Just because of the phrase "three generations of single heirs," Lin Shu risked an ectopic pregnancy to give birth to a daughter for Zhou Yanli. Yet, on their sixth wedding anniversary, she ...
Chapter 239 You and I are not even friends, Zhou Yanli
Beijing City
Lin Shu took his aunt back to his home in Beijing.
Lin Yueyun was very weak and she couldn't get out of bed when she woke up.
Knowing that Lin Shu had just given birth and needed care and rest, she originally did not agree to let him move in.
But Lin Shu insisted again and again.
"Aunt, you are my only relative in the world besides my elder brother. I miss you by my side."
Lin Yueyun was very touched: "Silly boy, you still have three children. Look, Shuangshuang is a big child, so cute, and there are two little ones. And-"
She glanced at Zhou Yanli, who was working hard to take care of the baby outside and said, "I don't think he's so hopeless."
Lin Shu showed no expression. "There's no chance between him and me. Aunt, he doesn't like me, that's the point."
"What about you? You really have no feelings for him anymore."
Lin Shu said calmly, "Love between husband and wife fades over time, not to mention heartbreak."
She didn't want to go back.
Lin Yueyun did not try to persuade him: "You have your own life, and I will not interfere."
But Lin Yueyun was not averse to Zhou Yanli.
If we talk about scumbags, her nominal brother-in-law is the real scumbag.
It’s a pity for her sister and father, who are now dead with hatred.
The two were chatting when a child started crying outside. Lin Shu stood up reflexively.
As she walked to the door, she saw Zhou Shuang teasing little Chen Yi with a toy.
Zhou Yanli had just held little Chenyi in his arms, and he was crying loudly.
When holding little Chen Yi in his arms, Zhou Yanli used all his tricks and his arms were almost cramping.
But little Chen Yi continued to cry until Zhou Shuang brought a toy over.
"Daddy, hold me—"
Zhou Shuang took little Chen Yi over. Zhou Yanli was afraid that she would drop the child, so he stared at him carefully, not daring to take his eyes off him for a moment.
But Zhou Shuang was still too young to hold the baby, so she put little Chen Yi into the cradle herself.
Zhou Yanli followed her all the time. Zhou Shuang had no idea what her father was thinking. He just liked his younger brother and wanted to make him happy, so he talked to him with toys.
Xiao Chenyi's crying gradually subsided. Zhou Shuang was very happy and looked at Zhou Yanli: "Daddy, my little brother is not crying anymore."
Zhou Yanli finally felt relieved, and Zhou Chenxuan started crying again.
Lin Shu heard the noise in Lin Yueyun's room, and saw Zhou Shuang coaxing her brother, so he stopped.
Lin Yueyun couldn't help but calm down and listen carefully to the noise outside.
She was lying on the bed and couldn't see, but Zhou Shuang's delicate voice came in.
"Chenxuan, don't cry. Sister will come to comfort you later. Be good."
Sure enough, after little Chenyi stopped crying, Zhou Shuang came to coax Zhou Chenxuan again, and miraculously, little Chenxuan stopped crying too.
Zhou Yanli breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked towards Lin Shu. Lin Shu had already gently closed the door.
"It seems that my sister is still the best."
Lin Yueyun had a faint smile on her face.
Lin Shu closed his eyelids slightly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
Ever since Zhou Shuang came here, she seems to like her two younger brothers and sister very much.
Moreover, I never heard her mention Wen Xin again, nor did I see her send her a message or call her.
As a mother, Zhou Shuang is her daughter.
It was impossible for her not to mind that her daughter regarded another woman as her equal mother in her heart.
The hurt I felt at that time cannot be explained in a few words.
Of course, Lin Shu would not blame Shuangshuang nor hate her, but he felt infinite melancholy in his heart and buried it deep down.
She placed these wounds in a corner where no one could touch them, and would lick them occasionally when she thought of them late at night.
