Chapter 719: Chapter 719: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat Chapter 719: Chapter 719: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat Luo Qiao checked on the two children and found no significant problems. She felt relieved and left the delivery room with a little nurse, each holding a child.
When the door to the delivery room opened, the Zheng family crowded around to look at the children, while most of the Luo family members were more concerned about looking inside the delivery room. The great aunt anxiously asked, “Qiaoqiao, how is your Sister Jialin doing?”
Luo Qiao smiled lightly and said, “She’s fine, just a bit weak. She’ll be out soon.”
It wasn’t long before Luo Jialin was wheeled out of the delivery room. In front of the family, the doctor said, “She suffered a great deal, nearly losing three lives. If it hadn’t been for her cousin here, things might not have turned out so well today. She’s out of danger now, but she needs to rest and recover properly.”
Although the female doctor was reluctant to admit it, it was true that had it not been for this young woman, they might have lost lives today. The help she provided in the delivery room was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
The Luo family all breathed a sigh of relief and then turned their attention to the children.
At the same time that the Zheng family relaxed, they knew the Luo family wouldn’t let the matter rest.
Indeed, once everything was settled in the hospital room, Zhou Guifang said, “Mother-to-be, you should go home now. Everyone has been up all night. We can discuss anything else tomorrow.”
It was already daybreak, and Hao Xiuyue said, “Auntie, you go back and rest. Let the in-laws go back too. Zhiyuan and I will stay here. I’ve already sent those two useless daughters-in-law back home to make porridge and chicken soup.”
Zhou Guifang didn’t insist further. She arranged for her family to go back home to rest, especially instructing her eldest son and second grandson, who had donated blood, to take the day off and rest at home.
Luo Qiao checked her cousin’s pulse again, who had passed out, and after making sure there were no problems, she said goodbye to her grandmother and left the hospital with Lu Yichen.
Checking the time, Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao, “We’re not far from the public security bureau’s family pound. Once you’ve rested, we can go buy gifts.”
Luo Qiao was indeed tired, and it wasn’t practical to travel all the way back to the second courtyard. Previously, following Luo Qiao’s wishes, Lu Yichen had the apartment that was assigned to him renovated and redecorated.
Upon entering the family pound, they ran into Auntie Liu, who was getting ready to head to the morning market. Her husband was the political department director Liu Qingsong. Lu Yichen greeted her, “Auntie Liu, are you heading out?”
“Yes, Deputy Director Lu, and who is this lady?”
She had previously been helping her son and taking care of her grandson, so she genuinely didn’t recognize Luo Qiao.
“This is my fiancée Luo Qiao.”
“Hello, Auntie.”
“Ah, good, good, good! I’ve long heard that Deputy Director Lu’s fiancée is a beautiful girl, and now I finally see you in person. What brings you here?”
“Her cousin gave birth to twins at the hospital this morning, and she stayed up all night. Auntie, we’re going to head back now,” Lu Yichen said.
“Ah, right, go and rest,” Auntie Liu replied.
“Goodbye, Auntie Liu.”
“Such a well-mannered one,” Auntie Liu murmured, still smiling as she watched their retreating figures and whispered, “Truly a handsome couple.”
After freshening up a bit, Luo Qiao went to lie down and rest. Meanwhile, Lu Yichen made some porridge, stewed some egg custard, and then went to a breakfast stand to buy some steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks.
On his way back, he encountered Chief Xie’s wife, Qian Xiue, and her niece, Qian Caihong. Lu Yichen acknowledged them with a nod, which counted as a greeting.
Qian Caihong’s gaze hadn’t moved from Lu Yichen, and the hand clinging to her aunt’s arm involuntarily tightened. Qian Xiue was well aware of her niece’s thoughts, but Deputy Director Lu was already betrothed, which was mon knowledge in the bureau.
Especially since his fiancée was a university student, pretty, and reportedly from a decent family background, her niece didn’t stand a chance. So she quickly greeted him and hurriedly pulled her niece away to avoid being a laughingstock.
Many in the family pound knew of her niece’s crush on Deputy Director Lu, and they had been the subject of much teasing, saying that her niece was a toad longing for swan meat, with the swan being Deputy Director Lu, of course.
Lu Yichen didn’t concern himself with what others were thinking. Carrying his purchases, he hurried home, eager to have Luo Qiao eat breakfast before going back to sleep.
