"I just don’t want outsiders to disturb my peaceful life now," Zhang Shan Ni said, her gaze solemnly sweeping over the eager and expectant strangers.
Tao Songjian was already shocked.
In his eyes, the gentle and soft little soldier wife had, at this mont, exuded an extrely cold and indifferent aura. The way she looked at them didn’t even carry a hint of warmth, to say nothing of any anticipation or excitent!
What she said was all true, very straightforward.
Even Tao Songjian, who could see the obvious with his pen, could understand, not to ntion Yan Dongsheng and his two sons!
"Brother Chen, I’m tired, I’m going to rest for a while. You guys take your ti talking, excuse ," Zhang Shan Ni felt she had expressed her own aning, and thus couldn’t be bothered to entertain the direct relatives of her original identity.
"Hmm, feeling sleepy?" Upon hearing his little wife say she was tired, Xie Jingchen imdiately helped her up with her bulky body.
She smiled faintly at the crowd, nodded in greeting, and then gracefully retired to her room with the help of Xie Jingchen.
It was as if the indifference she had shown a mont ago was just an illusion.
Xie Jingchen said to everyone, "Excuse for a mont," and then first helped his wife out. His disregard for protocol was completely to give them space to communicate on their own.
"Brother Chen, will what I’m doing make your work difficult?" Zhang Shan Ni was truly tired; it was not until the man had taken off his coat and lay on the bed that she asked faintly in a daze.
"Silly, of course not. Go to sleep now, don’t get too tired." Xie Jingchen kissed her half-closed apricot eyes, and seeing her extre fatigue, lay on his side next to her, gently caressing her belly.
Listening to her gradually regular breathing, Xie Jingchen felt very pleased. In fact, his wife’s candid rejection was most favorable for him.
Because only then would Xie Jingchen avoid being troubled by the Yan Family. Even because of Zhang Shan Ni’s direct stance, the Yan Family might have to instead protect and assist him, hoping he would speak well for them.
After all, she is now his wife, Xie Jingchen’s wife, and no one can compare to him, more worthy of her trust.
"Mm, that’s good... Let them leave quickly, it’s annoying," Zhang Shan Ni grumbled dissatisfiedly before falling into a sweet dream.
Seeing his little wife fall asleep in a daze, Xie Jingchen gently opened the door, and upon opening it, he saw Yan Jinchang standing outside with clenched fists.
The two n looked at each other for a mont, with Yan Jinchang retreating as a result.
Yan Jinchang: His own brother-in-law... ugh, too strong. He had been mixing with him for nearly three years and never won once. He felt he, as the second uncle, lacked presence!
"Chief Tao, District Chief Yan Rong, apologies. My wife is currently in the sleepy stage of pregnancy, so..." Xie Jingchen sat back down on the sofa, Qi Chunlan had already cald down.
As he spoke, he refilled tea for everyone.
"It was too abrupt of us," Tao Songjian said with a wry, self-mocking smile, "And even though your wife doesn’t acknowledge us old folks, surely you wouldn’t not acknowledge us, would you?"
Xie Jingchen was silent for a while, then turned his gaze to Yan Dongsheng and swept it across everyone, and replied seriously and formally:
"District Chief Yan Rong, Chief Tao, everyone, regarding acknowledging relatives, in my opinion, it’s best to take it slow. Everyone is witness to my wife’s current condition, and we really can’t afford any mishaps. Moreover, even if we really want to acknowledge each other as relatives, we should be more careful, so as to avoid any misunderstandings; that wouldn’t be good."
After all, who knows what Lin Zhaodi, that woman, might do?
In this world, it’s not unheard of to find extrely similar-looking people who are not blood-related, in fact, quite a lot. They are now rely overly agitated by Lin Zhaodi’s behavior.
Yan Jinchang wanted to object, but seeing his elder brother shake his head at him, and then thinking of his sister’s prominently swollen belly, he fell silent.
Yan Dongsheng stared at Xie Jingchen for a full five minutes, seeing that the latter t his gaze with clear eyes and did not flinch, and considering the backing of Old Liu Aimin behind this young man, his satisfaction with him finally reached a neutral level.
His jaw set firmly, he said, "Good, thank you for reaching out to help my daughter."
"It’s an overpraise, it was my duty." Hmph, his wife hasn’t even recognized her family yet, and this Rong District Chief is arrogantly assuming the role of ’father’?
"Old Yan..." Qi Chunlan softly called out, is she really going to leave just like that? How could she be content... The thought of her little son lying in the hospital room, waiting for matching blood and bone marrow to save him, made her heart ache even more.
Now, her daughter showed no inclination to acknowledge her as her mother at all. What about her poor Shishi?
Although her neglect resulted in her daughter being switched, it was because the baby girl was strong and healthy, while Shishi was as feeble as a little sickly kitten since birth, always plagued by illness!
Back then, she was overwheld and it was not intentional. Can’t she be forgiven with magnanimity?
As for Zhang Shanni’s current attitude, to Qi Chunlan it seed a clear display of dissatisfaction and non-recognition of her as a mother.
"Mom, let’s go back first, give little sister so ti to accept, she is now with child..." Yan Jinhao tily spoke up, calmly interrupting his mother’s words.
He probably sensed his mother’s real thoughts from her anxious deanor.
He found it ridiculous! How could his mother so righteously assu that others ’must’ pay for this bloodline?
Their own family was already enough in debt to this younger sister; they hadn’t yet reclaid their familial affection, how could they make such excessive demands?
Most importantly, her current physical condition simply did not permit it.
Although the life of the little brother is important, to this newly found younger sister, they were all strangers.
His mother was... too anxious.
Yet, he understood his mother’s feelings, because his heart also ached for his little brother suffering from illness.
Yan Jinchang was montarily stunned, looking at his elder brother softly persuading their mother, had it not been for their mother seemingly wanting to say sothing but then stopping herself, today would not have been able to conclude.
Yan Jinchang shuddered abruptly... Could it be that his parents and elder brother were so urgently trying to acknowledge his sister simply to save his little brother?
He was suddenly frozen with a shock, just in ti to et Xie Jingchen’s profound gaze, sharp as a blade stabbing into his heart...
The sound of his heartbeat thudded louder and louder, like thunder echoing in his ears.
He didn’t even know how he managed to leave the Rongwei Chief’s house. The silent car ride back to the capital was filled only with his mother’s low weeping sounds, mournfully moving to tears.
"Why, why didn’t you let speak, Shishi can’t wait anymore!" Once back at ho in the capital, Qi Chunlan uncontrollably cried out at the three n in front of her.
"Mom—" Yan Jinchang spoke coldly, disappointedly to Qi Chunlan: "So you were so eager to acknowledge your sister, really just for her blood and bone marrow?"
"Changchang!" Yan Jinhao shouted, blocking his mother and yelling at his suddenly enlightened younger brother.
He of course understood that the thought was bad, but his little brother really couldn’t wait, therefore, he could not bla his mother’s thoughts, he could only disagree and admonish her.
"I!" Qi Chunlan felt a stab of pain in her heart under her second son’s gaze, stuttered with her lips, then looked at her two sons and husband with intense and determined eyes, firmly questioning.
