Jiang Nian was not only teased by fate, but also caught by Han Xiao. The return ticket was booked for the next morning.
In fact, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and had suffered great damage to her soul. She followed Han Xiao with almost no resistance. But the thought of going home soon and finally ending this wandering life, and that the Fantastic Four Fishing would reunite again could be considered a little comfort to her.
At first, Han Xiao was stunned for a while. He probably didnât expect Jiang Nian would be so obedient. But he knew Jiang Nian well; heâd been hit with a slap after a sweet date twice before. It could just be a lie for him to relax his vigilance and give her the opportunity to run.
This time, he didnât dare to take her words at face value. Not only did he stare at her relentlessly 24/7, he had his small assistant act as jailor with him. If something went wrong before they returnedâŠâŠ
Han Xiao looked at the small assistant with a smile: âThis is a good opportunity for you to make up for your work.â
The little assistant felt a chill down his back, and immediately swore to the sky.
âPresident Han, rest assured, mistress Nian will absolutely be fine!â
While Han Xiao explained to the small assistant, Jiang Nian had finished eating the birdâs nest and was going to take a nap in the room.
He looked at the clumsy figure of Jiang Nian who was helped to stand up, somewhat happy, somewhat distressed, and somewhat guilty.
Women having children was a blessing and a curse.
Han Xiao went to the hospital before going abroad. He asked a doctor to inquire about various conditions encountered by a woman from pregnancy to childbirth. She would have morning sickness in the early stages. As the fetus grew, pregnant mothers would also swell with stretch marks. Pregnancy also affected memory and, of course, it was not easy to sleep at night. The most terrible thing was that having a child at the end is equivalent to a half-step into a ghost gate!1Â Moreover, theyâd still have to take care of the child after giving birth.
Han Xiao broke into a cold sweat when he heard those words.
Jiang Nian already looked petite and fragile. Besides, sheâd come all alone, which made him even more uneasy and unable to stop thinking about it.
However, he hadnât been idle in Paris either. In addition to searching for Jiang Nianâs whereabouts every day, he also read a lot of parenting books, and relished them with interest. Whoâd think that he, Han Wushao, would do something like that? He couldnât have been forced before, but now he was willing.
Just for a woman named Jiang Nian.
Han Xiao went to the bedroom after explaining to the little assistant. Jiang Nian was resting in the room at the moment. He sat at the bedside, watching Jiang Nian lying sideways with her belly in her hands and frowning. Needless to say, he felt heartache.
Han Xiao wanted to talk to her carefully, but her emotions were extremely low along the way, and he didnât feel comfortable mentioning anything else. Her promise to return to the country was already all he could ask for.
He stroked her slightly frowning eyebrows and gently rubbed her fingers over her face. The person he missed most was in front of him, and he just wanted to hold her in his arms.
Jiang Nianâs sleep was very shallow. She felt the itchy sensation on her face and opened her eyes in a confused way. Han Xiaoâs hand paused, concealed the affection in his eyes, and was embarrassed to be caught.
âSorry, did I wake you up?â
She looked at him and kicked her lower leg.
âMy leg is cramped, and you rub it for me.â
Han Xiao served someone for the first time, and he was quite messy. Fortunately, Jiang Nian didnât have high requirements- as long as he could relieve pain. Han Xiao rubbed for a while and asked if she was better. If she was still uncomfortable, call a doctor!
Jiang Nian smiled and spoke, âDonât be nervous, itâs a normal phenomenon. If you go to the doctor for just a cramp, wouldnât the hospital be too busy?â
Of course, Han Xiao knew that this was normal, but he still couldnât help but be nervous.
âDoes it hurt every day?â
Jiang Nian thought for a while.
âItâs okay, just occasionally.â
âFrom now on, call me if youâre hurting or feeling uncomfortable.â
His lowered eyebrows were very good-looking, and his hand movements werenât too light but very gentle.
âNiannian, donât run away. I will take care of you in the future. Come home with me, OK?â
Jiang Nian smiled and said, âHavenât you booked the tickets already?â
Han Xiao looked up at her with deep eyes, serious and persistent.
âI want you to promise me personally, and be willing to go home with me voluntarily. I know that my previous actions were untrustworthy; getting divorced and then back together were all my initiative and I selfishly never asked your opinion. But I have been different since I fell in love with you. My eyes and heart have only you, and my future has only you. I can give you everything I can, just please let me take care of you from now on.â
He suddenly knelt next to her bed, and took out a diamond ring from somewhere.
