Chapter 39 Let’s adopt a child

I replied: OK.

When Shen Yixiao arrived, it was already completely dark. He looked hurried, and the first thing he asked me was whether I had changed the medicine.

"Okay, it's changed." I nodded.

"Then let's go back." He held my arm and had no intention of going to see Lu Xiaoyun.

I asked him, "Aren't you going to see Secretary Lu? After all, she is your secretary. You have come to the hospital twice, but you don't go to see her. Then people in the company will say that you are unkind."

Shen Yixiao's expression was subtle, and then he smiled, "My wife is still thoughtful. Then will you accompany me to see her?"

I shook my head and refused. "Forget it. I'm too lazy to go up. If Secretary Lu knew that you just stopped by to see her, he would definitely think that you are a cold-blooded boss. Just say that you came here specially to see her. Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

Shen Yixiao's eyes lit up a little, and his smile deepened. He pretended to be reluctant, "I don't really want to go, but what you said makes sense, so I'll go anyway."

I found a place to sit down and watched Shen Yixiao leave.

While I was waiting, Su Ying started bombarding me with messages again, sending me many messages.

Su Ying: Why are you ignoring me again?

Su Ying: Damn, you didn’t even accept my red envelope, and you’re still mad at me?

Su Ying: Where are you? You should be off work by now. I’ll come and play with you.

Su Ying: I heard that Secretary Lu was hospitalized?

She is really well-informed. I still can't figure out how she knew about Shen Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyun. Without me telling her, she also found out about Lu Xiaoyun's hospitalization.

Could it be that she is the worm in Lu Xiaoyun's stomach?

I called and got straight to the point, asking, "How did you know that Secretary Lu was in the hospital?"

Su Ying replied unhappily, "You still remember to call me back. I apologized to you before. There's no need for you to be so petty and keep harping on it, right?!"

"I want to ask you about Secretary Lu." I didn't want to waste time talking to Su Ying, so my tone was a little cold.

"I went to your company to find you, and heard from your company's people that this is not a secret. Why are you so serious?" Su Ying said unhappily.

"I'm not in the company. I don't have time today. I'm hanging up now."

After saying that, I hung up the phone.

After a while, Shen Yixiao came back.

His face didn't look very good, but he was still trying his best to remain normal. I could see it at a glance, but I didn't expose him.

It is estimated that the two had a conflict in the ward. Lu Xiaoyun is at her most vulnerable time now. Not only can Shen Yixiao not accompany her, but he also has to avoid suspicion with her. Any woman would be angry.

I didn't ask anything and let Shen Yixiao help me leave the hospital.

On the way home, Aunt Yang called.

After I glanced at Shen Yixiao, I hung up the phone.

"Who's calling?" he asked me suspiciously as soon as he found out.

"A relative, an aunt. I met her some time ago and she left me her contact information. We occasionally call each other to chat." I answered casually.

Shen Yixiao found it very strange, and he asked again, "Haven't you cut off contact with everyone in your family, including your relatives? How come we met by chance after so many years?"

He has always been very suspicious. When I broke off relations with my family, he didn't want to say it verbally, but he secretly followed me and investigated me to see if I really did it.

He felt that his position in my heart should be above everything else, including my parents and friends, and if I didn't choose to be with him, he would go to extremes.

I frowned, not very happy. "We have never left here, and they haven't left either. It's normal to meet by chance."

Shen Yixiao pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak for a long time. He didn't like me to have any contact with those relatives and friends anymore. He just hoped that I would be his personal property.

I used to think that this was love, but in fact the essence of this kind of love is selfish and it doesn’t really consider me.

"Have you not contacted your parents since they went abroad?" He spoke again and mentioned my parents.

I didn't want him to know that my parents had returned to China, and I didn't want to tell his relatives and friends even if we resumed contact.

"No, they changed their contact information a long time ago and I can't get in touch with them." My answer was not a lie, I really didn't have my parents' contact information.

Shen Yixiao freed one hand, reached out and held my hand, interlocking our fingers, and said with a guilty tone, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you lost your family and cut off ties with them."

But he didn't remain loyal to me because of this.

I sighed slightly, "Everything has already happened, as long as you don't let me down."

Shen Yixiao said "hmm", and unlike the usual sweet promises to coax me, he stared ahead silently, and I don't know what he was thinking at this moment.

After arriving home, he went to take a shower, and I took the time to call Aunt Yang back.

"Xiaoyue, I heard from Zhengnan that you went with him to find your brother." Aunt Yang's tone was full of relief, "He just told me tonight, I was so happy that I wanted to call you. Was Shen Yixiao next to you just now, so it was inconvenient for you to answer the phone?"

I was surprised that Aunt Yang knew that I would avoid Shen Yixiao to answer her call.

I didn't deny it. "Yes, Aunt Yang, I went to find Mingming. Please don't tell my parents. As long as they are happy, that's all."

"I know, I know. Zhengnan told me not to force you. You have your own ideas. I just felt bad that your family of three had been separated for so long, so I couldn't help but want to bring you together." Aunt Yang sighed.

"Thank you, Aunt Yang." I didn't know what else to say except thank you.

After chatting for a few minutes, I took the initiative to end the call because I was worried that Shen Yixiao would ask me who called after he came out of the shower.

As expected, Shen Yixiao is back. He is wearing a black bathrobe, with a faint tattoo on his chest and collarbone. He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs. It has to be said that his figure is extremely advantageous. There is a swimming segment in the program, and the program crew relied on his figure to reach the highest popularity.

I calmly put my phone aside. He came to sit beside the bed, put his arm around my waist, and asked me hesitantly, "Honey, how about we adopt a child?"

"What?" I was shocked. If Lu Xiaoyun was pregnant now and hadn't miscarried, I might still suspect that he wanted to use some tricks to adopt their two children without anyone knowing.

But now Lu Xiaoyun has had a miscarriage, and when he said he wanted to adopt a child, he would definitely adopt a child who is not related to her by blood.

We discussed this matter in our previous life, but we just mentioned it casually and never took it seriously. How could he suddenly think of it?
