On the plane back to Night City, I felt airsick and nauseous again. Luo Xiangdong and I whispered: "Xiangdong. I always feel nauseous. Could it be that I'm pregnant?"
Luo Xiangdong asked me: "When did you leave last time?"
I said confusedly: "Last time... it was the end of the month, right? Or maybe it was the beginning of the month... I can't remember clearly."
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's okay. It's better if I'm pregnant. It's a great gift from you for my thirtieth birthday."
I frowned and said, "But I'm not ready to have a baby yet!"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I'm almost thirty."
I said: "I'm only twenty-five. I just graduated less than two years ago. My own work has just started, and I still have a lot of things to do..."
Thinking that some of my friends don't even have stable partners, I'm about to have a baby. It feels like life is aging ahead of schedule. I was very frightened.
Luo Xiangdong saw my anxious look, and he said aloud: "This is the first time I see a woman pregnant. Men are not anxious, but women are. Is twenty-five years old young? My mother is your age, and I am already five years old. "
I frowned and said, "Can it be the same? What era are we in now? I used to plan to have a child before I was thirty."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You are thirty. I am already thirty-five. Do you want me to have children in my old age?"
I was about to reply, but a wave of nausea came to my stomach, and I immediately made a retching motion. Even the eyes are red.
Luo Xiangdong saw this. He quickly took out the lollipop he bought before boarding the plane and gave it to me. She also comforted me and said, "It's okay. Maybe it's just because I've been eating vegetarian food recently and my stomach can't bear it. It's not necessarily because I'm pregnant."
I clasped my hands together and muttered, "Lord, Amen, please protect me from being pregnant." There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes now. Li Jingyan has not decided to resign from Fangda. Not long after the travel agency took over, his career is on the rise. Outsiders think that my marriage with Luo Xiangdong is a sure thing, but only we know in our hearts. If Luo Zhenye doesn't nod for a day, we won't even be able to get a marriage certificate.
I didn't dare to tell my family about this. My family always asked me when Luo Xiangdong and I would get married, so I had to keep it secret. It's not easy to say this in front of Luo Xiangdong, so every time I have to hide it from my family and avoid Luo Xiangdong. I just want to wait until Luo Xiangdong and I get along well so that the Luo family can see us. You can accept me willingly with all your efforts.
After returning to Night City, I wanted to find a chance to find out what was going on, but before I could recover, Luo Xiangdong suddenly received a call from home, saying that Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin wanted to see me, and everyone wanted to see me. Have a meal.
After he hung up the phone, I immediately sat next to him nervously, stared at his face and asked, "Why do uncle and aunt suddenly want to see me? What happened?"
Luo Xiangdong was also a little puzzled and said back to me: "Don't worry, what can they do to us?"
I said, "Well, we need to have a rough idea so we can prepare."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You don't have to worry about my mother."
The implication is that I just need to pass Luo Zhenye's test.
Because the call came suddenly, Luo Xiangdong and I had to go to the appointment the next day and bought gifts to give to Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin.
The hotel is set in a private room on the second floor of Mingyue Xuan. Luo Xiangdong and I arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time. We opened the door and found that we arrived early.
Luo Xiangdong said: "You don't have to be so nervous, just do whatever you want."
I said, "It's strange that I'm not nervous. The last time I saw my uncle was in the hospital."
I will remember those two slaps that Luo Zhenye slapped Luo Xiangdong in the face for the rest of my life. It's not because of any grudge, it's just because the person who was beaten was Luo Xiangdong, which made me feel more distressed and uncomfortable than the slap on my face.
After Luo Xiangdong sat down, he poured two cups of tea by himself and gave one cup to me. He said casually: "Actually, my dad is just stubborn. He always feels that he is right. No matter what others do, they are wrong. Just give him some time and wait for him to stop being so stubborn."
I said, "Actually, I've always wanted to have a good chat with your dad, but your dad is too scary, so I didn't even dare to talk."
Luo Xiangdong said: "That's just right. I'm here today. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell him."
I said: "It's better for two people to say something than to have a group of people want to talk to each other..."
Before I could finish what I said next, the private room door was pushed open again. Luo Xiangdong and I looked up and saw a very familiar figure standing at the door.
Since Kuang Yiyang went to Hong Kong in July, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year.
Kuang Yiyang wore a khaki mid-length windbreaker, revealing the sweater and light-colored casual trousers underneath. He didn't dress like this before, but he looked much more mature this time.
Kuang Yiyang didn't knock on the door, but his expressions were stunned when he saw Luo Xiangdong and I. He must not have expected that we would be inside.
I was stunned, but Luo Xiangdong beside me came to his senses first. He stood up and said, "Yi Yang, when did you come back?"
Kuang Yiyang held the doorknob with one hand, and his eyes moved away from my face and fell on Luo Xiangdong's face. He stepped in, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I didn't know you were here. Grandpa and grandma invited me here for dinner."
