Chapter 1350 - 894: Worries
Second update.
-------------------
"Listening to what you said earlier made me feel heartbroken, but the latter part moved me deeply. I think this is the best compliment for me..." Chuxia happily smiled at Zhou Mikang, "So, you must remember, the babies and I are your lifelong responsibility. No matter when, you cannot abandon this responsibility, otherwise, you are the most despised coward!"
"Of course!" Zhou Mikang nodded affirmatively. "I will absolutely do this, Chuxia. You must fully trust me. I will definitely keep my promises to you.
For things I’m powerless to handle, or uncertain matters, I absolutely won’t agree to them lightly. Even if it makes you unhappy, I won’t agree just to make you happy."
Chuxia gave him a silent eye roll: "Are you reminding me that it was right for you not to agree to me earlier?"
"If you insist on thinking that way, fine. Anyway, you know everything I do is to ensure you can live happily..." Zhou Mikang pointed to the small cup on the table, "Could you get me some water?"
Chuxia blushed. She actually forgot that he was still a serious patient.
After being in a coma for days, talking now made Zhou Mikang visibly weak. He originally wanted to take a few steps outside, but that was impossible.
Chuxia also noticed the fatigue in Division Commander’s gaze. Once he finished drinking the water, she helped him lie down gently. Before she could speak, Division Commander spoke first: "Go home now. Rest up and come back later."
"Okay." Chuxia agreed readily, then couldn’t help but add, "See, I’m very reasonable and won’t insist on staying here. Do you now feel that you wrongly accused me earlier?"
"No." Zhou Mikang smiled at her. "You admitted yourself that you were feeling guilty, so how could I have wrongly accused you? Alright, stop overthinking. Go home and get a good night’s sleep, and come to see me energetic tomorrow."
"Okay." She gently kissed his forehead, waved at him, and left the ward.
Zhou Jingping, who was sitting in a chair by the door in a daze, turned his head at the sound and, seeing his younger daughter-in-law, had a faint smile on his face: "Let’s go. I’ll walk you out. Wang Zhongliang is waiting for you outside."
She wasn’t that delicate! Chuxia quickly refused. "Dad, no need. You should go back to the room and keep Zhou Mikang company. It’s just a short distance, I can manage on my own."
Seeing that his younger daughter-in-law was still a bit embarrassed about the previous incident, Zhou Jingping didn’t press her, giving her some advice before turning back into the ward.
"Did she leave?"
"Yes, she left." Zhou Jingping sat down by his son’s bed and sighed, "You just coddle her like that, go along with her. One day, you’ll regret it."
"I won’t." Zhou Mikang looked earnestly at his father. "Chuxia is not the kind to be spoiled and arrogant."
"I’m not saying she’s spoiled and arrogant. I just think she’s too naive. Of course, in some respects, she’s very mature. But living in a family like ours, being too kind isn’t always a complete advantage."
"But it’s still better than being unkind. Besides, I have the ability to protect her. Why should I want her to change to be like others? Ye Meiru is not kind. Dad, do you think such a person is better?"
"I didn’t bring her up, so why are you mentioning her?" Zhou Jingping smiled helplessly. "You can’t bear a word of criticism about Chuxia from anyone.
Anyway, I didn’t agree with her helping Elder Wan this time. Just now, I heard what you both talked about. At first, you could still hold your own, but then you completely went along with her.
The way you are, you could end up harming her. Next time when something similar happens, will she continue to help? If the other person is as understanding as Elder Wan, that’s fine. But if the person is ignorant, won’t they put all the blame on her?
She’s still of this age. Even though she’s married and about to become a mother, her experience is limited. No matter how smart she is, she can’t possibly not care at all about others’ opinions.
If she had the strong heart like you do, I wouldn’t say a word against her actions. But the fact is, she’s just an ordinary girl."
"Is she ordinary?" Zhou Mikang looked seriously at his father. "Dad, do you think an ordinary girl could achieve what she has now?
Let’s set aside other things. Elder Qi is someone with a very high standard. Many have tried before, but who impressed him? But Chuxia, with a few words, became his disciple.
Now, because of her, Elder Qi even moved to the campus area to live. He’s even considering taking up a teaching position, and all these changes are because of Chuxia. It’s what many people wished for but couldn’t achieve.
If she was really as you think she is, do you think Elder Qi would do this? Indeed, her personality has attracted more and more people around her, which also means that she will encounter more trouble in the future.
But should we stop her from connecting with these people just because of this? Dad, don’t forget, when our family went through difficult times, it was her appearance that helped us solve our problems effortlessly."
"I just said a few words, and you’re responding with all this..." Zhou Jingping looked at his son, not knowing what else to say. Actually, he wasn’t blaming his younger daughter-in-law; he was just worried for her.
The hope of his son to protect his younger daughter-in-law at all times is beautiful, but in reality, is it possible?
After he recovers and gets discharged from the hospital, who knows how long he can stay by her side.
Even if he waits for the babies to be born, what about after?
A person’s life is too long, and no one dares to say what their future will be like. Such confident vows are not advisable...
"Dad, I know what you’re worried about. Did you forget what Grandpa Wan told you?" Zhou Mikang gently pushed his father. "You agreed with it then, so why are you getting so caught up now?
And you should also trust Chuxia. She is constantly improving, and in the future, she will handle things more skillfully. Besides, you should trust her judgment. Look at the friends she has made; which one of them is not trustworthy and doesn’t value emotions?"
"Alright, I can’t argue with you..." Zhou Jingping sighed. "Maybe I am really getting old. Even though I agreed with Uncle Wan at the time, upon thinking back, I can’t help but worry.
She is your wife. Since both of you believe that this is the right thing to do, I won’t meddle. You, getting well and spending more time with her is what matters!" (To be continued....
