Upon seeing the man's call, Xu Wan felt incredibly guilty, as if she had done something wrong.
The phone rang for a full half minute before she answered it.
"Where are you?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, as gentle as ever.
"I...I...I'm on a business trip out of town." Xu Wan quickly admitted her mistake after speaking, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I was just afraid you wouldn't let me come."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Unable to hear the man's voice, Xu Wan felt even more guilty: "I'm sorry, this charity aid was something I had promised beforehand, and it's actually a very easy job. I was afraid you wouldn't understand, so I wanted to do it first and ask for your permission later..."
Jiang Tingzhou remained silent on the other end of the phone.
In Xu Wan's memory, Jiang Tingzhou had always been a very easy person to talk to.
He hasn't responded for so long, he must be angry.
Jiang Tingzhou remained silent for about two or three minutes before finally speaking: "In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?"
"No, but I'm newly pregnant after all. I understand you're worried about the baby, but my work is also very important..."
Xu Wan's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, her confidence waning.
She felt that Jiang Tingzhou's thinking was understandable; it was indeed wrong of her to come on a business trip without saying anything.
"Xu Wan".
Jiang Tingzhou suddenly called out to her.
The man's voice was no longer as gentle as before.
Xu Wan's heart leaped into her throat, and she whispered in response, "Yes."
“I want you to understand one thing: I am worried about the baby, but for only one reason: the baby is in your womb, and all my concerns stem from my worry for you.”
Jiang Tingzhou's voice was very stern.
Xu Wan was stunned.
The man continued, "I don't care where the child's soul goes after the miscarriage. I only care about your body. The miscarriage will harm your body, and I want you to be safe and sound, which is why I care about our child. From beginning to end, the only person I care about is you. Do you understand?"
Xu Wan's eyes felt a little hot.
This was something she had never imagined.
She assumed that Jiang Tingzhou must be very much looking forward to the arrival of the child, and it was perfectly normal for him to be concerned about the child's safety.
But to her surprise, the man said that he had been concerned about her all along...
"sorry……"
"I just want to tell you that you can discuss anything with me, and I will respect your choices, okay?"
"Um."
Xu Wan sighed again, saying that Jiang Tingzhou was truly the best man imaginable.
What did she do to deserve marrying him by sheer chance?
"Bang bang bang!"
Before the call was even ended, there was a knock on the door from Xu Wan's end.
A voice came from outside, "Senior Sister Xu, I'm sorry to bother you, but did you bring any medicine? Xia Shiwen twisted her ankle when she went to the restroom, and I only had a band-aid on..."
"Wait a minute!" Xu Wan said into the phone, "An intern here twisted her ankle. I'm going to bring her some medicine. I'll call you back later."
Jiang Tingzhou asked directly, "Was the person knocking on the door Pei Zhao? Are you the only one staying in your room?"
Xu Wan immediately realized what the man meant by asking that question, and quickly said, "Don't overthink it. I'm just out here for work. Besides, I've never doubted you even though you're away on business trips every day."
"I'm just asking, you're coming back the day after tomorrow, right? I'll go directly to that village to pick you up the day after tomorrow," Jiang Tingzhou said.
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan quickly took out the Yunnan Baiyao spray she had brought with her.
Then he opened the door and followed Pei Zhao to Xia Shiwen's room.
As soon as the two reached the door, they heard Xia Shiwen yelling, "What a lousy place! The toilet is so far away, and the road isn't even fixed! No wonder it's so poor!"
"Alright, do you think they don't want to fix it? Do you think they don't want to build a toilet in the guesthouse?"
Xu Wan grew up in a small town and understands the difficulties there very well.
Pei Zhao added, "You didn't come with us to see the villagers' homes. The place we're staying in is already very good."
Xia Shiwen pursed her lips and remained silent.
Xu Wan sat down, sprayed the medicine on Xia Shiwen, left the whole bottle of medicine, and then left.
Pei Zhao was with her.
As the two walked down the corridor, Pei Zhao cautiously asked, "Senior Sister Xu, were you just on the phone with your husband?"
