Chapter 542: , accidents are all marked by Heaven (Seeking monthly votes!)

"Tapping the bottom of the bowl is useless; I am already Mr. Li's woman."

Hearing her daughter say this, Wei Shiman suddenly raised her head, staring fixedly at the two of them like a jackal or a wild beast.

Xiao Han felt a bit weak, but a moment later, she acted as if nothing had happened and drank the cross-cupped wine with Li Heng.

It was truly cross-cupped wine.

Li Heng had originally been somewhat hesitant, fearing he would further anger this future mother-in-law. But he couldn't resist the pair of expressive eyes of his black-bellied wife; in the end, he completed it half-compulsorily.

Wei Shiman was annoyed and tapped the bottom of the bowl with her chopsticks again.

The sound was much louder than before; the bottom of the bowl containing the small fish and shrimp was almost pierced through, nearly split in two.

Seeing this, Xiao Han asked Li Heng with a look of extreme worry: "Hubby, did you bring enough money today?"

Li Heng didn't understand and thought it was for the meal: "Enough."

Hearing this, Xiao Han immediately changed to a cheerful expression and tried hard to incite: "My dearest mother, tap away. Tap a few more bowls to pieces; your son-in-law has money to pay for them. If this shop doesn't have enough bowls, we'll go buy more outside."

Li Heng: "..."

Xiao Qing's stomach was almost hurting from laughter; she didn't know how many times she had held back laughter today, feeling she hadn't laughed this much in a whole year.

Wei Shiman raised her chopsticks wanting to hit her, but just as she raised them, she put them down, picked up a small fish, put it in her mouth, and chewed fiercely.

It was as if she wasn't chewing a small fish, but her younger daughter and Li Heng.

Xiao Han pursed her lips and smiled, also extending her chopsticks to help her mother pick up a few pieces of the best Kung Pao Chicken: "Mom, eat more, you'll only have the strength to get angry if you eat more."

Wei Shiman was someone with a temper; she threw all the Kung Pao Chicken her daughter had picked for her onto the table, and finally said angrily: "Go serve your husband, don't come bother me!"

"Alright, Mom."

Xiao Han cleared her throat to accept the order, turned around, and kept picking food for Li Heng, saying pitifully while picking: "Parents can't be relied upon; they can only raise me until I'm 18. Mr. Li, you must raise me until I'm old."

Under the table, Li Heng reached out and grabbed her palm to show comfort.

This meal was quite lively. To avoid any awkward silence, the two sisters kept chatting, and Li Heng would chime in from time to time.

As for Wei Shiman, she didn't join in from beginning to end; after finishing a bowl of rice, she left halfway through and returned to the hostel alone. When she left, her expression was very cold, and her aura was very strong, directly ignoring Li Heng.

Xiao Qing stood up as well and said to the two: "I'll go accompany Mom. Li Heng, later you and the little sister go to the hospital to ask for leave."

"Eh, alright." Li Heng agreed readily.

Once the mother and the eldest sister left, Xiao Han seemed like a different person, staring blankly at the food in the bowl, a crystal drop flashing at the corner of her eye.

But she blinked hard, wiped away the tears with her sleeve without a trace, and then, the moment she turned her head, the corners of her mouth immediately curved into a crescent moon, and she said crisply: "Mr. Li, let's go too."

Leaving the restaurant, the two headed straight for the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital.

When passing a deserted corner, Li Heng suddenly grabbed her hand, hugged her, and said affectionately: "Thank you today."

Xiao Han tilted her head slightly in his arms and asked aggrievedly: "How are you thanking me? There isn't even a form of address?"

Li Heng leaned in and kissed her: "Wife."

Xiao Han said: "You know how hard I worked to love you, right?"

Li Heng nodded: "I know."

Xiao Han pursed her lips into dimples, grabbed his hands with both of hers, and said sweetly: "Then this beauty's remaining life is handed over to you. You must treat me better, don't let Comrade Wei Shiman make a joke of us."

Li Heng promised solemnly: "Okay!"

Hearing this "okay," Xiao Han's eyes half-closed, her long eyelashes translucent and crystal clear under the sunlight, very happy.

"The weather is nice today, I'll allow Mr. Li to kiss me once, remember, don't exceed 5 minutes." After a while, she looked around and then said secretly like a thief.

Li Heng found it funny, lowered his head, and without a word, covered her cherry lips.

This was the first time she had actively asked for a kiss.

In this kiss, she kissed cautiously, both shy and trying to be passionate.

Unfortunately, her nature ultimately couldn't produce those overly bold, teasing movements, and she could only linger between a lady and a femme fatale.

But even so, after one kiss, her mood of being ignored by her own mother instantly improved a bit.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a coughing sound came from behind.

