Chapter 383: Wanting to Give Birth to a Son
"I understand your concerns, but they're not some big, unsolvable problem. It's all so old, Qiu Ling. As long as you trust me, others won't be afraid."
"Okay, let's not worry about the past. What about now?" Lan Qiuling asked.
"Now?" Zhao Zhixun frowned and looked at Lan Qiuling intently, thinking that Lan Qiuling suspected that he was still having an affair with Liu Zhiqing?
Lan Qiuling naturally guessed what her husband was thinking and quickly explained, "You know, she's actually involved with Liu Zhiqing, and they seem to be sisters. Your own daughter is sisters with the woman you once had an affair with. If this gets out, wouldn't it be ridiculous? Who knows, people will probably say that Su Xiao is your illegitimate daughter with Liu Zhiqing!"
"Qiu Ling!" Zhao Zhixun immediately shouted.
Lan Qiuling rarely saw her husband like this, and she was immediately frightened.
Zhao Zhixun said sternly, "Some things can't be said carelessly. What others think is their business, but it can't come out of our mouths. Do you understand?"
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive at the moment." Lan Qiuling naturally understood and immediately realized her mistake, and apologized when she should.
The old lady looked at her coldly. This daughter-in-law was undoubtedly excellent, and she had made an indelible contribution to her son's success.
But he behaved so ugly in this matter!
Maybe this is the pros and cons of love.
Once a person falls in love, no matter how smart and capable he is, he will become like a fool!
"Mom, don't worry. Since Su Xiao is our daughter, we will take her home and take good care of her. By the way, who is she with now?"
"Who else could she be with? It's Yun Che. I heard they're planning to get married. This is another reason why I don't want her back. Uncle and the others don't like her so much! It's okay to let her come back, but she has to break up with Yun Che. Otherwise, how are we going to explain this to Uncle? And if word gets out, our Zhao family will become a laughing stock!"
Zhao Zhixun doesn't care much about whether the outside world is funny or not. Besides, he has a way to resolve it. Everyone has some troubles. At worst, they can just vent their anger on each other.
Instead, he felt that the tricky part was with his eldest brother. They were family, and he and his eldest brother had a good relationship since childhood. He didn't want to damage their relationship.
"We need to think about this in the long term. Let's first arrange for Hui'er to return home. As for her and Yun Che's affairs, we'll always find a way."
"You mean you don't want them to be together? But does Su Xiao agree?"
Zhao Zhixun remained silent. He gave Lan Qiuling a deep look before returning his attention to his mother. "Mom, please give us a few days to deal with this. Let Qiuling... take it easy. It'll also give Su Xiao some time to relax. Anyway, I promise you, I'll definitely bring her back. Take good care of yourself. The day you're discharged and go home will be the day Su Xiao returns to her roots."
The old lady was naturally happy, and when she heard her son say that, she didn't make things difficult for him.
Zhao Zhixun continued to stay with the old lady for a while, and also found a doctor to ask about the old lady's condition. Only after he was relieved that everything was going well did he leave.
The next day, Yun Che took Su Xiao to meet Zhao Yixuan. To be exact, it was Zhao Yixuan who arranged this for Yun Che.
Zhao Yixuan already knew about the situation and wanted to meet with Su Xiao first to see what Su Xiao thought.
It was only when Su Xiao saw Zhao Yixuan at the scene that she knew that Zhao Yixuan had made an appointment to meet her.
Her expression changed immediately.
However, facing Zhao Yixuan's kind and gentle smile, she couldn't turn around and leave. Under Zhao Yixuan's hospitality and Yun Che's encouragement, she sat down.
"What kind of tea would you like? Or juice?" Zhao Yixuan asked Su Xiao.
Su Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's all right. Let's have tea."
Zhao Yixuan nodded, then picked up the menu and pushed it in front of her, "Take a look at what you like to eat."
"I, I'm not hungry." Su Xiao said without even looking at the menu.
Yun Che pulled her hand and said, "How can you not be hungry? Even if you don't eat, the baby will eat too."
Uh—what baby?
We don’t know whether she is pregnant or not!
Su Xiaoyue frowned slightly and glared back at Yun Che.
Zhao Yixuan suddenly joked, "Yun Che told me you might be pregnant again, and said we'd register for marriage once you confirmed your pregnancy. This guy, even though he's a few years older than me, his abilities can't be underestimated. I'm so envious."
“What are you envious of? It’s not easy for you to have a child!” Yun Che immediately teased.
"Haha, it's really not easy. How about you try hard and then adopt one of them to me? After all, the child has the same blood as me, so I will raise him as my own son."
"You're dreaming. You can give birth to your own son! My son can only stay with me."
"That's not necessarily true. Although you are Su Xiao's husband, I am still Su Xiao's brother. A husband may do things to hurt his wife, but a brother will protect his sister all his life. Su Xiao, tell me, are you willing to adopt a child for me, your brother?" Zhao Yixuan said and looked at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao was stunned when she saw his handsome face with a smile on his face.
She knew that Zhao Yixuan's purpose in asking her to meet him today must be not simple, and he might mention his background, but she didn't expect him to speak so naturally, as if they didn't just know about this today, but had been siblings for many years.
She remembered that she had an inexplicable liking for him when she first met him. Looking back now, it must have been a special emotion that came from the depths of her being when she met a relative.
In the subsequent contacts, his righteousness, kindness, friendliness, and his repeated efforts to help left her with warm memories.
Today he suddenly asked her out for a meeting, which further demonstrated his thoughtfulness.
If there was anything to be thankful for after learning about his life story, it was that he had his grandmother and his biological brother.
But, Lan Qiuling...
Zhao Yixuan seemed to know what Su Xiao was thinking, and said at the right time, "You don't have to worry too much about Mom. In fact, you should be glad that you've just met her now. She raised me since I was a child, and she's a good mother, there's no doubt about that. But her control is too strong, and many times I can't stand it myself. After all, you are a member of the Zhao family, and you should recognize your ancestors. Just be close to Grandma. As for Mom, don't pay too much attention to her. Anyway, you're not a little girl who needs her help."
Su Xiao came back from her thoughts, stared at him blankly, and said, "You... doesn't she like you either?"
"It's not that she doesn't like it, it's just... she always thinks her ideas are right, that this is good for me, but she never considers whether I really need it. However, she has suffered a lot for this family over the years. She can't live freely and freely in front of the elders, so she can only vent in front of us younger generations. After all, she is the one who brought us into this world. No matter what, we should be grateful and respectful to her."
