Chapter 96 Returning from the Business Trip
Only then did Zhou Mingyang and the others realize that he was going to Changping.
Zhou Jia thought he didn't want to agree and was just making excuses, so she tearfully said, "You're just going to have fun for a few days, you're not staying there for long, what's the big deal?"
“I’ll be managing the medicinal herb base for your second sister-in-law, and I’ll definitely be staying there for a long time. There’s a chef and maids next door to take care of you. You’ve already graduated from university and don’t want to go out to work. Your family will give you pocket money every month, so there’s no need for you to live with me.”
Zhou Kanghui didn't think that a 21 or 22-year-old woman should still live with her parents. It's not like she didn't have her own house. Didn't everyone else want to escape their parents? Why was she different from everyone else?
Zhou Jia felt like the sky had fallen, and she looked at her grandparents.
Yu Minhua said, "The two sides are right next to each other, so it's no different from living together. If you encounter anything you're unsure about, you can come and ask me."
What she didn't say was that if she were truly sensible and filial, and had nothing to do at home, she could come over every day to chat with the two old folks and relieve their boredom. Ming Shi and An An would see this and remember it. When she got married, they might even give her more dowry because of her filial piety.
But she's different; she moved over there and never comes over unless there's a specific reason.
Who would believe she's filial?
Her parents are divorced, and her older brother is useless. Now that she's scared, she wants to move in again. Who will spoil her?
Yan Shuyan never expected that her father-in-law would be going to manage the medicinal herb base for her second sister-in-law. She thought it was unreliable. Wasn't she afraid that her father-in-law would ruin her medicinal herb base?
Zhou Mingyang also thought his younger brother and sister-in-law were very bold, daring to hand over the management of the medicinal herb base to their father.
But since his second brother had already agreed, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
As soon as Zhou Mingyuan and He Xishan got home, He Xishan said, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, I'm going to the bathroom first."
Zhou Mingyuan, who was about to call his father-in-law, hurriedly asked upon hearing her words, "Are you alright?"
"I'm going to the restroom first, we'll talk when I come out," He Xishan said, and then walked towards the restroom.
As soon as she got to the bathroom, she started calling her parents.
She called for a long time but no one answered, and she began to panic, fearing that something had happened to her parents. She kept calling, but no one answered.
Zhou Mingyuan was outside, constantly checking his watch. Half an hour had passed, and she still hadn't come out. He was extremely worried, so he went over and knocked on the bathroom door: "Shanshan, are you alright?"
He Xishan: "My stomach isn't feeling well, I'll be right out."
Zhou Mingyuan asked worriedly, "Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
He Xishan: "No need, it's already fine."
She took her phone, washed her hands, opened the bathroom door, and smiled at him: "I'm fine."
Zhou Mingyuan helped her sit on the sofa: "Since they say the antique is fake, we'll contact my father-in-law and ask his friend to appraise it. Once the appraisal report comes out, they'll believe it."
He Xishan suddenly cried out in pain, and Zhou Mingyuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
He Xishan clutched her stomach: "My stomach is starting to hurt again."
Zhou Mingyuan: "Shall we go to the hospital?"
He Xishan: "I was probably just angry, and the child is protesting. Can you help me to bed for a while? I should feel better after a nap."
Zhou Mingyuan said angrily, "Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad didn't consider that you're pregnant. They said whatever came to mind. I think they would care if my second sister-in-law were pregnant."
He Xishan held his hand: "It's okay, I don't care about those things. We just need to love our child."
Zhou Mingyuan squeezed her hand: "Only you understand me best."
He Xishan twitched her lips: "Who told us to be husband and wife? Husband and wife are one, sharing happiness and hardship. No matter what happens in the future, we will spend our lives together."
Zhou Mingyuan: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will not let you down."
He Xishan: "Mm."
I felt a little uneasy, wondering what my parents were busy with and why they hadn't answered the phone.
As for why she kept it from Zhou Mingyuan, she didn't know; she just did it instinctively.
Lin Yi'an sees patients in the morning, and in the afternoon several doctors take turns training new employees. She is very busy every day and has no time to pay attention to their affairs.
It was Saturday, and she had just finished training her staff when the new receptionist nurse said, "Dr. Lin, someone is looking for you."
Lin Yi'an: "Who's looking for...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a tall figure walking in from outside.
A look of surprise appeared on her face: "Mingshi, you're back?"
Seeing the joy on her face, Zhou Mingshi smiled and walked over to hug her: "Are you done with work?"
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
Zhou Mingshi whispered in her ear, "Go home?"
Lin Yi paused for a moment, then spoke again, his voice low and deep: "I missed you."
Lin Yi-an: "I'll say hello to them."
Zhou Mingshi released her.
Lin Yi'an walked up to Dr. Li and said, "My class is over, I'm going back now."
Dr. Li glanced at Zhou Mingshi, who was standing there, and joked, "Your husband couldn't help but come to see you as soon as he got back from his business trip. He must have missed you terribly. Go back quickly, don't keep your husband waiting."
Lin Yi didn't catch her joke: "Tomorrow is the weekend, I'm off."
Dr. Li laughed and said, "You're the boss, so you call the shots."
After the two left, a new employee asked, "Was that Dr. Lin's husband?"
Dr. Li nodded.
A new employee exclaimed, "Dr. Lin's husband is way too handsome! So refined and elegant, with such a striking face..."
Dr. Li interrupted her: "Go to class."
The new employee said "Oh," and quickly ran away.
Meanwhile, Zhou Mingshi's car also arrived at Lanting Yazhu.
As soon as they got out of the car, Zhou Mingshi took Lin Yi'an's hand and led her into the house, taking her up to the second floor and into their room.
The door slammed shut.
Zhou Mingshi held her and fell onto the bed.
Before Lin Yi'an could react, his kiss landed on her lips.
When his kiss landed on her eyelids again, she whispered, "Slow down."
He didn't say anything, but kissed her while taking off her clothes.
When they were both naked, he carried her into the bathroom.
Assistant Chen was packing luggage in the back. President Zhou had also brought many gifts for his wife on this business trip, and they all had to be carefully kept.
When Ye Lingzhi finished packing Lin Yi'an's things at the Chinese medicine clinic and rushed back, he was still packing his luggage.
Ye Lingzhi looked around: "Where's Sister Yi'an?"
Assistant Chen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Assistant Ye, can I ask you a more personal question?"
Ye Lingzhi: "Don't ask about anything too personal."
Assistant Chen: "You don't have to answer, but have you ever been in a relationship?"
Ye Lingzhi had no problem answering this question. She said, "No one pursues me, and I haven't met anyone I like who I would want to pursue."
So you haven't talked about it?
With that in mind, Assistant Chen understood. He said, "President Zhou and his wife are newlyweds. They were separated for almost a week right after their wedding. Now that they're back, of course they want to be alone together. So let's get on with our work and not disturb them."
Ye Lingzhi nodded: "I won't bother them. Now that you're back, I'll have Aunt Liu prepare some of your favorite dishes."
Assistant Chen: "We do need to prepare more. President Zhou hasn't been eating well these past few days, but with the pills his wife made specifically for him, it's not as difficult as before."
Ye Lingzhi said, "President Zhou is so lucky to have married Sister Yi'an."
Assistant Chen agreed: "Tell Madam that even in France, President Zhou is thinking of her. Apart from business, he never has any contact with other women in private. She will definitely be happy."
Ye Lingzhi: "President Zhou will tell you himself."
Assistant Chen thought about it and agreed.
Just look at her, doesn't she seem to understand?