âNiannian, I was forced to marry you the first time, but now I want it. Niannian, marry me again. This time, I wonât let you regret it, and I wonât give you a chance to regret it. Iâll be with you in the future, drinking tea and watching the flowers with you, playing football in the yard with our child with you, playing basketball with you, and, when weâre old, go fishing with you.â
Jiang Nian: âConsidering your aggressive expression before, youâre not angry?â
âAngry, very angry. I was angry you mysteriously disappeared without a word, without even mentioning the child to me.â
But this anger, every time he saw Jiang Nian, would decrease a point, and one more glance, it went down even more. Until, now, he found all of his anger was gone, and only distress and love remained.
Han Xiao said, âI must have done something wrong, so that you donât trust me, so that you choose to leave.â
Jiang Nian felt that Han Xiao was really a master of love, and what he said would always move peopleâs hearts. But she still quite liked him. She took the ring in Han Xiaoâs hand and pinched it in her hand.
âActually, I know, if you donât care about me, you canât find my pregnancy.â
Han Xiao was overjoyed. Where would he be silly enough to confirm again at this time? He took it as Jiang Nian agreed and stepped forward to hug her into his arms. He smelled the familiar sweet taste on her body and was obsessed.
âNiannian , I love you.â
Jiang Nian was out of breath and slapped his back.
âLighter. Be careful of my stomach.â
Han Xiao was so happy that he touched Jiang Nianâs round belly with one hand.
As soon as he touched it, he felt that his hand was hit by something. He was shocked speechless, only regaining his senses when the little force hit him again in the palm of his hand.
âHe, he moved? Did he kick me?â
Jiang Nian said, âYes, this child must be so lively like you. Heâs so noisy I canât sleep at night.â
âThen when he comes out, Iâll spank him!â
Jiang Nian shook her head seriously.
âHow can I do that? If anyone spanks it should be me.â
Han Xiao: ââŠâŠâŠâŠgoodâ
Jiang Nian accepted his ring and Han Xiao immediately called his grandfather saying he had found Jiang Nian, and she also agreed to him. He announced their arrival time of the next evening so that the old man wouldnât worry.
In addition, it was unknown when Han Zhongcheng returned from Bali. He was shocked when he heard what happened at home. And couldnât help but scold Han Xiao as well. Han Zhongcheng himself was also a wife slave. Although his wife had been dead for many years, he had not forgotten her one day, and because of this, he sent his love to the landscape.2
What happened at home was not immediately told to Han Zhongcheng. After all, he was traveling at the time and no one wanted to distract him too much. So when he returned and found that the house had undergone tremendous changes, and he couldnât help but want to hit people.
Han Xiao was also very miserable. His father and grandfather scolded the ground he walked on. Of course, no matter how they scolded Han Xiao, he was very happy. Now there should be nothing that could make him unhappy.
Early the next morning, Jiang Nian grabbed her small bag again, loaded her passbook and deeds to four small houses, and returned home. Although, it was a pity that she had not lived in the small house on the XX river bank.
Sheâd been alone for so long, and now couldnât wait to return home. Although Han Xiao was happy, he was more worried that Jiang Nian might have a hard time staying on the plane for more than ten hours. Jiang Nian felt nothing, anyway, she was accustomed to hardships and suffering, this much was nothing. Not to mention, with the small deeds still on her, she had unlimited power!
Han Xiao was distressed again.
Little assistant: ââŠâŠâŠâ
This terrible rich world!
When Jiang Nian and Han Xiao arrived home, it was about nine oâclock in the evening. Father Han knew that Jiang Nian was coming back and waited at the door without sleeping at night. The entire Han family was brightly lit, even Liu Lao and Li Lao were there. Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei also came, not for anything else, just to see how Jiang Nian, who had stolen their grandfatherâs love, was doing now. Of course, they also wanted to see Han Xiaoâs joke.
The romantic Han Wushao turned into an infatuated wife slave. This was a hot topic recently discussed in the circle. Everyone wanted to interview Han Wushaoâs mental journey. After all, the marriage was lively, the divorce was lively, and the process of seeking remarriage with the ex-wife was even livelier.
Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei touched the light of the old men in the family3Â and were able to see the rumored heroine for the first time. In their imagination, Jiang Nian went abroad with a big belly so she definitely didnât live any good days, just like when they went abroad as foreign student for a period of time in high school.
Although there was no language barrier, it was a foreign country in the end, and it was inevitable to be discriminated against and treated differently by unfamiliar people. Not to mention, they werenât used to the food, and the learning content was very different, andâŠIn short, it was not a good time.
