Chapter 1320: Chapter 577: Returning to China
“No, Xinyi, don’t be impulsive!”
Even though Zhou Yuwen told Jiang Xinyi that having a baby isn’t sothing that happens overnight, he was eventually forced by Jiang Xinyi in the study.
Jiang Xinyi, satisfied, leaned into Zhou Yuwen’s arms and asked if he had thought of a na for the child Su Qing was carrying.
Zhou Yuwen said he didn’t even know if it would be a boy or a girl, so how could he decide on a na?
Jiang Xinyi asked again, “Then have you thought about a na for our child?”
Zhou Yuwen was even more helpless and said, “I don’t even know where our child is, why na it?”
Jiang Xinyi thought for a while and said if the child were a girl, they’d na her Zhou Xiaoyu. She asked how he felt about the na.
Zhou Yuwen laughed upon hearing this and said, “Oh, so you want Shen Yu to be your daughter?”
This statent made Jiang Xinyi very unhappy, and she said Zhou Yuwen was annoying.
“I’m talking seriously with you, and you’re joking with ?”
Zhou Yuwen said he wasn’t joking.
“You’re calling her Zhou Xiaoyu. If you call little Yu that, do you think Shen Yu would agree with you? Besides, how can you be sure it’s a girl? What if it’s a boy?”
“Oh, co on~~”
Zhou Yuwen’s lack of cooperation made Jiang Xinyi very angry, and she even felt like biting him. Zhou Yuwen carelessly hugged her, telling her not to overthink.
“You can’t force things like having a child. Besides, if you do have a child, I can’t pamper you for several months. Can you accept that?”
“That’s different.”
Jiang Xinyi spoke with great seriousness.
Zhou Yuwen thought for a mont, realizing that Jiang Xinyi was already 26 and maybe not in a rush, but the pressure from Liu Jing must be significant. Zhou Yuwen said, “Okay, we’ve tried today. Don’t you think it’s ti to let get so work done?”
Jiang Xinyi looked at Zhou Yuwen for a while, pouting. She probably wanted to snuggle with him a bit longer, but Zhou Yuwen just couldn’t take a hint.
Helpless, Jiang Xinyi said, “I’ll let you go today, but we’ll continue tomorrow.”
“What? Continue tomorrow?”
“Humph~”
Seeing Zhou Yuwen getting flustered made Jiang Xinyi very happy, and she turned and left.
Ever since Su Qing got pregnant, Zhou Yuwen felt he couldn’t stay long at the estate. Not only was Jiang Xinyi constantly after him, even Zheng Yanyan would corner him casually, like when he went to the bathroom.
Zheng Yanyan asked Zhou Yuwen, “What did you and Jiang Xinyi do after I left that day?”
“Sister, I’m using the bathroom. Do you think this is appropriate?” Zhou Yuwen felt helpless.
Zheng Yanyan just glanced at him and pouted, saying, “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
Zhou Yuwen hurriedly pushed her out, saying to talk outside.
“Zhou Yuwen, I hate you!”
Even after pushing Zheng Yanyan out, she still blocked him at the bathroom door, saying she gave Jiang Xinyi a chance, so why not her?
“Jiang Xinyi wants a baby, and I want a baby too! You can’t be partial; didn’t you say sothing about equal treatnt back then? Is this your idea of equal treatnt?”
“…”
The reckless promises of youth.
Ended up hitting Zhou Yuwen right in his face.
It was then Zhou Yuwen realized that so words aren’t just for saying.
It wasn’t that Zhou Yuwen’s body couldn’t handle it, but being ambushed daily by these girls, he couldn’t get any serious work done.
The most awkward mont was when Liu Jing, wearing a black lacy cheongsam, knocked on his door late at night.
Well, Liu Jing may be a bit older, but she lives a pampered rich lifestyle, loves to dress up and buy clothes, so it’s normal for her to wear cheongsams and high heels. You can’t say just because her family acquired Zhou Yuwen, she’d start wearing plain clothes.
But coming to Zhou Yuwen late at night left him dumbfounded.
Liu Jing brought a bowl of freshly made soup and entered the study without waiting for Zhou Yuwen’s permission, saying, “Yuwen, you’re working so hard every day, you must take care and replenish your strength.”