But time is the best medicine to heal all wounds. Every time the heart is hurt, her shell becomes harder.
Now she is invincible, at least love can't hurt her anymore.
She has two precious twins, a boy and a girl, and also Zhou Shuang, if Shuangshuang still has her as her mother in her heart.
"See, I was right, Shuangshuang is still very cute."
Lin Shu lowered his head, his expression somewhat indifferent, but something in his heart was quietly melted away.
"Yeah. She was cuter when she was younger, just like little Chenxuan."
The old fox had a lot of plans. After giving them money, he kept begging for mercy for the two, one big and one small.
She took her daughter in. Her daughter was the apple of her eye and the blood relationship in this life could not be severed. As for Zhou Yanli, he could do whatever he wanted. Lin Shu did not interfere, did not pay attention, and did not care.
"Shushu, seize the opportunity. At least you still have the chance to choose in this life."
Lin Shu knew that his aunt was talking about Lin Yuerong. She had no chance to choose the person she loved, and she didn't even have the chance to live to old age.
"Auntie, you should have a good rest. When you recover a little, I will take you out for some fun. You haven't seen the outside world for several years."
She changed the subject, and Lin Yueyun stopped talking to her about this unhappy thing.
When Lin Shu walked out of Lin Yueyun's room, Zhou Yanli had already gone to prepare complementary food for the two children. Zhou Shuang was also helping. It was not known whether she really liked making it or it was just new to her, but she was more attentive to her two younger brothers and sisters than she was to playing games.
Zhou Yanli was afraid that Zhou Shuang would be bored, so he brought her a tablet computer and downloaded games for her. But who knew that she just liked taking care of children.
A child who is a little over six years old can take care of two babies quite well.
Seeing Zhou Shuang coming out wearing a small apron and holding a plate in her hand, Lin Shu's face was a little bit embarrassed.
"Come on, Mommy. You can go play now."
Zhou Shuang shook her head with a sweet smile on her face.
"No, this is the fruit and animal platter I made for Chen Yi and Chen Xuan. It's so pretty. Mommy made one for you too."
Lin Shu brought it to her and patted her head.
"They are still small. They can eat them when they are older."
Zhou Shuang looked at her fruit platter. "How long does it take for teeth to grow? Can they be fake?"
Lin Shu chuckled.
"No, they'll grow up on their own when they get older. You can't fake it."
Zhou Shuang said "Oh" and went to find the two kids with the fruit.
"I'll show them how pretty the little animals my sister made are."
After saying that, she skipped away. Lin Shu wanted to stop her, saying that her brothers and sisters were all asleep, but seeing how happy she was, he didn't stop her.
Forget it, it’s better than thinking about games all day long.
She turned around and saw Zhou Yanli, who had been looking at her.
Unfortunately, when Lin Shu and he met each other's eyes, he thought Lin Shu would at least say something to him, but she walked straight past him without even glancing at him.
Zhou Yanli's expression was very stiff, and he was still holding some fruit in his hand. He originally wanted to ask Lin Shu if he wanted to eat some, but Lin Shu didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
He saw Lin Shu searching around the kitchen, and finally couldn't help but point at the pineapple next to him that had been dug into pieces.
"That's the fruit tart Shuangshuang made for us. She's almost finished taking out all the meat from it. She said it was for Chenyi and Chenxuan."
Lin Shu replied calmly, "Oh."
Then he took some fruit he wanted to eat and walked out of the kitchen.
Zhou Yanli looked at her and wanted to say something else, but eventually lost motivation.
"I have something to do tonight and won't be back for dinner. Just take care of Shuangshuang and my aunt. Don't worry about me."
Zhou Yanli raised his eyes, but Lin Shu didn't wait for him to finish his classic sentence and directly made a prohibitive gesture.
"We are just parents now. You and I are not even friends. Please don't ask me about my personal affairs as if I were your significant other, Zhou Yanli."
