Chapter 867: Chapter 861: Dad An and Mom An_1
After leaving Qin Xueâs home, An Hao went to Xiao Qiâs house not far away. Xiao Qi has been disturbed recently because he constantly dreams of Chu Beiying. He doesnât eat or sleep well and has a pile of things to worry about. After An Hao arrived, he gave her a key to his house before heading off to work. He suggested she visit Qin Xue if she got bored, instead of staying home alone.
Given that Xiao Qi was not home, An Hao took her bag, Chu Xiaoqiao, and went to Qin Xueâs house, planning to stay there. This arrangement was a good one for now. After speaking to Qin Xue, An Hao realized that her previous thoughts were too risky. Continuing down that path could affect the development of the baby in her belly.
She now felt relieved that she had discussed the matter with Qin Xue. No matter what, her parentsâ issues were their own. As a grown daughter, and now a mother herself, she realized that meddling too much might not be helpful. Hence, she decided to stop poking her nose into their affairs.
âHello, this is An Ruge. Who are you looking for?â An Ruge was not working today. He planned to accompany his wife to the hospital for surgery. The phone rang just as he was about to leave the house.
âDad, itâs me, Anâan.â It took An Hao a few moments before she could speak after hearing her fatherâs voice.
âAnâan, is something wrong? Donât worry. Iâm about to take your mother to the hospital for surgery.â Hearing his daughterâs voice, An Ruge thought she was calling to urge them to hurry to the hospital. So, his initial response was to reassure her.
âŠ
âDad, thatâs not what I meant. Listen to me, I think you should keep the baby.â An Hao was unsure how to exactly broach the topic with her parents. But after hearing her fatherâs remarks, she understood that her parents did love her. Otherwise, they would not go as far as aborting the baby because of her opinion. She thought it might still not be too late to stop them. The implication from her fatherâs words was that they had not gone to the hospital yet.
âRuge, who is on the phone? Donât talk for too long. We need to leave for the hospital.â Xiao Xiangâer came out in her coat and saw her husband on the phone. She reminded him of their scheduled surgery appointment. Although they were reluctant to let the baby go, their daughter did not want it, so they decided not to have the child. They knew they owed her a lot, and they wanted to do what would make her happy.
An Ruge stood frozen after hearing An Haoâs words. He didnât hear his wife. He stood fixed, holding the phone, not saying a word.
âRuge, what are you thinking about?â Xiao Xiangâer saw her husband standing there, not saying a word, not moving, not knowing who was on the other end of the line.
âUh, Xiangâer, what were you saying?â An Ruge asked her, coming back to his senses after his wifeâs call.
âI said, finish your call quickly. We should go to the hospital soon. Otherwise, the doctor will leave.â Xiao Xiangâer looked at her husband, clueless about what he was thinking.
An Hao heard her parentsâ conversation on the other end of the call. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face. She realized that she had been wrong. Although her parents rarely spent time with her, they genuinely loved her. At this moment, An Hao felt sure about her parentsâ affection for her.
âXiangâer, itâs Anâan on the phone.â An Ruge told his wife.
âAnâan, is she okay? What did she say? Give me the phone. Let me talk to her.â When Xiao Xiangâer heard it was her daughterâs call, she went to take the phone from her husbandâs hand.
âAnâan, itâs your mother. Are you okay?â Xiao Xiangâer didnât expect her daughter would call. She shared the same thoughts as her husband, assuming their daughter had called to hasten them to the hospital for the procedure. She knew their daughterâs motives, but some things were not as straightforward to deal with, even for her, Xiao Xiangâer. First came their allegiance to their country before home. This was what she and her husband had always lived by.
