Chapter 643: You Said That You Would Listen To Me Tonight
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shi Mengwan was lucky enough to escape today and didn’t let Su Qingsang see her with Zhan Haoze.
However, she didn’t let her heart calm down until she left the ancient city. It was as if she was being roasted in a fire.
Until she returned home, Shi Mengwan didn’t recover from the shame she felt in the fitting room. That was also why when Zhan Haoze approached her, she wasn’t willing to give him any face at all.
All her tolerance for him and all her concessions were based on her conviction that the man in front of her was her big brother.
But if this big brother was no longer the youth who wholeheartedly protected her back then, and was no longer the big brother she remembered in her heart, should she continue to wait?
The situation today could be said to be an accident, but as long as she didn’t break up with Zhan Haoze, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was Zhan Haoze’s secret lover.
Especially since he had an open and above board fiancée by his side.
Her shoulder suddenly hurt. She realized that Zhan Haoze was actually biting her again. She didn’t reach out, and her hand was bound by Zhan Haoze.
“Zhan Haoze.”
This guy had been saying since he got back that she promised him she’d do whatever he wanted tonight. She had been very cooperative. Not only did she impulsively made herself as naked as a newborn baby.
But also took the initiative to wash herself clean and lie on the bed.
But he had tied her hands for so-called pleasure, and unable to move at all, she was like a fish on a chopping board.
Zhan Haoze looked at her angry face. Her angry expression made her look even more beautiful than usual.
He couldn’t help but think of the first time she was under him. She was clearly afraid, and she was clearly hesitating, but she was like a sacrifice.
Her eyes were bright and beautiful. Beautiful but not seductive, delicate but not promiscuous, her eyes were especially attractive. However, it was this kind of woman who gave people the feeling that she was very sultry.
“Focus.” He kissed the faint bite mark. “Otherwise, next time, I won’t bite here.”
“Pervert.”
Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but speak. Zhan Haoze went over and bit the bite mark again, deepening the mark.
Shi Mengwan was in pain but couldn’t even scream.
Her phone rang at this moment. She turned around and saw Su Qingsang’s smiling face on the screen.
At this moment, Zhan Haoze reached out and picked up her phone.
“Zhan Haoze, put it down.”
Zhan Haoze looked at the video call request and shook his phone. “Do you need me to connect it for you?”
“Zhan Haoze.” What did she look like now? How could he dare to let Su Qingsang see it?
Zhan Haoze looked at her panicked face and raised the phone to the side. He stared at the resistant look in Shi Mengwan’s eyes and leaned down again.
“Since you’re afraid of letting others know, then do something to make me satisfied.”
As he spoke, he untied her hands. Shi Mengwan’s hands regained their freedom. The first thing she did was to grab her phone.
Unfortunately, before she could touch the phone, Zhan Haoze had already grabbed her hand.
The phone screen had already darkened. Shi Mengwan bit her lip.
“Give me back my phone.”
He didn’t give it to her. Instead, he threw the phone to the side and pressed mute at the same time. He placed his hand on Shi Mengwan’s body again.
“You said that you would listen to me tonight.”
That was something that she had agreed to in the fitting room. Shi Mengwan didn’t lose her memory, so of course she knew what he was talking about.
Her lips were pursed into a straight line. She didn’t move, and Zhan Haoze wasn’t in a hurry either. He just placed his hands on both sides of her body and stared at her.
In the end, Shi Mengwan was defeated. She gritted her teeth and raised her arms to hug his shoulders
..
For Su Qingsang, the next few days in Qing City were very relaxing.
Huo Jinyao had arranged everything for her. She only needed to bring him along to enjoy the comfortable trip.
The two of them didn’t stay in Qing City for long. It was only a week. The two of them went through all the famous attractions in Qing City.
Back in Lin City, Su Qingsang went back to work after a day of rest. As usual, she brought a bunch of Qing City’s specialties into the hospital.
She was pregnant and married into a family like the Huo family. Even if she didn’t work, no one would say anything.
However, Su Qingsang still insisted on attending the outpatient clinic every day and participated in surgeries, just like before she was pregnant. That became something that she was highly praised for in the hospital.
