Chapter 424: Hubby, This Is For You To Drink
Kong Lan was extremely furious. She scolded him. “Zhou Dayuan, do you know whose son you are? Marriage is such an important matter, and you didn’t even discuss it with us! We don’t agree to you marrying this woman, and we won’t let her step into the doors of the Zhou family!”
Zhou Dayuan had a frown on his face. His tone was calm and simple as he plainly said, “I only know I am someone’s husband right now. I am not negotiating with you all, but I am just merely informing you. We are also not interested in entering the main doors of the Zhou family. If you close the door, I will never bring her to knock.”
Kong Lan did almost vomited blood. Zhou Dayuan repeated the word, “we,” and he was very clear with his expression. He did not want the Zhou family anymore and also did not want his parents anymore. He only wanted this woman.
Zhou Dao went forward and said, “Dayuan, why are you speaking to your mum like this? Your mother is doing this for your own good…”
“Stop it.” At this moment, Zhou Heng interrupted them in their conversation, and he used the cane in his hand to hit the ground harshly. He had a fierce gaze as he scanned Kong Lan and came all the way onto Zhou Dao. “Such a good son and home is going to be ruined by you two! The main doors of the Zhou family. The main doors of the Zhou family! I am still not dead; I still have the final say in the Zhou family!”
“Yes, Dad, we…” Zhou Dao and Kong Lan quickly put on a smile to comfort him.
Zhou Heng did not listen to them at all. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jian Han. He sighed and said, “Young girl Jian, our Dayuan is completely smitten with you. These ten years, his grandma and I have seen it in our eyes. Other than you, he doesn’t want anyone else. Since Dayuan likes you, then I can also accept you. You are the granddaughter-in-law of our Zhou family. Nobody can change that fact.”
Jian Han turned her gaze sideways to look at Zhou Dayuan beside her. The man looked at her with a loving gaze in his eyes. She fluttered her eyelashes and curled her lips into a gentle smile, then softly said, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Okay, great child.” Zhou Heng answered her addressing him as “Grandpa.”
Hence, Zhou Dao and Kong Lan both froze, and their facial expressions looked horrible.
Lu Shaoming looked at the hospital ward. He took a step forward and said, “Grandma is in a coma right now. There is someone accompanying her in shifts. It is noon now, time for lunch. Everyone can go.”
“Okay.” Zhou Heng expressed his agreement.
Ning Qing held Yue Wanqing’s elbow and gently said, “Mum, let’s go home now.”
Yue Wanqing looked at the hospital ward as she shook her head. “Qingqing, I didn’t mean any harm, but I harmed someone unintentionally. The fact that Grandma is badly injured in the hospital right now is actually something that happened because of me. I don’t want to go home, and I want to stay here for a night to accompany Grandma.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Mum, you can stay behind, but we will go out for a meal first. After lunch, you can stay behind in the hospital to accompany Grandma.”
“Okay.” Yue Wanqing nodded her head.
Both mother and daughter waked forward, and Ning Qing held Jian Han’s small hand. “Older Sister Jian, let’s go then.”
Zhou Dayuan let go of Jian Han’s small hand and nodded his head towards her. Jian Han, Ning Qing, and her mother left.
Lu Shaoming and Zhou Dayuan bid farewell to Zhou Heng. “Grandpa, we will also leave.”
“Okay.”
The group of people left.
Zhou Dao and Kong Lan saw that this group of people, specifically their own son, leave without even saying farewell to them. It was obvious that he was treating them as transparent, and their faces were red with anger.
At this moment, Zhou Heng picked up a call, and walked towards the staircase.
There was only Tong Li and the family of three left in the corridor. Zhou Zhilei was worried and softly asked “Mum, that strand of hair…”
Kong Lan’s expression was calm as she said, “Zhilei, you don’t have to worry.”
Zhou Zhilei had other thoughts as she said, “Mum.” She went on her tiptoes to whisper something in Kong Lan’s ears…
Kong Lan nodded her head.
…
A group of people walked in the main lobby of the hospital. Ning Qing, Jian Han, and Yue Wanqing held hands as they walked in the front, and Lu Shaoming and Zhou Dayuan were walking behind them.
