The Spoiled Young Lady Who Married a Military Officer-Chapter 119 - 117: Encountering Mu Tianrui Again

On the other end of the line, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were ecstatic. They had been waiting for this child for a long, long time.

But they didn’t want to rush things, afraid it would upset Su Tang. Yet, not bringing it up made them anxious too.

The younger generation will make their own way. It was best to let nature take its course.

And now, their wait was over. Their grandbaby was on the way.

Hearing his mother’s words, Lu Xiao quickly tried to reason with her. "Mom, it’s so far. Don’t trouble yourself coming all this way. I’ll call you when Tangtang is about to give birth, and you can come over then."

After all, the Northwest and Shanghai were very far apart. It wasn’t an easy trip for the old couple.

"What are you talking about? If I come over, I can take care of you and Tangtang. A big guy like you—what do you know?"

Mrs. Lu said, sounding a little unhappy.

She was worried her son would be clumsy and wouldn’t know how to take care of his wife.

With no other choice, Lu Xiao had to agree with his mother.

After all, he really didn’t have any experience taking care of a pregnant woman.

Mrs. Lu’s arrival would indeed be a huge help to them. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"I’ll go buy a ticket tomorrow for the earliest train. You don’t need to pick me up, I know the way."

"Mom, I’m not at the old place anymore. I’ve moved. Just call me when you’ve bought your ticket, and I’ll come pick you up."

After they finished talking, the mother and son hung up. Lu Xiao went home and told Su Tang that his parents were coming over.

Su Tang was delighted to hear that his parents were coming.

It had been a long time since she had last seen Mr. and Mrs. Lu. Since her own parents were also here, the two families could meet.

"Your parents are coming? That’s wonderful."

Seeing Su Tang so happy, Lu Xiao nodded.

"I originally didn’t want them to go through the trouble, thinking they could just come when you were about to give birth. I was worried you’d feel uncomfortable. But Mom’s right—I don’t have any experience taking care of a pregnant woman, after all."

Lu Xiao sat down beside Su Tang and pulled her into his arms.

He placed a hand on her abdomen. Her stomach was still flat, and it was hard to feel the baby’s presence yet.

But it was still magical. He felt as if he could sense a tiny life slowly growing inside, just waiting for the right moment to meet him.

"Tangtang, do you think our baby will be a boy or a girl?"

Lu Xiao asked. Su Tang wrapped her arms around his neck, thought for a moment, and replied.

"Would you mind if it’s a girl?"

Lu Xiao had told Su Tang before that he wanted a girl just like her—a beautiful, smart daughter.

But in this era, there was still a strong preference for sons, especially in a place like the Northwest.

Su Tang couldn’t help but worry. ’If it’s a girl, will she be looked down on?’

"A boy or a girl, either is fine. As long as it’s our child, I’ll love them."

"But I’d prefer a girl. Compared to some rowdy little brat, I’d definitely rather have a sweet, cuddly little daughter."

Lu Xiao had been here for a long time, and most of the children born in the family compound were rowdy little boys.

They were always running around, causing a racket. Nothing like a well-behaved little girl, as adorable as Mai Sui’er.

"You’d better remember what you said today. That you want a daughter."

Su Tang smiled and rested her head on Lu Xiao’s shoulder. She was truly happy to hear him say that.

"Of course I’ll remember. I’m hoping it’s a daughter."

The two of them smiled, agreeing to go into town to buy some baby supplies when they had time. It was still a bit early to start preparing, but it was always better to be safe than sorry.

The arrival of this child completely dispelled the gloom in Su Tang’s heart.

It didn’t matter whether Su Xinyao was reborn or not.

As long as she didn’t come and interfere with her life, Su Tang could let go of the past.

She now had a family who loved her, a husband who loved her, and a child on the way. This was the life the old Su Tang had always hoped for.

Su Tang’s life returned to its peaceful rhythm. When her colleagues at the hospital found out she was pregnant, they all came to congratulate her.

One day, while Su Tang was at work, she suddenly saw Mu Tianrui, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, at the hospital.

She was a little surprised to see Mu Tianrui here.

"What are you doing here?"

Mu Tianrui, who was waiting at the department entrance, heard Su Tang’s voice and turned around with a smile.

"I brought my grandfather here for a check-up."

Hearing this, Su Tang nodded. It was always a good idea for the elderly to have regular check-ups.

"Doctor Su, are you working at this hospital now?"

Mu Tianrui asked, looking at the white coat she was wearing. Su Tang nodded. After exchanging a few words, Su Tang was about to leave.

But just then, Grandpa Mu happened to walk out of the department.

"Isn’t this Doctor Su? What a coincidence, seeing you here."

Mu Tianrui’s grandfather was clearly delighted to see Su Tang. He walked up and grasped her hands.

"Doctor Su, I’m so grateful to you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be alive today."

"I told this little rascal of mine to invite you to dinner, but he said he couldn’t get you to come no matter what. I was so angry I gave him a beating."

Hearing this, Su Tang quickly tried to explain things for Mu Tianrui’s sake.

"Oh, so that’s how it was. Well then, how about today? Since we’re already here, let me treat you to a meal."

The old gentleman had been set on treating Su Tang to a meal. People of his generation felt that if they didn’t repay a debt of gratitude, they couldn’t rest in peace, even in death.

If she refused again, Su Tang felt she would seem rude and cold-hearted. Besides, the old gentleman’s hospitality was hard to turn down; she really couldn’t say no.

Su Tang nodded in agreement. Seeing this, the corners of Mu Tianrui’s lips curled up slightly.

When lunchtime came and her shift ended, Mu Tianrui was waiting at the hospital entrance.

The three of them found a small restaurant nearby.

It was a place the hospital staff often frequented.

The old gentleman had clearly been a powerful and high-ranking figure in the past. The people inside the restaurant treated him with great respect.

Mu Tianrui thoughtfully stepped forward and pulled out a chair for Su Tang, letting her sit down across from him.

"Grandpa Mu, you don’t need to be so formal. As a doctor, saving you was my duty. I’m happier than anyone that you’ve recovered."

Su Tang explained again in response to Grandpa Mu’s words.

Just as Mu Tianrui was about to pour Su Tang a glass of wine, a hand reached out from the side and firmly covered the rim of the cup.

"I’m sorry, my wife is pregnant and can’t drink."

Hearing this, both Grandpa Mu and Mu Tianrui froze for a moment. They simultaneously looked up at the person beside them.

"I’m Doctor Su’s husband. Mr. Mu, we’ve spoken on the phone before."

A smile touched Lu Xiao’s lips, but his words held no trace of happiness.
