Chapter 876: 876, Is Chu Er a dog? Can a dog change the habit of eating poop? Chapter 876: 876, Is Chu Er a dog? Can a dog change the habit of eating poop? Shi Huan looked at her, and for a mont, her mind went blank, almost unable to think normally.
“Huanhuan.” Shi Qingge extended her hand, placing it on Shi Huan’s slightly trembling hand.
Her voice was gentle, “I’m telling you these things not because I want to change anything. Don’t overthink it. I know you have already registered your marriage with Axui, and I know you like Axui a lot. What happened between and Axui is in the past now, I just bla myself for not cherishing him back then…”
With a soft sigh, Shi Qingge continued, “I have now returned having completed my studies, and I want to restart my life, so I am telling you the truth, hoping you can accept it.”
Accept?
What was there to accept?
Shi Huan looked at her, her complexion growing paler.
The next second.
“Little Luoluo is my daughter, so I should take her away, and not let her continue to affect your life…”
“No…” Shi Huan imdiately shook her head, “It’s not like that, Luoluo is my daughter, I liked her very much the first ti I t her, and she also liked a lot. At that ti, my uncle personally told that Luoluo is my biological child. Five years ago, he was worried that the child would affect my life, which is why he raised Luoluo as his own daughter for five years. I’ve finally managed to take Luoluo back; she is mine, she is mine…”
“Wake up!” Shi Qingge suddenly interrupted, “Your uncle is completely unaware of the truth. I know you like Luoluo a lot, but she really isn’t your daughter…”
Shi Huan continued to shake her head, her eyes red, unwilling to believe any of it.
From the first mont she saw Little Luoluo, she felt her heart lt; she liked the child very much, and Luoluo was very attached to her.
She used to think it was because they were cousins, but later her uncle told her that Luoluo was actually her biological daughter, and she realized her affection for Luoluo was because of the “mother-daughter bond.”
In the past four months, she had grown accustod to treating Luoluo as her own daughter…
“I know it’s very difficult for you to accept this, and I also know that what I’m doing is a bit too selfish, but I’m really doing this for your good. Don’t worry, Huanhuan, I will definitely take good care of Luoluo. After all, I am her biological mother and the woman who gave birth to her for the man I love…”
“Qingge.” Qian Yulin, unable to bear it any longer, hurriedly interrupted her daughter.
A flash of displeasure appeared in Shi Qingge’s eyes, but quickly, she nodded slightly, “Let’s do this, I’ll give you so ti to think it over.”
She stood up, picked up the designer bag next to her, “Mom, let’s go back first.”
Qian Yulin, however, was worried, “Huanhuan, are you okay?”
“…” Shi Huan didn’t speak, only biting her lip tightly, her fingers tensed, her entire body slightly trembling.
“Huanhuan, don’t scare Mom, Mom feels…”
“That’s enough, Mom.” Shi Qingge held back Qian Yulin, glancing at the tightly closed door, “It’s getting late, let’s go back first, we shouldn’t delay the child’s al.”
Speaking of the child, Qian Yulin could only comply and stand up.
Still unable to resist advising, “Huanhuan, don’t be too upset. Although Luoluo isn’t your biological daughter, she is still your niece, and since she is Axui’s child, she can still call you ‘mom’ in the future…”
“Enough, Mom, don’t upset Huanhuan anymore.” Shi Qingge hurriedly pulled her mother, “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Qian Yulin felt helpless, just like that, she was pulled away.
**
Once they were outside.
The midday sunlight was intense, causing Qian Yulin to squint her eyes, “Qingge, was everything you just said true?”
Shi Qingge nodded.
“Why didn’t you tell beforehand?” Qian Yulin couldn’t help but complain, “If you had told , I wouldn’t have brought you here…”
“I didn’t intend to say it.” Shi Qingge furrowed her brow, her tone filled with reluctance, “But when I saw Little Luoluo, saw how beautiful and cute she is, I couldn’t help myself…”
“Sigh.” Indeed, Qian Yulin felt pity too, “But Huanhuan has had such a hard ti these years. Previously, because of your aunt, she was almost harassed by those n; even now, there are still blood clots in her brain, and she has even lost so of her mory… She’s finally reached happiness after hardship, I really can’t bear seeing her so upset…”
“But Mom, Luoluo is my child, I can’t bear to see her calling soone else Mom!”
