Chapter 189 That and This

As Chen Nanxing and Nana woke up one after another, they were able to avoid any harm from accidentally eating mushrooms.

The next morning, after a day of observation and confirmation that they were fine, they were discharged from the hospital.

As for the rest, you just need to go back and recuperate for a few days and pay attention to your diet.

"Gulu gulu~~"

The white porridge is rolling in the pot, and the beef marinated with shacha sauce, cooking oil and cornstarch is poured in. Then add some galangal and celery, and finally sprinkle some salt for seasoning. A bowl of raw beef porridge is ready.

Chen Mo brought the porridge to the room, "Come, eat something first. If you feel sleepy, go to bed and sleep for a while later."

Xu Hongdou, who was dozing on the sofa, opened her eyes, smiled and nodded.

In fact, her mental state has recovered a lot, but her face still looks a little weak and her body is weak.

"Mmm~ It smells so good."

Xu Hongdou smelled it, picked up the spoon and couldn't wait to taste it.

Chen Mo smiled and reminded, "Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

"Yeah." Xu Hongdou responded vaguely and quickly finished the bowl of porridge.

Chen Mo asked, "Do you want more?"

"I'm full." Xu Hongdou patted her belly without caring much about her image, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Chen Mo smiled knowingly, "How about making some chicken soup tonight? Or fish head soup would be good too."

"If I keep eating and sleeping like this, I will probably gain several pounds in the next few days." Xu Hongdou felt a little bit of happy distress.

Chen Mo smiled gently, "You can't be too thin. When people are really sick, they need to rely on fat to consume it."

Xu Hongdou joked to herself, "Then I'll have to go and weigh myself to see if I've lost weight. If I have, then my suffering this time won't be in vain."

Chen Mo was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "When I heard that you were in the hospital, I actually regretted letting you stay here to start a business."

"You're so far away from me. If something really happens, like this time, I won't be able to get here in time."

Xu Hongdou held Chen Mo's hand and shook it, "Oh, it's not that serious, it was just an accident this time. Look, I'm fine now, right?"

"Besides, Nanxing and Nana are always there whenever there's something going on. It was just a coincidence this time, and everyone got caught up in the middle."

"If you were here at that time, we might both have to lie down together now." Xu Hongdou joked, "It's not like now. At least you can come and take care of me."

Chen Mo felt angry and amused when listening to Xu Hongdou's "sophistry".

"Bell~~"

Just as Xu Hongdou finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Liu Guiqin.

"Hurry, help me answer the phone. Don't let my mom know and worry about me."

Xu Hongdou quickly handed the phone to Chen Mo. Judging from her current expression and state, it was obvious that something was wrong.

Chen Mo did not reach out to take it, but said leisurely: "What if you know, what if you are worried, just tell Auntie directly, if she was here, there would just be one more person lying here now."

"It's not like now. At least she can still video call you to check on you."

"."Xu Hongdou.

"I was wrong." Xu Hongdou clasped her hands together and said with a pitiful look in her eyes, "I shouldn't have avoided the important issue and ignored your concern for my feelings."

"I promise, if anything happens in the future, I will tell you the first time. I will never act alone and won't make you worry, okay?" Chen Mo glanced and saw Xu Hongdou's sincere attitude, then he reached out and took the phone.

After the video call was connected, Chen Mo waved to Liu Guiqin with a smile.

"Auntie, have you eaten yet?"

"It's Xiao Mo, not yet, your uncle is making dumplings."

When Liu Guiqin saw that it was Chen Mo, she also smiled.

"Really? What kind of filling did you make today? I've been missing your dumplings since the last time I went there."

"Pork, green onions and leeks. If you like it, come back with Dou'er next time and I'll make it for you."

Chen Mo blinked, "If Dou'er isn't here, can I go by myself? Dou'er is quite busy, and I don't know how long I'll have to wait for her."

Liu Guiqin smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, of course, when you come over, just tell auntie, the room at home will always be reserved for you."

Xu Hongdou next to her blinked, listening to her mother and Chen Mo chatting back and forth. They were so engrossed in the conversation that they seemed to have forgotten that the call was originally meant for her, its daughter.

Is it true that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him?
Fortunately, when the call was about to end, Liu Guiqin finally remembered the incident and asked, "By the way, why didn't I see Dou'er?"

Chen Mo glanced at Xu Hongdou who was shaking her head at him and said casually:
"Hongdou and Nanxing are downstairs, and they seem to be discussing the renovation of the B&B. Her phone was out of battery and she put it in the room to charge. Please wait a moment, I will call her for you."

As he said this, Chen Mo pretended to stand up.

Liu Guiqin waved her hand, "No, no, I don't have anything to do either, let her do her job first."

Hearing this, Chen Mo sat down again and said, "Then I'll ask her to call you back later."

Liu Guiqin smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's okay. Anyway, I know you are there, so I feel relieved."

After ending the call, Chen Mo handed the phone back to Xu Hongdou, shook his head and sighed:

"Don't make me play this kind of cover next time. I won't lie."

Xu Hongdou held Chen Mo's head with both hands and laughed, "Not to mention the way you coaxed my mother to a state of confusion just now, just the nonsense you just said makes me doubt whether there is any truth in what you said to me before."

Chen Mo's eyes widened. "Wow, what you said is really hurtful. It's because of you that I violated my usual principle of 'treating others with sincerity'."

Xu Hongdou rubbed Chen Mo's face with her soft palms. "Your principles are really flexible."

Chen Mo's face was squeezed, and he said incoherently: "My principles are based on yours."

Xu Hongdou snorted, let go of her hand, and asked seriously, "You came here suddenly, is BJ's work okay?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "You are the most important."

Xu Hongdou said helplessly: "I'm serious. I'm fine now. If you have something to do, just go and do it. You don't have to stay here to look after me the whole time."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I am serious. Things over there are temporarily finished. This time I will stay here for a while longer to accompany you."

Xu Hongdoumei was slightly delighted, "Really?"

Chen Mo said with a smile: "You looked like you wanted to chase me away just now."

Xu Hongdou said softly: "I just don't want you to always indulge me."

Chen Mo shook his head and said softly: "When two people like each other, many things are no longer just one person's business."

"You said you would tell me if there was anything, but when you want to tell me, I have to be by your side."
