Qiao Nansheng looked worried: "Can I pretend to be dead?"

[Accept reality, Qiaoqiao. You can't escape it forever. Think about that novel where you were pressured for months. Every time you made excuses to get away with it, you still got pressured, didn't you?]

[If you ask me, you and Zhou Cheng should have a child. Once you have a child, why would Zhou Cheng bear to send you to a mental hospital?]

"What utter bullshit!" Qiao Nansheng cursed. "I'd rather have a baby for that bastard Zhou than let the sky fall!"

[Mental hospital. ]

"Shut up! Don't even think about it! I'd rather be pressured to have a baby than..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud knock on the bedroom door, and Grandpa Zhou's strong voice came in: "Sheng Sheng, who are you talking to? Is anyone else in there? Is it that brat Cheng Cheng who wanted to sneak back in the middle of the night?"

Qiao Nansheng quickly covered her mouth, her face filled with horror. "Damn it, why did the old man come up here directly? Where's Liu Xu? Why didn't he come to inform her?"

"Nan Sheng?" Old Master Zhou called her, but after a long while there was no response, he muttered, "Could she be talking in her sleep? I clearly heard her say that she wanted to have a child for Chengcheng."

Liu Xu stood nearby, barely daring to breathe. The old man had poor hearing, but she heard everything the lady said clearly. It was obvious that she was unwilling to have a child for Cheng Ge, even if the sky were to fall.

"Never mind, I thought she would wake up at this time." Old Master Zhou waved his hand, and Aunt Chen, who brought him here, quickly came up to help him. "Liu Xu, Madam, you don't need to tell her I came when she wakes up, lest the child think I came to urge her to have a baby."

"yes."

Grandpa Zhou muttered as he turned to leave: "It's better not to have any children. That good-for-nothing Zhou Cheng, instead of properly inheriting the company, he ran off to be an actor. He should have come back and run the company. He's always out there flirting with women, it's always this scandal or that scandal. It's such a waste of our Sheng Sheng's time..."

As Grandpa Zhou's voice and footsteps grew fainter, Qiao Nansheng released her grip and took a deep breath: "Xiao Ai, did I just hear wrong? Grandpa didn't come to pressure us to have a baby?"

[He wasn't there to pressure us to have children.] He was there to pressure us to get a divorce.

The original novel and the novel featuring Qiao Nansheng as the female lead seem to have similar plots, but in fact they are quite different. However, if you were to list all the differences in the plot, there wouldn't be that many.

"That's good." Qiao Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask why Old Master Zhou had come.

She felt completely relaxed and lay back down on the bed, ready to continue sleeping, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got out of bed.

It's a beautiful weekend, it would be a waste of time not to go out and explore.

She quickly washed up, dressed, and went downstairs.

Liu Xu was counting the things on the coffee table when she saw her come down. Her face lit up with joy. "Madam, Madam, come and see! Grandpa Zhou just came to see you and took a lot of things..."

Halfway through her sentence, Liu Xu suddenly covered her mouth, looking flustered: Oh no, I let it slip.

Qiao Nansheng overheard what Grandpa Zhou said in the room. Despite his age, the old man was very shrewd and he must have guessed that what she said wasn't just dreaming, but he didn't expose her.

His words as he left sounded like he was talking to himself, but they were actually meant for her.

So Qiao Nansheng yawned, pretending to have just woken up and wasn't fully awake yet, "What did you say?"

Liu Xu: "Grandpa Zhou heard that you were sick and specially sent some tonics over. I just saw that they were all good things."

Fortunately, the wife didn't hear what she said.
