Chapter 199 So be it
An Xiaoyue introduced Hua Lan to Leng Shize and An Jiaren, "These two are my parents, and this is Hua Lan, my college classmate."
As the younger generation, Hua Lan very politely greeted them first, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Leng Shi smiled and nodded, "Hello."
An Jiaren smiled gently and said, "Hello, Hua Lan."
Hua Lan was mesmerized. Xiao Yue's parents were so elegant; no wonder Xiao Yue was so beautiful and elegant too. It turned out she inherited it from her parents.
"Would you like to see Lucky? He's a handsome young man!" An Jiaren warmly "promoted" her grandson.
An Xiaoyue looked on with admiration. Her mother was indeed a senior teacher; she could see through Hua Lan's unease at a glance.
"Yes, I will," Hua Lan replied brightly, happily moving closer.
An Xiaoyue leaned against the bed, watching the interaction between Hua Lan and Xingyun.
Both of them are adorable, and the scene is inexplicably pleasant.
Fu Shengyang answered the phone and came in, sitting down next to her. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
An Xiaoyue shook her head, her smile radiant with happiness, "No."
Fu Shengyang: "A friend is coming in a little while, and Uncle Fu is also taking Grandpa with him."
"Okay." An Xiaoyue nodded, indicating that she understood.
Hua Lan hadn't been looking at it for long when Xingyun started crying again.
Everyone knows from experience that he must have been hungry to have been out taking a shower for so long.
Sister Qiu wrung out a warm handkerchief for An Xiaoyue, and she hid under the thin quilt to wipe her chest.
Seeing that everyone had gone to the living room, Hua Lan probably knew what Xiao Yue was going to do, so she didn't want to disturb her any further.
"Xiaoyue, I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."
An Xiaoyue was busy breastfeeding and didn't have time to take care of Hua Lan. Given Hua Lan's passive personality, she was even less likely to have a conversation with her family.
An Xiaoyue told her, "Contact me if anything happens. I'll listen to you when I have time."
"Okay." Hua Lan was touched; Xiao Yue was so kind to her.
Seeing that she was about to leave, An Jiaren said, "Auntie will see you off."
"No need, Auntie, I can find the elevator." Hua Lan quickly waved her hand to refuse. Taking care of Xingyun and Xiaoyue was already tiring enough, and she didn't want to trouble them.
"Okay, then you can play with Xiaoyue again when you have time."
Hua Lan turned around and said, "Yes, Auntie."
Xiaoyue's family is so kind that she wants to visit Xiaoyue whenever she has time, even without Xiaoyue's invitation, as long as Xiaoyue doesn't find it troublesome.
An Jiaren stood at the door and waited until her figure turned the corner before returning to the room.
Hua Lan stood in the crowd, silently staring at the elevator display screen.
She has a peaceful state of mind, and no matter what lies ahead, she can face it bravely.
Every time she was with Xiaoyue, she would want to become a better version of herself, and this time the feeling was especially strong.
Chu Xiao, that's settled then.
Hua Lan pursed her lips, making up her mind.
Both the upper and lower elevators stopped at the same floor. Hua Lan just kept looking ahead and squeezed her way into the elevator.
She didn't even notice that in another elevator, a man's sharp, hawk-like eyes were precisely watching her through the crowd.
Chu Xiao stood in the crowd, his tall figure towering over the crowd, and he spotted Hua Lan at a glance.
He subconsciously looked around Hua Lan, but there was no sign of the tanned young man.
Is she alone?
Wasn't her boyfriend with her?
She must have come to see Fu Shengyang's wife too.
Chu Xiao was ushered out of the elevator by the crowd, but the elevator doors next to him had already closed.
He strode towards the fire escape staircase opposite the elevator.
The moment the door opened, the July heatwave engulfed him.
He was stunned for a few seconds.
If I catch up with her, what can I say to her?
She already has a new boyfriend.
The words, "You don't understand men at all, so how can you know what love is?" echoed in my ears.
She said she didn't understand men, so she found a new boyfriend.
She was always well-behaved, but this time her obedience touched his heart.
He couldn't offer her any promises or companionship, so he shouldn't disturb her new life.
Chu Xiao took a step back, his hand hanging limply at his side, and resolutely turned and walked towards the maternity ward.