After saying that, he looked at me, nodded, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
I had already stood up and looked at the familiar handsome face. I smiled and said, "Yi Yang, when did you come back? Why didn't you notify us?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "I have a friend who is getting married. He didn't get off the plane until 11 o'clock last night. I was afraid that it would be too late and disturb you to sleep, so I didn't notify you."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Come and sit."
Kuang Yiyang chose a seat opposite us and sat down. He took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair next to him, revealing the white black-collar knitted sweater underneath. It was a new model from Volentino. Luo Xiangdong also had one.
Sure enough, Luo Xiangdong said: "I also bought a sweater like yours."
Kuang Yiyang smiled and replied: "Really? It seems that my eyes are getting closer and closer to my uncle."
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's time for you to mature and stop dressing like a student."
Kuang Yiyang said: "Uncle, I'm still studying. What do you mean by looking like a student?"
Luo Xiangdong smiled lightly and said, "I've been busy lately and haven't had time to visit you in Hong Kong. How is it there? Are you still used to it?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "It's pretty good. There are a lot of delicious food in Hong Kong. If I have nothing to do, I go shopping for food with my classmates and friends."
Luo Xiangdong and Kuang Yiyang chatted as if nothing had happened, as if I had never appeared between them.
After chatting for about three to five minutes, the waiter knocked on the door a few times and invited Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin to come in.
We all stood up, and Luo Xiangdong called out: "Dad, Mom."
Kuang Yiyang smiled and said: "Grandpa, grandma."
When Luo Zhenye saw Kuang Yiyang, he smiled all over his face. He came over and patted Kuang Yiyang's arm, looked at him from top to bottom, and then said: "Fortunately, he is not thin. He will be able to stay in Hong Kong." Are you used to it?”
Kuang Yiyang smiled and replied: "It's good. I just finished talking to my uncle and aunt."
Kuang Yiyang actually called me aunt. Although I tried my best to keep my expression, a flash of surprise flashed in my eyes.
Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin both looked at me, and I smiled and said, "Uncle, auntie."
Guan Lin smiled and replied to me: "Sit down."
Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin sat in the first place, Kuang Yiyang sat on the left, and Luo Xiangdong and I sat on the right.
At first, it was Luo Zhenye who chatted with Kuang Yiyang. Guan Lin occasionally chatted with me, but she never left me out in the cold. From time to time, she turned over to ask me how I was doing.
I took out two gift bags and said with a smile: "Auntie, the weather has been dry recently. I brought you a moisturizing spray when I came here just now. I also use this. It's quite easy to use."
Guan Lin was very happy. She took it with a smile and thanked me. I said, "Auntie, you're welcome. This is the calming incense that Xiangdong bought for my uncle. I heard that my uncle has not been sleeping well recently. This should be effective." "
Luo Zhenye was having a cold war with Luo Xiangdong. Hearing this, he said lukewarmly: "Can he be willing to buy me this thing?"
Luo Xiangdong replied calmly: "Zijin dragged me to buy it. I don't know what else to do besides taking medicine if I can't sleep."
How could Luo Zhenye not hear that Luo Xiangdong was speaking for me, but he didn't answer, but turned around and continued talking to Kuang Yiyang.
Guan Lin looked at me and said, "Zijin, thank you, I'm very considerate."
I just smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, Luo Xiangdong took the initiative and said, "It's just our family, is there anyone else?"
Luo Zhenye said: "Did you invite anyone else?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Everyone is here, let's order food."
I called the waiter in, and the waiter took some order books. I handed the order book to Guan Lin, and Guan Lin smiled and said: "We are all casual, let's see what you young people like to eat."
Luo Zhenye said to Kuang Yiyang: "Whatever Yi Yang likes to eat, order it yourself."
Kuang Yiyang said: "Both my brother-in-law and my aunt-in-law like to eat spicy food. I have been in Hong Kong for half a year now, and the taste is really strange."
Luo Zhenye said: "Just order what you like to eat. Order whatever they want to eat."
Originally, when I met Kuang Yiyang with Luo Xiangdong, I felt somewhat guilty and uneasy in my heart. In addition, Luo Zhenye showed his support for Kuang Yiyang, which made me even more uneasy.
Kuang Yiyang flipped through the order book and ordered. At first, he ordered the favorites of Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin. Later, he ordered four spicy dishes in succession. Naturally, he ordered them for me and Luo Xiangdong.
Luo Zhenye said: "Yi Yang, choose something you like to eat. Didn't you like pineapple old meat the most before? The chef here does a good job."
Kuang Yiyang responded and added this dish. When it was time to order a drink later, Kuang Yiyang looked at Luo Xiangdong and me and asked, "Uncle, aunt, what are you drinking?"
I know that Kuang Yiyang is a good man, he always has been. Even if Luo Xiangdong and I did something wrong to him, he would still be willing to forgive us.
Dare to call me that in front of Luo Zhenye, it is enough to show that he has always been on my and Luo Xiangdong's side.
only…
Some things have to be faced sooner or later.
I don’t remember this was the first time Kuang Yiyang called me aunt. Luo Zhenye on the side finally couldn’t help it and said loudly: “Yiyang, it’s too early to call me like this. They haven’t received the certificate yet.”
