er life would be forever changed from now on.Aunt Liu was both happy and reluctant to hear that the Li family wanted to adopt Yan Luoxi. She wasn't unwilling to keep Yan Luoxi; it's just that she didn...Chapter 88 Co-habiting in the Mansion
When Shao Junhe came out of the bathroom after changing his clothes, he sneezed twice in a row. Yan Luoxi glanced at him and saw that he was holding those red apples to wash them. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Aren't you about to catch a cold Don't hurry to wash fruits; why don’t you take some medicine first"
"Ah! Alright!" Shao Junhe didn’t expect Yan Luoxi to care about him and was pleasantly surprised by it, nodding his head repeatedly. After that, he obediently searched for cold medicines.
Yan Luoxi was now pregnant and had to stay away from drugs; there wouldn't be any cold medicine in her ward. Shao Junhe made a call to the nursing station, and soon two petite nurses hurried over to deliver the medicine to him.
The two small nurses were typical 'lady versions', tall with well-proportioned figures, big eyes blinking, fair skin; when one of them smiled at Shao Junhe, she revealed two dimples on her cheeks.
Lying in bed, Yan Luoxi watched all this and only laughed without saying a word. How did the hospital recruit its nurses One prettier than another, truly rare sights.
Shao Junhe wasn’t good at dealing with Yan Luoxi but was quite skillful when it came to these two petite nurses; he managed to send them off cheerfully after a few words. Seeing Yan Luoxi staring at him with her eyes wide open, he couldn’t help but awkwardly smile, “……They… they…”
"They all like you very much!" Yan Luoxi teasingly winked at Shao Junhe.
Shao Junhe’s handsome face turned red from being teased by Yan Luoxi. "How could that be They’re just a little more enthusiastic towards us."
"This isn't about us, it's about you. Even when she occasionally shows affection for me, it’s because of the 'love me love my dog' syndrome." Yan Luoxi winked at Shao Junhe with a sly expression, "Brother, I think these young girls are really great—innocent and pretty, much better than those frivolous women you know. Why don’t you show some mercy and take one of them home"
"What nonsense are you talking" Shao Junhe’s face turned dark, "When did I ever have such frivolous women"
"Alright then, if you say so, I apologize for misunderstanding you." Today, Yan Luoxi was in a good mood and continued to banter with Shao Junhe, "I’m being serious here. These young nurses are really excellent—well-educated, well-mannered, pretty, and innocent. If you choose one of them as your wife, Aunt Xiaoshuang would be very pleased."
Shao Junhe’s handsome face contorted in displeasure; after a long while, he regained his composure and spoke indifferently, "Luoxi, don’t worry about me. I know the kind of girl I like."
Yan Luoxi snorted from her nose but did not continue to talk with Shao Junhe.
Shao Junhe washed and peeled the apple carefully before cutting it into small pieces and skewering them to place in front of Yan Luoxi.
Even though she had previously said she wouldn’t eat, upon smelling the fragrant aroma, Yan Luoxi couldn’t resist eating.
She hadn't been feeling very hungry these days, but thinking about her child inside, she tried to eat more.
This child was truly unfortunate—first abandoned by his father and then forgotten in his mother’s womb. His mother had taken a lot of medication; who knew what terrible effects this could have on him!
In fact, whether viewed from a subjective perspective or analyzed objectively, this child should not have been kept.
The arrival of the child was neither timely nor expected, leaving Yan Luoxi at a loss.
However, when it came to terminating the pregnancy, Yan Luoxi just couldn't muster up the resolve.
If she were to give birth to a child connected by blood with her, she would no longer fear loneliness or abandonment. She could hold onto a cute little creature wrapped in white and hear its sweet voice calling her 'mom.'
When she cried, he would reach out to wipe away her tears; when she was tired, she could rest against his small shoulder. How alluring and desirable this tiny living being is!
Yan Luoxi was soft-hearted and loved children, so even if the child in her womb might have some defects, she harbored a full heart of affection for it.
Since she had temporarily decided to keep him, Yan Luoxi wanted to treat him well. Perhaps one day he would leave her, but she wished to cherish every moment they shared together, breathing the same air and facing life's vicissitudes side by side.
Shao Junhe saw Yan Luoxi eating the apples he picked for her and was filled with joy. He sat beside her bed, carefully attending to her needs, ready to hand over an apple, tissue paper, or juice whenever she needed them.
"Was picking fruit in the orchard fun" Yan Luoxi asked casually as she ate an apple.
"Fun." Shao Junhe nodded eagerly, "The orchard there is so vast, and the air quality is excellent. Walking around picking apples gives me a nostalgic feeling from my childhood outings."
"Is that so You were having too much fun to notice the rain coming!" Yan Luoxi chuckled.
"It's not like that." Shao Junhe, teased by Yan Luoxi, blushed again. He didn't know what was wrong with him; he could handle himself gracefully in front of any woman or among his many employees at work, but when it came to being around Yan Luoxi, his heart raced and he felt awkward.
"I saw the apples inside were so red and appealing that I didn't realize how far I had walked. By the time I noticed the darkening sky, it was already too late to rush out."
Yan Luoxi found Shao Junhe's embarrassment amusing; she looked closely at his face—his features were clear-cut, with a high forehead and straight nose, no wonder those young nurses were infatuated. He really is quite handsome!
After Shao Junhe finished speaking and noticed Yan Luoxi wasn't reacting for a long time, he suddenly looked up at her. Yan Luoxi quickly turned her head to pretend she was arranging the apples on the plate, "When the weather gets better, will you take me there to pick apples"
"Take you there" Shao Junhe paused before recalling something and said joyfully: "Luoxi, when I came back from the orchard earlier, I passed by a vacation villa area. It’s in an excellent location—surrounded by mountains with fruit groves on half of it where we can pick fruits to play around, and also faces the sea; it only takes less than ten minutes to drive there to enjoy the ocean view.
Luoxi, the doctor said your recent health condition isn’t suitable for long car rides or hospital environments which aren't good for the baby. Why don’t I find a vacation house there and we could stay there for some time"
In these few days in the hospital, Yan Luoxi had been bored and uninterested; now hearing about this place from Shao Junhe, she felt tempted. However, considering how inconvenient it would be for a single man and woman to go out and rent a villa together, she replied: "I won't stay there. I'll just spend a few more days in the hospital before finding somewhere else outside."and her maternal love overflowing, they expressed deep regret for having such unremarkable men in their family, which must have been frustrating for her!With guests at home, Ci Xiaobei was even more e...
