"Chenran..." Lin Xiaodou looked at Jian Chenrann, who was obviously not in a high mood. She bit her lips and said, "How about, you still..."
"Or what?" Jian Chenrann interrupted her and sat by the bed, holding her hand, "Don't tell me you want me to help Haixi with this kind of thing again?"
"I..." Lin Xiaodou said guiltily, "But you are not happy, right? I can see that you are very worried about Haixi."
"I am indeed very worried about Haixi and the children." Jian Chenrann smiled and said," But I also know that once you make a choice, you cannot regret it anymore. To me, you and our children are just as important as Haixi. Haixi has Ning Jiwei's protection, Qin Zhixu, and Dou Family. She will be fine. But you only have me, so I won't leave you."
" Chenran... " Lin Xiaodou leaned into Jian Chenrann's arms and said with slightly sour eyes, "It is all my fault that you are in such a dilemma."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jian Chenrann gently patted her shoulder and coaxed, "You have already helped me give birth, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, I only made a choice. It is not a dilemma. "
Lin Xiaodou did not say anything and just leaned into Jian Chenrann's arms, feeling the sense of security this man gave her.
"Alright." Jian Chenrann pinched the tip of her nose and said, "As expected, after having a baby, you have become a lot more worried and sad."
Lin Xiaodou sniffed and said, "Then it is not my fault. If I have to blame it, it is also the one in my stomach."
Jian Chenrann touched Lin Xiaodou's stomach in amusement and said teasingly, "When you heard that there is no treasure, you can't make a fuss anymore. When you go back, your mommy will still be your father when she cries."
"Go to hell ~" Lin Xiaodou cast a sidelong glance at him and reached out to hit his shoulder.
Jian Chenrann smiled and hugged her pink fist. "You wait for a while. I'll get you some hot water to soak your feet."
"Okay." Lin Xiaodou nodded. She felt a sense of happiness from the bottom of her heart when she saw Jian Chenrann leave with a bowl of hot water.
After the door to the ward was closed, Lin Xiaodou thought for a while and took out her phone to call Jian Haixi.
On the other end of the phone, Jian Haixi was sitting on the bed, eating the fruits Ning Jiwei fed her from time to time.
There was a wound on her shoulder and lying down would affect the wound. Her stomach was also punched by Suen Ping, and the wound on her face was also serious, so she could not lie down.
So during the day, she basically sat on the bed and waited until the night before reluctantly lying down to sleep.
Ning Jiwei would look at her almost every half an hour of the night. If he found that her posture was not comfortable, he would help her adjust it.
Jian Haixi was a little surprised when she received Lin Xiaodou's call.
Since the last time they talked, they had not contacted each other much.
Jian Haixi looked at Ning Jiwei and picked up the phone. " Hello? Xiaodou, what's wrong?"
"Haixi..." Lin Xiaodou hesitated and said," I'm fine. I'm just asking how you are recently. "
Jian Haixi blinked and turned to look at Ning Jiwei.
Could it be that Jian Chenrann and Lin Xiaodou also knew about this?
Ning Jiwei shook his head and said quietly, "They probably don't know."
Jian Haixi thought about it and agreed. If Jian Chenrann knew about this news, he would have already called her. How could he still calmly let Lin Xiaodou test her first?
After thinking about this, Jian Haixi was more confident. She smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine. It's good."
It was pretty good...
Yun Ling also said so.
Lin Xiaodou bit her lips, "Haixi, are you really quite good? You didn't lie to me?"
"Er..." Jian Haixi made her feel a little guilty when she asked. Coincidentally, Ning Jiwei threw a piece of orange at her. Jian Haixi swallowed the orange and chewed it while saying vaguely, "It's... It's pretty good."
Lin Xiaodou did not hear Jian Haixi's guilt-ridden and only said, "Haixi, if you are really quite good, can you... give Chenran a call?"
"Ah?" Jian Haixi was stunned for a moment, "What happened to my brother?"
"No, he's fine. We're all fine." Lin Xiaodou sighed and said, "It's just that Chenran misses you very much. Although he didn't say anything, I can see that he's very worried about you and the children."
"Oh," Jian Haixi chewed on another piece of orange and said, "Sure. I will call him later."
