Chapter 3 Malnourished Sprouts

She sat quietly next to the bed and looked at the two of them. Tian En was so thin and looked like a malnourished sprouts, but was still very cute, especially those big watery eyes, which must have inherited from her.

And Tian Ci, only five years old now, she dared to swear, must be a handsome man enchanting to countless young girls after growing up. She was afraid that it had inherited from that man.

She couldn't help but think of that crazy night...

Six years ago.

She was just 20 years old that year. Just after attending the Vienna Music Festival, she returned on a luxury cruise all the way. The journey was very pleasant. The scenery along the way made her forget to return until the cruise was about to reach the Sea of Japan.

That night, people on the boat were all crazy, and she couldn't help but be infected by this jubilant atmosphere. At the thought of that the boat would arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow, and such a journey full of countless beautiful memories would come to an end, she was a little bit reluctant.

At that time, it was also autumn. Under the sky full of twinkling stars, she went to the deck with a glass of red wine, enjoying the soft night breeze gently blowing her face.

Her classmates watched her standing alone on the deck and pushed her in. "Yining, after arriving in Hong Kong, we can't have fun anymore. Let's go dancing. There are so many handsome guys on the ship..."

The twenty-year-old He Yining, like a blooming lily, exuded a charming youthful atmosphere. As soon as she entered the dance floor, her beautiful dance posture immediately attracted everyone's attention.

With long wavy hair and a knee-length white pleated skirt, she was just like an angle accidentally falling on the earth, so breathtakingly beautiful.

She may be so dazzling at that time that she had caused herself trouble.

When she got out of the dance floor, she began to feel something wrong and herself seeming to be burning, so she had to leave this lively banquet in advance. However, as for what happened later, she couldn't control herself.

Until the next morning, when she found herself lying in a strange room, on a strange bed and beside a strange man, she was so scared that her soul had almost disappeared from her body. She immediately escaped like a criminal, too hurry-scurry to see the man's face clearly. Just looking at him from his profile, it could be sure that he was a good-looking man.

Only when she exited the room did she realize that she had gone to the wrong room. The room number was correct, but this was the VIP Presidential Suite on the top floor while her room was on the second floor. At that time, she almost had the intention to die. Therefore, she had not waited for the ship to arrive in Hong Kong and disembarked in Japan in advance.

Unexpectedly, a series of things happened when she was away from home; her father's company went bankrupt overnight and even got into lawsuit. At that time, He Yining was worried about He Anguo who had a heart attack could probably never see his family again if he was sent to jail. However, Yiheng was only 18 years old. How could she let Yiheng go to prison?

Therefore, He Yining changed the legal person's name to her own name. In this way, He Yining could replace He Anguo to be sentenced to six years in prison for commercial fraud.

She even did not expect that the accident that night made her pregnant.

When she first entered in prison, there were more than thirty inmates in the same cell. The head woman was Liang Sisi to whon He Yining was too stubborn to submit. Therefore, she was almost tortured to death by Liang Sisi. She finally knew that the movie Prison on Fire was not made up. Life was like an outrageous drama shattering her original happy life to pieces.

Eventually, she could not bear the mental and physical torture of Liang Sisi and passed out during the morning exercising. And it was because of the examination that she knew she was pregnant.

She had always thought that her irregular menstruation was resulted from great stress and too much burdens recently. She had never expected that she was pregnant.

For the 20-year-old girl, a newcomer to the prison, it was undoubtedly a thunderstorm completely rewriting her future destiny.

She couldn't sleep for the whole night, staring at the ceiling while thinking all night. The child didn't come at the right time. If the child asked her after growing up in the future: Where is my father? She really couldn't answer. Children born in prison are destined to be looked down upon for life.

After all, He Yining decided to do a miscarriage. However, when she was lying on the cold iron bed and watching the prison doctor holding the tweezers, she suddenly regretted it. At the last moment, she decided to bear the baby in her belly who was innocent and had the right to live in this world.

Under the torture of Liang Sisi's gang, this child could still stay in her belly, which proves that he should not die. From then on, He Yining was so determined that she would give birth to this child no matter how much wrongs and hardships she would go through.

Only by surrendering and patience could she live in peace. Fortunately, the Warden Jiang Qiu noticed He Yining in the prison. Feeling pitiful for her, she transferred her away, so that the two children could finally survive.

In prison, the greatest ability He Yining had learned was tolerance.

Looking back on the past, He Yining just sighed gently. During these years in prison, she had learned to give in, to compromise; her dignity and pride, in front of the child, was not important at all. She has no other extravagant hope, only hoping these two children to grow up safe and sound and reunite with parents.

It wasn't late; she covered the quilt for the two children and gently went to bed.

Lying on the bed, she couldn't sleep anymore. Now that she had come out, her parents and Yiheng were still missing. In the future, she would have to rely on her own.

She turned over to see their sleeping faces. They were her heart. "Baby, rest assured, your mom will work hard. As long as I am alive, I will never let you starve. I will make you grow healthily... "

At the long night, the moon unknowingly rose from the hilltop and threw a silver glow on their bed through the half-covered window.

She had already developed the habit of waking up early in prison, as well as the two children. They would always open their eyes when dawn came.

"Mom, morning..."

Tian En got into her arms, like a kitten. He Yining stroked her fine hair gently. If Tian En could talk, she believed her voice must be the most dulcet sound in the world.

"En'en, wait for me. I will take you to see the best doctor." She kissed gently in her forehead, firmly believing that she would speak one day.

After a simple breakfast, He Yining thought of the old house before, wondering if her parents were still there.

It was a city village or a slum in this bustling metropolis. Most of the neighbors who lived here had moved away. Why would anyone still stay here?

He Yining didn't know anywhere else they could live, since she couldn't afford to rent a house. She should firstly settle the children down before she could go out to make money.

Heaven never shut the door on man.

When He Yining returned with his two children, it seemed to have been deserted for a long time, and her parents must have never returned here in these years.

This was what her dad earned with the first pot of gold that year. Although they moved to a new home afterwards, but they would often come back here to stay for a while, reminiscing about the past years they had spent together. For her parents, it bore special meanings.

"Tian Ci, En'en, here is our home from now on. Grandpa will come to find us here one day..." He Yining pointed to the shabby small yard in front of them and said. Shabby as It was, they finally had a place to shelter.

"En'en, trust me. I will one day make you live like a princess..."

Tian En smiled, with her mother and brother by her side, in fact she has always felt happy.

It took a whole day to finally clean up the house to make it look like a home. Fortunately, it was not discovered by those people at that time. Actually, in this city, who would care about this broken house?