The two handsome men attracted gazes the entire way there, Lu Shaoming lifted his eyebrows up and had an easy smile on his face. “Dayuan, you got married really quickly.”
Zhou Dayuan looked at Jian Han in front of him. She was dressed in a clean white t-shirt today, matched together with a light blue overalls on the outside. The pants ended before her ankles and it exposed her snow white ankles. She had a pair of white flats, and she let her long hair flow down. Although her stomach had yet to show, she was already pampered by him and had a coy air to her.
His warm eyes were full of love. He did not answer but asked instead, “Could I actually have to wait for my son to be born to get married then?”
Lu Shaoming had a deeper smile on his face. They had known each other for many years, and it was still his first time that he has ever heard this man boast.
Son, marriage…
He placed more emphasis on these two words. If he was not boasting, what else could he be doing?
Lu Shaoming shrugged his shoulders and sincerely felt happy for his friend.
At this moment, Ning Qing was chattering happily in the front. She held Jian Han’s right hand as she looked at the wedding ring on her ring finger. She pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. “Older Sister Jian, how cold you so easily get married to Older Brother Dayuan? Did Older Brother Dayuan propose? Also, isn’t this diamond ring too small? He is so insincere.”
Jian Han’s face turned red. She secretly tugged Ning Qing’s sleeve as she softly and gently said, “Ning Qing, don’t speak nonsense. He, he…is very sincere…”
Ning Qing heard her words and said, “Aiyo,” immediately. She turned back to look at Zhou Dayuan with a smile on her face as she said, “Older Brother Dayuan, what spell did you give Older Sister Jian? A few days ago, you were so bad towards Older Sister Jian. We haven’t punished you properly yet, and now that you are married. Older Sister Jian doesn’t even allow me to say a single bad thing about you.”
Jian Han’s almond shaped face was like a big steamed prawn. She knew that Ning Qing was teasing her, and she should have not protected him when Ning Qing said that he was “insincere.”
But, she did not want Ning Qing to misunderstand him.
He really did have sincerity.
Last night, on her body, when he said those words, every single word was reverberating in her ears, and he gave everything that he possessed to her.
Jian Han turned back to look at Zhou Dayuan secretly. She only saw the man place his hands in his pockets, and there was a pampering smile on his lips as he smiled at her.
Jian Han’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly channelled her gaze elsewhere.
Her heart felt so sweet.
At this moment, Yue Wanqing said, “Qingqing, don’t make a fuss. So what about a diamond ring, and so what about a proposal? This is all just a formality! As long as you spend the days together well, everything else is not important. Doctor Jian, you are more than one month pregnant now, right? What have you been craving lately? I will make it for you. Thinking about it now, both you and Doctor Zhou do not have any elders by your side. Why not move in to stay with me for a few days? I can guarantee that I can fatten you up.”
Yue Wanqing was so passionate, and Jian Han planned to reject her diplomatically, but there was someone who did so quicker than her. Zhou Dayuan politely said, “Aunt, thank you for your good intentions, but there is no need to do so. I will take good care of her.”
“That’s right, Mum, Older Brother Dayuan is a doctor. He would definitely be better at taking care of a pregnant woman than you.” Ning Qing covered her mouth as she laughed.
Yue Wanqing gave a displeased look at her daughter, then looked at Lu Shaoming. “Doctor Zhou is a doctor, then is Shaoming also a doctor? When you were pregnant with Little Qin Wen, Shaoming was also unwilling to let you stay with me. I think that you are all just unwilling to part with one another!”
“Mum!” Ning Qing said coyly, meaning for her own mother to stop talking any further. This was way too embarrassing.
The entire group broke out in laughter.
…
The group walked out the main doors of the hospital. Ning Qing asked Jian Han, “Older Sister Jian, let us eat out at a restaurant today. What do you want to eat?”
The pregnant woman had first priority.
Jian Han looked at the row of restaurants on the opposite side of the road. She did not have much of an opinion, and she looked at Zhou Dayuan.
