Han Xu drove the car into the supermarket's underground parking lot and slowly stopped it. Lin Dan was about to open the car door, but he stopped her: "Wait a minute, I'll check something."
"Okay." Lin Dan didn't ask him what he was looking for, but just sat there quietly waiting.
Han Xu opened Baidu on his phone and saw the content he browsed yesterday about how to take care of the body after a miscarriage. He felt as if things had changed. Before today, he had thought: How great it would be if Lin Dan could give birth to the child? His brother Wang Jun can at least have a bloodline, and the Wang family can at least retain the last glimmer of hope. However, when this idea finally became a reality, he found that he could not be happy at all, because this hope was built on Lin Dan's sacrifice. When this seed of hope sprouts and grows into a towering tree one day, no one will know that Lin Dan's future and dream are buried at its roots.
She used everything she had to nourish this hope and to help the two elderly people, but why should she make these sacrifices? Thinking of his friend who passed away suddenly, Han Xu felt compassion, but was also angry at his irresponsibility and ashamed of his prejudice. If he hadn't preconceived that Lin Dan was not a good woman, he would not have advised his friend to separate from her temporarily.
Facts have proved that Lin Dan is a very good person. She is diligent, hardworking, motivated, and responsible. She looks aloof on the surface, but she is very soft-hearted at heart. If he had seen this side of her earlier, he would never have said those meaningless words. It was his narrow-mindedness that harmed his good friend and Lin Dan. He should bear at least 50% of the responsibility for how things have developed to this point.
Han Xu suppressed her self-blame and carefully read some information on how pregnant women should take care of themselves. She also downloaded a list of ingredients suitable for pregnant women on her mobile phone.
"Okay, get in." Ten minutes later, he opened the car door, walked around to the other end and carefully supported Lin Dan.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Lin Dan was not used to his sudden attentiveness.
"If I don't care about you, who else will?" Han Xu sighed.
"Thank you." Lin Dan said sincerely. She had already given all her money to the nursing home and kept only a few thousand dollars for herself. She thought that after the abortion she would at least be able to find a part-time job and save enough money for a plane ticket to go abroad, but she didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly. Now there are two elderly people who need her care, and there is a baby in her belly. She really has no idea what to do in the future. If Han Xu hadn't arranged everything for her, she wouldn't even have a place to stay. It was obviously inappropriate to live in the dormitory after being pregnant, and her classmates at school did not seem friendly to her.
Lin Dan was filled with fatigue. The weight on her shoulders was like a mountain, pressing down on her head. Fortunately, she was strong by nature, otherwise she would have been crushed by now. She walked into the elevator and straightened her back out of habit, but Han Xu reached out his hand to support her silently, saying softly, "Don't worry, I will take care of you and the child from now on."
"Thank you." Apart from this sentence, Lin Dan really didn't know what to say.
Han Xu shook his head, speechless for a moment.
Lin Dan bought some fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, while Han Xu moved several large boxes of milk and local eggs. When passing by a pharmacy, he also bought some folic acid and calcium tablets. Seeing him coming back with a lot of bags, Lin Dan was very surprised and couldn't help but chuckled and said, "You seem to understand a lot."
In fact, these were all the knowledge that she had just made up. As Lin Dan grew older, there would be a lot more for her to learn. Han Xu's cheeks turned slightly red, but he didn't explain anything. From then on, it was his responsibility to take care of Lin Dan and the child. Although Lin Dan was very strong and independent, for some reason, he just couldn't abandon her.
"The house is too small. You live here first. I'll ask someone to find a bigger house." After opening the door, Han Xu frowned as he looked at the apartment of more than 30 square meters.
Lin Dan thought it was great and quickly waved her hand: "No, this is spacious enough for me to live in alone." The decoration here was just as luxurious and exquisite, no worse than the house she had sold before. To be honest, not to mention that she lives alone, it would be enough even if she had a child in the future.
"It's too small. I'll have to hire a nanny for you. There won't be enough space." Han Xu took off his suit jacket and slowly rolled up his sleeves. "You sit down and rest. I'll go cook."
"Can you cook?" Lin Dan once again looked at Han Xu with admiration.
"I have lived alone in boarding school since I was ten years old, and I can take care of myself just fine." Han Xu walked into the kitchen to wash and cut vegetables.
Lin Dan stood at the door and looked at him, and all the fatigue in her heart disappeared. To be honest, she could face all of this alone, but the feeling of having someone by your side is different from fighting alone.
Han Xu took out a bottle of milk and handed it to her, saying, "Drink milk every day. I'll take you to the hospital for another checkup tomorrow and ask the doctor what else you need to pay attention to. I want to rent you a bigger house near the hospital so that you can have prenatal checkups in the future. Don't go to the lab anymore, it's not good for the baby. By the way, you haven't been exposed to any chemicals in the past two months, right?"