Qian Yulin’s face was filled with worry, “How did this happen? Why didn’t you say anything and just left back then? Otherwise…”
“Back then, I left to study abroad. It’s all my fault. I was young and I was too scared to say anything, afraid that Grandma couldn’t accept it.”
Although Grandmother Shi doted on Shi Qingge and always took pride in her, she was also temperantal and extrely concerned with the family reputation. If she found out that her most proud granddaughter was pregnant before marriage…
Qian Yulin shook her head, indeed, there was nothing good to say.
She kept sighing, “This is a sin, truly a sin…”
Suddenly, she looked up at her daughter again, “Qingge, you don’t still have feelings for Axui, do you?”
Hearing this, a flash of emotion crossed Shi Qingge’s beautiful face, but it was quickly replaced by the usual lancholy, “Mom, to say I have no feelings would be a lie.”
Qian Yulin’s expression changed.
“But I’m not the teenager I once was. I know he and Huanhuan are married now, and he’s going to be my brother-in-law, so I won’t do anything foolish, don’t worry.” Shi Qingge assured, “I just want to get Luoluo back. I won’t cause any trouble.”
After hearing this, Qian Yulin finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying with relief, “Qingge, it’s good that you understand. Huanhuan really has it tough, Mom hopes she can be happy with Axui.”
“She’s my biological sister, of course, I hope she can be happy.” Shi Qingge hooked her mother’s arm, “Mom, seeing her live so well earlier, honestly, I was quite happy for her.”
“Yes.” Qian Yulin nodded busily, “I also used to think Axui was unreliable, but after they got their marriage certificate, Axui seed to have changed. There are no more ssy scandals, and he stopped his wild lifestyle. Every day on Huanhuan’s social dia, it’s Axui taking her and Luoluo to different places to play. Huanhuan has beco more confident, and she’s even more beautiful than before…”
Shi Qingge listened quietly, a faint smile hanging on her lips.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that the smile was extrely rigid, and the jealousy in her eyes was completely undisguised…
**
In the living room, from the mont the mother and daughter left, Shi Huan sat alone, unable to recover her senses for a long ti.
Until a sound of footsteps arose.
Imdiately afterward,
“Huanhuan!” Little Luoluo pounced on her like a little butterfly.
Shi Huan was taken aback and hurriedly lifted her head.
However, Little Luoluo was looking down at the teacup shattered into fragnts and the water stains on the ground, her little eyebrows furrowing, “Huanhuan, the cup is broken!”
The little girl’s voice was soft and milky, and because of her worry, her delicate and pretty little face was all twisted up, incredibly adorable.
Yet suddenly Shi Huan’s eyes reddened.
“Huanhuan, what’s wrong?” Little Luoluo looked at her, slightly scared.
Shi Huan hurriedly said, “I’m fine.”
But it was too late.
“Huanhuan is crying!” Little Luoluo turned her head and yelled.
Chu Xiuhuang had just erged from the audio-visual room and upon hearing this, his expression changed and he quickly approached with long strides.
Shi Huan said nothing, quickly bending down, “Luoluo, let clean this up first…”
In her flurry, she failed to notice she had brushed against a sharp shard.
“Hiss—”
A sharp pain quickly spread through her finger.
“Huanhuan is bleeding!” Little Luoluo’s eyes widened.
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Shi Huan said quickly, pinching her finger.
But very soon, Chu Xiuhuang had already reached out.
Without a word, he parted his thin lips and took her finger into his mouth.
Shi Huan: “…”
The man’s warm lips and tongue carefully sucked the fresh blood off her finger, then he reached into the drawer under the coffee table, pulling out a first aid kit.
“Luoluo, help Daddy get a Band-Aid.”
Little Luoluo busily opened the first aid kit and from a pile of unrecognizable dicine boxes, she found a cartoon-decorated package and took out a pink bunny-patterned Band-Aid.
In the past, every ti she got hurt, Huanhuan would always help her apply one just like this.
Chu Xiuhuang skillfully applied the Band-Aid to her injured finger, then lowered his head and gently kissed the Band-Aid.
Looking up again, his exquisitely handso face was full of inquiry, “What happened? How did the cup end up falling and breaking?”
“I was careless,” said Shi Huan, her head hung low, her voice very soft.
After speaking, she wanted to retract her finger, but it was held tightly by Chu Xiuhuang.
“Just careless?” Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, obviously not convinced, “Where are your mom and your sister?”
“… Oh, they’ve already left.”
Chu Xiuhuang eyed her narrowly.
Sothing was amiss.
