There was a rare solemnity in his clear voice, and when I met his brown eyes filled with a deep affection that could drown you, I even forgot to breathe.
My heart skipped a beat. I really wanted to nod and agree, but I couldn't bear to say anything to refuse.
But after all, she was not in her early teens. After a few breaths, reason took over.
I pursed my lips gently. "I want to wait... until all these things are settled."
Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, I couldn't help but explain, fearing he might misunderstand. "These things are like time bombs. Whether it's Zhou Yan, Shen Xingyu, Su Wanyu, or Old K and that person behind the scenes, as long as we have a child, our concerns and their opportunities will increase. Zhou Fang, I also hope we can have a child soon. I believe we will work hard to be very good parents."
"But not now."
"Aruan,"
Zhou Fang's lips suddenly showed a hint of smile. "Do you feel like you're talking like a scumbag? I'm like that gigolo you're keeping."
“…”
I couldn't help but choke, and couldn't find any words to refute.
In those melodramatic cheating plots, the scumbags seem to like to promise girls: Don’t worry, we will have children, but not now.
I subconsciously wanted to argue, but then he started the car and slowly said, "I promise you."
I stared at him, afraid of missing his unhappy mood, "Really?"
"Really?"
He laughed, controlled the plate with one hand, reached out and rubbed my hair, and tentatively said: "But, if I get pregnant this time, can I..."
"Can."
He raised an eyebrow, "I'm not finished yet."
"I know what you want to say."
I held his long, handsome hand and whispered, "Although the possibility is almost zero, I promise you that if she gets pregnant, I will protect her at all costs."
In fact, my expectations for my child are no less than his.
But compared to him, I am more pessimistic, so I want to wait until everything is absolutely safe before considering matters related to the child.
When we arrived at the hospital, grandma was conscious and was helped by the nurse to stretch her muscles in the living room.
I pushed the door open and said, "Grandma, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better after the acupuncture?"
Although the acupuncture by Dr. Zhang was able to slow down the spread of the poison, it was ultimately impossible to completely prevent it from affecting the body. Before this acupuncture session, grandma already felt numbness in her limbs again.
"Nanzhi, why are you here again?"
Grandma glared at me and said, "Didn't I tell you to go home straight after work? Why are you always worried about me? Look, I'm fine in every way now. If you hadn't insisted on me staying in the hospital, I would have been discharged and gone home."
We didn't tell grandma about the poisoning, so if I hadn't coaxed her, she would probably have been discharged from the hospital a few days ago.
I went over and took grandma's hand, "I just want to spend more time with you, don't I?"
"Then I'll be discharged from the hospital and go home with you?"
Grandma spoke like a child, afraid that I wouldn't agree, and looked at Zhou Fang, "A Fang, what do you think?"
"grandmother!"
I was helpless, "You still..."
"Aruan, why don't you take grandma home?"
Zhou Fang, who had been so indulgent towards grandma, actually changed her tone and even tried to persuade me with reason and evidence, "You're worried about grandma being alone in the hospital. Anyway, this place is close to Lijingyuan. If anything really happens, we can always send grandma to the hospital, or ask the medical team to come over."
"Grandma, please wait for us."
I pulled Zhou Fang out of the ward, closed the door, and frowned. "Do you really think grandma can be discharged now?"
He lowered his eyes to look at me and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
"No."
I explained, "I'm just not sure if you're just accommodating me to make grandma happy, or if it's really okay."
“Both.”
Zhou Fang nodded slightly. "Professor Qin came to give Grandma her final treatment two days ago. As for the remaining injuries, the hospital is of no use. Mr. Zhang can also perform subsequent acupuncture treatments at home."
Hearing this, I knew he really thought it was feasible, and I couldn't help but be shaken.
After returning from Country Y, I always felt that my grandmother had aged a lot. This time she was poisoned, so I wanted to stay by her side all the time.
After a moment's hesitation, I also agreed. "Okay, then you'll be a good person to the end. You can talk to grandma."
"good."
He readily accepted the advice and went back into the ward.
After a while, they came out, supporting the old lady with a look that said "free at last" on her face.
I couldn't help but laugh and jokingly said, "Do you think Zhou Fang is your real grandson?"
"That's impossible."
Grandma shook her head calmly, "He can only be my grandson-in-law."
When she brought up this topic, on the way home, she glanced through the rearview mirror at Zhou Fang who was driving, and patted my hand, sighing with ulterior motives.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about Grandma's health. I'm an old woman, and I don't have any regrets in my life. The only thing I hope for is to see you and Afang get married and have children soon."
If this were normal, I would definitely expose her intention to pressure me into marriage, but now, I don't know if the antidote can be developed in time...
Hearing this, my eyes welled up and I turned away to wipe away the moisture from the corners of my eyes. "Grandma, I've only been back with you for a short time, and you're already willing to let me get married?"
"Silly girl, why are you still crying?"
Grandma was startled and said lovingly, "I'm really reluctant to let you get married, but Afang is not someone else. I believe that if you marry him, your life will only be more carefree than it is now. Stay away from this den of wolves of the Shen family!"
"Grandma, don't worry."
Zhou Fang suddenly spoke, his voice as pleasant as ever, "Whether we get married or not, in my heart, Ruan is already my wife."
"No matter what happens, I will protect her."
Grandma gave him a satisfied look, then asked, "Whoever bullied her?"
"Well, as long as I'm here, no one can bully her."
The man's words were careful and clear, like promises and assurances, but I had experienced too many failures, so my first reaction when I heard these words was nervousness.
I quickly said, "What do you mean as long as you are here, how can you not be here? You must be here."
