Chapter 185 Extra—Zhuo Zhiyuan (20)

Extra - Zhuo Zhiyuan (20)

"You're so useless! Is your child more important than your job? Be careful you don't get so busy that your child won't even recognize you when you come home. You'll be in big trouble then!"

Grandma Zhuo immediately put on a stern face.

Zhuo Zhiyuan stopped in his tracks and fawned over Grandma Zhuo, starting to massage her shoulders and back.

"Get out of my way! That trick won't work on me. Don't go to the company this afternoon. Go spend time with Jiajia and the kids and help lighten her load! There's no reason in our family to let our daughter-in-law take care of the kids alone."

Don't be fooled by Zhuo Zhiyuan's childhood; Zhuo He was always out early and back late.

Lin Chuyu is in poor health. During the day, she takes care of Zhuo Zhiyuan with Grandma Zhuo, and at night, she is cared for by Zhuo He.

As Zhuo Xiaopangzi's reputation for crying at night spread throughout the Xingfu community, it was accompanied by Zhuo He's dark circles under his eyes, which were even more pronounced than those of a panda.

"You were able to grow up safely only because your old man is lucky!"

This was a phrase that Zhuo Zhiyuan often heard from Zhuo He during a long period of his childhood.

So when Grandma Zhuo saw Zhuo Zhiyuan's irresponsible attitude, she immediately became furious.

Back then, Zhuo He had to take over the Zhuo family business and take care of Zhuo Zhiyuan night after night without uttering a single complaint.

It can be said that Zhuo He didn't get a good night's sleep during the first two years after Zhuo Zhiyuan was born.

Zhuo Zhiyuan is really something else these days. He's hired so many nannies for his family, yet he still complains and makes a lot of excuses when it comes to taking care of a baby.

How could Grandma Zhuo not be angry after hearing this?

Feeling guilty, Zhuo Zhiyuan touched his nose.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of the child; he simply doesn't want to see Shu Jia.

Zhuo Zhiyuan felt that he was sick recently, and quite seriously so.

He was definitely affected by the previous lactation session; the aftereffects were too great.

On the night of the lactation session, Zhuo Zhiyuan dreamed of an unusually fierce little demon after falling asleep.

This peach spirit is so domineering! He clearly doesn't want to eat peaches, but this monster keeps chasing after him and insists on bringing them to him.

He fled, it chased, he could not escape even with wings.

In the end, he was captured, and the peach spirit fed him a basket of juicy peaches, which almost made him vomit.

When Zhuo Zhiyuan was startled awake, he kicked his legs hard.

I opened my eyes groggily and realized it was all a dream, so I immediately took a breath.

After getting out of bed and glancing at the two siblings who were sleeping soundly, Zhuo Zhiyuan simply grabbed his laptop and started working. He dared not sleep any longer; who knew what terrifying monsters he would dream of chasing after him and coming to eat him?

I thought dreaming of being chased by a peach spirit last night was already ridiculous enough.

The next day, Zhuo Zhiyuan had another dream.

The peach spirit who was chasing after him yesterday is now shyly offering herself up to him today, wanting to make love to him.

Zhuo Zhiyuan's heart was filled with rejection and resistance.

But his hand, out of control, grasped the slender fingers of this fierce demon.

Tall, fair-skinned, and delicately boneless.

From then on, everything was out of my control.

The round, plump peach spirit can also transform; the skin she conjures is soft and fragrant.

The large peaches are also creamy and juicy.

Even her soft humming was a sobbing—melodious, charming, and pitiful…

It was so irresistible to Zhuo Zhiyuan.

The moment Zhuo Zhiyuan woke up, he felt completely refreshed.

They were even full of energy and wanted to fight another three hundred rounds.

However, after regaining consciousness, Zhuo Zhiyuan looked down.

Complete silence.

He, he, he—

Surprisingly—

Have we been vegetarian for too long?

oh--

After all, I've lived for over twenty years and only ever had a full stomach once.

Normally, the most they do is play intimately with the five-fingered girl.

After that day, Zhuo Zhiyuan spent his days either taking care of his child or busy with work.

Even the donkeys in the production team would give Zhuo Zhiyuan a thumbs up and praise his dedication.

When taking care of the child, it was inevitable that he would run into Shu Jia, and Zhuo Zhiyuan didn't dare to look Shu Jia in the eye.

This puzzled Shu's mother when she saw the young couple acting this way, so she privately approached Zhuo Zhiyuan.

"Zhiyuan, have you and your husband had a fight lately?"

Otherwise, why would she not say a word more than that every day except when she's taking care of the kids?

Zhuo Zhiyuan shook his head repeatedly.

"No, I just encountered some problems at work recently, but they've been resolved!"

"Are you lying to me? Did Jiajia do something out of line again and give you the cold shoulder?"

Shu's mother knew her child's personality and temperament better than anyone.

Zhuo Zhiyuan was even more reluctant to admit this.

You were the one who felt guilty, so how can you blame the other person?

Shu's mother's question made Zhuo Zhiyuan extremely embarrassed.

When they were taking care of the children together, Zhuo Zhiyuan would try to chat with Shu Jia for a few minutes in front of Shu's mother.

While dealing with Mrs. Shu was relatively easy, dealing with Grandma Zhuo was a different story.

She ignored Zhuo Zhiyuan's endless excuses and, under Grandma Zhuo's insistence, Zhuo Zhiyuan was immediately packed up and sent to the nursery.

"You stay here to take care of Jiajia and the baby until Jiajia is out of confinement. Don't even think about going anywhere else."

What kind of lousy company is that? You'd better deal with it yourself. It's always the boss, and he has to do everything himself. What's the point of hiring employees? You should just do all the work yourself.

Old ginger is spicier.

Xiao Jiang Zhuozhiyuan naturally wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with the oldest member of the Zhuo family, Grandma Jiang Zhuo.

So, carrying several sets of loungewear and toiletries, Zhuo Zhiyuan followed his grandmother into the nursery.

After learning that Shu Jia was pregnant with twins, the Zhuo family renovated the nursery.

They even knocked down the wall to connect the adjacent room.

The four postpartum nannies each have their own bedroom at the Zhuo residence. On weekday evenings, two nannies each take care of one child, while Shu Jia has a separate room. If there is a need for breastfeeding or other services, the nannies will call Shu Jia.

Now that Zhuo Zhiyuan has arrived, the task of putting the children to bed at night has been handed over to him.

As soon as Grandma Zhuo finished speaking, the expressions of the two nannies present changed.

The husband takes care of the child himself; is there something wrong with what they're doing?

The Zhuo family offers good benefits, high wages, and easy work; there's no better job than this, and they don't want to leave just yet.

After assigning tasks to Zhuo Zhiyuan, Grandma Zhuo said to the two nannies, "From now on, let the child's father take care of the child more often. You two can just observe and guide from the sidelines. What kind of father doesn't take care of the child? There's no such tradition in our Zhuo family!"

"Yes, yes, yes—all the men in our Zhuo family are exceptionally good men. Grandpa is, Dad is, and so am I!"

"Come on, your grandfather goes without saying, he's definitely no good, your dad's not bad either, but when it comes to you..."

Grandma Zhuo was silent for a moment.

She gave Zhuo Zhiyuan a disdainful look: "It's only because these two kids can't talk or move that they've already given up on you and run away!"

Zhuo Zhiyuan: Is he really that bad?

Not to brag, but compared to most women in modern society who are widowed and raising children alone, he's practically the best man ever!
