Chapter 180: A Feeling of Strangeness
Chapter 180: A Feeling of Strangeness
From then on, Ye Hao was gentle and considerate to Lin Rusu every day, taking care of her in a soft voice.
Apart from hugging, Lin Rusu did not have any more intimate contact with Ye Hao. She was still a little resistant and felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
She didn't know why, although this man was very nice to her, she just didn't feel that familiar feeling.
This continued until Lin Rusu gave birth to the child.
During this year, Ye Hao always regarded himself as Lin Rusu's husband.
He took good care of her and cared about her every move. When she needed him, he would be by her side to give her support and encouragement.
Even when she gave birth, he paced back and forth anxiously outside the room, feeling both worried and expectant.
People who don’t know would really think the child is his. His nervous look and concerned eyes make people feel that he is the father of a child.
Hearing the baby crying, he felt delighted.
When he saw the midwife carrying a baby out, he immediately went up to ask about the child's condition, not the mother's. Although he cared about Lin Rusu, at this moment, he was more concerned about whether the baby was a boy or a girl.
"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. It's a girl." The midwife's voice was full of joy.
When Ye Hao heard that it was a girl, his face suddenly darkened, but he immediately reacted and asked hypocritically.
"How is Madam?" Ye Hao's voice contained a hint of concern, but it seemed very hypocritical.
"Madam is fine, everyone is safe." The midwife's answer made Ye Hao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, go down and claim your reward." Ye Hao's voice sounded a little perfunctory; his mind was no longer on this.
The midwife clearly noticed that Ye Hao was unhappy, but as a midwife, she had seen a lot of such things.
Generally, the host family would be unhappy if the first child is a daughter, but unexpectedly, she could still receive a reward, which made the midwife very happy.
She handed the child to the prepared wet nurse, and happily followed the servants to receive the reward.
Ye Hao didn't even look at the child. He walked into the room and looked at Lin Rusu who had just given birth.
"Susu, how are you?" Ye Hao's voice was gentle and his eyes were full of concern.
"Master, where is the child? How is the child?" Lin Rusu's voice was full of fatigue, but also full of concern for the child.
"The wet nurse took the child away." Ye Hao's answer was very brief, and he didn't seem to care much about the child.
Lin Rusu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the child was fine.
Ye Hao continued.
Ye Hao went on to say, "Susu, you just gave birth to a baby, you should have a good rest. I'll ask the servants to make you some delicious food to nourish your body, and then we'll give birth to a big fat boy next year." There was a hint of expectation in Ye Hao's voice, he hoped to have a son.
Lin Rusu was a little touched when she heard the first words, but she felt disappointed when she heard the second words.
Seeing that Lin Rusu didn't say anything, Ye Hao thought she was tired, so he gave her a few instructions and then left. He was filled with disappointment, but he also knew that he couldn't show it now.
Lin Rusu looked at Ye Hao's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.
She realized that although Ye Hao cared about her very much, he seemed to care more about the gender of the child.
When he learned that it was a daughter, Lin Rusu saw clearly the momentary gloom on his face and the hypocritical concern that followed.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, how much of this man's sincerity was really for her, and was he really her husband?
Time passed slowly. Although Lin Rusu was not close to Ye Hao, she loved her daughter very much.
Whenever her eyes fell on her daughter's rosy little face, an indescribable wonderful feeling would surge in her heart.
That feeling contained a hint of heartache but also a fullness of happiness. She would often fall into deep thought, not understanding why she had such a complex and intense feeling.
She thought it might have something to do with her lost memories.
She often stares at her daughter, carefully observing every detail of her daughter.
Her daughter's curved eyebrows, big eyes and small nose all made her feel extremely close to her.
However, apart from the fact that her appearance was somewhat similar to his own, there was no trace of Ye Hao in his daughter.
She couldn't help but feel puzzled. Logically, a child should inherit certain characteristics from both parents, but why did her daughter look nothing like Ye Hao?
Suddenly one day, Ye Hao got drunk and staggered into Lin Rusu's room.
A loud "bang" instantly woke Lin Rusu up from her sleep.
She sat up in panic, her eyes filled with fear.
When she saw clearly that the person coming was Ye Hao, she couldn't help but feel even more flustered and filled with fear.
But she still suppressed the fear in her heart and stepped forward timidly.
"Master, what happened to you tonight? Go back to your room and rest." Lin Rusu's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of worry and uneasiness.
"Why go back to this room? This is my room." Ye Hao said vaguely, his eyes were blurry and his face was flushed.
Ever since Lin Rusu and Ye Hao got together, she has never slept in the same bed with Ye Hao.
Although Ye Hao sometimes showed a look of desire for closeness, he never forced her and always kept a certain distance.
However, for Lin Rusu, she always felt an inexplicable fear whenever Ye Hao approached her.
She didn't understand why she had such a reaction. Was it because of the strangeness after losing her memory, or was there some other deeper reason?
Lin Rusu looked at the drunken Ye Hao, and the fear in her heart became stronger. She bit her lips gently, trying to keep herself calm.
"Master, you are drunk. Let me help you go to another room to rest." Lin Rusu said courageously.
Ye Hao grabbed her arm, his eyes flashing with complex light. "Susu, why are you always so resistant to me? Am I not good enough for you?"
Lin Rusu was so hurt by his grip that she struggled to break free. "Master, you hurt me."
Ye Hao did not let go, but pulled her closer.
"I have given so much to you, but you don't even give me a little tenderness."
Tears welled up in Lin Rusu's eyes.
"Master, please don't do this, let me go."
Lin Rusu struggled, but Ye Hao was very strong and she couldn't get free.
Just then, the daughter was woken up and started crying loudly.
Lin Rusu's heart tightened instantly, and she desperately wanted to break away from Ye Hao to take care of her daughter.
When Ye Hao heard the child crying, he seemed to sober up a little. He loosened his hand and watched Lin Rusu run towards her daughter in panic.
Lin Rusu picked up her daughter and coaxed her gently, her eyes full of love.
Ye Hao stood aside and watched this scene. Then he turned around and staggered out of the room.
Lin Rusu looked at his departing back and felt relieved, but at the same time she felt an inexplicable melancholy.
From then on, Lin Rusu was more careful to keep her distance from Ye Hao, and she put all her thoughts on her daughter.
