Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat. After we eat, I'll take you to the hospital so we can go see her mother."

"Um!"

The mother and son went downstairs.

Upon arriving at the restaurant,

"Auntie, have some red wine."

"No, no, Auntie doesn't drink alcohol."

"Then let's drink juice."

The meal was very plentiful, with six dishes.

The three of them ate together, with the nanny watching over them, which made Wenxiu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Xiao Tan, your mother is in the hospital. Do you want me to bring her some food?"

"No need, the hospital has a cafeteria, and staff are with my mom, so someone will bring her food."

"oh!"

Half an hour later...

After eating,

"Xiao Tan, let's go to the hospital."

"OK!"

Ding Yang drove Tan Yan and his mother to the hospital.

"Xiaoyang, stop by on the way and buy a bouquet of flowers."

"oh!"

Wenxiu brought carnations and lilies to the ward.

Tan's mother, dressed in a hospital gown, was sitting on the edge of the bed eating, with her caregiver, Xiao Liu, by her side.

"Aunt!"

"Xiaoyang, you're back."

"Auntie, this is my mother, Ms. Wenxiu."

"Mom, this is Yan'er's mother."

Wenxiu smiled and said, "Hello, big sister!"

Hello, hello!

Aunt Tan quickly put the food away.

"Sit down!"

The nanny, Xiao Liu, accepted the flowers.

"Sister, please continue eating."

"We've finished eating, please have a seat."

"Thank you so much for coming all this way to see me."

"Of course!"

"I didn't expect you to be so young. Xiao Yang is so handsome; he must have inherited your genes."

"Not at all, you're too kind."

Ding Yang asked, "Auntie, how have you been feeling these past two days?"

"Fortunately, I only need two IV drips a day and I'm fine. It's just a hand injury, but I can walk, so I could actually be discharged and go home."

"Auntie, don't rush to be discharged. You can't move around too much after having the steel pins in. If they loosen, the bones won't heal properly. Listen to the doctor and rest in the hospital for a few more days. You should stay for at least a week."

"Sigh, I just have too much free time."

"Xiaoyang, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. I came over right after I finished eating."

"oh!"

"How are your grandparents?"

"It's great. We had over 40 tables for Grandma's birthday party, and she was very happy."

"That's good!"

We spent more than half an hour in the ward chatting about all sorts of things.

The three then left the ward.

Ding Yang said, "Yan'er, I'll take you home. I'll take my mom out for a walk and buy some things while we're at it."

"Honey, I'll go with you."

"No need. You're pregnant, so the baby should be the priority. Better safe than sorry. Wait for me at home, I'll come back for dinner tonight."

"Alright then!"

When the three returned home, Ding Yang helped Tan Yan out of the car.

"Yan'er, take a nap this afternoon."

"Um!"

"Baby, why did you suddenly stop calling me 'sister' and start calling me 'Yan'er'?"

"Yan'er, you'll be my wife from now on. Calling you 'sister' makes it sound like you're so old. I'll call you Yan'er, just like your mother, it feels much closer."

"Yes, I like it when you call me that. Take Auntie out for some fun, go to MixC to buy some clothes or something, and bring your card."

"understood."

Ding Yang drove towards MixC Mall.

Send Wang Chan a text message: "I'm going to MixC. Come to MixC and wait for me in the underground parking garage."

"Mom, how's it going? What do you think of her mother?"

"Sigh, I can't really explain it, but it just feels weird, like I've wronged you."

"Mom, I'm not wronged at all. To be honest, even though I'm a kept man, I'm actually living off her. They have to listen to me."

"Tan Yan originally had a younger brother, who passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, so I am also considered a son by them, and they have always treated me very well."

"Sigh, Mom doesn't know what to say to you."

"Xiaoyang, where are we going?"

"MixC in Luohu, the most luxurious and high-end shopping mall in Shenzhen, let's go shopping for some clothes."

"No need, why go there? Mom brought clothes."

"Mom, as the saying goes, 'Even Buddha needs gold plating, and a horse needs a saddle.' Since we're already here, let's choose two sets."

"I noticed you're wearing a watch. Let's go pick one out later."

"No need, why would I buy it? It's not your money, and Mom doesn't want to be a kept woman."

"Mom, why do you care whose money it is? Just remember that it was your son who bought it for you."

Not long after, Ding Yang parked his car in the underground garage.

Enter MixC,

"Xiaoyang, Mom isn't interested in buying luxury goods, nor does she have the means to do so. I'd like to take a look at your house instead."

"Okay, after we buy the things, I'll take you to see the house, but I didn't bring the keys."

"Just go to the neighborhood and have the saleswoman show you some apartments with the same layout."

"Alright!"

Arriving on the first floor, we found the GUCCI flagship store.

Welcome!

"Mom, choose whatever you like, don't be shy. We'll only consider whether it suits you, not the price."

Wenxiu stopped being coy and chose a beige silk shirt and a pair of light brown linen suit pants.

"Mom, let's buy some more."

"It's not that interesting anymore, let's go to the next store."

"Swipe your card."

More than 2!

On the second floor, I went to the Armani store and picked out another suit: a "lean, tailored summer suit".

"Swipe your card!"

More than 3.

The saleswoman was probably trying to flatter him: "Sir, your girlfriend looks really good in this suit."

"What the hell are you looking at? This is my own mother!"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't realize your mother was so young. She looks to be only in her thirties."

Wenxiu laughed and said, "Really? Am I that young?"

Ding Yang said, "Beautiful lady, do you have two eyes just for breathing? Don't try to flatter someone who's really hurting them."

"This is my own mother. Do you think I'm dating a rich woman? Don't you see how much I look like her?"

"puff!"

Wenxiu smiled.

The woman blushed, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Stepping out of the shop,

"Xiaoyang, let's not buy it. It's too expensive. We'll buy it when you have more money in the future."

"Mom, that's an Omega. I'll buy you a watch there."

"No."

"It's alright. I got her pregnant. Buying a few things is nothing. I've done a great job. Don't worry about these things. Tan Yan isn't an ordinary rich woman. Her assets are in the hundreds of millions. Buy whatever you want."

When Wenxiu arrived at Omega, she chose a Constellation series watch for 24,000 NTD, which wasn't too expensive.

After leaving the store,

"Xiaoyang, Mom couldn't bear to buy luxury goods even in the US, but now she can pick and choose whatever she wants."

"Mom, a few months ago I was so stingy that I didn't dare to add an extra egg to my fried noodles. I rode my beat-up motorcycle around picking up passengers, braving wind and rain, and I couldn't even earn a few dozen yuan a day."

"Life is sometimes really like a play; you never know how the next plot will unfold."

"In any case, those days of extreme poverty are gone forever for me."

"Mom, this is a terrible money age. A man without money is a dead soul. All those ideals are a joke."

"Sigh, I don't know what to say to you. Maybe you made the right choice."

"Since you think your choice is right, then live a good life with Tan Yan. I won't say anything more."