In fact, in such a big place like China, no doctor in any first-tier city would leave the front line on account of minor wounds. However, because Su Qingsang was Huo Jinyao’s wife, it made people feel that it was especially impressive for her to do this.
As Su Qingsang’s stomach grew bigger, it became more and more stable. She no longer had any nausea, but at least she had a good appetite.
During this period, Liu Tongjia either brought Auntie Zhou over to make soup for Su Qingsang, or invited her back to the old mansion for dinner.
Li Qianxue also flew to Rong City twice to visit her, and each time she came, she brought a ton of bags. As Su Qingsang’s stomach grew bigger, the things they bought started to contained stuff to be used by babies.
The two baby rooms that had been specially tidied up were already filled with the things that the elders had sent over.
Huo Jinyao barely went out to socialize anymore. When he had time, he would go home. When he had nothing to do, he would accompany Su Qingsang for a walk and talk to the baby in his belly.
Ever since Su Qingsang’s baby moved last time, he especially liked to talk to the baby in her belly.
Every time, saying that he was the father and he was letting the children remember his voice, he had to introduce himself very seriously. Su Qingsang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, she felt very touched.
More than three months had passed, and Su Qingsang was already eight months pregnant.
The New Year’s celebration was a little later than usual because of the one-month improvement period this year. When Su Qingsang was eight months pregnant, her belly was already very big.
Even Sun Huiya had asked her to stop working, not to mention Huo Jinyao. She had stopped performing surgeries a long time ago.
Her stomach was too big, and there was no way she could support her platform. She still accepted the outpatient service, but as her stomach got bigger and bigger, Su Qingsang’s stomach was also bigger than the average pregnant woman’s.
Sun Huiya tried her best to arrange some light work for her. It was almost the spring festival. After discussing with the Huo family’s elders, Huo Jinyao asked Su Qingsang to apply for leave directly, which meant that she would be on maternity leave.
Su Qingsang didn’t object. She picked a day and asked the driver to send her to the hospital to go through the paperwork.
Huo Jinyao was especially worried about her now, but she was very insistent. He could only let her go. He only asked her to go home as soon as she was done with the paperwork.
Su Qingsang sometimes thought that Huo Jinyao was very funny. She was pregnant with a huge belly, so where could she go?
She wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t take her own health seriously. She got the chauffeur to accompany her and went home after completing the paperwork. From now on, she would officially rest.
Su Qingsang, who was on leave, was asked by Old Master Huo to move back to the old mansion. First of all, it would be more convenient to take care of her. Second of all, the place here was bigger and the environment was better. It was more suitable for taking care of the fetus.
Su Qingsang didn’t decline this time. Huo Jinyao had to work during the day. Although Auntie Yu was still at home, she was pregnant with twins after all. The situation was different. She might give birth early, and in that case, there would be more people in the old mansion.
Su Qingsang thought that she wouldn’t be used to it, but after moving in, she realized that she wasn’t.
Every morning, she was very sleepy and often couldn’t get up. When she arrived here, no one urged her to get up.
After eating, she read in the garden for a while. Although she didn’t go to work, she still needed to master the skills she needed to learn.
Winter in Rong City was very cold. If she wanted to go out for a walk, she had to wrap herself up like a ball.
Liu Tongjia was especially worried about her. Every time she wanted to go out for a walk, she had to accompany her.
Later, she felt that it wasn’t enough to follow her alone. She even brought Xiao Xia and Xiao Jiang to follow behind her.
Su Qingsang wore a thick down jacket and walked on the small road outside the Huo family’s old residence. Looking at Liu Tongjia holding her hand, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Mom, I’m only eight months pregnant. It’s still early for me to give birth. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
“I’m not nervous.”
Liu Tongjia said this, but she held her hand tightly. “Let me tell you, although this path is flat, you still have to be careful when you walk. If you want me to tell you, don’t take a walk. Just stay at home. Look at the cold weather.”
“Mom.” Su Qingsang didn’t object to her concern, but she said, “I’m a doctor. The right amount of walking will help with the delivery, and you know it’s not good for pregnant women to stay at home all the time.”
“You’re a doctor. If you say so.”
