Chapter 423 No Sense of Participation
Xia Lin looked at Gao Chengbin worriedly. She knew that Gao Chengbin was a strong-willed person and would not say anything even if something really happened.
So when she heard Fu Xiao say that Gao Chengbin had leg pain, she was really worried about Gao Chengbin's leg pain.
So when Gao Chengbin later said it didn't hurt, she felt that Gao Chengbin was just being stubborn and refused to admit it.
She said: "I asked my mother to send some herbal medicine to me. My father used it when his legs hurt. Just heat it up and apply it to the painful area to relieve the pain."
"Do you want to try it?" Charlene asked cautiously.
Gao Chengbin began to hesitate when he saw Xia Lin's expectant look.
Today, he wanted to turn their relationship back to that of normal friends.
Because he could see that Charlene's concern for him went beyond what a friend should have.
In fact, he also had feelings for Xia Lin in his heart, but he didn't dare to go further.
It was too much for him to bear.
He thought about it and finally decided to let Charlene down.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Qian suddenly cough.
When he turned around, he saw Su Qian winking at him.
That expression seemed to tell him not to refuse.
At this time, Gao Chengbin noticed Fu Xiao's eyes again. Fu Xiao seemed to be telling him not to rush to refuse?
At this time, seeing that he had not responded yet, Xia Lin said, "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."
Charlene shrank her neck. God knows how much courage it took for her to say this.
Gao Chengbin came back to his senses, licked his lips, and couldn't say no.
He said, "Okay then."
Xia Lin said: "Then tomorrow we..."
Su Qian said, "It's still so early, why make an appointment for tomorrow? We can handle it today."
"There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'It's better to do it now than to wait for the day.' If we resolve this sooner, Gao Chengbin will suffer less, right?"
Xia Lin looked at Gao Chengbin cautiously and asked tentatively, "What do you think?"
Gao Chengbin nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Xia Lin was delighted and said, "Then... let's go to my house."
After she finished speaking, Xia Lin felt a little regretful. Would Gao Chengbin be disgusted by what she said?
Unexpectedly, before Gao Chengbin even opened his mouth, Juanjuan said happily, "Great, great."
Gao Chengbin looked at Juanjuan helplessly and said, "What are you so happy about?"
Juanjuan was grinning foolishly, as if she didn't understand what Gao Chengbin was saying at all, but it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Gao Chengbin looked at Juanjuan and shook his head lovingly.
Su Qian and Fu Xiao felt a sense of accomplishment as if they had successfully accomplished something and could retire, and then they left quietly.
Gao Chengbin followed Xia Lin to her little home. He had always been in a hurry before and he had never even gone upstairs, so he had no idea what Xia Lin's little rental house looked like.
It was his first time here and he felt very warm and comfortable.
Although it was just a rental house, Charlene made the whole room clean and comfortable.
"I'm so sorry the house is so small."
Gao Chengbin shook his head and said, "This is already very comfortable. As a girl, you are so busy at work, and it's great that you can clean the house."
Xia Lin felt a little embarrassed when Gao Chengbin praised her.
She said shyly, "Wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some medicine."
Gao Chengbin said, "Okay."
Charlene came out again soon, holding two cups in her hands, one of which was water and the other of which was hot milk.
The milk is for Juanjuan and the water is for Gao Chengbin.
Gao Chengbin took it hurriedly and said, "No need to be so troublesome."
Charlene said, "It's not a problem. Just wait a moment."
After saying that, Xia Lin hurried into the kitchen again. Then Gao Chengbin heard bursts of noises coming from the kitchen, and soon he smelled the scent of Chinese medicine.
Not long after, Xia Lin came out of the kitchen. She said to Gao Chengbin shyly, "Sorry, I kept you waiting."
Gao Chengbin looked at Xia Lin walking towards him from a distance, his eyes became hot and his heart was filled with ripples.
Isn’t this the ideal married life he has always been looking forward to?
Charlene said, "This medicine is a little hot. My mom said it wouldn't be effective if it wasn't hot enough."
Gao Chengbin nodded slightly, pursed his lips, and said, "Yeah."
Although Gao Chengbin was mentally prepared, he still felt burned when the medicine was applied to his legs.
Gao Chengbin looked in Xia Lin's direction and found that Xia Lin's hands were red.
A trace of heartache flashed across Gao Chengbin's eyes. How could he deserve Xia Lin to treat him like this?
If it were Yun Jingshu, she would never do this for him.
Gao Chengbin grabbed Xia Lin's hand and said, "Your hands are already burning red. Let me do it myself."
Charlene paused, her heart beating uncontrollably.
"I..." Charlene swallowed nervously. She felt as if her throat was on fire and could hardly speak.
Gao Chengbin also realized that something was wrong with him. He quickly let go of Xia Lin's hand and looked in the direction of Juanjuan.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Juanjuan was so engrossed in watching TV that she didn't even notice what was happening on their side.
When I turned around, I found that Charlene had run into the kitchen with a red face.
Gao Chengbin's heart was beating uncontrollably.
He felt as if a spring breeze had blown away his cold winter and ushered in the most beautiful spring.
…
Su Qian nestled in Fu Xiao's arms and told him about her encounter with Yun Jingshu and Xiao Xu at the restaurant door today.
She said, "That Xiao Xu doesn't seem to be a very simple person. Go check him out when you have time."
Fu Xiao asked Su Qian, "When did you start caring about her so much?"
Fu Xiao was talking about Yun Jingshu.
Su Qian thought that what she cared about was not Yun Jingshu. She was not very interested in whether Yun Jingshu was dead or alive.
Su Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you think I care about her mother?"
Su Qian didn't want to be so hypocritical and pretend to care even if she didn't.
Fu Xiao smiled and said, "It was just a joke. I know you're talking about Xiao Xu. I also had some suspicions about Xiao Xu before, so I've already asked someone to check Xiao Xu's information. There should be news soon."
Su Qian said, "That's good. I hope there won't be any more trouble."
Fu Xiao carefully placed his hand on Su Qian's abdomen. He said, "I've heard there will be fetal movement. Do you feel it?"
Su Qian smiled and hit him, saying, "Don't pay attention. How can she feel anything when she's so young? Let's wait until she's a little older, maybe three or four months old."
Fu Xiao sighed and said, "I feel like I don't have any sense of involvement in your pregnancy. I can only watch you suffer, and I feel uncomfortable too."
Su Qian said, "No, aren't you participating now? You're helping me apply the oil to help me get fewer stretch marks. And when the baby is born, won't you still help take care of it? That's also participating."
Su Qian grabbed his hand and said, "I know you really care about me, not just words. That's enough."
