Chapter 894: Chapter 896: Brown Sugar Cubes
"Aunt Gu, you should stay at the hospital to take care of Gu Mingzhu who just gave birth. We will take good care of Nianhua and won’t let her down."
Pei Yicheng’s voice suddenly came through, and Xu Nianhua’s eyes brightened instantly. Recently, Pei Yicheng had been busy preparing for the factory setup in South City, so busy that he was nowhere to be seen. She didn’t expect him to come to the hospital.
The next moment, Xu Nianhua noticed that Pei Yicheng’s black trousers were a bit dirty, as if dusted with white powder, even his shirt was messy, suggesting he had just rushed over from the construction site. His forehead was still glistening with sweat.
Pei Yicheng walked towards her, his black eyes gazing at her. Though he didn’t speak, she could see the care in his eyes.
"I’m doing great," Xu Nianhua flashed a bright smile. However, having just had a blood transfusion, her complexion was pale. The smile was bright, but in Pei Yicheng’s eyes, it made him feel even more sympathetic.
"Yicheng, why are you here?"
Xu Nian’an quietly stepped aside, allowing Pei Yicheng to stand beside Xu Nianhua. At this moment, Yicheng’s presence was the most comforting.
He found that when Fang Yue was emotional, she was quite easy to deal with and when it was necessary to retort, he had no hesitations.
However, now Fang Yue was pleading, apologizing, and even shedding tears, leaving him unsure of what to do.
But, to let Nianhua stay in the Gu Family, as brothers, they absolutely couldn’t feel at ease.
"I heard you all were at the hospital, so I came to see," Pei Yicheng pulled a small bag from his pocket, containing cube-shaped brown sugar that he had specially bought. He took a piece and slipped it into her mouth, saying, "It’s really sweet."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng."
Xu Nianhua beamed, with the sweet brown sugar melting in her mouth, spreading warmth to her heart.
"Hello, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu," Pei Yicheng greeted them first, then with the curious eyes on him, introduced himself, "I’m Pei Yicheng, Nianhua’s boyfriend."
"Truly a perfect match."
"Isn’t this what they call a match made in heaven on TV?"
The crowd whispered among themselves. They always thought Xu Nianhua was beautiful, and now, as Pei Yicheng stood there, even though his clothes weren’t particularly clean, looking like he just returned from work, it still didn’t hide his handsomeness!
What’s a bit of dirt on clothes? We are all working people; who doesn’t have to work even if it’s not farming?
In everyone’s eyes, Pei Yicheng’s outfit proved that he was willing to work hard, capable, and good-looking. Knowing Xu Nianhua had a blood transfusion, he bought red sugar to help with her recovery. Such a good boyfriend, why hadn’t their own daughters met someone like him?
As everyone was pondering this, hoping to hear more gossip, a nurse started shooing people away. This was a hospital, not a marketplace.
The bystanders left, leaving only the Jiang family of three, Gu Hai and Fang Yue couple, the Xu siblings, Pei Yicheng, and Xu Nianhua outside the delivery room.
"Nianhua, I was wrong just now, it was my bad, please forgive me. Why not come back home today?" Fang Yue still looked at Xu Nianhua pleadingly, just as before.
Pei Yicheng’s tall figure stood protectively beside Xu Nianhua, like a guardian angel, he said, "No need, Aunt Gu, just take good care of Gu Mingzhu."
"I know you’re Nianhua’s boyfriend, but why don’t you try persuading Nianhua to come home?" Fang Yue interrupted Pei Yicheng’s words, looking at his gear with disdain, and although concealed, it was still apparent.