Liu Tongjia couldn’t refute her words. Having a daughter-in-law who was a doctor, she felt that her previous experience of pregnancy was completely useless.
“But why do I hear that you can’t walk for long with twins?”
“Mom, pregnant women have different physiques, so naturally, their situations are different. This needs to be treated differently, so don’t be too nervous.”
“How can I not be nervous? You’re not pregnant with one, but two. Two.”
Liu Tongjia even emphasized the word. Su Qingsang couldn’t help but laugh. “Mom, strictly speaking, two is actually easier to give birth to than one. After all, the fetus for twins can’t be as big as a single fetus.”
When she went for a prenatal check-up the last time, Sun Huiya also said that her children were all healthy, but not particularly big.
If possible, it was better for her to give birth naturally. It was also good for her body’s recovery.
Su Qingsang understood all these principles. If it was possible, she hoped that she could give birth naturally. If it wasn’t allowed, then she would let Sun Huiya operate on her.
As the Chinese New Year approached, the atmosphere in the Huo family became more and more lively.
Su Qingsang would put up spring festival couplets and hang window flowers whenever she was free. These traditional customs had to be carried out every year in the Huo family because of Old Master Huo.
When she was putting up the couplets, Su Qingsang suddenly thought of Xiang Caiping. Last year, she was with Xiang Caiping during the Chinese New Year.
At that time, she already knew that she wasn’t her mother, but she planned to treat her as her own mother. She just didn’t expect how things would turn out after that.
She knew that Li Qianxue wouldn’t like her visiting Xiang Caiping. Now that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, it wasn’t convenient for her to go out.
When Huo Jinyao returned home, she informed him and got someone to send something over to Xiang Caiping.
New Year’s Eve. It was the first time Su Qingsang was spending the New Year’s Eve with such a big family. This experience was quite novel.
Huo Jinyao had successfully tightened his hold on the Tianyu Group. It didn’t matter if it was Huo Mingliang or Huo Mingmei. They could receive dividends from working for the Tianyu Group, but the size of Huo Jinyao’s shares were overpowering.
Even if they were unhappy, they couldn’t do anything about it.
Therefore, the entire family looked quite lively, at least on the surface.
On the first day of the new year, Su Qingsang, who was supposed to wake up early, woke up late. However, no one would call her at this time.
When she went downstairs, she saw Li Qianxue, Su Yuxin, and Old Master Li, who had all rushed over. Su Qingsang almost suspected that she hadn’t woken up yet and was seeing things.
“Grandpa? Mom? Yuxin?”
Su Qingsang was so happy to see Li Qianxue and the others.
The last time Li Qianxue came to see her was more than a month ago. When she saw Su Qingsang now, she felt that she had gained a little weight and her belly seemed to have gotten bigger.
“Yes. Yes, I came to see you. I wanted to come yesterday, but after all, I had some things to deal with at home, so we came here early this morning.”
“What? We’re not welcome?”
“Welcome, Welcome.”
Su Yuxin looked at Su Qingsang’s belly. The two siblings often had video calls and often interacted with each other, but this was the first time he saw Su Qingsang’s belly.
“Is pregnancy always this scary?”
“Yuxin, how can you talk like that?”
Li Qianxue glared at her son. Su Yuxin shrugged. “It is pretty scary. I don’t think anyone else’s belly is this big.”
“I’m a twin. Of course my belly is bigger.”
Su Qingsang looked at Su Yuxin. The two of them hadn’t seen each other for more than half a year. Su Yuxin seemed to have grown taller and more robust.
“It seems that university is indeed a plastic surgery hospital. Yuxin seems to have become more handsome.”
“Of course.”
Su Yuxin was quite proud, but he was still in the Huo family, so he restrained himself.
Old Master Li, who hadn’t spoken this entire time, looked at Su Qingsang with obvious worry in his eyes. “This belly is so big. Have you examined it? What did the doctor Say?”
“Grandpa.” Every time Su Qingsang hears the mention of a doctor, she feels speechless. “I’m a doctor myself. Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
“Really?”
Old Master Li looked at Li Qianxue, who gave birth to two babies. It seemed that her belly had never been that big.
