Chapter 105 Isn't it just about money?
After Lin Fan and Su Ruowei finished washing up, Lin Fan was about to lie down on the sofa to rest when he saw Su Ruowei standing in front of the bedroom door, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Su Ruowei recalled Gu Xinyan's words. The two had been married for two years, but they had never even slept in the same bed. It was indeed hard to believe.
Although she wasn't ready to go any further, she could accept just sleeping in a bed and doing nothing.
Of course, doing something might be acceptable.
"What's wrong, Ruowei? Is there something else?" Lin Fan asked.
"Um... is it cold on the sofa?" Su Ruowei's pretty face flushed slightly.
"Do not--"
Lin Fan was about to speak when he quickly stopped himself.
"It's cold! Winter is coming soon, and it's definitely a bit cold to sleep in the living room!"
"Then, should we... um..." Su Ruowei hesitated.
"Yes!" Lin Fan answered quickly.
With Su Ruowei's tacit approval, Lin Fan finally entered the bedroom, which only had one bed, so there was no chance of sleeping in a small bed.
"Go to sleep!" Su Ruowei shyly burrowed into the blankets, wrapped herself up tightly, and leaned against Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was well aware of Su Ruowei's shyness, but he felt content to be able to share a bed with her and dared not ask for anything more.
In the quiet night, they could both clearly hear each other's heartbeats.
They didn't fall asleep until some time later.
The next day, as usual, I took the girl to school and then to work.
The same thing happened for the next few days. Lin Fan also visited Zhou Xiaojing at the hospital a few times, and coincidentally ran into Su Yulin and also saw Su Zhengshuang.
Su Ruowei, who is allergic to disinfectant, stayed home and played with her child.
Life seemed uneventful until Su Ruowei received a call from Shen Yunlan.
Su Ruowei and Lin Fan had just finished get off work and had dinner. Today happened to be payday, and the 30 yuan in support funds promised by the old lady had arrived in their accounts.
"Ruowei! Still busy with work? It's been so long since you've been home. Mom misses you!" Shen Yunlan said earnestly on the other end of the phone.
"I've been quite busy lately." Su Ruowei covered her phone again and whispered to Lin Fan, "It's my mom calling."
Lin Fan smiled slightly; he had also heard Shen Yunlan's voice.
I even timed my thoughts to be with my daughter perfectly, and it just so happened to be payday—what a coincidence!
"I know my daughter is doing well and is busy with work. Can you take some time to come home today and try my cooking?"
"Mom, I've already eaten. How about we eat later? I'm too busy to go right now." Su Ruowei glanced at the girl who was watching TV.
"Oh, Mom missed you so much! Even if you're busy, you should come home for a visit!" Shen Yunlan said to her daughter in a coquettish tone.
"Mom, lately indeed—"
Before Su Ruowei could finish speaking, Shen Yunlan changed her attitude and said in a commanding tone, "We're both in Shancheng City, and you're not on a business trip, so why can't you come home? Have you grown too big for your britches? Don't you even recognize your own mother anymore? I don't care, you have to come back today!"
"Fine, fine, let's go back!" Su Ruowei agreed helplessly. It's just money, what's the big deal?
"Good daughter, I'm waiting for you!" Shen Yunlan's voice became earnest again, and she hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
Su Ruowei was suddenly in a dilemma, thinking that if all else failed, she would just take a taxi back herself.
"Sister, why don't you and brother go back and visit? I can take care of myself," the girl suddenly said, pausing for a moment before adding, "And I also want to go to the hospital to see Mom. Take me there this weekend."
Lin Fan and Su Ruowei looked at each other in surprise, both assuming that the other had told the girl Zhou Xiaojing about her hospitalization.
The girl said, "I guessed it myself. A few times when my brother came back, he smelled like he was from the hospital."
And Mom was fine, because I saw my brother looked very relaxed when he came back.
Lin Fan and Su Ruowei both looked at the girl at the same time, as if they were looking at a genius.
"It's because my older brother and sister are too clumsy; they can't even lie properly." The girl smiled, seemingly enjoying their awkwardness, which gave her a sense of security.
The girl is much more sensible than her peers, perhaps because she comes from a single-parent family. Seeing her mother's hard work, she has been considerate of her mother since she was a child. The girl also takes her mother's surname, Zhou, and is named Zhou Xinran.
"Xinran is so well-behaved, she's practically a little angel!" Su Ruowei smiled like a loving mother.
"Then let my sister have a little brother so he can play with me!" Zhou Xinran said.
Su Ruowei immediately shut her mouth, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, and dared not say another word.
She was an angel just a moment ago, and now she's a little devil!
“Then let’s work hard so that Xinran can have a younger brother to play with as soon as possible,” Lin Fan agreed.
"Lin Fan! Hurry up and pack your things." Su Ruowei quickly interrupted, then said to the girl, "We'll be back first thing tomorrow morning. Be a good girl at home, Xiao Xinran."
"Mmm." The girl nodded understandingly.
Forty minutes later, Lin Fan and Su Ruowei returned to their residential complex. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Shen Yunlan walking towards them, and she seemed to want to pounce on Su Ruowei.
"Ruowei, you've worked hard."
Shen Yunlan helped Su Ruowei hang her bag on the coat rack, and then led Su Ruowei to sit down on the sofa.
Su Ruowei looked at the leftover food on the table not far away and shook her head helplessly. She had said she would try her cooking, but the food was already eaten before she even arrived.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking that his mother-in-law hadn't even noticed him; it seemed that money was still the biggest draw.
"Mom, I've transferred the money to you."
Before Shen Yunlan could speak, Su Ruowei spoke first.
"Don't worry about money, Mom just misses you." Shen Yunlan said this, but her hand reached into her pocket and took out her phone. She was relieved to see that there was a remittance text message.
Lin Fan pursed his lips. Now, his mother-in-law should be getting started.
As expected, after receiving the money, Shen Yunlan had nothing on her mind, and once she had nothing on her mind, she immediately noticed Lin Fan.
"Oh, daughter, why did you come back with Lin Fan?" Shen Yunlan asked anxiously.
Su Ruowei frowned, giving a 'what else?' look.
Shen Yunlan frowned. She had arranged a blind date for Su Ruowei, but now that the person had arrived, how was she going to explain it to her?
No, we have to kick Lin Fan out.
"Lin Fan, we have something to do at home tonight, so you'll have to stay out for the night!" Shen Yunlan said in a commanding tone.
Lin Fan was taken aback, but before he could speak, he heard Su Ruowei say, "Then I'll go with Lin Fan. You go ahead and do your own thing."
Shen Yunlan looked at Lin Fan with disbelief: "Did you cast a spell on my daughter?"
"What kind of curse could I possibly cast!" Lin Fan smiled, then turned to Su Ruowei and said, "I think Ruowei has cast a curse on me. Why do I love her so much?"
Su Ruowei blushed shyly: "You're such a chatterbox!"
Shen Yunlan looked incredulous. It had only been a few days since she last saw Su Ruowei, so she had been with Lin Fan all along?
Judging from this, something must have happened between the two of them.
It's over! It's over!
Shen Yunlan immediately ran to the bedroom to discuss with Su Zhengwu, and told him everything that had just happened.
Su Zhengwu was also taken aback, but he remained calm.
"Do you think Lin Fan might be destined for great things?" Su Zhengwu asked doubtfully.
