"Oh!" Liu Longwei exclaimed. "That means you are not pregnant," He continued.
"No, am not," Chen Lihua admitted.
"That's fine," Liu Longwei replied as he kissed her hair and hugged her to sleep.
The next morning, Madam Liu phoned Chen Lihua before she left for the hospital.
The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law spoke for a while. Then Chen Lihua promised to visit the weekend after her scheduled surgery after madam Liu relayed the old lady's message to her.
After speaking with her mother-in-law, Chen Lihua told Liu Longwei about the call. The latter said he would go with her, but Chen Lihua refused, saying it was a ladies thing. So Liu Longwei could only agree with her.
This same morning, Aunt Lin's ex came over to see her. He was looking a lot better than the last few days. He seemed to have overcome all his troubles and embraced joy and peace.
