Chapter 20

The next morning at 5:30.

Sui Jingxing woke up following his biological clock and found Lu Anning sleeping soundly in his arms with her hand on his chest.

He tried to pull her hands off his body. Lu Anning hummed unconsciously twice. He quickly stuffed the quilt into her arms.

Holding the thing, Lu Anning seemed to feel safe. He just turned over and did not wake up.

Looking at her behavior, Sui Jingxing felt somewhat relieved, yet inexplicably discouraged.

It turns out that she doesn’t need to hold him while sleeping, she can hold anything.

With this realization, he instantly became extremely depressed. He didn’t know how to describe his mood at the moment. It was a bit strange.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu’s mother turned around and looked over.

“What’s wrong? Were there mosquito bites again last night? I even used mosquito coils to fumigate your room for an hour.”

Seeing his expressionless face, Lu’s mother asked worriedly.

In the past, Jingxing’s face was expressionless, which was the most common state. However, when he faced his family, he would not be so cold, but would show a little more warmth.

“No, I just woke up and felt a little confused.”

He couldn’t possibly admit to his mother-in-law that he was so unhappy with the quilt in their room that he wanted to throw it away!

“Go wash your face and wake up.”

“Hurry up, follow my morning training!”

When Mr. Lu, who was outside the house, saw him, he immediately shouted at him softly with the most ferocious expression.

He didn’t want to be nice to this brat for the time being, but when he thought of his precious daughter who was still sleeping in the house, he couldn’t help but lower his voice.

“Coming right up!”

It took three minutes to wash up in the bathroom, and after coming out, the father-in-law and son-in-law ran to the training ground.

Lu Anning in the room slept until 7:15.

I touched the seat next to me and it was already cold.

It seemed that she did not sleep with Sui Jingxing in her arms last night. Knowing this, she rolled around happily on the bed, then somersaulted up from the bed.

“Lu Anning, why are you up so early today? Did you get enough sleep?”

“Um.”

“Go wash up quickly, we just got to the table, and we’ll have breakfast together when you come.”

She wanted to refuse, but from what she had known about Lu’s mother in the past few days, she knew that she was stubborn about doting on her in a different way than she was about other things.

Instead of spending time persuading her, which may not be effective in the end, it is better to speed up the washing and come over to eat.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face with a basin of clean water. After drying the water, she applied some Friendship brand vanishing cream that Lu’s mother bought for her, truly achieving the so-called streamlined skin care.

The original owner was young, with skin full of collagen. She didn’t need to spend time on maintenance. Her skin was still fair, smooth, delicate and extremely supple.

“Come here quickly. I cooked your favorite millet porridge this morning and added a spoonful of sugar for you.”

Only Lu Anning likes to add sugar to his porridge, while the rest of them prefer the taste without sugar.

“Thanks, Mom.”

She touched her chest and spent about thirty seconds trying to compose two single notes.

During this period, the best sound she made was “hmm”.

Last night, while Sui Jingxing was still here, she practiced several words that are frequently used in daily life, such as Dad, Mom, Thank you, No, OK…

She didn’t want to take out a notebook and pen every time she answered a question.

I simply treated myself as a baby who couldn’t talk and practiced slowly, one word at a time.

If one time doesn’t work, then say it ten times, a hundred times, or even thousands of times. She believes that God will not let down those who work hard!

After she made the two sounds, Lu Anning herself was relatively calm and didn’t feel anything, but Lu’s father and mother, who were sitting at the table, were a little dazed.

Especially Lu’s mother, she hasn’t heard her daughter call her “Mom” for almost eleven years.

Lu Anning didn’t learn to speak words until she was almost four years old. At that time, she would call “Mom”. Although her pronunciation was very slow and a little non-standard, she did call her mom at all.

It was not until she was nine years old and went to school that she began to close her only language ability and stopped talking. Simple titles such as “Dad” and “Mom” were rarely heard from her.

“Okay, this is a good thing, don’t cry.”

When Mr. Lu heard his daughter calling people again, he was also very excited. Although she was not calling dad, she had already started calling mom, so how far could it be to call dad?

“Lu Anning, please sit down and eat.”

Father Lu gently stroked Mother Lu’s back to help her recover quickly, and invited Lu Anning to sit down and eat.

“Yes! Eat!”

“I’m just so happy.”

Lu Anning did not expect her parents to be so excited, but it was normal when she thought about it. After all, the original owner had not spoken for about ten years.

Thinking of the original owner, she felt a little annoyed. Some of this little girl’s behaviors were really too extreme.

If she had kept talking before, even if it was just single words coming out of her mouth, perhaps she wouldn’t have had such difficulty practicing speaking now.

Forget it, there’s no point in complaining now. Things have already come to this, and she can only work hard on her own.

“Jingxing, after breakfast, you can go back to work and resume training. Lu Anning will be with us here.”

“good.”

This was actually his plan. He had to save some time off to accompany Lu Anning to the city for treatment.

“Lu Anning, Dad will take you out to play on his bike later.”

“We’ll go wherever you want to go.”

“good.”

She was not familiar with the area and could not say where she wanted to go.

Given the original owner’s personality of not liking to go out for a walk, she would be more comfortable and at ease staying at home.

However, seeing the expectant look on Lu’s father’s face, she still agreed.

After dinner, I went to training with Jingxing.

A few minutes after he left, Shen Meihong came to their house carrying a large bag of things.

“Meihong, what are you doing? You treated us to delicious food and drinks yesterday, and today you brought such a big bag of food over. Are you preparing for your own home?”

“Look at my memory. I originally asked you to pick these up last night, but I forgot in the end.”

“These are supplements that Yuan Yi and his brothers and sisters sent to us from all over the place. Lao Chen and I are both in good health and not old enough to need to take a lot of supplements. They will go bad if left at home for too long. This Unning has eaten something bad, and her body needs something good to take care of itself. It’s just right to give them to her.”

Shen Meihong did not allow them to refuse and put the things directly on the table.

“Lu Anning, thank Aunt Shen quickly.”

“Thanks.”

“Don’t be so polite. There’s more at home. When you finish eating, your aunt will give you some.”

“Speaking of your children, how is Yuan Shuo’s wife doing now? Has she recovered?”

“It’s healed now, but after this caesarean section, the couple would never dare to have another child again.”

“Okay, we already have a son and a daughter, there’s no need to have more.”

“Old Chen and I thought the same thing. Yangyang is the only daughter in the family, and we wanted them to have another boy, who would then have the surname Xu.”

“Wouldn’t it be fine for Yuan Shuo and his wife to take care of their parents together in the future? Why do they have to have a boy to carry on the family line?”

“I think so too, but they have this expectation. As in-laws, we can’t just stand and speak without any hesitation. It’s not easy for us to comment on this matter. Let them communicate on their own.”

“Too.”

“Lu Anning needs to gain some weight. Your sister-in-law Yang Yang was too thin. She couldn’t give birth to the baby she had in her belly, which weighed 25 pounds. She had to have a caesarean section and suffered a lot.”

“……”

Could she say that she and Sui Jingxing were not actually husband and wife?
