Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Fortunately, I Didn’t Miss Her

Once inside the room, Qin Jian lit the candle.

An Hao directed him to boil water for tea, and she washed a few apples Qin Jian had brought from home. Picking up the fruit knife she had previously placed on top, she began to peel them.

Her movements were swift, and the apple in her hands kept spinning until, in less than a minute, it was peeled.

Without even breaking the skin.

”Your skills are quite good,” Zhang Lanxiang commented with a laugh upon seeing this.

”Sister-in-law, I now wield a scalpel. Things that can be done with a knife are generally no challenge for me,” she said as she passed the peeled apple to Zhang Lanxiang.

Zhang Lanxiang took a bite and her gaze fell on An Hao’s belly, ”How many months is it?”

”A little over two months,” An Hao smiled sweetly while caressing her still flat abdomen.

”Hmm. Having a baby is hard work for a woman, you must take care of yourself. I live in this compound, and after you move here, if you have any difficulties, just tell me and I’ll help you,” Zhang Lanxiang felt indebted to Qin Jian for saving her son’s life and was happy to get along with An Hao, so she was particularly willing to take care of An Hao.

”That would be wonderful. With sister-in-law’s help, I can save a lot of worries and avoid many detours,” An Hao said with a smile.

The two were talking when Qin Jian came over with the water, poured a cup, and handed it to Zhang Lanxiang.

”Sister-in-law, it’s easy to talk about these things here in the compound. In the future, we’ll still need to trouble you with An Hao.”

”Sure, sure,” Zhang Lanxiang agreed, patting her chest, ”You’ve really changed a lot in the past two years. Now you even know how to sweet-talk me for the sake of your wife.”

”Wasn’t I like this before?” Qin Jian said as he poured a cup for his wife and handed it to her.

”You before? Humph! You really caused me a lot of worries and made me angry. That time I introduced a match to you and you didn’t show up, standing the girl up. Or you would just be dissatisfied and ignore the girl,” Zhang Lanxiang reminisced with exasperation.

”That was because I hadn’t met the right person,” Qin Jian said, looking at An Hao with affectionate eyes, ”It’s lucky I didn’t fall for anyone else back then. Otherwise, I would have regretted missing her for the rest of my life.”

”My, my, is this really Qin Jian? You’re making my teeth fall out with sweetness. Have you swapped souls with someone else?” Zhang Lanxiang clicked her tongue.

After talking for a while, since it was getting late, they decided to leave.

Qin Jian escorted her downstairs and then went back home.

Once he closed the door, he walked up to An Hao, scooped her up in his arms, and held her close, ”Were you bullied again? Is our baby okay?”

”Hmm. They are fine,” An Hao said, her voice muffled against his chest, ”I was indeed bullied, but I didn’t suffer any losses. However, Ruan Fangfang’s intentions are truly malicious. She passes by every day, loitering around the same place as me. With such a dangerous person around, I can’t feel at ease.”

”Don’t worry. She won’t be able to hang around you much longer,” Qin Jian said, squinting his eyes, determined that he couldn’t let the injustices against his little wife go unaddressed—it was his duty as a husband!

”What do you mean by that?” An Hao asked.

”You’ll know when the time comes. It’s getting late, let’s wash up and rest,” Qin Jian said, and then carried her toward the bathroom.

”Hey, put me down, I’m not a child,” An Hao protested.

”But I like to dote on you as if you were a child.”

The next day, Qin Jian took An Hao straight to the hospital. After watching her enter General Surgery, he didn’t leave but headed upstairs instead.
