Since Xiang Sihuai's death, Du Kang has been coming to Xiang Xiaochuang's apartment more and more often. He always wants to buy things for Xiang Xiaochuang, with a kind smile on his face, which makes Xiang Xiaochuang feel sad.
There were only a few gray hairs on his temples, but now most of them have turned gray.
Maybe he himself doesn't know the status of Xiang Sihuai in his heart.
"Xiao Chuang, my father's life has been really confusing..." Du Kang would sometimes be in a trance, "I don't even know whether I like Shen Bi or Si Huai."
Xiang Xiaochuang always makes new Longjing tea, and Du Kang always drinks Oolong tea. He says that Longjing has a special fragrance, which is very clear.
"Is the due date going to be spring?" Du Kang's eyes fell on her big belly, with a touch of kindness on his lips.
Xiang Xiaochuang was a little lost in thought, holding a small sweater in his hand. When he came to his senses, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Jiawen said that he would accompany me to have an ultrasound in two days. See if it’s a boy or a girl.”
Having lost his initial shyness, Xiang Xiaochuang actually had a maternal glow when talking about the child in his belly.
"You and Jiawen's marriage... should be settled as soon as possible!" Du Kang suddenly sighed.
Xiang Xiaochuang paused while tying the sweater, not expecting that he would take the initiative to mention the marriage. He smiled faintly, started to work with the needle and thread again, and asked casually: "How..."
"We can't let the child be born. You haven't married him yet, right?" Du Kang said angrily, "I have already urged Jiawen, but I don't know why he is still delaying."
Xiang Xiaochuang was startled, and the needle she was holding in her hand pricked her fingertip. Fortunately, the tip of the sweater needle was round, and she just felt a pain in her fingertip. She hurriedly retracted her hand, thought for a moment, and instinctively Defending Du Jiawen: "He must have his own plans! Besides, his engagement with Chen Jiaye cannot be solved at this time. I... believe him."
However, she was still empty in her heart. She was thinking overwhelmingly, what was Du Jiawen's plan?
"His wings have grown stronger!" Du Kang's tone was a little indignant. "The board of directors will be re-elected next week. I will nominate him for a by-election as a director, but he... I'm afraid he won't look down on me."
Xiang Xiaochuang raised his head: "Huh?"
Du Kang sighed: "He has a big heart! Maybe he wants to help Qinzhi get back her father's things. Alas, in fact, what is the point of fighting for me all my life? In the end, I am not alone. !”
"The board of directors will be re-elected next cycle?" Xiang Xiaochuang's heart suddenly started to beat, and he felt vaguely uneasy. Du Jiawen was afraid that he and Du Kang would have a showdown on that day, and who would win...
"Dad, if Jiawen takes away the company, you..." Xiang Xiaochuang said cautiously, constantly peeking at Du Kang's face.
"Why did he take the company away? Does he think I don't know that he is absorbing the shares of retail investors? He can absorb it, but I can't? He is still young!" Du Kang snorted disdainfully, "Xiao Chuang, He is the person you like. I have never taken care of you, so I have no objection. If... Of course, Jiawen's ability is enough to lead the Du family to another peak, but he belongs to the Liu family after all."
Xiang Xiaochuang remained silent, and she could not speak at all about the change of power at their senior level.
On the following Saturdays and Sundays, Du Jiawen still stayed in the company. Xiang Xiaochuang was so uneasy that he even missed the stitches on his sweater several times and made no progress, so he had to put it down.
On the way back from the supermarket, I suddenly felt that the cold was like countless cow hairs, hiding in the dark air, making my skin hurt.
Du Jiawen and Du Kang... She thought about it until her head was swollen, but she still didn't have any good ideas. She wanted to call Du Jiawen and tell him that Du Kang was secretly acquiring individual shares. But the phone didn't ring for a while, and the other party was on a call.
.When Du Jiawen called back, she forgot to mention it again.
Perhaps subconsciously, she didn't want Du Kang to suffer another serious injury. His face already had a lot of wrinkles. Xiang Sihuai's death seemed to have taken away his backbone, and his whole person was aging rapidly.
What's more, what Du Kang said was that Du Jiawen rejected Du Kang's proposal for them to get married, which made her heart cold to the bone. When she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't touch Du Jiawen's body, she felt dazed for a while.
.
When he fell asleep again, there was another scene of the Du family and his son dripping with blood, which actually made Xiang Xiaochuang wake up with a scream.
"What's wrong, Xiaochuang? Why do you keep having nightmares these past two days?" The familiar voice was still gentle and calm, but Xiang Xiaochuang shrank.
"Well, yes, in the past two days..."
"Still sad about Aunt Sihuai? It's time for you to step out of that shadow. If Aunt Sihuai had known better, she would have felt sorry for you. She didn't have a daughter of her own, but she treated you as her own daughter when she was dying.
ah!"
Du Jiawen gradually used the title Xiang Xiaochuang to refer to Xiang Sihuai. The kindness revealed in it made Xiang Xiaochuang feel warm.
Xiang Xiaochuang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand."
How could he understand that she had already thought clearly that if Xiang Sihuai continued to stay in Taoyuan Sanatorium, she would be nothing more than a walking corpse. When she passed away, that moment of clarity was happiness.
She wanted to leave a bloodline for the Xiang family and the three Xiang sisters.
I put my hand on my swollen belly and felt the little baby move. I couldn't help but say "ouch": "Look, our baby is really naughty. He's starting to kick me!"
"Really?" Du Jiawen immediately stood up and put his ear to her belly, "Let me listen and see if the little guy is laughing in your belly."
Xiang Xiaochuang was amused by his pretended solemnity and pursed his lips and smiled: "You want to coax me again... I heard that it takes a long time for the baby to smile after it is born! I went to bed early today, when did you come back?
of?"
His hair was still wet; he had just taken a shower.
"I've been back for a while and saw that you were sleeping soundly. I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I had to sleep on the side aggrievedly." Du Jiawen smiled and stood up again, "You said, let's get a baby for the baby.
What's the name?"
"Didn't you say you want to go for a B-ultrasound? Let's decide on a name then. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. How can I get the right name?"
"Then choose a boy's name and then a girl's name. Anyway, we can use them both."
"Do you think I gave birth to twins?" Xiang Xiaochuang laughed.
"It's not like that, for twins, the belly is bigger than yours." Du Jiawen said with a smile, "But we will have more babies in the future, both boys and girls."
"Do you think I'm a sow?" Xiang Xiaochuang was deliberately horrified.