She did not know who was the one who laughed out loud. The person was probably laughing at her for asking his opinion even when selecting a restaurant to have a meal in.
Her earlobes were red. At this moment, her shoulders were pinned down, and she was enveloped in a pure and pleasant-smelling embrace. Zhou Dayuan pointed to a restaurant on the opposite side of the road as he said, “We will go to that one then. The flavours are clean and light.”
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming agreed and said, “Let’s go then.”
Zhou Dayuan said, “All of you go ahead first. Aunt, Ning Qing, what do you want to have? I will bring it over for you.”
Ning Qing did not understand what Zhou Dayuan meant. She questioned him feeling puzzled, “Older Brother Dayuan, we are about to eat lunch. What else do you want to eat?”
At this moment, Lu Shaoming gave her an expression with his eyes as he said, “You still do not know? There is a famous street selling snacks in front.”
Ning Qing understood what he meant in a moment; Older Brother Dayuan was bringing Older Sister Jian to buy snacks.
Ning Qing was instantly jealous.
Yue Wanqing laughed and said, “We don’t have anything that we want. Go and come back quickly. Snacks do not have much nutrition. Buy a few to curb your cravings, and that will be enough. Don’t eat too much!”
“Okay.” Zhou Dayuan had his arms around Jian Han’s waist, and they turned around and left.
Ning Qing looked at their shadow. She pouted her pink lips as she looked at the man beside her. “Hmph, did you see that or not? He is truly pampering his wife. The restaurant is already right in front of his eyes, but he is still bringing his wife to buy snacks. Older Sister Jian is already how old this year? Older Brother Dayuan is still pampering Older Sister Jian as a child.”
Lu Shaoming had three black lines running across his forehead, but he had a normal expression on his face. His deep gaze scanned her abdomen that was still flat, and he said, “Can you be compared to Jian Han?”
So much time had passed, and there was no movement from her belly.
Ning Qing understood his meaning in an instant, and she was at a loss for words. “…”
She was directly stumped.
…
Zhou Dayuan and Jian Han walked on the side of the streets. The man’s hand slowly slid down from her shoulders, and he cupped her soft waist. She was walking on the right hand side and was protected by him as she walked in the inner lane.
Jian Han lifted her gaze to look at him. In her gaze was his handsome jaw, and she coyly asked, “Hubby, what you bringing me to eat?”
Zhou Dayuan caressed her hair, smiled, and said, “Didn’t you want to drink sour plum juice?”
Jian Han was taken aback, and she asked, “How did you know?”
“Just now when we were driving towards the hospital, I saw you perched at the window, looking in this direction.”
Jian Han’s face turned red. It turned out that he did notice.
She was a little embarrassed.
At this moment, the man bent over, and kissed her small, white face. “Just now, I was worried about Grandma so I did not stop the car to buy it for you. It is an unavoidable matter to meet my parents in the hospital. You do not have to care about their attitude, it is all fine as long as you have me.”
Jian Han’s heart was full of emotions. Actually, he did not have to explain. She understood all of it.
He did not bear for her to be wronged.
“Okay.” Jian Han lifted her head. Courtesy demands reciprocity. She also went on her tiptoes as she kissed his handsome cheek. “Hubby, I believe that grandma will wake up very soon; you don’t have to be too worried.”
Her taking the initiative made Zhou Dayuan curl the corners of his lips up. He pulled her into his embrace with much force.
He bought the sour plum juice very quickly. Zhou Dayuan placed the straw into the cup and handed to her. “It is cold; do not drink too much of it.”
“Oh.” Jian Han nodded her head obediently.
He was a doctor. Actually, it was the hardest to be a family member of a doctor, because as a doctor, he knew that the sour plum juice sold on the streets and cold drinks were bad for a pregnant woman and her baby, but he pampered her. He tried hard to allow her to be more comfortable within the limits of her health.
Jian Han understood that, so she did not take the initiative to ask for it in the car just now. Even though she wanted some, she did not say so.
Now that he got got her smoe, she drank a few mouthfuls as she handed it over to the side of his lips. She had a gentle smile on her lips as she said, “Hubby, this is for you to drink.”
