Chapter 553: I am yours alone

Since people from Xu Mengda's company had arrived, there was no real point in me staying at the hospital any longer.

I found someone who looked like a leader from his company, gave him a few instructions, and specifically urged him to notify me the moment his boss woke up.

The leader nodded in fear and trepidation; the few vials of blood I had just given had clearly conveyed one message: I was now someone who shared the same blood as his boss.

After leaving the hospital, the night had already crept in, and the world was a blur of chaos.

On the west side of Hengyue City, there was a large chemical plant. Every dusk, the several tall chimneys in the factory would begin to spew black and white smoke, shrouding the entire city in smog. Sometimes, the smoke carried a thick, pungent odor that made one want to vomit.

If there had been a long drought and a sudden heavy rain fell, the rainwater landing on the leaves would cause them to curl up, even though they had been unfurled. If you licked them with your tongue, you could taste a sour flavor.

The air in Hengyue City was getting worse and worse; the blue sky and white clouds I saw every day as a child felt like a thing of a past life.

Urbanization had expanded the city infinitely. Because the initial planning hadn't been careful, industrial zones ended up interspersed with residential areas. Industrialization wasn't scary; what was scary was that the industry was primarily chemical-based. In this way, even if the city were equipped with a massive blower, there would be no way to blow the smoke and dust elsewhere.

Because I had drawn out several hundred cc of blood, despite my good health, I couldn't resist the waves of fatigue washing over me.

By the time the car reached Huang Weiwei's parents' home, I barely had the strength to get out.

I knocked on the door listlessly. As it opened, the old nanny looked at me with a kind smile and welcomed me inside.

Huang Weiwei, sporting a large belly, turned her head and saw it was me. She flew over like a clumsy butterfly, threw herself into my arms, hooked her arms around my neck without a care, and laughed happily.

We hadn't seen each other for nearly three months, which was undoubtedly a bit cruel for us as newlyweds.

I hugged her waist, but after a few tries, I couldn't fully wrap my arms around her. I lowered my head in surprise, only to discover that her body had changed to a degree that I couldn't believe my eyes.

Just as we were being intimate and lost in the moment, I heard a soft cough in my ears. Looking up, I saw Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi—oh, my mother-in-law—sitting upright on the sofa, watching us with a smile in her eyes.

I shamefully let go, helped Huang Weiwei to the sofa to sit down, and opened my mouth to call out, "Mom."

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi gave a hum and asked me, "Was the journey tiring?"

I shook my head, rested my hands on my knees, and reported earnestly, "It was fine, nothing happened."

Suddenly, my head spun, and my vision blurred. I quickly closed my eyes to steady my spirit.

This action of mine gave Huang Weiwei a start. She shook my arm and asked nervously, "Husband, what's wrong?"

I opened my eyes, gave a faint smile, and said, "It's nothing. I just drew a little blood to save someone earlier."

"Save someone? Save who?" Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi asked me.

I then recounted the story of Xu Mengda's car accident, specifically mentioning that this person had helped me in the past.

"A friend?" Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi asked.

I nodded and said, "A bit better than a friend."

"So you donated blood for him?"

I heard the dissatisfaction in her words and had to explain, "The hospital was short on blood at the time. If he hadn't received a transfusion immediately, his life would have been in danger."

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi nodded slightly; I couldn't tell if she was approving or disapproving. There was no expression on her face, a scene I rarely saw at her home.

In the past, whenever I went to her house, Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi was always all smiles. Even if I sometimes said the wrong thing, she would always smile magnanimously.

My act of drawing blood to save someone was morally incomparable and noble. But in Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi's eyes, my actions seemed somewhat childish.

Sure enough, she raised her voice and asked me in a tone that was practically stern: "Little Chen, when you drew that blood, did you think about your wife and child?"

I hesitated, nodded, and said, "Mom, I did think about them."

"You thought about them and still drew it? Why didn't you think about what would happen if there was an accident?"

"There wouldn't be an accident. The First Affiliated Hospital is a large hospital, and every procedure is done well; there are no accidents." I smiled and said, "Mom, look at me, aren't I perfectly fine?"

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi snorted through her nose, stood up, and said, "There will come a time when you regret it."

She went straight upstairs, leaving only me, Huang Weiwei, and the old nanny busy in the kitchen in the living room.

Seeing her mother leave, Huang Weiwei leaned into my ear, blew a breath, and asked, "Husband, did you miss me?"

I stared at her large belly, smiled wickedly, and said, "I did, very much. But as soon as I think of my wife's big belly, I don't want to anymore."

"Why?" she asked curiously.

"Because..." I deliberately hesitated, refusing to say it.

