Chapter 1472 Surgical Period
"Okay." Mu Ning quickly followed. "Don't you want me to carry you anymore? Do you need a cane?"
She was always worried that he wouldn't be able to walk for long, because he was mostly in a wheelchair when he left the room.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shiyuan paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Mu Ning handed him a cane, and the two went downstairs. Just then, the Third Madam and the Eldest Miss entered the house from outside. Upon seeing Mu Ning, the Third Madam's face clearly relaxed.
How is Mu Ning's health?
The eldest son woke up in the morning and said that the girl had caught a cold from taking care of him.
"I'm fine now. Look at me, I'm as strong as an ox, what could possibly be wrong with me?" Mu Ning laughed happily.
The third wife looked at Mu Ning and thought to herself, "It's really fortunate that she has a good constitution. If she were as frail as before, she would have had to lie in bed for several days to recover from this illness."
"Come sit down. Is Shiyuan going out today?" the Third Madam asked, pulling her daughter down to sit with her hand.
Seventeen didn't look well. She went to the hospital that morning. If she didn't have surgery soon, she would have to have an induced labor. After all, it was her and Kou Quan's first child, and she had no reason to give up. She had wanted to take the risk and try, but her husband had turned against her because of it.
Kou Quan brought up this matter as soon as he arrived yesterday, but Shiqi avoided the topic. He just wanted to keep the child. If it weren't for wanting to keep the child, why would he have returned to Beijing with his mother right after getting married?
So when Kou Quan came to the capital, he didn't tell her in advance, for fear that she would hide.
As Huo Yan sat down, she smoothed her daughter's hair and said softly, "If you're tired, go and rest, okay?"
Seventeen shook her head. "I can't sleep."
I didn't sleep well last night. I had a big fight with my husband, and we ended up sleeping on the sofa while one of us slept on the bed. We were just sulking.
Huo Yan gently comforted Seventeen. Mu Ning sat opposite her, filled with envy. All mothers in the world love their children like this. She also had a mother who loved her.
“We’re going away for three months and may not be able to come back to live here for a while,” Zhuang Shiyuan said.
"Hmm? You're still not fully recovered..."
Zhuang Shiyuan interrupted his mother directly, "We're going to see Dr. Lin."
"...I see." The third wife was speechless for a moment after her son's words, and then said after a long while, "Now that you're going to see Dr. Lin, I'm relieved."
“There’s nothing to worry about. With her here, it’s the same wherever I go,” Zhuang Shiyuan said.
Mu Ning turned to look at him cooperatively and smiled at him. Zhuang Shiyuan gently brushed aside the bangs that were covering her eyelids. The bangs were too long, and it was on his advice that they should be longer so that they wouldn't cover her forehead.
The third wife looked at Mu Ning again and smiled, "Yes, Mom is relieved."
After lunch, Zhuang Shiyuan and Mu Ning left. Mu Ning was naturally happy. As long as she had familiar people with her, she felt confident wherever she went, and the whole world seemed bright and sunny. Going out alone made her a little timid, and she felt that all strangers might be bad people. Despite her large size, she was actually quite insecure.
In the afternoon, Kou Quan went back to the Zhuang family home. Shiqi was unwilling to return to the marital home where the two had lived for three years. The main reason was the child, and also, there were still some lingering shadows in her heart.
Kou Quan specifically brought up the matter of having Seventeen undergo surgery again at the dinner table. His friend would perform the surgery himself, which would be risk-free and painless, and he would be by Seventeen's side at all times.
Seventeen remained silent, her head buried, occasionally stuffing something into her mouth to chew.
The third wife looked at her silent daughter and broke the dull atmosphere with a smile, "The surgery should be done, Qiqi. We can't delay any longer. The longer we delay, the more damage it will do to your body. You have to think about the future."
Kou Quan breathed a sigh of relief. It was inappropriate to bring this up at the dinner table, but he wanted his family's approval; otherwise, she would stubbornly refuse to go. He couldn't force her to go if she didn't want to. So, upon hearing his mother-in-law's words, Kou Quan immediately looked at her with gratitude.
Zhuang Zhoucheng slightly raised his eyes and looked at his daughter: "The timing hasn't been set yet?"
Okay, that's it, we've decided to take the picture right away.
Seventeen kept her head down for a long time before finally raising it and replying perfunctorily, "Well, it's not decided yet, but I feel great. I don't think anything will happen. Don't make a fuss, it's not that serious. Don't I know my own body?"
Kou Quan's face darkened, and he insisted on bringing up the matter. When she couldn't avoid it, she used this excuse to refuse.
Kou Quan couldn't win an argument with her, and they would quarrel if he tried. He was afraid of hurting her feelings, and he couldn't be too forceful, so the matter dragged on until now. He had no choice but to hope that the Zhuang family could put pressure on her to make her obey.
"Don't be willful, this isn't something you can do recklessly," Zhuang Zhoucheng said coldly.
The third wife advised, "Yes, Qiqi, listen to your father, don't be willful, this is no joke. You are still young, you will have more children sooner or later."
Kou Quan chimed in, "Get your health in order first. Besides, we already have a daughter. We can afford to have a second child, but it would be best to wait until Paopao is a bit older so you can have more time to take care of our second child."
Kou Quan spoke these words in a very calm tone. Zhuang Zhoucheng and Huo Yan looked at him at the same time, their gazes scrutinizing him, probably out of surprise.
For Kou Quan, it would be easier to accept that Bubble's biological father was a complete stranger than that person.
However, they all knew Kou Quan's character very well and had long guessed that Kou Quan would wholeheartedly accept Bubble.
"...But..." Seventeen remained silent for a long time.
Kou Quan's words swayed her somewhat. Indeed, her daughter was still young, and she already owed her too much to her youngest daughter. If she were to have a second child soon, she wouldn't be able to devote more attention to her daughter.
"Listen to me, trust me, okay?" Kou Quan looked intently at Seventeen, who met his gaze for a moment before turning his face away.
"We'll talk about it later, let's eat first." Seventeen finally relented.
Kou Quan looked helplessly at Seventeen, then at his mother-in-law. The Third Madam smiled reassuringly, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk afterward."
Kou Quan felt reassured by the Third Madam's words. For Seventeen, the words of his family were much more effective than his own.
With Zhuang Shiyuan and Mu Ning not home, and Zhuang Shijue still out, the dinner table felt rather deserted. It's only when everyone is together that a meal truly feels enjoyable.
After the meal, Kou Quan immediately contacted the doctor to schedule an appointment. When Seventeen heard this, her face immediately fell. She hadn't even thought about it yet, so why was he making the decision for her?
Kou Quan hung up the phone before comforting his wife, "Qiqi, let's not argue, let's talk this out, okay?"
"Didn't you say you'd do whatever I said? Why are you changing your mind now?" Seventeen retorted angrily. "We've only been married a few days!"
“It’s been over four years, more than 1,300 days. We’re not newlyweds,” Kou Quan said.
"So you can go back on your word?" Seventeen retorted.
