Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei had been dating for nearly two years. During these two years, their relationship had been very stable.
Last year, Li Xu had also saved up money to buy a house for Ji Zixuan.
Moreover, although the two of them continued to study as graduate students,
they were not young anymore.
Li Xu thought about it and arranged for both parents to meet to discuss the engagement.
It would be best if they got engaged this year and got married next year.
After getting married, if the two of them were willing to have a child. She and Zhang Kun can take care of them since they were still young.
It was more than enough to wait for one or two years.
If the two of them were unwilling to have children, then she and Zhang Kun would be free for another two years.
Li Xu thought about the matter and lay on the bed, happily fantasizing about the future.
âItâs great if theyâre willing to give birth to a child. Theyâll get married next year, and the child will be born the year after. Weâre not even fifty yet, and we already have grandchildren.â
As she spoke, Li Xu said regretfully, âYouâre still young in your forties. Some people can still give birth in their forties!â
She subconsciously touched her belly.
Ever since her daughter went to university, she had also thought of giving
birth to Zhang Kunâs child.
Although Zhang Kun was not very willing to do it, he refused to do it no matter what.
However, Li Xu also played many tricks behind his back.
She heard that vasectomy surgery wasnât a hundred percent secure. Some people still got pregnant after vasectomy.
However, it was obvious that she was not as lucky as the others.
As time passed, she gradually stopped thinking about this matter.
In the past, the children were still young, so it was fine for her to give birth to another one.
But now Zixuan was almost twenty-four. If she gave birth to another one, it would be a joke.
Although she had given up, she still felt a little uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
She was immersed in her own emotions and did not notice Zhang Kunâs ugly expression.
Until Zhang Kun got up and slowly moved to the living room.
Only then did Li Xu notice that Zhang Kunâs face was somewhat pale, âWhatâs wrong?â
Zhang Kun held onto the wall and slowly walked out, âMaybe I ate too much at night, so my stomach is a little bloated. Iâll go out and find a digestive tablet to eat.â
When Li Xu heard this, she quickly got off the bed, âLie down. Iâll go and find it
for you.â
Zhang Kun stood at the door, panting, but he did not refute.
Not only was he bloated, but his legs were also hurting.
Therefore, he obediently returned to bed.
While Li Xu went out to look for the medicine, he lifted the pants of his pajamas.
He had probably been a little tired recently. He had walked too much and his calves were a little swollen.
âWhat happened to your leg?â Li Xu came back very quickly. Zhang Kun didnât have time to put on his pants, so she saw him.
Zhang Kun quickly rolled up his pants, âItâs nothing. 1 walked a lot and it hurts
a little. Iâll massage it myself.â
Li Xu took the medicine and placed it in Zhang Kunâs hand. Then, she handed the cup to him, âDrink it first. Iâll give you a massage.â
Zhang Kun raised his head and swallowed the digestive tablet.
He placed the cup on the bedside table and said, âNo need. Iâll be fine after a nightâs rest.â
However, Li Xu gives him no chance to speak. She pressed down on his leg and lifted his pants, âIâll apply some essential oil on you before massaging you. Itâll make you feel better.â
Just as she was about to get the essential oil, she was surprised to find that Zhang Kunâs leg was a little swollen.
âWhat happened to your leg? Is it swollen?â She stretched out her fingers and massage it.
Zhang Kun sighed in a low voice, âI should have stood too much in the shop these few days. Itâs fine.â
Li Xu said in a low voice, âThen you can rest at home from tomorrow onwards. You donât have to go to the shop for now. Have a good rest for two days.â
âItâs fine. At most, Iâll just go to the shop and sit.â Zhang Kun said.
Li Xu thought about it and still felt a little worried, âNo, I wonât go out tomorrow. Iâll take you to the hospital. Why do I feel something is wrong with your current state? Is there something wrong with your body?â âWhat problem could there be?â Zhang Kun laughed. âItâs just that Iâve been too tired recently. Youâre always worrying for nothing.â
âNo, we still have to go and take a look. I can only be at ease after seeing the doctor.â Li Xuâs tone was firm.
Knowing that Li Xu would not let go of her decision, Zhang Kun could only compromise, âThen letâs wait until we meet Weiweiâs parents. Her family is a scholarly family, and several generations of her family have studied mathematics. We have to prepare well and not lose face for Zixuan.â
Hearing this, Li Xu hesitated for a moment before nodding, âAlright, letâs wait until we meet the in-laws.â
Although Li Xu and Zhang Kun werenât very educated, they both admired people who were educated.
Although their family could barely be considered rich now, they felt that they were too far from Huang Weiweiâs family.
However, Huang Weiweiâs family was also very satisfied with Ji Zixuan.
After all, he had a relationship with Professor Geng, and Ji Zixuanâs performance in school was obvious.
The two families quickly set a time and place to meet.
Other than the hasty meeting at the airport at the beginning of last year, this was the first time the two families met.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun had prepared quite a few gifts for their first meeting.
They were very sincere.
Both parties were very satisfied with each other, so when they met, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
âin that case, letâs go find someone to calculate the date and pick an auspicious day for the two children to get married.â Li Xu said with a smile,
Mother Huang nodded, âAlright, you can choose the date. If you need our cooperation, just let us know.â
âNo problem. I like Weiwei very much. Donât worry, Iâll definitely treat her like my own daughter in the future.â Li Xu said.
Although it was just words, it was also Li Xuâs true words.
Seeing that Zhang Kun did not say anything, she turned her head, âRight, the childâs father?â
When he turned his head, he realized that something was wrong with Zhang Kunâs condition.
His face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. His right hand was covering his abdomen.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Li Xu was shocked and asked in a low voice.
With Li Xuâs reminder, Ji Yuanyuan also noticed something was wrong with Zhang Kun.
She immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Zhang Kun. She reached out and touched his forehead.
âDad, whatâs wrong?â
Zhang Kun shook his head, âMaybe I ate something bad. Iâll go out for a while. You guys continue chatting.â
He was sweating profusely. Clearly, it was not as simple as having a stomach ache.
âWhere does it hurt?â Ji Yuanyuan asked again seriously.
Zhang Kun frowned and pointed at his upper right abdomen.
Ji Yuanyuanâs expression turned cold as she immediately looked at Ji Zixuan, âBig Brother, go get the car. Weâre going to the hospital now.â
Seeing this, Zhang Kun quickly held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand, âIâm fine. Donât cause trouble. Go and sit down.â
Today was the first meeting between the two families. He did not want to ruin this meeting because of him.
âIn-law, weâll have plenty of time to talk when the two children are engaged, said Father Huang hurriedly. âSince he was not feeling well, he should hurry to the hospital to have a look so the children would not worry.â
âNothing is more important than your health,â Mama Huang advised. âLetâs just listen to the child. Everyone will be at ease..â
