Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 488 - 394: Does Zhao Heng Want Both a Son and a Daughter?
"How old are you, still acting like a child. Do you think your sister and husband are the same?"
Xu Man Ni couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Xu Hongdou’s remarks about favoritism.
"What did you say?!"
Xu Hongdou said very displeased.
Although they would bicker as soon as they met, in Xu Hongdou’s eyes, Xu Man Ni was her true sister. Now, suddenly feeling like her sister was being split in half, if not more, it didn’t sit well with Xu Hongdou.
But she knew that familial love and romantic love were not related, they were two different things.
However, people’s time and energy are limited. With Xu Man Ni having a boyfriend, she couldn’t be as available to her as before.
"Ahem, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, they’re all family, the same."
Zhao Heng, seeing that the two were about to start bickering again, couldn’t help but smooth things over.
Little sister-in-law, I’ll be just as good to you as I am to your sister!
Looking at the smiling and elegant Xu Hongdou, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but think.
Hmm... just a bit too feisty.
Zhao Heng was an only child with no siblings, but when he was younger, his cousin Zhao Juan treated him well, so he could empathize with having a sister.
No wonder people nowadays have too much free time, coming up with theories on why brother-in-laws develop feelings for their sister-in-laws.
First, the wife and sister-in-law grew up in the same environment, share the same genes, and the sister-in-law is more like a younger version of the wife. Even if their personalities differ, you can see the wife’s shadow in her, so there might be a bit of love by association.
Second, two unrelated people become connected by the title brother-in-law. In front of the sister-in-law, the brother-in-law feels like a brother, and through indulgence and reliance, feelings develop, as they’re not related by blood. When feelings change, it becomes easy...
Hmm, with all that said, it really comes down to one reason: a man’s possessiveness towards a beautiful woman!
"You guys live in the large flat at No. 1 Court, while I’m still living at home, sigh..."
Xu Hongdou suddenly sighed.
After speaking, she glanced at Xu Man Ni.
For young people, living at home definitely has many inconveniences, especially since Xu Father and Xu Mother were quite strict with Xu Hongdou.
"I’ll give you a room. You can come live with us, alright... I’m really afraid of you."
Xu Man Ni said helplessly.
She could understand her sister’s thoughts; after all, living with parents was certainly restrictive for young people.
Besides, No. 1 Court is close to the central business district, and the residential environment is top-notch. It’s a large flat, fully stocked with all the best amenities.
Who wouldn’t want to live in such a house?!
Not to mention, the large flat that Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni bought was over 200 square meters. Having just three people living in it was actually few.
"I knew you were the best to me, sister."
"Brother-in-law, you don’t have any objections, do you?"
Upon hearing Xu Man Ni’s words, Xu Hongdou’s mood instantly lifted. Her mood fluctuated dramatically, truly embodying the phrase ’in good spirits.’
Despite how Xu Hongdou seemed to always make demands of Xu Man Ni, this was actually her way of expressing familial love. She grew up without her parents around. Although Xu Father and Xu Mother were good to her, it was always Xu Man Ni who helped her the most.
"Me?"
Zhao Heng hadn’t expected Xu Hongdou to ask his opinion. With such a big house, having only two people living in it was too spacious, especially since Zhao Heng and Xu Hongdou were busy with work most of the time, merely returning to sleep, so it was a bit wasted.
Of course, once they got married and had children, it would be different.
"Yes, brother-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t live there for free. I can tidy the house, cook for you, and if nothing else, I can housesit, can’t I?"
Xu Hongdou said with a sweet smile.
"You cook? Tidy the house?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Man Ni couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at Xu Hongdou.
"Then it’s settled, be it lunch or dinner, no big deal, just four dishes, a soup, and a cold dish."
Zhao Heng, seeing that the two were about to start bickering again, said half-jokingly. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Younger sisters staying with elder sisters and brother-in-laws before getting married is quite common.
As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother, and before the younger sister gets married, the elder sister is practically a half-mother.
"No problem."
Seeing that Xu Man Ni was about to speak, Xu Hongdou quickly said.
Cooking is no big deal; if she couldn’t do it, could she not order takeout?
After all, once it’s eaten, who’s to say if it’s takeout or home-cooked?
Seeing Xu Hongdou agree so obediently, Xu Man Ni smiled knowingly.
This sister of hers had been so spoiled by her from a young age that even at twenty-six or twenty-seven, she was still a bit immature.
In reality, Xu Man Ni had no idea that Xu Hongdou, whose parents were absent since childhood, had matured faster than anyone. She just displayed a childish facade in front of her sister.
Before long, the three of them ordered their meals. Zhao Heng casually ordered a pasta dish and shrimp, whereas Xu Man Ni and Xu Hongdou both ordered salads and a sandwich, meals that seemed suited for rabbits.
When the food arrived, Xu Hongdou, while eating, asked Xu Man Ni, "Sister, now that you’ve bought the house, when do you plan to get married? I can be the bridesmaid then, right?"
