Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Do You Speak, or Should I?

Ripples through the night.

In the morning, just as Si Chen woke up, she woke up as well. Rubbing her eyes, she saw Si Chen changing clothes and asked without thinking: "What’s the time?"

Si Chen turned around, buttoning his shirt as he sat on the edge of the bed. He caressed her hair and responded, "It’s six o’clock, still early, you can sleep a little longer. I’ll tell mom and dad to wake you up at half past seven."

Tong Yao shook her head, sitting up, "No more sleep, I want to go to the hospital first to bring some breakfast for Jinnian and Hongwei, then head over to Enzhen’s place."

Si Chen bent down to straighten Tong Yao’s slippers, then turned to open the wardrobe and asked, "Which dress are you going to wear?"

Tong Yao pointed to the dress that she had just bought with Guo Jinnian yesterday and said, "That one! I specifically bought it for Enzhen’s wife’s Full Moon Wine Ceremony. You can tell me whether it looks good or not."

Si Chen handed her the dress, "Did you buy shoes to match the skirt?"

If she hadn’t bought any, there was still time to buy a pair. Girls love to dress up. Wearing beautiful clothes seems to make them happy. Although Si Chen did not understand why girls can be so easily pleased, he really enjoyed seeing Tong Yao happy.

"I bought some." Tong Yao reached out to take the dress, but the bedding slipped from her chest. Her face reddened as she quickly pulled the bedding back up. "Turn around, I’m going to get dressed."

Si Chen’s mouth curled slightly, "After so many years of being husband and wife, you’re still shy?"

Tong Yao huffed, "This is to maintain a sense of freshness at all times. In this way, the marriage can always feel like a romance, preventing you from getting tired of it."

Si Chen cooperated very well with Tong Yao’s views. He turned around, handed her the undergarments from the cupboard, and said, "Then I’ll go and freshen up first, and come back later to see how you look in your dress."

Tong Yao nodded, and once Si Chen left, she put on the dress. Tong Yao was pretty with a good figure, especially after having two kids, she was even more voluptuous. The dress made her curves stand out.

When she came out and ran into Si Chen who had just finished freshening up, the sight of Tong Yao took his breath away. He had an unexpected urge to hide her away at home and not let anyone else see her, he wanted her beauty only for his eyes.

Seeing the look in Si Chen’s eyes, Tong Yao knew she’d chosen the right dress. She twirled and laughed, "How’s it? Do I look good?"

Si Chen nodded, "Your taste is excellent, the dress is very beautiful, it suits you."

If they had been in the bedroom, Si Chen would have most likely already taken Tong Yao in his arms and kissed her. But they were in the living room with the parents and kids around, so he didn’t display any intimate behavior.

"Oh my, Miss Tong, this dress looks like it was custom-made for you, it’s just too pretty." Sister Zheng, coming out from the kitchen, couldn’t help but praise her upon seeing how beautiful Tong Yao looked.

Hearing the praise, both Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun came out of their rooms to see Tong Yao dressed so beautifully. Knowing that she bought the dress for Enzhen’s Full Moon Wine Ceremony, both of them had smiles on their faces.

Tong Yaohui spoke, "You guys should hurry up and eat, then bring some breakfast to Hongwei and Jinnian. Yangyang and Yueyue haven’t woken up yet, let them sleep in a bit longer, we can wake them up later. Children need sleep to grow."

Wen Yun also added, "Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and eat breakfast first! If we leave it too late, Jinnian and Hongwei will be hungry."

While the kids had not woken up yet, the adults had breakfast first. Sister Zheng also packed some breakfast. After Tong Yao and Si Chen had finished eating, they went to the hospital together.

Prior to starting work, Si Chen first accompanied Tong Yao to the ward to see Guo Jinnian. Just as they arrived, they saw Gu Hongwei helping Guo Jinnian out of the bathroom. Their eyes met, and Guo Jinnian looked unwell.

Being caught by someone while Gu Hongwei helped her use the bathroom was extremely embarrassing. As Guo Jinnian was thinking of something to say to break the awkwardness, Si Chen seemed as relaxed as if nothing had happened.

He placed the breakfast on the bedside table and quietly said, "We have brought you some white rice porridge, as well as buns and steamed dumplings. You guys eat some food first. I’ll head to work."

Gu Hongwei nodded, "Thank you, Chen, you can go ahead. I’ll handle things here."

Guo Jinnian also hurriedly added, "Yes, Dr. Si, you go to work now. I’m recovering quite well, my wounds don’t hurt anymore, and my spirits are high. I won’t have any problems attending the feast at noon."

Knowing Guo Jinnian’s personality, Si Chen reminded her, "You can’t attend the feast right now. Rest well in the hospital first. We’ll talk about it after the stitches are removed."

With a single sentence, he shattered her thoughts. She immediately looked disappointed. Tong Yao almost burst out laughing on the side, "Alright, don’t be disappointed. When Sister Hu comes over in a bit, we’ll have a grand meal. Then you can eat wherever you want."

When Guo Jinnian heard this, she instantly brightened up again.

Si Chen said to Tong Yao, "I’m heading to work now. You should leave the hospital at nine to go home, then take the children to attend Enzhen’s Full Moon Wine Ceremony. This way, you won’t be in a hurry."

Si Chen had even planned the time for Tong Yao’s departure.

Tong Yao nodded, "You go busy yourself. Don’t worry about me, I’ll sit for a while and then head back."

Seeing Si Chen leave, Guo Jinnian, sitting on the edge of the bed, exclaimed, "God, Dr. Si is so considerate! No wonder everyone envies you for finding such a good husband."

Before Tong Yao could answer, Gu Hongwei said, "I’m also very considerate. Now, lie down."

He helped Guo Jinnian and took off her shoes. Guo Jinnian remembered that Gu Hongwei had confessed his feelings to her last night. Strictly speaking, they were already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Guo Jinnian was very cooperative and obediently let Gu Hongwei help her lie down. She even ordered, "Get me a bun, I’m hungry. Sister Zheng’s buns are so fragrant that I can smell them from a distance."

"Drink a few bites of the rice porridge before eating the bun, or it may choke you." Gu Hongwei opened the box and fed Guo Jinnian a few mouthfuls of porridge first.

Tong Yao noticed that the way the two were interacting was much different than before. They were like a married couple and this was clearly different from how they used to be. She glanced back and forth between the two.

"Did something happen last night? Are you guys keeping something from me?"

Gu Hongwei looked at Guo Jinnian, "Do you want to tell her or should I?"

Guo Jinnian snorted, "Of course you have to say it! You confessed to me, not the other way around. It’s your responsibility to explain."

Without dwelling on this issue, Gu Hongwei said to Tong Yao, "Yaoyao, I confessed my feelings to Jinnian last night. We are officially a couple now. If nothing unexpected happens, we should get married before Miaomiao."

Gu Hongwei and Guo Jinnian had known each other for many years. They didn’t need to spend more time understanding each other because they were already the people who understood each other the most.
