Chapter 97

Jiang Suihan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the connection between the minor surgery and what he said. After several seconds, she blinked and punched his chest twice with her little fist: "Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me!?"

Realizing that my voice was a little loud, I quickly covered my mouth and looked around hurriedly. My mother-in-law was making lunch in the kitchen and the others had not returned yet.

She quickly pulled him aside and asked him in a low voice, "Why so sudden? Did you go there alone? Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel nauseous?"

Xu Zhao took her hand off his forehead and held it with both hands: "It's okay, it's just a small operation, it won't hurt at all, don't worry, you're pregnant, don't get too excited."

Seeing his nonchalant look, Jiang Huihan couldn't help but glare at him: "No matter how small the surgery is, it's still a surgery. Why didn't you discuss it with me before you did it? Now that you care about me, why didn't you worry about me before going to the hospital? We are husband and wife, and you make me feel like an insignificant outsider!"

She was really mad at him. They had agreed to discuss all matters at home together, but he kept it from her. He wouldn't tell her unless she asked. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

When Xu Zhao made mistakes as a child, his father would always beat him with a belt when he was angry. Jiang Huihan feels the same way now. She really wants to find a belt and beat him so that he will remember and not act on his own.

Seeing Jiang Huihan's face turned pale with anger, Xu Zhao patted her on the back to calm her down. He admitted his mistake very well, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Last time you gave birth to Chenchen, the nurse pushed you out. You were pale, bloodless, lying on the bed with weak breathing. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I wasn't that nervous the first time I fired the gun. My palms were sweaty and my legs were weak. I don't want to go through this again."

In fact, after having Chenchen, he thought that it would be good to just have this one child and raise him well, but his wife obviously had different ideas. She felt that having only one child at home would be too lonely, and two would be better. He couldn't convince her, so he thought of a compromise.

Pregnancy and childbirth are very harmful to the mother's body. I will recuperate for a few years first, and wait until Chenchen is older and doesn't need to be watched all the time. If my wife still insists at that time, I will consider it again.

However, accidents always happen faster than planned. The arrival of the child caught Xu Zhao off guard. After thinking about it for a whole night, he rushed to the hospital early this morning.

Jiang Huihan bit her lip, remained silent for a few seconds, then looked up at him: "Why are you so stupid?"

So stupid that it makes people feel particularly distressed.

She knew that he was doing this for her own good and didn't want her to suffer. In the three years since they got married, she had always known how good he was to her. His kindness was not expressed in words but in the little things he did in daily life. She was so used to it.

Xu Zhao brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it: "Not stupid."

Jiang Suihan asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Xu Zhao: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a minor surgery. It took less than an hour from entering the operating room to coming out. The injuries I've received on missions before were much more serious than this."

"You're lying! Your face is pale, and you still say it doesn't hurt. You say it doesn't hurt every time. The last time you were in the hospital for more than half a month, the wound was so big, and you lost so much blood, but you still said it didn't hurt when I asked you."

He said it lightly, but Jiang Huihan couldn't help feeling sorry for him. There is no soldier who has never been injured, and many soldiers are proud of the scars on their bodies. She knows all the scars of all sizes on Xu Zhao's body, and each scar is his medal.

Xu Zhao bent down and put his forehead against hers. "It only hurts a little bit, almost like a needle pricking your hand. Don't worry, I'm really fine. Look, I'm standing in front of you now. I can run a few laps without any problem."

Jiang Suihan glanced at him sideways: "I thought you were going to say it's cold outside. It's freezing."

Being able to joke showed that he was in a good mood. Xu Zhao smiled softly and said, "I forgot because I was in a hurry. I will remember it next time."

Jiang Suihan touched her belly and asked, "What are you going to do with this thing in your belly?"

Xu Zhao was stunned: "What should I do?"

Jiang Suihan: "Didn't you say you didn't want to go through my childbirth again? That's why I asked you what you were going to do with the baby in your belly?"

Xu Zhao pinched her face and said unhappily, "You just want to piss me off, don't you? It's all in your belly, what else can you do except give birth to it?"

Jiang Suihan deliberately touched her belly and lowered her head to talk to herself: "Poor baby, you are disliked by your father before you are even born. It doesn't matter, mom will love you in the future."

Xu Zhao was upset and begged for mercy with a bitter smile: "I really know I was wrong. I swear there will never be a next time. If I make a similar mistake again in the future, you can punish me however you want. I will never dare to say no."

Jiang Suihan pursed her lips and stared at him for a few seconds: "If you do it again in the future, you will voluntarily go to Lele's room and sleep with him. Depending on the severity of your mistake, it will be ten days, half a month, or one month or two months."

"No, ten days is long enough, two months?" Xu Zhao said he couldn't accept it and tried to negotiate, "I think not letting you go back to your room to sleep is not a good punishment. If you only give him one meal a day, he will definitely learn his lesson after being hungry for a few days. What do you think?"

Jiang Suihan glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't think it's that good."

At the dinner table, Su Ying asked her son, "Did you make your wife angry?"

"No." Xu Zhao replied and picked up a piece of pork ribs for Jiang Huihan.

Su Ying began to scold her son: "Look at you, you are 30 years old and still so ignorant. Your wife is pregnant, how could you make her angry? Why did I give birth to a fool like you who can't even coax people? Chenchen is more obedient and sensible than you."

