Chapter 465: Sweet After Bitterness

He Tingchen put the supplement aside, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How are you feeling? Did the doctor say you're recovering well?"

This simple expression of concern surprised Mr. Li, and his eyes were full of shock.

Ever since he left home, not only did he not return to the Li family, but the two of them were almost out of touch.

It was also because of this hospitalization that the relationship between the two people eased, but he could still feel that He Tingchen had not completely let it go, and even when he comforted him, he always felt distant.

Master Li was stunned for a long time before he slowly nodded: "It's okay, it's an old problem, it will be fine after some rest."

Seeing the atmosphere ease, Lin Rushuang quickly tried to smooth things over: "Master Li, you don't know that if you hadn't asked Butler Zhou to deliver the documents today, Tingchen would have almost sold the subsidiary. You've really helped us a lot."

When this matter was mentioned, Master Li looked at Lin Rushang with a rare look of approval.

"This matter originally belonged to our Li family. This kid's company had problems back then. If you hadn't secretly moved the projects of your former company to help him fill the hole, it would have probably gone bankrupt by now."

He paused, looked at He Tingchen, and his tone was gentle.

"Don't be angry with me anymore. I'm old, what can I still argue with you about? I just hope that you will be well in the future. That's better than anything else."

The corners of He Tingchen's tense lips relaxed a little. He looked at the white hair on Master Li's temples and remembered that when he was a child, Master Li was not so old. He would occasionally hold him on his knees and teach him to recognize stock codes.

Although it was indeed too strict, it did not make him have a good childhood.

But it did contribute to his current abilities.

"Anyway, I owe you a favor this time."

"We are a family, there is no need to talk about debts." Master Li waved his hand.

"vomit."

Suddenly, a pungent smell of disinfectant hit her, and Lin Rushang subconsciously retched twice.

Mr. Li was a very smart man. When he saw Lin Rushang's reaction, he asked hurriedly.

"Rushuang, are you pregnant?"

Lin Rushang was still holding her chest with her hands and frowning. She was actually a little surprised to hear what Master Li said.

“You are amazing.”

Master Li stroked his beard with a little pride.

"Of course I have. I have walked more roads than you have eaten salt. I do have some good judgment."

After saying that, Master Li hurriedly gave instructions to He Tingchen.

"I'm pregnant now, I can't put it off any longer, I need to find a time to get married."

He Tingchen put his arm around Lin Rushang's shoulders, and the sharpness in his eyes and brows softened a lot.

"We're already discussing it. Once we're done with this busy period, we'll have the wedding."

"Hurry up!" Master Li urged anxiously, "The wedding should be lively. I'll notify the relatives and pay for it. Have you decided on a name for the child?"

Lin Rushuang was amused by what Master Li said.

"Grandpa, we're only a month pregnant and we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl. Don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious?" Master Li smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out. "I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson! When you have time in the future, please come to see me more often and tell me about the child's situation. It will make the house more lively."

Lin Rushuang quickly agreed: "Don't worry, we will definitely come often. When you feel better, we can also take you to the park for a walk and see the scenery."

He Tingchen rarely spoke: "Next week I will ask Qin Yang to send the tea set and chess board over, so you can relieve your boredom in the ward."

When Mr. Li heard this, he immediately became energetic.

"Okay, when you have time, you have to come and play a couple more games with me."

"Okay." He Tingchen agreed readily.

Master Li looked at the harmonious scene in front of him, and his eyes became slightly warm.

He has lived for most of his life, experienced the ups and downs of the business world, and tasted the separations and reunions of his family. In his later years, what he most longs for is this stability.

He picked up a piece of pine nut cake and took a slow bite. The sweet taste spread in his mouth, and his empty heart seemed to be filled at this moment.

When leaving the ward, Master Li was still instructing He Tingchen to take good care of Lin Rushuang.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Rushuang couldn't help but smile and said to He Tingchen, "You see, the old man is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. If you talk more in the future, your relationship will definitely get better and better."

He Tingchen held her hand, feeling the warmth on his fingertips, and he looked at the smile in her eyes.

"Well, I'll do as you say."

The following week, He Tingchen finished his work in the company as quickly as possible, and then chose a weekend to take Lin Rushang to choose a Chinese wedding dress.

Walk into the Chinese wedding dress shop hidden in the old neighborhood.

The wooden door creaked open, and a room full of brocade and embroidery came into view. The proprietress came over to greet me with a smile.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He, the styles of shawls we mentioned last time are all ready. Please come this way."

Lin Rushuang's eyes were immediately attracted by the bright red embroidered phoenix bridal gown on the shelf. The phoenix embroidered with gold thread spread from the shoulders to the hem of the skirt, and its tail feathers were adorned with tiny pearls, glowing softly under the light.

She reached out and gently touched the fabric, feeling a delicate touch on her fingertips.

“This one is really nice.”

He Tingchen also reached out and touched it: "If you like it, try it."

"Then sit here and wait for me."

Lin Rushuang and the proprietress took the clothes into the fitting room.

After Lin Rushuang changed, she opened the door of the fitting room and asked He Tingchen who was looking down at his phone.

"What do you think?"

He Tingchen looked up when he heard it, and his breathing stopped instantly.

Lin Rushuang stood in front of the mirror wearing a shawl, the pearl hairpins on the phoenix crown swaying gently, making her eyes and eyebrows look gentle.

She turned around and asked him, "Is he too fat? I've had a good appetite lately, and my waist seems to have gotten a little thicker."

He Tingchen walked forward, reached out to help her straighten her collar, and brushed his fingertips behind her ear. His voice was low and ambiguous: "Not fat, just right, but there is a problem..."

He picked up the tape measure beside her and carefully measured it around her waist. He then said to the proprietress, "Add a two-inch hidden button here to facilitate subsequent adjustments."

The proprietress smiled and agreed: "Mr. He is very thoughtful. Mrs. He is so lucky."

Lin Rushuang listened, her eyebrows curved, and she reached out to hold He Tingchen's hand: "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. It's just one wedding, so it's okay."

"No." He Tingchen looked down at her, his eyes full of doting, "My wife, you must wear something comfortable for the wedding. You can't compromise at all."

He pointed at the phoenix eyes on the shawl and said, "Look at these phoenix eyes. They're made of red southern red beads. They go perfectly with the pair of earrings you liked last time. When the time comes, have the jewelry store turn the earrings into brooches and pin them here. They'll be a perfect match."

Lin Rushuang looked in the direction he pointed and agreed with He Tingchen's vision.

She really didn't expect that she would have another wedding in her life. In a sense, this was also her first wedding.
