Capítulo 792: Chapter 533: Reconciliation
Second Watch.
————–
“Yes, I told Zhou Zhongkang about your family situation when you were in school…” i Yitong smiled helplessly, “If it were anyone else from your family, he probably wouldn’t believe it, so only I could say it.”
“What kind of riddles are you playing?” Chuxia sized them up, puzzled, “Can you communicate like normal people and not make feel like I’m an outsider?”
“Are you trying to understand your husband’s growing up experience?” i Yitong looked at her amused, “If you want to know, just ask directly, why go around in circles?”
Chuxia shrugged her shoulders: “You’re overthinking it. I’m not going around in circles; I just don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Really? You don’t understand?”
“Of course it’s true.” Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, “Do I look like soone who’s inconsistent inside and out?”
“Alright, I’ll admit I wronged you, but…” i Yitong looked at Zhou Zhongkang, “It’s one thing that she doesn’t want to know, and another thing if you don’t tell her.
When you have free ti in the evening, tell her your past experiences in detail; it’s beneficial for your marital relationship.”
Zhou Mikang: “…”
Lin Chuxia: “…”
This guy can’t even figure out his own feelings, yet he’s lecturing others, seriously…
Zhou Mikang and Chuxia’s speechless expressions made i Yitong laugh unwillingly: “Can you not show such tacit understanding and ridicule this loner?” Then he turned serious, “Seriously, I won’t tell the family about Xiao Feng’s matters for now. When their relationship is stable enough and my parents can’t oppose it, then it won’t be too late to reveal.”
Zhou Mikang looked at him blandly: “When we t earlier, I already thanked you for this matter. Did you not understand?”
“I understood, but I repeated it to reassure you, so you know how to report to the family.” i Yitong said, rolling his eyes at him, “You know, if you make wild guesses, I don’t have to admit it? Sending you evidence deliberately, yet you still complain; truly biting the hand that feeds you.”
“Okay, it’s all my fault.” Zhou Mikang suddenly smiled at soone behind him, “Yoon Duo, are you on night duty today?”
i Yitong quickly turned around, and indeed, the face of his ex-wife ca into view.
Chuxia curiously observed Yoon Duo. She’d heard about Yoon Duo and i Yitong’s marriage and knew their divorce was due to incompatible personalities, not irreconcilable differences.
Originally, she thought Yoon Duo would be the academically sound, plain-looking type, but seeing her now, she realized she was way off. The lady was actually a delicate southern belle.
Petite fra, oval face, fair skin, and big eyes full of charm. As a woman, even she couldn’t help but look twice, let alone n?
Thinking this, she couldn’t resist sneaking a glance at i Yitong and noticed his expression was slightly stiff.
“This is my wife Lin Chuxia.” Zhou Mikang introduced them, “Chuxia, this is Yoon Duo, your sister Jiping’s good friend.”
“Hello, Sister Duoduo.” Because she felt an affinity with her, Chuxia greeted warmly. Yoon Duo smiled bashfully, “I should be calling you sister-in-law, even though you’re younger, marrying Third Brother Zhou puts you in a senior rank.”
“No problem, we each call what feels right. I just feel a connection with you and truly want to call you Sister Duoduo.”
“Third Brother Zhou, I like your wife.” Yoon Duo looked at Zhou Mikang, “I used to think when Jiping said it, she boosted your family’s image, but now I see she was right; you did find the perfect girl for you.”
Over ti, Chuxia had learned not to take such words too seriously. They were just pleasantries, so when she heard it, she didn’t feel any particular way, and naturally couldn’t feign shyness.
But in Yoon Duo’s eyes, it was particularly fascinating. Typically, wouldn’t one act embarrassed when praised directly?
Nonetheless, she liked this straightforward girl, so she warmly took her hand: “Let’s play together during the New Year, and bring Jiping along.”
“Sure.” Chuxia nodded, agreeing.
“I just saw Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou are here, so I ca to check in.” Yoon Duo smiled at them as she walked into the ward.
By now, everyone had exchanged enough courtesies and was ready to leave. Upon seeing her enter, i Xiaofeng, who was half-reclining, was taken aback and instinctively looked outside, wanting to see her brother’s reaction.
Yoon Duo first greeted Old Master Zhou, Old Madam Zhou, and Lin Yanqiu, then walked over to i Xiaofeng’s bedside: “Xiao Feng, even though I didn’t co by earlier, I’ve been keeping an eye on your recovery. You’re not holding it against , right?”
“No, not at all.” i Xiaofeng shook her head repeatedly, “Sister-in-law specifically notified my brother, which ans she’s been concerned about , I know it.”
“In the future, don’t call sister-in-law anymore, call Sister Duoduo instead.” Yoon Duo’s face turned red with embarrassnt, “I’m getting married, and if your future brother-in-law hears, he might not feel comfortable.”