Xu Zhao glanced at his son who was sitting on the chair. The child was holding a pork rib with his two paws and biting into it with his mouth wide open. His tiny teeth were tearing the meat off the rib with great force. His face looked a little ferocious, but because he was young, he looked cute.

Chenchen held up the ribs and handed them over: "Dad, here you go."

The child's face was covered in oil. Jiang Huihan turned her face away, pretending to ignore it, and continued with her meal.

This is how children eat, making everything dirty. Every time they eat, she turns a blind eye and lets Chenchen eat by himself. How he eats depends entirely on his ability. She will change his clothes if they get dirty.

Chenchen was educated very well by his parents. He would not eat all the delicious food by himself. He knew how to share at a young age. Usually, Jiang Suihan would just smile and pretend to take a bite. Children are too dirty when eating. Even if he is her own son, she cannot eat food stained with her son's saliva without any psychological barriers.

But as a father, Xu Zhao had no such worries at all. No matter what his son gave him to eat, even if it was candy that fell on the ground or was picked out of his mouth, he would eat it with a smile. In this respect, she, as his mother, felt inferior to him.

Xu Zhao smiled and took a bite of the chicken drumstick in his son's hand: "Dad has eaten it, Chenchen can eat it by himself."

Chenchen looked at the place where his father had bitten the chicken leg and confirmed that it was only a small bite and the chicken leg had not become smaller. He sat on the chair, swinging his two little feet happily, and continued to fight with the chicken leg.

Seeing that Jiang Suhan liked the salt and pepper pork ribs, Xu Zhao consciously picked up another piece for her without her even asking for it.

Jiang Suihan raised her eyes and glanced at him: "I can do it myself."

Xu Zhao touched his nose and sighed secretly. He was still angry and had to be coaxed.

Su Ying glared at her son, asking with her eyes what had happened. Xu Zhao shook his head and did not answer.

Su Ying looked at her daughter-in-law, then at her son, and her gaze fell on Chenchen, whose mouth was full of greasy food. She thought, forget it, let the young couple solve their own problems, it is not appropriate for her, as an elder, to interfere.

After lunch, Jiang Suihan went back to her room to sleep. After she became pregnant, she often felt sleepy and had to take an hour nap every day.

Xu Zhao followed in and asked cautiously, "Are you still angry?"

Jiang Suihan said in a firm tone: "No, I'm not angry."

Seeing that she ignored him and took off her coat to go to bed, Xu Zhao was a little anxious: "You are just angry. You ignore me when I talk to you. You are not like this usually."

He still feels wronged!

Jiang Suihan sat on the bed, folding his arms: "What am I like normally?"

Xu Zhao knew that he was still making mistakes, so he didn't dare to sit on the bed. He squatted down and said, "At least you are not as cold and indifferent to me as you are now. I have taken the initiative to admit my mistakes. Can't you forgive me for my good attitude? I feel uncomfortable because you keep ignoring me."

After saying this, he winked at her, looking very innocent and pitiful.

Jiang Suihan suppressed her laughter and said, "You are almost thirty years old, and you are still imitating your son's coquettish behavior. Where is your face?"

Xu Zhao held her hand and spoke with reason: "No one stipulates that men in their thirties can't act like a spoiled child. Besides, no one saw me acting like a spoiled child with my wife, so what's there to be ashamed of? Good Sui Sui, can you please forgive me?"

Jiang Suihan suddenly shuddered: "Don't imitate my way of speaking."

She was from the south, where people spoke in a light-hearted manner and were accustomed to adding modal particles after each sentence, which made her sound like she was acting coquettishly. Xu Zhao, a serious northerner and a tough soldier, suddenly spoke coquettishly to her in such a tone.

The key point is that he thinks there is nothing wrong with him, but she seems to have a problem!

Xu Zhao saw her smile, and smiled too: "If you smile, you won't be angry anymore. Being angry is bad for your health, so you should be less angry."

Jiang Suihan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then tell me, which bastard made me angry?"

Xu Zhao pretended not to know, got up and sat on the bed, hugged her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a low voice: "I'm a bastard, after giving birth to this one, we won't have any more children. Two is enough. Chenchen has been asking for a sister recently. I hope the baby in my belly can live up to her expectations."

Jiang Huihan's anger came and went quickly. She was angry because Xu Zhao did not discuss it with her before making such a big decision, not because of the incident itself.

"What if it's not a sister, but a brother? Would you be disappointed?"

She also hoped that the child would be a girl, so that she could make a perfect family with a boy and a girl.

Xu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's OK if he's a younger brother. It's also good to have an older brother to play with him."

Jiang Suihan burst out laughing: "Really? You're forcing it too much, Father Xu. If you say "good daughter" to the baby in your belly a hundred times every night, maybe your wish will come true."

Xu Zhao: "Are you serious?"

Jiang Suihan tried hard to control the upturned corners of her mouth: "Look into my sincere eyes, really."

After saying that, she nodded to show her confirmation.

Xu Zhao was speechless: "I only see your big eyes, big and bright."

Jiang Suihan accepted his compliment: "Thank you for the compliment."

Xu Zhao held his forehead helplessly: "It's over, I seem to have seen what my daughter will be like in the future."
