Chapter 629: Side story 042 Besides Xin Zaozao, I won’t like any other woman (First update)
In the hospital ward.
Wan Quan stared coldly at Mu Cidian.
She said icily, “Mu Cidian, there are so many women in this world, why do you have to disgracefully love Xin Zaozao. Why it must be her! Why anyone but Xin Zaozao! I even think that Lei Qian behind you is a hundred times better than Xin Zaozao!”
Lei Qian was standing at the door when Wan Quan mentioned her, becoming a bit nervous.
Mu Cidian replied indifferently, “I don’t want to discuss my relationship with Xin Zaozao with you anymore. The doctor said that you have to undergo another operation, so it’s best to conserve your energy and recover.”
“So, everything I say is pointless?”
“Yes.” Mu Cidian replied affirmative.
“Get out!” Wan Quan screamed.
Mu Cidian glanced at Wan Quan, turned around, and left.
Watching her son’s retreating figure, Wan Quan was livid to the point of murderousness.
She absolutely wouldn’t allow Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao to be together, absolutely not!
Mu Cidian left the ward.
Lei Qian quickly followed him, calling out to him, “Mu Cidian.”
Mu Cidian paused for a moment.
Lei Qian asked, “You’re leaving just like that, what about your mother?”
“She can take care of herself.” Mu Cidian remained unmoved.
“But, she has cancer...” Lei Qian said reluctantly.
Growing up, she had been fiercely protected by her parents, she was always dependent on them, and always felt that her parents were the closest people in the world. How could she just abandon her sick mother in the hospital?
Although Wan Quan was indeed difficult to get along with, could he really just disregard her?
Mu Cidian hesitated momentarily.
He said, “I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for her.”
A smile appeared at the corners of Lei Qian’s mouth.
She knew that Mu Cidian would never abandon his mother, he was a dutiful son, no matter how cold he appeared to be on the surface.
Mu Cidian went to the supermarket next to the hospital to buy some supplies.
Lei Qian followed him all the way, helping him select daily necessities, especially some feminine products.
They bought two big bags of goods and walked to the ward.
In the ward, Wan Quan was probably tired from arguing. After the operation she was already weak, she was now asleep.
Mu Cidian unpacked the goods they had bought and placed them in the ward.
Lei Qian helped him.
Once they were done.
Mu Cidian sat on the sofa nearby.
Lei Qian also sat on the sofa.
Mu Cidian looked at Lei Qian, “You can go now, thanks for today.”
“No problem, anyway, I have nothing to do.” Lei Qian hastily replied.
“Don’t you have to go to work?”
“I took a leave today.”
“You should go now. There’s nothing to do here anymore.”
“Do you think I’m being annoying by sticking around here?” Lei Qian said, a bit upset.
Mu Cidian looked at her and shook his head, “No, I just didn’t want to waste your time.”
“Mu Cidian is handsome and capable, isn’t it normal to like him? What are you shy about?” Wan Quan wasn’t particularly fond of Lei Qian’s overly subdued demeanor.
Lei Qian said in a small voice, “Mu Cidian doesn’t like me, he likes Xin Zaozao...”
“Just because he likes her doesn’t mean I do.” Wan Quan said through gritted teeth, “As long as I’m alive, I won’t let him be with Xin Zaozao.”
“But Auntie, I think it’s not right for you to play the match-breaker...”
“Are you silly or not! You like Mu Cidian, but Mu Cidian likes another woman now, are you okay with that?”
“As long as he is happy.”
“Bullshit.” Wan Quan cursed, “If I were you, I would fight to get him back.”
“Auntie Wan, how could we do such a thing? Forced love is never happy.”
“You’ve never forced it, how do you know it’s not happy.” Wan Quan was speechless, “Lei Qian, although your family situation is not good, and your looks, figure, job, and so on are all very average, compared with Xin Zaozao, I would rather have Mu Cidian be with you.”
“Mu Cidian doesn’t like me...”
“Just tell me, do you want to be with Mu Cidian?” Wan Quan asked.
Lei Qian lowered her head shyly.
“As long as you’re willing, listen to me. I guarantee that you can be with Mu Cidian.”
“But Auntie, I don’t want to force Mu Cidian, he likes Xin Zaozao...”
“If I say it’s okay, it’s okay!” Wan Quan became a little agitated, “Starting today, you come to the hospital to accompany me every day.”
“Ah...”
“Is that not okay?” asked Wan Quan.
“I’m working, I just took today off.”
“Then take a longer leave.” Wan Quan was assertive.
“But...”
“Lei Qian, if you want to be with my son, you have to sacrifice something. If you can’t even give up your job now, how do you expect to be with my son?”
“But Auntie, I think you may have some misunderstanding. Mu Cidian won’t be with anyone other than Xin Zaozao.”
“Enough with you. Just listen to me.” Wan Quan was visibly upset.
Lei Qian held back and said no more.
After finishing an apple, Wan Quan said to Lei Qian, “I’d like a banana.”
Lei Qian quickly went to get a banana.
Not much later.
Mu Cidian returned to the ward.
Upon returning, he saw Wan Quan constantly instructing Lei Qian.
He said, “Mom, I have found two caregivers for you. If you need anything, you can ask them. Lei Qian.”
Mu Cidian called for her.
Lei Qian quickly came over, “Let me take you home.”
“But Auntie...”
“Go ahead.” Wan Quan nodded, “Just come earlier tomorrow.”
Mu Cidian glanced at Wan Quan.
Wan Quan said coldly, “I didn’t ask you to come, what are you looking at me for!”
Mu Cidian didn’t respond and led Lei Qian out of the ward.
He said, “You don’t need to come again, I will be here often, and there will be caregivers around 24 hours a day.”
“It’s fine, I do it voluntarily.” Lei Qian murmured.
Mu Cidian knitted his eyebrows.
Lei Qian smiled, “Your relationship with your mother is not good, so just come less to avoid constant arguing. I have nothing to do during this period of time, I will take care of her, if anything happens, I can call you.”
