Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Then Bring Them Home for Now
The next day, Qin Wenhao woke up bright and early.
When he got out of bed, he glanced over at Fu Mingxue.
Seeing that her blanket only covered half of her, he hesitated for a couple of seconds before walking over to pull it up for her.
The moment he touched the blanket, Fu Mingxue jolted awake and snapped, "What do you think you’re doing?"
Qin Wenhao was speechless. ’...Is she taking me for some kind of pervert?’
His face instantly darkened. In a gruff voice, he said, "I was pulling up your blanket."
Fu Mingxue was wide awake now.
She said, embarrassed, "Sorry. I—I’m just not used to this yet!"
’Oh, god. This is so awkward.’
’And besides, why was he being so nice?’
’Anyone would get a huge scare if they were woken up first thing in the morning by a man pulling at their blanket.’
Qin Wenhao looked at her. "Looks like I’ll have to get you used to it sooner rather than later."
Fu Mingxue was speechless. ’...?’
’That really won’t be necessary.’
"You’re up so early? How are the children? Do they have fevers?"
"No."
Qin Wenhao turned to leave.
He took a few steps, then turned back. "It’s only five-thirty. You can go back to sleep."
But Fu Mingxue couldn’t possibly sleep now.
She quickly got out of bed. "I don’t have any toiletries here. Since the two kids are still asleep, I’ll head home for a bit and come back later."
Qin Wenhao nodded. "Alright. You don’t need to rush back. It’s fine if you come later."
Fu Mingxue calmly put on her jacket.
Before leaving, she felt both children’s foreheads, and only left after making sure their temperatures were normal.
Qin Wenhao took note of her actions.
It took Fu Mingxue a twenty-minute walk to get back to her front door.
"Mom, open the door."
Mrs. Fu was already awake. The moment she heard her daughter’s voice, she hurried to open the door.
"Why’re you back so early? How are the two kids?"
"The children should be fine now. I just came back to wash up." She felt gross, having only been able to rinse her mouth the night before.
Mrs. Fu quickly ushered her inside.
"There’s hot water ready. I’ll go get it for you—"
"Mom, you don’t have to. I can get it myself."
Fu Mingxue did more than just wash up. She also took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
When she was done, Mrs. Fu had her come over for a quick breakfast.
"In a little while, you should take some for your husband and the children, too. I made congee for the two kids."
"Mom, you even made steamed buns." Fu Mingxue was astonished.
’Her mom was unbelievably fast!’
"I thought we didn’t have any yeast?"
"We do. I brought some. I had that stuff packed in my bags. By the way, when is our luggage supposed to arrive?"
"Sometime in the next few days, I guess."
Fu Mingxue quickly finished eating.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu had packed up everything they needed.
"Should I go with you?"
"Mom, don’t worry about it. I’ll just bring the two children over here in a little while."
’Even though she had only met her mother-in-law and that sister-in-law yesterday, she had a feeling that sister-in-law was going to be a handful.’
’Since she had accepted these two children as her own, and they were going to call her ’Mom’ anyway, she might as well bring them over to her mother’s place to look after them for now.’
’After all, it wasn’t like she could move into the Qin family home right now.’
Mrs. Fu paused for a second, but then nodded quickly. "Alright."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Qin and Lan Qingman had arrived at the hospital room.
Lan Qingman’s eyes swept around the hospital room. "Oh? Is my sister-in-law not here?"
Mrs. Qin also looked at her son.
Qin Wenhao said, "I had her go home this morning. I told her she could come back later."
Lan Qingman said with a laugh, "Oh, for a second there, I thought our sister-in-law didn’t even stay at the hospital last night!"
