A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

The nurse came over and informed her about the child’s condition. “Mrs. Pei, the baby was somewhat thin when he was born. However, these days, he was well taken care of, so his condition is very stable, except for some problems regarding his blood type.”

“What problems?” Xia Ling asked.

The nurse said, “Madam, you’re blood type A, so Mr. Pei must have a rare blood type. This baby inherited his father’s blood type and has a rare MNSSU blood type. You must protect him more because, if he gets injured and loses too much blood, it will be difficult to get a timely blood transfusion.”

Xia Ling’s heart sank.

She remembered hearing someone say that Li Lei had a rare blood type.

She did not think that her child would inherit this trait. Li Lei had many excellent qualities, but inheriting this blood type was not a lucky thing. This blood type was too dangerous, and she only hoped that her baby would be safe. She hugged her child with complicated emotions.

The nurse reminded her again. “You must take more caution and protect him more.”

Xia Ling nodded and thanked her for her reminder.

Feng Kun found out that she had given birth to a son and went to the hospital to visit her.

He gave the baby many old clothes and said, “These are old baby clothes from various families and have good energy. If you let your newborn son wear them, he will have a good life. I’ve already disinfected them prior to giving them to you.”

Legend had it that if a child wore clothes from many different families, he would lead a good life.

Initially, Nanny Zhou also helped her look for many clothes from different families. Unfortunately, after the abortion medicine incident, Xia Ling no longer trusted Nanny Zhou and was unwilling to use items that Nanny Zhou gave her.

Now, after receiving Feng Kun’s clothes, Xia Ling was very grateful. “Thank you.”

“Why are you being so polite?” Feng Kun smiled. “Let me see the baby.”

Xia Ling carefully handed the child over to him. The baby in her arms was soundly asleep with his little lips curled up slightly. She did not know what he was dreaming about, but it seemed to be a good dream.

Xia Ling smiled. “He’s really well-behaved. He knew that a guest was coming and pretended to be obedient. You don’t know how much he tortures us every day. If he feels a little uncomfortable, he will cry, and his sleep is very light, so we have to keep comforting him endlessly.”

Feng Kun smiled and praised him. “He’s a smart boy.”

“Exactly.” Xia Ling also smiled. “I hope he can be like his father in the future…” She wanted to say that she hoped that she would be as smart as his father, but started to think about that man who was at the other end of the world instead. Immediately, she felt a little sorrowful.

Feng Kun guessed her feelings and changed the subject. “This child was born in winter. You have to be more careful and remember to keep it warm.”

Xia Ling nodded and concealed her emotions.

“The doctor said…” She hesitated for a while. She could only tell this to Feng Kun. “The child has Li Lei’s blood type and can’t lose blood unnecessarily.”

Feng Kun was taken aback and gasped. “In that case, you should really make sure the child returns to Li Lei’s side. Both of them have the same blood type, which means both of them are a good blood type match.”

Xia Ling hesitated. What Feng Kun said made sense. If both of them were together, her child would be safer as his life would have more protection. However… “If Li Lei finds out that I gave birth to a son for him and wants me to return to his side, what should I do?”

Feng Kun thought about it and smiled. “Xiao Ling, this is a good opportunity.”

“What good opportunity?” Xia Ling was utterly confused.

Feng Kun said, “I think Pei Ziheng won’t agree to let this child return to Li Lei’s side.”

At first, Xia Ling did not understand what Feng Kun meant, so he explained to her, and slowly, Xia Ling’s eyes sparkled.

She stayed in the hospital for some time.

Xia Ling and her child were better, so they were discharged.

On the day of their discharge, the air was cold, and the sky was clear. Only Chu Chen and the chauffeur accompanied her and her son. Even the nurse could not tolerate it anymore and complained. “No matter how busy Mr. Pei is, he should be here to pick you up. You just gave birth to his son. If he treats you like this, how will he be like in the future?”

The nurses originally thought that Pei Ziheng really loved Xia Ling. Later, when Xia Ling was hospitalized for a long time, they changed their minds. Which husband would disappear for more than a month during the recovery period of his wife and child? No matter how much money he spent or how many helpers he hired, what was the use?

Xia Ling did not respond to the nurse. She smiled politely and carried the child away.

Behind her, the nurses commented again. “Do you think that Ye Xingling schemed to marry Pei Ziheng? Was Boss Pei this cold to her and her child because he was forced to marry her?”

“That’s enough. Stop commenting.” Another nurse said. “The mother and child are pitiful enough.”

Their gossip made Xia Ling feel somewhat forlorn.

She carried the child in her arms tighter and could not help but think about what would happen if her child was born with his biological father by his side. Would he be well taken care of? Would their family of three be happy and would others envy them?

Unfortunately, those were just thoughts.

She entered Pei Ziheng’s Rolls Royce and went home.

The red brick walls of the villa were still exquisite, and the black iron door made by a master craftsman was decorated with large lush ivy walls. The chauffeur opened the door for Xia Ling. She got off with her child and walked into this familiar yet distant home.

“Madam is back home!” Nanny Zhou greeted her and had a warm smile on her face. “Madam, you’ve suffered during this period of time. Are you tired after coming back from the hospital? Come, give young… the baby to me.” She initially wanted to say young master, but she suddenly remembered that this child was not Pei Ziheng’s, so she changed the way she addressed him. “Exchange the burden.”

However, Xia Ling looked at her in alarm. She took a step back and carried the child further away.

She could not be blamed. When she was pregnant, the pain of the abortion medicine caused her to be unable to trust Nanny Zhou anymore. Nanny Zhou stretched out her hand and looked a little guilty.

A tall man walked out from the front hall and stood at the gallery to look at her.

It was Pei Ziheng.

Today, he was wearing a dark sweater, and he looked colder than usual.

He looked at Xia Ling without saying a word. After a month, she had slimmed down. Her palm-size face was smaller, and her chin was sharper. She was all skin and bones. She was dressed in a light beige long coat and holding an infant wearing cotton clothes. She stood in the courtyard with a precautious stance and looked lonely as if a gust of wind could knock her over.

His heart was annoyed.

“Give the child to Nanny Zhou.” He ordered.

She was still very vigilant.

Nanny Zhou said, “Madam, just give the child to me. Since you’re back, you can’t carry him for 24/7. Besides, it’s winter, and the courtyard is very cold. What happens if the child catches a cold?”
