Chapter 474: Chapter 471: Abnormal

”The gaze?”

Xiao Nianqing couldn’t help but repeat, a sense of confusion spreading within her heart, like a cloud covering the earth that wouldn’t dissipate!

”Exactly!” The butler, as if grasping a key point, said confidently, ”The look in Miss Lin’s eyes when she woke up was definitely not that of someone who had just regained consciousness!”

”Additionally, there’s something more mystical—intuition!”

After listening to the butler’s words, Xiao Nianqing furrowed her brow and said, ”You’re saying...?”

The old butler, as if already understanding what Xiao Nianqing was about to say, shook his head and explained, ”That’s not what I mean. Although I only met Miss Lin once, I could feel her affection for the young master, and that’s something you can’t fake!”

”As for now...” The old butler paused for a long time before he slowly spoke, ”I only hope that I’m just getting old, and my senses aren’t what they used to be!”

...

Xiao Nianqing looked at the two people in the hospital room, carefully observing their expressions, trying to find even the slightest hint of something amiss.

Watching her son look so happy and her future daughter-in-law with that infinitely gentle and loving smile, Xiao Nianqing still sensed a faint feeling of something being wrong.

If there was anything most unsettling to Xiao Nianqing, it would have to be the smile of her future daughter-in-law. Xiao Tian, in his excitement, hadn’t noticed it, or perhaps even if he were calm, he wouldn’t detect it, but she still accurately captured it!

Behind Lin Bingxuan’s smile, there lurked a certain emotion. Although perfectly concealed by her, the meticulous Xiao Nianqing was quite certain it was indeed there!

If one had to name that emotion, Xiao Nianqing believed it was... reluctance?

Even after observing for a long time without uncovering any patterns, Xiao Nianqing naturally couldn’t make an accurate judgment!

Xiao Nianqing took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Lin Bingxuan’s hospital room...

”Mom?!”

Xiao Tian looked at his mother standing outside the door in disbelief and hurriedly welcomed her in, ”Why didn’t you let us know you were coming?”

”Do I need to tell you that I’m coming to see my future daughter-in-law?” Xiao Nianqing said, pretending to be relaxed, which made Lin Bingxuan’s face blush with embarrassment!

”Auntie!”

Lin Bingxuan struggled to sit up but found herself weak, unable to muster any strength in her arms, furrowing her brow tightly.

Xiao Nianqing quickly stepped forward to stop Lin Bingxuan from getting up, looked at her with gentle eyes, and softly said, ”You haven’t fully recovered yet, don’t move!”

After saying this, she glanced at Xiao Tian, who was grinning foolishly on the side, and rolled her eyes, feeling helpless about her son’s lack of insight, ”What are you standing there for?! Go peel an apple for Bingxuan!”

Xiao Tian obediently agreed, and sat on the nearby sofa to start peeling an apple. Ordinarily, with his skill in using a knife, peeling an apple wouldn’t even take him half a minute, but at this moment, he deliberately slowed his actions!

It was clear he understood his mother’s intention to give them some private space to talk.

Once Xiao Tian left, Lin Bingxuan seemed to become visibly nervous. Seeing her future daughter-in-law’s slightly pale face on the hospital bed, Xiao Nianqing asked with concern, ”How do you feel? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?”

”Much better!” Lin Bingxuan replied with a smile, ”I just feel somewhat weak still!”

”It’s fine, it’s fine!” Xiao Nianqing comforted her, ”You’ve just started to get better and haven’t fully recovered. You’ll be fine in a couple of days!”

After speaking, seeing Lin Bingxuan’s unwavering smile on the hospital bed, Xiao Nianqing decided to play her ace, ”Speaking of which, you and Xiao Tian aren’t young anymore. Once you’re fully recovered, why don’t you two get married?!”

Upon suddenly hearing these words, Lin Bingxuan’s face turned red, and her eyes filled with anticipation and happiness. She then turned her gaze to Xiao Tian, who was in the middle of peeling an apple. Seeing him smiling but not speaking, she replied somewhat dryly, ”Sure... okay!”

After speaking, she lowered her head, the rosy blush giving her otherwise pallor face a touch of vitality.

Upon hearing Lin Bingxuan’s response, Xiao Nianqing’s brow imperceptibly furrowed. But neither Xiao Tian, focused on peeling the apple behind her, nor Lin Bingxuan, who was too shy to lift her head, noticed this moment!

Xiao Tian cut a small piece of the apple and brought it to Lin Bingxuan’s lips, but she, blushing, shook her head, ”I don’t want to eat now, maybe later!”

Xiao Nianqing became increasingly convinced of her suspicion. Just a moment ago, the fleeting hint of reluctance and regret in Lin Bingxuan’s eyes when she lowered her head was completely exposed to her view. But the reason...

”Xiao Tian, let’s step outside for now and let Bingxuan rest a little.”

Having said this, Xiao Nianqing gently brushed Lin Bingxuan’s hair and smiled kindly before turning to leave the room.

”Go ahead!”

Seeing Xiao Tian turn his attention to her, Lin Bingxuan smiled and nodded, giving him an answer!

Xiao Tian placed the apple and knife on the bedside table, gently kissed Lin Bingxuan’s forehead, and then walked out.

Watching Xiao Tian’s back fade away as the door closed behind him, Lin Bingxuan’s tears couldn’t help but flow; if only she could truly recover and marry him, have children together, what happiness that would bring!

Imagining the scenes of marrying Xiao Tian, Lin Bingxuan began to smile happily, as sweet memories of the two of them started to play in her mind...

The first time meeting at the airport with his roguish demeanor, him rescuing her from robbers, talking about the children they might have in the car, wondering if they’d resemble their dad or mom, him carrying her through the park...

Even sacrificing his abilities to protect her and getting revenge from his enemies!

As she reached this point in her reverie, Lin Bingxuan’s tears slowly dried, feeling an unprecedented determination in her heart!

No matter what aspect, Xiao Tian is the one she loves!

And it is precisely for this reason that Lin Bingxuan cannot allow herself to become a burden to him.

Reaching for the fruit knife on the nightstand, Lin Bingxuan’s face filled with difficulty—not out of fear, but because this was all the strength she could muster...

——

In the corridor outside the hospital room, Xiao Nianqing pulled her son to a relatively open seat, her face tense as she asked, ”Did you notice anything unusual?!”

Just having sat down, Xiao Tian was stunned by his mother’s question, ”What do you mean by unusual?”

”Bingxuan!” Xiao Nianqing urgently grasped her son’s hand and quickly said, ”Think carefully, has Bingxuan been acting strangely since she woke up?!”

”Strangely? Let me think!”

Seeing the urgency in his mother’s demeanor, Xiao Tian, realizing she wasn’t joking, began to carefully recall everything about Lin Bingxuan’s awakening.

But even after wracking his brains for a long time, Xiao Tian couldn’t pinpoint anything specifically because, to speak of strangeness, things had been strange right from the start...