"Hurry up and say it, or I'll bite you." She made a gesture to bite my arm.

I simply shoved my arm toward her mouth and whispered, "Wife, because that place belongs to my son now, I can't go there."

Huang Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood. Her face turned red to the roots of her hair in an instant. She opened her mouth, bit down on my arm, left a row of tooth marks, then let go and whispered, "You rogue!"

I also whispered, "If I weren't a rogue, my wife would be someone else's wife."

"Stop talking nonsense!" She shyly buried her head in my chest and bit my chest, making me shiver with pain.

She giggled, let go, and whispered, "Husband, I feel so swollen here."

She gestured to her chest, and only then did I notice that her chest was significantly larger than before, and it appeared even fuller and firmer.

My heart skipped a beat, and I reached out, wanting to touch her chest.

She was startled, swatted my hand away, and giggled, "Husband, you really are bold. Look at where we are; if my mom saw this, it would be a miracle if she didn't tear you apart."

I smiled and said, "Mom wouldn't have the heart. If she tore me apart, her daughter would become a widow."

Huang Weiwei slapped me and said, "In your dreams!"

She grabbed my hand, rubbed it carefully, and after a while, interrogated me: "Did you cheat?"

I pretended to be stunned, stared at her, and asked, "Cheat on what?"

She held my fingers and continued to press: "Confess honestly, don't play dumb with me."

I put on a righteous look and said as if facing death, "Wife, do I look like that kind of person?"

"You look exactly like one."

"Wife, you're wronging me!" I deliberately raised my voice.

She quickly reached out to cover my mouth and scolded, "If you yell again, I'll make you even more uncomfortable."

Just then, Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi came downstairs, holding something, and called the old nanny over.

"This is donkey-hide gelatin; boil it for Little Chen to drink." She instructed the old nanny.

I was still hesitating, but Huang Weiwei cried out, "Mom, you're so biased!"

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi asked in astonishment, "What's wrong with me?"

Huang Weiwei pouted and said, "Mom, this donkey-hide gelatin is my dad's treasure. You wouldn't even let me eat it when I was anemic, but Chen Feng just drew a little blood, and you take it out for him to eat. If you aren't biased, who is?"

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi smiled and said, "He is your husband, which means he is your heaven. If a woman has no heaven, can she still have earth? Remember, a woman can have nothing else, but she must have a good husband. Your man is someone who cannot be replaced!"

I was so moved that I almost shed tears.

As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law and loves him more the more she looks. It was only at this moment that I truly grasped the essence of this phrase.

I thought to myself, with such a good mother-in-law and such a beautiful, gentle wife, could I still justify having wandering thoughts?

After the donkey-hide gelatin was boiled and brought over, I looked at the black, gooey bowl and had no appetite at all.

Huang Weiwei didn't stand on ceremony with me this time; she forced me to eat it all, and even the residue on the edge of the bowl, she actually forced me to lick clean with my tongue.

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi watched from the side, smiling without a word. In her eyes, these actions of ours were undoubtedly a display of affection.

After drinking the gelatin, my stomach felt warm and comfortable, and my whole body seemed to be filled with strength.

Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi said, "Little Chen, go rest for a while. When your dad comes back, you two can chat, and you can report some of the things from the Party School to your dad."

I agreed obediently, and Huang Weiwei wanted to go upstairs with me. Bureau Chief Chen Yazhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Once we reached her boudoir, it became our private territory.

I picked her up horizontally without a care, placed her carefully on the bed, and stared into her bright eyes; a trace of longing rose from the bottom of my heart.

Huang Weiwei seemed to sense my ill intentions; she shifted her body nervously and whispered, "No, husband, no."

I smiled wickedly, lifted her clothes, and pressed both hands firmly onto her chest.

She shuddered, then opened her arms, hooked them around my neck, and murmured, "Husband, wait a little longer. In a few months, I will be yours alone."

For a man as vigorous as me, not having a taste of meat for several months was a very painful thing.

Huang Weiwei blushed and groped for me, saying, "Husband, I'll help you."

She didn't dare look at me, her beautiful, jade-like face shy and charming, her lips parted, waiting for me to comfort her.

Once a man releases, he becomes as limp as a dead dog.

I was sleeping soundly when Huang Weiwei pushed me and whispered, "Husband, husband, my dad is back."

My whole body jolted, and I woke up from my dream.

Minister Huang Shan had an incomparably tall image in my heart. His majesty and coldness had always been the example I secretly studied.

Hearing that he was home, even in the gentlest of places, I could no longer linger.

I sat up from the bed in one motion, took Huang Weiwei's hand, and said, "Let's go see Dad!" ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
