Zhou Xiang felt sad. She was the least qualified one. Given the age difference between them, she had never thought that Wu Haotian had feelings for her.

If she had known, she would have tried to reduce contact as much as possible. She would not have started a company with Wu Haotian, nor would she have brought him to Beijing, nor would she have arranged for anyone to contact him, and harmed the silly girl Zhong Lan.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"I want to find a place to give birth to this child. I want to raise him myself. A single-parent family is better than a forced union."

Zhou Xiang didn't expect this silly girl to be so stupid. "Your family is not good?"

Zhong Lan nodded, "Yes! My father often beats my mother, and my mother favors my brother and expects me to do all the work. I sneaked out and met the captain on a mission, so he brought me back.

I thought that I had the ability to make money and my mother would pay more attention to me. However, every time I brought home money, she thought it was not enough. After I retired due to injury, I went back home. When my mother heard that I came back to get a job and that my salary would be the same as those in the town, she changed her attitude and told me to find someone to marry quickly so that she could get some dowry for my younger brother to get married.

I ran away again and never went back. My dream since I was little was to have a harmonious family where boys were not discriminated against girls, so under these circumstances, I would rather be a single mother.

"Okay! I'll help you!" At worst, she would have to support the mother and son in the future, and she would be sorry for them.

"Go back to work first. I'll immediately arrange for someone to take over your job. Just say you have another assignment."

Zhong Lan nodded, "Okay! Thank you!"

"No need to thank me! I was wrong."

Zhong Lan shook her head. "You're right. Your starting point is for his own good!"

"But it hurt you."

"I did it willingly."

Zhou didn't want to argue with her about right or wrong, as she was pregnant now.

After calling Xiao Gu to drive Zhong Lan to work, Zhou Xiang went to the main house to find Ling Ran.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Ling Ran stood up and asked her what was wrong.

Zhou Xiang threw herself into his arms, "Ling Ran, let's not have any misunderstandings, okay?"

In the past two days, these two couples made her experience the ups and downs of love. Although she hated Ling Ran's clingy nature, she loved Ling Ran. If she were to face what these two girls had experienced, she didn't know if she was as strong as them, nor did she know if she could survive the development of the misunderstanding and wait for it to be resolved.

Ling Ran lowered his head and held her face in his hands distressedly. "What's wrong? What happened?"

His little girl was in a bad mood, which made him feel depressed as well.

Zhou Xiang took his hands off his face, pulled him to sit face to face, and told him about Zhong Lan.

Ling Ran held her hand tightly. "We won't go through what they did. I can't stand it. If there is anything, we should talk openly and not hide it."

At this point, Zhou Xiang wanted to find trouble with him, "Tell me, do you know?"

Ling Ran nodded, "I know, I've known this for a long time, but you are mine."

Zhou Xiang raised his hand to tickle his armpit, "Shame on you, how long have I been promising you?"

Ling Ran grabbed the mischievous little hand, placed it under his lips and kissed it gently, "Seven years, you promised me seven years. Even if you only promised to give me a chance at that time, I would still consider you mine."

Zhou Xiang hesitated for a moment before speaking frankly, "Actually, at that time, even if I agreed to you, I didn't plan to get married and didn't want to be burdened by a family. I just wanted a child, a child of my own."

"I know, and I haven't thought of giving up. If you're willing to have my child, we can have physical contact, and I can have an excuse to visit you often, so you can slowly fall in love with me."

"It's your shameless devilish nature that makes me unbearable, and yet I miss you when I'm not around."

Ling Ran leaned over and kissed her lips, then pulled the little hand he was holding back and pulled her into his arms. His little girl was so adorable.

Zhou wanted to respond to him enthusiastically. She was frightened by these two couples. She wanted to give him more confidence and comfort so that he would not think wrongly when he encountered misunderstandings.

However, she led people astray. Ling Ran couldn't face the enthusiastic little girl, so he let her go and pushed her back onto the sofa.

"Baby, if you want to have your wedding night now, you can be more enthusiastic."

Zhou Xiang laughed out loud when she saw his awkward sitting posture. Ling Ran tapped her nose and said, "Bad girl."

Zhou Xiang raised his head and opened his mouth to bite his finger, but he quickly moved his hand away.

"Okay, now tell me who you plan to ask to take over Zhong Lan's affairs."

"Zhang Ning, ask her to take care of both ends first."

"You! What about Ji Bin? Can those two bickering lovers not be together?"

"Then go to your security company and pick someone who is both financially savvy and willing to be Wu Haotian's bodyguard. You want a man. I'm afraid of women. These two are stupid."

"There's nothing wrong with women themselves, but when women fall in love, their IQ drops to zero."

Zhou Xiang tickled him again, "Who are you talking about?"

Ling Ran endured the itch in his armpit and quickly coaxed her, "We're talking about women! Your IQ also belongs to Ling, to me, Ling."

"That's a twist!" Zhou wanted to stop teasing him. "Hurry up and find someone to take over this afternoon. Zhonglan is a sleepyhead, so don't let anything get into trouble."

Ling Ran picked up the phone in the main room and said, "Use a landline. Cell phone charges are too expensive."

Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Haha, man! Do you think this little phone bill can discourage Senior Jiang?"

"Then I'll have to pluck two wools."

After receiving a call from the boss, the security company immediately used the elimination process and finally selected a teammate who would go directly to the real estate agency in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran then went to the art exhibition. A Lian had already finished admiring all the paintings. Seeing Zhou Xiang, she immediately walked over to her and said, "Sister Xiang Xiang, Brother Zhou is amazing. When he has time, ask him to paint a picture for me! I'll give it to my mother and let her hang it in her room so she can see me every day."

"Well, just tell him directly, doesn't he often go there to eat and drink for free? When he goes there again to eat and drink, ask him to draw for you."

A-Lian nodded, "Yes, yes, listen to what I say."

Jiang Weihua was helpless. He had suggested this before, so why didn’t they listen?

Zhou Xiang felt much better when he saw the sweet and loving Jin Chao and An Wen. At least these two people were a good match.

Zhou Niao told his sister that only two people had come to see the exhibition. Zhou wanted to comfort him, saying, "There are too few people who appreciate art. That's how art exhibitions are. We sold a painting yesterday. Why are you so anxious?"

"I know who bought it, and I don't like it."

"The more you dislike it, the more you spend his money! Come on, let me see what new paintings you've added today."

"Let's go and see."

The "Little River" in front of us is the former river of the family compound. Through the turbid river water and loose riverbed, I look at the broken courtyard gate in the distance. Opposite the gate is a fruit tree. The red fruits on the tree make the broken courtyard full of warmth.

"Did you go into that stinky house?"

Zhou Niao shook his head, "No, I saw it on the Shidun Bridge."
