After staying in the hospital for a few days, Xu Dong's wounds were almost healed. If He Hong hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to leave the hospital two days earlier.

He Hong insisted that she wait for the doctor to review her, and if there were no problems, she could be discharged.

She knew that He Hong was doing it for her own good, so she had no choice but to continue to stay in the hospital.

"Mom, I brought you breakfast."

He Hong came with Xu Lu, and Xu Lu handed Xu Dong the millet porridge in his hand, "Eat it while it's hot.

The two of them had been together for a few days, and in the eyes of outsiders, they looked like a father and son.

"Thank you son."

Xu Dong sat cross-legged on the hospital bed and drank porridge. She had been eating almost all kinds of porridge these days. Fortunately, she quite liked it.

She lost a few pounds by eating a light diet.

"Here, let's get some protein."

He Hong peeled the eggs and put them into Xu Dong's porridge.

"Thank you."

Xu Dong looked at He Hong, "It's been really hard on you these past few days. You are a grown man working and helping to take care of the children."

"Lulu has a strong ability to take care of himself and doesn't need me to do anything for him."

He Hong smiled and said, "With him here, I feel less lonely. We play Lego together, play games together, and even swim together. He is really smart, and I only taught him a few times, and he can

Swimming."

Although he is an old man, he is actually afraid of loneliness. It is indeed more lively when there are many children around.

"Mom, I live at my uncle's house and I'm very happy."

Xu Lu answered, "Uncle's house is so comfortable. It has everything, and uncle even plays with me."

"So happy that you can't bear to go back to your own home?"

Xu Dong smiled, "What should we do? Mom is discharged from the hospital and we are going home."

Xu Lu looked at the two of them and said something shocking, "Mom, hurry up and marry your uncle, and we can live together."

Xu Dong was extremely embarrassed. He never expected that Xu Lu would say this.

"I would like to get married as soon as possible."

He Hong nodded generously, "But you still need your mother's consent.

"I don't want to be too hasty."

Xu Dong shook his head. She didn't want to confirm her relationship with He Hong and get married immediately.

It's too hasty and that's not a good thing.

She felt that the two of them still needed time to settle down and further increase their understanding of each other.

After all, marriage is a lifelong matter and is not as simple as falling in love.

"Okay, if you want to go slower, I will go slower with you."

He Hong was not in a hurry, maybe one day Xu Dong would take the initiative to say that she wanted to get married. Just like she took the initiative to ask him to give her another chance.

"Thank you."

Xu Dong nodded gratefully, knowing that He Hong didn't have to accommodate her like this.

"Fool, I don't want to force you. As the old saying goes, it doesn't taste sweet if you force yourself.

He Hong looked at Xu Dong with a deep look, "Don't have any psychological burden. Whether you are a couple or a husband and wife, just follow your own pace."

"good."

Xu Dong was very touched that He Hong knew how to respect her and let her know that she and he were equal.

The doctor came for a ward check and examined Xu Dong's wound. "He has recovered well and can be discharged from the hospital. Pay more attention to his diet and wait half a month before eating normally again."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to be hospitalized anymore. The reason why she refused to be hospitalized was because she was injured last time and stayed in the hospital for too long. She felt uncomfortable smelling disinfectant.

"I'm going to go through the discharge procedures. You pack your things."

He Hong left the ward and went to the charge desk.

Xu Dong put his personal belongings into his bag and pulled Xu Lu to sit on the sofa and wait.

"Lulu, do you really want Uncle He to be your father?"

"Um."

Xu Lu nodded, "Uncle is really nice. He teaches me how to play difficult games and he doesn't scold me. Even if I accidentally spilled a glass of milk on the floor, he just told me to pay more attention next time."

Xu Lu's words reminded Xu Dong of the time when Lin Hao was still alive. Xu Lu accidentally spilled the milk and was beaten with a belt by him for several minutes.

She rushed to protect Xu Lu and was beaten by him with a belt. It hurt even an adult, let alone a child?

There is no harm without comparison.

He Hong's kindness to Xu Lu made Xu Lu willing to accept him. He exchanged people's hearts for people's hearts.

Xu Dong asked Xu Lu tentatively, "What if after my mother marries Uncle He, my uncle wants her to have another child?"

She knew that the He family could accept her raising a son, but she could not accept that she could not give birth to a son and a half daughter to He Hong.

She also knew that if she cruelly rejected He Hong's proposal to have a child, He Hong would not embarrass her, but was such a marriage really meaningful?

She had to consider all these aspects.

A stable marriage needs to be maintained by children.

Although He Hong said that he would treat Xu Lu as his biological son, this did not prevent him from wanting a truly biological child. She must not be too selfish and pretend to be blind, regardless of He Hong's true thoughts.

"Of course that's good. I've long wanted to be a brother."

Xu Lu nodded happily, "Although the baby born by Aunt Wen Yu is also called my brother, the baby was not born by the mother and has nothing to do with me."

"Aren't you afraid that if your mother has another child, her love for you will diminish?"

What Xu Dong couldn't bear the most was hurting Xu Lu. She had been indebted to him since he was born.

"Not afraid."

Xu Lu shook his head, "Uncle He said that I am a man and I want to protect my mother. If my mother has another baby, I will protect her together."

"Good son."

Xu Dong couldn't help but shed tears. Xu Lu's thoughtfulness and understanding made her feel very distressed.

He Hong completed the discharge procedures and returned to the ward. Seeing Xu Dong crying, he asked in confusion, "Why are you still crying? Is it because the wounds on your body hurt? I'll call the doctor."

"No, I'm fine."

Xu Dong raised his hand to wipe away his tears, took Xu Lu's hand, and stood up from the sofa, "We are going home."

"Mom, we have to go back to my uncle's house first. My schoolbag and toys are still at my uncle's house."

Xu Lu looked up at Xu Dong. She was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

"After lunch at my place, I will take you two back."

He Hong smiled and said, "I asked the butler to prepare the dishes early in the morning. They are all Lulu's favorite food. You can only have porridge for the time being."

"That's...okay."

Xu Dong nodded and agreed. She had entrusted Xu Lu to He Hong to take care of him for a week. It would be too pretentious if she didn't agree. Besides, since the two of them have confirmed their relationship, she will visit He Hong's residence sooner or later.

.

"Let's go."

He Hong took the small bag from Xu Dong's hand and led Xu Lu out.

The two elders are holding the younger one's back, looking like a family of three.

Xu Dong glanced sideways at the two of them and smiled knowingly.
