After dinner, Tang Yulan went back to Orchid Gardens first.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Yicheng asked Luo Xiaoxi, âShall we go back too?â
âItâs still early!â Luo Xiaoxi suddenly got excited and said while rubbing her hands, âWe hardly get together. How about playing cards?â
Considering that Luo Xiaoxi needed to hit the sheets early, plus the fact that Shen Yuechuanâs health condition did not allow it, Su Yicheng secretly gave Su Jianâan a hint to reject Luo Xiaoxi. He persuaded Luo Xiaoxi, âIf you want to play cards, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. How about going back to rest now?â
Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng leisurely, without saying yes or no. There was no obvious emotion on her delicate and beautiful face.
After having a baby, Luo Xiaoxi had such a disposition. She was moody and unpredictable. Su Yicheng had no choice but to coax her.
âItâs only eight oâclock, and itâs still early.â Luo Xiaoxi said stubbornly, âHow about we play for just two hours?â
Although she just asked for two hours, Su Yicheng could not guarantee that she would not insist on playing after two hours.
âFor the baby in your belly, 8 oâclock is not early.â Su Yicheng pointed to Xiangyi and Xiyu. âLook, theyâre all asleep.â
In order to make Su Yichengâs words more convincing, Su Jianâan asked Aunt Liu to take the two little guys back to the childrenâs room. Luo Xiaoxi finally did not know how to refute.
Su Yicheng offered his hand to Luo Xiaoxi. âLetâs go home.â
She jumped up indignantly and said, âYou carry me!â
Without permitting her to play cards, if he didnât even agree to the latter request, Luo Xiaoxi was very likely to become an angry little monster.
Su Yicheng compromised and prepared to carry her on his back. âCome on.â
However, Luo Xiaoxi did not climb onto his back. She laughed and took his hand. âIâm just kidding! Letâs go home!â
Su Yicheng was speechless.
Xiao Yunyun rested her chin on her left hand and saw them off. She couldnât help sighing. âItâs really hard to imagine.â
Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows. âImagine what?â
Xiao Yunyun said, âIt seems that my cousin is the one who took the initiative. I canât imagine that my cousin-in-law kept pursuing my cousin for almost ten years.â
Shen Yuechuan smiled.
Xiao Yunyun probably didnât know that since they got married, Su Yicheng had become a âwife freakâ. After Luo Xiaoxi was pregnant, Su Yicheng was more obedient to her. People who didnât know the road to their marriage generally didnât believe that Luo Xiaoxi had pursued Su Yicheng for ten years.
At this time, Aunt Liu suddenly came down and said that Xiyu had suddenly woken up and refused to sleep no matter how hard she coaxed her. She asked Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan to go up and have a look.
âYou go upstairs,â Shen Yuechuan said, âand Iâm leaving with Yunyun.â
âBe careful on the way back.â
After that, Lu Boyan held Su Jianâanâs hand and went straight upstairs.
Xiao Yunyun stood up with the help of the armrest of the sofa. Shen Yuechuan was about to hold her, but she just held Shen Yuechuanâs hand and said, âI want to try walking.â
After sitting in a wheelchair, she realized how precious it was to walk on her feet freely.
Now, in order to get rid of the wheelchair as soon as possible, she wanted to seize all the opportunities to practice walking.
Only when her feet regained the ability to walk could she carry out her plan!
Shen Yuechuan didnât know Xiao Yunyunâs secret plan, but he didnât stop her. He just told her, âBe careful. Donât force yourself.â
When she managed to walk to the door, there was already a thin layer of sweat on Xiao Yunyunâs forehead.
She couldnât hold on any longer. She looked at Shen Yuechuan pitifully and said, âI canât do it anymore. You pick me up.â
Shen Yuechuan held her instead of picking her up and said leisurely, âMiss Xiao, since you ask me for help, you should show your sincerity.â
Xiao Yunyun put her arms around Shen Yuechuanâs neck and pretended to be fierce. âCousin and Cousin-in-law are upstairs. Believe it or not, Iâll tell them that you bullied me.â
Shen Yuechuan found it difficult to deal with either of them, let alone both.
Shen Yuechuan picked her up, ambled through the garden, and walked to the door.
Xiao Yunyun raised the corners of her lips, and the smile reached her eyes. She suddenly kissed Shen Yuechuan hard on the cheek. âShen Yuechuan, youâre a fool.â
But she said so in a satisfied tone.
Shen Yuechuan lowered his head and took a bite of Xiao Yunyunâs lips with love and hatred as if he wanted to bite the happiness on her lips at the moment.
Xiao Yunyun nestled in Shen Yuechuanâs arms and inadvertently glanced at the second floor. She saw Su Jianâan standing in front of the window and looking at them with a slight smile.
It was obvious that Su Jianâan had seen her secretly kiss Shen Yuechuan and the latter bite her.
Xiao Yunyun felt guilty and subconsciously buried her face in Shen Yuechuanâs arms. âCousin is upstairs.â
âDonât worry.â Shen Yuechuan said indifferently, âShe went too far when she was with Boyan.â
Xiao Yunyun thought for a while and said, âActually, I envy Cousin and Cousin-in-law very much.â
Shen Yuechuan glanced at her and raised his eyebrows. âWhat do you envy about them?â
âThey have a tacit understanding and trust each other!â Xiao Yunyun said, âYou should remember Xia Mili more clearly than me, right? My cousin received photos when she was having Xiyu and Xiangyi in her belly, but she didnât mention it or make a fuss. Because she believed in my cousin-in-law. I canât imagine how much she trusts Cousin-in-law to remain so calm in adversities.â
Shen Yuechuan replied in agreement with a âhmmâ.
