The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 314 Your Granddaughter

On the lush green lawn, a woman sat in a wheelchair, gazing quietly into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, a little girl in a pink dress ran over and stopped in front of her.

The two, one big and one small, stared at each other for a long while before the woman suddenly laughed.

"Where did you come from, little girl?"

"She looks a lot like my daughter."

Lin Qing smiled softly, her gaze towards Niannian seeming to yearn for someone else.

"Grandma, I'm your granddaughter."

Year after year, recalling the words Lin Ran had taught her, she spoke in a childish voice, and before Lin Qing could react, she threw herself into her arms.

Lin Qing froze almost instantly, her slender body trembling slightly as she looked down at Niannian.

"What did you just say? What are you to me?"

Her condition must have worsened again, otherwise why would she hear this little girl say that she is her granddaughter?

"My name is Lin Niannian, my mommy is Lin Ran, my daddy is Xiao Jingchen, and you are my grandma. Niannian is right!"

Seeing that Lin Qing didn't believe him, the little guy shook his head and repeated it.

Lin Qing couldn't believe it, but how could such a young girl lie?

"mom."

Before Lin Qing could ask any more questions, a voice she had been longing for rang out.

She slowly raised her head, looked at Lin Ran who had changed so much, opened her mouth, and tears immediately fell down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I haven't been able to come see you in so long. I'm such an unfilial son."

Lin Ran's voice was full of guilt as she buried her face in Lin Qing's lap and wept.

"Alright, alright, you silly girl, something must have been holding you up. Mom knows all about it."

"Stop crying. You're a mother now, why are you still acting like a child?"

Lin Qing reached out and gently patted Lin Ran's back, her tone exactly the same as when they were children. After a pause, she seemed to remember something and chuckled softly.

"But you can cry as long as you want in front of your mother, you'll always be her child."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ran's tears fell even more profusely.

Lin Niannian stood there blankly, her tuft of hair on her head swaying in the wind.

"Mommy, Grandma, why aren't you playing with Niannian?"

The soft voice brought Lin Ran back to her senses, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, there was no one else around at the moment.

"Niannian, right? She's so cute, just like your mother when she was little."

"Really? Mommy was this cute when she was little!"

Lin Ran smiled upon hearing this, but then realized something was amiss.

As cute as her? This child is probably praising herself.

Realizing this, Lin Ran looked at Lin Niannian with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

But the little guy was completely unaware of anything, and excitedly pulled out his smartwatch, found a photo of himself and Sui Sui, and held it up.

"Grandma, who do you think is cuter, me or my brother?"

"elder brother?"

Lin Qing was stunned again, and her pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the photo in Lin Niannian's hand.

"Ranran, what's wrong with this little guy?"

Lin Ran pursed her lips, feigning nonchalance.

"It's just a minor problem, Mom, don't worry, he'll be fine soon."

Lin Qing nodded, her eyes still filled with worry.

Fortunately, Niannian was there, so she wasn't sad for long and was soon amused by the little girl.

Lin Ran originally planned to stay here for two or three days before leaving, but Xiao Jingchen's current condition made it unsuitable for him to leave, so she had to extend the stay.

A week later, Xiao Jingchen had almost fully recovered.

"You don't need to come with me."

Lin Ran looked at Xiao Jingchen, whose face was still somewhat pale, and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Xiao Jingchen said nonchalantly.

Please, how could he just give up such a chance to please his mother-in-law?

Thinking this, Xiao Jingchen quickened his pace considerably.

In the ward, Lin Qing looked at Xiao Jingchen with some surprise.

Her son-in-law seems much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Last time, although Lin Ran tried her best to show that the two of them were very loving, the distance between them could not be ignored. But now it's different.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes were full of love as he looked at Lin Ran.

Just like how she once looked at Ye Minghua.

Thinking of Ye Minghua, Lin Qing felt a slight pang of pain in her heart, and her face visibly paled.

"mom?"

Lin Ran stared blankly as Lin Qing fainted. Nurses rushed in to perform resuscitation, their practiced movements clearly indicating that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Even while unconscious, Lin Qing's brows were tightly furrowed, clearly indicating that she was in great pain.

Lin Ran gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling with cold.

The next second, a warm embrace pulled her into a hug, and her hands were held tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Mom will be alright."

Lin Ran's panicked heart was inexplicably calmed down, and she didn't even notice that there was anything wrong with Xiao Jingchen's way of addressing her.

Lin Ran was relieved to see that Lin Qing's breathing had returned to normal and followed the doctor to the office.

“Ms. Lin, although your mother’s health has improved, she was severely depleted before and can only recover slowly.”

"But she must remain calm, otherwise, situations like today will happen again."

Lin Ran nodded, paused, then seemed to remember something and spoke with some hesitation.

"Doctor, does my mother's condition seem like something that could happen naturally?"

This was a very pointed question, and as a doctor, he couldn't give a definite answer. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Ms. Lin, I can only tell you that the chances of it happening naturally are very small, but it's not impossible."

"If you could find the medication your aunt was taking before, perhaps I could be more certain."

Lin Ran took a deep breath and nodded.

She did get the medicine before; if she could find one packet, she should be able to find a second one.

She will not let go of either her nominal father or Wang Mei.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. She thanked the doctor and said goodbye to Lin Qing after she woke up.

Lin Qing held Niannian's little hand with a reluctant expression.

"Oh, this little girl, you must remember to come and visit your grandma in the future."

Lin Ran could see her reluctance, but remembering what she had to do, she still hardened her heart and left.

"Mom, the doctor said you're almost fully recovered. You should take good care of yourself for a while longer. I'll be counting on you to take care of the baby in a while."

"Okay, no problem."

These words eased Lin Qing's sadness and even gave her a bit more motivation.

She needs to get better so she can take care of her grandson and granddaughter.
