"Do you think I'm joking?" Shen Liwu's tone was still calm, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes turned cold.

"Zhou Yanjing, I don't care what relationship you had with her in the past, but from now on, you must cut off all ties with her. Otherwise, I don't mind changing the child's surname."

Zhou Yanjing's heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

A fine layer of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, and his eyes frantically searched her face, trying to find any trace of a joke.

However, Shen Liwu's gaze was as deep as a cold pond, without the slightest wavering.

"I swear." He suddenly spoke, his voice low and firm, as if squeezed out from deep in his chest, "I, Zhou Yanjing, will only recognize you and the child in this life. As for other people, even if the king of heaven comes, I will not even look at them."

Shen Liwu looked at him quietly, and after a moment, he nodded gently, “Okay, I’ll remember that.”

Her tone remained flat, but Zhou Yanjing breathed a sigh of relief, as if the huge rock pressing on his chest had finally been removed. His fingers slowly loosened, and the sweat from his palms had already soaked a large area of ​​his trouser legs.

"I want to drink water." Shen Liwu said.

"I'll go get you some water." Zhou Yanjing stood up and went to the kitchen to get some water. He was stopped by his mother just as he finished pouring the water.

"Yan Jing, sit down, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Yanjing held the water cup, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, but turned around and sat next to the fire pit.

"Do you know why I didn't let you into the room last night?"

Zhou Yanjing rubbed his fingers gently on the water cup, looked at Zhou's mother solemnly, and said in a low voice, "You want me to remember this."

Mother Zhou snorted coldly, her eyes sharp as a knife, "It's good that you know!"

She paused, her tone softened, but still sternly, "You've been like this since you were a child. You like to keep everything to yourself and don't know how to express it. If Wuwu wasn't so steady, any other girl would have been pissed off by you and left."

Zhou Yanjing pursed his lips and his eyes dimmed a little.

"Yan Jing, I don't ask you to obey her heart, but loyalty is an indispensable responsibility of every man in his life. You must remember this clearly.

I know how much you cherish Wuwu, and I also know how much you value your family. However, some things cannot be undone once they happen. You must always be alert and not do anything that may hurt Wuwu.

Your own conditions are not bad, and you will meet many people who like you. You and your spouse have a good relationship, but there will also be many people who are jealous of your good fortune and will try every means to create rifts between you, so you must learn to distinguish and protect your relationship.

Wuwu is a good child. You can't do anything to let her down during her pregnancy. Of course, it's not just during the pregnancy. If you don't, I will never forgive you. ”

Zhou Yanjing clenched the water cup in his hand, but his eyes became more determined. He raised his head and looked directly into his mother's eyes, "Mom, I know. I will not betray Wuwu's trust, nor will I let anyone destroy our family."

Mother Zhou nodded, the seriousness on her face faded a little, revealing a look of relief, "It's best that you think so. Wuwu is pregnant now, and her emotions are sensitive. If you don't pay attention, you will really hurt her heart."

Zhou Yanjing lowered his eyes, with a hint of self-blame in his voice, "I know I was negligent last night and failed to deal with Zhang Changfeng's situation in time, causing Wuwu to misunderstand. I will be more cautious in the future and will not let this happen again."
