CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 379:

Fu Tingzhou hurriedly let Tang Xi down, feeling a mixture of joy and excitement, and somewhat at a loss.

This was the first time Tang Xi had seen such emotions on Fu Tingzhou’s face.

Completely different from the calm and indifferent man of the past.

In the past, it seemed as though everything was under his control.

In his world, there were no absolute surprises.

"The wedding is coming up soon. Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up, and then we need to make up a set of indoor wedding photos. There’s still so much to do," Fu Tingzhou had everything planned out, and Tang Xi nodded in agreement.

She raised her hand and touched her abdomen.

Although she wasn’t completely certain she was really pregnant.

But as a doctor herself, Tang Xi could perceive the subtle changes in her own body.

The next morning, Fu Tingzhou took Tang Xi to the hospital.

After an examination, it was confirmed that Tang Xi was pregnant.

Fu Tingzhou was over the moon.

That same morning, Shen Duan called with news—Liang Zheng had been found!

Shen Duan had found Liang Zheng in a small motel.

In a very remote area of North City.

The motel owner, feeling pity for Liang Zheng, gave him a bowl of instant noodles. After Liang Zheng finished eating, he lingered at the motel. He was a hard worker, helping the owner to mop the floor. The owner, a middle-aged auntie, also realized that Liang Zheng had some mental disabilities, surmising he might be a lost child from a family, so she reported to the police station.

When the police station staff came to register him, Liang Zheng refused to leave with them, and started crying upon seeing the police.

The officers had no choice but to ask the motel owner to temporarily take care of Liang Zheng.

This location was somewhat remote, business in the motel was average, and there were over ten vacant rooms upstairs.

The kind-hearted owner then allowed Liang Zheng to stay the night temporarily.

When Shen Duan arrived, he intended to take Liang Zheng with him.

Liang Zheng cried and refused to leave, hiding behind the motel owner.

Shen Duan had seen Liang Zheng a few times in Xiaoliang Village, but at that time, he hadn’t spoken much to him.

Knowing that Liang Zheng had the mind of a child, he couldn’t force him to leave, so he said gently, "It’s Tang Xi who asked me to come. You came to North City to find Tang Xi, right? Liang Qing is also with me, don’t you want to see your sister Liang Qing? You got lost at the train station, and she has been worried about you."

Upon hearing the names Liang Qing and Tang Xi, Liang Zheng paused for a moment, but still did not come out from behind the motel owner. Instead, he looked at Shen Duan and said, "Tang Xi! Tang Xi doesn’t want me anymore!"

Hearing this reply, even Shen Duan couldn’t help but feel a bit soft-hearted. He took a step forward and continued to coax him.

"She didn’t abandon you. North City is her home, so she had to return. You suddenly disappeared, and she was also very worried about you. We started looking for you yesterday and have been searching until now."

"You, you’re a liar, you’re deceiving people!!" Liang Zheng wouldn’t listen to anything, and hid again behind the motel owner.

The motel owner also felt sorry for Liang Zheng and hurriedly said to Shen Duan, "What’s going on here? Are you his family? Do you have any proof? He doesn’t seem to recognize you. You say this child is mentally immature, if you really are his family, why didn’t you take good care of him and let him wander outside alone? What if he got lost? It’s lucky he met me; this child had missed several meals already."

Shen Duan replied, "Thank you, auntie. Please accept this as my token of gratitude for taking care of him." Saying this, he placed a stack of banknotes on the counter.

The motel owner did not accept it, "I gave shelter and food to this child for one night, not for your family’s gratitude. It was simply out of compassion. Keep your money."

She turned to Liang Zheng, "Xiaozheng, your family is here now, go with them."

Liang Zheng looked at Shen Duan, his eyes filled with the wariness of a small animal, "Are you really, do you really know Tang Xi, do you know Sister Liang Qing?"

Shen Duan nodded again and took out his phone, dialing Tang Xi’s number.

"Xiaozheng!" Tang Xi’s voice came through.

Liang Zheng’s eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly took the phone from Shen Duan’s hand, "Xixi! It really is Xixi!"

"Xiaozheng, where are you now? How are you doing, are you hurt, have you been bullied? Come back with Shen Duan."

Only then did Liang Zheng believe Shen Duan’s words and was willing to leave with him.

Before leaving, Liang Zheng glanced at the instant noodles for sale on the counter.

Unable to move his feet.

The motel owner grinned, took out a plastic bag, and filled it with three boxes of instant noodles to give to Liang Zheng, "If you like them, auntie will give them to you. Be obedient at home and don’t wander off again."
