"Do I look okay?" Zhi Rou asked him.
Yuan Rui frowned and asked, "Where are you going dressed like that?"
Zhi Rou mimicked his frown saying, "To meet with my investor. I already told you about it last night."
"Why can't you just go dressed in a tracksuit? You look too good to be just meeting someone," he complained.
Zhi Rou chuckled and shook her head, "This is a business meeting husband, I can't show up there looking like I'm crazy."
Yuan Rui regarded her and asked, "Did you find out who your investor is?"
She nodded her head and squinted as she tried to remember who it was and said, "Wang Lei said it's a businessman called... Shao Cheng something."
Zhi Rou walked into the private room of the restaurant and was surprised. A handsome man sat beside a woman in a wheelchair holding hands and when they saw her walk in they smiled at her.She closed the door greeting, “Good morning.”The man stood up and said, “Good morning Mrs Zhao, I am sorry we made you come all this way to see us.”She walked over and shook his hand, “It is not a problem, I needed the fresh air.”“Please, have a seat,” he said pulling out her chair for her and pushed her in.He sat beside the woman who held her hand out saying, “I am so happy that we could meet you, Mrs Zhao.”Zhi Rou shook her hand a
Yuan Rui was lying on the floor with his son on his stomach fast asleep.Zhi Rou was in the kitchen preparing lunch for them when Yuan Rui's phone rang. He picked it up off the floor on his right side and looked at the caller ID.His eyes widened reading his brothers name and swiped left answering it, "Hello?""Hello brother. How are you doing?" He asked.Yuan Rui frowned. He placed his free hand on Shaotian's back and sat up. He positioned himself correctly and answered, "I, I'm fine. How are you? Where are you and when are you coming home?"Hearing Yuan Rui's worried tone Nianzhen answered with a chuckle, "I am fine brother. I am back in the country but I don't know if it's safe to come home. You have been busy and my
Zhi Rou was woken up in the middle of the night because a sharp pain pierced her side. She couldn't even move her body with how painful it was.Raising her hand she hit Yuan Rui awake, "Wake up! Wake up! I think there's something wrong with the baby.""What?" He asked as he quickly sat up on his knees.The lights switched on in the room with a clap of his hands and he looked at his wife. She was struggling to get up but what caught his attention was the blood soaking the sheets and her clothes.He looked down at himself and saw that he too was covered in it and immediately paled. Jumping off the bed, he ran around the bed and scooped her up in his arms saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."Zhi Rou forced her eyes open as
Zhao Mian and her husband arrived at the hospital shortly after Yuan Rui left and found her parents sitting outside Zhi Rou's room."Mother, father? Is she going to be okay?" She asked looking into the hospital room. She could see the baby had an oxygen tank attached to her in a Neonatal Intensive Care bed.Zhao Chou sighed rocking back and forth with Shaotian asleep in her arms and said, "The doctors said her womb ruptured and there was accessive bleeding. She's in an induced coma to heal and might stay longer in hospital as well. The baby was fine when your brother was still here but she suddenly stopped breathing. They resuscitated her and now she is on oxygen support.”Zhao Mian sighed as she sat down beside her mother and she kissed Shaotian on the head, “He must be really worried about her, babies
Zhi Rou sat in a wheelchair outside the surgery room and looked at her husband who was sitting not too far from her on a hospital chair eating ice cream. He looked down at her when he felt someone staring at him and smiled at her, “What are you thinking?”“Nothing in particular,” she answered.“Then why the long face? Are you going to cry?” He asked.She shook her head, “No, I’m just wondering how long her hair is going to be. Mine was so crazy to maintain that I ended up cutting it.”“Yes, only after I kicked you out of the house,” Yuan Rui answered with a smirk.Zhao Mian walked over holding Shaotian with her father beside her. She smiled as she walked over t
6 months later.Zhi Rou looked glared at her son who was crawling towards the kitchen table. He then climbed up and was standing. He turned to look at his mother and smiled, “Mama.”“Don’t mama me, come here, you need to bath. If I am late for my meeting you will be a motherless child,” she warned him.He started laughing and waddled towards her. She held out her hand for him to grab her hand and she said, “I don’t understand why you are so afraid of walking, you could have been walking years ago but nooo, you choose now only.”She picked him up and stripped him out of his clothes and said, “You are going to bath now and then I am going to dress you up in a suit and we’ll get your sister and head to the office.&
Zhi Rou sighed and stared at the wall her son was drawing on. She was rubbing her chin assessing his drawing. Yuan Rui walked over to her and sat down on the floor beside her. He handed her a plate of sandwiches and asked, “So, is he a genius in the making?” Zhi Rou shook her head while she bit down on the chicken sandwich, “No, I just think he is messing with us and that shit isn’t going to wash off.” “We’ll have to paint over it before we move out,” he said to her. She raised a brow asking, “But we just moved into this place,” referring to the estate the Zhao’s owned. He smirked and said, “I don’t actually like this place, weren’t you talking about a house with three or four bedrooms?” She rolled her eyes at him, “I am not about to pack and unpack to make things co
Yuan Rui saw Jiang Hui Yin walking out of the prison doors and climbed out of the car. She looked at him, surprised when she saw him. She was just released from prison with no information and seeing him in front of her, everything made sense.She smirked inwardly, thinking, ‘You are such a fool.’ She smiled at him as she stopped in front of him. Looking into his eyes she said, “I knew you would come for us.”He stared at her momentarily, then looked down at the baby boy in her arms. He took the child from her, confusing her. She also wanted to protest, but then thought that it would be best not to make him angry.He looked at her and saw that she had an uncomfortable expression on her face and said, “I only dropped the charges because you can’t raise this child in prison.” He walked back to the car, climbing in at the back and closed the door.She thought he was going to leave her behind and