He couldnât deny it at all.
âBy the way,â Xiao Yunyun suddenly remembered something and asked, âhow is Xia Mili now?â
âThe photos of her entering the hotel with Boyan did not cause a misunderstanding between Jianâan and Boyan, and the truth soon came out. She had to admit that she was just an ordinary classmate of Boyan, and now there are still people making fun of her.â Shen Yuechuan asked the little girl in his arms, âAre you satisfied with this answer?â
Xiao Yunyun smiled and nodded hard. âYeah! As long as the results are beneficial to my cousin, Iâll be satisfied!â
Thatâs right. She was always so protective of her own cousin!
Shen Yuechuan smiled helplessly and put Xiao Yunyun on the back seat of the car. Then he got in the car from the other side and asked the driver to drive them home.
When they got home, Shen Yuechuan carried Xiao Yunyun to the sofa and kissed her on the forehead. âIâll prepare a bath for you.â
âWait a minute.â Xiao Yunyun grabbed Shen Yuechuanâs clothes and said solemnly, âI have something to tell you.â
She seemed to have considered it for a long while.
Shen Yuechuan squatted down in front of her with interest and said, âWell, go ahead.â
Xiao Yunyunâs almond-shaped eyes sparkled with expectation. âIn the future, can we always trust each other no matter what happens, just like Cousin and Cousin-in-law?â
âFool.â Shen Yuechuan stroked Xiao Yunyunâs hair and smiled helplessly. âWe will have different stories.â
Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Shen Yuechuan didnât say anything. He contained Xiao Yunyunâs lips, opened her teeth with the tip of his tongue, and deeply absorbed her sweetness.
There were many happy people in this world, and everyone was different from each other.
Why did they have to follow suit?
They would have their own happiness.
They had been together for a month. Thanks to Shen Yuechuanâs personal teaching, Xiao Yunyun had already grasped some kissing skills. She wrapped her arms around Shen Yuechuanâs waist and responded to him unhurriedly.
Well, she seemed to understand what Shen Yuechuan had meant.
It wasnât until Xiao Yunyunâs cheeks turned red and she could hardly breathe that Shen Yuechuan let go of her.
She looked at Shen Yuechuan with a smile. âYou just promised me one thing.â
Shen Yuechuan really couldnât remember. He raised his eyebrows and asked, âWhat is it?â
âYou said that we would have our own happiness.â Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and said, âDoesnât that mean that youâve promised me happiness?â
Shen Yuechuan laughed and rubbed her hair. âYeah, Iâve promised you.â
âWell, you donât have to put in a lot of effort.â Xiao Yunyun excitedly gestured. âFor me, being with you is the greatest happiness.â
Something flashed across Shen Yuechuanâs eyes. It disappeared in a flash, so Xiao Yunyun didnât have time to see it.
He kissed Xiao Yunyun and said, âIâll run a bath for you.â
Xiao Yunyun nodded and looked at Shen Yuechuanâs back with a look of happiness in her eyes.
She hoped that her life could go on like this!
At noon the next day, the doorbell rang on time. Xiao Yunyun knew it was Song Jiqing, so she opened the door for him with the remote control.
Sure enough, the person who came in was Song Jiqing. However, after seeing the things in his hand, Xiao Yunyunâs face changed dramatically...
Xiao Yunyun kept shrinking to the corner of the sofa. âDr. Song, what... is in your hand?â
âYour medicine.â Song Jiqing said, âIâve seen the X-ray you took yesterday. Youâre recovering very well. Itâs time for you to take the medicine again.â
Xiao Yunyunâs face wrinkled into a ball in pain. âNo...â
Song Jiqing put down the medicine and took out his phone. âShould I call Yuechuan?â
âNo, no!â Xiao Yunyun quickly waved her hand and picked up the bowl of black medicine. âShen Yuechuan should be very busy. Donât bother to disturb him.â
On ordinary days, her trivial affairs had already been troublesome enough for Shen Yuechuan. Shen Yuechuan didnât have to worry about such an insignificant thing as taking medicine.
Song Jiqing took back his mobile phone and gave Xiao Yunyun a small bag of plums. âIt will mitigate the bitterness. Drink it.â
Xiao Yunyun picked up the medicine but didnât drink it. Instead, she raised her head and negotiated with Song Jiqing. âDoctor Song, if I finish the medicine, you have to promise me one thing.â
Song Jiqing nodded. âYou drink it first.â
Xiao Yunyun held her breath, closed her eyes, and drank the bowl of medicine.
Putting down the bowl, she hurriedly ate two plums and finally suppressed the bitter and puckery taste in her mouth. Without drinking water, she couldnât wait to say, âDoctor Song, can you hide my health condition for me?â
Song Jiqing adjusted the frame of his glasses in confusion. âWho do you want to hide it from? How can I hide it?â
âHelp me hide it from Shen Yuechuan.â Xiao Yunyun said, âIâm going to completely recover soon. Help me tell a lie to Shen Yuechuan that I wonât recover so soon.â
Song Jiqing became even more confused. âWhy?â
He adjusted her medicine so that Xiao Yunyun would recover faster. It was obviously good news, but why didnât Xiao Yunyun want Shen Yuechuan to know?
If it were someone else, Song Jiqing might suspect that the little girl probably wanted her boyfriend to care more about her.
But it was Xiao Yunyun. Even if she had such an idea, she couldnât be bothered to do it.
If Shen Yuechuan didnât care enough about her, Xiao Yunyun, who didnât know how to beat around the bush at all, would directly protest.
Vaguely, Song Xiaoqing felt the same as Su JianâanâXiao Yunyun was going to saying something very important.