Although Shi Huan had always been quite shy, the two had been together so long that she had gradually been changing, but at that mont, why did it feel like she was avoiding him…
She didn’t even dare to lift her head?
“Right.” Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, “What happened with your sister back then? I rember she didn’t commit suicide, so how did she end up bleeding abroad?”
Hearing this question, Shi Huan pursed her lips.
Finally, she lifted her head, “I want to ask you a question.”
“Go ahead,” Chu Xiuhuang said, sowhat gratified.
Since she was willing to approach him with a question, it seed she still trusted him quite a bit.
Little did he know…
Shi Huan looked at him, hesitating to speak, her eyes constantly changing, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask anything.
“What do you want to ask?” Chu Xiuhuang prompted gently.
Shi Huan opened her mouth, “I…”
Chu Xiuhuang, sowhat helpless, simply said, “Are you wanting to ask about what happened with your sister back then?”
Shi Huan was startled, “You… know?”
Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips, “Ever since I saw your sister earlier, you’ve seed a bit off, did she tell you sothing?”
Shi Huan nodded.
“Don’t overthink things,” Chu Xiuhuang soothed her, “We’ve been registered as married for so long now, don’t you trust ?”
“I’m not doubting you!” Shi Huan quickly assured him.
To be honest, ever since she was injured, Chu Xiuhuang had practically transford into a perfect man.
Apart from when they were alone and he would often speak bluntly, saying things she couldn’t handle,
he was nearly perfect at other tis, never fooling around but always staying close to her and Luoluo, following wherever she went…
Recently, Shi Huan felt her headaches were gradually improving and she wanted to start dealing with company matters again, but Chu Xiuhuang had told her not to worry too much… unlike before when he’d seed to want to exploit her very last bit of value!
In short, compared to before, Chu Xiuhuang seed like he had beco another person.
Shi Huan certainly rembered his past romantic exploits.
For instance, every ti his company attended a cocktail party, he needed a different style of female companion, he would change girlfriends every three months, and because he had too many girlfriends, he often forgot their nas, regularly needing his secretary to remind him…
How far he had gone with those girlfriends, one could guess without thinking.
But Shi Huan wasn’t such a conservative or rigid woman.
After all, considering Chu Xiuhuang’s status and wealth, as well as his looks, it was indeed quite normal for him to have had so many girlfriends before.
She had been working since she was eighteen, having been in the business arena for so long, to be honest, she had never seen a man who did not engage in pleasures.
Chu Xiuhuang was single at that ti, and given his qualifications, it was completely understandable for his private life to be a bit ssy.
But accepting those won didn’t an she had to accept that he had also had that kind of relationship with her own sister…
Previously, she knew that Chu Xiuhuang had liked Shi Qingge, and had even pursued her openly.
But what she rembered more clearly was that Shi Qingge didn’t like Chu Xiuhuang at all at that ti, and the two had never been together, otherwise she wouldn’t have accepted Chu Xiuhuang’s marriage proposal…
But now, why did Shi Qingge say they had been together? And had Little Luoluo together?
The more Shi Huan thought about it, the more confused she beca, and she couldn’t help but ask directly, “Xiuhuang, did you and my sister have a relationship before?”
However, Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t help but laugh, “Why? Are you jealous?”
Shi Huan: “…”
Perhaps seeing that her expression wasn’t very good, Chu Xiuhuang imdiately replied seriously, “Don’t worry, I don’t like her anymore.”
Shi Huan again: “…”
He doesn’t like her now?
aning he indeed liked her before…
Although this answer was within her expectations, Shi Huan couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.
“I like you now!” Chu Xiuhuang added quickly.
After speaking, he leaned in, wanting to kiss her.
The man’s familiar and pleasant scent overwheld her, his handso features also closed in slowly.
Sowhat unexpectedly, Shi Huan abruptly stepped back.
Because of her sudden reaction, Chu Xiuhuang stopped the gesture, and as he looked at Shi Huan and was about to speak…
“Sir, madam, lunch is ready.” Aunt Xu’s voice arose.
Chu Xiuhuang responded with a voice and could only pull her by turning around, “Alright, let’s go eat first.”
…
Thus, Shi Huan was pulled by him to the dining room.
She sat there, watching Chu Xiuhuang gently place Little Luoluo in the chair before arranging her food and setting the little spoon properly.
As she watched, Shi Huan couldn’t help but feel sowhat dazed.
It always felt like a huge stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe, and she didn’t have much appetite.
