Lu Wusui’s complacency lasted only a few days.
Just when he thought everything was settled and he had won the battle for favor with his son – he never expected that his son would fall ill.
Of course, the child’s illness had nothing to do with Jiang Huai’s care.
The nanny was taking care of the child and felt that the child was hot, so she opened the window in the room and let him get some fresh air for a while.
At this moment, when the nanny came to see the child again in the afternoon, she found that the child had a fever.
This is how it is for children of this age. If you don’t pay attention, they will get sick. In addition, the child is a premature baby, so it is normal for him to be weaker than ordinary children.
The nanny was frightened out of her wits, fearing she would be fired and feeling guilty towards the child.
Of course, Lu Wusui has become much more “gentle” in the past two years. He will not fire anyone for such a small matter. After giving the corresponding punishment, he will focus on the children.
Jiang Huai was also very anxious.
After calling the family doctor, he gave the child an injection and stayed by the child’s side the whole time.
At this time, he no longer had the intention to compete with Lu Wusui. Lu Wusui also returned to being a mature adult, silently hugging Jiang Huai and preparing things for the child to use during his illness.
To Jiang Huai’s surprise.
Lu Wusui’s technique of mixing medicine, his control of the dosage for children, and even the way he rubbed the needle holes for children were all incredibly skilled.
He didn’t even have to read the instructions or ask a doctor.
Jiang Huai was a little confused.
With Lu Wusui by his side, Jiang Huai felt safe. He did not go forward to cause trouble, but occasionally helped Lu Wusui and took care of the children until late at night.
They went back to sleep in the nursery.
Late at night, Jiang Huai felt like going to the bathroom, so he climbed out of Lu Wusui’s arms. When he went out of the bedroom, he found that the aunt who was taking care of the child had not left yet.
And slept in the corridor.
Normally, the child is taken care of by two nannies who take turns watching him around the clock. When they are on duty at night, they will rest in the guest room of the Lu family which is equipped with a baby monitor.
Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment and asked, “Aunt Zhang, why haven’t you gone home yet?”
Aunt Zhang was wrapped in a blanket and had a recliner pulled up underneath her. She was obviously planning to sleep here. Hearing this, she said nervously, “I’m sorry for Xiaobao. So will stay here and be at ease.”
As a father, Jiang Huai must feel uncomfortable when his child is sick.
However, seeing Aunt Zhang like this, he couldn’t bear it and comforted her with a few words.
Aunt Zhang rubbed her eyes and sighed, “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. Xiaobao was sick last month and it was hard enough. Mr. Lu not only works hard but also suffers from insomnia at night. I made a mistake and made everyone uneasy.”
Jiang Huai was stunned by the information revealed in her words.
After a long while, he slowly asked, “What’s wrong? What’s insomnia?”
When Aunt Zhang heard him ask this, she was also a little confused: “You don’t know…” Then, she realized that she had said something she shouldn’t have said, and her expression became panicked.
Half an hour later, Jiang Huai returned to the baby room.
He did not go to bed immediately, but looked at Lu Wusui quietly for a moment, then bit his lip and curled up in Lu Wusui’s arms.
Lu Wusui was a little confused for once, and asked in a low voice: “What’s wrong with the baby?”
Jiang Huai felt a pang in his heart and whispered, “Baby is okay. Go to sleep.”
Lu Wusui adjusted his posture and held him deeper in his arms, then he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Huai was a little absent-minded.
What Aunt Zhang said to him came back to his mind.
”A month ago, Xiaobao fell ill… But that illness was not caused by human error. It was probably due to the change of seasons. It didn’t look like he was in good condition. Mr. Lu stayed up all night to take care of him. He looked calm on the surface, but I saw that Mr. Lu was angry the next day.”
”So, what’s with the insomnia?”
”Well…you are Mr. Lu’s lover. Don’t you know that Mr. Lu suffers from insomnia?”
Jiang Huai is having some insomnia.
He remembered what Zhu Xiaoai said, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, let alone the fact that Lu Wusui is not a tiger, he is a human being.
What did he think of Lu Wusui?
Jiang Huai felt that he also needed to apologize to Lu Wusui.
As for the other one… he was a little confused.
He was Lu Wusui’s bedmate, sleeping together every day, it was impossible for him not to know that Lu Wusui had insomnia. He woke up in the middle of the night several times, and all he saw was Lu Wusui sleeping soundly.
When did Lu Wusui suffer from insomnia?
Jiang Huai was extremely confused.
Perhaps he already had doubts in his heart, Jiang Huai found Lu Wusui’s sleeping pills the next day.
Jiang Huai had never come into contact with sleeping pills. He looked up the name of the medicine on the Internet and accidentally read a lot of popular science. Only then did he know that this medicine is a prescription drug and the doctor will only prescribe it unless it is confirmed that the patient has to take sleeping pills.
So, Lu Wusui was indeed suffering from insomnia.
Moreover, this small medicine bottle is already half empty, and Lu Wusui must have taken it for quite a long time.
The baby took three days to recover. During these three days, Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui slept in the baby room to take care of him more conveniently.
After careful nursing, the baby’s energy was restored a lot on the second day.
Looking at his carefree little face, Jiang Huai said, “Isn’t it time to give the baby a name? I remember there is a saying that if you don’t give the baby a name, it’s easy to lose it.”
Lu Wusui has always scoffed at such superstitious ideas.
