383 Shangjing (Part 2)
When Doctor Sun’s room was tidied up, it was the day of departure.
“Grandmother.”
Zhao Zhan supported Grandma Zhang and carefully helped her into the carriage. “We’ve been traveling for a long time. Grandmother, if you feel uncomfortable, just call me and we’ll stop and rest.”
“I know.”
Although Grandma Zhang was still muddled, she occasionally knew clearly that Zhao Zhan was her grandson.
“Zhao Zhan, you won’t blame us for being so thick-skinned and following you to Shangjing, right? We’re only thinking that while your grandmother is still in good health, we can accompany her for as long as we can.”
“What are you saying? We agreed that we would go to Bei City with you.”
Zhang Lingzhen patted Zhao Zhan’s shoulder.
“Since that’s the case, we won’t ever mention it in the future.”
“Xiangjun, be careful.”
In the carriage behind them, Fang Tianliu was carrying Luoning in his arms. He used his free hand to support his lover. “Although this carriage is not as comfortable as the Zhao Zhan has, I’ve put a soft cushion inside so you won’t be hurt even if you lie down.”
Li Miao hurried over with two big bags in her hands. “These are the clothes I’ve been staying up all night to make for Luoning.”
Luoning was a child who grew up in her arms.
Now that they were leaving, Li Miao felt extremely sad. “This child’s body is weak, and her spleen and stomach are recovering. It’s easy for her to get indigestion and catch a cold. It must have been hard on her to survive for this long. You’ve put in a lot of effort.”
Li Xiangjun held Li Miao’s hands. “Li Miao, if it wasn’t for you, Luoning wouldn’t have been raised so well. We owe you a great debt of gratitude. When she is older and more sensible, I will tell her how much you have done for her.” Li Xiangjun released her grip and knelt down. “It must have been hard on you all these days…”
Luoning, who was in Fang tianliu’s arms, had already reached out to Li Miao.
Li Miao wanted to hug her, but she was afraid that they would have objections, so she couldn’t bear to look away from Fang Luoning’s face.
“Come, Luoning.” Li Xiangjun took the child from Fang Tianliu’s arms and passed it to Li Miao. “Please, I insist.”
“Ah.”
Li Miao quickly held Luoning in her arms and held her tightly.
Zhao Zhan walked from the front to the back of the carriage and saw Doctor Sun, Zhang Lingzhen, his wife, and Grandma Zhang all sitting firmly in the carriage. He made his way to the back of the line and spoke to Fang Tianliu.
“It’s getting late.” Li Miao wiped his tears and reluctantly returned Luoning to Fang Tianliu. “You should set off quickly. It’s dangerous to travel in the dark.”
“Of course, I’ll leave the workshop to you and Dashan.”
“Don’t worry. Dashan and I will take care of the workshop well.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s set off, “Zhao Zhan said firmly. He watched as Fang Tianliu and Li Xiangjun carried the child and sat down in the carriage. He then bade farewell to Li Miao and returned to his own carriage.
Zhao Nian was sleeping soundly on the bed that was specially made for him in the carriage. His two small hands were clenched into fists and raised above his head, looking very cute.
“Jiaojiao…”
Zhao Zhan jumped into the carriage and naturally held Yue Jiaojiao. “Do you want to sleep for a while? It’s just daybreak, do you want to catch up on sleep?”
His lover looked tired.
When she heard Zhao Zhan’s words, she naturally shrank her body down and then rested her head on Zhao Zhan’s lap. She hugged a pillow comfortably. ‘I’m a little sleepy.”
As she spoke, she let out a small yawn.
“Then I’ll pull down the curtain in the carriage.”
Zhao Zhan bowed and covered the curtain. He then ordered the coachman sitting on the shaft, “Let’s go.”
