Chapter 81 Promise
"A Ran."
Lu Weiqing came behind her without her knowing and hugged her gently.
Jiang Ran finally came back to his senses and cried out "Brother Wei Qing" in a tearful voice.
Seeing how frightened and uneasy she was, Lu Weiqing felt extremely distressed and secretly regretted that he should not have let her out of his sight.
He led the two distracted little girls to wash their hands first, and then lit some calming incense in the room. They finally calmed down a little.
"Oh my god, having a baby is so scary. I don't want to get married anymore."
Lu Zhaoyang always felt that the blood on his hands had not been washed clean. He had changed three basins of water and still kept rubbing his hands with soap nuts.
Jiang Ran rubbed his hands until they were red. His stomach was churning and he didn't dare to speak at all, for fear that he would vomit as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Weiqing held her in his arms and felt that she was shaking. He could only stroke her back and slowly soothe her.
Perhaps it was the medicine, Lin Buqiu's screams and cries of pain became louder and could be heard throughout the house.
Lu Yu kept pacing outside the door. Mrs. Lu sighed and complained about her niece's bad luck.
"Can't our Lu family afford this little money?"
"Go ahead and take whatever you want. Can't you even save a little girl?"
Old Madam Lu leaned on her crutches and asked people to take out all the precious medicinal herbs in the warehouse and try their best to save the person.
Xu Qingwan pretended to be anxious, but in fact she was hoping that the child would be born safely and Lin Buqiu would die from excessive blood loss, so that she wouldn't have to worry about dealing with it anymore.
She had arranged with the court doctor in advance, so after today, no one would discover what she had done.
Two quarters of an hour passed, but there was still no sound of the child crying.
Jiang Ran couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he leaned close to Lu Weiqing's ear with a hoarse voice, "Brother Weiqing, I want to go home."
"good."
Lu Weiqing picked up Jiang Ran horizontally, blocked her sight with a veil, and left the house avoiding the bloody smell.
Lu Zhaoyang was both afraid and curious, so he stayed to wait for the result and did not go back home with them.
Jiang Ran remained silent along the way, his deer eyes full of water and fear.
Lu Weiqing carried her into the house, ordered her to prepare water, and called Taoli over, asking her to serve her carefully.
After washing off the bloody smell on my body and changing into clean clothes, the nausea-inducing feeling finally subsided.
Lu Weiqing took a thick cotton cloth and wiped her hair. Jiang Ran said nothing and just sat there blankly, letting him do what he wanted.
When her hair was almost dry, she fell asleep.
Lu Weiqing guessed that she was frightened and that once she closed her eyes she would see another bloody scene, so he tried to find a way to divert her attention.
While she was washing up, he had already taken a bunch of storybooks from the bookshelf, including many new books that Eleven had collected.
"Aran, you already have a cold. Be obedient and wait until your hair is completely dry before going to bed."
Jiang Ran knew that he meant well, so she forced herself to pick a book from the pile, and it happened to be the subject of her favorite.
The good books that I would not even sleep over when reading them on normal days, now have no appeal at all.
Jiang Ran flipped through a few pages, but lost interest and couldn't help but start to daydream again.
Seeing that she had turned two pages without noticing, Lu Weiqing knew that she had no intention of reading, so he took the storybook from her hand, which gave her a start.
"Are you tired? Close your eyes and lean on me for a while. I'll read to you."
Without waiting for Jiang Ran to refuse, he put his arm around her shoulders, held her in his arms, and began to read the storybook.
It was fine at first, but the more he read, the more Jiang Ran felt something was wrong.
She tilted her head slightly, glanced at the name on the cover, and her heart skipped a beat.
I rubbed my eyes and looked again. Yes, it was really him! His book started out ordinary, but once it got on track, it immediately made people blush and their hearts beat faster.
This is not something to think about! Let's just say, if there is one more person in the room, she would be embarrassed to look at them.
Jiang Ran snatched the book from Lu Weiqing's hand and said, "Let's stop here today. I'm sleepy."
Lu Weiqing nodded in agreement, and seeing Jiang Ran's relieved expression, he took the book back.
"Then I'll continue reading to you tomorrow. Leave the book here with me."
"No!" Jiang Ran let out a sharp cry and subconsciously tried to grab the book.
Seeing that she was anxious, Lu Weiqing deliberately played a trick and lifted the book up.
Jiang Ran jumped around for a long time but didn't even touch a page of the book. He sat down on the couch angrily, almost forgetting what happened before.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoyang came back at this time, shouting that he wanted to talk to Jiang Ran.
Lu Weiqing knew she was going to talk about that, and was about to send her away when he heard Jiang Ran say, "Let her in. I want to know, too."
He had no choice but to open the door for Lu Zhaoyang and warn her to be careful with her words.
As soon as Lu Zhaoyang entered the room, he pulled Jiang Ran aside and muttered, "It's a good thing you left first. You don't know how horrifying that scene was. When the child was brought out, half of his body was blue..."
Lu Weiqing glanced at her and thought to himself that this little girl was too outspoken. He had finally managed to coax Ah Ran into submission, so he shouldn't have let her in.
Zhao Yang shrank his neck, not daring to keep the secret any longer, and said in a raised voice: "Don't be afraid, he was rescued later!"
"The little girl was very stubborn. She drank some of the nurse's milk and burst into tears."
Jiang Ran felt relieved when he heard that the child was fine.
Although they hadn't encountered each other by chance today, they were still uneasy because they hadn't had time to stop Xu Qingwan's plot.
"How is Lin Buqiu?"
Lu Zhaoyang sighed, "We're still rescuing them. If they can survive tonight, there's still hope. If they can't..."
The two of them sighed at the same time. Lin Buqiu didn't know people well, so this hurdle was difficult to overcome.
"Giving birth is like going through hell for a woman, so don't worry too much, Ran." Lu Zhaoyang advised her again when he saw that she looked unhappy.
Jiang Ran nodded. "You're tired too. Go back and get some fresh air and rest. If you're scared, you can come find me."
Lu Zhaoyang glanced at his elder brother's expression and hurriedly said goodbye.
Looking for her? Big brother must throw her back to Gusu.
After sending Zhaoyang out, Jiang Ran still felt upset and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Lu Weiqing tiptoed onto the bed, ready to hug the little girl. She seemed to sense something and turned over nimbly like a fish, just avoiding his touch.
Lu Weiqing felt bitter. He had finally made up his mind to confess his feelings to his wife, and she no longer resisted his contact. But suddenly this happened again, and she was scared.
He didn't dare to act rashly again and just tucked the corner of the quilt for Jiang Ran.
"Aran, don't worry, I'm different from him."
"I will never push you if you're not ready."
Jiang Ran didn't want to answer, but the thoughts kept churning in her mind, making her think wildly.
"What if I never want to have children?"
"That's fine." Lu Weiqing seemed to know she would ask and answered firmly.
Jiang Ran didn't expect that he would say such shocking words without hesitation.
In the dim candlelight, she turned around and looked at him in disbelief.
This overly passionate love was right in front of her, making it impossible for her to ignore it or escape from it.
