Second night is here.
--------------
"What the girl said makes sense..." Lin Baohe looked at his wife, "Yulan, let’s listen to our daughter. After all, we’re not the type without any manners. Whatever help the Zhou family provides as long as it’s reasonable, we’ll accept it.
As a family, we need to act like one. Furthermore, when Chuxia has her baby, we certainly need to care for it together with the in-laws. If we’re too polite, it’ll make things difficult for everyone, don’t you think?"
"What now?" Zhao Yulan looked at her husband and daughter, speechless. "I’ve already accepted the help from the Zhou family and stopped being so formal. Why are you both nagging about this issue?"
"We’re just emphasizing it again, to ease mother’s mind." Chuxia laughed appeasingly, "Mom, if I did sothing wrong, you can’t be angry with . I’m your daughter, rember."
"Alright, you’re doing it for mom’s sake, mom won’t be mad at you..." Zhao Yulan glanced at her husband, "But I’ll be mad at you. We’ve been together for a lifeti, don’t you know what kind of person I am? Adding fuel to the fire, are you trying to stand out?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong..." Lin Baohe quickly apologized, "I just went with the flow of the girl’s words without thinking. I regretted it right after I said it."
"Although they are treating us well, we can’t be too complacent. After all, they don’t owe us anything..." Seeing her husband and daughter laughing, Zhao Yulan realized she was overthinking again, and smiled embarrassedly, "You two are right. I tend to overthink, I’ll pay attention from now on." She sighed, "Chuxia, your mom can’t compare to your dad. Mom cos from a humble background, how can I be as open-minded as your dad?"
Knowing his wife was being playful, Lin Baohe nodded, "That’s right, people from prominent families are different. Yulan, you’ve got good eyes, how did you choose at the first glance back then..."
"Oh, co on..." Zhao Yulan interrupted Lin Baohe, looking annoyed, "Let’s be clear, you were the one who chose first. Stop twisting facts and misleading our daughter, have so sha!"
"You chose too. Otherwise, would you have married when I was so poor?"
"Lin Baohe..."
"What’s wrong, I’m speaking the truth."
"If you say that, I might just divorce you."
Seeing his wife getting genuinely upset, Lin Baohe quickly changed his tone, "Yulan, I’m joking. Look at you, why are you really getting angry? Of course, I chose you first. You have a good heart, that’s why you married . I know it, and Chuxia knows it."
Now that her husband said that, Zhao Yulan hurriedly added, "I chose to marry you not out of pity, but rather because I truly think you are a good person, responsible, worth relying on."
"Haha..." Chuxia, who had been watching them for a while, suddenly burst into laughter, doubling over in mirth. Since coming to this era, this was the first ti she realized how cute her parents were.
She always thought they were extrely formal in their emotions. Now she realized she was wrong. Their formality was forced by life back then. Now that life has improved, so have their moods, naturally changing.
Embarrassed by her daughter’s laughter, Zhao Yulan spat at her husband, "Look at you, your nonsense made our daughter laugh at us, didn’t it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it’s all my fault." Lin Baohe looked at Chuxia, "Chuxia, your mom is thin-skinned, stop laughing."
Zhao Yulan stared at her husband speechlessly, "Lin Baohe, you’re doing this on purpose!"
"Mom..." Chuxia quickly went forward and hugged Zhao Yulan’s arm, "I’m really happy to see such a side of dad and mom. It proves that dad and mom have a good relationship."
Zhao Yulan suspiciously stared at her daughter, "You’re not laughing at mom?"
"I would never laugh at mom," Chuxia said seriously, looking at her mother. "Mom, take a good look at , do I look like I’m laughing at you? If I really make fun of dad and mom, that would be unfilial. As your daughter, why would I ever wish for my parents to have a bad relationship, right?"
Thinking it over, Zhao Yulan finally relaxed, "That’s true. But..." She looked at her husband, "But Lin Baohe, this shouldn’t happen again."
"Alright, alright, it’s just because I’m in a good mood today." Lin Baohe turned to his daughter, "Chuxia, you and Xiaomi should learn from and your mom, aim to have a good relationship decades later."
"Absolutely!" Chuxia nodded seriously, "Dad and mom are role models. I’ll let Zhou Mikang know and have him seek advice from dad, how about that?"
Zhao Yulan quickly interjected, "Seeking advice sounds too forceful, makes it seem like you’re imposing on soone. Besides, Zhou Mikang has seen how your dad acted, forcing it would be aningless."
"Yulan, you have to admit that I did well, right?" Lin Baohe looked proudly at his wife, "Don’t deny it, what you just said was clearly praising ."
"Aren’t you ashad to ask for complints in front of your daughter?"
"What’s there to be ashad about?" Lin Baohe replied matter-of-factly, "She’s my own daughter, not an outsider."