After rely eating a few bites, she stood up, “I’m a bit tired, I want to go upstairs to rest.”
Chu Xiuhuang was picking fish bones for Little Luoluo, and upon hearing this, he looked up at her, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just feeling a bit tired,” Shi Huan said softly, looking down.
“Huanhuan, are you feeling unwell?” Little Luoluo also asked with concern, her voice soft and tender.
“I’m fine.” Shi Huan forced a smile at her, then turned and left.
Chu Xiuhuang watched her leave, his brows furrowed tightly.
…
After the al, while Aunt Xu was busy cleaning up the kitchen and Little Luoluo was playing in the toy room, Chu Xiuhuang picked up his phone and dialed Qian Yulin’s mobile number.
The phone rang a few tis before it was picked up.
“Xiuhuang?” As it was the first ti Chu Xiuhuang had ever called her, Qian Yulin was sowhat excited and at a loss, “Do you need for sothing?”
Chu Xiuhuang didn’t beat around the bush, “I want to ask, what did Shi Qingge co over and tell Huanhuan just now?”
Qian Yulin imdiately denied, “Nothing at all.”
“Nothing? Heh.” Chu Xiuhuang chuckled coldly, “Before you two ca, our family of three didn’t know how harmonious it was, and after you ca, she has been out of sorts. Do you think I’m blind? That I can’t see it?”
“Xiuhuang, about this matter, I really… didn’t know.”
“If you aren’t willing to speak,” Chu Xiuhuang said directly, “give Shi Qingge’s mobile number, I’ll ask her myself.”
“This…”
Suddenly, Shi Qingge’s voice ca from the phone, “Mom, who are you talking to?”
The phone was muffled, silencing the sound.
Chu Xiuhuang wasn’t in a hurry, he waited patiently.
Before long, the voice on the other end of the phone turned into Shi Qingge’s voice, “Xiuhuang.”
Her voice was sultry, with a clear softness and appeasent, “I am Qingge, mom said you were looking for ?”
“Yes,” Chu Xiuhuang asked her, “What did you just say to Huanhuan?”
“Nothing much,” Shi Qingge chuckled lightly, “I just didn’t expect that, after being abroad for five years, my little sister actually married you. It really surprised …”
“There’s a lot more that might surprise you,” Chu Xiuhuang warned her, “You’d better be honest with , or else it’ll be worse when I find out…”
“Didn’t Huanhuan tell you?” Shi Qingge, fearless, interrupted with a smile, “Well, Axui, since she doesn’t want to talk about it, I guess it’s not convenient for to say anything either. Otherwise, it might seem like I’m trying to sabotage your marriage.”
“Not telling, huh?” Chu Xiuhuang slightly curved his lips, but his eyes were full of a dangerous signal.
“Axui…”
“You’re not planning to go back this ti, are you?”
Chu Xiuhuang suddenly changed the topic, and Shi Qingge’s tone beca even sweeter, “Yes, I’ve already received my diploma. I plan to develop my career in Nancheng from now on. I’ll be going for interviews over the next few days. I should land a job pretty soon.”
“I see.”
“Axui.” Shi Qingge called his na, tender and enthralling, “I’m eting a few old friends tomorrow. Would you like to join us?”
**
At the Shi Family ho.
In the bedroom, Shi Qingge put down her phone, her face filled with a smug smile.
Chu Xiuhuang…
He really was more charming than he had been five years ago.
In fact, five years prior, she had barely taken any notice of him.
She had always been beautiful, and the Shi Family was a sowhat known aristocratic family in Nancheng, so she was the pampered princess from a young age, the school belle from elentary through high school, with countless admirers.
She t Chu Xiuhuang due to a gathering outside of school, which he attended with a few of his rowdy friends.
All those people were either the wealthy second-generation or the offspring of governnt officials from Nancheng. Chu Xiuhuang was similar to the others, uneducated, smoking, drinking, and womanizing.
Back then, Shi Qingge truly disliked such n; she thought they lacked substance. If not for their birth into privilege, beyond that attractive facade, and the renowned families they ca from, they were nothing!
The saying, “All that glitters is not gold,” could have been about these very noblen with no real worth, right?
So back then, although Chu Xiuhuang fell in love with her at first sight, she only found him annoying.
Beyond driving luxury cars and sending her flowers and gifts, all his moves were quite cliché, lacking any attraction or novelty.
She didn’t like that.
