Chapter 14: Luckily I Am Allergic

Su Wan retched so hard that tears came out.

But nothing came out.

Qin Lan, on the other hand, had a rare moment of panic. She quickly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her, asking with concern, “Child, what’s wrong? Could it be…”

Could she be pregnant?

Qin Lan was both excited and worried.

Su Wan tried her best to calm herself down. She took the tissue and wiped it before explaining, “I had an allergic reaction. Recently, my appetite hasn’t been good. I feel nauseous and dizzy, but I’ve already been to the hospital. I’ll be fine after the bumps subside in a couple of days.”

Su Wan was glad that she had an allergic reaction. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to smooth things over.

When Qin Lan heard this, she was disappointed for a moment. Then, a deep worry filled her heart. “You child, you’re sick and you still come out by yourself to buy presents. Come, let mom send you home. I’ll help you settle grandpa’s gifts.”

“How can that do? I’m fine. Mom, let’s just continue shopping,” Su Wan insisted. She did not want to stay at home alone.

However, it was hard for others to go against Qin Lan’s decision.

Under Qin Lan’s repeated urging, Su Wan had no choice but to give up. She was sent home by Qin Lan.

She didn’t expect Qin Lan to follow her into the house and even take care of her.

She had just poured a cup of hot water when Qin Lan came in. She sighed and said, “We’re all family. You’re still sick. Why are you still concerned for me? I am well-bodied. If I’m thirsty, I can pour myself some water.

Su Wan stubbornly held onto the cup of water. In her heart, she was extremely grateful to her mother-in-law. The image of Qin Lan standing up for her in front of Bai Lian and Jing Chen lingered in her mind for a long time. This kindness made Su Wan want to repay Qin Lan as much as she could.

Qin Lan smiled faintly. She took the cup from Su Wan’s hand and took a sip to moisten her throat. As soon as she opened her mouth, she struck Su Wan with a thunderclap!

“Su Wan, judging from your attitude, are you and Jing Chen are going to get a divorce soon?”

Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, she denied it. “How could that be? Mom, don’t worry. It was indeed a misunderstanding at the mall. Jing Chen…”

Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Qin Lan. Qin Lan pursed her lips into a smile and looked straight at her. Her eyes were filled with tolerance and understanding, as well as heartache. However, she said very calmly, “Su Wan, that woman is wearing the wedding ring your grandfather gave you. It’s a pair with Jing Chen’s.”

“I—”

“You want to say that it might be a coincidence that it’s exactly the same, right? Mom can believe that. If you can show me your wedding ring, then I’ll take it that my guess is completely false.” Qin Lan took a step back in order to advance, directly leaving Su Wan speechless.

How could she show her?

The silence was the best answer.

Qin Lan let out a deep sigh and put down the cup. Her warm hands gripped her hands tightly, warm and full of strength.

It was as if she was giving Su Wan strength and Su Wan’s flustered heart immediately calmed down.

Instead, Qin Lan smiled and said, “Child, don’t blame yourself. This is not your fault. Don’t feel pressured and don’t be sad. Jing Chen can’t divorce you just because he wants to. Grandpa will definitely not agree to it, even I won’t agree to it.”

“That woman called Bai Lian can’t even catch my eye. Do you think stands a chance in front of your grandfather?”

Su Wan lowered her head and didn’t say anything. She was already so moved that she was crying. Her tears were like beads that were falling down one after another.

The words “don’t blame yourself” and “don’t feel pressured” made Su Wan unable to hold it in anymore.

Su Wan wiped her tears away and replied with a smile, “Thank you, Mom, for comforting me. If we really don’t have any feelings for each other anymore, I hope Mom can understand us. The best ending for a marriage without love is divorce.”

As Qin Lan heard these words, the sincere and earnest words she spoke just now immediately turned into a grim expression.

Her gaze turned sharp. “Daughter-in-law, listen to me. Give Jing Chen a chance. You two have been loving for two years. It’s impossible that he has no feelings for you. I’m a woman too. I can tell that you like Jing Chen, right?”

Su Wan looked at Qin Lan and pretended to smile casually. “Yup, Mom is right!”

Qin Lan didn’t know what was going on between them. It was normal for Qin Lan to think this way after encountering such a situation. Only Su Wan knew in her heart that all of this was just a show put up by Jing Chen. Or was it because it was too late when she knew…

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so upset all this time…

“Mom, it’s going to be mealtime soon. What do you want to eat? The auntie will be here soon to cook.”
