The first few days of the short seven-day holiday were spent in chaos.

Only the last two days were Zhou Mo and Han Chen's true world of two.

The two of them spent the short two days at home.

Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru said they wanted to stay for a few more days, and Liang Xinyu was not in a hurry to return from the imperial capital.

Yuanshangju became the exclusive world of Zhou Mo and Han Chen.

The two lived in the room where Han Chen lived in high school. After doing all the "unfinished business", they snuggled together.

Zhou Mo leaned against Han Chen, and Han Chen's hand unconsciously slid to Zhou Mo's lower abdomen.

"Is your period on time this month?" he asked.

"Not here yet," Zhou Mo said, "but it was on time last month."

"It means the medicine is effective."

"Yeah," Zhou Mo said, "it's just that the quantity is a little small."

"Go get a checkup in a few days and see what's going on."

Zhou Mo turned over and faced him, "What's wrong? Are you anxious to have a child?"

Han Chen: "Having a child is a later matter. I just want to know if you are well."

Zhou Mo smiled slightly, "It's definitely much better than before. Haven't you seen that my mood has improved recently?"

Han Chen: "I see, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident in confronting my grandfather."

Zhou Mo: “…”

Han Chen raised his body and kissed Zhou Mo's forehead. He gently brushed his hand across her cheek and said solemnly, "In the future, if I have a child, it will definitely not be like my second brother."

"Second brother? What happened to him?" Zhou Mo asked.

"Nothing," Han Chen said.

"Is Second Brother being mean to Haoxuan? Or..."

"No, Haoxuan is his biological son, how could I possibly treat him badly?" Han Chen said, "I just feel...Haoxuan looks very pitiful alone in the Han family. When I was a child, my mother said that my father would buy me building blocks when he came home and took me to build with them a few times. My second brother never played with Haoxuan. When I go home, he will play with Haoxuan for a while. I guess the number of times my second brother spent with Haoxuan is not even a fraction of what I do."

"Why is this happening?" Zhou Mo was puzzled.

"Who knows," Han Chen sighed. "My second brother and second sister-in-law... are also having conflicts and are probably going to get divorced. But no one in the Han family knows about it right now. Maybe because of what happened between Hao Jie and us, they don't want to cause trouble for the Han family at this time, so they haven't started a fight. I guess they just discussed it privately."

"How long have your second brother and second sister-in-law been married?"

"It's been almost ten years, I don't remember clearly."

"Ten years, and you still can't have a stable relationship?"

"It's a marriage of convenience, there's no love involved," Han Chen said. "My second sister-in-law has been very tolerant of them for being able to stick together until now."

"I can't imagine what a marriage without love is like," Zhou Mo's mind went blank. In her understanding, marriage should be like that of Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru, supporting each other and growing old together.

"My uncles mostly married through arranged marriages. They saw that their family backgrounds and personalities matched, so they got married. That was how things worked for their generation, but it's completely different for our generation."

Zhou Mo was curious: "What about your elder brother? Is he also getting married?"

Han Chen: "Yes, but he is lucky. He and my sister-in-law are childhood sweethearts and they are in love with each other."

Zhou Mo: "Everything is fine with them, except Hao Jie, right?"

Han Chen: "Yeah."

Zhou Mo: "It seems that the saying really comes true: every family has its own misfortunes and troubles."

Han Chen: "We don't have any."

Zhou Mo: "I hope not."

Han Chen: "Definitely not. Even if there is, I won't let it happen."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Don't be so mean."

…

A few days later.

The year is almost over.

Zhou Mo and Han Chen also returned to their respective posts.

Liu Xiangru, Zhou Zheng, and Liang Xinyun all returned to Yuanshangju.

In order to make it easier for work, Zhou Mo and Han Chen returned to Century Jiayuan.

After moving back to Century Jiayuan, on the first day of work, Han Chen was driving and Zhou Mo was sitting in the passenger seat. Just as they left the community and had not yet turned onto the road, a car overtook them from behind.

Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Zhou Mo recognized it as Qi Tan's car at a glance.

At that time, Duan Feng was sitting in the passenger seat. He overtook the car to say hello to Han Chen and Zhou Mo.

"Good morning, Dr. Han. I'm in a hurry to see Duan Feng off, so I'll leave first," Qi Tan started the car with a smile, said goodbye and left.

Zhou Mo gritted his teeth secretly, feeling inexplicably angry.

Han Chen looked relaxed and unmoved.

"I felt like he was deliberately provoking me," Zhou Mo said.

"I feel that way too."

"Aren't you annoyed?" Zhou Mo said, "He brought Duan Feng to greet you, clearly mocking us for not being able to do anything to him. Now that Duan Feng has been promoted like you, our efforts will seem foolish in front of him."

"I know," Han Chen said, "but this matter is not over yet. They just laughed too early."

“?” Weekend looked at him in confusion.

"Just wait," Han Chen said, "the counterattack will come soon."

"What do you want to do?"

"Qi Tan's tactics are nothing more than using you to threaten me, or trying to get in touch with someone higher up to protect them. Everyone has weaknesses, and everyone has connections. His father used to run a company, so how could he not have some tax evasion record?"

Seeing that Han Chen was confident, Zhou Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like the real 'war' is about to begin. You better be careful."

"Yeah, don't worry. It's nothing serious."

Zhou Mo smiled slightly.

She likes Han Chen's ability to keep calm.

"How high he stands now will determine how hard he'll fall in the future," Han Chen said with a smile. "It's said that he's going to be transferred soon. On the surface, it's a lateral transfer, but... it's actually a transfer to Secretary Qin's side."
