Chapter 352: Chapter 195 Which Woman Doesn’t Love Beauty?_1
“Susu, President, you’re here!” Jenny’s face lit up with a smile as she saw the two of them.
“Please sit, come in and have a seat!” Fang Dajian immediately called out.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan had brought Bai Susu early in the morning to visit them.
“No need to be so polite, we’re all friends. This is a tonic we bought for Jenny to help her recover,” Bai Susu handed the gift to Fang Dajian, then approached the bed.
Seeing Jenny’s weak and pale face, Bai Susu felt a pang of distress in her heart, her eyes brimming with sympathy.
“It’s okay, the doctor said I can eat once I’m able to breathe properly,” Jenny said with a smile.
Jenny was truly happy that Bai Susu could come to see her.
“I’m glad it’s nothing serious, the little one is sleeping so soundly,” Bai Susu said as she admired the little one beside Jenny, her eyes filled with affection.
The little one had just been born, so tiny, with a little wrinkled face and a small body swaddled in a little blanket.
“How much does this little guy weigh, to have required a C-section to come out?” Bai Susu asked.
“He’s just eaten, so he’s pretty calm, not crying much. As soon as dawn broke, he started crying so loudly it was deafening—it was heartbreaking to hear!”
“I can now truly empathize with the feeling of being a parent. When the child cries, it hurts the adults’ hearts too!”
“I’ve come to understand how my parents felt; being a parent is not easy,” Jenny sighed deeply.
“Six and a half pounds, that’s why after trying to deliver for five or six hours and still couldn’t, we had to go for a cesarean section. Now I’ll have a scar on my belly, which is so ugly!” Jenny talked about it, sighing again.
What woman doesn’t love to look beautiful?
Having a scar on her belly would mean she wouldn’t be able to wear crop tops anymore.
“What’s the big deal, it’s a mark of your achievement, your medal of honor. Plus, some scar removal creams can help get rid of it; just give them a try when the time comes,” Bai Susu said.
She wanted to raise Jenny’s spirits, as Jenny had always cared a lot about her beauty and enjoyed dressing up.
Indeed, having a scar on the belly isn’t very pretty.
But, that’s not such a big deal.
As long as the child arrives safely, nothing else really matters.
“I’m a bit sad, but the joy is greater… I have a child now too, it’s wonderful, Susu. Life is truly miraculous.”
“I didn’t know at all at first, but after becoming a mother, I felt it!” Jenny said with a smile.
Despite her pallor, she was beaming, clearly overjoyed and loving her child deeply.
“I wanted a daughter, but having a son is great too.”
“It’s mine, whether a boy or a girl!” Jenny spoke again.
She envied Bai Susu for having four precious daughters, but it’s something beyond control.
It’s all a matter of fate.
She felt that having a son was good too; one day, there might be a daughter-in-law.
So really, sons and daughters are almost the same.
Seeing Fang Dajian earlier, they seemed content to have just this one child.
Frankly, giving birth was too painful, and she didn’t want to go through it again.
So, unless something unexpected happens, this would be their only child.
“It’s good that you think this way, sons and daughters are the same, it doesn’t matter!” Ye Fan said with a smile.
In the past, he knew that Jenny used to say every day that she wanted a daughter. Every time she visited his house and followed Bai Susu around, she would say she wanted to have daughters like Bai Susu and even asked Bai Susu to touch her belly sometimes, to try to transfer some luck.
Unexpectedly, she had a boy.
Jenny didn’t seem to favor girls over boys.
Not bad at all!
“President, don’t say that, you’re making me blush,” Jenny said.
“Alright, you just focus on recovering and don’t tire yourself. If anything comes up, Da Jian will take good care of you. Make sure to rest well. We just came to check on you, but if you need anything, let Da Jian call me and I’ll bring it to you, okay?” Bai Susu said.
“Susu, you talk as if you’re about to leave. Don’t tell me you’re going already; you just got here,” Jenny said, sounding a bit anxious.
If she wasn’t leaving, why all these instructions?
It can’t be right to just leave as soon as one arrives.
“No, I’m just giving you a little extra advice. Just trust me,” Bai Susu said with a wry smile.
“Alright, you two chat. We two big guys will go take a walk outside!” Ye Fan said.
“Thank you, Susu,” Fang Da Jian said.
“It’s no problem, go ahead,” Bai Susu said, waving her hand nonchalantly.
Jenny was her good sister; looking after her was no trouble at all.
Ye Fan and Fang Dajian then left the hospital room.
Once outside the hospital, they made their way to the hospital’s cafeteria.
At this time, Fang Da Jian hadn’t had his meal yet.
“Let’s grab some food, Fan. We might as well eat here for now, and I’ll treat you to a nice meal after we get out of the hospital,” Fang Da Jian said.
He didn’t dare to stray too far from the hospital, since both Jenny and the baby needed care.
Jenny still couldn’t get out of bed much as she hadn’t recovered completely.
So, he needed to be on standby at all times.
“You know, I had already eaten by the time I arrived. I knew you probably hadn’t had anything to eat, which is why I accompanied you out. I’m not hungry, so you just eat up,” Ye Fan said.
