Listening to her words, Lu Tianyang felt a sense of helplessness. However, looking into her eyes, he realized he couldn't refuse her. He gently patted Xiao Ya's shoulder and said, "I promise you, but I have one condition."
"What is it?" Ye Ya thought that as long as he agreed to let her return, she would accept any reasonable request.
"I want a key too. I want to be able to see you and the child whenever I wish." Lu Tianyang believed that even if he let her go back, he couldn't forfeit his basic rights. It was like a territorial issue; he needed to have access.
"No way, I won't agree to that!" Ye Ya immediately opposed without thinking. What did he mean by being able to see them anytime? That was equivalent to him moving in with her! Why should he have that right?
"Then I won’t let you and our daughter go back. You can stay here." Lu Tianyang remained calm, looking at Ye Ya with an air of confidence, much like a cunning fox. Ye Ya felt a surge of resentment inside.
"Lu Tianyang, what gives you the right to demand my house key?" Ye Ya was furious at this shameless man.
"Because I am Chen Chen's father. Xiao Ya, why not just stay here? Aren't we doing well as a family?"
"Who said we are a family? Don’t go around claiming relatives! Fine, I’ll agree to your condition, but I’ll move back tomorrow." Ye Ya thought that living there was far less comfortable than being in her own home.
"Let’s wait until the baby is a month old. Besides, didn’t I tell you to take care of yourself during the confinement period? If you neglect your health now, it will be troublesome later. You really don’t listen," Lu Tianyang said, lightly tapping her on the head.
"Lu Tianyang, why are you being so verbose? What does this have to do with you?"
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? You are my wife. When we grow old, it will be me who suffers," Lu Tianyang replied as he turned over and got into bed. The bed was indeed large; it felt wasteful for just one person to sleep in it.
"Who is your wife? Who agreed to marry you? Stop being shameless! Let go of my hand!" Ye Ya noticed that this man had gotten into bed and thought it was ridiculous for him to act like this.
"Don’t move; you’ll wake our daughter. Xiao Ya, I’m really tired today. Let’s just sleep," he said as he pulled her closer under the blanket. Ye Ya pushed against him forcefully, but soon realized he had already fallen asleep with his loud snores. She knew he was just pretending.
Ye Ya turned away, wanting to give this reckless man a piece of her mind, but when she saw the fatigue on his face, she found herself unable to do so. With a soft sigh, she thought it was just one night; she could endure it.
However, Ye Ya found it hard to sleep as her mind was troubled. She believed she and her daughter could live well on their own, but this man kept insisting on marrying her time and again. It seemed he was serious about it too. She could easily imagine how his family would react against such a union. Lu Tianyang, why do you insist on pursuing this? Is it worth it?
There are many women who would want to marry you; why cling so stubbornly to me—a woman born out of wedlock? Is it for our daughter’s sake? To provide her with a complete family? After pondering for a moment, Ye Ya concluded that perhaps that was the only reason that made sense.
She turned to the side, looking at the crib placed in front of the bed. Chen Chen was sleeping peacefully, her little face becoming even more beautiful. She thought that her daughter would surely grow up to be a lovely child.
For the sake of her daughter, did she really have to marry this man?
Lu Tianyang suddenly reached out and pulled her closer. "Stop overthinking and go to sleep," he said gently.
Ye Ya pouted slightly but didn’t say anything more; she closed her eyes again. After all, they had been restless all night, and she was indeed tired.
The next morning, when she woke up and saw the man beside her, Ye Ya's face instantly turned red. How did she end up in bed with him last night? She quickly rolled over and got out of bed, escaping into the bathroom.
Lu Tianyang thought to himself that he had behaved quite well last night and hadn’t offended her; he had only held her. Women’s thoughts were sometimes really hard to decipher.
At least he was sure that this woman didn’t dislike him that much; he was confident about that.
In the bathroom, Ye Ya looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a stranger. With her skills, how could she have allowed a man to hold her all night? She gently touched her face, realizing that this kind of situation could not happen again.
Love was a mysterious thing. If it were to occur between her and Lu Tianyang, it would be as if the sun rose from the west.
Moreover, for a woman, love was like a drug; she absolutely did not want to become that kind of woman.
But Ye Ya didn’t know that love often came unexpectedly, catching you off guard. It seeped into your bones without you realizing it, deeply rooting itself in your heart, making it impossible to sever ties.
If everyone were so rational when it came to feelings, then there would be no love in this world at all.
After freshening up, Ye Ya carried the baby to the sofa. The postpartum doula had already arrived and was changing the baby’s diaper. The little one opened her eyes and looked at Ye Ya with a hungry expression.
In addition to breastfeeding, Ye Ya also gave her a small amount of formula. Fortunately, the little one wasn’t picky about food. Thanks to the postpartum doula’s careful attention during this time, Ye Ya's milk supply had increased compared to before, enough to keep her daughter well-fed.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Tianyang went to work. The Lu Family had just been handed over to him, but Lu Tianyang had worked at the company for a while before going abroad, so now that he was in charge, the Lu Family was thriving under his leadership.
Having just come out of a senior management meeting, his secretary sent someone to inform him that Lu Jianming was already in the office.
Since taking over the Lu Family, his father had rarely involved himself in company matters. Arriving at the office this early, Lu Tianyang had a rough idea of what was on his father's mind.
“Dad, why are you here so early? Is there something you need?” Lu Tianyang asked as he brought a cup of tea to him and sat down beside him.
