Nan Xun returned to the district and was surprised to see Mrs Tang and Tang Xun standing downstairs.
No matter how her relationship with Tang Mo was, Nan Xun always had respect and a good impression of Mrs Tang.
“Auntie, why are you here?” After Nan Xun greeted Mrs Tang, she nodded at Tang Xun.
She had not interacted much with Tang Xun, but when she was in the Tang family, Tang Xun had not even looked at her. It was obvious that he looked down on her.
Now that Tang Xun had regained his senses, this had nothing to do with Nan Xun. She did not hate him or have a good impression of him. When they met, she nodded calmly as a greeting.
Mrs Tang waved the things in her hand and looked at Nan Xun’s thin face. “I haven’t seen you for a while and you’ve lost weight. I bought an old hen. Let’s go upstairs and make soup for you.”
Since she was already downstairs, Nan Xun could not reject her.
Nan Xun wanted to help Mrs Tang carry her things, but Mrs Tang shook her head. “The heavy ones are in Tang Xun’s hands. I’m not carrying them.”
When they arrived at the apartment, Nan Xun invited them in.
Nan Xun did not let them change their shoes. Mrs Tang glanced at the shoe cabinet. Yes, there were no male items.
“Auntie, I’ve already eaten tonight. You don’t have to make soup for me. Sit on the sofa with Mr Tang and I’ll make tea for you.”
Mrs Tang shook her head. “If it’s done, you can eat it as supper. Don’t you believe in my skills? Look at how thin you’ve become recently. You need to nourish yourself.”
Mrs Tang was too enthusiastic. If Nan Xun rejected her, it would seem too heartless.
In this world, there were very few people who she could not reject. Mrs Tang was one of them.
Mrs Tang and Tang Xun entered the kitchen together.
Tang Xun helped Mrs Tang and the two of them did not let Nan Xun stay in the kitchen.
While making the soup, Mrs Tang went to the washroom. Of course, she did not really go to the washroom, but secretly observed if there were any traces of other men living here.
Just as she had expected, Xun’er’s private life was clean and much better than her son’s.
Mrs Tang returned to the kitchen and Tang Xun asked softly, “Did you find anything?”
Mrs Tang snorted and replied proudly, “Do you think the daughter-in-law I like is like you and your son?”
Tang Xun was speechless.
Why was it related to him and Mo’er?
“It’s fine if you say it’s me. Mo’er is your son. Why are you biased toward your daughter-in-law?”
“When the two of you were playing around, it was my daughter-in-law who accompanied me. If I didn’t side with her, would I side with you?”
Tang Xun waved his hand. “Alright, alright. | won’t say anything else.”
An hour later, the chicken soup was ready.
Nan Xun had not eaten much in the afternoon at the farm. Now that she smelled the fragrance, she really wanted to eat.
After Mrs Tang made the soup, she made a few more dishes.
She and Tang Xun had not eaten dinner and the three of them sat in the dining room.
The dining table was full of Nan Xun’s favorite dishes, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled beef… However, these were all her favorites from two months ago.
Mrs Tang did not know about Nan Xun’s condition and put a piece of beef into Nan Xun’s bowl. “Xun’er, try it and see if you like it.”
Nan Xun could not refuse Mrs Tang’s kindness. She lowered her head and ate the beef.
After chewing twice, her stomach started to churn again.
She could not help but cup her mouth and run into the washroom.
Mrs Tang and Tang Xun were stunned.
Mrs Tang followed quickly and saw Nan Xun squatting by the toilet, vomiting out everything she had just eaten. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Before Nan Xun came out, Mrs Tang had already returned to her seat.
an Xun walked to the dining room and explained to Mrs Tang, “Auntie, I’m sorry. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently.”
Mrs Tang asked with concern, “Have you gone to the hospital?”
an Xun nodded. “Yes, it’s a small problem.”
After dinner, Mrs Tang and Tang Xun helped tidy up the dining room and left Nan Xun’s apartment.
an Xun sent them downstairs.
n the car, Mrs Tang looked at Nan Xun’s apartment thoughtfully. “No wonder Xun’er has lost a lot of weight recently. Her stomach is not feeling well.”
The moment she finished speaking, she heard Tang Xun chuckle.
Mrs Tang glared at Tang Xun. “What are you laughing at?”
“You even had a child before. Doesn’t her reaction look like she’s pregnant?”
Tang Xun’s words were like a stone falling into Mrs Tang’s heart.
Mrs Tang was so excited that her fingers were trembling and she did not know how to buckle her seatbelt. Seeing this, Tang Xun leaned over and helped Mrs Tang buckle her seatbelt. “Maybe, we’re going to be
grandparents.”
Tang Xun smiled. “We have to go back and tell Mo’er about this.”
The car drove toward the Tang family’s old residence.
Along the way, Mrs Tang remained silent, as if she was too excited to regain her senses.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Tang family’s old residence.
Tang Xun called Mrs Tang, “Let’s tell Mo’er this news quickly. He will definitely be happy.”
Mrs Tang grabbed Tang Xun, who was about to get out of the car.
Her happy and excited expression became serious. “You can’t tell him.”
Tang Xun looked at Mrs Tang in confusion.
“First of all, we can’t be 100% sure if Xun’er is pregnant or not. Even if she is, she didn’t tell Mo’er personally, but told Mo’er about the side effects of the medicine used for the surgery. Do you think it’s appropriate for
us to say it on her behalf?”
“Secondly, when Mo’er pushed Xun’er away back then, the knot in Xun’er’s heart had not been untied. Now that Mo’er knows that he can’t have children in the future, if he pushes Xun’er away again, do you think they
will be happy even if they force themselves to be together? The conflict will erupt one day.”
“Let’s just pretend that we didn’t know about Xun’er’s pregnancy and let Mo’er handle it himself. If he wants to give up on Xun’er again because of the child, I think he doesn’t deserve Xun’er. Let him be alone until he
grows old.”
Hearing this, Tang Xun only sighed and did not speak for a long time.
Mrs Tang got out of the car and glanced at Tang Xun, who was about to follow her into the house. She said coldly, “Go back. Apart from our son, let’s try not to contact each other about anything else.”
“Meiyin, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance…”
Before she could finish, she heard a bang and Mrs Tang closed the door from inside.
Mrs Tang entered the living room and asked the butler, “Where’s Young Master?”
The butler said, “Young Master is in the study upstairs. He’s not in a good mood and called him down for supper tonight, but he didn’t come down.”
Mrs Tang waved her hand. “Ignore him.”
Tang Mo stood in front of the French windows of the study, smoking. The lingering smoke blurred his face and his bloodshot eyes were filled with heaviness and melancholy.
He thought that God had treated him well, but in the end, he had to pay the price of not having any children!
His hand that was not holding the cigarette clenched into a fist and swung it against the wall..
