Chapter 425
“You don’t want to have more of it?” Zhou Dayuan stretched his thumb out to wipe the juice at the corners of her lips clean.
Jian Han pondered for a moment. Her almond shaped eyes were moist and wet, it was clear all the way to the bottom as she replied coyly, “I want to drink more, but for the good of our baby, I will drink a little less, haha.”
Zhou Dayuan looked at her gentle expression, his clear eyes had a smile in it as he said, “Wifey is so obedient.”
He lowered his gaze, and he drank the remaining sour plum juice that she held in her small hands.
He came over to hug her again. Jian Han casually nested her small head on his chest. They did not say too much. His jaw would nudge the top of her head frequently, and he nudged her lovingly.
Jian Han felt this time they spent together was so beautiful.
They passed by a truck selling cotton candy at the side of the road. Jian Han could not help herself and looked at the sweet smelling cotton candy that had a delicious fragrance.
“Do you want some?” Zhou Dayuan asked with a smile.
“Mum.” Ning Qing put her chopsticks down, and she patted her mother’s back.
Zhou Dayuan listened on and felt something was amiss. “Aunt, did anything happen last night that lead my grandma to forget to contact my grandpa?”
“No, we ate dinner last night, chatted and slept. If Old Madam Zhou wanted to make a call, she could tell me so, but she did not mention it, and at that time, I also didn’t think of it.”
“Chat? Mum, what did Old Madam Zhou chat with you about?”
Yue Wanqing thought about it carefully. “Actually we didn’t talk much. Old Madam Zhou was very benevolent. She heard that I was an orphan and wanted to see my childhood pictures. We went upstairs to take the album, and I told her about Qingqing, Shaoming, and also Little Qinwen. At that time, Old Madam Zhou was very happy about this.”
After she spoke, Yue Wanqing felt that the atmosphere around the table become serious.
She did not understand. “What’s wrong?”
“Mum,” Ning Qing said in shock. “You probably still do not know; I met Old Madam Zhou once. She has a daughter. She was separated from her daughter when she was eight years old. Old Madam Zhou had been searching for her daughter ever since.”
Yue Wanqing was shocked. “This…”
They were both orphans at the age of eight, and Old Madam Zhou still went to look for Yue Wanqing…
The people around the table were all intelligent. The little clues would make them have many guesses. Lu Shaoming expression was a little serious, and he looked at Zhou Dayuan who was seated opposite him as he asked, “What do you think?”
Zhou Dayuan moved his thin lips. Although he looked confident, there was suspicion in his warm dark eyes. “I saw that Tong Li today. After 40 years, who cannot use her appearance to decide if she is my grandfather’s daughter, but there is something. My parent’s attitude was too abnormal. Who would not hope for Dou Dou to come back home? Who else would it be other than my parents? They are afraid that Dou Dou would come back home and snatch their inheritance away. But my parents were behaving too abnormally. They actually were so protective of that Tong Li, and when Tong Li spoke, my parents were nervous.”
Lu Shaoming nodded his head, and he looked at Yue Wanqing. “If Tong Li is a fake Dou Dou, then where is the real Dou Dou? Old Madam Zhou followed Mum home. Did she realize something? If you compare Mum’s background and Dou Dou’s, could it be…”
“It cannot be.” Ning Qing shook her head. She could not believe it. “How can my mother be Old Madam Zhou’s daughter that she lost years ago? This is too…dramatic.”
At this moment, the chopsticks in Yue Wanqing’s hands fell to the floor with a bang! She looked at Zhou Dayuan and stuttered, “All of you were saying… Old Master Zhou’s daughter was called what?”
Zhou Dayuan’s eyes lit up, and he spat out two clear words: “Dou Dou.”
…
After eating lunch, Zhou Dayuan and Jian Han boarded the car. Zhou Dayuan caressed Jian Han’s head. “We were busy with grandma in the morning, and I didn’t bring you for a health check. Let’s go; let’s go to the hospital now.”
The Porsche cruised on the streets smoothly. Jian Han was taken aback as she said, “Hubby, which hospital are you bringing me to? Why don’t we do the check at the hospital that Grandma is in right now?”
Zhou Dayuan did not turn his head. His warm and gentle face did not have any emotions on it. He curled up the corners of his lips as he said, “We are going to the hospital that you are working in. You are pregnant now. It is time for you to apply for maternity leave. Let’s go do the check there, and you can apply for maternity leave at the same time.”
“Oh.” Jian Han nodded her head.
Hearing her obedient voice, Zhou Dayuan turned her head to look at her. The small woman lay her small head on the seat, and she was a little sleepy at noon. She kneaded her hand into a small fist as she rubbed her eyes. Noting that he was looking at her, she quickly put a sweet smile on her face.
Zhou Dayuan curled the corners of his lips up, and he broke out into a smile.
…
After arriving at the hospital, Doctor Chen from Obstetrics and Gynaecology was standing in the corridor as she chatted with a few nurses. Jian Han was old friends with Doctor Chen, and they had started working with one another back in Singapore.
After seeing her arrive, Doctor Chen held her hand quickly as she said. “Jian Han, why are you here only now? I haven’t seen you report for work these past few days.”
“That’s right, Doctor Jian, where did you go these past few days? We thought it was weird. Director Tang also disappeared. Both of you wouldn’t secretly go for your honeymoon right?” a nurse asked.
Jian Han froze for a moment. She wanted to deny it. At this moment Doctor Chen looked at the nurse with a displeased expression on her face. “Go go go, Xiao Li. Don’t speak nonsense if you don’t understand the situation.” As she spoke, Doctor Chen looked at Jian and said, “Say it now, why are you looking for me?”
Jian Han pursed her red lips, and she had a smile on her face. Her small, gentle face was a little shy as she said, “I am here to do a thorough check. I…am pregnant now.”
