Capítulo 996: Chapter 675: Good News
The second watch has arrived.
—————–
Yu Tao is already more than four months pregnant, Wang Lei two months, and now with Chuxia added to the mix, this is the happiest news for the Zhou family. It’s been many years since the family has had any new additions, and now they’re expecting three at once. Could there be anything more joyous?
Old Master Zhou stood up and suggested that everyone celebrate the Zhou family’s thriving lineage with a toast.
Except for i Xiaofeng, everyone was all smiles. During the toast, she discreetly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She wasn’t envious of Chuxia; she was just reminded of her lost baby and couldn’t help but feel sad.
Moreover, after spending ti with Chuxia these days, she had truly grown fond of her personality.
In fact, she herself was the type to warm up to those she found agreeable and ignore those she didn’t. She felt that they really got along well.
But precisely because of this, seeing the other having a baby made her particularly downhearted.
It was a very complex emotion.
Zhou Zhongkang noticed his wife’s low spirits and quietly took her hand, giving it a firm squeeze.
i Xiaofeng turned her head and smiled at him, reassuring him.
After the al, i Xiaofeng approached Chuxia with a sincere expression to congratulate her and apologize. “Chuxia, just now, I had a mont where I thought of my lost child and didn’t look too well. I don’t know if you noticed, but I must explain to you that I’m genuinely happy for you. Please don’t misunderstand.”
“I know, we’ve been together long enough that I understand your character. I won’t misunderstand,” Chuxia said, pulling her to sit down, “Don’t be too sad either. Didn’t the doctor say that after more than half a year, you can try for a baby again? So now, you need to focus on taking good care of yourself and preparing to have a healthy baby.”
“Yeah.” i Xiaofeng nodded vigorously. “I know, it’s just when I see you all about to beco mothers, I think of how I lost my chance to be a mother because I was reckless.
From now on, I won’t do anything extre again. You know, people always pay for their impulsiveness. Chuxia, when you and Third Brother have little quarrels, you should also be careful not to act impulsively.”
“Okay,” Chuxia nodded, indicating that she had taken her words to heart.
“I’m sorry, I know you wouldn’t do that, I… I…” Realizing that her previous words were a bit discouraging, i Xiaofeng hurriedly explained, “I was just rambling, don’t take it to heart.”
“I’ve only been ho for a few days, and you’re so formal with ?” Chuxia teased her with a smile. “If we don’t live together often in the future, will you revert to your old attitude toward ?”
“Of course not…” i Xiaofeng chuckled, “I don’t even know what’s gotten into , oh well, I won’t explain. You already understand. What’s there to obsess over.
Oh, by the way, I have so good news for you, Yoon Duo got married, and my brother was there, and he actually t a girl he liked at Yoon Duo’s wedding. They’re doing quite well now.”
“Really?” Chuxia was all smiles upon hearing this news. She had a good impression of i Yitong, and was genuinely happy for him to find soone he liked so soon.
“Yes, it’s quite the destiny. You know, my brother and sister-in-law have been on good terms even after the divorce, so she sent an invitation to my brother.
Initially, my brother was hesitant to go, after all, he was the ex-husband, and he feared her current husband might mind. But in the end, it was her current husband who approached my brother and asked him to co.
My brother felt awkward going alone, so he took with him. The girl sat at our table. I didn’t think much of it at the ti, but a couple of days later, my brother told he had a girlfriend, and it was that girl from the sa table. I was shocked and asked him when he got involved with her since I had no idea.
Then he told that at the wedding, he just thought the girl was nice, but had no other intentions. But the next day, he went to another friend’s wedding, and again ended up at the sa table with her. Both felt it was quite a coincidence, so they chatted more. The girl was straightforward, directly asking my brother if he wanted to date her.
My brother told her he had been married before and that the previous wedding he attended was his ex-wife’s. She didn’t mind at all, and just like that, they confird their relationship.
I think my brother might be getting married soon. Because of this, the elders in the family have forgiven and Zhou Zhongkang, and they are planning to hold a wedding ceremony for us too.”
“That’s wonderful, isn’t it a double blessing for your family?” Chuxia was sincerely happy for i Xiaofeng. Though she said she didn’t mind, she always regretted not receiving her family’s blessing. Now everything was resolved, and things were looking up.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect things would be resolved so smoothly either…” i Xiaofeng blushed as she looked at Chuxia, “Actually, I’ve always envied your wedding. Now, I can finally be officially married too. I am so, so happy!”