“Duoduo is getting married?” Old Madam Zhou smiled at her, “Who’s the lucky guy? Why don’t you bring him over to et Grandpa and Grandma?”
Yoon Duo scratched her head awkwardly, “He’s just from an ordinary family. If he knew about Grandpa and Grandma’s status, he’d definitely be too nervous to speak.”
“We’re not going to eat him, what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, he’s going to et us sooner or later, so why be shy?” Old Madam Zhou shook her head as she spoke, “It’s not good for young n to be too timid.”
Yoon Duo looked troubled and said, “In a few days, I’ll help him get ntally prepared, and then I’ll bring him to visit Grandpa and Grandma.”
Since she said that, Old Madam Zhou didn’t insist further. In truth, she hoped that Yoon Duo and i Yitong could get back together, which was why she deliberately wanted to et him.
After all, Yoon Duo was soone she watched grow up, and of course, she hoped she would be happy. Last week, when she saw Yoon Duo’s grandma, she hadn’t heard about this, so she felt a bit uneasy.
Chuxia had been observing Yoon Duo and whispered in Zhou Mikang’s ear, “Judging by her personality, she should get along well with Big Brother i. How co they couldn’t make it work?”
“Whether shoes fit or not, only the person wearing them knows best. I also thought they were a match made in heaven at first, but in reality, they just couldn’t make it work together.
i Yitong’s explanation was that they had no common topics, and it felt awkward to be together. Yoon Duo’s viewpoint was the sa as i Yitong’s.
When they divorced back then, the parents were against it too, but both insisted on the separation, saying that spending a lifeti together without being able to communicate was a tragedy.
In the end, the parents had to relent. But after the divorce, i Yitong never talked about relationships again, so we all thought he still had feelings for Yoon Duo. But now it seems…” Zhou Mikang shook his head, “He’s interested, but she’s not.”
While saying this, Zhou Mikang didn’t lower his voice, so i Yitong heard it clearly and straightforwardly protested, “Don’t look so regretful. I’m genuinely happy for Yoon Duo finding a compatible man. We really didn’t have common topics. She likes dicine, and I like the military. She didn’t understand what I said, and I didn’t understand what she said. We genuinely couldn’t connect.
As for why I haven’t dated, it’s not that I can’t let go of this relationship. It’s just that I don’t want to hurt another girl without knowing them well.”
Chuxia pursed her lips, “How do you know you’ll get hurt before trying?”
“You and Xiao Feng say the sa thing, but for , the trying happens when I et a woman who truly moves and makes want to marry her for life. Until I et soone who moves , I won’t try.”
Zhou Mikang sympathetically patted him, “I hope you’ll find soone who moves you in this lifeti.”
i Yitong glanced over, “I certainly will. If you could find love, I surely have no problem.”
“Why are there so many people here?”
Following the voice, Chuxia happily waved her hand, “Sister Yuan Hui.”
“Lin Chuxia?” Yuan Hui was montarily surprised, then glanced at the people around her, “Are you relatives of the patient?”
“Yes.” Chuxia responded and added, “Is Sister Yuan Hui the attending physician for my sister-in-law?”
“Yes.” Yuan Hui nodded, “You’re saying the female patient inside is your sister-in-law?”
“My cousin’s wife.” Chuxia pointed at Zhou Mikang beside her, “This is my husband, Zhou Mikang.”
“Hello, Commander Zhou.” Yuan Hui greeted. She naturally knew of Zhou Mikang, but she had never t him, and she certainly didn’t associate Zhou Zhongkang with the Zhou family. Otherwise, her reaction would have been different.
“Hello, hello.” Zhou Mikang quickly stepped aside to let her in.
Seeing so many people in the room, Yuan Hui frowned, “The patient still needs rest. You should take turns to visit. Don’t let her be overwheld by too many people at once.”
“Yes, yes, yes, we’ll leave shortly. By the way, are you the attending doctor for Xiao Feng?” Lin Yanqiu, who was closest, took her hand and shook it forcefully, “Thank you so much for your care over these days.”
“It’s my duty.” Yuan Hui’s attitude softened, so i Xiaofeng felt embarrassed to scold anymore. She stepped forward to check the data, “You can be discharged tomorrow. After going ho, make sure to rest and pay attention to nutrition.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The whole room responded, and Yuan Hui felt a headache coming on as she rubbed her forehead, “Leave two people for care, and the others should leave. The patient can’t handle all this noise.”
Originally, everyone was going to leave, but upon hearing her say this and after a little discussion, they decided to let Liang Xiaohong and Wang Lei stay to help take care of the patient while the others left.
With a flurry of departures, the room suddenly felt spacious, and Zhou Zhongkang was sent back to rest. i Xiaofeng wasn’t too familiar with her mother-in-law, and as for Wang Lei, she was even less familiar, so the three of them sat there in awkward silence.
