Chapter 173 Discharge
Chapter 173 Discharge
Xu Huaian placed Shi Qingqian's hand on his cheek and said, "Qianqian, promise me that for me and our child, you must protect yourself well."
Shi Qingqian's repeated assurances finally gave Xu Huaian some relief.
"By the way, I have something else to discuss with you," Shi Qingqian said.
"What's the matter?" Xu Huaian handed the peeled apple to her mouth.
Shi Qingqian took a bite and said, "I want to adopt a child."
"Adopt a child?" Xu Huaian was puzzled. "Why should we adopt a child? We have children too, so there's no need to adopt one."
Shi Qingqian pursed her lips slightly and told him Xiaodouzi's identity truthfully.
When Xu Huaian learned that Xiaodouzi was actually the son of Shi Qingqian's cousin, there was no way he could say no.
"Since the child originally lived with his mother, we should send a message to her. The adoption can only be done with her consent."
When talking about that cousin's wife, Shi Qingqian showed an expression that was hard to describe.
According to Xiaodouzi, as soon as Tang Jincheng was demoted, Jiang Ya remarried with the money left to her by the Tang family.
Remarrying is natural, but after Jiang Ya remarried, not only did she not take Xiaodouzi with her, but even the Jiang family didn't care about him much.
Before Tang Jincheng was sent down, he gave all the money he could save to Jiang Ya so that she would have money to take good care of Xiaodouzi.
It’s heartbreaking to think about a child who is less than five years old, whose father was sent down to the countryside and whose mother remarried, and who has no one to take care of him.
If it weren't for this, Shi Qingqian wouldn't have thought of adopting him.
Xu Huaian knew the relationship between her and the Tang family, and his eyes showed pity for Xiaodouzi.
"Don't worry, wife, leave this matter to me. Xiaodouzi should be at the police station right now. I'll call Chen Chen to take care of him, and then we'll take him back with us."
After listening to Xu Huaian's words, Shi Qingqian looked at him gratefully, "Huaian, thank you. I feel at ease with you around."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one. Your family is naturally my family. Why should I thank you for taking care of my own family?"
A gentle blush appeared on Shi Qingqian's face. She gently pulled the corner of Xu Huaian's clothes, with a hint of shyness and expectation in her eyes.
Xu Huaian was slightly stunned, then immediately leaned closer to her.
Shi Qingqian stretched out her arms and hugged Xu Huaian's neck, and her warm breath gently brushed against his ears.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and in that sweet and loving voice, she called out softly, "Husband."
This call, like a spring breeze, gently brushed across Xu Huaian's heart, making his heart instantly become extremely soft. His eyes were full of pampering and affection. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked Shi Qingqian's cheek.
"Wife, my heart melts when you call me husband," Xu Huaian's voice was low and gentle, full of endless love.
Shi Qingqian lowered her eyes slightly, and the smile on her lips became even sweeter: "Then I will often call you that from now on."
Xu Huaian hugged Shi Qingqian tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his life, "Call a few more times."
Shi Qingqian raised her head, her eyes sparkling with brilliant light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. She smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness, and said softly, "Husband, husband, husband..."
Xu Huaian was full of joy, with a happy smile on his face.
……
Shi Qingqian felt extremely uncomfortable during the days she was confined to the hospital bed.
She felt that her body had almost recovered, but Xu Huaian still refused to let her be discharged from the hospital.
Every day she tried every possible way to act coquettishly and make trouble, trying to persuade Xu Huaian.
"Huaian, you see I'm almost well, just let me be discharged from the hospital. It's so boring lying here," Shi Qingqian took Xu Huaian's hand and shook it gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
Xu Huaian remained unmoved, and said gently but firmly: "No, the doctor said you need to be observed for a while longer. You can only leave after the doctor confirms that you can be discharged."
Shi Qingqian pouted, looking unhappy. "But I really feel like I'm fine now. If I lie down any longer, I'll turn into a fossil."
She tried to sit up and show her energy, but Xu Huaian immediately pushed her back onto the bed.
"Be obedient, daughter-in-law. For the health of you and your child, be patient."
Shi Qingqian sighed helplessly and could only continue lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling bored.
As the days passed, her patience wore thin.
Finally, the doctor came to examine her.
Shi Qingqian looked at the doctor nervously, her heart full of anticipation.
After a careful examination, the doctor smiled and said to her, "Your body has recovered well, and the fetus is much more stable. You can be discharged tomorrow after you pack up. However, you still need to be careful after discharge. If you feel any discomfort, it is best to come to the hospital."
When Shi Qingqian heard this, she almost jumped for joy. She looked at Xu Huaian excitedly, with joy shining in her eyes.
"Did you hear that? I can be discharged from the hospital!"
Xu Huaian also showed a relieved smile, "Then why are you being discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"
Shi Qingqian couldn't wait to start packing her things, as if she didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer. She was finally free from this hospital bed and felt like a bird that had regained its freedom.
The next day, sunlight shone into the ward through the window, and Shi Qingqian woke up early.
Xu Huaian packed up his things in an orderly manner, and after completing the discharge procedures, they left the hospital.
I arrived at the guesthouse, checked into a tidy room, and put my things in place.
Shi Qingqian didn't want to delay for a moment. She held Xu Huaian's hand tightly, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
"Huaian, let's go to the department store and buy some new clothes for Xiaodouzi."
Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian's anxious expression and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
They came to the department store.
Xingchuan City is a big city, and the things in the department store are incomparable to those in department stores.
The dazzling array of goods inside is dazzling.
Shi Qingqian pulled Xu Huaian straight to the ready-to-wear clothing area.
