Chapter 1182: What, Still Not Willing to Forgive Me?
Zhou Yunchen checked the situation and felt it was about time to leave. Not only did he take his own people away, but he also casually took Chen Ming’s mother with him. Jokingly, it was obvious what that little bastard was up to. Leaving such an old lady at home might lead to a big joke.
Naturally, Zhou Yunchen didn’t do this himself. With just a glance, Secretary Wang understood. He managed to coax and deceitfully take Chen Ming’s mother out for late-night snack. Chen Ming’s mother was half-believing and half-doubting, feeling something was off, but as soon as she sat in that eight-seater ultra-long car, she caressed the seat, unwilling to part and marveled, "This car is really comfortable to sit in."
Zhou Yunchen also got in the car, glanced at his wife, and then chatted with Chen Ming’s mother casually: "If Chen Ming can have twins, I’ll give you one of these cars."
What he said was obviously teasing his wife, Lin Hua. Lin Hua was no fool and naturally understood, so she just gave him a look and then said nothing.
As they exchanged such glances, Chen Ming’s mother had no idea and was still calculating, "On my side, there have been three pairs of twins, and from Chen Ming’s late dad’s side, there were four pairs. The possibility of getting this car is actually pretty high..."
Hearing her say that, Lin Hua chuckled softly, "Indeed it is."
Old Wang felt a bit uneasy, touched his nose, "That’s not necessarily so."
Lin Hua didn’t respond. At this moment, Chen Ming’s mother, feeling a bit uneasy, said, "I need to go back early later. Chen Ming is a rough person, not very attentive in taking care of others. What if he gets hungry at night and wants a late-night snack?"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Yunchen glanced at Wang Jingchuan.
Wang Jingchuan got the hint immediately and slapped his thigh, "Old lady, don’t do that."
Chen Ming’s mother was puzzled, so the secretary explained in detail, "Let young couples be themselves. Chen Ming is already in his thirties and finally married such a beautiful wife. It’s not easy, is it? You’re well-meaning, but don’t do the wrong thing. Young people these days value freedom and space..."
Chen Ming’s mother was not foolish, and upon hearing this, she understood. After thinking for a while, she said, "I get the idea. Actually, I’m not like those other mothers who just want their sons to think about them 24/7. I’m not like that. Normally, I don’t live with Chen Ming. After they got married, I continued living on my own. Once they have the baby, I’ll help take care of it. By the way, I even specifically went to learn how to take care of kids."
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Ming’s mother said, "When Chen Ming was small, I took care of him roughly, but things are different now. Kids are precious, and methods have changed. The teacher said it’s scientific feeding."
Wang Jingchuan laughed, "Scientific feeding."
"Yes, yes, feeding, I just forgot for a moment," Chen Ming’s mother quickly corrected herself.
Even as she said this, she occasionally missed her son and daughter-in-law and wondered if Chen Ming was causing any trouble at home with no adults around...
Fortunately, after a while, Secretary Wang distracted her and took her to a place with many people accompanying her.
Zhou Yunchen trusted him to handle this, so he took his wife back home.
Once home, Lin Hua headed upstairs, and Zhou Yunchen smiled, taking off his coat and following her, "Lin Hua, why are you running, I’m not going to eat you."
Lin Hua had been angry with him lately and ignored him.
When they reached the bedroom, she tried to close the door, but he blocked it with his foot. She glared at him, "You sleep in the study, don’t be shameless."
Zhou Yunchen shamelessly smiled, "You’ve been angry for so many days. Shouldn’t you let it go by now?"
Lin Hua looked at him but eventually let him in. Once inside, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "Don’t be mad, you’ve become a mother, shouldn’t you stop acting so spoiled?"
As he said this, he was secretly proud, thinking: I’ve spoiled her well, which is great, not afraid of me is great.
With him being so cheeky, Lin Hua snorted softly and went to remove her makeup and prepare to shower and sleep.
Zhou Yunchen, shamelessly, followed her.
In the dressing room, Lin Hua sat at the dressing table, carefully combed her hair after removing her makeup, and let it down.
Tonight, she was wearing a long smoke red dress, exuding femininity, especially from behind, she hardly looked like someone who had given birth.
Old Wang watched, feeling hot, and gently embraced her from behind, adeptly helping her remove the pearl earrings from her ears and placing them on the table, then stared at their reflection in the mirror together...
Lin Hua didn’t have time to speak before he started acting cheeky again, and she quickly pushed him, "I haven’t forgiven you yet."
"Forgiveness has nothing to do with this," he chuckled softly, resting his head on her shoulder.
He had an esteemed status, naturally putting on airs in public, but in private, he showed his true nature, taking advantage of his romantic knowledge to bully her affectionately. Fortunately, after being ignored for a long time last time, he dared not overdo it this time... When love is deep, marital conflicts naturally dissolve.
In the middle of the night, Lin Hua got up and just moved when Zhou Yunchen grabbed her, his voice slightly hoarse, "Where are you going?"
