Chapter 240 Another Check-in
Mingyuan glared at her, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh. After being married for several years, he knew her personality all too well. He knelt down and began massaging her feet.
"Do you know that Gu Yunhuan?" When we went in earlier, I heard her talking about how she stole Xiao Qiu's boyfriend, and I was indignant on her behalf.
Xu Ruo pursed her lips and said, "They're just Ashu's cheap twin sisters."
"A member of the Gu family, Yun Shu's sister?"
"Yes, Ashu told me about some things concerning the Gu family a few days ago. They were planning to teach Gu Yunhuan, one of Li Meng's twin daughters, a lesson."
Xu Ruo felt very comfortable as Mingyuan massaged her feet, and she looked completely relaxed. But not long after, Mingyuan's hand slipped inside her short skirt.
"Damn it, where did you press?"
"You've been neglecting your discipline these past few days, and you've already suspected I have other women. Humph! Don't think I don't know why you came here today." Thinking about his work later, Mingyuan only wanted to give his wife a small punishment, and he withdrew his hand after a few mischievous swipes.
Xu Ruo blushed when she thought of the absurd things the two of them did here that year.
"Let's go, I'll see you out. I have something to do later, Monday is busy, I can't spend time with you, I'll make it up to you when I get back tonight... What kind of shoes are these? Are they even fit for human wear! Don't wear shoes like these again, you're not short, why wear such high heels, how are short women supposed to live!" The man who was helping Xu Ru put on her shoes kept muttering to himself.
"I don't usually wear it." Hearing him grumble, Xu Ruo was actually quite pleased. Her man still cared for her just like before. However, considering it was Monday, the doctors were indeed very busy. She had originally planned to go see Yun Shu, but she figured she was busy too.
Finally, Mingyuan led Xu Ruo through the hospital lobby, escorted her to the hospital entrance, and told her to drive carefully.
After Xu Ruomei died, many women in the hospital who knew them were jealous, envious, and resentful of Xu Ruomei. This woman then went to the hospital to show off her affection for Director Chen, showering everyone with their lovey-dovey displays.
"Go back now, I'll drive carefully!" Tong Mingyuan waved and happily drove away.
When Mingyuan returned to his office, his assistant said to him, "Director, your wife is checking up on you again!"
"Yeah! So please don't invite me to those places normally." He chuckled and went inside.
Like those young doctors who are not yet married, sometimes they go to bars for a couple of drinks to relieve work stress. Mingyuan, apart from going to his family's bar with Xu Ruo, has never been to nightclubs or other bars.
When Xu Ruo returned home, she asked one of her servants to take care of Xiao Qiu. Even though they were siblings, Xu Ruo didn't want them to have too much contact. After all, Xiao Qiu used to like Ming Yuan, so she didn't want them to have too much contact just in case.
Then I saw An'an playing, and thinking that Beibei's birthday was in the next couple of days, I changed into flat shoes and prepared to go out to buy Beibei a gift.
When we went to the big shopping mall where we usually shop, we mostly bought toys for the boy. Beibei is only three years old, so we bought him some simple toys that he can play with. Unlike their An'an, who has a whole room full of Hello Kitty dolls and stuffed animals, all of which that brat made Mingyuan buy for her. That girl is spoiled rotten by Mingyuan, unlike Beibei who is so well-behaved.
I entered the large shopping mall. There weren't many people inside on Monday. I passed through the women's clothing section and bought two items on a whim, looking at the seasonal clothes. Wait a minute, I think I heard a familiar voice.
Isn't that Yiyi? She's across the alley. I saw her talking to a strange man. Could this be her recent blind date? No wonder he hasn't been bothering her and Ashu lately; she's found someone new and probably forgot about Sheng Huainan.
She didn't go over to say hello while she was on a date; instead, she went straight to the toy section to pick out a gift for Beibei.
It's Beibei's birthday today, so Yunshu and Mingkun left work early, booked a restaurant, and invited some familiar faces over for dinner. Xu Ruo's family, including Xu Yang, came along. Xu Ya and her husband, Yiyi, and Huainan also came.
When Huainan saw Yiyi, he wanted to ask her how she had been, but she just nodded to him and went to talk to Xu Ruo and the others.
At this moment, Huainan felt incredibly disappointed. He knew she had been on blind dates recently and had reportedly found a boyfriend. He thought they should be getting married soon. He was the one who broke up with her back then, so he couldn't blame her. Now that no one would bother him anymore, shouldn't he be happy? But no matter what, he couldn't feel happy at all.
The moment Jin Yuan saw Yun Shu, he couldn't help but shout, "Sister-in-law!" It turned out that what Xu Ya said was true; his sister-in-law was unmarried and had even given birth to a son for Brother Kun.
"Jin Yuan, treat Xu Ya well from now on. Don't bully her, understand?" Yun Shu warned him seriously.
Jin Yuan nodded heavily. Ming Kun smiled at Jin Yuan, who was still in shock. It was a pity that his older sister was pregnant and lived far away, and Tie Tou was away on a business trip, so he couldn't invite them over.
Little Beibei is celebrating her birthday today and is very happy to receive many gifts.
Yun Shu looked at her son's happy smile and felt gratified; her son had grown another year older.
Looking at the mother and child, Yiyi sighed, "Ah Shu! Now that Beibei is so cute, it's all worth it when I think about how you were in pain for a whole day and night in the hospital, unable to give birth, and refusing a C-section." She then glanced at Mingkun casually.
Sure enough, Mingkun's smile vanished after hearing this, and he looked at Yunshu with heartache. Yiyi thought to herself, "Hmph! When you're doting on your son, don't forget the mother who endured ten months of pregnancy and the immense hardship of giving birth to your child."
"Yiyi, you've been quite the ladies' man lately. I saw you shopping with a handsome guy the other day. You looked like a perfect match."
"Of course, you already have a child. If I don't get married soon, you'll have a second child by then!" Yi Yi didn't mind Xu Ruo saying that to her at all; Xu Ruo could never win an argument with her.
Yun Shu looked at Huai Nan, and sure enough, Huai Nan immediately looked at Yi Yi, his eyes filled with regret. He fiddled with the cup in his hand, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
We were late for dinner, around 8 PM, but everyone was chatting and laughing, it was a lively meal. After dinner, we were all a little reluctant to part ways. If we didn't have to go to work the next day, we would have liked to go sing karaoke and have some more fun before going home.
"Mommy, does An'an want to go to Auntie's house?"
"It's too late today, An'an, be good, let's go to Auntie's house to play another day."
Xiao An'an was very happy to see Bei Bei. The two families lived far apart, and she didn't usually go to Yun Shu's house. Xiao An'an had no playmates at home. The neighborhood was full of mansions where rich people lived, and there were no other children to play with. She was very uncomfortable.
"Ah Shu, let's send them all to kindergarten together in the second half of the year. They'll be three years old, and in three months they'll be old enough to go to kindergarten."
