Huang Ling said, "Well, how should I put it? I'm half-believing and half-doubting. I believe that Tu Nan isn't the kind of person who's fickle or ungrateful. He'll definitely take responsibility for his feelings, but he just hasn't made up his mind yet. Chao Ying, he listens to you. You should persuade him not to always think about Zhang Min. He should settle down and start a family!"
"Well, after your surgery, I'll say that the longer we drag this out, the longer Anna's heart will be cold. We can't let her come all this way for nothing. Tu Nan is a bit slow and doesn't know how to take the initiative, but I can tell he has the intention, he's just too embarrassed to say it!"
"Yes, these past two days have been a bit hectic. Let's talk about it after the surgery!"
On the morning of the third day after the surgery, a week later, Huang Ling had recovered well and came to Zhuang Tu Nan's ward again with Zhuang Chao Ying's help. At this time, Zhuang Tu Nan was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Anna was feeding him spoonful by spoonful while holding a bowl.
Seeing this, Huang Ling blushed and stood at the door of the ward, saying, "Tu Nan, aren't you ashamed? You're such a grown man, and you still need someone to feed you hand-to-hand?"
When Zhuang Tunan saw his mother coming to see him, he quickly said with a blushing face, "Mom, it's not that I wanted to do it this way, it's Anna. She said she wanted to feed me like this, and I was too embarrassed to object, so I had to accept it!"
"Alright, now that you've accepted Anna, let's get married after we're both discharged from the hospital!"
Zhuang Tunan said to Huang Ling with some surprise, "Mom, you can't arrange it like this! How can you force your children to get married these days! What era are we living in? We can't have arranged marriages anymore!"
"When did I arrange a marriage for you? Didn't you bring Anna all the way from America to be with her? Now that she's here and serves you like this every day, you should act like a man and take responsibility for her!"
Zhuang Chaoying also said, "That's right! Tu Nan, don't take your blessings for granted! What's wrong with Anna? She serves you day and night. Anyone should be grateful and accept her, unless you're toying with her and you're an ingrate!"
"Dad, I just feel I've let Zhang Min down, I owe her so much, and I can't accept Anna right now!"
Zhuang Chaoying suddenly pointed at Zhuang Tunan and said, "If that's the case, I'll buy Anna a plane ticket tomorrow and let her go home. Since you don't have that intention, why are you delaying her here!"
"Oh no! You let her go, what am I supposed to do? I haven't recovered yet!"
Zhuang Chaoying rolled her eyes, glared at Zhuang Tunan, and said, "From now on, you'll have to take care of yourself. Anna doesn't owe you anything!"
"But, what if I can't live without her?"
"What to do? Let's get married!"
"I,,!"
Seeing that Zhuang Tunan was still hesitating, Huang Ling said, "Anna, we'll buy you a plane ticket tomorrow so you can go home!"
Zhuang Tunan grew anxious and said, "Mom, please don't be like this. I... I'll accept Anna and marry her, okay?"
Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling were both secretly pleased to hear this, but their expressions remained unchanged. Huang Ling said with a stern face, "I'm serious, unlike you who goes back on your word!"
Zhuang Tunan hurriedly said, "No regrets, no regrets, absolutely no regrets, I'll listen to Mom!"
Huang Ling then turned her anger into joy and said, "That's good! In a couple of days, after we're both discharged from the hospital, we'll hold the wedding. Your dad and I will finally have a grandson. Otherwise, who knows when this will ever end!"
"Who wants to hold a grandson?"
Huang Zijuan came over carrying a bag of apples and said with a smile, "Should I give a gift?"
Huang Ling turned to Huang Zijuan and said, "Your brother Tu Nan has agreed to marry Anna, isn't that a good thing? I can hold my grandson now!"
Upon hearing Huang Ling's words, Huang Zijuan was displeased and instead said disdainfully, "Tch, Aunt, don't listen to my brother Tu Nan. He'll regret what he says in three minutes!"
Seeing that Huang Zijuan didn't believe him, Zhuang Tunan quickly said, "Cousin, I'm serious this time. I can swear to you if you don't believe me, okay?"
When Huang Zijuan saw that Zhuang Tunan had actually raised his right hand, she was about to swear an oath.
Huang Zijuan hurried over, straightened his right hand, and stopped him from swearing, saying, "No, no, don't swear! If your swear comes true, my aunt will have to take care of you, and that won't do, it will be too much trouble for my aunt!"
