mind lingering on the sounds of the noise, but not remembering what had happened.
When the footsteps sounded again, I looked up and saw Shen Yu, wearing a white turtleneck jumper, standing against the light, smiling at me, Four Seasons standing in front of her, reaching towards me pitifully, her voice tinged with tears, “Mum, don’t you want Four Seasons anymore ……”
When I heard Four Seasons’ voice, all my defenses instantly collapsed, and I put one arm around Four Seasons, whimpering and crying.
The doctor then came in, sedated me, and I lost consciousness.
……
“Child! Don’t touch my baby!”
Awakened from my nightmare, I sat up violently from my bed, not bothering to wipe the cold sweat off my forehead, I hurriedly got out of bed to look for my baby, and my heart dropped until I saw the baby sleeping peacefully in the bassinet beside my bed.
When I heard the movement, the door was pushed open and Shen Yu came in, “Awake?”
I nodded, not in the mood to speak.
“You must be hungry, I’ll ask someone to make something to eat and bring it up.” Shen Yu said, glancing in the direction of the balcony with an uncertain expression.
Only then did I notice that there was another person in the room, Fu Shen Yan was standing there from afar, scruff crawling all over his chin, his whole body looked a bit haggard.
Chapter 1692
After a few seconds of entangling my eyes with his, I moved away, not wanting to linger too long.
The maids soon brought in food, and Shen Yu took care of me as I ate it, while Fu Shen Yan stood motionless and watched.
My stomach warmed up and I regained some strength before I officially picked up the baby for the first time, greedily looking at her face, eager to take in every detail in my bones.
The low pressure lasted for about a minute before Shen Yu’s voice rang out throughout the room.
“Blame me, the missing nurse is the one I found and it has been confirmed that last night, she was the one who cooperated with one of the bodyguards outside to switch the child and the person has fled abroad.”
After he finished, the whole room once again fell into silence, the atmosphere was tense and more than cramped.
I looked at my daughter in my arms and had nothing to say.
Even if Shen Yu had done a good job, he would not have been able to escape the consequences of his defenses.
I drew a sharp breath and looked askance at Fu Shen Yan, who was standing in the distance, and said coldly, “Where were you last night?”
Fu Shen Yan’s voice was low, without a hint of ups and downs, “The secretary who followed Mu Zhengting back then, kept the key documents that someone had saved at the time to prove my parents’ innocence, and someone said they had seen that secretary in Vegas …… When you called, I heard that Shen Lao had an accident, just shortly after boarding the plane.”
“The man was found?” I remained indifferent.
“No.” Fu Shen Yan said frankly, “There was talk of being in Mumbai last month too, and like this time, it was all a bluff.”
“Hm. ……” I sneered, feeling sarcastic.
I knew Fu Shen Yan too well, even if he knew it was a fake, he would still go, as long as he could avenge his parents and clear his name, even if he put his life on the line, he wouldn’t hesitate, when he learned of Shen Changlin’s accident, he chose to rush back at the first opportunity, but so what, our son was just born and still taken away, he was so small and premature, could those people take care of him?
That was a warning.
They have never let go of their wariness of Fu Shenyan, taking his only son in a deliberate manner, just to make him keep his peace and stop having illusions of revenge. Perhaps, from the time Fu Shenyan grew into a reigning business genius and showed his mettle, they had already set up a net of heaven and earth, waiting for us to throw ourselves into it.
“Fu Shen Yan, we are too naive, so what if you find your enemy, so what if the other side is not the same as before, they can afford to lose, but what about us?” My emotions were close to breaking down, yet I had to force a smile on my swaddled child, my eyes were wet with tears and I could no longer tell if I was laughing or sad.
Fu Shen Yan stood in place, not saying a word, his tall figure like a solid wall, invisibly bouncing all my emotions back.
“You go away, I’ll find the child myself, don’t you come near us again.”
I loved Fu Shen Yan, but I didn’t have the courage to love anymore.
Now I was more than Shen Shu and more than Fu Shen Yan’s wife, I was the mother of two children, and as long as they were safe, I could put everything on the line.
These words succeeded in stimulating Fu Shen Yan, and almost as soon as the words left his mouth, he walked out in strides, without saying yes or no.
Once he left, the room was left with Shen Yu and me holding the baby.
“Did you send someone to look for it?” I said indifferently.
With the baby gone, I didn’t have the heart to rest.
