Capítulo 1693: Chapter 1693: Cherish the Present
Luo Qiao took a vase from the windowsill: “What made you think of bringing flowers over?”
Ji Lin pouted: “I was going to give them to my niece to cheer her up, but the patient in the next bed said she’s allergic to pollen, so you’re the lucky one.”
Luo Qiao casually asked: “Is your big sister-in-law’s issue resolved?”
Ji Lin sighed: “My big sister-in-law said although it feels uncomfortable, for the sake of the two kids, she’s willing to just go along with it.”
Luo Qiao got up to pour Ji Lin a glass of water: “That’s how won are. There’s no mother who doesn’t think of her children.”
Ji Lin hesitated, but in the end couldn’t hold back: “Ji Wei went and investigated that woman a few days ago. Now she’s divorced, and he’s quite worried that she’ll take the initiative.”
“And now, what about your brother-in-law, what’s his attitude?”
“He insists that it was all just classmates egging him on that day, and he definitely wouldn’t ss around.”
“Oh, co on, if your big sister-in-law can have peace of mind, what are you worried about?”
“Easy for you to say. Of course, I hope for the best for my big sister-in-law, but today I went to pick up clothes for her and saw that woman coming out of her house. What do you think I’m worried about?
When I went in, my brother-in-law’s eyes kept avoiding mine. He just said she ca to see if he was healed, and that the woman claid it wasn’t for her, my sister-in-law wouldn’t have been beaten. Whether she went simply to check on him or with ulterior motives to stir things up, it’s unclear.
Besides, who knows if they’ll et privately in the future? This issue has already planted a hidden danger. If he can’t handle it properly, I think a family fight isn’t far off.”
“Maybe it’s really as your brother-in-law said. Try to think positively.”
“Oh, I also want to think positively, but the provocative look that woman gave makes it hard for to do so.”
Ji Lin vented her complaints here for quite a while before she left.
After finishing up the remaining work, it was ti to get off work.
Tidying up, she drove back to the residential compound, but for so reason, just wasn’t in the mood to cook. She stead rice with the rice cooker, braised a pot of at directly, and went to lie down in the room.
When Lu Yichen got ho, he saw that the rice was already stead, the braised at simring on low heat. He tasted a small piece, finding it flavorful, but didn’t see his wife.
Upon entering the room, he saw her asleep on the bed.
Luo Qiao opened her eyes at the sound of approaching footsteps: “Brother Chen, you’re back?”
Lu Yichen walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and felt her forehead with his hand: “What’s wrong, not feeling well?”
Luo Qiao reached out, and Lu Yichen pulled her into his arms: “Is sothing the matter?”
Luo Qiao leaned into Lu Yichen’s embrace: “I got a call from my second brother today, saying that Old Master Jing has passed. Later, I called Jing Wanpeng, and it was clear he was very sad.
I just started thinking about my grandfather, about my grandparents, my master, and his wife, as well as Elder Rong and Rong Daniang—they’re all getting on in years and will also have their day, which made feel really uncomfortable.”
Lu Yichen hugged her tighter: “Everyone will have their day, including us. I can understand why you’re upset, which is why we need to enjoy every day happily and cherish the present.”
Seeing her still in low spirits, he joked: “If no one ever died, just think how crowded Earth would be. There wouldn’t even be room to stand.”
Imagining that scene brought a smile to Luo Qiao’s face.
Seeing her smile: “Honey, I’m hungry, is the braised at on the stove ready to eat?”
Only then did Luo Qiao get up to prepare: “I’ll add so mushrooms and vegetables, and it’ll be ready soon.”
