1196 What Are You Trying to Do Again?
Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Bai Zhou’s heart seemed to have been struck by an invisible force, causing him to pull himself together.
He slowly raised his head and looked into Jian Ai’s eyes with his gaze. He smiled.
This smile was like a blooming epiphyllum under the night sky, making Bai Zhou’s entire body brighten. It was as if he had released infinite vitality, making people feel at ease.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but reveal a comfortable and warm smile. Through Bai Zhou’s smile, she could feel that her words seemed to have some effect on him, allowing him to be and carefree at least for the moment. At least, it allowed him to understand that even if the sky collapsed, she was still by his side!
…
Late at night, at Wang Yunzhong’s house!
Ever since Wang Zichen moved to Jiang Chunfen’s place, Wang Yunzhong’s family entered a short period of peace. The old lady went to Zhonglou District during the day to help Wang Yunfa take care of the vegetable stall. The old man was happy and relaxed, and he usually drank tea.
Wang Yunzhong was busy with the company. After Xu Qianqian got pregnant, he hired a nanny to serve her at home. The family had their own things and positions, so it was peaceful.
However, they had only been married for more than a month. Because of her pregnancy, Xu Qianqian gradually became bloated, and her complexion was not as good as before. Now, under the old lady’s nose, she could not put on makeup when she was pregnant.
As a result, Wang Yunzhong had to face his wife, who had gained weight at a visible speed every day and was bare-faced. In just over a month, he had already developed some negative emotions in his heart.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, as long as she was pregnant, it would greatly reduce her beauty.
At this moment, Wang Yunzhong was sitting on the sofa in the living room and drinking tea. These days, he always waited until Xu Qianqian fell asleep before going upstairs to sleep. Pregnant women were sensitive and easily angry. In addition, Xu Qianqian was a delicate person.
In the past, when he saw her pleasing appearance, Wang Yunzhong will endure it and coax her, but now…
At this moment, the old lady came downstairs with an empty cup. Seeing that Wang Yunzhong was still drinking tea, she couldn’t help but say, “Drink fewer tea leaves. Aren’t you going to sleep tonight?”
Wang Yunzhong looked up but didn’t answer the old lady. He only asked, “Qianqian is asleep?”
“She just drank hot milk. She’s lying down now,” the old lady said and walked forward to pick up the tea set in front of Wang Yunzhong. “Don’t drink tea. I’ll heat a glass of milk for you too. You can sleep better at night. I see you haven’t been resting well recently. You’re still confused when you wake up at eight in the morning.”
“Don’t be busy, Mom.” Wang Yunzhong quickly stopped her and stood up. “I’m going to Zichen’s room to sleep today. Qianqian is pregnant, so she’s a light sleeper. I didn’t even dare to turn around, so I couldn’t sleep well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yunzhong wanted to go upstairs, but the old lady stopped him. “Wait a moment. Mom has something to tell you.”
Wang Yunzhong’s expression froze, and he said unhappily, “Can’t we talk tomorrow morning? I’m tired!”
“No!” The old lady put down the tea set in her hand and pushed Wang Yunzhong back to the sofa. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “I said nothing tonight because of Qianqian. Coincidentally, there’s no one now. Mom has to say it!”
Seeing the old lady’s mysterious appearance, Wang Yunzhong subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? What do you want to do again?”
“Tsk!” The old lady clicked her tongue unhappily and looked at Wang Yunzhong. “What else can I do? It must be something important and useful!”
As she spoke, the old lady sat down beside Wang Yunzhong and continued to lower her voice. “Don’t you have a classmate working at the women and children’s hospital?”
Wang Yunzhong was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect the old lady to remember this.
He nodded gently. “Yes, what’s wrong? Are you sick? Or is it my father?”
“No one is sick!” The old lady quickly said, “I wanted to ask, don’t you plan to bring Qianqian there to check and see if the child in her stomach is a boy or a girl?”
“Mom!” When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he immediately widened his eyes. “What are you thinking? It’s illegal for the hospital to distinguish the gender of a fetus. Don’t cause trouble for me!”
He knew that the old lady was up to no good by being so sneaky. Although he also hoped to have a son, he had never thought of going to the hospital to appraise the child’s gender. This was because Chinese laws explicitly prohibited such behavior to prevent the child’s parents from aborting the fetus because of some old-fashioned concepts after knowing the fetus’ gender.
However, the old lady said indifferently, “That’s why I asked you to find that classmate of yours for help. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl in Qianqian’s stomach. I don’t feel at ease!”
“What? If it was a girl, would you let Qianqian abort it?” Wang Yunzhong said coldly, “She’s been pregnant for three months. Do you want her to die?”
“I’m not asking her to abort it!” The old lady panicked. “I just wanted to know if he was a grandson sooner!”
Wang Yunzhong sighed impatiently and waved his hand at the old lady impatiently. “Stop thinking about these useless things. If he’s a grandson, he can’t become a granddaughter, and vice versa. Let’s leave it to fate!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yunzhong stood up. Although everything at home was orderly and there were no conflicts, he felt inexplicably irritated when he thought of these trivial matters.
This had never happened when he was with Jiang Chunfen. This was because Jiang Chunfen would take care of the family in an orderly manner. Even if something happened to the elderly, it would not reach him because Jiang Chunfen would stand in front of him and help him resolve it.
But now, he had to worry about everything. Just thinking about it made him tired.
Seeing that her son was not in a good mood, the old lady couldn’t bear to nag at him anymore. She only instructed, “I’ve stuffed the blanket in Zichen’s room into the cabinet. Take it yourself.”
Wang Yunzhong nodded and picked up the cigarette and lighter on the table. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he stopped in his tracks. “Mom, is Xiao Mei’s birthday in December?”
When Wang Yunmei was suddenly mentioned, the old lady’s expression couldn’t help but pause. “Why are you asking about this?”
Wang Yunzhong said, “I vaguely remember that Xiao Mei’s birthday seems to be quite close to Christmas!”
“I know nothing about this or that festival. I don’t know!” The old lady was unwilling to mention anything about Wang Yunmei now. It was best if no one mentioned it. Once she did, she would get angry.
However, Wang Yunzhong didn’t relent and asked, “Think about it. Which day in December is it?!”
“Why? You want to celebrate her birthday?” The old lady glared at him. “You’re a brother. How can you celebrate your sister’s birthday?!”