"Ah, thank you, Haixi." Lin Xiaodou said.
"What are you thanking me for? You are asking for a beating again, aren't you?" Jian Haixi pretended to be angry and said.
"Pffft ~" Lin Xiaodou laughed out loud. She felt that because of Jian Haixi's words, the gap between the two of them had been reduced by quite a bit.
- -
Jian Chenrann did not know that Lin Xiaodou was calling Jian Haixi. He walked to the end of the corridor and was about to pick up the hot water when he suddenly saw a figure flash by the staircase.
Jian Chenrann's eyes narrowed. He threw the basin and chased after her.
"Stop!" Jian Chenrann shouted.
The figure was blocked by Jian Chenrann at the staircase and smiled awkwardly.
Jian Chenrann looked up and down at the man and asked coldly, "Who are you? Why are you always following us?"
Yes, this was not the first time this middle-aged man had appeared beside Jian Chenrann.
A long time ago, Jian Chenrann had told Jian Haixi and Ning Jiwei that there was a middle-aged man following him.
However, he did not find out the identity of this man later on. Plus, this man had disappeared after a period of time, so Jian Chenrann did not take it to heart.
He did not expect that the middle-aged man would appear again recently and even follow him to the hospital.
Jian Chenrann met him several times, but before he could chase after him, the man ran away.
Today, he had finally stopped this person. Jian Chenrann would not let him run away again no matter what.
Seeing that the middle-aged man did not speak, Jian Chenrann snorted coldly and took out his phone to call the police.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't call the police. Don't call the police." The middle-aged man quickly said, "I'm not a bad person. I have no ill intentions towards you."
Jian Chenrann looked at him. "Then who are you?"
"I..." The middle-aged man paused and sighed. "Actually, you should call me uncle."
Jian Chenrann looked at him and remained silent for two seconds before continuing to call the police.
"Uncle? I'm still my uncle!"
"Aiya, I'm really your uncle!" The middle-aged man said, "Your uncle is at home."
Jian Chenrann obviously did not believe his nonsense. The call to the police had been picked up. Just as Jian Chenrann was about to speak, he heard the middle-aged man say, "Is your mother's name Qiao Sui?"
Jian Chenrann was stunned. He looked at the middle-aged man. "How do you know?"
The middle-aged man pointed at the phone on the phone and said, "You hang up first."
Jian Chenrann hesitated and hung up.
"Tell me, who are you? What is your purpose in getting close to me?" Jian Chenrann asked coldly.
The middle-aged man said, "My name is Qiao Jing."
Qiao...
Jian Chenrann's face darkened. He stared at Qiao Jing and asked, "How do I know what you said is true? And why did you come to me?"
Qiao Jing smiled and looked at Jian Chenrann with loving eyes. "Child, you really don't have to worry. If I have any bad intentions towards you... I have already made a move before you found me. After all, your wife isn't in a good position right now, right? "
Jian Chenrann's expression was still ugly, but the vigilance on his face was a little less.
The reason why he dared to chase after Qiao Jing and talk to him for so long was because he vaguely felt that Qiao Jing had no ill intentions.
Just like what Qiao Jing had said, if he really had any ulterior motives, he could have done it a long time ago.
Qiao Jing smiled and said, "Child, your character is really simple and easy-going. If I lied to you, wouldn't you be in trouble now?"
Jian Chenrann froze, the corner of his mouth slightly twitching as he stared at Qiao Jing and said, "Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, hey, I was just joking." Qiao Jing quickly said.
Jian Chenrann snorted and asked, "Tell me about you. How can I prove that you are me? Uncle, what do you want from me?"
Qiao Jing thought for a moment and said, "How can I prove... Hmm... I went to my sister's grave, which is also in front of your mother's grave to take a look. The photo was correct, and her life and information were also correct. If you're sure that she's my sister's biological daughter, then I should be your uncle. "
" Of course I am my mother's biological daughter! " Jian Chenrann said angrily, "But my mother doesn't have a younger brother. She never said that she has a younger brother."
"Of course she won't say." Qiao Jing smiled and said, "Because we are siblings from the same father and different mother."
Jian Chenrann was stunned. He did not think that there would be such a complicated relationship.
