Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1330 - 1308: Slowly Growing Dependent

Chu Xinyue saw Xia Tingxuan stopping Dad on the phone, tilted her head and held the phone with her shoulder:

"Okay, Dad, you should be feeding the baby now, right? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."

She hung up the phone, escaping a crisis, and breathed a sigh of relief. After washing up and changing clothes, she walked out of the house as usual.

...

Over at the Chu Family, Chu Yanhan, who had the phone hung up on him, was quite unhappy. He said to his wife, who was nursing their son, "It’s just you and Jiayi, always speaking up for her. Since she came to Yunling, no matter what she does, you accommodate her. This girl has you and your daughter backing her, and she doesn’t listen to me anymore."

Xia Tingxuan pretended to be angry, "Alright, then I won’t care about anything in the future. You handle it all by yourself."

Chu Yanhan immediately came down with ’wife-management syndrome,’ softened his stance, walked over to pick up their soft and doughy son, and found a way out for himself:

"Hey little guy, look, your mom is angry now, give her a smile to cheer her up."

Being the son born late to the Chu Family, and the little uncle to the Huo Family’s young master and miss, the Chu Family younger brother is just over half a year old, but he has grown well. His chubby cheeks look like a meat bun, filled with fatty meat, very lovable. At this moment, it seems he understands his dad’s words and grins, giving his mom a bright smile.

Xia Tingxuan raised her hand and touched her son’s face, "Xinyue has suffered so much; it’s only right to give her some slack. She’s finally gotten through tough times and healed, so now if she wants to do something, just try to fulfill her wishes and let her do what she wants."

Chu Yanhan listened to his wife’s words and said nothing more. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Tingxuan is right, Xinyue has shown resilience; once she arrived in Yunling, it took less than two months to overcome her mental disorder, without causing much trouble for him and Jiayi.

But...

He frowned again.

After recovering, Xinyue never mentioned Ya Chen or the miscarriage, as if those people and events, which drove her mad, never existed.

In the months past, when Xinyue was still living with the Chu Family, there were several times the whole family watched TV together. When news related to pregnant women, childbirth, or miscarriage aired, Chu Yanhan and Xia Tingxuan feared she might get upset and wanted to change channels, yet they saw her as calm as still water, with no emotional ripples.

Initially, Chu Yanhan thought she was just forcing herself.

Gradually, he became puzzled, unable to discern whether she was pretending not to remember or if the illness had blurred certain painful memories.

Chu Yanhan initially thought of asking Dr. An.

But An Haokang politely declined using treatment confidentiality and patient privacy clauses.

No one knows a husband better than his wife. At this moment, Xia Tingxuan guessed what her husband was pondering and comforted, "Don’t overthink it. Being cured is already great. That child suffered a lot, so her current state isn’t bad."

Indeed, being cured is already great, and besides, isn’t it better to forget those unpleasant occurrences?

Chu Yanhan relaxed his expression and gently rocked the son in his arms.

"By the way, has Ya Chen returned to the country?" Xia Tingxuan asked.

"I just made a call back last week, not yet."

Half a year ago, right after Chu Yanhan brought the mentally distressed Xinyue back to China, soon news came that Ya Chen also left S Country and went to America.

It’s been several months now, and word has it that this son-in-law hasn’t returned to Nanga yet.

The reason for going to America wasn’t announced by the Ya Family.

However, as an heir to an empire, traveling to foreign countries to learn and interact with government officials to build connections is perfectly normal.

Chu Yanhan admits he has selfish motives.

Ya Chen hasn’t returned to the country, and Xinyue never mentioned returning to Nanga either, so he doesn’t wish to send the now-recovered Xinyue back to Nanga.

Even though she’s cured now, what if she encounters those people and events again and gets triggered?

Thus, even when the Ya Family occasionally calls to urge Xinyue to return to Nanga, he ambiguous, always saying Xinyue isn’t completely well yet, delaying as much as possible.

These past months, Xinyue has not mentioned anything regarding Ya Chen or the child, and he never proactively asks.

********

"Good Friend" magazine.

As a large magazine under China’s MK Group, Good Friend’s headquarters is located in the coastal major city of Yunling.

Chu Xinyue knows that, for a rookie like her with no industry experience, getting into Good Friend is entirely thanks to the Huo Family’s help.

The Huo Family has business dealings with MK Group, and Huo Zhenyang had his secretary give the MK higher-ups a heads-up so she could get in smoothly and soon become an assistant, helping the column editor manage a column.

Speaking of which, she chose to work at a magazine because of Mr. N’s suggestion.

A half month after treatment in China, Chu Xinyue encountered Mr. N online again.

Without mentioning what she was doing in China, fortunately, Mr. N, seeing she didn’t bring it up, was considerate and didn’t ask much.

She had no strong opinions on choosing a job, only wanting to pass time, so she mentioned it to Mr. N.

Mr. N suggested since she had managed a Weibo account quite well, she could try writing columns.

In a way, Weibo or blogs share commonalities with magazine or newspaper columns.

Without much thought, she settled on the job, and in a spiritual sense, Mr. N became like a life mentor to her, gradually relying on this stranger.

After joining Good Friend, she knew it was thanks to the Huo Family’s help, so she had to work even harder.

She was assigned to the emotional column. The column content includes handling the current emotional themes and interviewing celebrities about their lives.

Within half a month, she worked hard to learn various tasks, write drafts, edit drafts, proofread, and even followed her colleagues to interviews, quickly becoming adept.

Though exhausting, it was fulfilling.

Sometimes when she settled quietly, recalling the recent treatment made her completely unable to believe that not long ago, she suffered from a mental illness that nearly drove her to collapse.

***

This day, close to the end of work, the column editor, Sister Xu, came over to greet her:

"Xinyue, tomorrow morning, you head directly to the city auction house. There’s an auction in the morning; go and cover the news."

Since joining, Sister Xu has been Chu Xinyue’s direct superior. Although unaware of Xinyue’s specific relationship with the Huo Family, knowing the Huo Family’s young mistress also has the surname Chu, she figured Xinyue must be a relative. Hence, she carefully took care of her.

Chu Xinyue was taken aback, "Me? By myself? Sister Xu, aren’t you going?"

The previous times going on assignments, Sister Xu always accompanied her.

"I’ve accompanied you a few times, and you’ve become familiar, so try it on your own this time. Tomorrow, Xiaomeng will also be there, with her accompanying you, I’m assured."

Ye Meng is the deputy editor of this column, having joined Good Friend two years before Xinyue.

Though a bit nervous, Chu Xinyue nodded, then asked, "By the way, Sister Xu, what’s being auctioned at tomorrow’s auction?"
