"I'm sorry, Dad came late."
Xu Chuan gently touched his son's head and said in a tender voice.
Little Xu Heng, with a satisfied expression, lay on his shoulder and spoke in a childish voice, "It's okay, Heng Heng doesn't blame Dad."
"Heng Heng had a great time today."
"Aunt Rong is very beautiful, and Heng Heng really likes her!"
"Unfortunately, she already has Uncle Huo, otherwise Dad could marry her and be Heng Heng's mom..."
The little guy, half asleep, spoke in a drowsy manner.
They say children speak their minds, but Huo Shao Ting remembered this sentence, staring coldly at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan felt extremely embarrassed, and Rong Dai quickly smiled and explained, "Children are young and innocent, they speak without restraint."
"Mr. Xu, you should take Heng Heng home now. It's late and it's chilly outside."
Xu Chuan nodded and carried Heng Heng. As he passed by Lu Nianzhi, his footsteps paused. He looked at her with complex and worried eyes, wanting to say something more.
But he couldn't find the words.
"Oh, isn't this Aunt Lu? Why is she here..."
"Ah, Aunt Lu is also very beautiful... Even though she seems a bit stern, she is still a girl that Dad loves..."
"Why doesn't she like Heng Heng? Otherwise, she could be Heng Heng's mom."
"Ah, what a pity..."
Neither Lu Nianzhi nor Xu Chuan spoke. It was the little Xu Heng who was half asleep, with a red face and half-closed eyes, murmuring in his mouth.
After sighing, he stopped talking and rested his mouth on Xu Chuan's shoulder.
With one hand supporting his son's head, Xu Chuan looked at Lu Nianzhi with a complicated and worried expression.
"Nian... you go back and stay safe."
She didn't allow him to accompany her, so all he could do was give her this reminder.
Lu Nianzhi ignored him, her mind still replaying the words "the girl Dad loves" that little Xu Heng had said.
Xu Chuan left with the child, and Huo Shao Ting was still here. Of course, Lu Nianzhi wouldn't stay any longer.
The hospital room had been tidied up by the nursing staff, clean and neat. They had also placed a perfectly blooming bouquet of flowers.
Rong Dai couldn't help but hug his waist, resting her chin on his chest as she looked up at him, her voice soft and gentle. "Shao Ting, I think... you will also become an excellent and loving father like Xu Chuan."
In the past life, there were many princes and princesses in the palace, each with their own mother. Although they would come and pay respects to her as the queen, those concubines were not to be underestimated. Even the innocent children had long been taught to be shrewd.
She had never truly experienced the feeling of being a mother.
Today, little Xu Heng fulfilled her wish and alleviated the pain and sadness of losing her child.
Hearing her words, Huo Shao Ting couldn't help but recall the scene moments ago when he was left behind while they were eating.
But... if it were his and Rong's child, he wouldn't care too much.
That child would be their bond.
"Yes, I will."
He lowered his gaze, gently kissed her forehead, and said in a soft voice.
Rong Dai's entire being nestled in his embrace as he glanced at the time. She had been in the hospital for about four or five days now.
Although everything was available here, it still wasn't as convenient as being in her own home.
"Shaoting, I want to move back home. I can rest properly and recover just as well at home."
"The hospital is crowded and noisy. I prefer the quiet here."
"Besides, I had my check-up today, and I'm recovering well."
"After returning home, I'll pay attention to my diet, rest, and exercise. There shouldn't be any major issues."
She spoke softly, discussing with him.
The most important thing was that once she returned home, she could do many things.
While staying in the hospital, she always found herself thinking about the moment she entered the operating room, and she couldn't help but think about her unborn child.
