Chapter 347 Adjusting the State

Tan Zheng’s various check-up indicators were excellent. He only needed to undergo rehabilitation training on schedule and would be discharged from the hospital within a week. This day, Song Ni curled up on the sofa, feeling Tan Zheng’s anger. The reason was that Vivian, upon hearing Tan Zheng had woken up, immediately came to the hospital and told him everything about Song Ni. For instance, when the accident first happened, Song Ni bravely reached into the car to assess the situation for the firefighters’ rescue. She even fainted upon seeing the blood-soaked Tan Zheng. Another instance was that due to physical exhaustion and emotional fluctuations, the baby was almost lost, and it took a great deal of effort to save the child. Moreover, while Tan Zheng was in a coma, she stayed by his side day and night, juggling her studies and managing company affairs. In short, Song Ni had done too much for Tan Zheng over the past four months. As a result, right after Vivian left, Tan Zheng became the way he was. Song Ni knew that Tan Zheng, in his current state, was not to be trifled with. He stood in the middle of the hospital room with his hands on his hips, his aura undiminished even in a hospital gown. Tan Zheng was angry that Song Ni had disregarded her own well-being for him, toiling day and night. He couldn’t say much about her studies, but she absolutely shouldn’t have been handling company matters. Tan Zheng had many things he wanted to say to Song Ni, but seeing her curled up on the sofa, clutching her belly and smiling at him, the knot in his chest couldn’t be untangled. He furrowed his brow and stepped forward to embrace her. "Ni Ni," he called out, pausing. "You let me" Tan Zheng didn't finish his sentence because Song Ni placed a finger over his lips. A faint smile remained on Song Ni's face. "It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it anymore." She truly didn't want to recall the past four months. In this cold hospital room, she had talked to Tan Zheng alone for so long, yet her words were met with no response. She often woke up in the middle of the night, terrified that Tan Zheng would simply disappear. Thinking of the past four months, the smile on Song Ni's lips gradually faded, a gloom settling in her eyes, and her body began to tremble slightly. Seeing this, Tan Zheng quickly held her tighter. "Ni Ni, I'm here, I'm here, I'm awake." Song Ni had never been like this before. Tan Zheng had never seen such vulnerability in her. Her beautiful eyes shouldn't hold fear or dread. Tan Zheng tenderly lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Baby, I'm here." He held her hand, interlocking their fingers, and together they touched her belly. "Baby, I'm back, and I'm here to take care of you and our child." Feeling the mother’s emotional fluctuation, the baby in her womb reacted, moving again. Song Ni regained her senses and leaned her head on Tan Zheng's shoulder. "Mm." It was good that he was back. Tan Zheng was by her side again. Tan Zheng quickly noticed that Song Ni's condition was not quite right. Given his current physical state, he couldn't undertake long-distance travel. He specifically asked Cheng Ling to rush to England, thinking that as a familiar friend, Song Ni would let down her guard. ... Qin Yang, Tang Qin Yun, and Lu Hao Ting had all come along. While Cheng Ling was taking Song Ni aside to talk, Tang Qin Yun approached Tan Zheng. "I felt something would happen before. Her state was always tense, and she was numbing herself by constantly studying and working. How could a normal person endure that?" "In my opinion, she suppressed her emotions for too long, and they never had a chance to surface, which is why she's acting like this now." Moreover, pregnancy itself, due to hormonal changes, makes one prone to emotional fluctuations. Song Ni, to better care for Tan Zheng and stay by his side, had been suppressing her emotions and neglecting her own needs. Now that Tan Zheng was awake and the tension had eased, everything she had lacked and overlooked was affecting Song Ni. Coupled with the fact that some children’s self-regulation abilities are not as strong as before, she needed help from others. However, Tan Zheng hadn't expected that the first thing Song Ni said to Cheng Ling during their walk was, "Did Tan Zheng send you?" Song Ni knew her state was not right, but she didn't know what to do. After chatting for a while, Cheng Ling understood that even with him, Song Ni subconsciously maintained a defense. Her condition wasn't to the point of illness, but she needed the companionship of those close to her to dispel the fears buried deep within her heart. Obviously, this person could only be Tan Zheng. And he believed Tan Zheng would handle it very well. With that thought, Cheng Ling let out a long sigh. "It hasn't been easy." Neither Tan Zheng nor Song Ni had an easy time. Back then, Tan Zheng carried profound guilt for Xi Jin Jiang for five long years. After finally learning the truth and choosing to make a comeback, he suffered this accident on the racetrack he loved most after winning the championship. And Song Ni? She had witnessed the person she loved most nearly lose his life. Both had endured too much. Fortunately, the baby Song Ni was carrying was resilient, and fortunately, Tan Zheng had also woken up. Later, Tan Zheng used the simplest and most direct method to completely dispel Song Ni's fear. Before, he was afraid Song Ni would be heartbroken if she saw him during his rehabilitation, so he didn't let her watch. Now, he actively asked Song Ni to accompany him. Seeing that he could still use his body flexibly, believing what she saw, and assuring her that he was fine now. That there were no lingering side effects and that he was healthy. During the four months Tan Zheng was in a coma, Song Ni stayed by his side day and night. And when Song Ni’s condition was not right, Tan Zheng also stayed by her side almost constantly for half a month. Soon, it was Christmas. Song Ni finally emerged from the shadow of witnessing Tan Zheng's accident on the racetrack. She had completed all her courses and now with the child, she naturally had no plans to stay in England. Before leaving, she accompanied Tan Zheng to the UK headquarters of GN. Everyone was initially very happy and prepared to spend a joyful Christmas with the boss, but they were startled by Tan Zheng. He was still angry that Song Ni had been handling GN matters while she was pregnant. He berated An fiercely, and An was utterly miserable. At the time, he hadn't dared to bother Song Ni, but it was such a large project and such a significant decision that he truly couldn't make it alone. However, it was indeed wrong of him; he shouldn't have troubled Song Ni under those circumstances. Therefore, he willingly accepted Tan Zheng's scolding. Song Ni, on the other hand, spoke a few words on his behalf. She used Tan Zheng's own words to parry the criticism. "Didn't you say I'm also a boss at GN? As a boss, what's wrong with me managing some things?" Song Ni stood with her hands on her hips. She had been well-cared for by Tan Zheng for the past half-month, and her belly had visibly grown larger. The moment Tan Zheng saw her like this, he dared not say anything more.
