As soon as I cherish her back to Fu's house, Chen Wanyi told Fu Jingguo the good news. Fu Jingguo laughed after hearing it: "Why do you need to tell me? Lao Lin called me the first time. I already knew it."
.”
Looking at Xiao Wan sitting obediently in the living room, Chen Wanyi's smile faded: "Did Dr. Lin tell you that she doesn't want this child?"
Fu Jingguo frowned: "Why?"
Chen Wanyi shook her head: "When I heard that she was pregnant, she had a very violent reaction. I don't know what she was thinking."
Fu Jingguo frowned.
"What are you thinking about? Why do you look so bad?"
A voice rang in his ears, pulling Xiao Wan out of the bizarre illusion.
She looked up and saw Chu Ran pushing a wheelchair over at some point. Xiao Wan forced a smile: "It's nothing. Senior Brother Chu, when will you be able to walk around?"
"Well, the doctor came to see me today and said that I am recovering very well. I can try to walk around on my own without sitting in a wheelchair these days." Putting his hands on his legs, Chu Ran smiled, "I can recover.
He died so quickly, it’s all thanks to you running to the hospital every day to deliver bone soup to me.”
"It should be." Xiao Wan replied casually.
Chu Ran glanced at her, her eyes rolled, her face looked a little dazed, it was obvious that her mind was not here at all.
Fu Jingguo came over with a tea cup in his hand, with a cheerful and happy expression. He sat down on the single sofa. He didn't seem to see anything wrong with Xiao Wan. He glanced at Chu Ran and said directly:
"Xiao Wan, how about we help you hide your pregnancy from anyone and let you tell the child's father alone?"
Chu Ran's body trembled slightly, his hands on his knees clenched subconsciously, and his eyes fell on Xiao Wan's abdomen.
He couldn't tell that Fu Jingguo had said this to him on purpose, warning him that Xiao Wan was pregnant now, and that no matter what he was thinking, he had to put it away properly!
Xiao Wan, on the other hand, had a dazed look in her eyes. She was asked to tell Fu Ziheng in person that she was pregnant? Can she do it?
She opened her mouth, feeling like there was a thorn in her throat. There seemed to be a lot she wanted to say, but she couldn't say a word. Finally, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Dad, is Fu Ziheng back?"
Fu Jingguo paused while holding the tea cup, "Not yet...but it's possible that he has gone to the company. How about you go to the company to look for him, Xiaowan?"
Xiao Wan smiled: "No need."
"That's right, don't rush it now. When he comes back tonight, you can tell him the good news. Your mother and Aunt Liu are going to the kitchen to get you something to eat. Xiaowan, you are lucky. Your mother
My cooking skills are amazing, I think back then...haha." Fu Jingguo laughed, trying to make the atmosphere more cheerful.
Of course Xiao Wan understood what he meant, but she really couldn't laugh. She reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a wry smile: "Dad, I want to go upstairs and take a rest."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, go and have a rest." Fu Jingguo immediately asked her to go upstairs.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared from the stairs that Fu Jingguo looked back.
Chu Ran pushed the wheelchair and was about to leave the living room when a low voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Xiao Wan is pregnant now. You will have a nephew soon. As the child's uncle, you should understand your identity."
The movement in his hand stopped, Chu Ran turned around and saw Fu Jingguo holding the teacup and drinking with his head down. He suddenly laughed: "Dad."
Fu Jingguo's body trembled.
Chu Ran has never called him seriously in these years, nor has he called him so solemnly like now.
He raised his head slightly in surprise and met Chu Ran's eyes. Chu Ran said: "Dad, five years ago you stopped me from pursuing happiness and drove Ji Yanran away from me. Five years later, I finally liked her again."
I've fallen in love with a girl, but you still want to stop me. I want to ask, Fu Ziheng is your son, am I not? Can you share some of your favoritism with me, even just a little bit?"
As soon as he let go of his hand, the tea cup fell to the ground with a clang. His throat rolled, and Fu Jingguo said with difficulty: "I will help you with any girl you like, but why if it is Xiao Wan, who is she? She is your brother's wife, you
Sister-in-law!"
Chu Ran sneered, "It won't be the case soon."
"What did you say?!" Fu Jingguo looked at him in disbelief, "What do you want to do?!"
"What can I do? You still can't tell that Xiao Wan has given up on Fu Ziheng. With her temperament, do you think she can tolerate Ji Yanran's existence?"
After saying this, Chu Ran pushed away the wheelchair and stood up, "Since Fu Ziheng doesn't know what cherishing is, then it's up to me to cherish her."
After saying this, he abandoned his wheelchair and walked away step by step.
Fu Jingguo sat on the sofa, looked at his back melancholy, and finally let out a long sigh.

When Chu Ran came to Xiao Wan's room, she was sitting on the sofa holding a pillow in a daze, and she didn't even notice that he was approaching.
