”Hua'er, is that you? ”Hua'er …” He only heard a sound, but the person on the bed didn't open his eyes. It was a voice as weak as sleep talking, making one involuntarily think that it was an illusion.
”Don't, don't hurt my child, don't …” The dream-like voice rang out again. Only when they saw the bloodless lips slightly open did they confirm that it was Bu Jinghua speaking the truth. Bu Jinghua was indeed awake. He was truly awake.
”Hua'er, you're awake! That's great!” Bu Batian could not help but step forward. He anxiously looked at his granddaughter with a frown.
”Hua Er, you're really awake …” Long Yan was so happy that he couldn't believe what he was seeing. ”Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! Quickly come and see her! She's awake! She's awake!”
”Oh, oh …” He didn't think that this girl's vitality would be so valiant. The unprepared imperial physician immediately put down the pen in his hand and rushed over to take her pulse.
”Go, go …” However, the imperial physician's hand was flung away by Bu Jinghua's powerless hand. Her pupils slightly widened as she glared at the imperial physician with cold eyes filled with disgust, ”Who dares to hurt my child? ”Let it go!” Even though she was still very weak, her words were very firm. Even the imperial physician was shocked and didn't dare to make a move.
If not for the teacher constantly whispering in her ear when she was in a coma, if the teacher had not told her that she was pregnant, if she had not known that someone was trying to hurt her child, she would not have wanted to wake up now.
”This …” The imperial physician stood there blankly, looking at Long Yan with an awkward expression. The domineering attitude of the fourth prince's consort was comparable to that of the fourth prince's! How would he dare to move around?
”Hua'er, be good. No one dares to harm our child. If anyone dares to harm him, I will definitely take his life!” Long Yan held onto Bu Jinghua's hand, and his gentle voice was filled with an unquestionable toughness. The imperial physician on the side couldn't help but shiver and wail in his heart, ”If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have mentioned it. But now, I've become their sworn enemy.”
”Em, since the fourth prince's consort has woken up, everything is fine. This humble one will go down and prescribe some medicine to help with the recovery of the fetus. I believe that after some time, the fourth prince's consort will be completely well!” The imperial physician gave a deep bow and immediately tried to salvage the situation, hoping to escape calamity.
”Alright, you can leave now!” Luckily, Bu Batian was the first to open his mouth and let them pass. The imperial physician was slightly relieved and immediately packed up his stuff and left the room. As for Bu Batian, he also left. As long as his good granddaughter had him in her heart and lived a happy life, he would be satisfied.
Furthermore, his grandson-in-law wasn't that bad. When he was foolish, he already felt that he was pretty good, and when he wasn't, he became more and more satisfied. He was simply a dragon among men.
Hehe, looks like my good granddaughter does have some foresight.
Only Bu Jinghua, who was half lying on the bed, and Long Yan, who was standing beside the bed, remained in the room. They looked at each other in silence.
”I …”
”I …”
After a long silence, both of them felt that they could not stand watching each other silently. Thus, they wanted to break the silence, but the fact that they both opened their mouths at the same time made them feel awkward, and the atmosphere became rather ambiguous.
”Oh, you just woke up and should be hungry. Here, I'll feed you some congee!” Long Yan frantically went to the table to bring out a bowl of porridge. It was unknown how long he had been there for, but the porridge had already become a little cold. Long Yan tested it and found that it was awkward!
”Someone, come …” Damn it, how did these servants do it? Shouldn't these be ready at all times?
”Fourth Prince, your servant's path is right here. I've specially made Miss's favorite food, mixed broth porridge!” Since the day that Bu Jinghua disappeared, she had been in a daze. Fortunately, she did not make fun of him behind his back like the others did. Otherwise, her days in the future would have been miserable. However, she was more worried about Bu Jinghua. She did not expect the young miss to fall unconscious as soon as she returned. Luckily, she was awake now. Otherwise, how sad would her path be?
”Cough cough, then hurry up and bring it in!” Mixed gruel? This name was really special. She actually liked to eat this kind of porridge! He had even placed the congee in front of her. It seemed that he still did not understand her well enough!
”Yes sir!” Even though Long Yan's voice was still considered gentle, the path was still very careful and didn't dare to slow down at all. She carried a bowl of steaming hot mixed porridge and placed it on the table, then after looking worriedly at Bu Jinghua, who was still weak on the bed, she quietly walked out and closed the door. She also knew that even if she wanted to stay with Bu Jinghua, she had to leave some space for the two of them.
The path was also extremely happy for Bu Jinghua.
”Come, let's have some porridge!” Long Yan carried the bowl of porridge to Bu Jinghua and carefully scooped up a spoonful of porridge. After blowing on it, he placed it next to Bu Jinghua's mouth.
Looking at the bowl of porridge, Bu Jinghua wanted to open her mouth, but the fragrance of the porridge suddenly rushed over, causing her to uncontrollably feel nauseous. Instinctively, she avoided the spoonful of porridge in Long Yan's hands.
”What's wrong? Can't eat? You've been sleeping all day. Even if you're not hungry, the child in your stomach should be. For the sake of the child, just eat some! ” Long Yan worriedly advised, and for the first time, he brought up the matter of the child face to face with Bu Jinghua.
The arrival of this child was outside of everyone's expectations. It was such a sudden third party, yet the two of them firmly recognized this child. This child belonged to them, so admitting the existence of the child was equivalent to admitting each other to death.
”Child?” When Long Yan mentioned Bu Jinghua, he could not help but feel sorrowful, ”You, didn't you dislike children?” Just now, he even agreed to the imperial physician letting his child go. Thinking of this, Bu Jinghua felt a wave of sympathy in his heart.
”I don't like it. Who said I don't like it? This is our child! ” Bu Jinghua's words puzzled Long Yan. He had never said that he didn't like her, but why did she think that?
”But just now, you …” Bu Jinghua wanted to continue, but in the end, he pursed his lips. The grief in his heart made her not want to continue.
”Just now?” Suddenly, Long Yan seemed to understand something, ”If you and the child can only choose one, I only want you …” Long Yan's bright eyes stared at the woman who was sad because of the misunderstanding, and suddenly felt a surge of gentleness in her heart. Even her eyes were filled with an intoxicating gentleness, she actually cared so much about the child between them. Did that mean that she also cared about him?
Long Yan was pleasantly surprised by this bit of consciousness.
Listening to Long Yan's explanation, Bu Jinghua's heart was in disarray like a little deer bumping into its prey. A sweet and irrepressible feeling immediately followed. It turned out that she had misunderstood him.
”Alright, stop thinking about these things. Now that you are awake, everything will be fine. The current you, your most important task is to rest well, take good care of your body and take good care of the child in your stomach. And I will always be by your side to take good care of you! ” Long Yan sat beside Bu Jinghua and lovingly said a series of words. He looked like he was about to get wet.
Hearing these words, how could Bu Jinghua not dare to move? No matter how cold she was, she was still a woman. If a woman had a man like that for her, no matter how cruel she was, she would still soften her heart.
”En!” Bu Jinghua nodded. Even though she was still controlling herself not to reveal too much joy, the smile on her face was obviously a betrayal. Right now, she was truly very happy.