Zhou Yuwen’s face froze when he saw the ingredients of the soup.
He couldn’t directly refuse, so he just said, “Alright, thank you, Aunt Jing.”
“Well, Mom, just leave it here. I’ll drink it in a bit,”
Liu Jing lifted her skirt slightly, crossing her legs to sit elegantly, saying, “I’ll watch you drink before I go.”
“Uh, Mom, is that necessary?”
Liu Jing is in her forties, about the sa age as Zhou Yuwen’s mother. Zhou Yuwen started calling her “Mom” after getting engaged to Jiang Xinyi, which wasn’t inappropriate.
He still called Aunt Pan “Aunt,” but he changed Liu Jing’s title.
Since calling her “Mom,” Liu Jing treated Zhou Yuwen like her own child.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen trying to dodge, Liu Jing wouldn’t let him. She even said, “Yuwen, I know you’re healthy, but with so many beautiful companions, your body won’t keep up.”
“You’ve called ‘Mom,’ would I harm you? Be good, drink this. It’s a recipe I specifically asked a friend for. It’ll guarantee you have sons.”
Zhou Yuwen said, “Alright, okay, I’ll drink it later.”
“Mom, I’m busy here. Once I’m finished, I’ll drink it; you can leave now.”
Zhou Yuwen pushed Liu Jing out the door.
Liu Jing still put on a “I’m doing this for your own good” expression.
Zhou Yuwen said, “Mom, I know you’re looking out for , but I’m really busy here.”
He closed the door without waiting for Liu Jing’s consent.
This made Liu Jing very annoyed.
“This child!”
In the end, Zhou Yuwen’s plan backfired. He initially thought that by gathering all the girls together, he could enjoy the benefits of being surrounded by beautiful won, but he ended up being the unlucky one.
Looking at the sizable pot of the nutritious soup, Zhou Yuwen was forlorn just thinking about it.
Previously, Zhou Yuwen shared a bed with these girls, and sotis, even just holding each other without doing anything felt great for Zhou Yuwen.
But since Su Qing’s pregnancy, Zheng Yanyan couldn’t stay put at night.
Her restlessness made Jiang Xinyi unwilling to back down.
Originally, Jiang Xinyi resisted this approach.
After all, she was a lady of high stature and had to maintain her dignity.
But as they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Listening to Zheng Yanyan getting her way every night.
Ultimately, Jiang Xinyi gave up her pride.
The other girls were fine, neither competing nor fighting.
But Zhou Yuwen still had to consider their feelings too.
So like this, the one feeling tired is Zhou Yuwen.
These few days, Zhou Yuwen has smartened up and started resting in the study.
This night, when it was quiet and late, Zhou Yuwen thought of sneaking to the kitchen to pour out the nourishing soup Liu Jing made for him.
But found out the kitchen on the first floor,
the light was still on.
Eh?
Zhou Yuwen moved closer for a look.
He saw Pan Min in the dim light, wearing a simple gray long robe, hair coiled up, exposing a sliver of her elegant neck under the light, cooking sothing unknown.
Zhou Yuwen was taken aback upon seeing Pan Min: “Aunt Pan?”
Pan Min was also surprised, seeing it was Zhou Yuwen, she asked curiously: “So late, you haven’t slept yet?”
“Uh, I.” Zhou Yuwen still had the nourishing soup Liu Jing made for him in his hands.
He didn’t know where to hide it for a mont.
The mont Pan Min saw the pot of soup in Zhou Yuwen’s hands, she understood what was happening.
She couldn’t help but smile slightly.
She said: “I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen burst into laughter.
He quickly dealt with what was in his pot.
At the sa ti, he saw Pan Min cooking sothing, so he curiously asked: “Aunt Pan, what are you cooking?”
Pan Min said: “Su Qing has been feeling a bit overheated recently, so I thought of making more green bean soup for her, so she’ll have enough to drink for a while after I leave.”
Only then did Zhou Yuwen rember that Pan Min seed to be returning to the country.
Zhou Yuwen sighed and said: “Yeah, after you leave, who knows when Su Qing will next have your green bean soup.”
Pan Min just smiled gently and said: “It’s sothing that can’t be helped, once you’re married, it’s like that.”
