Capítulo 1229: Chapter 1229: Not Providing Food
An Zhiyuan and An Zhixiang went out to buy food and came back. Bai Xiao is quite picky and doesn’t like hospital food, so An Zhiyuan has been buying meals from outside these days.
Of course, Bai Jingshan’s chef cooked food that suited Bai Xiao’s taste quite well.
Bai Xiao looked at Ke Lan, who was quietly sitting beside her. “Ke Lan! Did you and Lao San have a fight? I noticed you two weren’t even sitting together. This isn’t like you. You just got married and started fighting?”
She had already sensed something amiss between An Zhixiang and Ke Lan.
Of course she knew! The two got married a week ago! She was preparing for a competition at the time and didn’t have time to attend the wedding, so An Zhiyuan sent a congratulatory gift on her behalf.
Ke Lan sighed and looked at Bai Xiao with melancholy eyes, “Second sister-in-law, am I that obvious?”
Bai Xiao handed her an orange, “Look at your eye bags! Poor sleep, listless, without any connection with Lao San. That’s not how newlyweds should be. What’s going on? Why don’t you tell me, as your second sister-in-law, maybe I can help.”
Ke Lan’s tears welled up, “Ding Min came to me, saying she’s with Axiang and demanding I step aside. Although I know I should trust him, she knows the black mole on Axiang’s abdomen so well. I truly can’t handle it. I don’t know how to say it or ask about it?”
Feeling stifled, it’s hard for her to bear, sometimes such matters need someone to share.
“You didn’t ask Lao San? Or did Lao San answer and you didn’t believe it?”
Bai Xiao thought that with An Zhiyuan’s information, the matter between An Zhixiang and Ding Min should have been resolved long ago.
Could it be that Ding Min and An Zhixiang really have a thing going on?
It shouldn’t be.
Unless An Zhixiang is being foolish.
“I didn’t ask. I want to ask, but I’m afraid our relationship will have a rift if I do. But not asking makes me feel less confident myself, because Ding Min spoke so firmly. They were together that day, the day Wei Shufen insisted I accompany her shopping, and Axiang had something to do that day. Ding Min said that was the day they were together.
Actually, Axiang told me Ding Min was making a move, so I cooperated and went out with Wei Shufen, but Ding Min was adamant. What should I do?”
Ke Lan was very conflicted, knowing she should trust An Zhixiang, but once the seed of doubt is sown, it will sprout and take root.
“Then you should ask Axiang. The biggest taboo between couples is having things left unsaid in the heart. You don’t say, I don’t say, and in the end it becomes a fuse for something unknown that will ultimately explode one day.
Get clarity, whether it’s true or not, you should be able to face your own choices calmly. At least don’t let it go on like this between the two of you.
Think about it yourself, if there’s nothing, you’re just grinding away your relationship, allowing Ding Min to take advantage, which will only bring pain and no joy.”
This girl is caught up in her own confusion.
Ke Lan’s eyes brightened, “Sister-in-law, do you believe in Axiang?”
It seemed as if she’d grasped a lifeline, needing someone’s affirmation.
“Ke Lan, whether I believe is unimportant! What’s important is whether you believe. Loving someone means being full of confidence in yourself! You are such a confident, cheerful, lively girl. I believe every man who sees you would want to be with a girl like you! Not someone like Ding Min. Isn’t that right?”
Sometimes facing emotions, people become lost and helpless.
Ke Lan exclaimed, “Am I really as good as you say?”
Being someone who was praised face-to-face, she felt a bit thin-skinned and couldn’t bear it.
“Ding Min is not the problem. You should have a good talk with Lao San. Actually, men are sometimes very slow to react. You’re there stewing in anger, he knows you’re angry, but unfortunately doesn’t know why. The more you don’t speak, the more puzzled he becomes. If you talk it out, it’s good for everyone.
Moreover, holding grudges isn’t good for your health! As a doctor, I’ll responsibly tell you that many diseases are related to pent-up anger. For a person unrelated, it’s not worth ruining your health!”
Ke Lan suddenly felt enlightened; perhaps people sometimes need others to wake them up.
“Not worth what?”
An Zhiyuan and An Zhixiang came back, bringing Bai Xiao’s lunch, made by Bai Jingshan’s chef. They were actually just the delivery guys.
If it weren’t for the hotel lockdown and the increased security measures, random people couldn’t come in; the chef would have delivered it himself.
All because Bai Xiao loves the chef’s cooking, Bai Jingshan directly signed a ten-year contract with him, with excellent benefits. His monthly salary is double that of other places, and such a good thing couldn’t be found even with a lantern.
This is just a frivolous dad pampering his daughter.
Of course, treating Bai Xiao as the boss.
Being serious and meticulous.
“We girls are just chatting about topics not suitable for you guys to hear. By the way, you guys should go eat too, there’s not enough food here for you two. You’ll have to figure out your own meals.”
An Zhixiang glanced at the plastic bag filled with at least ten lunch boxes.
Sister-in-law, could you stop telling bold-faced lies?
You eat ten boxes of food?
Just say if you don’t want us around.
Watching his second brother’s expression that everything his wife says is right.
An Zhixiang realized what being a ‘wife slave’ is like.
“Second brother, the two of you earn quite a lot, why so stingy? Will one meal make you poor?”
He couldn’t help but complain.
It’s not about wanting to eat that meal.
Just puzzled, Bai Xiao isn’t a stingy person.
What’s going on today?
An Zhiyuan laughed, “How could you understand? My wife and I earn a decent salary each month, don’t spend much, but look at my wife’s belly right now, there are three mouths waiting for us to feed. Second brother must learn to live carefully.
Otherwise, what will the kids eat after they’re born?
Milk powder, diapers, and look at kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school, college, maybe even studying abroad. There are plenty of needs that require money.”
Protecting a wife is indeed impressive.
Though their family truly isn’t short of money.
Could raise thirty kids without a problem.
Yet learning to live within means is important.
Especially learning to listen to the wife.
An Zhixiang laughed happily.
Thumbs up, pulling his own wife, “Second brother, sister-in-law, you guys are great. If you don’t have kids, have three at once. I’ll take this good news to our dad, tell him to save up, later during holidays, there’ll be three grandkids to give red envelopes to.
Let’s go! Wife, they didn’t give us food, your man will take you out to eat. After this meal, let’s hurry and have kids, we should learn from second brother and sister-in-law.”
Ke Lan’s face turned red, pinched An Zhixiang where no one could see, making An Zhixiang shout.
Causing An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao to look at him in confusion.
Awkward.
“Nothing, nothing. A mosquito bit me.”
Bai Xiao silently looked at the piercing cold outside, almost snowing.
Are there mosquitoes now?
Ke Lan wished she could bite this rascal.
Can’t you find a more convincing excuse?
Are there mosquitoes in the dead of winter?
