Chapter 1390 - 1392
"Troublesome." Another wedding gift, another child gift; Dai Liren really doesn’t know what to do.
"I can’t just give money."
"Even though this gift is expected to please Gong Ruini, it’s really too thoughtless."
Dai Liren wanted to tell himself to get a good night’s sleep, but thinking about these things, he really couldn’t sleep.
What to do, Dai Liren thought for a long time, and finally decided to wait until he could reach Dai Limin to ask for his opinion.
This guy, even if he doesn’t want to think, he can’t just dismiss it unless he really has no desire to keep up.
After throwing this heavy burden onto the clueless Dai Limin, Dai Liren felt a lot better. He drank a glass of water, had a meal, and then closed his eyes to sleep.
As for Zhao Xuran, who was sitting restlessly nearby, Dai Liren thought he really didn’t need food or water; he just needed to keep an eye on Gong Ruini.
Gong Ruini knew this time her sleep duration was unusually short, as she woke up feeling all sorts of aches and pains.
"Hungry?" Zhao Xuran asked cautiously from the side.
"Thirsty?"
Zhao Xuran’s gentle tone really startled Gong Ruini, and quite a bit too.
Although Zhao Xuran usually spoke to her quite amicably, he was never this gentle.
"What’s wrong with you?" Gong Ruini’s first thought was that Zhao Xuran might have done something to betray her; otherwise, why would he be so gentle?
"Nothing’s wrong." Zhao Xuran was truly hurt that Gong Ruini thought this way of him.
Nothing’s wrong? Gong Ruini looked suspiciously at Zhao Xuran; since he said so, let’s assume he isn’t wrong.
"Get up, I need to use the bathroom."
"Alright." Zhao Xuran stood up, making way for Gong Ruini to go to the bathroom.
Watching Zhao Xuran following her, Gong Ruini wasn’t surprised; maybe he also needed to use the bathroom.
"Done." After taking care of her physiological needs, Gong Ruini signaled Zhao Xuran to use the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, he actually turned around and followed her back to their spot, which puzzled Gong Ruini.
This obviously wasn’t him wanting to use the bathroom, but purely wanting to escort her; what’s going on?
Gong Ruini sat down, "There’s something wrong."
No matter how well Zhao Xuran treated her, when they went to Hawaii, he wasn’t as thoughtful as he was this time.
Could something have happened in New York?
No, Gong Ruini was full of questions, staring at Zhao Xuran intently, "Speak up, what’s the matter?"
"Don’t say it’s nothing."
"And don’t casually make up a reason." Gong Ruini said sternly to Zhao Xuran.
If she didn’t say so, even if he did speak, it would just be an arbitrary excuse.
Regarding this, Zhao Xuran knew he couldn’t hide it from Gong Ruini; she didn’t know now, but it was impossible for her to remain unaware forever.
Moreover, once she knows the details, she will be attentive.
"I might be becoming a dad." Zhao Xuran was in great spirits.
Although he married late, he was a winner in life; unlike his classmates who could only have one child, he could have at least two.
Becoming a dad? Oh, Gong Ruini was quite astute, but she couldn’t help it; she had just woken up, and added to the fact that she found Zhao Xuran’s behavior suspect.
So upon hearing Zhao Xuran’s talk of becoming a dad, "Ah, you have a child with a woman outside."
Oh, my, she had been monitoring Zhao Xuran closely, couldn’t believe he found time to cheat.
Gong Ruini was really upset and genuinely wanted to throw a few punches at Zhao Xuran.
But she held back, not because of magnanimity, but because it was a public place; regardless, she had to give her brother and Dai Liren some face.
No rush in dealing with Zhao Xuran; once she returns to New York, she absolutely won’t let him off easily.
Upon hearing ’Ni Zi’ responded to his words, Zhao Xuran assumed she’d be thrilled, yet instead saw his wife’s face drop, leaving him bewildered.
A child with a woman outside? Zhao Xuran was stunned, "Ni Zi, how could you think that?"
Please, he never had such a thought, how could Gong Ruini say such things out of the blue?
What did he do wrong that made Ni Zi think this way?
"How did I think wrongly, you’re going to be a dad now." Hmph, Gong Ruini angrily turned her head to look outside the window.
If she kept staring at Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini even worried she’d struggle to restrain her hands.
"Yes, but the child’s mom is you." Zhao Xuran realized he couldn’t expect Gong Ruini to figure it out on her own, indicating his wife seemed like the type to be forgetful during pregnancy for three years.
What, she’s the mom? Gong Ruini was stunned, regardless of her red eyes, her image didn’t matter.
"I, I, I..." Gong Ruini didn’t understand; she was the one pregnant, yet had no inkling, while her man knew—what kind of situation is this.
"Haven’t you been so tired these days, constantly yawning?" Seeing the confused look on his wife’s face, Zhao Xuran indicated that his wife really turned silly after getting pregnant.
Even though he really liked her adorable silliness, considering it was rather special circumstances, he had to keep a close eye on Gong Ruini.
"Wasn’t that because I’m tired?" Yawning and wanting sleep, Gong Ruini cast a quick sideways glance at the person next to her; if it weren’t for his love for swimming pools all sorts, would she be this tired?
His wife’s slightly complaining look made Zhao Xuran quite embarrassed.
Of course, Zhao Xuran defended himself a little, "Wasn’t it that the pool was nice, I thought it was quite good."
"Plus, you looked great in your swimsuit." Zhao Xuran stated that even though he tried to restrain himself, upon seeing his wife dressed so elegantly, if he could still hold back, he wouldn’t truly be a man.
Oh, and it still wasn’t her fault, Gong Ruini was furious, glaring sharply at Zhao Xuran.
"Careful, careful, there are people around."
"Once we’re home, I’ll let you have your way." Zhao Xuran clutched his wife, continually reassuring her.
"Outside, give your man some face."
"Back home, I’ll let you have your way."
"Hmph, why not think of my face." Gong Ruini didn’t quite agree with this; being resolute in dealing with Zhao Xuran at home, she truly had no objection.
But he shouldn’t neglect her face, this clearly can’t start a precedent, otherwise the frequency of such events would only rise in the future.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I was wrong." Zhao Xuran admitted he hadn’t considered enough, "I’ll definitely never do it again."
Gong Ruzhi beside them was already dumbfounded, what’s going on; thinking Brother Xu Ran had done something to betray his sister, unexpectedly it wasn’t the case.
He’s going to become an uncle, he’s going to become an uncle.
Oh my, Gong Ruzhi was truly stunned; although he always thought he’d become an uncle before becoming an uncle.
Didn’t expect it to be so soon, his sister was going to be a mom, oh my.
Gong Ruzhi started to panic a bit.