Huang Ling said with a smile, "Alright, Zijuan, stop joking about your brother Tu Nan. I believe Tu Nan is serious this time!"
Huang Zijuan smiled at Huang Ling and said, "Auntie, if you say it's true, then it's true. I won't argue with you. I'm afraid you'll get agitated!"
Everyone in the ward laughed at that one sentence.
Just then, another person appeared at the ward door—it was Xiang Pengfei. As soon as he entered the ward, he said, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy? Tell me so I can share in your happiness!"
Zhuang Chaoying said, "Your brother Tu Nan is getting married. Once your aunt is better and discharged from the hospital, we'll hold a wedding for them!"
Xiang Pengfei asked Zhuang Tunan with a smile, "Is it true, Brother Tunan?"
Zhuang Tunan nodded hurriedly and said, "It's true. Anna came all the way from America and serves me and takes care of me every day. If I don't marry her, I feel like I'm not human!"
Huang Zijuan rolled her eyes at Zhuang Tunan again and said, "Hey, my Tunan, I thought your conscience had been eaten by a dog, but I didn't expect it hadn't been completely eaten yet, there's still hope!"
Xiang Pengfei said to Huang Zijuan, "Sister Zijuan, please don't belittle my brother Tu Nan! Brother Tu Nan is a good person, otherwise Sister-in-law Anna wouldn't have traveled so far to find him!"
"He's changed his mind, so at least he has a conscience. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to talk to him anymore!"
Zhuang Chaoying smoothed things over, saying, "Alright! Alright! Tu Nan has agreed, so Anna is finally satisfied. We can all rest assured that she'll live a good life from now on!"
Huang Zijuan turned to Huang Ling and said, "Aunt, has Brother Tu Nan made up his mind? What about Li Jia?"
Upon hearing the name Li Jia, Xiang Pengfei asked, somewhat puzzled, "Li Jia? What does this have to do with Li Jia?"
Huang Zijuan then turned to Xiang Pengfei and said, "Pengfei, you don't know, the day you left, Li Jia came and begged Tu Nan to get back together. To reject Li Jia, Tu Nan even pretended to propose to Anna, and Anna agreed. But who knew that as soon as Li Jia left, Tu Nan would go back on his word!"
"Oh, so that's what happened! We're getting married, how could Brother Tu Nan have any regrets?"
"you do not know,,!"
Just as Huang Zijuan was about to start nagging about Zhuang Tunan's faults again, Huang Ling quickly said, "Alright, alright, it's all in the past, why bring it up?"
When Huang Zijuan saw Huang Ling stopping her, she knew that some things couldn't be repeated, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about the past. What should we do now? Li Jia will be here to see you again soon with some things, Aunt!"
Xiang Pengfei said, "It's alright, I want to see why Li Jia is being so attentive."
Zhuang Chaoying said, "We'll talk about that later. By the way, Pengfei, how did your dad's surgery go?"
Xiang Pengfei then looked at Zhuang Chaoying and said, "The surgery went smoothly, and you're almost fully recovered now. My mom was worried about you, so she asked me to come back early, afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it all, since your aunt and Brother Tu Nan were both hospitalized at the same time!"
"We're fine here. I'll take care of your aunt, your sister-in-law Anna will take care of Tu Nan, and Dong Zhe will take care of Xiao Ting. We all have people to look after each other, so there's no need to worry too much!"
"Maybe my mom is worried about my aunt's surgery!"
At this moment, Huang Ling said, "Chao Ying, why don't we go back? It wouldn't be good if Li Jia really came to see me and found that I wasn't there!"
Zhuang Chaoying nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back!"
Huang Ling said to Huang Zijuan, "Want to come to my ward with me?"
"I'm not going. I don't want to feel uncomfortable seeing Li Jia!"
Xiang Pengfei said, "If you're not going, I will. I'll go and see what Li Jia is like!"
So Xiang Pengfei and Zhuang Chaoying, one on each side, helped Huang Ling out of the ward.
Since Huang Ling's ward was on the floor below, the three of them went down the corridor to the next floor.
Upon reaching the next floor and exiting the stairwell, he saw Zhao Hujiang emerge from a ward. He looked up and immediately saw Xiang Pengfei, exclaiming, "Oh, Pengfei, you're back!"