Qiao Jing smiled and sat down on the stairs. He stretched out his hand and patted the seat beside him. "Sit down if you want to hear the story."
Jian Chenrann narrowed his eyes and sat down beside Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing looked at Jian Chenrann, who looked talented, and sighed. "If your grandfather saw you, he would be very happy."
The corner of Jian Chenrann's mouth twitched. "Don't rush to acknowledge relatives, okay?"
He had not even acknowledged them. They were both his uncle and grandfather's.
"Hehe, that's true." Qiao Jing smiled and said, "Then tell me the story first. It was a long, long time ago..."
Jian Chenrann rolled his eyes and said, "Please make it short. I am in a hurry to go back."
"Haha, okay, keep it short." Qiao Jing smiled with a good temper and said, "My father used to be a young master of a rich family. Later, because of the family's marriage, he had to marry a woman he did not like. Later, he met a woman he deeply loved. The love was so deep that it could not be stopped. Even though he was accused of being a scum, he still wanted to be with that woman. "
"Then, what happened afterwards?" Jian Chenrann asked.
"After that..." Qiao Jing sneered and said, "Young Master You Qian's wife was seriously ill. Plus, the family was in urgent need of him to take the lead, so he did not get a divorce as he wished."
"Then..." Jian Chenrann was stunned for a moment. "What about the person he loves?"
Qiao Jing said, "The woman he loved left with their daughter."
"Daughter?" Jian Chenrann was shocked, as if he had thought of something.
Qiao Jing nodded to confirm his guess. "That's right. This daughter is your mother. A few years later. Your grandmother was seriously ill. Your mother secretly found my father. Only then did everyone know of her existence. After that, your grandmother was treated, and your mother was also taken to our home. It seemed like everything was getting better, but it was not the case. Those few years, your mother didn't have a happy life, and then she even had a big fight with my parents. After your grandmother passed away, your mother left. She also said that she wouldn't have any connection with us from now on."
Qiao Jing paused, turned to Jian Chenrann and said, "I have been inquiring about you all these years. I thought that even if she did not go back, she must have some difficulties. But seeing that you completely did not know about my existence, I knew that she really did not want to go back to that home. "
After Jian Chenrann heard the story, he lowered his head and was silent for a moment. He said, "Sorry, if my mother made such a choice, then forgive me for not having any relationship with your family."
Qiao Jing sighed and said, "I knew you would say that, but Chenran... It is difficult for us to interfere with the grudges of the older generation. Besides, your grandfather is already very old. He has been worrying about your mother. If you can come back with me... Then he'll definitely be very happy."
Jian Chenrann hesitated and said, "I need to think about it."
"Okay, okay, okay. You can think about it." Qiao Jing was relieved when he heard that Jian Chenrann did not reject him directly.
He was already prepared to fight for a long time. As long as he was sincere, he believed that Jian Chenrann would be moved by him one day.
"I'll be leaving first." Jian Chenrann stood up and said.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Jing quickly said, "Leave me your contact details."
Jian Chenrann looked at him and gave him his number.
Qiao Jing asked, "About that... Where is your sister?"
As soon as he said that, Jian Chenrann's Qi changed. He stared at him coldly and said, "Don't disturb my sister, and don't even look for her."
"Cough cough..." Qiao Jing was shocked by Jian Chenrann's sudden cold and hard aura. He quickly explained, "I won't disturb her, but..."
"It's not just that." Jian Chenrann said, "If you let me know that you disturbed her, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Alright, alright. I promise I won't look for her." Qiao Jing sighed and said, "Why are children nowadays so easily agitated? Seriously."
Jian Chenrann rolled his eyes. He was already being polite by not kicking him away.
After talking to Qiao Jing for such a long time, when Jian Chenrann carried the foot basin back to the ward, Lin Xiaodou was already somewhat sleepy.
Seeing Jian Chenrann come back, Lin Xiaodou pouted and said, "Chenran, you are so slow."
"Sorry to make you wait for so long." Jian Chenrann said apologetically, "Come, I will help you soak your feet."
"I, I'll do it myself." Lin Xiaodou said with a red face.
But she also knew that it was useless to say that. As expected, Jian Chenrann only smiled and then pressed her feet to slowly soak in the water.