Zhou Yuwen said: “Why not let Su Qing return to the country with you?”
“There’s no need, the environnt’s a bit better here, and she also wants to stay here, plus, she isn’t without soone to look out for her here.”
As Pan Min said this, she tidied up the porridge she had cooked.
But saw that Zhou Yuwen had no intention of leaving.
Pan Min thought for a mont and said: “Leaving Su Qing in your care, I feel at ease, you shouldn’t feel burdened, I know you’re a good kid.”
Zhou Yuwen felt a little ashad hearing this.
In the past, Su Qing did sowhat wrong him.
But Pan Min had always been a good mother-in-law to him.
Whether this life or the past.
Yet his actions…
Zhou Yuwen thought for a bit and said: “Aunt Pan, you don’t have to console …”
“Actually, I feel a bit sorry for you and Su Qing…”
Pan Min shook her head and said: “You don’t need to think like that, I think everything’s quite good, look, not only do you have a group of nice girls who love you, you also have a mother-in-law who makes you soup.”
“Aunt Pan, you’re…” Zhou Yuwen felt as if Pan Min was teasing him.
Sure enough, even Pan Min laughed.
She said: “Alright, not joking with you, I really think that Su Qing is doing well here, there’s no need for to take care of her. Also, I want to take the chance to do so things I like while I still have ti. Neither you nor Su Qing should feel burdened, you should be happy for .”
Zhou Yuwen initially wanted to say so words about respecting Pan Min, but Pan Min saw things clearer than anyone, she wasn’t comfortable living at the estate, although Liu Jing was there with her.
But she and Liu Jing were, after all, different kinds of people.
Pan Min asked Zhou Yuwen why he wasn’t resting so late.
Zhou Yuwen sighed and shared his troubles with Pan Min.
Pan Min found it quite funny as she listened.
Zhou Yuwen said: “Aunt Pan, you’re still laughing, can’t you give so advice?”
“I can’t help you with that, you’re not a girl, you don’t understand, when you reach a certain age, you naturally want a child. But this also shows they genuinely want to be with you, otherwise, why would they want to have a child with you?”
Zhou Yuwen said: “I know, but I feel there’s no rush for this kind of thing, like being chased every day…”
Before Zhou Yuwen finished speaking,
a shadow appeared at the distant staircase.
“Zhou Yuwen?”
In the shadow, Zheng Yanyan’s legs seed super long, she looked puzzled as she recognized Zhou Yuwen: “Zhou Yuwen, why are you here? I just went to the study to look for you but couldn’t find you.”
“What ti is it now, why aren’t you resting yet? Eh, Aunt Pan is here too?”
When Zheng Yanyan got closer and saw Pan Min, she grabbed Zhou Yuwen’s arm and sat down beside him, curiously asking: “What are you talking about with Aunt Pan, Zhou Yuwen?”
Zhou Yuwen said, you should go back to sleep first, I’ll talk with Aunt Pan for a bit longer.
“No way~ I want to listen too.”
“…”
Zheng Yanyan pouted for a while and said, even if you don’t listen to .
“Wouldn’t you have to go back when Jiang Xinyi arrives?”
Zhou Yuwen thought for a mont, and it made sense.
So he said: “Alright, alright, you go on upstairs, I’ll be back in a bit.”
“Hehe, that’s a good boy!”
Zheng Yanyan was happy, gave Zhou Yuwen a peck on the cheek.
Then she whispered: “Today I learned a new position, I’ll show it to you later.”
“…”
After Zheng Yanyan left, Pan Min couldn’t help but chuckle.
Zhou Yuwen sighed and said: “Ah, Aunt Pan, please don’t tease .”
Pan Min covered her mouth and said: “I’m not teasing you, this is all your choice, isn’t it? You can’t possibly follow my footsteps and go back to the country, can you?”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen’s eyes lit up.
A few days later, Su Qing and a few girls, including Lu Wanting, took Pan Min to the airport.
Su Qing was a bit upset, saying: “After going back, I must have a good talk with Zhou Yuwen! Such an important thing as you going back to the country, and he doesn’t even co to send you off.”
Pan Min said: “Yuwen is busy with work, you should understand him, sending off isn’t a big deal, alright, you all should go back now, I’m about to board.”