Watching her parents, Chuxia felt that it was predictable that her dad and mom’s personalities would beco more and more endearing... Well, that’s truly a good thing.
After dinner, back in the room, Chuxia still had a smile on her face. Zhou Mikang studied her for a while and finally couldn’t help but ask, "What are you smiling about? Share it with so I can join in the fun."
"It’s my dad and my mom..." Chuxia recounted the conversation she had with them that afternoon, and finally looked at Zhou Mikang seriously, "Seeing them like this, it really makes very, very happy.
Since being with them, they’ve always shown a particularly orthodox face. Suddenly seeing them like this, I’m surprised and delighted."
"That’s because you picked the right person..." Zhou Mikang raised his eyebrows proudly, "At first, it was like I was forcibly taking a girl, almost losing the happiness I had in my hands. Were you scared?"
"Do you have any sha?" Chuxia looked at him speechlessly, "Talking about my parents and you manage to bring it back to yourself, I really admire your thick skin."
"I’m just stating the facts. If you hadn’t married , would you be like this today? By the way, you said this to yourself, it wasn’t saying it. What? Turn around and want to deny it?
Wife, you can’t be so unprincipled. You just confessed to , and now you’re regretting it? You still have our son and daughter in your belly; don’t teach them wrong."
"Annoying!" Chuxia rolled her eyes at him. "You really have no proper shape. By the way, let ask you sothing serious. My brother’s state seems really off, like he’s always avoiding . Zhou Mikang, do you know why?"
Zhou Mikang hesitated a bit but didn’t tell the truth, he just advised his young wife, "You’re overthinking it. Why would he avoid you? You’re his sister."
Chuxia looked at him seriously, "He’s definitely avoiding . Otherwise, why wouldn’t he co ho? Zhou Mikang, if I find out you’re lying to , I will absolutely be mad at you."
"I haven’t lied to you, nor do I intend to. I just think as a man, I shouldn’t gossip..." Zhou Mikang helplessly stroked his young wife’s forehead, "You should call Lin Zhubin directly, okay?"
Chuxia looked at him curiously, "From what you’re saying, the situation seems quite serious and difficult to talk about?"
"No, it’s just that I feel it’s inappropriate for to talk about this..." Zhou Mikang hugged her close, "Chuxia, we are the closest people to each other. I won’t hide anything from you, but for this matter, Lin Wenbin hasn’t made up his mind yet, and I promised him I wouldn’t tell you for now, so if I tell you now, it would make look too untrustworthy. You don’t want to be untrustworthy, right?"
"In this situation, you can be a little untrustworthy. I’m his sister, I would definitely want the best for him, you know that." Chuxia looked up at him, "Of course, if you don’t tell , I’ll call and ask him, but it would feel different."
"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you. Isn’t that enough?" Having no other choice, Zhou Mikang explained Lin Wenbin’s emotional dilemma, secretly sighing to himself that this was his first ti breaking a promise in his life, hoping it wouldn’t happen again.
"Do you think my brother still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend?" After thinking for a mont, Chuxia asked.
"Probably not."
"Then what’s he struggling with?"
"He’s just too kind, so seeing his ex-girlfriend not doing well makes him feel a bit sympathetic. Of course, he doesn’t intend to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend, it’s just that at a ti like this, it’s not quite suitable for him to be with Yuan Hui. He hopes to have ti to calm down and then decide whether or not to be with Yuan Hui."
"Zhou Mikang, you’re also a man, you..." Chuxia paused and smiled embarrassedly, "I’m not bringing up your past on purpose, I just hope I can get so experience from you. You won’t be mad, right?"
Zhou Mikang shook his head, "I won’t be mad, but you won’t get the experience you’re looking for from . You know what happened between and Ye iru, and my being single later wasn’t because of Ye iru, it was due to various factors. Of course, Lin Wenbin’s being single also has other reasons, but everyone’s first relationship has its own uniqueness, and everyone’s thoughts are different. You can’t get the sa experience."
"That’s true..." Chuxia sighed, looking at Zhou Mikang with a sense of lancholy, "I’m just worried about Brother. If he keeps hesitating like this, what if Sister Yuan Hui loses patience?
Also, I’m most worried that if Sister Yuan Hui finds out he’s hesitant because he saw his ex-girlfriend, what if she rejects him outright?
It’s rare for him to et soone he quite likes. If this falls through, it’ll be such a pity. Besides, Sister Yuan Hui is really nice, and it would be a real sha to miss out on her.
Zhou Mikang, when you have ti in the next couple of days, try to persuade my brother. Since he doesn’t want to tell , he doesn’t want to lose face in front of . So I’ll pretend not to know, and you can persuade him, okay?" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian) with votes and monthly tickets.
