Chapter 424
After Xu Nuan was discharged from the hospital, Grandmother Han and Cheng Zixing took her back to the Han Mansion, meanwhile, Han Zihao had no other choice but to follow their arrangements.
Han Zihao wanted to go to his condominium and wanted to spend some time alone with her, but his Grandma has some other plans.
Seems like from now on, there is nothing that he can do alone. Because there is no way he can beat his Grandma in terms of excitement and energy.
Even his Grandfather cannot win over his Grandma, how can he go against her words?
” Stop frowning! You’re acting as if I have kept you as a hostage here.” Grandmother Han commented to see Han Zihao’s frowning face.
Han Zihao didn’t say anything and shook his head in helplessness. Why did he even come here? It’s not a house anymore, but a circus.
.....
Xu Nuan who was sitting next to him giggled at his exhausted expressions and was enjoying everyone’s attention and love that they were showering her with.
She thought that things might be a bit complicated since she has gotten pregnant even before they could start talking about marriage plans. Although they always had this plan in their minds, they weren’t planning to get on it so soon.
However, fate had some other plans.
–
” Xu Nuan, I am so happy today. Thank you so much for giving us such a precious gift. From now on, if you have any complaints against this brat, come to me. Your Grandfather will give him a stern scolding.” Grandfather Han said, making Xu Nuan laugh even more.
” Grandfather, you don’t need to worry about that. She has him at her fingertips, she can control him better than you do.” Han Liang added, causing Grandfather Han to look at Xu Nuan in amusement.
” Oh? Is that so? Then she is the same as your Grandma. She also has me at her fingertips. ” Grandfather Had laughed and slapped Han Liang on his back, causing him to almost fall off the couch.
” Ouch! That hurts! Why do you both husband and wife like to hit people when you’re excited?” He cried out loud but Grandfather Han hit him again.
” Why are you acting as if you’re a baby? A real baby is going to come into this house. You better be prepared to go on your fours to become a horse for the baby. Understand?” Grandmother Han said and smacked him on the back as well, causing Han Liang to pout.
” Grandma, I am going to become an Uncle now. I also have some self-respect, you should stop hitting me anymore.”
” What rubbish? When did I hit you? I simply smack you lightly, it’s you who overreacts all the time.”
” Then why don’t you hit brother? You never do the same with him but it’s always me.”
” He is going to be a father now. How can I beat the father of a child? Also, he is no fun to smack because he doesn’t give funny reactions like you do.” Grandmother Han grinned at him and shrugged her shoulders casually, causing him to ‘hmph’ in annoyance.
While Han Liang was bickering with Grandmother Han, Xu Nuan was watching the brightened atmosphere of the family. Since she never got to experience this kind of happiness of a big family, she was feeling blessed to meet such nice and welcoming people.
She also had a large family with her Grandfather and Uncle’s family, but unfortunately, their family was not as happy and peaceful as this one. After her parents passed away and she was taken back to Jiang Mansion to live with her Grandfather and everyone else, she always felt left out.
Even when they sat together to have dinner, she couldn’t eat with everyone in peace. It was so suffocating and difficult for her to eat together with Jiang Ru at the same dining table.
Everyone might not see it that way, but she can never forget the way she mistreated her and was the sole cause of all the events that happened that day. She still feels that Jiang Ru and her wicked nature are one of the major reasons why her parents passed away so early and left her alone, and miserable in this world.
Han Zihao who picked up the glass of orange juice to pass to Xu Nuan noticed her zoned-out expressions and clutched her hand, comforting her with his warmth.
” Hmm?” Xu Nuan was startled when he suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her intently.
” Don’t stress about things too much. Leave all the thinking up to me. I’ll handle it well.” He said, causing her to chuckle at his ‘confident’ declaration.
” Yeah, Sure. Sure.”
Grandmother Han noticed Han Zihao and Xu Nuan giggling and laughing with each other and smiled to see the two of them happy together.
” Xu Nuan, did you inform your parents about this good news? Just like us, they should know about this good news as well.” Grandmother Han said as she looked at Xu Nuan with a hesitant look.
Since she is aware of Xu Nuan’s family issues, she never asked her many questions about her family. However, if Xu Nuan and Han Zihao decide to be together, this matter is something that cannot be pushed back for so long.
Xu Nuan is pregnant. It’s such big news. How can they not inform her parents and family? She is their daughter after all.
Upon hearing Grandmother Han’s words, Xu Nuan remembered that she had a family as well. After Gu Xingren’s matter, she was so distant from the Gu family that she almost forgot that they exist in the same city and Xu Nuan is part of that family.
Neither they tried to contact her, nor she was interested. Although Grandfather Gu used to call her and ask about her whereabouts sometimes, that was it. She was so busy with her work and student life that she didn’t have any time to care about anything else.
“Erm...I...I haven’t told them about this news as of yet.” Xu Nuan replied hesitantly. At her response, everyone in the living room fell silent and were exchanging uncomfortable glances with each other.
” Grandma, You don’t need to worry. We’ll tell them soon enough.”Han Zihao interrupted, causing this awkward situation to elevate.
Grandmother Han pursed her lips and nodded unwillingly. She wanted to invite Xu Nuan’s parents for dinner at Han Mansion. However, at this moment, she felt that it would be better if Han Zihao and Xu Nuan tell them first, and then the elders can discuss the matter of their marriage together.
” Okay! However, tell them about this soon. Also, if you haven’t thought about it yet, I think it’s time to discuss the matter of your marriage as well. I am sure you don’t want the baby to be born before the registration of your marriage, do you?” Grandmother Han eyed them, which caused Xu Nuan’s cheeks to blush crimson.
While Xu Nuan’s face was blushing in embarrassment, the corner of Han Zihao’s curled upon hearing Grandmother Han talking about their marriage. Is this finally happening? He wondered.
