Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 919

Chapter 919: Chapter 920: Can’t Be Softhearted

Shen Qiuye saw her daughter and was full of concern: "Gaodi called me, so I rushed over."

As she got closer, she couldn’t help but express her frustration: "You’re already a mother of two, and now you’re carrying another one. Can’t you change your temper?"

Duan Zhuangyu playfully leaned her head on Shen Qiuye’s arm: "Mom, I’m like this now, please stop nagging."

Shen Qiuye poked her on the head with a finger: "Luckily, the child is fine, otherwise you’ll regret it."

Huo Gaodi placed the food he brought on the bedside table: "It’s past mealtime, so just eat a bite for now. The doctor will check you again later, and if everything’s fine, you can go home."

Duan Zhuangyu noticed Huo Gaodi’s cold face. Clearly, he disliked the bowl, but she didn’t dare act out. Yet, she was hesitant to make a move.

Huo Gaodi saw her hesitation: "We didn’t bring anything. That bowl was borrowed from the hospital cafeteria staff. What’s with all the fuss?"

The implication was, if you’re picky, then stay hungry.

Since her daughter got married, her son-in-law hadn’t been this cold. She quickly gave her daughter a look: "When you’re out, there’s no room for being fussy."

Duan Zhuangyu, with a mild obsession with cleanliness, looked at that black stain on the wristband and lost her appetite completely.

Seeing she wasn’t eating, Huo Gaodi didn’t press further. Watching the IV needle nearly empty, he left the room: "Nurse, the IV is almost done. Could you please remove it?"

The nurse, busy with her work, replied: "Just a moment, I’ll be right there."

Shen Qiuye continued urging her daughter: "Since it’s here, eat just a little."

Duan Zhuangyu covered her mouth and said: "Mom, since we’re leaving, let’s cook after we get home."

Huo Gaodi didn’t avoid the issue: "Zhuangyu, people can’t stay stuck in place forever. As time passes, you should become more mature and composed. But you...

Xiao Qian is already nine years old this year, yet you’re still as naive as ever. Some things I can’t explain to you, so let your parents talk to you instead.

These words infuriated Duan Zhuangyu greatly, and while Huo Gaodi was concerned about her health, he knew he couldn’t be soft-hearted, as there were only two possible outcomes.

In the first outcome, their family would grow frustrated and tired of Zhuangyu’s actions.

In the second outcome, their marriage would end, and they would go their separate ways.

Thus, he couldn’t be soft-hearted. He had to make her change her ways.
