Wang Dongcheng didn’t think twice and immediately said, "I’ll be heading back after lunch, probably around three or four in the afternoon. If you don’t have someone to take you, then come back with me! I’ve got my bicycle with me anyway."
"That’s great, thank you, Mr. Wang," Zhao Xinlan said happily, grabbing Wang Dongcheng’s arm and shaking it.
Looking at the sunny smile on her face, Wang Dongcheng felt a strange feeling rise within him. Li Shiping had a quiet disposition and never showed such a childish side. Especially after getting married, she was always gloomy, as if someone had died in the family. He didn’t even want to go home; just seeing Li Shiping’s face made him annoyed.
Occasionally, when he was in the mood, he wanted to touch Li Shiping, but she would either say the child was nearby or that she was afraid of waking the child. They would end up going to the bathroom, which initially felt fresh and exciting. But as time passed, it became annoying. He wanted to force the issue, but Li Shiping was very firm in this regard, never willing to do it in front of the child.
A one- or two-year-old child doesn’t understand anything and won’t remember anything anyway, but Li Shiping was just stubborn.
When he was young, didn’t his parents do the same near him? Sometimes he woke up at night to find the bed shaking. Isn’t that how every child grows up?
Only Li Shiping was prudishly pretentious.
"Dongcheng, if only I had known studying was this good, I would have taken my studies seriously back then. No matter what, I wouldn’t have missed school for just those few centimeters," Wang Dongcheng’s older cousin said with envy.
Today might be his wedding, but Wang Dongcheng was dressed even more like a groom than he was. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel•fire.net
Did he think everyone could go to university? A trace of disdain flashed in Wang Dongcheng’s eyes, but his face said, "You’re doing well now, aren’t you? You’re getting married, aren’t you? Why worry about those things?"
"True," his cousin laughed. "Actually, compared to most people, I’m doing quite well. Several guys in the village older than me still don’t have wives."
Nowadays, when women get married, they all compete for the ’three big things.’ How can ordinary families afford that?
If it hadn’t been for Wang Dongcheng’s help, his own wedding would have been in jeopardy.
Hearing his cousin say this, Wang Dongcheng felt even more smug, living a life incomparably easier than his cousin’s.
Wang Dongcheng, full of pride and satisfaction, completely cast aside thoughts of his child and Li Shiping.
In the hospital, Li Shiping was still hoping Wang Dongcheng could come back that night. She gratefully said to Shen Mianmian, "Mianmian, you’ve had a hard time. You haven’t rested since last night. Dongcheng should be coming back from his home soon. He can stay with me and the child tonight. You and He Nan should go back to rest. Still, I’ll have to trouble you to leave a note at my family’s house to let Dongcheng know that the child and I are in the hospital."
"Sister Shiping, I’m not tired. I slept for a few hours last night, and there’s nothing pressing for me to do now. I can go back later." Originally, she should have visited the Li Family today, but she hadn’t gone yet. Learning was off the agenda for today, so she could only visit Li Julin later when she went back to say hi.
But He Nan, he stood outside for the whole night yesterday, without any rest. Today, too, he’s been running around, buying food and fetching water, busy without a chance to rest.
Hearing Shen Mianmian say this, Li Shiping didn’t insist. She indeed hoped for someone to keep her company. Wang Dongcheng wouldn’t be able to come until five or six in the afternoon. The hospital was so deserted, just her and the child, it was a bit scary.
Thinking of this, she looked at He Nan, "I’m sorry to trouble you, He Nan. You can go take care of your matters! It’s fine if Mianmian stays with me. As for the money advanced by the hospital, I’ll pay you back once Dongcheng returns."