Could Jiang Nian, who even had difficulty moving and had never been abroad, fare better while pregnant?
Han Xiao found her quickly. Jiang Nian was probably afraid waiting in a foreign country and agreed to him happily.(T/N: Not sure on translation, anyone want to take a crack at it: é©ćžæŸèżć»ïŒćȘææ±ćż”äčæŻçäșćçïŒćżéèé«ć
Žäșćą.)
Reconciliation now probably wasnât a good thing. (T/N: From what I guess, they worry the reconciliation was just out of JNâs desperation and not from any real feelings for HX? But a proper translation of the sentence above would clear this up!)
But soon, they found that they seemed to be wrong?
Several black cars were parked in the yard, Han Xiao got out of the car, quickly detoured to the other side to oep the door for Jiang Nian, and then came around to help the pregnant woman with a big belly. She smiled and looked good. Although she was a lot fatter, the rounded cheeks were cute.
The two got out of the car, and the people in the car behind also came down. The little assistant emerged with two unknown foreigners, two Chinese people, and a strong looking man with trembling muscles.
Why did Han Xiao bring home so many people back home?
The few old men over there pulled Jiang Nian for a good feast. Han Lao said, âOh, look at this, itâs thin. I asked Aunt Wang to cook your favorite catfish soup. Wait a bit longer and you can go have a drink!â
Liu Lao also said, âItâs a lot of hard work staying outside. Donât leave this time. If Han Xiao dares to do anything sorry for you just kick him away, donât let him go home.â
Li Lao said, âYou have deceived us miserably, we really believed your nonsense about going out to play! But next time, this is not allowed. If thereâs any problem, just say it. We old men will support you.â
Jiang Nian was also very happy: âI didnât expect our Fantastic Four Fishing to reunite so early, itâs great!â
Three old masters: ââŠâŠâŠâŠâ
It seemed a little embarrassing to say in front of so many people.
Everyone in the Han family: ââŠâŠâŠâ
Second Uncle Han came over and said it was good that she come back. The person who should leave in the future was Han Xiao, so she could live comfortably. Han Zhongcheng was not good at talking and simply patted Jiang Nian on the shoulder, asking if she had been tired travelling for more than ten hours, and told her to hurry to eat something and go back to rest!
Of course, while he was distressed by Jiang Nian, he did not forget to glare at Han Xiao who was left out of the crowd. Han Xiao touched his nose, his wife returned, and he was nothing.
Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei stepped forward and hooked Han Xiaoâs shoulders.
âWuge, terrible, finally chased the sister-in-law.â
Han Xiao shook them away: âMen donât stick so close. Stay away from me.â
Li Fei wiped his tears: ââŠYou didnât say that when you came to bring us food!â
Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei calmed their little hearts. Anyway, their grandpasâ love and brotherâs love were already taken away by Jiang Nian.
But they still could not help but say: âYou donât think your wife is too protected? Come on, why did only two of you leave but seven came back? Are those staff you looked for to take care of sister-in-law? Youâre more and more overprotective! Has the legendary Han Wushao fallen?â
Han Xiao glanced at them, not wanting to say anything. He only wanted to protect his wife and take her for dinner. She just took a plane and didnât sleep or eat well and had to make up for it. But there were too many people protecting her. Now, she was held in the center of a crowd, and he couldnât even grasp a piece of her clothing!
Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei looked at Han Xiaoâs dog legs4Â and rolled their eyes together.
Suddenly they heard a faint voice in their ears saying, âThose are the madamâs hires.â
Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei looked at the little assistant: âJiang Nianâs?â
âYes, a bodyguard, a personal assistant, a nutritionist. And because pregnancy isnât suited for eating out, she invited a chef to make meals at any time.â
Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei: ââŠâŠâŠ??â
âŠâŠâŠSo pampered, then how can you still stand here feeling distressed? From time to time, a grandfather would sigh and say that Jiang Nian was alone, displaced, wandering, and had a big belly. It was so distressing, ahâŠâŠ
They didnât believe that their grandfathers did not know the situation!
âBy the way, the background behind Jiang Nianâs picture we looked at before seems to be an old castle?â
âYes, thatâs the wifeâs property.â
Liu Zhengyang & Li Fei were surprised.
ââŠThe house she bought was an old castle?â5
The little assistant said lightly, âNo, there are still two or three properties.â
âŠâŠ Sorry to bother you, weâre gone!