"To check on the baby," her voice was soft.
He pulled her back down and held her for a while before sighing, "I’ll go check."
He was always concerned for his wife, and since they had just reconciled, he needed to show he cared, so he quickly put on his clothes to check on Little Wang Yue. Since it was a son, Zhou Yunchen was quite strict, completely adopting a self-reliant upbringing style.
Poor Little Wang Yue was only six months old, and his father was already insisting on his independence.
But what could he do independently at this age, wet the bed?
Old Wang couldn’t care less, anyway, boys need to sleep on their own.
Of course, there is a professional nanny watching over him. When he went in, the nanny was awake but didn’t get up—
Mr. Wang doesn’t like being disturbed by others; the less presence felt at home, the better.
King Jingyao went to check on his son, and unexpectedly, Little Wang Yue was awake, staring at his father with big, bright eyes and a cute expression.
A six-month-old child already recognizes his parents and can utter simple sounds.
The moment he saw King Jingyao, he got excited, kicking his little feet, drooling and incoherently calling for his dad.
No matter how stern King Jingyao usually tries to be, his heart softened at that moment.
The child Lin Hua gave him looked like him, with similar eyebrows and eyes, resembling him all over.
He reached out, picked up his son, and kissed him: "What is the little fellow thinking?"
Little Wang Yue slept a lot during the day and now nobody paid attention, he finally grabbed hold of someone. His small body lay on his father’s shoulder, babbling, and King Jingyao had no idea what he was saying but found it adorably odd.
Thinking again, he carried his son back to the master bedroom.
Lin Hua hadn’t slept yet, even though she... was rather tired.
She was waiting for King Jingyao; she didn’t expect him to bring their son back after a while. Lin Hua felt a bit surprised.
She was a woman, and a soft-hearted mother, truth be told, she wanted to personally take care of Little Wang Yue, but in this regard, King Jingyao was quite insistent, insisting that boys be independent.
Lin Hua had no one to confide in about this, for she knew well that the Wang Family was a prestigious lineage, having thrived in glory for many years, with a traditional way of raising children. Although King Jingyao treated her well, he wouldn’t break tradition for her little sentiments and concerns.
Now that he brought their son over, she immediately sat up to take the child from him, asking softly, "Is he sleeping with us?"
King Jingyao smiled, "Just for one night, seeing this little guy was rather boring."
Lin Hua felt a bit disappointed but quickly lowered her gaze to coax their son and cover it up.
But, King Jingyao could tell Lin Hua still wanted to be with their son every night, even wishing to place the crib in their room.
However... with a sigh in his heart, he truly couldn’t accommodate her in this matter.
Little Wang Yue was already six months old, just right to stop drinking milk, and even though milk was the best, it couldn’t compare to the scent of his mother. Separated for just half a month, the little guy couldn’t resist snuggling into his mother’s embrace as soon as he got there.
Lin Hua felt a bit heartbroken, but she couldn’t indulge herself, only trying to soothe the little guy.
At this moment, King Jingyao lay down, glanced at the little one, and spoke softly, "Is he awake again?"
Lin Hua responded with a soft "Mm", turned to hold their son at her side, patting him gently, but Little Wang Yue was too excited to sleep.
King Jingyao chuckled: "Don’t spoil this kid, a mother’s indulgence can spoil the child."
Lin Hua felt a bit upset: "How could being a little kinder to such a young child lead to spoiling him?"
King Jingyao knew she was upset; truthfully, Lin Hua hadn’t opposed him in this matter before, but he also knew how strong-willed he was in this, and now with the right atmosphere, he didn’t want to argue with her, so he rested his hands behind his head, speaking softly: "You don’t know how harsh the old lady was with me."
"You are you; our son is our son." Lin Hua couldn’t help but say, "Think about it, Xiao Yue will surely walk a different path than yours."
King Jingyao gazed at her, silently observing.
Somehow, Lin Hua felt a bit fearful under his gaze, her lips slightly moved, but King Jingyao spoke first, his voice deep: "Zhou Yunchen and I have an agreement, his family’s Zhou Mu won’t walk this path."
Lin Hua suddenly sat up, looking at King Jingyao incredulously, her voice trembling: "But you clearly... said before that Wang Yue wouldn’t walk the same path as you."
King Jingyao couldn’t help but soothe his wife: "The situation is changing."
He sighed, "Zhou Yunchen is unwilling to take this role."
Instantly, Lin Hua understood: "So, our son is the condition, the leverage, isn’t he?"
She continued, "You’ve suffered through that life, toiled all your life, do you want our son to be the same?"
King Jingyao stared at her.
After a long time, Lin Hua suppressed her voice: "So, when I wanted to educate Wang Yue differently, you stopped me. You intend to turn him into a typical product of the Wang Family’s assembly line, wanting him to become another King Jingyao when he grows up."
She came close to crossing the line with that statement, King Jingyao’s voice was slightly low: "Lin Hua, watch your words, do you know what you’re saying?"
