"Silly wife, if I hadn’t wanted to ease your mind by getting you pregnant soon, would I have been working so hard recently to ’make a baby’?"
Zhou Yilang gently wiped away the tears from Fan Hongshan’s eyes with his thumb, pulled his distraught wife into his arms, and explained in a hoarse voice.
"Scared?" Fan Hongshan was too flustered to care about losing face. She hastily lifted her head and stared at Zhou Yilang’s approaching face in shock.
"Really, a silly wife."
Zhou Yilang held his wife’s little face, sighed, sucked the tears off her face, and whispered:
"Wife being pregnant, I’m very happy. Now, you wouldn’t think about escaping from our home anymore."
"I..." Fan Hongshan was completely defenseless against her husband’s intimate actions!
"Wife, don’t cry anymore. I want to kiss you," Zhou Yilang hummed.
When his wife was hurt, he had only quickly ensured her injuries were not severe, instructed the housekeeper to ensure she recuperated in the hospital, and then followed Zhou Zhenghui and Xie Jingchen to capture dangerous suspects. This departure lasted nearly a week.
Who knew that upon his weary return home, instead of his beloved wife throwing herself into his arms, it was his wife ’running with the ball’!
Had it not been for the approaching footsteps, Zhou Yilang would have snapped back to reality...
"Wife, drink some water, catch your breath," Zhou Yilang took a deep breath, heard the person at the door, and standing at the entrance, heard the key jingle as a hint, feeling more favorably towards this brother-in-law.
When Fan Hongshan was fed the warm water, she finally came back to her senses, not waiting for her to retort, Zhou Yilang spoke first, touching her small face and tenderly murmuring: Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelꞁire.net
"Wife, go back to the room to change your clothes, don’t let the elder brother stand at the door for too long."
"..." Fan Hongshan was speechless now. Completely unwilling to deal with this irritating yet eloquent man, she stepped back indignantly, snorted, and then turned to go back to her room.
Zhou Yilang’s eyes quietly smoothed his shirt, making sure there was nothing amiss, and then slowly walked to the door to open it for his brother-in-law, the two men silently nodded to each other.
When Fan Hongshan was slowly called out by her sister-in-law, she finally left her bedroom, received a glare from her elder brother, but the sister-in-law was smiling and inviting her saying:
"Hong Shan, come have breakfast now. What are you dawdling for in the room? Even when your brother-in-law has come, you won’t even show your face, and Yilang’s neck is about to grow longer."
Teased by Xie Jinghong in this way, Zhou Yilang naturally walked over to his wife, silently wrapped his arms around her shoulder, and sat down across from the elder brother and sister-in-law.
Earlier, Xie Jinghong, seeing her brother-in-law had come, had sent the children to Xie Jinggang’s home in the same city, so the couple took some time returning.
Initially, Fan Hongshan was a bit stiff to her husband’s naturally encircling hand because after all, this is their home, not out in public, so when embraced by her husband’s large hand, she showed a sign of shyness.
Xie Jinghong seeing her little aunt’s action, was truly happy — showing a shy demeanor meant there was still hope for the little aunt and her husband to reconcile.
And seeing her little aunt with a completely different complexion from yesterday, she snickered secretly in her heart: truly, letting go of worries, the little aunt’s complexion looks much better now.
Moreover, now the little aunt is pregnant, she has finally weathered through the difficult times, this couple’s life should not deteriorate further—
It was only after her brother-in-law said so, she knew the two children under his name, both were of his deceased brother and sister-in-law. He had pity for the two children, so young yet losing family warmth.
Thus, he had never told outsiders that these children were not his own. He hoped they as a couple knew this fact, so as to not spread it and accidentally hurt the children’s hearts...
In Xie Jinghong’s eyes, Zhou Yilang, initially just a thirty-score man, because of this incident, she could now give Zhou Yilang eighty points.
If he could be so responsible for his elder brother’s orphans, at least it showed that Zhou Yilang had the capability to be a good father.
As for the couple’s relationship, seeing that Zhou Yilang still knew to chase his little aunt back, it should just be a misunderstanding between the couple. Once resolved, see, it immediately shows a sweet relationship...
Fan Jiefang seeing his brother-in-law taking good care of his sister, appreciating her likes, always a step ahead to serve her in her bowl—this showed that the brother-in-law was attentive, not completely indifferent to his younger sister.
As for conflicts between husband and wife, that’s entirely normal.
Just a year ago, he and his wife nearly ended up divorcing.
The life of ordinary people is interspersed with kinship, love, and friendship, and is full of trivial daily matters.
Disagreements between people are easy to arise, after all, who can have a perfect life?
Ultimately, Fan Hongshan, following Zhou Yilang’s will, stayed a couple more days in her hometown, then returned to Beijing with him—
And with the elder brother looking after the old mother, as long as she did not cause trouble, her remaining years shouldn’t be too hard.
Nine months later, Fan Hongshan gave birth to a daughter for Zhou Yilang. Zhou Yilang doted on her like a precious jewel.
Even Zhou Xuantong, feeling guilty towards his stepmother and being forgiven by Fan Hongshan, often doted on his little sister even more than their father.
In other families, when there’s a new child, the elder one is bound to feel jealous.
But not in Zhou Yilang’s family.
Both the elder daughter and the young son felt that it was because of their little sister that their mom wouldn’t divorce their dad anymore.
And then, they finally had a good ’Mom’, no need to worry that one day when the stepmother gets angry, she wouldn’t want their dad and they would become orphans, unloved like wild weeds...
Having a sense of belonging, both siblings cherished the new member of the family as if she were the apple of their eyes, wishing they could give her all the best things in the world.
With such sensible children by their side, even though Fan Hongshan didn’t have postnatal care from a mother-in-law, not favored by the elder family members, she still felt her life was fulfilled.
Ultimately, she received the genuine affection of her children, tenderness from her husband during her confinement, and he even hired a confinement nurse to take care of them.
Preferring not to exhaust her, he would rather spend more time taking care of their daughter...
Having a husband and son like this, Fan Hongshan felt truly blessed.