At that ti, she liked the president of the student council at her school, who, although of modest background, was indifferent to fa and fortune and was also smart and studious, exceptionally outstanding.
However, now, Shi Qingge realized just how foolish and naïve she had been!
Especially after spending these five years abroad, she had co to realize how utterly wrong her previous thoughts were! Completely utterly wrong!
Love without a financial basis was utter nonsense!
As for now…
A fierce glint gradually erged from Shi Qingge’s eyes.
Huanhuan, it’s ti for you to give Axui back to …
**
At 9 PM.
Huanhuan was wrapping Little Luoluo in a big towel after her bath, just about to pick her up…
“Let do it.”
A man’s deep, sexy voice sounded from behind.
Huanhuan let go and stepped aside.
Little Luoluo’s wet black hair hung down to her shoulders, and her face was flushed from the bath, ensconced in the fuzzy big towel, utterly adorable.
Chu Xiuhuang tenderly picked up his daughter in his big hands.
Leaving the bathroom, he headed straight for the little princess’s room.
But then…
“No, no, no!” Little Luoluo saw sothing amiss in the room at a glance and stretched out her hand in protest.
Chu Xiuhuang hurriedly tucked her little hands back into the big towel, “Be good, Luoluo, how about sleeping by yourself tonight?”
“No, no, no!” Little Luoluo opened her mouth wide, yelling desperately, “Huanhuan, Huanhuan, I want Huanhuan…mmph!”
Her mouth was covered by a man’s large hand.
Little Luoluo blinked her large eyes, listening to Chu Xiuhuang lower his voice and say, “Be good, tonight Daddy wants to be intimate with Mommy, and we’ll try to have a little brother for you, okay? Be good and don’t fuss.”
Seeing that the little girl remained silent, Chu Xiuhuang reassuredly let go of her, but then…
“I don’t want a little brother!”
Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback.
No little brother?
“What do you want then?”
Was it a little sister, perhaps?
Little Luoluo seed to ponder seriously, then her eyes lit up as she shouted, “I want Fu Ziyang!”
Chu Xiuhuang’s mouth twitched viciously a couple of tis.
Fu Ziyang?
That darn kid again!
How can he be so good at sweet-talking at only five years old?
He admitted the kid was good-looking, but he’s only five now. What if he grows up and turns ugly?
“Luoluo,” Chu Xiuhuang seriously advised his daughter, “you’re only five years old. You must be cautious in choosing a boyfriend, listen to Daddy, and let’s not pick Fu Ziyang for now. Let’s wait until you’re grown up. Also, girls should be more reserved, you know?”
Little Luoluo: “…”
Completely baffled.
What’s ‘reserved’?
Couldn’t understand at all.
“Alright, Daddy will help you finish drying your hair and then you should sleep on your own, okay?” Chu Xiuhuang said as he walked over to get the hair dryer, preparing to dry his precious daughter’s long, flowing hair.
Little did he know, Little Luoluo twisted her small body, “Huanhuan! I want Huanhuan! Huanhuan…”
Chu Xiuhuang was helpless.
Shi Huan had already rushed over after her shower.
The little girl, seeing her, beca instantly obedient, allowing Shi Huan to gently dry her hair with gentle movents.
Chu Xiuhuang could only watch from the side, and as soon as the hair was dry, he imdiately said, “Alright, alright, it’s ti to sleep.”
Shi Huan: “…”
She suddenly rembered the words she had told him at noon today.
“Huanhuan!” Little Luoluo patted the mattress next to her, “Sleepy! Let’s sleep together!”
Just as Chu Xiuhuang was about to speak…
“Okay.” Shi Huan imdiately got onto the bed and lay down.
Little Luoluo stretched out her small hands, satisfied, hugged her, and then glanced at Chu Xiuhuang.
Her eyes clearly saying: Humph! Huanhuan is mine!
Watching the mother and daughter, Chu Xiuhuang first furrowed his brows and then…
Understood.
After all, the little girl’s possessiveness over Shi Huan was quite strong; the more forcefully he forbade her from sleeping with Shi Huan, the more likely it would provoke greater protest or backlash.
So, he lowered his head and almost whispered into Shi Huan’s ear, “I’ll go take a bath first. You put Luoluo to sleep, and once she’s asleep, co find , okay?”
The implication was clear.
Shi Huan, head down, didn’t say a word.
But her ears had already turned red.
Chu Xiuhuang could tell she understood his intentions.
Very good.
He could barely conceal his pleasure.
He desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth from smiling aloud…
**
Back in the master bedroom.
Chu Xiuhuang first went to the bathroom and took a “combat shower.”
Thoroughly cleaned himself from top to bottom, and even applied so fragrant lotion, cough cough…
Then, he put on nothing but a towel wrapped around him and lay on the large bed.
This bed used to sleep the three of them together, with Little Luoluo in the middle, him and Shi Huan on either side, but tonight… he could finally live a married life with Huanhuan.
To tell you the truth…
In the three months since they got their marriage certificate, there had been tis when Chu Xiuhuang had almost lost control, but each ti, he had forcefully restrained himself.
He always felt that since Shi Huan didn’t rember anything now, if he were to sleep with her… it would seem like he was taking advantage of her.
But today, Shi Huan was the one who first suggested they have sex, and naturally, Chu Xiuhuang would not refuse.
He looked at the ti.
9:30.
Well, it’s still early…
Chu Xiuhuang was a patient man.
Good als are to be savored slowly.
Spring nights should be passed slowly.
Thinking about the upcoming passionate mont…
Chu Xiuhuang hurriedly got up and pulled open a drawer.
Damn.
Damn, because there was never anything with Huanhuan, the house was completely unprepared with condoms.
Although Chu Xiuhuang felt that letting Shi Huan have another child was also feasible, after all, Grandpa Chu kept hinting and asking if there was any news in that regard…
But he also felt that having children was a matter that should respect Shi Huan’s opinion.
After all, Shi Huan was only twenty-four years old this year, she was very young, and they already had a Little Luoluo.
Although he himself was quite keen on having another child, experiencing all the processes with Shi Huan from pregnancy to the end…
No, no.
Chu Xiuhuang stood up.
Whether or not to have a child was another matter, but it was still necessary to be prepared with condoms. Not using them is one thing, not preparing is another but.
He quickly stood up, dressed, and walked out of the bedroom.
As he passed the children’s room, Shi Huan was reading a children’s storybook to Little Luoluo.
“Many, many years had passed, and one day, a prince ca, and it just happened to be a hundred years later, so when the prince arrived at the thicket, he saw all the beautiful flowers, and he easily reached the palace. He found Princess Rose, the princess was very beautiful, and the prince couldn’t help but kiss the princess…”
“Huanhuan, what’s a kiss?”
Chu Xiuhuang’s mouth twitched as he listened.
What kind of children’s story is this?
Can a five-year-old child listen to this kind of story?
Shi Huan laughed and said, “Just like how I kiss Luoluo.”
She bent down and kissed Little Luoluo on the face.
Little Luoluo imdiately curled up her lips and giggled.
“Ahem.” Chu Xiuhuang hastily spoke up.
Shi Huan turned her head.
Hearing the sound, Little Luoluo also imdiately looked over.
“Well, I’m going to the door to buy sothing, I’ll be right back,” Chu Xiuhuang said, winking at Shi Huan.
Shi Huan: “…”
After Chu Xiuhuang left, Little Luoluo imdiately asked, “Huanhuan, what is Uncle going to do?”
Shi Huan frowned, “Luoluo, he is not Uncle, he is Dad.”
Little Luoluo pursed her lips and said no more.
Shi Huan touched the smooth, silky black hair of the little girl and slowly taught her, “Don’t call him Uncle in the future, Dad will be unhappy if he hears it, understand?”
Little Luoluo lowered her long lashes, and her lips slowly puckered up.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to listen to what Huanhuan says?”
Little Luoluo imdiately shook her head.
Shi Huan asked, “Then why don’t you want to call him Dad?”
Little Luoluo hesitated and looked at her, “Because he doesn’t look like a dad…”
“Doesn’t look like a dad? What do you an?” Shi Huan didn’t understand.
A dad… is there a certain way they should look?
Little Luoluo explained, “Zhou Boyang’s dad is chubby, Wang Lixiong’s dad is short, and Liu Tingting’s dad wears glasses.”
Shi Huan: “…”
So?
“He doesn’t look like a dad!” Little Luoluo made her conclusion.
Shi Huan was still sowhat confused, “Why does a dad need to look like soone else’s dad?”
Little Luoluo suddenly got up, ran to the foot of the bed with her short legs, and reached out for her backpack.
Shi Huan hurriedly got up to help.
But the little girl pulled out a small phone from her backpack, “Uncle looks like this!”
Shi Huan took a look.
The photo showed several young boys in a group photo, each in a different pose, with a na written next to them, “Newboys”.
