Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
"Wanwan, you're awake?" Lingya quickly came over and asked with concern, "How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"
"I……"
Xu Wan wanted to say something, but felt that Ling Ya was an outsider and didn't know how to say it.
She was conscious during the abortion and D&C procedure and knew she was no longer pregnant.
But the person in front of her wasn't Jiang Tingzhou, so she had no idea what to say.
"What do you need? Tell me, and I'll get it for you. Don't be shy." Ling Ya gently held Xu Wan's hand. "Would you like some water? Or something to eat?"
"Aunt Ling, no need to trouble yourself..."
Hearing Xu Wan call her that again, Ling Ya realized what the problem was. She slapped her forehead: "Look at my brain, I forgot the most important thing after talking for so long."
"Mom, is Wanwan awake yet?"
Before Ling Ya could introduce herself, Jiang Tingzhou had already come up.
The man was worried about Xu Wan and had no mood to take a proper shower. He quickly rinsed off, changed his clothes, and rushed upstairs.
mom?
When Xu Wan heard Jiang Tingzhou use that title, she immediately thought she had misheard.
But the next second, Lingya turned around and scolded him: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Luckily Wanwan woke up, otherwise you would have woken her up even if she hadn't. Honestly, you're such a grown man and you're still so clumsy! Be more careful next time!"
"Feel sorry."
Jiang Tingzhou immediately apologized.
Xu Wan lay in bed, feeling somewhat dazed.
Jiang Tingzhou is a well-known lawyer in Beicheng, and he is also a friend of Gong Yanli at Shenghe Hospital. Everyone here treats him with great respect. How come he isn't angry when Ling Ya says such things to him?
Xu Wan lay on the bed, looking at Ling Ya with some confusion, "Aunt Ling, um..."
“Wanwan, you still call me Aunt Ling? Didn’t I always mention my eldest son to you before?” Ling Ya pulled Jiang Tingzhou to her side. “Let me introduce you, this is my eldest son, Jiang Tingzhou.”
"he……"
Xu Wan looked at Jiang Tingzhou.
The man walked over and took Xu Wan's hand. "Wanwan, I only found out yesterday that the florist you often mention is my mother, Ling Ya."
Lingya quickly said, "I only found out a week before him. I saw you from the window when I came to pick you up last week."
"What a coincidence..."
Xu Wan looked at the two people in front of her with an incredulous expression.
Jiang Tingzhou smiled and said, "It means we are destined to meet. Even if we hadn't met at the blind date party, my mother would still have introduced you to me."
Lingya glanced at her watch and said, "That's the gist of it. You two can talk it over. Sen Sen is home alone, so I'll head back now. You should both get some rest."
Seeing Ling Ya about to leave, Xu Wan quickly said, "Goodbye, Aunt Ling..."
"Still calling her Aunt Ling? Next time you see me, call her Mom, understand?"
After finishing her sentence, Lingya left the ward in a hurry.
As soon as she left, the entire ward fell silent.
Xu Wan finally dropped her facade of strength, grabbed Jiang Tingzhou's hand, tears welling in her eyes: "Husband, I'm sorry, I, I, I didn't protect our baby..."
Jiang Tingzhou also found it difficult to accept the loss of her baby.
He knew very well that he had to appear strong and be a supportive shoulder for his wife.
“This is not your fault. We’ll go to the temple to pray sometime and ask the baby to wait a while longer before coming back to us to be his parents.”
As Jiang Tingzhou spoke, he held Xu Wan's right hand tightly.
Xu Wan gently shook her head: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have gone downstairs early. I should have waited for you upstairs and made sure you came before going down..."
During her time being kidnapped, Xu Wan reviewed the events countless times.
Her mistake was going downstairs too early.
“Then I was also at fault. I should have investigated the owner of apartment 602 beforehand. If I had found out earlier that the florist was my mother, and made things clear, you would have just waited for me to come upstairs to pick you up,” Jiang Tingzhou said.
"no……"
"Wanwan, what's past is past, don't dwell on it anymore, look forward. I won't let this happen again. If you want, we can have one, two, or three children. If you don't want children, I can get my tubal ligation done."
Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan aside and spoke in a gentle yet firm tone.
