Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: A Daughter-in-Law Is in Sight

Along the way, Tang Yue watched Lian Qingyang’s anxious expression and silently thought to herself, Mom, your daughter-in-law is secured.

"Sister Xiao Yue, I’m fine, just a bit dizzy and weak," Jin Yan said after sitting in the car for a while. Leaning on Tang Yue, she felt a lot better. As her mind gradually cleared, she said, "It’s just that the weather turned cold these past few days, and I caught a cold. No worries, I’ll be fine after taking some cold medicine."

"Xiao Yan, we’re almost at the hospital, so let’s have you checked," Tang Yue said with a smile. "Don’t worry about things at the studio. Once you’ve recovered, you can come back to help."

"Rest on my shoulder," Tang Yue deliberately stopped her from speaking. Her face was as red as a cooked shrimp, and her hand and forehead were burning, probably from a high fever. If she has a high fever, she should rest more.

Upon reaching the hospital, Tang Yue helped Jin Yan to see a doctor, but seeing Jin Yan so weak, Lian Qingyang couldn’t stand it and directly carried her in a princess hold to the consultation room.

The clueless doctor thought that something major had happened to Jin Yan.

Tang Yue looked at her foolish brother and couldn’t help but clear her throat, then explained to the doctor with a smile, "Doctor, she’s got a high fever. Could you please check her?"

"Let’s take her temperature first," the doctor said, handing over the thermometer, then asked, "Are you newlyweds? You seem really close."

"No."

Lian Qingyang instinctively shook his head, remembering the dream he had that night, and his face instantly turned bright red.

Lian Qingyang added, "We’re colleagues."

Tang Yue couldn’t bear to see her foolish brother being so clueless. She stepped forward and changed the subject, saying, "Doctor, during her periods, she feels quite uncomfortable as well. Could you check her for that too?"

"Sure." The doctor was quite kind, looking at Lian Qingyang and then at the weary Jin Yan, thinking that these two are quite young, perhaps they’re not aware yet.

The doctor just proceeded as usual without saying much.

The doctor examined Jin Yan and found her fever quite severe, advising hospitalization for observation.

Jin Yan thought taking some medicine would suffice, but Lian Qingyang disagreed, insisting on hospitalization. "Gold, stop being stubborn. You’re too weak to stand. Listen to the doctor and get hospitalized."

With those words, Lian Qingyang already went off on his own to pay for the hospitalization procedures.

"Miss, your colleague is quite something," the doctor said with a twinkle in his eye, looking at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan simply pretended not to hear, acting unwell.

Tang Yue smiled silently to herself. Since Jin Yan just had a common fever, there was no need to worry. She accompanied Jin Yan to the ward to rest. Once Lian Qingyang completed the hospitalization formalities, she said, "Xiao Yang, since you’re free, you can look after Xiao Yan here at the hospital. I’ll head home now."

"Sis, I’m a guy. How am I supposed to take care of her?" Lian Qingyang felt uncomfortable at the thought of being alone with Jin Yan in the hospital, especially after having that dream. Whenever he saw Jin Yan, he couldn’t help but think of that pulse-racing scene.

In the dream, Jin Yan was his beautiful bride, even...

Lian Qingyang shook his head to dispel those enchanting thoughts.

"What’s wrong with being a guy? I didn’t ask you to bathe Xiao Yan, just to help if needed. She’ll be on a drip and can’t possibly be in the hospital alone, right?" Tang Yue retorted.

Tang Yue’s straightforward words made Lian Qingyang even more uneasy. When he felt uneasy, he couldn’t help but rub his head, saying, "Sis, what are you saying? I’m just... thinking it’s inconvenient."

"Inconvenient how?" Tang Yue countered.

Lian Qingyang hesitated for a while before saying, "She’s sick; her family should take care of her. Feels inappropriate for me to do it."

"Inappropriate how?" Tang Yue glanced at him sidelong and said, "You said you had a few days off, and this is just right to take care of her, isn’t it? Grandpa Jin is on a business trip, Dad Jin and Mommy Jin are away on vacation. The studio is busy, and you know I’m preparing for the spring fashion show next year, so I can’t step away."

"So..."

Tang Yue shrugged and said, "You’re the most suitable, right?"

"Sis, if nothing else, there’s Mom," Lian Qingyang continued to feel uneasy.

Tang Yue gave him no chance to refuse, saying, "Xiao Yang, I’m busy now, so you take care of her here. Xiao Yan knows you, and it’s not right for a girl to be alone in the hospital, right?"

Lian Qingyang: "..."

Sis, I still have things to say. Could you not rush off so quickly?

In such a short time, Tang Yue had already sped off swiftly. Was he a tiger that would eat people?

*

The Tang Family.

"Mom, I’m back!" Tang Yue directly headed to the Tang Family and saw Zhang Hualian in the kitchen. Happily, she said, "Mom, your daughter-in-law is secured."

"Huh?"

Zhang Hualian looked at Tang Yue puzzled.

Tang Yue mysteriously recounted what just happened, and Zhang Hualian said, "Xiao Yan is sick, is she alright? Should we go see her?"

"Mom, this is such a good opportunity for them to be alone together that it can’t be missed, right?" Tang Yue said with a bright smile, pulling Zhang Hualian, adding, "Mom, Grandpa Jin is truly on a business trip, and Dad Jin and Mommy Jin are really out traveling. I’m not lying, and with Xiao Yang at the hospital for a few days, who knows, Xiao Yang might just figure it out?"

"But, it’s late at night, and for a single man and woman to be together might damage Xiao Yan’s reputation," Zhang Hualian worried about Jin Yan’s reputation.

Tang Yue’s smile grew deeper. She said, "Mom, don’t worry. I’ll switch Xiao Yang out at night. You come home, and I’ll go take care of her in the evening."

"You?" Zhang Hualian looked at her daughter, who’s as delicate as a flower, and said, "No, I’ll go take care of her."

"Mom, Xiao Yan and I are about the same age; I can take care of her,"

Tang Yue rejected Zhang Hualian’s proposal. She also wanted to talk to Xiao Yan about life at night. If her foolish little brother never figures things out, she can’t let the girl be held up, can she?

The Hospital.

Jin Yan, hooked up to a drip, fell into a deep sleep. The sleeping Jin Yan’s face remained red, lacking her usual liveliness.

Lian Qingyang sat nearby, gazing at the sleeping Jin Yan, his heart pounding. At this moment, Jin Yan seemed to merge with the Jin Yan from his dream. Her long black hair cascaded over the white pillow, making her face look even smaller, a perfect match for classical beauty. If dressed in ancient attire, she would be the spitting image of an ancient beauty.

He had always known that she looked quite good, but now he realized it wasn’t just quite good. She was beautiful to the point of making people...

Drip, drip, drip.

Lian Qingyang instinctively touched his nose, saw a bright red stain on his hand.

He had a nosebleed.

Lian Qingyang hurriedly tilted his head back, fumbling to find a tissue, stuffing it in his nose, head reclined, unable to stop the vivid images from that dream from floating in his mind.

No more thinking.