Listening to the cough, it should be an elderly woman.

Frightened, the two who were kissing passionately separated in a hurry; Li Heng and Xiao Han looked at each other in confusion, and the next second, the two held hands and ran wildly.

Running for their lives!

Like a tornado, they sped toward the corner.

Watching the two flee in a panic, the woman behind smiled kindly and thought to herself: I really didn't expect that the most beautiful flower of the Medical University would have such a romantic side; that young man just now should be the famous writer Li Heng, right?

The woman was a professor at the Shanghai Medical University and also a doctor; she happened to be rushing to the hospital along this road today. As for the stunningly beautiful Xiao Han, all the teachers and students in the school basically knew her, and she was no exception.

Even without seeing Xiao Han's front, she recognized who it was at a glance from the profile.

Escaping the small path in one breath, the two holding hands were out of breath; in an open area, Li Heng and Xiao Han looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud at the same time.

Li Heng tightened his grip on her small hand and said emotionally: "Wife, it's really good to have you."

"Mm-hmm." Xiao Han feigned reserve, held her head high, and maintained the aloof demeanor of a pretentious girl.

The Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital was at No. 180 Fenglin Road, Xu Hui.

Before entering the hospital, Li Heng bought some gifts according to Professor Wen Yan's preferences and then rushed to the clinic without stopping.

Perhaps the timing was wrong; Professor Wen Yan was very busy today. Seeing Xiao Han come over, she started ordering without a word:

"Hanhan, are you free now? Your senior sister has some urgent matters at home to deal with and will take about half an hour to return; you fill in for her."

Xiao Han threw an apologetic look at Li Heng and then went to help.

Because there were too many people seeing doctors, Li Heng chatted with Professor Wen Yan for a few sentences and then left the office to stroll outside to get some air.

He was no stranger to this hospital; it was just like home, and he could even find his way with his eyes closed, as he had been here too many times in his previous life.

While strolling, he felt a bit thirsty, so he went to the grocery store at the entrance to buy soda, but just as he was about to pay, he bumped into someone head-on.

"Li Heng."

"Ya, why are you here?"

That's right, it was a bit of a coincidence; the one he bumped into was Wei Xiaozhu.

Looking at each other, the two felt awkward.

To be precise, it was Wei Xiaozhu who was a bit awkward. She had said she would get off at Jing'an, but ended up coming to Xu Hui.

Fine, coming to Xu Hui secretly is one thing, but bumping into Li Heng again was just bad luck; the probability was about the same as meeting a ghost while walking on a night road.

Seeing the other party standing there at a loss, Li Heng smiled understandingly: "Classmate Xiaozhu, please close your eyes and pretend you didn't see me; when you open your eyes again, I'll have disappeared."

Teased by his banter, Wei Xiaozhu laughed along, and the awkwardness dissipated.

She took out money and said with a domineering joke: "I'll treat you to this soda; don't mention today's matter ever again."

Li Heng blinked: "Deal, I was never a person with strong willpower anyway, very happy to accept bribes."

Walking out of the grocery store side by side, he looked her over: "Haven't seen you wear this plaid yellow in a long time, it's very pretty."

"Really?" She tilted her head and glanced at him. Li Heng hummed.

Wei Xiaozhu said: "Then you should have complimented me at the Fudan school gate; it's been half a day since then."

Li Heng argued: "Beauty doesn't have an expiration date; you're just as beautiful now. Besides, you three girls were there at the time; I couldn't compliment one and not the other, that would be bad."

Wei Xiaozhu smiled: "I'll count that as a reasonable explanation."

Walking into the hospital, she then asked: "Are you here alone, or looking for Xiao Han?"

Li Heng pointed to an office on the third floor on the right: "She's helping her mentor, and there are too many people inside, so I came out for a walk. What about them? Why are you alone?"

Wei Xiaozhu hesitated: "I don't know if I should tell you?"

Li Heng said: "Then don't tell."

Wei Xiaozhu looked up at the sky: "Actually, even if I didn't say it, with your intelligence, you should have guessed it, right?"

Li Heng asked tentatively: "Is Le Yao pregnant?"

Wei Xiaozhu looked at him and smiled: "Look, I knew you would definitely think that."

Li Heng said: "Le Yao has been frowning and not talking all day, and you guys are lying and coming to the hospital; actually, the answer isn't hard to guess."

Wei Xiaozhu scanned the surroundings and whispered: "She's having a miscarriage."

Li Heng wasn't surprised at all: "Old Li's?"

Wei Xiaozhu nodded.

Li Heng was confused: "Didn't the two break up during summer vacation? It's been two months since then, and still...?"

Wei Xiaozhu said with some regret: "Before falling in love, Le Yao was an optimistic girl with a bit of innocence, longing for feelings and quite persistent; meeting Li Guoyi was really hard to describe."

