Chapter 455 Finally Spoke Up

"I'll go out first, you two chat."

Xia Miao, who was being watched by Fu Tinghua while Xia Cheng'an held her hand, felt truly embarrassed, her ears almost turning red.

"Okay." After Fu Tinghua nodded, she immediately rushed out of the ward without a moment's hesitation.

Seeing this, Xia Cheng'an hurriedly said, "Xia Miao, stay outside, don't wander too far."

Looking at his domineering manner, as if he owned Xia Miao, Fu Tinghua couldn't help but frown.

Fu Tinghua didn't know how others dated, but he and Su He never interfered with where the other went, who they befriended, or what they called others.

Xia Cheng'an's behavior clearly showed excessive possessiveness.

"If you like someone, you should respect them properly," Fu Tinghua sat on the stool beside Xia Cheng'an's bed and sighed.

"How am I not respecting her?" Xia Cheng'an mumbled, but his voice grew weaker.

"Do you really think you can keep her locked by your side forever?" Fu Tinghua raised an eyebrow, looking at Xia Cheng'an with a frown.

Xia Cheng'an: ...

"What can I do? I'm just like this, and I can't change it no matter what." Xia Cheng'an lowered his head, unsure how to fix his own flaws.

When he saw Xia Miao return to being the considerate little girl she once was, Xia Cheng'an even felt relieved that he had been injured, which brought Xia Miao back to his side willingly.

But he lacked security, so he could only constantly keep Xia Miao close to feel that he truly possessed her.

Matters of the heart can only be truly understood by those involved; anything others say is just in vain.

Fu Tinghua didn’t try to persuade him further, thinking it might just be their way of getting along.

“I’ll check your wound later. It will hurt a bit,” Fu Tinghua changed the subject.

“What? Again? Every time the bandage is removed, it hurts like hell. The bandage sticks right to the wound, and when it’s pulled off, it feels like tearing flesh,” Xia Cheng’an couldn’t help but complain.

Fu Tinghua shook his head helplessly and said, “Who told you to be so foolish, chasing after someone who seemed suspicious? This time you got a big lesson. Maybe now you’ll be more careful.”

“You know my skills. Who would have thought he was that good? Besides, he had a knife. Do you know what that means? He doesn’t follow martial virtue. Otherwise, who would win or lose is anyone's guess,” Xia Cheng’an said stubbornly.

Fu Tinghua was almost amused by his attitude, “Only Xia Miao could put up with you for so many years with this personality.”

At the mention of this, Xia Cheng’an immediately wore an expression that said, “Of course.”

“Hey, I heard that the murderer has set his sights on your house. Is that true?” Xia Cheng’an asked again.

This news had already spread throughout Wen City.

After all, Liu Jianjun had come out of Fu Tinghua’s house, and many neighbors who were too scared to sleep at night had seen it. How could it not spread?

So Fu Tinghua nodded and said, “Yes, we know each other.”

“Unbelievable, how the hell could you know each other.” Xia Cheng’an said excitedly, but accidentally jolted his wound, causing him to hiss in pain.

Fu Tinghua gave him an exasperated look and said, “Be still.”

By the time he finished checking Xia Cheng’an’s wound, it was almost time to clock out.

Since the hospital was unaware that Dr. Fu would be coming to work this afternoon, no patients or surgeries were scheduled for him.

As soon as it was time to leave, Dr. Fu went home.

The dean even came to Dr. Fu's ward to remind him to report on time the next day, and Dr. Fu agreed.

Upon returning home, the house was bustling with activity, and dinner was almost ready.

Seeing Dr. Fu come in, Su He said, "Oh, Dr. Fu, you don't have to work overtime tonight?"

"No, I decided to go to work today on a whim, so the hospital didn't assign me any tasks," Dr. Fu replied, then glanced at Aunt Lan who was holding Nini and comforting her.

Noticing her son looking at her, Aunt Lan smiled at Dr. Fu and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I've moved in."

It was really hard to say those words.

Having just acknowledged each other, she had moved into her son's home so hastily, making Aunt Lan blush with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Su He quickly explained, "Aunt Lan has no family in Wencheng, and it's not safe for a woman to live alone in a rented place. I was worried, so I went with her to pack up her things and brought them over. She'll stay in Nini's room for now. It's cold these days, so Nini can sleep with us."

Seeing how well Su He had arranged everything, Dr. Fu couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, I'll follow your arrangements."

After saying this, he looked at Aunt Lan again and added, "What Su He means is what I mean. I'm also worried about you living alone outside. Stay here with peace of mind; we... we will take care of you."

Hearing her son's words, Aunt Lan felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry.

"I... I didn't come to you to be taken care of," she stammered.

Dr. Fu sighed, looking at her, and said, "I know. What I mean is, I am willing to take care of you. Mom, you've suffered enough in the past."

The sudden call of "Mom" left Aunt Lan stunned, too shocked to respond.

Zaizai and Niuniu, hearing Fu Tinghua’s address, also looked up at their father.

Su He smiled at the two, noticing Aunt Lan’s dazed state, and quickly said, “Mom, it’s time for dinner.”

Only then did Aunt Lan react, hurriedly saying, “Oh, I, I, eat, Tinghua, let’s eat.”

Seeing her like this, Fu Tinghua didn’t dare to provoke her further, fearing she might start crying again.

Let it be; on such a peaceful day, changing the way he addressed her, everyone would get used to it in time.

Just as they were about to start the meal, Fu Yanju returned home after closing the shop.

With the cold weather and the incident in Wencheng, no one wandered outside once it got dark.

So now, Su He had asked Fu Yanju to close the shop by six at the latest and return home, without staying late.

With Fu Yanju back, the whole family was together, ready to start the meal.

“Sis, Brother Yu didn’t come to have dinner with us today?” Su He asked with a smile.

Hearing Su He’s words, Fu Yanju blushed slightly but still replied, “I invited him in, but he was too shy to come. He said he wanted to stay with Yu Xi.”

Yu Xi is sixteen years old; does she really need to be accompanied? Clearly, he was just embarrassed about always coming over to freeload on Su He.

“Tell him not to feel embarrassed about coming over for meals. I actually have a big project for him,” Su He joked.

“Hmm? What project?” Fu Yanju asked.

“Well, we’ve been feeling that the house is a bit cramped. After discussing it with Tinghua, we decided to add another floor to this building. When the time comes, we’ll see if Brother Yu has the time to help us build it. If not, I can find someone else.”