He had already eaten breakfast before he came.
How could he be hungry?
“Have some, the water dumplings at this hospital are quite good!” Fang Dajian said.
He had eaten them yesterday and indeed, they were not bad.
“No need, I’ll just chat with you. You eat, let’s go!” Ye Fan patted Fang Dajian’s shoulder and said with a smile.
‘Sure.’ Fang Dajian nodded.
The two made their way to the hospital’s dining area, which was open to the public as well.
Many doctors also ate there.
However, when they arrived, there weren’t many doctors around.
There were still some people in the dining area, all eating.
“This place is quite neat and tidy,” Ye Fan remarked as he entered.
Some staff canteens elsewhere are very messy.
Of course, some are not clean either.
This place, however, is nice, perhaps because it’s a hospital.
Fang Dajian ordered a portion of water dumplings, and they found a spot where fewer people were sitting.
“Brother Fan, you don’t know, I was really scared out of my wits yesterday!” Fang Dajian sighed.
“I know!” Ye Fan nodded.
He had experienced that kind of situation twice yesterday.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
To be honest, the first time was slightly better; after all, he was younger then and didn’t understand much about these things.
The second time, though, was truly agonizing and nerve-racking.
Loving someone and seeing the person you cherish suffer like that hurts him too.
“I’ve never feared anything before, but yesterday I was truly frightened. Brother Fan, I’ve decided I won’t let Jenny have more kids. Having just this one child is enough for the two of us!”
“I really can’t stand to see Jenny go through that again; I’m terrified of something happening to her. Honestly, I would rather be without children if it means Jenny will be okay,” Fang Dajian said with some pain in his voice.
“I know, I know it all. Dajian, everything is fine now, the baby is fine, Jenny is fine too. Your family of three will have many happy days ahead. If you don’t want more children, then don’t have anymore. One is enough!” Ye Fan comforted.
Look at that, this really was the first time seeing Fang Dajian like this.
Fang Dajian had never been like this before.
No, to be precise, he hadn’t been this pained since after the death of his father.
Back then, perhaps he already knew he was the only man in the house and needed to protect his mother and sustain their broken home.
And now, he had an even bigger, more complete family.
Ye Fan knew that Fang Dajian had always been repressing his feelings, trying hard to make himself strong.
If not strong, what could he do?
‘ Luckily, Jenny is okay, really.’ Fang Dajian nodded.
Jenny was really important to him in his heart.
“It’s all good now, don’t worry. Speaking of Auntie, when is she coming?” Ye Fan asked.
“She won’t be here until the afternoon. There are still many chickens and ducks at home that need to be taken care of; people in the countryside usually raise these. My mom is even thinking about how to deal with the chickens and ducks,” Fang Dajian replied.
“You know what? My mom was so happy when she heard that Jenny was going to give birth. She was thrilled at the thought of having a grandson. When my mom sees the child, she’ll be even happier, but there’s a lot keeping her, so she has to wait until the afternoon to come here,” Fang Dajian said with a laugh.
When he spoke about it on the phone, he could feel his mother’s joy.
It was genuine happiness.
Thinking about his mother meeting her grandson made him think she’d be even more excited.
“Auntie will definitely like him. Actually, you can prevent Auntie from going back to the countryside. If necessary, I can give you some money to buy a house!”
“Auntie is getting on in years now, aren’t you worried about her living in the countryside? Living together, you can take care of each other better, and she can help you look after the little one,” Ye Fan suggested.
“Ye Fan, you’re thinking exactly what I’m thinking. We’ve actually already bought a house. It’s all finished and ready; we were just worried about the paint fumes, which aren’t good for one’s health, so we haven’t moved in yet and haven’t told you guys. With a few months passed now, it should be habitable. This time, I’m not letting my mom go back. I want her to live with us,” Fang Dajian said.
“Having her nearby, we can take good care of her. After all, she’s my only mom. Besides Jenny and the baby, she’s all I have, so I don’t want her to be far away from me anymore!” Fang Dajian continued.
Indeed, a longtime good brother knew what was on his mind even without saying it.
“You, you didn’t even tell me and quietly got the house done. Well played! I was thinking of lending you some money if you needed it, but you aren’t short on money at all!” Ye Fan laughed.
“Actually, I don’t have that much money, but I’ve saved a few hundred thousand. The rest was put up by Jenny. I feel a bit like I’m living off of her,” Fang Dajian snickered with a silly grin.
“Turns out among the three of us, you’re the one living off your spouse. But that’s not really the case, right? You’re working hard too. It’s all for a common home!” Ye Fan spoke up again.
At that moment, the front desk announced that the dumplings were ready.
Fang Dajian immediately got up to fetch the dumplings.
The steaming dumplings arrived, and even Ye Fan started to feel hungry.
“Boss, bring another serving of dumplings!” Fang Dajian called out.
Ye Fan made no expression, but he understood immediately.
After all, they had been brothers for nearly ten years. If one couldn’t see what was going on, that relationship might as well be fake.
Ye Fan didn’t try to stop Fang Dajian; he wanted to eat, too.
A bit of a craving!
Talking and eating dumplings together, it was indeed very warm and cozy.