“This is?”
“This is Liu Tingting’s favorite little brother!” Little Luoluo said, pointing at one in black clothes, “Uncle looks like this little brother!”
Shi Huan: “…”
She took a closer look.
Uh.
This idol group was all teenage heartthrobs, and Chu Xiuhuang was already thirty years old this year; if anything, it was just that the eyes looked a bit similar.
So…
Shi Huan understood, “You think Dad looks like a star?”
Speechless.
If Chu Xiuhuang knew that Little Luoluo refused to call him “Dad” because she thought he didn’t look like the ordinary dads other kids had, would he be shocked?
“Luoluo,” Shi Huan felt it was necessary to explain to her, “Every dad is different. You should be happy that your dad is so handso!”
“But,” Little Luoluo tilted her head, “Liu Tingting’s dad isn’t like that…”
“Do you and Liu Tingting look alike then?”
Little Luoluo imdiately shook her head, “Liu Tingting is chubby, just like her dad, and they both wear glasses.”
“So, you look like your dad, and she looks like her dad. That’s why your dad, her dad, and all the other kids’ dads are different, got it?”
Little Luoluo looked at her, seemingly understanding yet not quite getting it.
Is that so?
**
anwhile, Chu Xiuhuang quickly ran to the convenience store at the entrance of the neighborhood and bought a few family planning products.
On his way back, he tiptoed back to the master bedroom.
After opening the box and pulling out seven items, he stuffed them under the pillow and then lay down on the bed, waiting contentedly.
He was quite excited.
It was no exaggeration.
He felt like a teenager with his first crush, even starting to feel nervous about what was about to happen.
Then he rembered that all the running back and forth had made him sweat a bit.
So, he imdiately got up and took a quick shower.
**
When he woke up again, it was already daylight.
Chu Xiuhuang was startled.
He looked at the ti—it was already past six in the morning.
Damn!
The voices of Shi Huan and Little Luoluo ca from next door.
He hurriedly got dressed and rushed over, “Wifey! Wifey!”
Shi Huan was doing Little Luoluo’s hair in braids and turned around at his call, “What’s up?”
Chu Xiuhuang coughed a couple of tis.
Looking into the clear, large eyes of the little girl made it hard for him to say what he wanted to say.
Finally, after the braids were done and she changed into a little dress, Shi Huan said, “Let’s go brush our teeth.”
Chu Xiuhuang imdiately stepped forward.
…
After helping the little girl get ready, Chu Xiuhuang pulled Shi Huan aside and then shut the door.
In the quiet, enclosed bathroom, he asked in a low voice, “Where did you sleep last night?”
Shi Huan’s eyes darted away, “I slept here with Luoluo.”
“Why didn’t you wake up?” Chu Xiuhuang imdiately accused.
“I saw you were asleep and thought maybe you were just too tired, so I…”
“Too tired my ass!” Chu Xiuhuang burst out, “I was just… just didn’t notice I fell asleep. It’s all because these days Little Luoluo has been sleeping with us, and my biological clock has adjusted to hers.”
Kids always sleep early and rise early, and since they often slept together as a family of three, Little Luoluo usually fell asleep around nine, and while they were all in one bed, it was natural that not much noise was made.
Over ti, he had developed the good habit of sleeping at ten in the evening…
But who knew that he’d drop off to sleep all alone last night?!
Chu Xiuhuang was furious, “Last night I had the condoms ready, just waiting for you, and you didn’t even call ?”
“…” Shi Huan was embarrassed.
Chu Xiuhuang was extrely irritated, but soon, he lowered his voice, “Never mind, since it didn’t happen last night, we’ll continue tonight!”
Shi Huan: “……”

After breakfast, Shi Huan suddenly said, “I’ve planned to et Wanwan today. Do you want to co along?”
“Little sister-in-law?” Chu Xiuhuang frowned, “What does she want with you?”
“Nothing much, she’s about to start working at Gu’s soon, so she might not have much free ti to gather, so she wanted to have lunch together today.” Shi Huan looked at him, “I’m taking Luoluo with . Wanwan said President Huo wouldn’t be coming, so maybe you should…”
“Wife, are you trying to get rid of ?” Chu Xiuhuang imdiately scowled.
“No, I just thought you might be bored.” Shi Huan suggested, “Isn’t the office quite busy today? Maybe… you should go to the office. After lunch, I’ll bring Luoluo over to see you?”
Chu Xiuhuang initially didn’t want to agree.
