The man's palm was very warm. As their hands clasped together, Xu Wan felt a pang of heartache, and her eyes reddened. "Then don't work so hard next time. I'm afraid I'll end up a widow someday."
"No, I'm in good health."
"You said the same thing yesterday, that you're healthy and won't get sick, and look what happened?"
"..."
Jiang Tingzhou was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
Xu Wan said defiantly, "Why don't you just focus on making money? If you die young, I might still be young, so I can use your money to find some young heartthrobs to date, spend all the money you've earned on them, give them cars and houses, and have them travel with me."
In the past, Jiang Tingzhou would definitely have silenced the woman with a kiss.
But he was too weak today, so he could only sigh and say, "Then you'd better choose someone more handsome. I don't earn money easily, and I refuse to pay for someone whose price is too high."
"Okay, then I'll select a batch at a time and burn them for you at your grave. If you're not satisfied with any of them, just come to me in a dream."
Xu Wan continued speaking in the same vein as the man.
At this point in the conversation, Jiang Tingzhou finally stopped talking. He squeezed the woman's hand tightly and said, "Let's forget it. I find that I can't accept the fact that you belong to someone else. I have a very long lifeline on my left hand. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to change husbands before you turn seventy."
"Then don't be so stubborn in the future." Xu Wan looked at the man's heavy eyelids. "Go to sleep, I'll stay here with you."
"No need, you should go home," Jiang Tingzhou refused.
"Why?"
“I might sleep until tomorrow morning. Mom has only been at home for a short time and is not used to the lifestyle yet. She might not sleep well if she stays at home alone and needs you to be with her. There are so many doctors and nurses here, it's very convenient.”
Xu Wan understood Jiang Tingzhou's thoughts.
If Jiang Tingzhou weren't sick, she would definitely have chosen to go home and be with her mother, but now the man is ill...
Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the medicine bottle hanging beside her and said, "Go to sleep. I'll leave after you finish this IV drip."
"good."
After the man agreed, he closed his eyes, and soon his even breathing could be heard.
Xu Wan stayed in the ward for more than an hour before leaving.
She got home at just five o'clock.
Xu Pingrong watched her enter, then glanced at the time, his face full of surprise: "Why are you back so early today?"
Xu Wan told the truth, "Tingzhou was sick. I accompanied him to the hospital in the afternoon, and after he rested, I came straight back from the hospital."
"He's sick? Is it serious? Why aren't you at the hospital with him?" Xu Pingrong glanced at her watch. "How about I make some chicken soup and bring it to him tonight?"
"No need, the hospital has everything."
"Wait a minute, I didn't know you were back so early. I haven't cooked yet. I'll cook now."
As Xu Pingrong spoke, he walked into the kitchen.
Xu Wan quickly followed, taking her mother's hand. "Mom, don't cook. Let's go out to eat and then go shopping."
"Eating out is so expensive, we..."
"Mom~"
Xu Wan held her mother's arm tightly, pouting.
The way she's acting cute right now is exactly the same as when she was a child.
Xu Pingrong was somewhat moved, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll put the meat and vegetables in the refrigerator and cook them tomorrow."
-
Tonight is private time for the mother and daughter.
Xu Wan drove Xu Pingrong to the most bustling pedestrian street in the north of the city, found a shopping mall, and took Xu Pingrong to buy clothes and shoes.
To let the sales assistant know that she was someone who could afford it, she specially wore the purple jade bracelet that Lingya had given her before.
She went into the first clothing store.
Sure enough, the sales assistants in the mall knew their stuff. When they saw the bracelet she was wearing, they came up to her with great enthusiasm to sell it to her.
After Xu Pingrong changed into the clothes, the sales assistant praised him as if he had been coated with honey.
Finally, when Xu Pingrong asked about the price, Xu Wanxian said, "Discount, discount."
The sales assistants were all experienced, and seeing this, they immediately said, "Auntie, you've come to the right place! We have a Thanksgiving promotion recently, and all our items are discounted on top of the existing discounts, so they're very cheap."
While Xu Pingrong was wavering, Xu Wan quickly went to the cashier to pay the bill, asked the sales assistant to remove the price tag, and didn't take the receipt.
As the mother and daughter were carrying their clothes and preparing to leave, another mother and daughter walked in from the opposite direction.
