Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213: She Should Have Died That Day!
Looking at the children, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu smiled. They had been worried that their adopted children would feel sad or uncomfortable with the pregnancy news. Fortunately, the children were sensible and truly treated them as their family.

Even if they would have biological children in the future, for them, Dong Li and Dong Huang were their eldest and second child. They would always treat them as their own.

Lu Jueyu put her hand on her lower abdomen and said, “Xiao Huang, Xiao Li, Let’s keep this little secret for now.”

“Mother, can’t I tell my cousin or Ah Lin?” Dong Huang asked.

“Let’s wait until your brother or sister is three months old before telling them.” Lu Jueyu said.

“Okay then,” Dong Huang replied with a hint of disappointment.

Meanwhile, in the Feng family’s house, Feng Lin was helping his grandma cook in the kitchen. Thanks to Lu Jueyu sending over grains, flour, meat, and other ingredients, their family was finally able to have two meals a day again.

At this moment, Grandma Feng was kneading dough for steamed buns. To save the white flour, she used half white flour and half corn flour.

By adding white flour, the previously coarse-grain steamed buns became more delicious. Not only did they no longer feel dry and difficult to eat, but they also carried the fragrance of corn with a hint of sweetness.

Beside her, Feng Lin was preparing a smashed cucumber salad. The chili oil he used was a gift from Lu Jueyu, and with some added seasonings, it became a perfect accompaniment to the steamed buns.

While waiting for the dough to rise, Grandma Feng prepared the filling for the steamed buns. She chopped vegetables and mushrooms, added an egg and seasonings, and mixed everything thoroughly. Then, she poured water into the wok and covered it with a lid.

As the water boiled, she started wrapping the buns. After finishing the cucumber salad, Feng Lin stood on a low stool and helped his grandma wrap the buns.

While they worked, Grandma Feng asked, “Ah Lin, do you blame your mother?”

Feng Lin was no longer as angry as he had been at noon. He had already found his anchor, and with Dong Huang’s support, he no longer felt at a loss. Thus, he no longer blamed his mother.

However, he also didn’t want to have anything to do with his parents. Whatever choices they made in the future, he wouldn’t interfere or complain. He was determined to live his life well for himself and his loved ones.

After a moment of silence, he replied, “Grandma, I have thought it through. When they left me and built a new family, I did resent them. But after five years, I no longer need them in my life.”

“I have my Grandma, Grandpa, Xiao Huang, and many friends. I have people I want to protect. I want to grow up quickly to become a good and capable man.”

“If I keep resenting my parents, I won’t have time to improve myself. Without improving, I will be left behind by Xiao Huang and my friends. Since resentment gives me nothing, why should I hold onto it?”

He turned to look at his grandma and added with a smile, “Grandma, at noon, Xiao Huang told me that as long as I never give up on myself, I will never be alone. She also said she would be my family and would never leave me alone.Therefore, I want to live my life positively.”

When Grandma Feng heard his words, her eyes grew teary. She let out a sigh and said, “Ah Lin, your mother’s husband told your grandpa and me that they will visit you again in two days.”

“Grandma hopes you will have a good talk with them when they come. Since you have made up your mind, it’s best to make everything clear to them.”

Feng Lin remained silent for a long time after he heard this before saying, “Grandma, I understand.”

Since her grandson had said he no longer resented his mother, Grandma Feng assumed he might agree to go with her to the city. The thought of him leaving in the near future filled her with sadness and reluctance.

She looked at her grandson and took a deep breath to calm herself.

Her husband was right. As Feng Lin’s grandma, even if she couldn’t help him directly, she should at least support his choices. After resolving her emotions, Grandma Feng no longer allowed herself to dwell in sadness.

Meanwhile, at the county town’s hotel, Ye Xinyue and He Xieyu arrived with their bodyguards. While one of the bodyguards went to check in, the two waited in the lobby. Although the hotel couldn’t compare to their house, it was clean and tidy.

Not long after, the check-in procedure was completed, and the bodyguard returned. Handing a key to them, he said, “Sir, Madam, this is your room key. This hotel doesn’t provide breakfast, but we can request hot water.”

Taking the key, He Xieyu nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work. Everyone must be tired, so you can go to your rooms and rest.”

The bodyguards nodded and said, “Sir, we will be staying in the room across from you. If you need anything, please let us know.”

After the brief exchange, the group headed to their rooms.

Outside the hotel, Yang Mengyao stood on the roadside with her son. Her face was pale as paper, and her body trembled with fear. Covering her mouth with her hand, she stared in horror at the group’s retreating figures.

“W-why is she still alive? She should have died that day!” she muttered in disbelief.

Noticing his mother’s trembling hand, Feng Heng asked in confusion, “Mother, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Hearing her son’s question, Yang Mengyao snapped back to her senses. She looked at him and forced herself to calm down. After a moment, she said, “Ah Heng, let’s pack our clothes and go back to your grandparent’s home, okay?”
