Tian Xin kissed her, "It’s okay, when you grow up, you’ll definitely be as beautiful as mom."
Tian Xin looked at Tang Baijin, "Mr. Tang, nice to meet you!"
"This is my good friend, Tian Xin!" Bei Ran introduced.
Tang Baijin nodded, "Bei Ran is going to work, I’ll take care of the kids with you this afternoon, Miss Tian, do you want to keep playing here or go back and rest?"
"What about you, little fish?" Tian Xin asked the little darling.
The little fish seemed not tired at all, "Let’s keep playing!"
So, the two adults and the little fish continued to play other activities, while Bei Ran went off to work.
While the little fish was riding the merry-go-round by herself, Tang Baijin and Tian Xin watched her from below.
The little fish waved at them, Tian Xin laughed and took a picture with her cellphone, then casually asked, "Do you like kids?"
"I do!" Tang Baijin nodded, "They are as lovely as angels!"
"You really don’t mind that Bei Ran had a child with another man and was married to someone else?" Tian Xin asked again.
Tang Baijin took a deep breath, "I’m willing to love Bei Ran with my life, to say I don’t care about her past would be insincere. But I know she was helpless back then. So, compared to minding her past, I feel more distressed for what she went through. Besides, I’m not one to dwell on the past, I only hope that in the future, I can live together with her and the children."
Tian Xin nodded, "Tang Baijin, I hope you can keep your word. It’s easy for a man to make promises, but it’s very hard to truly fulfil them."
Earth Wedding Company.
Bei Ran came in to work overtime on weekends.
This was a major client for the company, and she was always diligent about her work. Holding a wedding on the island was very romantic, but the cost of romance meant that, as the wedding planner and chief coordinator, she no longer had free time on weekends.
While she was working overtime, Zong Zheng came over!
"Sister Bei, grandma made kelp and mung bean soup. The summer weather is too hot, and since you work so hard, grandma said to bring some over for you." Zong Zheng placed a large thermos on her desk.
"Wow, I’m just feeling warm! Thank grandma for me!" Bei Ran opened it eagerly, poured a bowl for herself, "Zong Zheng, do you want some?"
"No need, I had some at home before coming over!" Zong Zheng laughed, "Sister Bei, if you like it, I can bring it for you every day."
"That won’t be necessary! You’re an intern Doctor now, and your work is busy. Today is your day off, you should spend more time with grandma." Bei Ran said, "It’s a shame, I can’t make soup... If only I could make it myself..."
"I can teach you..." Zong Zheng said with a bright, youthful smile.
"You can?" Bei Ran widened her eyes in surprise.
"Of course!" Zong Zheng said, while he took out a small notebook and wrote, "Cut the kelp into strips, as kelp has many of the elements people need. Clean the mung beans thoroughly, as beans can supplement the amino acids needed by the body... Add a bit of pork bone, and the soup will be even smoother and more delicious..."
Seeing him writing and explaining to her, after drinking the mung bean and kelp soup, Bei Ran took the notebook and read, "I wouldn’t have guessed, you’re quite a modern good man!"
"Of course, I will definitely be a good husband!" Zong Zheng laughed, "Whichever lady marries me, I’ll make soup for her, keeping her warm in the winter and cool in the summer..."
Bei Ran also laughed, "Then hurry and find a girlfriend. You’ve graduated from college and started working, why not find a girlfriend? Grandma really wants to hold a great-grandchild, you know?"
Zong Zheng gazed at her, "If it weren’t for Professor Gu’s words, I only have eyes for you..."
Bei Ran was taken aback; she and Gu Qingchen were already divorced.
"Zong Zheng, just focus on learning medical skills from Professor Gu, don’t think about anything else, okay?" Bei Ran said.
Zong Zheng didn’t know they had divorced; he nodded and said, "Yes!"
If Professor Gu Qingchen wasn’t a man he admired so much, he naturally wouldn’t want to let go of Bei Ran; he would prefer to make soup for her for a lifetime, to keep her smiling always.
Bei Ran sent Zong Zheng off, she sighed softly, having always treated him like a younger brother.
She also hoped that Zong Zheng would learn Gu Qingchen’s exquisite medical skills and benefit humanity.
She also hoped that Zong Zheng would find a woman to love and cherish, to start a family and build a career.
Zong Zheng, carrying an empty thermos, went home. He stood at the bus stop, then took out his cellphone to review the medical knowledge stored on it.