In the ward, An Xiaoyue lay on her side in bed, breastfeeding Xingyun.
Perhaps he was too tired from taking a bath, because he fell asleep after only eating for a few minutes.
An Xiaoyue tidied her clothes and then rested for a while.
Thinking of what Hua Lan had mentioned about the update, she wondered when Sheng Yang had posted it.
If you can see the orchids, it probably wasn't posted on social media.
Since Sheng Yang doesn't have any short video apps, it must be Weibo.
An Xiaoyue had just opened Weibo when she heard lively greetings coming from outside.
"Chu Xiao, good lad, how many years has it been since you came back?" That was the voice of his father, Leng Shize.
You could tell from his voice that he was very excited.
Who is Chu Xiao? An Xiaoyue asked, puzzled.
A deep, gruff male voice responded, "It's been more than four years."
Leng Shize: "More than four years, that's quite a long time. What made you decide to come back this time?"
"Sheng Yang is becoming a father, and Uncle Shi Ze has found his daughter after many years. Such a joyous occasion, of course I had to come back." Chu Xiao's skin was dark, and when he lied, you couldn't tell whether his face was red or not.
“But you really should come back.” Fu Shengyang tossed him a bottle of mineral water.
Chu Xiao easily caught it, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down a big mouthful.
Fu Shengyang added, "A while ago, Dad bought Xiaoyue a laparoscopic model. It was delivered by your father. I noticed that Uncle Chu's hair has turned mostly white."
Chu Xiao looked relaxed. "I went back and saw him. He's just too worried."
People in the industry know more or less about the Chu family's affairs.
Every family has its own troubles, so it's not good to say much about what other families are going through.
"Chu Xiao, this is your Aunt Jiaren." Leng Shi then changed the subject and introduced An Jiaren to Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao was a little older than Fu Shengyang. He hadn't had much contact with the Leng family before, except for his parents' relationship. He didn't have much memory of Leng Jiaren.
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Jiaren."
An Jiaren: "Thank you for your thoughtful choice of the gift for Xiaoyue, Dad."
After An Xiaoyue won first place in the medical skills competition, she and Leng Shizhe discussed buying Xiaoyue a laparoscopic model so that she could practice more delicate suturing techniques at home.
After exchanging pleasantries, Fu Shengyang went first to check on the child and Xiaoyue.
An Xiaoyue stopped playing on her phone when she heard the commotion outside.
After Lucky finished feeding, Sister Qiu held him for a while to make sure he wouldn't spit up before putting him in his crib to sleep.
“One of my good friends is here, would you like to meet him?” Fu Shengyang asked for her opinion.
An Xiaoyue had heard that Fu Shengyang had another close friend besides Ji Yubai, so she naturally wanted to meet him when he came.
"Okay."
Fu Shengyang: "I'll let him in."
A few seconds later, Fu Shengyang appeared at the door with a man.
The man had dark skin, and his every move was precise and methodical, as if he had been trained.
He was a little shorter than Fu Shengyang and was also more robust.
Fu Shengyang looks thin, but when he takes off his clothes, his muscle lines are clearly visible.
But the person in front of me was wearing a black T-shirt, with full, powerful muscles in his arms and shoulders, and a more steady gait.
Especially his eyes; when he looks at people, his gaze is sharp and intimidating.
"This is An Xiaoyue, my wife," Fu Shengyang introduced.
Chu Xiao said in a flat tone, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Fu Shengyang then introduced, "Chu Xiao is a bit older than me."
An Xiaoyue saw him and smiled slightly, "Hello, Brother Chu."
"Come see my lucky baby, my son." Fu Shengyang happily pushed the crib over.
Chu Xiao wasn't interested in children, but he politely looked at one and asked for the child's name.
“Fu Chengyun,” Fu Shengyang said.
Chu Xiao raised an eyebrow, "It sounds grand and full of the love of elders."
"It was chosen by the elders of both families." This was exactly the response Fu Shengyang wanted.
Chu Xiao glanced at it seemingly unintentionally, but his gaze finally settled on the knitwear on the table, a craft that Hua Lan was skilled in.
She had also crocheted hats, scarves, and sweaters for him.
