Chen Rou had no intention of having children, and she had nothing to apologize to Boss Nie for in this regard, because her value did not lie in having children, and her value as an individual far exceeded that trivial matter of having children.
But Li Xia and Chen Ke have one thing in common: they both like children and like to urge each other to have children.
Touching Chen Rou's flat abdomen, Li Xia remembered something and said, "Your cousin asked me about a gynecologist I often see, saying he was asking for you. It just so happens that I brought a prescription worth a thousand pieces of gold. Take it and have the doctor at Boss Nie's house check it. If he thinks it's good, then take it; if not, then forget about it."
Chen Rou didn't like discussing childbirth, so she said, "Okay, I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."
It was almost midnight, and Li Xia, still too excited to fall asleep, finally closed her eyes.
But just then, Chen Rou's phone rang again. This time, Li Xia couldn't stay still and said, "It's so late at night, someone must be calling you urgently. Answer it quickly."
Chen Rou was a little angry when she saw that it was Nie Zhao's number. She had already told Uncle Ming that as long as he came home, he would naturally know that she wasn't going home to sleep that night. He often worked overtime until midnight and would sleep at the sand plant or the branch office, which was normal. Of course, she was annoyed that Nie Zhao was calling her.
But when she answered, it was Kwong who spoke: "Third Wife!"
Chen Rou asked, "What is it?"
Kwong said, "The boss just got home. Although... he said you can rest assured and don't need to worry about him."
Kwong is still young and can't lie, so this sounded suspicious. Chan Yau asked, "Is he feeling unwell?"
At that moment, Kuang Zai was right across from Nie Zhao. He saw Nie Zhao rubbing his forehead and saying, "It seems like you're feeling dizzy."
Chen Rou said, "Then you should advise him to rest early, I need to go to sleep too."
"Goodnight, Mrs. Kwong!" Kwong said.
After hanging up the phone, he tried asking his boss, "Your dizziness might be due to the Chinese medicine. Can I take a prescription for you?"
Nie Zhao went through a lot of trouble just to secretly test whether his wife treated him the same way she treated other men, or whether it was just an act. But he didn't dare to overact, because he had been resting well in the past few days, his hemorrhoids had healed, and he was full of energy. He was just pretending to be dizzy.
Wouldn't Kwong's actions give him away if he took his pulse?
Moreover, telling him to go to bed early when he was dizzy was like telling a girl with menstrual cramps that her boyfriend should just drink more hot water. Mr. Nie was reflecting on himself, wondering if he had been staying out too much for work. At the same time, he felt sad and wronged because he realized that his wife treated him no differently than other men.
This made Boss Nie even more heartbroken than Li Xia not returning home at night as soon as she arrived.
But what else could he do? He had already told them to get some rest, so what else could he say?
He ripped off his tie and threw it to Kwong, saying, "Go downstairs and rest, I'm going to sleep too."
Actually, this was the first time Mr. Nie had ever stayed at home alone.
Before this, there had been times when Chen Rou called him angrily, but he was busy with work and sleeping outside, where the bed was far less comfortable than at home. He felt even more aggrieved and never cared about Chen Rou's feelings.
Today is karma coming back to bite you.
He came out after taking a shower, to the familiar bed, but it was empty.
He sat on the edge of the bed, opened the drawer, and took out a copy of "Global Military Affairs." He felt even more upset because whenever he came home, Chen Rou was usually in bed, either reading a book or a magazine.
Looking at the globe on the dressing table, which Chen Rou had only bought after she arrived, and remembering how she always spun it around, Boss Nie's sense of crisis intensified.
What's scary isn't that your wife occasionally stays out all night.
Rather, she had a natural sense of belonging and longing for the mainland, and seemed never to have considered the Nie family as her home.
This feeling is truly awful, but what's infuriating is that Boss Nie has nowhere to confide in.
He lay stiffly on the bed, closed his eyes, and let his mind wander. One moment he wondered if having a child would change Chen Rou's aloofness, but then he dismissed the crazy idea.
His mother contracted the disease when he was born, although it was later found that someone had poisoned her.
But that made Nie Zhao understand a principle: no matter how strong a woman is, when she gets pregnant or gives birth, it's a life-or-death ordeal, a calamity. He didn't want Chen Rou to experience such an ordeal.
Poor Boss Nie had just secured a large order for the South China Sea Army, and the gold mine in Lvsun had already been tested and found to have a 99% purity of raw gold, making smelting particularly easy. He was feeling quite pleased with himself when he suddenly fell into sorrow.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the clanging sound of the iron gate opening downstairs, nor did he notice that with a low roar of an engine, a sports car quietly drove into the underground parking garage.
He didn't even notice the footsteps in the hallway until the door was suddenly pushed open.
He was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Who!"
Then two gentle hands cupped his face: "Are you feeling unwell?"
It was Chen Rou! She said she had already gone to sleep, so why did she come back?
Even worse, she touched the pillow and was shocked: "Why is it wet?"
Nie Zhao was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that he was doomed. What would she say to him if she found out that he had been crying while hugging a pillow?
Nie Zhao himself hated himself for being so weak, because when he was unconscious, he actually cried so much that his pillow was wet. If Chen Rou were to realize this, she would probably think he was a coward, and she would despise him.
