“I just thought living at my place would be more convenient for you. When you start working, it’s also very close to Jinan District, less than a ten-minute drive. And the surrounding transportation is also very convenient. Even if you don’t drive to commute, it only takes less than half an hour.” He had seriously considered all of this. Li Zhenguan truly wanted to live a normal life with Wang Zhao like ordinary people.
Hearing this, Wang Zhao couldn’t help but be moved. She was silent for a moment, then patted Li Zhenguan’s head: “I’ll still live at home. If I go live at your place, my mom and dad might not be too happy.”
Wang Xuechun was a person who cared about face. She wasn’t stingy, but in her view, money came second to reputation.
Wang Zhao was already a grown woman, and living in a villa under her husband’s name would make Wang Xuechun feel like her daughter was a live-in son-in-law. She would definitely feel uncomfortable. Their whole family didn’t like to take advantage of others, especially the Li family. Otherwise, Wang Xuechun wouldn’t have taken out all her savings, giving part of it to Wang Zhao and probably a large part to Li Zhenguan.
“If you don’t want to be separated from me, we can live at my place for now, and move out next year. If you’re not comfortable living here, you can also go to the villa. Just let me know then, and I’ll explain it clearly to my mom and the others.”
Wang Zhao actually still maintained some doubts about their marital relationship, but she would try her best to do everything well, to avoid letting Li Zhenguan suffer if possible.
Moreover, her gaze moved down to Li Zhenguan’s abdomen, her fingers unconsciously pinching slightly. She actually had some doubts, wondering if everything before her was just a dream she was having, or perhaps, this child might actually be hers, not “hers”, but hers.
This possibility of speculation took deeper root in Wang Zhao’s mind as time passed, and everything seemed to follow a certain trajectory.
Even in the past half month, Wang Zhao had read many articles online and consulted some neurology and brain specialists, but they didn’t give clear answers. They only told Wang Zhao to go to the hospital offline when she had time to have another look, as this required scans to see if there was still bruising in the brain or other issues causing memory problems.
However, Wang Zhao had never gone to an offline hospital for a check-up. When she was discharged previously, she had a scan done, and the doctor in charge of her looked at it and said there were no major problems, letting her complete the discharge procedures. They didn’t mention any bruising in the brain or other issues.
Moreover, Wang Zhao felt that her symptoms couldn’t be resolved by medical science alone. She thought she might need to consult a physicist to verify her speculations.
But it’s very likely that even a physicist couldn’t solve the problem.
Li Zhenguan realized that Wang Zhao wasn’t suggesting they live separately after marriage, and his emotions stabilized a bit. He somewhat regretted bringing up the previous topic, giving Wang Zhao these kinds of thoughts, almost backing himself into a corner again.
He couldn’t help but reach out and tug at Wang Zhao’s sleeve. Seeing that her gaze when she looked over contained only confusion without disgust or impatience, his eyes immediately brightened, and he directly grasped Wang Zhao’s hand.
“I won’t be uncomfortable. Our mom and dad are quite easy to get along with,” Li Zhenguan said softly.
Wang Zhao raised an eyebrow at Li Zhenguan’s form of address.
Noticing the meaning in her eyes, Li Zhenguan’s ears immediately turned red, and he touched his nose: “Ever since we got our marriage certificate last time, uncle told me to address them like this.”
At this point, he became righteous, mumbling: “Besides, you can also call my dad ‘dad’. We’re already legally married, so we should be able to legally live together.”
Wang Zhao responded with a smile, and her phone in her pocket vibrated.
She took it out and looked. It was a message from Xu Yingchun.
Xu Yingchun: [I should let you know, Chen Fangli has been discharged from the hospital.
The doctor said his stomach problems are quite serious. If he drinks alcohol on an empty stomach again, it might cause a larger amount of gastric bleeding, and he might even need surgery. When he was discharged, the doctor prescribed a big bag of medicine. He’s treating medicine like food. Just looking at it makes me feel scared.]
Below was a picture. Chen Fangli’s hand was also in the frame. It should have been taken when he was getting the medicine. The angle was extremely tricky, obviously a sneaky shot.
Wang Zhao glanced at it and was about to swipe out when Li Zhenguan’s head peeked over from the side, glancing at the screen. He also saw the picture of that bag of medicine and the long paragraph above it.
Suddenly, the three words “Chen Fangli” caught his eye faster than all the other words and images.
Li Zhenguan’s smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. However, his heart quickly began to throb.
Various thoughts immediately mixed in his mind, like many people arguing, in a mess. Inevitably, his head started to ache again. He knew it, he knew it! Wang Zhao couldn’t possibly belong to him so smoothly. There were always some bastards who liked to come out and sway, to interfere in their relationship.
No matter how unsettled he was inside, Li Zhenguan’s emotions still didn’t show. As if he hadn’t seen Chen Fangli or didn’t know this person, he curiously glanced at Wang Zhao’s screen, then withdrew his gaze and asked a question:
“Is this the old classmate who drank on an empty stomach and ended up in the hospital that you mentioned?” Li Zhenguan pointed at the screen.
“No,” Wang Zhao thought he hadn’t seen all the words clearly, casually turned off the screen, and replied offhandedly, “This is Xu Yingchun. You should know, she’s the organizer of the class reunion I told you about. Last time at the cinema, I also received her call.”
She didn’t mention the first call at the cinema, only mentioning the later one.
After saying this, she paused, but continued: “The one who drank on an empty stomach is another classmate, who just returned from England. Probably due to irregular eating habits there, his stomach was upset. This time, coming back for the class reunion, he drank without restraint and ended up in the hospital, seemingly with gastric bleeding. But it’s not too serious an issue. I went to see him briefly. He just needs to take good care of himself from now on, not drink on an empty stomach or eat spicy food, and he should be fine.”
Li Zhenguan made a sound of acknowledgment, also seeming not to care much, but after a while, he pretended to ask: “Is it a male classmate?”
Wang Zhao sensed his meaning and couldn’t help but laugh: “It’s a male classmate, what’s wrong? Are male classmates not allowed?”
Li Zhenguan shook his head, but then realizing, nodded: “Male classmates are fine. But I remember you don’t really like people who like to drink.”
“So, you definitely won’t like this male classmate.” Li Zhenguan pretended to shake Wang Zhao’s hand, his bright eyes looking at Wang Zhao, his voice cool with a sense of certainty, and a bit of gritted teeth.
“So I’m very reassured, and besides, I’m so handsome and obedient to you, why wouldn’t you like me and like someone else? Moreover, we’re already legally married. If he dares to steal you, he’d be the third wheel, the intruder, he’d be condemned by society. Even if each person only spits once, he’d drown in saliva.”
Even if society didn’t condemn him, Li Zhenguan had a hundred ways to ruin that man’s reputation.
Wang Zhao heard the gritted teeth in Li Zhenguan’s tone and actually found it somewhat cute. She couldn’t help but smile, and her hand, which was being held by Li Zhenguan, turned over to press on his hand, saying: “Stop shaking, you’re making me dizzy.”
Under Wang Zhao’s amused gaze, Li Zhenguan curved his eyes and smiled, but under the mask covering his face, he pressed his lips together, the line of his mouth showing an unusual coldness and gloom.
However, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t like using those dirty methods. Too dirty, unworthy of sunlight, unworthy of the bright moon.
He wanted to be the snow, the light on the mountains. Only then would he be worthy of the bright moon, right?
