Capítulo 1010: Chapter 686: A Chance Encounter with Jiang Xue?
“Taotao…” Zhou Xikang sighed softly and held his wife in his arms, “We’ve been living together for quite a few years. I surely know what kind of personality you have.
But now that you’re pregnant, emotions tend to fluctuate more for pregnant won, that’s why I asked you like this. Mom also wishes for to have good conversations with you, so that certain things don’t stay bottled up inside and affect your health.”
“I’m much older than Chuxia. If I were to get jealous over sothing like this, it would be pointless…” Yu Tao paused and looked seriously at her husband. “Zhou Xikang, I declare solemnly that I do not feel that the elders treat less kindly than Chuxia. Even if it appears so, that’s due to special reasons. I absolutely won’t overthink it, but if you keep doubting like this during my pregnancy, I will truly be angry!”
“Alright, it’s all my fault, all my fault. I promise I won’t doubt like this again in the future. Actually, I’m not doubting you. I just thought that during pregnancy, emotions are different, so I wanted to be cautious. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even ask you these questions.”
Yu Tao gave him a satisfied glance: “That’s more like it. However, we’ve agreed that if there is anything grandma or mom are uncertain about but feel awkward asking , you must tell , and don’t deliberately hide it just because you fear I’d get upset.”
“Don’t worry, I will.” Zhou Xikang continued walking with her in his arms, “We’ve been married for long enough, do I really need to be reminded about this?”
“Big brother, sister-in-law, you two are so loving.” The couple turned around to see Jiang Xue looking at them with a smile, and she added, “Big brother and sister-in-law’s affectionate relationship is truly enviable.”
“Why are you here? Is it after work or visiting relatives?” Zhou Xikang greeted her politely.
“I was visiting my aunt.” Jiang Xue’s gaze fell on Yu Tao’s belly. “Sister-in-law, how many months now?”
“Over four months.”
“Really?” Jiang Xue said, looking surprised, “It’s not obvious. I heard from my grandma that with so people, it’s not easy to tell they’re pregnant, and it looks particularly good. I didn’t believe it, but now seeing sister-in-law, I do.”
Yu Tao smiled gently without saying anything.
This comnt was clearly trying to flatter. Generally speaking, pregnancy isn’t particularly noticeable at four months, especially now in winter, when wearing thicker clothes makes it less obvious.
However, without having married or experienced childbirth, thinking like this is possible. When it cos to Jiang Xue, Yu Tao doesn’t believe it. The other party is obviously trying to ingratiate herself, wishing to nd relations with the Zhou family.
Since last year, when Jiang Xue’s pursuit of Liao Hui was discovered by the Zhou family, contact between the Zhou family and Jiang family was basically cut off, and Jiang Xue stopped visiting the Zhou family.
Originally, Zhou Xikang had a good impression of Jiang Xue, but once he found out she intervened in his sister’s marriage, he stopped dealing with her. Today, if not for the New Year and her approaching to greet them, he wouldn’t have bothered.
Having already exchanged greetings, there was no need to stay for further small talk. He nodded to her and took Yu Tao’s hand to continue walking.
Jiang Xue hastened a few steps to stand in front of them, tears in her eyes: “Big brother, sister-in-law, are you still mad at ? I know I was wrong. Can you forgive ?”
Jiang Xue’s direct approach surprised Zhou Xikang and Yu Tao, leaving them montarily unsure how to respond.
“I was really losing my mind back then, and later my grandma and my parents severely reprimanded , not letting go ho for two months. Initially, I was really angry with them, feeling they didn’t treat as family. But over ti, I understood and felt deep regret.
I acted on impulse, causing such good relations between the two families to break down. Watching my grandma going around aimlessly at ho, stepping out and then coming back, I feel terribly pained.
Big brother, sister-in-law, could you ask Grandma Zhou to talk to my grandma when she has ti? Otherwise, I’m really afraid my grandma might fall ill from holding in her feelings.
She talks most freely with Grandma Zhou. My mom has tried persuading her to find others to socialize with, but she refuses. I’m out of options, big brother, sister-in-law, I’m begging you!”
Zhou Xikang nodded, “Okay, I’ll talk to Grandma about it.”
“When can you move back?” Jiang Xue asked hopefully.
After hesitating, Zhou Xikang spoke honestly: “Probably not anyti soon. Originally, we should be living in the old house, but since the house was returned, it hasn’t been tidied up, so moving day has been delayed. Now that everything here is prepared, there’s no reason to leave.
