Chapter 1523 - 1525

Zhao Xuran walked into the bedroom with a bowl of fish soup, unsurprisingly seeing Gong Ruini lying in front of the two children.

"You." Zhao Xuran always wanted to tell Gong Ruini not to lie down like that because it wasn’t good for her recovery.

But every time he said it, his wife would agree, and then continue as before.

Gong Ruini was startled by Zhao Xuran’s voice; she really hadn’t expected him to return so quickly.

Fortunately, she had already fed An An. Originally, Gong Ruini hoped to give An An a bath, but she hadn’t even done her confinement yet, so even a bath was a luxury.

In this situation, how could she help An An bathe?

But Gong Ruini didn’t want to delay. Treating things early is always good.

Without being able to bathe, Gong Ruini thought of giving An An Space Water. If bathing is effective, drinking it might be too.

Gong Ruini didn’t know how effective it was, so she only dared to give her a drop each time. Unexpectedly, An An really liked it.

After a few days, whether it was a hallucination or not, Gong Ruini felt that An An was indeed recovering well.

Frightened, Gong Ruini worried that the Space Water might be too miraculous, so she also gave Pingping a drop each time.

"An An was really good today." Even though both kids were lying together, Zhao Xuran could easily skip over Pingping.

Gong Ruini looked at poor Pingping, "Why don’t you mention our son?"

"Isn’t he fine?" Zhao Xuran wouldn’t admit he didn’t actually like his son.

They say sons are little debt collectors, and he’s inclined to agree, "Before, when he was in the womb, he’d stir whenever I tried to get close to you."

He would always announce his presence with kicks and punches, and his wife took a long time to recover from such disruptions.

He thought after the birth, although they might not have intimate contact, at least kisses would be fine, right?

Hmph, unless this boy is asleep, he’d definitely cry and fuss, and when he went to soothe him, the boy would not hesitate to kick and punch, even with his tiny fists.

Although his son was just born, and his strength was negligible, Zhao Xuran felt like saying, "What a naughty boy."

"How could I like him this way?"

"Daughters are better."

"Daughters are great, they’re daddy’s little angels."

"Hmph, when this boy grows up, I won’t give him much money. Boys need to work hard for themselves."

Being the eldest grandson, he should definitely work hard and not be like Wan Yihui, Zhao Xuran was sure of it.

Gong Ruini listened the whole time, as for Pingping, one of the people involved, he was already asleep and unaware of whatever silly thing Zhao Xuran was saying.

Pingping, being an infant, didn’t understand anything; as for whatever his dad said, did it matter?

Better use that time to sleep than listen to dad rambling.

Ah, Zhao Xuran pointed at his son who had already closed his eyes, quite displeased.

"What’s the matter now?" Gong Ruini glared at Zhao Xuran, "Why are you so loud, don’t you know you might wake up the child?"

Their daughter was somewhat better, usually not making too much noise whether crying or fussing. Not sure if it was due to her previous poor health or just laziness, she was really a quiet child, giving Gong Ruini a sigh of relief.

Was he being loud and boisterous? That comment really hurt Zhao Xuran, "Wife, you don’t love me anymore."

"Ever since we had kids, you really haven’t paid much attention to me." They say that children are the biggest threat to a couple’s relationship.

Before Zhao Xuran thought people saying that were melodramatic, now he wanted to say it was absolutely correct.

Not paying attention to him? Gong Ruini felt exhausted, did she give birth to three kids? "I really do pay attention to you."

On this point, Gong Ruini insisted on clarifying, "Where did I not care for you?"

Gong Ruini admitted at first, she focused a lot on the children, but soon she adjusted.

"You spend more time with the kids than I do every day." Zhao Xuran was speechless, true, Ni Zi hadn’t ignored him.

Every day she’d ask him about anything that happened, and chat with him.

Wait a minute, "Ah, you’ve started calling me ’the kids’ dad,’ instead of Xuran or hubby?" Zhao Xuran expressed his dislike for the freshly minted nickname.

Was this wrong too? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded, "Well, didn’t you start calling me ’kids’ mom’ first?"

Like saying only the high officials can set fires but the commoners can’t light their lamps, Gong Ruini expressed her discontent.

"If I didn’t follow suit, you’d say I didn’t care about you." Gong Ruini felt very helpless.

Wait, did he start it? Zhao Xuran was taken aback; he thought it was not possible for him to call his wife something so old, but could not resist her deadly gaze.

Okay, thinking about it, he really did mention it, "But I only said it once." So wronged, he only brought it up once, why did his wife keep clinging to it?

Just once, "This just shows how much I care about you." Sigh, Gong Ruini felt helpless.

"But since you don’t like it, I’ll just call you brother from now on." She didn’t want to linger over this topic.

In the midst of coaxing her man, Gong Ruini hadn’t noticed that their daughter, who had been crying loudly a moment ago, had already fallen asleep.

"This girl really fell asleep just like that?" Gong Ruini was stunned, was she too easily coaxed or what?

"Isn’t she easy to soothe?" Zhao Xuran was quite satisfied with the well-behaved daughter.

"We should go check out some diamonds someday," Zhao Xuran suddenly suggested.

Look at diamonds? Why would this guy suddenly suggest looking at jewelry?

Not because he was stingy, but because he really never thought of this.

"Want to buy you some jewelry." Couldn’t say he was shocked by how generous Zhao Guangran was to his female companion recently, could he?

This made him introspect for quite a bit, "And I need to prepare a dowry for our daughter too."

"Buy her a big diamond every year."

"And buy her a fund every year, so when she marries, let’s see how lightly the in-laws take her."

Buying big diamonds every year for the daughter, Gong Ruini felt hurt. Remembering to buy for the daughter but not thinking how pitiful his wife was.

Gong Ruini had a feeling that the only reason he thought of buying her diamonds was that he wanted to prepare a dowry for their daughter and conveniently included her.

This made Gong Ruini’s previously happy mood plummet instantly, "Alright, eat something, then I’ll rest."

What’s the matter now? Zhao Xuran watched his wife’s sudden change of face in surprise, she was fine just a moment ago.

"What’s wrong?" If you don’t know, just ask directly.

"Nothing." Hmph, still hoping I’d give you hints? You’re dreaming, if you don’t know, just go find a place to think about it.

Seeing his wife definitely angry, Zhao Xuran felt quite helpless, especially watching her eat then lie down to rest, feeling all sorts of helpless.