“I came today to hear how you’ve thought about what I mentioned last night,” Lu Jianming said directly. In the Lu Family company, no one dared to say no to him.
“Dad, no matter what, I’ve decided to marry Ye Ya. This is my decision,” Lu Tianyang declared boldly. He didn’t believe that his parents would truly disown her; after all, he was their only son.
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Jianming slammed his hand on the table, causing the cup of water that had just been set down to tremble slightly.
“Brat, do you even know what you’re saying? Do you understand what kind of woman you want to marry?” Lu Jianming felt frustrated that his own son could be so foolish.
“Dad, I’ve thought this through. I can’t let my woman and child be left out in the cold. Is this not what a man should do?” Lu Tianyang replied, baffled. Was saving face really that important? Moreover, he knew what kind of daughter Ye Ya was. She was still an innocent girl who hadn’t done anything wrong. Was it simply because she was the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Family? How could he allow his daughter to grow up in such an environment? Would that still make him a man?
“Fine, you’ve grown up now; I can’t control you anymore. But listen here, Lu Tianyang: if you decide to marry that woman, don’t expect to get another cent from the company,” Lu Jianming said angrily, his face turning red. He had even gone against his family for this woman.
“Alright, Dad. Whether or not I inherit the company, I will marry Ye Ya,” Lu Tianyang insisted firmly. He had never been so resolute about anything before; he believed he was right in this matter.
“You… You…” Lu Jianming was so furious that he clutched his chest, feeling as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
Lu Tianyang quickly helped him sit down. “Dad, are you alright? Calm down; don’t get too worked up.”
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Lu Tianyang hadn’t expected his father to faint. Knowing that his father had a heart condition, he immediately rushed him to the hospital.
The old man Lu and Du Huiru rushed over to see Lu Tianyang. The old man nearly swung his cane at him, exclaiming, "You little brat, how could you make your father end up in the hospital?"
"Grandpa, I didn't mean to," Lu Tianyang replied. It wasn't his intention to cause his father such distress.
"Lu Tianyang, if anything happens to your father, just ask yourself if you can live with that on your conscience. Everything we do is for your own good; why can't you understand our intentions?" Du Huiru scolded him while anxiously watching the red light above the emergency room.
That woman, Ye Ya, hadn't even married into the family yet and had already caused so much trouble. Such an ominous presence was like a harbinger of bad luck; how could they possibly let her through the door?
"Mom, let's talk about this later. Right now, the most important thing is Dad," Lu Tianyang said. Torn between Ye Ya and their child on one side and his father on the other, he had never felt such a difficult choice in life.
But solutions were meant to be found; he wouldn't give up on Ye Ya and their child because of this situation.
Two hours later, the doctor came out. Du Huiru nervously asked, "Doctor, how is my husband? Is he going to be okay?"
"Mr. Lu's heart is under too much strain; he shouldn't be subjected to any more stress. He needs to rest well and come back for regular check-ups. He should be fine," the doctor said. The hospital staff knew them well and were familiar with Lu Jianming's condition.
"Thank you, doctor," Lu Tianyang replied as he glanced at everyone. He knew he was in the wrong and couldn't afford to act stubbornly in this matter.
After they moved Lu Jianming into a hospital room, Du Huiru continued her tirade against Ye Ya. Listening to her was becoming tiresome for Lu Tianyang. He knew Ye Ya had a bit of a temper, but she wasn't as terrible as his mother made her out to be.
"Mom, can we please stop talking about this? Dad needs to rest," Lu Tianyang couldn't help but interrupt her. Perhaps if they spent more time with Ye Ya, they'd see what kind of person she really was and their attitudes would change.
In the afternoon, Lu Jianming finally woke up. The old man had already gone home. When Du Huiru saw him awake, she hurried over to him and said, "Darling, the doctor said that no matter what happens, you can't get too agitated; your health is what matters most."
"Dad, I'm sorry for making you angry," Lu Tianyang quickly apologized since it was indeed his actions that had landed his father in the hospital.
"Your father only wants what's best for you. Are you really going to promise not to marry that woman?" Seeing his son's sincere attitude, Lu Jianming felt there was little more to say.
In the current situation, Lu Tianyang could only nod in reassurance, as he certainly didn't want to upset his father further and risk a medical emergency.
"This is our good son! Mom will introduce you to some nice girls, I guarantee you'll like them," Du Huiru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mom, please don't keep pushing me on this. Dad, you need to rest well. The doctor said you must take care of yourself, so don’t worry about anything else," Lu Tianyang already knew that he wouldn't get their complete agreement on this matter. He could only find another way, though it might mean putting that woman in a difficult position.
After spending the day at the hospital with Lu Jianming, the doctor advised staying overnight for observation before discharge. During this time, Lu Tianyang's phone rang several times with business matters from the company.
Lu Jianming naturally understood and waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, your dad is fine. Go handle your business. But remember what you promised me; keep it in mind. Your mom can stay with me."
"Okay, Dad, I'm heading out now. I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning for your discharge," Lu Tianyang indeed returned to the company to deal with some urgent documents.
By the time he got back to Yiju Mountain Villa, it was already past one in the morning.
Ye Ya had just come out of the bathroom and was startled when she saw Lu Tianyang. "When did you come in? You were so quiet, like a ghost! You scared me!"
Before she could finish her sentence, the man suddenly pulled her into an embrace. Ye Ya stood frozen in place, wondering what had gotten into him this time.
