Chapter 697: Chapter 447: Extra Story on Hypertension (1)

Watching the stars alone, no matter how many twinkling stars are in the sky, it feels like a lonely person gazing at lonely stars.

Watching the stars together, even if the starlight and moonlight are obscured by dark clouds, the moment our gazes meet, there are still brilliant stars in our hearts, and the moonlight as pure and white as water.

Tian Xin gave herself three months to adjust her current state.

But sweetheart, do you know? Every minute and every second away from you feels like an eternity.

Whether on a mountaintop, in the kitchen, or in the bedroom, Tang Baijin seems to see her figure everywhere.

He doesn’t know when he falls asleep, and she enters his dreams, where, in the dream, she sleeps on the grass...

...

Law firm.

Today Zheng Tong came here to see Duan Feixun to check on his work. Even though he said he could handle it, she still worried that he might only be reporting the good news and not the bad.

"Mrs. Duan..." The assistant was particularly surprised, "Lawyer Duan is out!"

Zheng Tong said, "I’ll sit in the lounge for a while, it’s okay, go on with your work!"

"Do you need me to call Lawyer Duan?" the assistant asked her.

"No need." Zheng Tong rarely visited his law firm and, of course, she didn’t notify Duan Feixun in advance of her visit today.

The assistant went back to work, and Zheng Tong, having a rare day off, decided to visit the law firm to see him.

When Duan Feixun returned and heard from the assistant that Zheng Tong was there, it was already after work hours. After instructing the assistant to leave early, he went to the lounge.

In the lounge, Zheng Tong had already fallen asleep.

Seeing her curled up asleep on the sofa, he took his suit jacket and covered her with it.

"Feixun..." Zheng Tong noticed that the lights were on and it had gotten dark outside.

Duan Feixun looked at her with concern, "You came without telling me? Are you afraid your husband is cheating outside? Or are you making a surprise inspection?"

"Pfft!" Zheng Tong punched him in the chest, "So vain, who would want you if I gave you away? I couldn’t care less if you’re cheating or not outside!"

"Such words make your husband sound like he has no market value!" Duan Feixun’s laughter bubbled up from his chest, "Are you hungry, shall we go eat?"

"Now that you mention it, I am really hungry!" Zheng Tong was about to get up, but her foot had gone numb.

She cried out in pain and almost fell, but Duan Feixun caught her in one hand and massaged her calf for her.

"Don’t rub it, it tickles..." Zheng Tong squirmed, "I’ll be fine after resting a bit..."

But she couldn’t squirm away at that moment, and the two of them played and wrestled like children for a while until she was pinned down on the sofa by Duan Feixun, who bent down to kiss her lips, "I’m hungry too, let’s start with some dessert..."

"I remember you don’t eat sweets," Zheng Tong snorted.

"But my wife is so sweet, how could I resist?" Duan Feixun said with a laugh.

He kissed her, and she kissed him back. Since that intimate night, he took every opportunity to be close to her.

Zheng Tong still felt a little awkward; after all, she found it a bit embarrassing.

But in the end, one can’t twist an arm more powerful than a thigh, and she would end up being pinned down by him...

After playing around for quite a while, Zheng Tong looked at him, "Duan Feixun, why do I feel like I’m becoming more childish as I age?"

She was well into her thirties; how could she still engage in such youthful, passionate games with him?

Could it really be because his psychological age is young, and that influenced her to become particularly youthful as well?

Duan Feixun looked at her flushed cheeks, "You are young, don’t always think of yourself as so old. In my eyes, you are a young, cute woman whom any man would gladly cherish and adore."

"Smooth talker!" Zheng Tong stretched her hand to touch his lips, "That’s right, I almost forgot, Lawyer Duan earns a living with his mouth! Who knows which words are true and which are lies?"

"But towards my wife, every word is absolutely the gospel truth!" Duan Feixun swore as he raised his hand, and before he even finished speaking, his own stomach started making growling noises.

"Turns out it really was a bluff!" Zheng Tong teased him, "Let’s go, it’s time to eat! I’ll treat you today! Let’s go to Peitian’s restaurant, they have signature dishes for you."

Duan Feixun gathered several documents from his office, and as Zheng Tong looked on, he explained: "The caseload at the law firm has increased recently, I’ll review them tonight."

The two arrived at Qiao Peitian’s restaurant for their meal, where Wu Kang personally welcomed them: "Lawyer Duan, Mrs. Duan, right this way, please!"

Zheng Tong looked at him: "Have you made up your mind? No longer afraid of gossip? Decided to give Peitian happiness?"

Wu Kang, who came here to help after work, said, "I am willing to give it a try, I am willing to believe, happiness is not related to the level of wealth. Seeing the two of you reconcile fortifies my belief!"

Duan Feixun ordered the dishes, allowing Wu Kang to get busy.

When Zheng Tong went to the restroom, she saw Qiao Xiaoyan crying with red eyes, "Xiaoyan..."

"Sister Tong..." Qiao Xiaoyan hurriedly wiped her tears, "You’re here!"

Zheng Tong handed her a tissue, joking, "No wonder only Wu Kang is busy—we thought you were slacking off here!"

"Isn’t this to give them some time and space, to let them get along well?" Qiao Xiaoyan continued the conversation.

Zheng Tong and her walked out of the bathroom to a secluded spot outside the private room, Zheng Tong looked at Qiao Xiaoyan: "What’s wrong? Crying over Song Xuyao?"

"Knowing what kind of person he is, why would I still feel like crying?" Qiao Xiaoyan said sadly, "I don’t even know what’s going on with me."

"When it comes to Song Xuyao, we all know he’s a man with a story! So, if you love him and want to be with him, the process will definitely be tough," Zheng Tong comforted her, "Does your sister know?"

"I haven’t told my sister." Qiao Xiaoyan shook her head. "She would definitely scold me!"

Zheng Tong patted her on the shoulder, "You’re a forensic scientist yourself, think about it rationally, what kind of life do you want, what kind of man do you want. Although sometimes love is baffling, as adults who have matured, we really can’t bear to see you get hurt."

"Actually, maybe I have armor to protect me, so he can’t hurt me!" In fact, Qiao Xiaoyan already had an answer in her heart.

Zheng Tong didn’t say anything more, women are always so irrational, willing to do anything for love!

...

The fishing village.

This is the most remote place in City A, seldom reached by the footsteps of the city.

Tian Xin stayed here alone, relishing the simple aura of the villagers, living amongst the mountains, waters, and fields, with no one to disturb her anymore; she could enjoy the quiet from morning till night, and from night till morning.

She could eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and even fish directly hauled out of the sea by fishermen; when a fisherman handed her a basket of fish, the smell made her nauseous...

"I’m sorry, I might have caught a cold..." Tian Xin explained.

However, a village woman suggested, "Are you pregnant? We haven’t seen your man around?"

Tian Xin was startled; she and Tang Baijin had never taken precautions, and he wouldn’t allow her to take any emergency contraception; if she was pregnant, it would be expected.

But... she wasn’t ready for it yet!

An old village doctor took her pulse: "Congratulations, young lady, you have a pregnancy pulse..."

Yet, Tian Xin could not feel happy; she was a person who liked to plan things step by step, wasn’t ready to figure out her life with Tang Baijin, and now a child?

She picked wampees in the orchard; her appetite wasn’t great since becoming pregnant, and although the villagers were very enthusiastic, there was much she couldn’t eat.

Fortunately, her appetite was good when it came to wampees.

Since she couldn’t climb trees due to the pregnancy, a young villager climbed up and picked them for her.