Could work be more important than his wife and child?
But suddenly, it seed like he thought of sothing and he agreed, nodding happily, “All right then.”
…
At 10 a.m., Shi Huan set out with Little Luoluo.
Su Wanwan quickly made a call, “Huanhuan, I’ll bring Ziyang along too, where shall we eat at noon?”
“You decide.” Shi Huan finished, “By the way, don’t rush out just yet, I need to visit the hospital first.”
“Are you feeling unwell?” Su Wanwan asked imdiately.
“It’s just so things I want to consult about.”
“Alright, call when you’re done.”
“Okay.”

After hanging up, Shi Huan drove towards Nangong Hospital.
Although there were still a few days left until her follow-up appointnt, after yesterday’s incident, she had beco sowhat anxious and had called the doctor last night to adjust the timing.
Fortunately, Doctor Chen was also an acquaintance. Since her injury, all her follow-ups had been overseen by him, and he had readily agreed.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she first had the nurse take Little Luoluo to the neighboring children’s playground while she went to have the examination done alone.
10 minutes later.
Doctor Chen stood behind the projector, looking at the brain CT scan in front of him.
“Doctor Chen, how can I regain that mory?”
“Mrs. Chu, we’ve discussed this before with Mr. Chu. A blood clot in your brain pressed on your nerves, causing the loss of so mories. However, the human brain is very complex, so our experts have discussed this and consulted Mr. Chu’s opinion, and we do not recomnd surgery.”
“But… I really want to know about the mory I lost.” Shi Huan asked, “Is there another way besides surgery?”
Doctor Chen asked her, “Why do you want to retrieve that mory? As far as I know, that mory doesn’t seem very pleasant for you.”
“Yes.” Shi Huan admitted, “But I feel particularly uneasy not rembering it…”
“I can understand your feelings, after all, it is part of your past, but…” the doctor frowned deeply, “Well, if you really want to recover it, there is one way.”
“What way?”
“Hypnosis.”
Shi Huan: “…”
“Hypnosis is considered a treatnt thod, but unlike surgery, hypnosis takes you back to the scene of the mory. If it’s really a painful mory, you might re-experience the pain. If it’s severe, it can cause brain pain and might even aggravate your nerves,” Doctor Chen said earnestly, “If you insist, I suggest you discuss it with Mr. Chu before making a decision.”
“I see.” Shi Huan lowered her head, seemingly pondering, “Actually, my husband listens to everything I say, Doctor Chen, please arrange a session with a hypnotherapist for .”
“Are you in such a hurry?” Doctor Chen looked at her, his eyes full of inquiry.
Shi Huan nodded.
“Alright then.” Doctor Chen agreed, “I will arrange an appointnt with the most authoritative hypnotherapist in our hospital, but I will have to schedule a separate ti. I’ll contact you once it’s set.”
“Okay, thank you, Doctor Chen.” Shi Huan stood up.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped, “By the way, could you please keep this matter confidential for now?”
“You an?”
“Don’t tell Mr. Chu yet.”
“… Oh.” Doctor Chen’s expression was subtle, “I understand.”

After leaving the office, Shi Huan went to the neighboring children’s playground.
Little Luoluo was building sand dunes with two other children and imdiately ran over when she saw Shi Huan.
“Huanhuan? What did the doctor say?”
Her childishly concerned query made Shi Huan almost chuckle, “I’m fine, everything’s good.”
Little Luoluo held her hand, nodding like an adult.
Once they reached the corridor outside, near the elevator, a familiar voice suddenly called out.
“Sister-in-law?”
Shi Huan was startled, “Aci, what a coincidence.”
“Yes, I was just strolling around, and voila, what a coincidence.” Nangong Ci said, looking back, “Wait a minute? You and Luoluo ca to the hospital, and my brother didn’t co with you?”
Strange!
Ever since Shi Huan was injured, Chu Xiuhuang had beco exceedingly attentive.
Not just attentive, he was more like a “24/7 devoted husband”!
Essentially, wherever Shi Huan went, he had to follow, let alone to the hospital. How could he possibly let Shi Huan co alone with their child?
Unusual!
There must be a demon when things are abnormal!
“Oh, it wasn’t planned. We just passed by and decided to check in. Besides, we are eting Wanwan for lunch later, so I didn’t ask him to co along.”
This explanation was plausible.
But Nangong Ci still frowned, “So, sister-in-law, did you co to the hospital for a check-up?”