"Xiao Wan." Chu Ran had no choice but to speak out to attract her attention.
Xiao Wan, who heard the noise, looked back and saw Chu Ran standing by and looking at her. She stood up in surprise: "You...can you leave?"
"I'm not disabled anymore." Chu Ran smiled, "Although it still hurts a little to walk, I can still walk slowly and reluctantly."
Xiao Wan scratched his head and quickly asked him to sit down.
After the two sat down, they chatted for a while. Xiao Wan gradually became silent. Chu Ran looked sideways and saw her looking out the window in a daze. He didn't know what she was thinking.
When did that little girl who only knew how to express happiness to others now have a hint of sadness in her eyes?
Chu Ran's eyes deepened and he opened his mouth to speak when Xiao Wan suddenly said: "Senior Brother Chu, do you have the number in Fu Ziheng's office?"
Chu Ran wanted to say no, but he didn't want to see her disappointed expression, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to make a call." Xiao Wan looked at him, "Can you give it to me?"
"Are you sure you want it?"
"yes."
"What if... it turns out to be sad?"
Xiao Wan bit her lip: "At least I tried and fought for it. If the result is not satisfactory, I can't force it."
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Chu Ran took out the mobile phone from his jacket pocket and did not rush to give it to her. He put it in his hand and pondered for a moment before slowly handing it to her hand, "Find Xiao Hao's name in the address book."
Xiao Wan followed the instructions one by one, and then called. It took a long time before the call was connected. Xiao Haoqi said: "Master Chu, you are really calling me..."
"Mr. Xiao." Xiao Wan was not familiar with this man. He had only met him once or twice. He only knew that Fu Ziheng trusted him. "I am not Chu Ran. I am Xiao Wan, Fu Ziheng's... wife."
There was a pause for a while before the other person responded: "Oh, hello, hello, it's my sister-in-law. What do you want to see me for?"
After he finished speaking, he heard the voice on the other end of the phone. Xiao Hao thought there was something wrong with the line. He took out his phone and looked at it. It showed that the call was still on, so there was no problem.
He tentatively spoke again: "Hey, sister-in-law, are you still there?"
"Oh, yes." Xiao Wan came back to her senses, took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Xiao, I want to ask you something."
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Is Fu Ziheng in the company?"
"Boss?" Xiao Hao shook his head, "Not here. Didn't I say I was recuperating at home the past two days? I haven't been to the company for several days."
Xiao Wan was stunned for a long time, then realized that she was still holding her cell phone, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, I'm fine, just ask."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Chu Ran remained silent, sitting quietly next to her and looking at her.
Xiao Wan looked down at the phone in her hand, without saying a word. She just silently pressed another number and dialed it. This time, the other party answered quickly, "Hello?"
"Steward Chen." Xiao Wan closed her eyes and asked almost with the last glimmer of hope, "...Is Fu Ziheng at home?"
Unexpectedly, Butler Chen was even more surprised than she was: "Aren't the eldest young master and the young madam at Fu's house? Are you coming back? If so, I will clean the room and cook something delicious..."
"Uncle Chen, I just called you to ask if there's nothing wrong. You're not busy anymore."
She will never return to that villa again.
Butler Chen heard something was wrong in her voice and asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Did the young lady quarrel with the eldest young master again?"
Xiao Wan smiled: "No, you are worrying too much."
"It's okay if you don't have it. You young couples just like to make noises. This is fine, it gives you a taste of life." Butler Chen joked.
Xiao Wan responded randomly, put away the phone and handed it to Chu Ran who was standing aside, "Sorry, I made two calls with your phone. My phone is charging there."
As she spoke, she pointed to the bedside table.
Chu Ran didn't even look at her phone, she just stared at her face and asked word by word: "Xiao Wan, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xiao Wan shook her head, "What can happen to me?"
"..."
If it's okay, why is his face so ugly, and he looks like he's crying but not crying? His expression is indescribable, and it just breaks his heart to see it.
His heart twitched slightly.
After returning the phone to him, Xiao Wan crossed her legs and nestled into the sofa, saying in a muffled voice: "Senior Brother Chu, please leave me alone for a while."
Chu Ran pursed his lips: "You..."
"I'm fine, please."
Sighing, Chu Ran stood up and said, "Okay." After saying that, he walked out the door step by step.
After lunch, Fu Jingguo and Chen Wanyi went for a walk in the back garden to eat. Xiao Wan put down her chopsticks and called out to the person who was about to walk into the room: "Senior Brother Chu."
Chu Ran turned around.
Xiao Wan looked at him steadily, "Can you please take me somewhere?"

Fu Ziheng came out of the ward and closed the door gently. He looked tired after not sleeping all night. His green-gray beard had sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain. He looked a little decadent.
Ji Yanran came back from buying lunch and happened to see him coming out of the ward. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How are you? How is the situation inside?"