But since it was Jiang Huai who said it, he did not refute it, and asked softly: “Have you thought about it?”
Jiang Huai shook his head blankly.
Lu Wusui: “…It’s been almost half a month, big baby.”
Hearing him call him “big baby”, Jiang Huai blushed a little, not knowing whether he was embarrassed or annoyed. He said uncomfortably: “Then you choose it!”
Lu Wusui cleared his throat.
He also gave Jiang Huai some face and saved his dignity by saying, “Things like naming do require some thought.”
Jiang Huai was a little happier.
The next second, Lu Wusui said, “Why not just call me Lu Zimao?”
Jiang Huai: ???
Didn’t you think about this a long time ago? You thought he wouldn’t notice if you were just pretending, right?
After the baby recovered from his illness, Jiang Huai was still a little worried and checked many times a day. He would not relax until he found that the baby was still lying safely.
And on Lu Wusui’s side.
When the baby was sick, he was a normal human father. When the baby recovered, his nature as a vinegar spirit remained unchanged.
The baby started crying, and Jiang Huai held him and comforted him.
Lu Wusui stood beside him and hugged him, saying dissatisfiedly: “Children who cry get candy, and children who don’t cry get air.”
Jiang Huai: “…Are you a child?”
Lu Wusui did not feel embarrassed and said seriously: “I am telling him: crying is good.”
Jiang Huai: “…”
He seemed to have foreseen the difficult life the child would have in the future from Lu Wusui’s attitude.
It seems that Lu Wusui just doesn’t want Jiang Huai to get too close to others.
Be it the children or his friends, not to mention what happened with Tao Chuannan before. Although Lu Wusui didn’t say it, when Jiang Huai looked at his phone for too long and ignored him, he would start to pretend to test him casually.
Only after he realized it was not Tao Chunan or any other man would he relax.
This strong possessiveness made Jiang Huai distressed, but also filled him with indescribable sweetness.
The reason why Lu Wusui was like this was because he cared too much, so he cared about him being too close to others, so he cared about his attention, and he also cared about his love.
This has the same root cause as – if Jiang Huai was injured, Lu Wusui would be anxious and angry.
The root of this is love.
Because there is love, there is care, Lu Wusui loves him.
Just when Jiang Huai was preparing to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Wusui, he never expected that Lu Wusui fell ill again.
And the illness happened at a bad time.
He couldn’t hold on during a meeting and was sent to the hospital by people in the company. When Jiang Huai arrived at the hospital, he was sweating with anxiety.
It was also the first time that he bumped into a group of Lu’s employees.
A long time ago, he was taken to Lu’s company by Lu Wusui once. It seemed that Lu Wusui had torn his doll that time, but he had work to do, so he left him in the company first.
Some of the employees standing in front of him now are strangers, while some are familiar.
Jiang Huai was startled and faced them against the wall.
He was holding the baby in his arms, and the baby also looked confused.
The employees looked at each other in bewilderment. Some who were confused asked, “Who are you?”
Before Jiang Huai could speak, the assistant and the housekeeper who were taking over came late. Seeing them gathered like this, the assistant hurriedly asked: “What are you doing? Why don’t you let Madam Lu in?”
Jiang Huai: “……?!”
Madam what?
The assistant didn’t think there was anything wrong with calling him that, but the rest of the employees were shocked. They looked at the frail Jiang Huai in front of them, and their eyes couldn’t help but wander around his face.
Mrs. Lu is actually such a… boy?
Looking at Jiang Huai’s face, no one would have thought that he is already 22 years old this year.
If you don’t tell people, people would believe he is seventeen or eighteen.
Besides, whose child is he holding? I haven’t heard that Mr. Lu has a child.
Jiang Huai was still a little nervous in front of so many people. It was not until the assistant opened the door of the ward for him and the housekeeper that he smiled shyly and hurried in.
Inside the door, Lu Wusui was awake. When he saw him come in carrying the child, he subconsciously smiled.
The door of the ward was closed.
There was an explosion outside the door.
”No wonder you guys said you wanted to ship this couple before. Now I understand why you wanted to ship them.”
”Fuck, is Mr. Lu’s wife so pretty? he’s so cute and petite. When he smiled at me just now, my fucking heart melted.”
”He’s still holding a baby. Is that his and Mr. Lu’s child?”
”Did you see that? Mr. Lu smiled when he saw Mrs. Lu just now. I have worked at Lu’s for so many years, but I have never seen him smile so happily.”
In the ward.
Jiang Huai was a little nervous. He handed the baby to the housekeeper, sat next to Lu Wusui, and asked him, “Lu Wusui, are you okay?”
Lu Wusui smiled as he entered the room.
There was no expression on his face anymore.
His gaze fell lightly on Lu Zimao in the butler’s arms, and then moved away – no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
When he raised his head, the first thing he said to Jiang Huai was: “My name is Lu Wusui?”
Jiang Huai was stunned.
The butler and assistant behind him also looked at each other.
Lu Wusui still looked serious, “It seemed like I had a dream just now. After waking up, I can’t remember many things, but I still remember that you are my wife.”
Jiang Huai was completely dumbfounded.
He was stunned for a long time before he squeezed out a few words from his throat: “Lost, lost memory?”
”Maybe,” Lu Wusui said vaguely, “But if you are my wife, why do you call me so strangely?”
”Shouldn’t you call me husband?”
