Xia Baozhu suppressed a laugh as she watched Sun Xingyan argue heatedly with his mother.
The family atmosphere is quite good, and Sun Xingyan is also very capable.
She admired him more and more.
After complaining about her son, Sun's mother smiled at Xia Baozhu and said, "My son is a real handful. I'll have to trouble you from now on."
"Okay," Xia Baozhu replied readily.
After Sun's mother left, Sun Xingyan quickly explained, "Baozhu, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. If I were the kind of person she described, I wouldn't be able to stay outside for even a day."
"Yes, I know. I also know your mother doesn't like me. If she liked me, she should be praising you." Xia Baozhu put Pudding on the bedside table and said quietly.
Sun Xingyan's heart clenched: "It's not that I don't like you, it's just that what I said just now upset her."
"What did you say?" Xia Baozhu sat down in the chair, picked up an apple from the fruit plate next to her, and slowly peeled the apple with a peeler.
“I told her I wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, that’s why she got so angry.”
Sun Xingyan was a shrewd man; he knew to draw the blame for his mother's earlier belittling of him onto himself.
"It's not even close to happening yet, why are you telling her this so early?"
"Aren't our birth dates complete? I told them it's only right. Anyway, I can't live without you."
This was also the first time Sun Xingyan had dealt with such a relationship. He didn't know whether he should appease both sides and just wanted to get married as soon as possible.
They chose a crude approach.
He hadn't realized that the marriage wasn't just about him and Xia Baozhu, but also about Xia Baozhu's relationship with his family.
His blunt and brutal approach only made his mother feel that her son had been completely taken away from her.
Xia Baozhu peeled the apple and handed it to Sun Xingyan.
She wasn't worried about whether she could maintain a good relationship with Sun Xingyan's family; she would simply let Sun Xingyan handle things.
She finally found peace and quiet.
Just like the argument between Sun Xingyan and his mother earlier, it's quite amusing as long as it doesn't affect her.
In short, there's no major problem.
"I just finished eating and I'm not hungry yet. Let's cut this apple in half, one half for you and one half for me."
Sun Xingyan handed the apple back.
In the afternoon, Sun Xingyan told Xia Baozhu about the thrilling and fun things that happened in the Great Bear Kingdom. He had written about some of them in his letters, but he wanted to tell them again.
Xia Baozhu would occasionally talk about what had happened in the past year.
Upon hearing that Xia Baozhu had become a fashion model, Sun Xingyan asked her to bring the magazines, including the ones where she had published articles, the next day.
“Baozhu, now that you’re free, let’s go out together from now on.” Sun Xingyan stared intently at Xia Baozhu, his expression full of anticipation.
"Are you going out again?" Xia Baozhu raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, things have just gone smoothly over there, so it should be fine to do it for another two years."
As someone who loves making big money, Sun Xingyan was naturally unwilling to let go of the easy money he had.
If he hadn't been so eager to come back and see Xia Baozhu, and to let his family know he was safe, he might have actually stayed for three years.
"I'm sorry, the store can't be completely separated. It needs to be adjusted frequently because my goal is to make it a national chain."
Opening a store is not an easy task, especially a chain store. Building a brand requires a lot of hard work, and she is still exploring the process.
Of course, she would earn a lot of money if she went out, but she didn't want to follow Sun Xingyan completely; she had her own things to do.
Sun Xingyan focused on his trading business, while she focused on her physical businesses; both of them were able to make progress.
She couldn't stop Sun Xingyan from going out, and Sun Xingyan wouldn't stop her ambition either.
She hopes they can all achieve great things.
“I was being inconsiderate,” Sun Xingyan said, looking at Xia Baozhu. “Before I leave, can we get our marriage certificate first?”
"no."
Xia Baozhu glared at him. This was nothing; she hadn't even entered the dating phase yet, and he was already talking about marriage.
"When are we getting married?" Sun Xingyan pressed.
"When I want to get married."
Xia Baozhu didn't even want to talk to him.
She even suspected that she might have promised Sun Xingyan something a long time ago, which was why he proposed to her the moment they met.
Xia Baozhu always felt that marriage was something far away from her.
She didn't feel any romantic atmosphere with Sun Xingyan. Apart from agreeing to be his girlfriend, things were no different from before.
There is still a big difference; Sun Xingyan in the past would not have pressed her about her marriage like this.
She must have acted impulsively that morning to agree to his request.
Sun Xingyan noticed Xia Baozhu's displeasure and cautiously asked, "Do you find me annoying?"
"What do you think?" Xia Baozhu glanced at him sideways.
"I think I'm doing alright, I'm quite popular."
"Hehe, it is indeed quite popular."
Xia Baozhu suddenly thought of some of the photos of Sun Xingyan being kissed by beautiful women.
She sneered and stood up: "I'm going to pick up the kids from school. I'll have Xiao Zheng come over to keep you company later."
Sun Xingyan's IV drip has finished and he no longer needs anyone to watch over him.
Xia Baozhu could no longer do something as awkward as accompanying him to the men's restroom, so she simply asked San Gou to come and keep him company.
"Back so soon?" Sun Xingyan thought Xia Baozhu had only been there a short while. He picked up his watch, which showed 4:30.
"Hmm, what would you like to eat? I'll have Xiao Zheng bring it to you."
"Make me a bowl of noodles," Sun Xingyan suggested at the opportune moment.
"Okay, I'll head back then."
Watching Xia Baozhu disappear through the door without looking back, Sun Xingyan reflected on whether he had said anything wrong. He sensed that Xia Baozhu seemed a little angry.
Was he pushing me too hard?
"Xiao Zheng, I'm going to pick Nan Nan up from school. Make a bowl of plain noodles and take it to Sun Xingyan later."
"Plain noodles? Sister Xia, are you sure? Sun Xingyan is picky about food; he can't eat noodles like this."
"The doctor told him to eat something light. He already had ribs for lunch, so it's good to change things up. Also, you should say that I made it for him."
Xia Baozhu finished speaking and left.
"Did Brother Sun offend Sister Xia? Serves him right! I knew his foul mouth would cause trouble."
San Gou cooked a pot of plain noodles and served it in an insulated lunchbox.
After hesitating for a moment, he still took a serving of braised pork, plus a serving of pickled cowpeas and cucumbers from the summer, which he cut into small pieces.
"Why is it plain noodles?" Several of Sun Xingyan's friends came to his hospital room; they had all come to visit him after work.
“Yeah, San Gou, you’re giving Xing Yan this? At least make him some bone broth,” Shui Luoyang said, dissatisfied.
"Sister Xia asked me to deliver this." San Gou didn't explain that there were vegetables at the bottom of the lunchbox; he wanted to see Sun Xingyan's reaction.
"Xiao Shui, Xiao Feng, Xiao Zheng, are you all here?" Sun Xingzhi came in carrying a lunchbox. He was there to deliver food to his younger brother, and he was also there to keep him company in the evening.
"Xingyan, Mom made dumplings for you. Eat a few more later. Oh? You've already eaten. What did you eat?"
