Xiao Xichen chuckled, "Mother-in-law, I like both boys and girls!"
"Oh ho ho... Xiao son-in-law, I still think a boy would be better..."
Cheng Youran blushed, stomping her foot in anger, "Mom, what kind of mom are you! What nonsense are you two talking about!"
The two of them looked at her with strange expressions, and Cheng Youran bit her lip, "I’m not even sure I’ll marry him! Even if I do, I don’t want to have kids so early!"
After she finished speaking, Cheng’s mom burst into laughter, "Honey, what are you thinking? I was discussing raising a puppy with Xiao son-in-law! Why did you think about having kids?"
Xiao Xichen happily chid in, "You Ruran, as long as you want kids, after we get married, I’ll certainly put in the effort!"
Cheng Youran: ...!! Put effort, my foot!
"Ugh... I really can’t stand you two! I’m going upstairs!" Cheng Youran turned and ran forward, covering her face.
"Bang!"
Because her face was covered, she accidentally ran right into soone, quickly muttering "Sorry" repeatedly.
As she looked up, she t a pair of gentle and deep eyes.
"Uncle..." she murmured.
Shi Nianchu nodded in greeting and handed her a gift box, "Supplents from my mom, brought from her hotown."
"Thank you."
Cheng Youran accepted the gift box, feeling a bit awkward and unsure how to face him.
Shi Nianchu, with his keen sense, noticed her discomfort from her body language, and with a self-deprecating smile, he gently said, "I’ll be heading off now."
"Goodbye." Cheng Youran felt a weight lift off her shoulders and exhaled deeply, a detail that didn’t escape Shi Nianchu’s notice.
He was about to leave when a "thud" sound was heard from behind, like sothing heavy fell to the ground!
He rushed back quickly, only to see Xiao Xichen kneeling on the ground, and there on the martial arts hall’s wooden floor lay Cheng’s mom!
Cheng’s mom had fainted!!
Shi Nianchu’s pupils contracted sharply as he hurried over, Cheng Youran was so scared her face turned white, trembling as she quickly called for ergency help, the digits "120" took nearly a minute to dial with her shaking hands.
The entire martial arts hall was in chaos.
After finally waiting for the ambulance to arrive, the doctor placed Cheng’s mom on a stretcher into the ambulance, Shi Nianchu got on the ergency vehicle, and Xiao Xichen turned back to hold Cheng Youran tightly in his arms!
"Don’t worry, mother-in-law will be alright..."
Cheng Youran, like a startled rabbit, was at a loss, her voice tinged with a strong nasal sound, "Xiao Xichen... how could my mom faint... she clearly has been so healthy, dancing two hours at the square dance every evening..."
The little woman in his arms trembled, her usual façade gone, at this mont, she was just a frightened young girl whose mother had fainted.
Xiao Xichen gently patted her back, "Don’t let your mind wander; I’ll take you to the hospital."
...
Hospital.
Cheng’s mom was in the ergency room, Shi Nianchu was busy handling all the complicated paperwork, and Xiao Xichen was sitting with Cheng Youran on the long bench in the hallway.
Seeing Cheng Youran’s lips were dry, Xiao Xichen felt a rush of compassion, "I’ll go get you sothing to drink."
Cheng Youran nodded absentmindedly.
Soon after Xiao Xichen left, the rhythmic sound of high heels clacking on the floor approached, stopping in front of her.
