Chapter 339: Chapter 339
"Why haven’t they come out?" Li Fei looked at the tightly shut elevator doors in surprise, noticing the flashing red electronic text indicating Basement Level 1.
Zhou Rou couldn’t help but laugh; this was truly a bumpkin entering the city. "People as rich as them definitely have a car. Of course, they went to the underground parking lot! Don’t tell me you didn’t know that?"
Li Fei forced herself to respond calmly, "I’m new to the big city, you know. We don’t have things back home!" As she said this, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes.
Li Si had really made it now—finding herself a rich man, owning a home and a car, completely pulling ahead of her.
From childhood to now, Li Si had never been better than her in anything, but somehow she always had good luck. She believed that when their uncle passed away, Li Si would be finished.
Who would have thought she could climb up all on her own and even bag herself such a rich husband? There was no justice in it.
And then there was Zhou Rou, seemingly as delicate as an innocent flower. Li Fei thought herself no worse than her either! That Brother Han was both handsome and wealthy; why would he fall for Zhou Rou? It was truly a case of good cabbage being ruined by pigs—or, in this case, Brother Han was the "good cabbage" for sure!
Zhou Rou snorted but didn’t say anything. If she knew what Li Fei was thinking right now, she might be out for blood. Unfortunately, she lacked the supernatural ability to see through others’ thoughts.
She was suffering as it was—the procedure might have been painless, but her lower abdomen still ached dully. She only wanted to lie down and rest for a while.
She didn’t have the energy to mock Li Fei further. She had already decided that since Li Fei had been staying at her place these past few days, eating and drinking for free, taking care of her now seemed fair enough—like hiring herself a maid. Thinking this way made her feel a bit more balanced inside.
But not long afterward, she would bitterly regret this decision.
When Han Mingxue rushed over, Zhou Rou and Li Fei had already made their way to the hospital entrance and were about to flag down a cab.
"Xiao Rou! I’m sorry! I’m late!" He hurriedly got out of the car and, upon seeing Zhou Rou’s pale and weak smile, understood immediately. He gently helped her into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt for her.
After settling into the driver’s seat and buckling his own seatbelt, Han Mingxue asked with concern, "Feeling better now?"
Zhou Rou’s eyes reddened slightly, as if she felt somewhat aggrieved. Putting on a strong front, she said, "Ah Xue, I’m fine! It’s just... it hurts thinking about the baby; in the end, I couldn’t keep him."
As she spoke, she carefully watched his expression. Her heart was filled with apprehension. Now that the baby was gone, would he still want her? Follow current novels on novelꜰire.net
Han Mingxue comforted her gently, saying, "Don’t be sad! Xiao Rou, the odds were stacked against us. As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters! We can have another baby in the future. For now, you need to focus on recovering, understood?"
"Mm! I’ll listen to you!" Zhou Rou nodded submissively. As long as he had no other intentions, she remained confident. The future was long, and sooner or later, she would marry into the Han Family.
The Han Family’s eldest son had divorced not long ago. Yin Qi, after receiving a huge sum of property during the split and taking her child, spent a few days back at her mother’s home. After an argument with Ye Duowei, she abruptly left the country.
So, other than getting her health back on track, it was also time for Zhou Rou to start comforting Mrs. Han properly.
Li Fei, after curling her lips and opening the rear door herself to get in, took in Han Mingxue’s tender care and found it exceedingly irritating.
A car honked from behind, prompting Han Mingxue to turn the steering wheel. He glanced into the rearview mirror and smiled at Li Fei, saying, "Li Fei, thank you! If it weren’t for sudden family matters, I would’ve been here to accompany Xiao Rou no matter what!"
"Brother Han, you’re too kind! Even without your instructions, I would have accompanied Sister Xiao Rou!" Li Fei replied with a graceful smile.
Her gaze, however, drifted out the car window, as her mind conjured fantasies of what it would be like if this man belonged to her.
She never expected that someday this fantasy would indeed become reality. But some things that appeared so beautiful...
Su Meng mustered the courage to undergo a full checkup, and when she received the report showing everything was normal, tears welled up in her eyes.
Recently, Long Wu had been relentless in his pursuit. She had wanted to respond but was always afraid of being hurt again.
Especially her infertility—it was a permanent scar in her heart, always timely reminding her of its presence. And the appearance of Mrs. Long made her even more hesitant to move forward.
But today, she cried tears of joy. The burden on her shoulders and the big stone weighing her heart had been lifted, and she felt an unparalleled sense of relief.
When Li Si heard the news, she was happy for her. Life wasn’t long, and Su Meng and Long Wu truly loved each other. Even if they’d been separated for years and endured hardships, they shouldn’t let infertility prevent them from being together.