During this period of time, Jian Chenrann had really treated her very well. From food, clothing, accommodation, to massage and osteopathic massage, he had done every small detail very well. The nurses and doctors in the hospital who were familiar with him had called him 24 filial good husbands.
Every time at this time, Lin Xiaodou would feel that she was the happiest woman in the world.
"Is the water temperature alright?" Jian Chenrann's voice pulled Lin Xiaodou back from her memories.
Lin Xiaodou looked at the man in front of her and smiled happily. She nodded and pulled him up. "Chenran, come here first."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Jian Chenrann sat beside the bed, puzzled.
Lin Xiaodou did not say anything. Instead, she sent a video call to Jian Haixi through WeChat.
The other side quickly answered, but it was changed to a voice call.
"Hello, Xiaodou." Jian Haixi's voice came over. Jian Chenrann was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lin Xiaodou.
Lin Xiaodou smiled at him and passed the phone to him.
Jian Chenrann reached out and took the phone. His fingers were slightly trembling.
"Xiaodou?"
"Haixi, it's me." Jian Chenrann's voice was a little hoarse. Lin Xiaodou knew he was suppressing the concern in his heart.
"Oh, brother." Jian Haixi's tone was calm but friendly, as if they had not been separated for so long.
Jian Chenrann was stunned by her "elder brother," then nodded and said, "Yes, it is me."
"Brother, you are going to be a novice father soon. How are you now? Can you handle it?" Jian Haixi asked.
"It's alright." Perhaps Jian Haixi's attitude was not stiff. Therefore, Jian Chenrann also gradually relaxed. He smiled and said, "In the beginning, I was indeed a little flustered, but I looked up a lot of parenting information. I also asked the doctor about the things to take note of, and now it's much better."
"That's good." Jian Haixi smiled and said, "But no matter how prepared you are now, after the child is born, you still have to be flustered."
"I am already mentally prepared." Jian Chenrann said righteously.
Jian Haixi smiled and said, "After telling you this, I suddenly miss Mike. When I was overseas, Mike helped me a lot. Yi and Rui also annoyed him a lot after they were born. Now that I think about how crazy Mike had been back then, I find it funny."
Jian Chenrann laughed and asked," Haixi, did everything go well on your side? "
"It went well." After the lie with Lin Xiaodou just now, she was now able to face Jian Chenrann and Jian Haixi without changing her expression. "I'm doing very well here. You don't have to worry about me. Take care of you and Xiaodou. And the baby will be fine."
"Okay." Jian Chenrann answered.
Lin Xiaodou, who was listening to their conversation, thought for a while and said, "Haixi, my stomach is bulging now. There was a fetus movement a few days ago."
" Oh? " Jian Haixi said excitedly, "It hasn't been long. This means that the little guy is very lively!"
"I think so too." Lin Xiaodou smiled and said, "Your brother has to use the instrument to measure the fetus over and over again every day. If there are any abnormalities, he will rush to the doctor. The doctor is almost annoyed by him."
"Haha!" Jian Haixi laughed mercilessly and said, "My brother is just like this. He is foolish and honest."
"Cough cough... I'm here, okay?" Jian Chenrann said with a smile.
"So what if you're here?" Jian Haixi said proudly, "Anyway, you can't hit me. Of course I have to take this opportunity to say more bad things about you!"
Jian Chenrann smiled and said, "Is she still your biological sister? She purposely cheated your biological brother."
"Humph, biological brother was originally used to cheat. You only know after so many years?" Jian Haixi said as if it was a matter of course.
"Alright, the two of you are competing again." Lin Xiaodou smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Haixi, do you want to turn on the video? I will let you see my stomach."
"Pffft ~" Jian Haixi laughed and said, "Why should I look at your stomach? It's not like I've never been pregnant before. It's even bigger than yours. "
Lin Xiaodou laughed in spite of herself, "Jian Haixi, I just want to see if you are okay. Must you say it so bluntly? "
"Oh, then don't." Jian Haixi yawned and said, "I haven't slept well these two days. My dark circles are too big and I don't want to see my ugly face."
Hearing her words, Jian Chenrann and Lin Xiaodou looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