Li Heng understood: "Still entangled, but abandoned again?"

Wei Xiaozhu sighed and said: "That's exactly it."

At this point, the two fell into silence and didn't say anything more.

After a long while, Li Heng raised his left wrist to check his watch and asked: "Do you want to go up first?"

Wei Xiaozhu shook her head: "I couldn't stand waiting at the door, so I came out alone; I'll go meet up with them later."

She asked: "What about you, are you going up?"

Li Heng said: "Still have to wait another ten minutes or so; it's extremely crowded up there, not even a place to stand, tiring."

Wei Xiaozhu pointed to the right and said: "Then let's go sit on the grass for a while."

Li Heng didn't act pretentious and said okay.

Walking about 30 meters, the two sat on the grass, and she teased: "When Xiao Han comes over later, will she be jealous?"

In front of outsiders, Li Heng automatically activated his wife-protection mode: "No, she's not a person who likes to be jealous."

Wei Xiaozhu was clearly half-believing this, but later said: "However, you have several great beauties around you; if she were really jealous, she wouldn't be able to handle them all."

Then she said: "Sometimes I have an illusion."

Li Heng asked: "What illusion?"

Wei Xiaozhu phrased it: "I feel that your love for Mai Sui seems no less than for Xiao Han."

Li Heng was stunned, and it took a long time before he asked: "Is that so?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "Yes. I believe I'm not the only one who feels this way; Shihe and Dai Qing have the same feeling."

Looking at each other, Li Heng understood: "Are you worried they will fall out?"

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaozhu shook her head: "No. Mai Sui's feelings for you are deeper than the ocean. She would rather suffer in silence than make things difficult for you."

Li Heng fell silent upon hearing this; he was growing fonder of Mai Sui by the day.

Yet the more he cared for her, the guiltier he felt, because he could not give her everything she wanted.

Wei Xiaozhu opened her soda, took two sips, and asked, "Li Heng, may I ask you a question?"

Li Heng raised his eyelids: "If it's too hard to answer, please spare me."

Wei Xiaozhu laughed, thought for a moment, and said: "It is indeed difficult. Let me change the question: how will you handle that girl from today?"

Li Heng didn't react for a moment: "Girl? Which one do you mean? I interacted with many girls today."

There were indeed many, like Li Xian, Huang Ziyue, and so on.

Wei Xiaozhu said: "The one on the bus?"

"Oh, you mean her." Li Heng gave an 'oh' sound.

She asked: "Is the other party named Wu Siyao?"

Li Heng was surprised: "You know her?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "I have three high school classmates at Tongji University, and Wu Siyao is very famous there. When we took the train back to Lianyungang together last time, I heard them mention this name."

So that was it. Li Heng answered casually: "We are old friends; you certainly won't think I'm arrogant for saying some things.

To a certain extent, you and I are the same type of person. We have been relatively popular with the opposite sex since we were young, and feelings are selfish, emphasizing mutual consent. You cannot possibly take care of everyone's feelings.

By the same token, I am the same."

Wei Xiaozhu tilted her head slightly: "Even someone as beautiful as Wu Siyao gets no special treatment from you?"

Li Heng countered: "Old Hu is quite handsome too; didn't you also not take a fancy to him?"

Wei Xiaozhu was speechless: "Hu Ping is not my type."

Li Heng nodded: "My energy is limited."

Wei Xiaozhu stared at him, and after a good while, she realized: "It seems Wu Siyao just isn't beautiful enough. If it were Zhou Shihe, you certainly wouldn't say such things."

Li Heng narrowed his eyes: "You wanted to ask about Zhou Shihe earlier, didn't you?"

Wei Xiaozhu looked up at the sky, beaming: "I went through such a big circle, yet I was still seen through by you."

Li Heng waved his hand: "I don't want to answer that question."

Wei Xiaozhu swept a glance at him and said spiritedly: "But I already have the answer in my heart, what now?"

"Forget it." Li Heng checked his watch again, stood up, and left.

Watching his back disappear into the entrance of the outpatient building, Wei Xiaozhu, who was slowly composing her expression, stared down at the soda in her hand for a good while. Afterward, she picked up the soda cap from the grass, threw it along with the unfinished soda into the trash can, and left as well.

20 minutes later, Li Heng and Xiao Han left the hospital.

Xiao Han clasped her hands over her abdomen and asked sweetly: "Mr. Li, it's past 4 PM now; where do you plan to stay tonight?"

Some things are understood as soon as they are heard; his scheming wife has to accompany her mother and eldest sister for the next two days and has no time for him.

And given his current relationship with Wei Shiman, it is not appropriate to get too close for the time being, otherwise, the conflicts will only accumulate.