Lin Dan thought of those experiments and couldn't help but feel worried.
Seeing her furrowed brows, Han Xu's nervous expression immediately relaxed, and he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay, we'll go ask the doctor tomorrow. It's only been two months, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Lin Dan said guiltily.
"It's my duty." Han Xu turned around, looked at the chicken on the chopping board, and couldn't help but sigh silently.
After drinking the milk, Lin Dan put the chicken that Han Xu had chopped into the casserole and marinated it for a while. Then, he added the seasoning packet and simmered it on the gas stove over low heat. One of them washed and cut the vegetables, while the other cooked them. They were very efficient and finished dinner in half an hour.
Han Xu tasted Lin Dan's cooking for the first time and couldn't help but be stunned. He finally understood why every time Lin Dan brought food to Wang Jun, Zhou Da and Qian Li would rush downstairs to get it. It turned out that her cooking skills were so good. Thinking back to when Wang Jun vowed that he must try Lin Dan’s dishes, otherwise he would regret it, he scoffed at the time, but now he realizes what he has missed.
Wang Jun was right. He really regretted it. If he had gotten rid of those ridiculous prejudices earlier and gotten to know Lin Dan more seriously, things would not have developed to this point. Thinking of this, Han Xu felt even more guilty and could only keep picking up food for Lin Dan to make up for it.
After dinner, Han Xu sent Lin Dan back to her room to rest, while he cleaned the table, washed the dishes, and finally mopped the living room. After finishing the housework, he sat on the sofa in a daze, his mind full of Lin Dan's figure. She was truly a mystery to him. When he thought he knew her very well, he discovered that it was all an illusion. When he got to know her more deeply, he discovered that she had a vast inner world waiting for him to explore.
Gold digger? Han Xu smiled bitterly, completely unaware of how he had viewed people in the first place. He took out his cell phone and prepared to call his subordinates to ask about the company's situation, but he saw a news headline appear on the screen, the title of which was "Death of Ruifeng's Young Master - Romantic Luck or Romantic Disaster? 》
Han Xu subconsciously thought of Lin Dan, and immediately opened the page and read it carefully. His expression changed from tired to angry, and finally filled with hostility. The news editor described the scene of Uncle Wang jumping off the building in a sensational way, and attached a short video clip, which was the scene where Lin Dan said, "I am Wang Jun's girlfriend and I am pregnant."
The editor then analyzed: [According to the author's investigation, this Miss Lin and Wang Shaodong are indeed in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. In order to pursue Miss Lin, Wang Shaodong gave her countless gifts, including luxury brand clothes and bags, and a mansion. Miss Lin's demands were insatiable, so much so that Wang Shaodong became fed up with her and wanted to break up with her. The fact that he committed suicide for love with another girl must have been related to the aggressiveness and careful planning of Miss Lin. Now that Miss Lin is pregnant, what is she trying to get from Wang Zhaokun? Two relationships, two women, one was a romantic disaster, the other was a bad fate, Wang Shaodong's fate is really regrettable. It is better to keep your eyes open when looking for a girlfriend. 】
Many netizens left comments under this news, and the screen was full of disgusting insults. There were also so-called insiders who revealed how materialistic Lin Dan was and how she pestered Wang Jun and refused to let go, which led to the other party's desperate situation. However, as soon as someone mentions Ouyang Xue, the comment will be deleted immediately.
Han Xu's blood boiled when he saw this, and he suddenly thought of Lin Dan. He quickly opened the door to check on her and found that she had fallen asleep and was not playing with her phone. He then breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see others criticizing Wang Jun, but compared with the reputation of a living person, what was the reputation after death? Lin Dan and the child are the most important, everything else comes second.
With this in mind, he called a journalist friend and asked him to issue a press release to clarify the false rumors on the Internet.
"I don't report fake news. If you ask me to write a hymn, I have to investigate the person involved, right?" the friend said cautiously.
"I'll give you some clues, go check them out." Han Xu sent over Lin Dan's relevant information.
More than an hour later, the journalist friend called and sighed deeply, "Old Han, Wang Jun is such a bad guy. He is willing to let down such a good woman. If it were me, I would have treated her like a treasure. If my girlfriend had been half as good as Lin Dan, I wouldn't have run away from Canada. What's wrong with this world? Good women never meet good men, and good men never meet good women. They are all ruined by scumbags! You shouldn't have let Lin Dan give birth to the child. You are too selfish. Do you know what she lost?"
"Of course I know." Han Xu's eyes were red, and he barely suppressed his trembling voice and continued, "This is her decision. It's too late for me to persuade her. If she doesn't say it, Uncle Wang and Aunt Xue will have no hope of survival. Selfish people can have many choices, but for Lin Dan, she has no choice. She can't get over it."
"What is going on? God is so unfair!" The friend hung up the phone angrily.
Han Xu covered his exhausted face and fell into a long silence.
