Chapter 606: Chapter 636: The Husband of the ’Lin Nian’ in the Book
Lin Nian also recognized Lu Jiuan.
She knew that in the book, Lu Jiuan was the husband of the original ’Lin Nian.’ However, Lin Nian disliked the man. He was utterly selfish and self-serving. Even though he supposedly loved ’Lin Nian,’ when a crisis arose and a sacrifice had to be made, he would still sacrifice the woman he claimed to deeply love.
Furthermore, as the supporting male lead, everything Lu Jiuan did was no match for the male lead, Shen Feng. In the end, he lost everything.
However, after Lin Nian got out of prison, her parents had sold her to an old man to be his wife—the same man who had previously caused a scene at a wedding.
Lin Nian stole the old man’s money and ran away, but she was on the verge of being caught. Fortunately, she ran into Lu Jiuan, who was out of town on a business trip.
Lu Jiuan fell for Lin Nian at first sight and helped her escape. One pitch-black night, the two of them couldn’t control themselves...
But afterward, Lin Nian cried, saying she already had someone she loved and that she wanted to go to North City to find him.
His heart ached for her. Plus, not only was she his first woman, but he knew his family would never agree to let him marry her.
So, he offered to help Lin Nian get to North City.
That was how Lin Nian managed to successfully reach North City and reunite with Shen Feng.
Lin Nian knew Lu Jiuan still hadn’t forgotten her. Back then, she had only given him a nickname, not her real name. She figured he had no idea that she was his wife’s high school classmate.
Seeing Lu Jiuan pretending not to know her, just as she’d expected, Lin Nian sneered inwardly. But she didn’t call him out on it and also pretended not to recognize him.
At that moment, Meng Lanlan didn’t notice the strange glances passing between the two of them. She asked Lin Nian, "Xiao Nian, is Shen Feng not home? Jiuan was hoping to discuss some business matters with him."
Shen Feng had gone to the paint factory and wouldn’t be back for hours, but Lin Nian smiled and said, "He’ll be back in a little while. Why don’t you wait here?"
"Okay, I’ll wait in the living room then."
Lin Nian was dressed casually, her hair barely combed. Just then, the baby started crying again. A flash of annoyance crossed Lin Nian’s eyes, but she gave an apologetic smile and said, "Please, make yourselves comfortable in the living room. I have to go check on the baby."
Meng Lanlan quickly replied, "Of course, go on ahead."
The moment Lin Nian turned and entered the bedroom, the smile vanished from her face. She frowned and asked the nanny, "Why is she crying again?"
The nanny said helplessly, "It’s feeding time, so of course she’s crying. Oh, right, there’s something on the stove in the kitchen. I’ll go watch it; you can feed the baby for now."
With that, the nanny left.
This Lin Nian was an expert at slacking off. She usually didn’t even want to feed the baby. When the child cried from hunger in the middle of the night, the woman would just roll over and go back to sleep.
’The nanny had seen mothers who didn’t like their children, but she’d never seen anything like this.’
And Lin Nian had no intention of feeding her, either. Fortunately, the nanny had already prepared the bottle. She looked at her wailing daughter, extremely irritated. "All you know how to do is cry! If only you would just sleep quietly! It would be best if you just slept all day long!"
Lin Nian actually wanted to have a word with Lu Jiuan, but she was stuck with her daughter.
Suddenly, she remembered the sleeping pills in her nightstand...
Half an hour later, Lin Nian emerged from the bedroom after freshening up a bit. "The baby is always so fussy," she said apologetically. "There’s nothing to be done."
As she spoke, she tucked her bangs behind her ear and casually adjusted her collar, revealing her slender, snow-white neck.
But because she was so thin, it was a heart-wrenching sight.
Or rather, it was a heart-wrenching sight for anyone who cared about her.