Chuxia congratulated her again and added, “Generally speaking, if the elders disagree, it’s often because they don’t have confidence in the youngsters’ relationship. As long as they see you’ve made the right choice, they will definitely support you.”
“I’m really grateful too. If he had kept his old stubborn ways, it would have been hard for us to be happy together. Luckily, after that incident, he seed like a changed person.
So, I’m pretty content with how things are. Tough tis first, sweet tis later is better than the other way around. But people often aren’t satisfied. I was happy with his change and the blessings from my family.
However, when I found out you were going to be a mom, I couldn’t help but feel sad about the baby I lost. I even quietly blad him a bit. Ah, people, it’s so easy to ss up if we’re not careful. Later, I need to remind myself not to make the sa mistakes again. Will you keep an eye on , okay?”
Chuxia laughed and agreed, “Okay, whenever I can see you, I’ll remind you.”
That evening, after returning to their room, Chuxia told Zhou Mikang about what she heard from i Xiaofeng.
“Old i is quite fast, huh? Are you curious about what kind of girlfriend he found?” Knowing his wife well, Zhou Mikang looked at her with amusent, “Why not ask i Xiaofeng? What’s the girl’s na, what does she do? You might even know her.”
Chuxia blinked her big eyes sheepishly, “She didn’t say, and I was too shy to ask, afraid she might not know and feel embarrassed. But I am really curious. Don’t you think this kind of fate is fascinating?”
“Alright, tomorrow I’ll find out for you, okay?”
“Hehe…” Chuxia contentedly gave him a kiss on the forehead, “So sweet.”
Zhou Mikang: “…”
No need for Zhou Mikang to ask around, the next day i Yitong showed up himself, dropping by to deliver invitations to the whole family.
Full of curiosity, Chuxia leaned in to peek at the invitation, her eyes suddenly went wide… she definitely knew her!
During the days Chuxia’s family returned to their hotown, Elder Wan went to the Capital City, and Sister-in-law Yin went back to her parents’ ho. As a result, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, being the closest to them, felt a bit uneasy. Though they got along with others, common topics were limited, and just sitting around during the holiday season with nothing to do was sowhat torturous.
Old Madam Zhou, being attentive, noticed the couple’s unease, but she wasn’t upset. After all, due to differences in life background and so on, expecting the couple to beco close family with no secrets between them in such a short ti was impossible. Once Chuxia has a baby, they will naturally grow closer.
Old Madam Zhou turned to Chuxia, “Sumr, during the days you were back in your hotown, Grandpa Jing and Grandma Jing ca over asking when you’d be back. Do you want to go see them?”
“Alright, Grandma, we’ll go right now.” Noting Old Madam Zhou’s use of “you” and glancing at how her parents were sitting, Chuxia understood the old lady’s intention. She walked over to Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, “Dad, Mom, shall we go visit Grandpa and Grandma Jing?”
“Yes, yes, let’s do that.” Lin Baohe quickly stood up, responding eagerly, finding it harder to sit idly than to do any work.
Zhao Yulan moved beside Old Madam Zhou, gratefully saying, “Auntie, thank you. It’s just that we didn’t have much to add to the conversation, but we really consider you and Uncle like our parents.”
“Child, don’t be formal with us. I understand, I really do…” Old Madam Zhou waved her hand at her, “Go on, Chuxia also needs to move around more. In a bit, let Xiaomi find you all, so we can go to the hospital together.”
Yesterday it had been decided that today they’d take Chuxia to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital for an examination. If i Yitong hadn’t arrived, they would have set out by now.
Zeng ili was also at the Jing Family’s house. Seeing Chuxia’s family entering, she enthusiastically greeted them and called inside, “Grandpa, Grandma, Mom and Dad, look who’s here?”
Zhu Xinqin breezed out like a gust of wind, warmly grabbing Zhao Yulan’s hand, “Sister, how was your stay back ho?” As she spoke, she glanced at Chuxia, “Xiao Chuxia, you don’t look very well, didn’t you rest enough?”
At this mont, Jing Zhe just ca out of the room. Hearing this, he seriously scrutinized Chuxia and suddenly grabbed her wrist, placing his fingers onto it.
Zeng ili bit her lip a little uneasily.
“Did you know, about the pregnancy?” Jing Zhe frowned as he asked Chuxia.
“Just found out, we checked at the hospital in our hotown.” Chuxia quickly replied. She knew Jing Zhe had so expertise in this area; if it wasn’t for that, Ye iru wouldn’t have sought him last ti after her miscarriage. Seeing his solemn expression, she felt a bit tense, “Big Brother, is there a problem?” (To be continued.