“Really.” Su Qingsang was now used to the feeling of being doubted by the entire family after the past few months. However, she still explained in a serious manner.
Old Master Huo looked at the Huo family and gestured for them to sit down.
Su Qingsang looked at the Huo family members sitting on her left, and then at the Li family members sitting on her right. She suddenly felt that her life could be considered perfect at this point.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it unexpectedly snowed in Rong City.
This was the first snow of the Lunar New Year. When Su Qingsang woke up in the morning, she looked out of the window at the silvery-white snow. She couldn’t help but put on a down jacket, and ran out to look at the snow.
Huo Jinyao didn’t have time to stop her. He quickly put on his jacket and followed beside her.
“Qingsang, let me help you.”
It had been snowing for the entire night. The snow was very thick and had almost reached her calves.
Su Qingsang didn’t step out. She only stood on the corridor. There was no snow under the eaves. The road leading to the outside had been cleaned by Uncle Cheng and his men early in the morning.
However, thick snow could be seen on both sides.
“Didn’t you see it when you came to Rong City? Why do you still look like a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world?”
“Yes, yes, I am a country bumpkin. I just like to see the snow.”
Su Qingsang made a face at him. Huo Jinyao laughed. Su Qingsang had improved a little since she became pregnant, but she was becoming more and more like a little girl in front of him.
“I want to build a snowman.”
Su Qingsang wanted to walk into the garden as she spoke. How could Huo Jinyao dare to let her do it?
“I’ll help you build it. You can stay here.”
“But I want to do it myself.”
“Don’t be willful. You don’t want to freeze the child, do you?”
“I’m wearing such thick clothes.” After Su Qingsang said that, even she realized that she was being willful.
“Alright, then I’ll watch you build it, okay?”
“Okay.”
Huo Jinyao was satisfied with this. He headed towards the garden, where there was a lot of snow on both sides.
“Build a giant panda.” Su Qingsang suddenly had an idea. “Build four, two big and two small, okay?”
Huo Jinyao looked at her helplessly and went to do it. Su Qingsang watched him build the first snowman and couldn’t help but go forward.
“Don’t move. Just stand under the corridor. The road is very slippery.”
“My shoes are anti-skid.”
Su Qingsang took another two steps forward. At this time, Li Qianxue had also woken up and had’ come out.
She couldn’t find her daughter in the house, and when she saw Su Qingsang outside in the cold wind through the window, she immediately ran out nervously.
“Qingsang, what are you doing?”
“Mom?” Su Qingsang heard Li Qianxue’s voice and turned around.
It was a normal action, but Su Qingsang forgot that she was pregnant. She turned too fast and lost her balance.
Huo Jinyao was scared out of his wits when he saw that she was about to fall into the snow. He rushed over and caught Su Qingsang.
“Be careful.”
As Huo Jinyao spoke, he helped Su Qingsang to steady herself.
Li Qianxue also walked over. “How old are you? Yet you’re still so reckless? If you want to see the snow and the snowman, just stay inside and watch.”
“I got it, Mom.”
Wanting Li Qianxue to stop talking, Su Qingsang begged for mercy, but Li Qianxue felt that it wasn’t enough. “You know your current state. Stop looking at the snow. Come, let’s go in.”
After saying that, she glared at Huo Jinyao. “You too. You mess around just because she messes around?”
Huo Jinyao knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly helped Su Qingsang into the house. Su Qingsang stuck out her tongue and looked at Li Qianxue’s back with a guilty expression.
Hinting that she shouldn’t go against Li Qianxue at this time, Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang helplessly.
He helped Su Qingsang into the house. When they were walking up the stairs, he thought that Su Qingsang would be able to stand firmly. However, Su Qingsang suddenly put all her weight on Huo Jinyao.
“Qingsang?”
Su Qingsang’s hand was on her abdomen. She looked a little pale. Li Qianxue, who was in front of her, had already turned around and saw that she didn’t look well.
“Qingsang? Are you okay?”
“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang shook her head and tried her best to remain calm. “I might be giving birth soon.”
“What?” Huo Jinyao was stunned. “Isn’t there almost a month left until the due date?”
