Chapter 124
Shu Lan was afraid that he would spill the medicine, so she held the medicine for him and only gave him the spoon.
Huo An frowned when he smelled the medicine. He felt a little sympathetic for his mother who had to drink such bitter medicine. He scooped a spoonful of medicine and handed it to Luo Chaoyan, smiling obediently, "Mother, drink the medicine!"
Luo Chaoyan pursed her lips, looked up at him, and then looked at the medicine he handed over. Why did she feel that the little fat boy was gloating?
Seeing that she didn't open her mouth, Huo An thought she didn't want to take the medicine, so he put the spoon back into the bowl and advised her earnestly, "Be good, mother, and take the medicine to get better. Otherwise, you can only drink vegetable porridge and can't eat chicken legs."
Why does this sound so familiar? By the way, she also persuaded the fat boy in this way when he didn’t want to take the medicine before.
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him and asked Shu Lan to hand her the medicine.
A short pain is worse than a long one. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, picked up the medicine and drank it directly.
After she finished drinking, Fengli poured her some warm water and asked her to rinse her mouth.
After Huo An saw his mother finish the medicine neatly, he raised his little hand and rubbed her head, saying in a tone of rewarding a child, "Mom is so good!"
As he spoke, he took out a bag of candied dates, found the smallest one, handed it to her mouth, and said with a smile: "Mother, eat it! It's sweet!"
Luo Chaoyan looked at him and said, "Mother took the medicine so obediently, shouldn't she be rewarded with a big pill?"
Huo An looked at the candied dates in the paper bag, then looked at the ones in his hand, and said seriously: "Mother, you can't eat too much when you are sick." Then he put the candied dates in the paper bag away.
The corners of Luo Chaoyan's lips twitched. The little fat boy was so stingy! She opened her mouth and took a bite of the candied date in his hand, chewed it lightly for a few times, looked at Fengli and said, "Fengli, did your uncle send a message saying that he would send me some candy?"
ah? Is this true? Pineapple looked at her in confusion.
Without waiting for her to respond, Huo An held Luo Chaoyan's hand with a flattering look on his face, and then handed all the candied dates in his hand to her, saying: "Mother, you are sick and need to take medicine. This is specially prepared for you by An An."
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Our An An is so well-behaved. Your filial mother has accepted it." Then she took the candied dates from his hand without any hesitation.
"Mother is a little tired, go and play by yourself." The trick was successful!
Huo An blinked, looked at the candied dates in her hand, and swallowed. There was some reluctance in his eyes. He sighed softly, okay, he was fooled by his mother. Never mind, since his mother was sick, he would just be a little adult and not bother with her.
When Huo Jin was at the government office, he heard from a servant that his wife was ill, so he put down what he was doing and rode back on horseback.
He returned to the mansion after noon, and without changing out of his official uniform, he walked quickly toward the inner courtyard.
When he returned to the courtyard where the couple lived and walked in, he saw Luo Chaoyan sitting on the couch by the window, embroidering a handkerchief with needle and thread in her hands.
The scattered sunlight shone through the window faintly, as if it had cast a layer of light on her body. She was less active than usual and more gentle, with a calm face, which made him feel that the years were peaceful.
Luo Chaoyan raised her eyes and saw Huo Jin in his official uniform. She looked out the window, a little confused. It seemed that it was not yet time for him to get off duty.
He walked towards her and sat next to her. He first raised his hand and touched her forehead, then said with a look of disapproval, "Aren't you sick? Why are you still worrying about it?"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. So he rushed back from the government office because he knew she was sick? Okay, she had to admit that she was a little more excited. Although she is not a pretentious person, who wouldn't be happy if someone cares about her?
"My dear, I'm fine." She took the medicine in the morning and sweated a lot, and now she is much better.
"What does the doctor say?" Huo Jin asked.
Luo Chaoyan touched her nose and smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, you just caught a cold as you said. I've taken medicine and I'm fine now."
As she said this she stood up and turned around for him to see.
Huo Jin felt relieved when he saw that she didn't look unwell.
"When you get better, I'll take you for morning exercises."
Luo Chaoyan opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Could he be serious?
Huo Jin said: "Morning exercises can strengthen the body and are beneficial to health and longevity."
Luo Chaoyan's face was full of rejection. She knew that exercise was good for her, but it was impossible for a person like her who was lazy in bed to get up early every day to exercise.
"My dear, I am actually very healthy and rarely get sick, really! This time I just wanted to stay cool. I will be more careful next time, I promise!" So please let me go!
"By the way, my dear, aren't you busy now?" She quickly changed the subject.
Huo Jin nodded and said, "Some."
At this time, Mrs. Huo came in with several maids. She was a little surprised to see her son there.
"Mother!"
The couple stood up and saluted her.
Mrs. Huo smiled and nodded, saying, "Ayan, I brought you some nourishing herbs. When you recover, I'll have someone make some for you to recuperate."
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Thank you, mother!"
Mrs. Huo waved her hand, looked at the young couple, and smiled, "You must take care of yourself. I am looking forward to you adding more children to our Huo family."
Luo Chaoyan's body stiffened when she heard this. Fortunately, she didn't drink the tea, otherwise she would have burst into tears. She has it so hard!
Huo Jin naturally knew that she didn't want to get pregnant for the time being. Although he also looked forward to her accepting him completely and having a child together, he didn't want to force her, so he said, "Mother, the fate of having children will come naturally, we won't force it."
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "This is natural, but it is necessary to regulate your body."
So she patiently told Luo Chaoyan a lot of nourishing methods and precautions, and told her to take care of her health before leaving.
Luo Chaoyan heaved a sigh of relief when she left, and leaned back on the couch with a look of despair on her face. Seeing Huo Jin looking at her intently, her heart skipped a beat. He wouldn't want her to have a baby, would he?
Huo Jin sighed softly, sat down beside her and let her lean on his arms. He raised his chin and gently placed it on the top of her head, saying: "Ayan, you... really don't want to have a child of ours?" In fact, he wanted to ask her if there was already a place for him in her heart.
"I... Huo Jin, well, you know, my mother almost had a dystocia when she gave birth to me, so... so I'm afraid! Can you give me some time?" Luo Chaoyan said.
In ancient times, giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell, and it was said that giving birth was extremely painful. She really wasn't mentally prepared for this.
Huo Jin was happy to see that she did not refuse directly. Maybe she had started to care about him.
"Ayan, I know Xiaorui and An'an like you and accept you, but you are not their biological mother after all. I am afraid that things are unpredictable. If one day I am gone and they treat you badly, I will never forgive myself."
Luo Chaoyan looked up at him and smiled, "No, my dear, you are so good, your sons won't be too bad. I believe that under your influence and guidance, they will definitely become better people."
Huo Jin raised his hand and stroked her black hair, saying, "Am I really as good as you say?"
Luo Chaoyan nodded without hesitation.
Huo Jin kissed her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
