NCCnovel Chapter 210 Discharge
Chapter 210 Discharge
After sighing, An Xiaoyue was still thinking about what happened yesterday, belatedly realizing what had happened.
"So, you noticed something was wrong with Brother Chu yesterday?"
If she could spot it, how much more so would Fu Shengyang, her childhood friend?
"Well, one is that you noticed his answer was irrelevant, and the other is that he was staring blankly at the doorknob cover that Hua Lan gave you."
An Xiaoyue understood perfectly. She never expected that the soldier Hua Lan mentioned was Sheng Yang's brother.
What a coincidence this world is.
However, coincidences are all created by people.
If Brother Chu hadn't returned on his own, and Sheng Yang hadn't noticed something amiss, who knows when the truth about Brother Chu and Hua Lan's relationship would have been revealed.
"Are Brother Chu and Hua Lan just acquaintances?" Hua Lan had said that she didn't even know if the two of them could be considered boyfriend and girlfriend, so she couldn't help but be curious about what Brother Chu felt about Hua Lan.
"He didn't say they were boyfriend and girlfriend." Fu Shengyang said calmly.
When it comes to matters of the heart, those involved know best.
Even if there are feelings involved, if they aren't expressed, then they aren't.
"Old Xiao would tell us about Hua Lan because of her background. She is the daughter of a martyr, and Old Xiao has always taken care of her."
"Old Xiao, he..." Fu Shengyang felt a pang of sadness thinking about Chu Xiao's family situation.
"His family relationships are quite complicated. Lao Xiao lost his mother when he was young, his father remarried, his maternal grandmother took care of him for a period of time, and after she passed away, he returned to live with the Chu family. However, his room in the house had been converted into his younger sister's piano room by his stepmother, and his father..."
Fu Shengyang thought of Fu Jinhuai's graying hair and didn't continue the conversation.
"In short, Lao Xiao has also had a hard time. After his grandmother passed away, he has been living alone outside."
In An Xiaoyue's mind, she thought of Uncle Chu, who had brought her the laparoscopic model. He didn't seem like a father who would neglect his child at all.
But since it was a second marriage and she had a daughter, many things were naturally different.
"Brother Chu is so kind to Hua Lan probably because he thinks that Hua Lan has no parents to protect and guide her. Brother Chu thinks of his own experience and can't bear to see her like this."
It was because of his goodness that Hua Lan secretly fell in love with him.
Fu Shengyang smiled faintly, Xiaoyue's thoughts were too pure.
If Chu Xiao, a man who lies eight out of ten times and loves to dig holes, were truly kind-hearted, the world would be cleaner than disinfectant.
If he didn't have some ideas, would he spend time, energy, and money on one person?
Men are very pragmatic; their love and money will only flow to the people they love.
This is especially true for men like Chu Xiao who are nurtured and developed.
However, he would not shatter the beautiful image in Xiaoyue's heart.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?" An Xiaoyue was already a little sleepy, her mind wasn't as sharp, and she spoke in a languid tone.
She was breastfed four times last night and didn't get any deep sleep; she didn't get any rest at all.
"I'm being discharged tomorrow. There's a police cordon at the entrance, but there will definitely be media waiting around. They'll be taking pictures. What preparations are you making?"
He has publicly announced their marriage and child; the Fu family has welcomed a new member, and the photos of him being discharged from the hospital are major news that could make the front page.
This was something I promised Ji Yubai—to give his people some performance bonuses.
An Xiaoyue: "Are you going to hold a press conference in front of the hospital?"
She secretly didn't want too much attention, especially not a lucky, frontal photo; she and Sheng Yang wouldn't let anyone take such a picture.
“I won’t give interviews. They want to take pictures, but they’ll just take a few and that’s it. Qiao Xun will just answer a few questions from the media.”
He didn't want to linger at the door for too long and affect Xiaoyue's recovery.
"I don't need to prepare anything. I'm dressed very warmly and wearing sunglasses, so there won't be much to photograph."
"What about clothes?" After all, it's going to be on the news, so we need to pay attention to our attire.
"Just wear the sportswear I brought and a black cloth hat." These were all things she brought with her in her hospital bag when she was admitted.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Now, go and catch up on your sleep."
Fu Shengyang felt a pang of heartache when he saw the faint dark circles under her eyes.
After Lucky finishes drinking colostrum, we'll switch him to formula, otherwise Xiaoyue won't get enough rest.
He lowered the bed a little so that Xiaoyue could sleep well.
Qiu Jie and Xingyun were in the living room. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a bed for Xiaoyue, he leaned down and kissed her lips.
An Xiaoyue instinctively raised her chin and responded to him.
Fu Shengyang's smile deepened, and a dozen seconds later, their lips parted reluctantly.
"We finally got to kiss." Fu Shengyang's voice was slightly hoarse.
It was just a light kiss, but it was enough to ignite a passionate flame.
He awkwardly tidied Xiaoyue's blanket, "Go to sleep for a while, or Xingyun will get hungry again."
"Okay." An Xiaoyue held his hand tightly, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
The following morning, after completing the discharge procedures.
Just as Fu Shengyang had predicted, a dense crowd stood at the entrance.
He appeared at the hospital entrance, holding An Xiaoyue's arm in one hand and carrying a baby carrier in the other.
The media, who had set up their cameras early and were waiting, started snapping photos the moment the glass door opened.
Wearing sunglasses, An Xiaoyue was sleeping soundly in a baby carrier that was completely covered up, ensuring that both mother and child's eyes were well protected.
The family of three stood there, posing for photos with everyone.
After everyone had finished taking pictures, they started asking questions, and Qiao Xun stepped forward to stop them.
"Dear media friends, the president and his wife are only taking photos. His wife's health condition prevents her from staying outside for too long, so we hope you can understand. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
Media 1: "Secretary Qiao, your wife is recovering so well, did she have a natural birth?"
If they can get through it on their own, then they've recovered well.
Qiao Xun: "Yes, the wife chose painless natural childbirth, but the process was still very difficult. Every mother is a great woman."
Media 2: "The child is the eldest grandson of the Fu family. What is his name?"
Qiao Xun: "The young master's nickname was chosen by the madam, and his formal name was decided by both grandfathers, and he was named Fu Chengyun."
Media 3: "Will the Fu family reward An Xiaoyue for giving birth to a child?"
Qiao Xun: "The Madam and the President have a very close relationship, so there are naturally many material rewards. Since the Madam is still in school, the President will take on the responsibility of raising the young master so that the Madam can concentrate on her studies. During the Madam's pregnancy, the President has also been learning how to raise children and will not leave everything to a childcare worker."
Qiao Xun's answer was flawless; how could he fall into someone else's trap?
Everyone knows perfectly well that what they really want to know is whether the assets under Fu Wantang's name will go to An Xiaoyue, who will bear children for the Fu family.
Media professionals are perceptive; they know they won't get the questions they want to hear, and soon no one asks any more.
After thanking the media friends again, Qiao Xun left.
