Zhou Mo: He made things so difficult for you before, and you still think it’s okay?
Han Chen: He is your father, and it is understandable that he considers everything for you.
Zhou Mo: I’m glad you understand.
Han Chen: How could I not understand? If I had a daughter, I would definitely be stricter than Uncle Zhou.
Zhou Mo: This is just the beginning. You have even thought about having a daughter.
Han Chen: Think about it first. It’s not too much to think about it.
Zhou Mo: But what if I want a son?
Han Chen: It’s all fine. Ultimately, it all depends on God’s will.
Zhou Mo: You're talking without any hesitation. Why don't you give birth to a child and try? I want a son because I don't want my daughter to suffer the same way I did.
Han Chen: ...
Zhou Mo: Let’s talk about this later.
Han Chen: Yeah.
Zhou Mo didn't want to talk further.
She avoided these things because she couldn't figure them out and couldn't find the answers.
We can only take one step at a time and let nature take its course.
…
Saturday.
All the meetings in the imperial capital have ended.
Shen Qingyi suggested that they could take advantage of the weekend to travel around the capital, and she would pay for it.
Zhou Mo wanted to go home so much that she refused, but she suggested that Ding Ning stay and enjoy herself.
Ding Ning said she wanted to go back to Dongjiang with Zhou Mo.
Shen Qingyi teased, "Your senior sister is in a hurry to go back and see her boyfriend, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ding Ning blinked innocently at Zhou Mo.
"Just stay," Zhou Mo said, "Haven't you been clamoring to go out for a walk? Why don't you seize such a good opportunity? You and Director Shen communicate the least on weekdays, so you can treat this as training. If you end up studying for Director Shen's doctorate in the future, just treat it as a rehearsal for accompanying Director Shen on business trips."
After hearing this, Ding Ning had no choice but to accept it.
He is my own mentor, so there is no reason for me not to accompany him.
Zhou Mo couldn't wait any longer, so he bought the earliest flight back to Dongjiang on Saturday.
Han Chen was also very cooperative. He set thirty alarms early on and told Zhou Mo to call him in advance as he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get up.
Zhou Mo couldn't help laughing.
Han Chen's habit of not being able to get out of bed in the morning is becoming more and more adorable.
Fortunately, Han Chen went to the airport to pick up Zhou Mo on time the next day.
On the way back.
Han Chen said, "There's something I need to tell you."
"Hmm?" Zhou Mo couldn't help but feel curious as he looked at Han Chen who was acting so seriously.
"My mother was hospitalized the day before you went on a business trip." Han Chen hesitated for a moment and continued, "I didn't plan to tell you this originally, but Uncle Zhou said that we're a family from now on and should face any problems together. I think he's right. Now that you're my wife, there are some things I can't help but tell you."
"How is Auntie? Is everything okay?" Zhou Mo asked anxiously.
"I was discharged after one night," Han Chen said. "But my heart valve isn't very good and needs a new one, which means I'll have to have a second surgery."
"Is it necessary?"
"Well," Han Chen said, "I've already consulted Dr. Lu from the cardiac surgery department."
"Does Aunt Liang know this herself?"
"Know."
That's terrible.
Zhou Mo was originally very happy because he could return to Dongjiang as soon as possible.
Who knew that as soon as I landed, I would encounter so many unpleasant things.
"You've been thinking about this for a long time, right?" Zhou Mo asked.
"yes."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"It's not a good thing. Speaking it out—it won't do much good. It's better not to say it," Han Chen added. "Besides, if you know, you can only worry about it too."
"So when you married me and said you were doing it for Aunt Liang, you weren't lying, right?"
"Well," Han Chen said, "the situation at that time... was very complicated."
"Aunt Liang is in this state, and she's still worried about us. Aren't you afraid of tiring her out?"
"So, it's difficult," Han Chen said, "I don't want to hurt you, but I also don't want my mother to have any health problems."
"Find a time to tell them about the marriage," Zhou Mo turned and looked at Han Chen seriously, "How about tomorrow?"
Han Chen tightened his grip on the steering wheel and thought for a moment, "Have you thought it through?"
"certainly."
"Okay," Han Chen said, "I'll book a place tomorrow and ask them to come together."
"I'll notify my parents, and you notify Aunt Liang."
"good."
The two made a solemn decision.
That night, Han Chen and Zhou Mo both suffered from insomnia.
Zhou Mo was surprised. He got up and saw Han Chen lying on his back.
His eyes were open, but his gaze was dull as he stared at the ceiling.
"You usually sleep well, why can't you sleep?"
"It's strange that you can fall asleep," Han Chen reached out and squeezed Zhou Mo's hand, "Do you feel it? My palms are all sweaty now."
Zhou Mo couldn't help laughing, "Are you that nervous?"
"You see how nervous my dad is, and I'm probably just as nervous as he is."
"It's not like my parents haven't seen this before, so why are they afraid?"
"You don't understand," Han Chen said, "It's because of familiarity that I'm afraid, especially Uncle Zhou."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I can't figure him out, and I don't even dare to look him in the eye when I talk to him."
Zhou Mo laughed out loud, "My dad is not a monster."
"Everyone says you don't understand," Han Chen said, "I'm afraid... if he finds out we acted first and asked for permission later, I might be the next one to have my leg broken."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhou Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhou Mo was also quite nervous at first, but seeing that Han Chen was even more nervous than her, Zhou Mo became less nervous.
It’s all because Han Chen is too cute. After laughing out loud, it seemed like all the troubles disappeared.
…
The next day.
Han Chen had just gotten up when the hospital called and said there was an urgent patient to be treated, so he was called back to the hospital.
Zhou Mo asked him when he could come back.
Han Chen frowned, "It's hard to say."
Zhou Mo: "That 'kill first and report later' thing..."
Han Chen: "Wait for me to come back first."
Zhou Mo: "Okay."
So she waited at home.
However, lunch time had passed and there was no sign of Han Chen returning.
Zhou Mo was a little impatient and sent many messages, but Han Chen didn't reply.
It was really boring to be alone at home, so she planned to go out to the supermarket and buy some things. The refrigerator was empty again, so it was time to buy something.
However, as soon as she arrived at the supermarket, Liu Xiangru called and asked her if she had secretly taken her cross-stitch.
Zhou Mo stuck out his tongue, "It's here with me."
"You, you," Liu Xiangru said, "made me look for it at home for so long. Your Aunt Liang wanted to learn it, and I wanted to show her how to do it and teach her."
"Are you and Aunt Liang back to normal again?"
"Look at what you said. When did we have a bad relationship with your Aunt Liang?"
"Are you done with my dad about Uncle Han Chen's matter?"
"What's there to worry about? Han Chen has already come to apologize, and he apologized and made promises. After doing so much, what else can we ask Han Chen to do? It was his uncle who said those things, not him. We can't generalize."
"I didn't expect you and my dad to be so reasonable."
"When have your father and I ever been unreasonable?"
