Chapter 227: Who gave you that to eat?

~7 min read 1,380 words

Nana looked at Meng Ze, and after a while, she actually walked up to him, cupped his face, and stroked it, seemingly very sympathetic to his plight.

"These past few years, you must have had a very hard time, right?" Nana asked.

Meng Ze smiled faintly, then grabbed her hand: "But I met you, and I hope Heaven will open its eyes and save the best for me."

Nana smiled again: "As long as you are sincere, then the best will surely be saved for you."

……

After three months of pregnancy, Bai Shuruo's morning sickness finally disappeared.

Her appetite suddenly improved, her previous feelings of loss were gone, and she became someone who could eat and sleep well again.

That day, Han Yangting said he wanted to take her to a gathering, which was actually just having a meal with Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei, followed by a game of billiards.

Seeing Bai Shuruo again, Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei were as enthusiastic as ever.

Ling Feng sighed: "Ruoruo, look at how you and Yangting have gone in circles, only to end up together after all. Why can't I meet someone who is devoted to me?"

Bai Shuruo laughed: "We are just living life together; you wouldn't be used to this kind of life."

Han Yangting, standing to the side, had his arms crossed over his chest, his expression serious.

Of course, Bai Shuruo did not notice him.

Ling Feng said bitterly: "I thought I could become brothers-in-law with Yangting, who knew... haha."

"My sister, she..."

"Your sister never liked me from start to finish," Ling Feng said.

Bai Shuruo then said: "That might be because my sister was focused on her work; she has always been a career-oriented woman."

"Ruoruo, you are truly kind; it's rare that you would still comfort me," Ling Feng laughed: "But I've figured it out now; a person really shouldn't hang themselves from a single tree; that's too painful."

"Did you meet a new hot girl again?" Bai Shuruo asked.

Ling Feng said: "Not really, let's not talk about this, so as not to have a bad influence on the baby in your belly."

"That's true, prenatal education can also affect a person's personality," Bai Shuruo laughed.

Among these three, Ni Xianglei was still the relatively quiet one.

Ni Xianglei returned to Beishi last year; because of his excellent performance in the new energy sector, he had now proven himself within the family, so he had entered an important position in the family business, competing against several older brothers.

It is said that the family is also urging him to marry, but he has never found anyone suitable; he has been on blind dates with many young ladies of noble families, but none were satisfactory.

The group had a meal and played some billiards.

Everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.

The three men joked around and teased each other, while Bai Shuruo was their little sidekick; because of her relationship with Han Yangting, everyone pampered her and let her have her way.

……

Hearing that Bai Shuruo was pregnant, Bai Shunan strongly demanded that she return to Fengcheng for a visit.

It was currently summer vacation, and Bai Shuruo also wanted to go back to relax; plus, having passed the dangerous first three months, Han Yangting felt at ease letting her return.

However, she traveled by private jet, and a dedicated car was sent to the airport to pick her up.

Upon receiving Bai Shuruo and Xiaofeng, Bai Shunan couldn't help but exclaim: "Ruoruo, your complexion is truly wonderful, completely different from the last time I saw you; it shows that Brother Han treats you very well."

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but smile: "Sigh, we're just living our lives, it's all the same."

"What's wrong? Are you not happy living at the Manor? Or is Brother Han not treating you well?" Bai Shunan asked sensitively.

Xiaofeng heard this and couldn't help but say: "Great Aunt, my father treats my mother so well; Grandma says... he's afraid she'll melt if he puts her in his mouth, and afraid she'll break if he holds her in his hand."

Bai Shunan burst into laughter and hugged Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng is getting cuter and cuter, and you still remember your Great Aunt; it wasn't in vain that Great Aunt loves you so much."

Xiaofeng said: "Then the person I like most is Great Aunt; the fried chicken Great Aunt treats me to is the most delicious."

"If you like it, Great Aunt will treat you again, okay?"

"Okay."

……

Bai Shuruo and Xiaofeng decided to stay at Bai Shunan's house; for one, it was lively, and for another, it was convenient for taking care of things.

However, when she arrived at Bai Shunan's house, Han Yangting sent her a WeChat message: The house at Sunshine Garden still has the original password; if you want to go back, go take a look.

Bai Shuruo replied: Okay.

As for whether or not to go back, it would depend on the timing; perhaps she really would take Xiaofeng back to see it.

After arriving at Bai Shunan's house, Lin Wanfen and Bai Shuhua also came over.

Lin Wanfen kept saying that it was better to go back and be with Han Yangting, as the person had been nourished until she was radiant, looking just like a college student.

Lin Wanfen must have completely stopped caring about what Han Yangting had done in the past; her whole person appeared glowing with health.

Bai Shuruo always felt that something was going on with Lin Wanfen.

The family had a lively meal together.

While eating, Lin Wanfen announced: "I... I want to tell everyone something."

Everyone looked at her.

Lin Wanfen then said: "I have... found a stepfather for Shuhua."

Everyone was shocked.

Bai Shuruo felt that Lin Wanfen was the most devoted; she always said that after Father passed away, she would never meet anyone as excellent again.

However, Bai Shuhua seemed to know about this, and he said: "Mom, just say it directly; it's just finding a companion, it's not something shameful."

Lin Wanfen was shy, like a young girl: "He is the dance partner I usually dance with; he divorced ten years ago, his ex-wife has already remarried, and the child is with the ex-wife. We get along quite well. I think, when I meet your father in the afterlife, he will certainly be with your mother; I can't be all alone when I go down there. Plus, Shuhua is grown up; once he goes to college and starts a family, I'll still be alone. It just so happens that this person treats me quite well, we get along quite well, so we decided to just live life together."

The group was stunned for a moment, and Bai Shunan spoke first: "Well, that's a good thing, Aunt Fen; you really should find someone. Bring him over next time so we can meet him, or we can go over there too."

"Alright, Lao Zhang's cooking is quite good; next time I'll let him cook for you."

Bai Shuruo also said: "Aunt Fen, congratulations; no wonder I kept feeling you looked prettier just now, so it turns out you're in love."

The group began eating and drinking together again.

……

On the second night of staying at Bai Shunan's house, Bai Shuruo went to the balcony to hang up a towel, and as a result, she saw Bai Shunan in the residential complex garden.

There was another person beside her; looking closely, wasn't that person Gu Yunting?

Bai Shuruo froze for a moment.

No wonder Ling Feng said that her sister's heart could not be warmed; it turned out that her sister's heart had never left Gu Yunting.

Bai Shunan came up before long, and when she entered, she was carrying a food box: "Ruoruo, Xiaofeng, come out and have a late-night snack; this is a specialty late-night snack from Fengcheng."

"Sister, did you just go out to have a late-night snack?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"No, someone gave it to me, so I had no choice but to bring it back."

Bai Shuruo then asked: "Oh? Who gave it to you? Sister, you shouldn't just eat things given by others."
