In response to this question, Liang Yi gave an immediate answer, "No."
Liang Yi continued, "Just like you, Tan Linyuan doesn't know the child is still alive for now."
Nan Yu was taken aback.
So he didn't know either?
Liang Yi told Nan Yu that the child had indeed suffered from hypoxia and suffocation at that time, but the doctors didn't give up and managed to save the baby.
Nan Yu's voice was very soft. "Then... why didn't you inform me?"
"You know the situation on Linyuan's side," Liang Yi sighed and glanced at her. "If we had announced the baby's safe birth back then, it wasn't certain that the child would grow up healthily."
Dangers lurked everywhere.
"So I made the decision on my own to hide the child first and wait until the obstacles on his side were cleared."
"Wasn't the car accident last time an accident?" Nan Yu asked.
Liang Yi shook his head. "Not necessarily. I had someone check from the freight driver Wang Gang's company and found their shift schedule.
"It wasn't Wang Gang's turn to haul goods that day, but he just happened to swap shifts with his colleague."
Liang Yi thought this was the biggest suspicion. "Apart from his colleague saying that he never swapped shifts before, there's no other evidence to prove that he was instructed by someone."
After hearing this, Nan Yu was extremely shocked.
But her greatest concern was still on her own child. "My child is still alive..."
"Sorry. I originally planned to inform you after the child turned three months old. I didn't expect you to find out on your own first."
"Why three months?"
Liang Yi spread his hands. "Because three months is long enough for those people to let their guard down."
Nan Yu and Tan Linyuan had divorced, and she had been living alone in Jingbei. As time passed, she would have nothing to do with him, so there would be no need for them to keep an eye on her.
Nan Yu thought that maybe this was the fate between her and her child.
If it hadn't been for that fleeting glance that day, she might have learned about his existence much later.
Thinking of this, her heart felt empty.
A complex emotion welled up in her chest and was hard to relieve for a long time.
She wanted to blame, but didn't know where to start; she wanted to thank, but thought Liang Yi's actions were too abominable.
"You've gone too far," Nan Yu finally said after a while.
"It was indeed too rash, but it was also for your own good."
Liang Yi clicked his tongue. "You were in a coma in the operating room at that time. If he hadn't been seriously injured too, he would have probably knelt outside the delivery room. Judging from his attitude, if something really happened to you, he might have just committed suicide with you."
"You know, he's been bound by the prophecy for his whole life. It's no different from a mental demon."
Nan Yu remembered that he had told her about it.
He didn't want to watch her die because of him one day.
With all kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart, she became even more silent.
Finally, she asked to see her child.
This request wasn't too much, so Liang Yi nodded in agreement. "The child is at Li Guanyue's place. It's the safest there."
Nan Yu had just learned that Li Guanyue's identity was indeed extraordinary. Three generations of his ancestors were all important figures in Jingbei.
It was a proper choice to entrust the child to him.
No one would have the guts or the means to interfere in Li Guanyue's family.
When they came out of the room, Li Guanyue was already waiting for them outside.
As if he had expected it, he had already arranged a driver to take them back.
Liang Yi was used to being carefree and soon forgot about his worry that Nan Yu might be angry.
"I mainly planned to keep this from Tan Linyuan. I didn't plan to hide it from you," Liang Yi scratched his head. "If you really blame me, just consider it as me owing you a favor."
Nan Yu didn't say a word.
At this moment, she didn't have the time to judge Liang Yi's right or wrong. She just wanted to see her child immediately.
Since the child was born, she hadn't even held him once.
Li Guanyue's house was a typical siheyuan with very strict security.
The guards checked their identities before letting them in.
Li Guanyue gave Nan Yu a gentle smile. "Please understand."
Nan Yu shook her head.
Actually, the stricter the security was, the more at ease she felt.
At least she could be sure that her child would really be safe here.
The baby's room was arranged in a small bedroom, and there were professional nannies taking care of the child in shifts 24 hours a day.
Li Guanyue asked the nanny to leave first to give Nan Yu some alone time with the child.
Although she had been looking forward to seeing the child on the way here, when she finally saw him, she felt a bit timid.
She took a deep breath and walked towards the cradle step by step.
When she finally saw the child in the cradle, she held her breath instantly.
The child was like a porcelain doll with an innocent and tender little face, sleeping soundly.
She was right that day.
But at that time, there was a glass between them. Now that she was close, she was surprised to find that the child was so small.
He was so tiny that she didn't even dare to reach out and hold him, afraid of hurting him.
She was also afraid of waking him up, so she even breathed more softly.
She had never taken care of a child before, so she was at a complete loss in front of this baby.
She really wanted to touch his face.
After making sure that he was sleeping soundly, she finally summoned up the courage to reach out her finger and touch his cheek.
At that moment, Nan Yu couldn't help but exclaim in her heart: So a baby's face is so soft.
It was so soft that her finger almost sank in.
At this moment, her motherly love was instantly aroused, and she couldn't help but bend down closer -
Suddenly, the child in the cradle opened his eyes.
When their eyes met, Nan Yu was stunned for a moment. Her first reaction was whether he would cry.
But he didn't.
He stared at her with a pair of curious, round eyes.
Looking at his face, Nan Yu couldn't help but want to cry. She felt both sad and happy.
How could his eyes, nose, and mouth all be so much like that person?
It was really annoying. He was clearly her son, but there was not a single bit of her in him.
She felt an indescribable jealousy.
The child stared at her for a while, then suddenly stretched out his chubby arms and waved at her.
"Hmm? Do you want something?" She leaned closer, almost able to see the fine hairs on his face.
His little finger poked her face, and his soft little hand imitated her action and pinched her face.
Nan Yu was melted by such a cute action and wanted to hold him in her arms and kiss his forehead.
This was her baby.
Her son.
The child she had carried in her womb for so long with expectations and happiness.
...
When Nan Yu came out, Li Guanyue tilted his chin, signaling the nanny to come over.
The nanny walked up to Nan Yu with a smile and handed her an album. "Miss Nan, these are the photos of the child from birth until the day before yesterday. We've been recording them all the time."
This was what Li Guanyue had instructed before. He said that one day when the child was sent back, he was afraid that the child's parents would regret missing this period of time, so he had the photos specially collected and sorted out.
In addition, there was also a video recorder with many video clips of the child.
All these were prepared for Nan Yu.
Nan Yu took them over in surprise.
They said that a newborn baby changes every day, and it was really true.
She flipped through the album page by page. Watching the wrinkled little face gradually grow and become cute and chubby, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
