Chapter 136 Daily Life of a Couple
As soon as Zhou Kanghui answered the phone, she started ranting on the phone.
After listening for a while, Zhou Kanghui finally understood what she meant. He sneered, "What? You're telling me this because you want my sympathy? You're mistaken. You've deceived me for over twenty years. It's finally your turn to experience the taste of being betrayed by your family. How does it feel?"
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Sun Yurong was furious; she shouldn't have called him.
Zhou Kanghui took this as just a joke. When Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi came home from get off work, he told them about it with glee. After finishing, he summarized: "I heard from Jiajia that Sun Yurong agreed to let Lao San and his wife move in with her just so they would pay for their living expenses. She probably didn't expect that Lao San didn't have much money in his pocket, yet he would still be interested in her collection. Doesn't she realize that Lao San is the kind of person who could even sell the villa his grandparents gave him? If he doesn't have money to support his family, why wouldn't he be interested in her antiques?"
Zhou Mingshi knew a little about it. He said, "The third brother invested in a chain restaurant and a club. All his money should be in those places."
Zhou Kanghui: "If he didn't go into business, didn't think about making money all day, and fantasized about becoming a wealthy family on his own, he could have lived a carefree life as a rich young master. But he insisted on showing off, trying to prove his abilities, and building a wealthy family. He was so arrogant and didn't know his own limitations. He'll regret it someday."
Yu Minhua and Zhou Qisheng knew about this, but they didn't react much. They thought that if you hit a wall once, you wouldn't wake up, but if you kept hitting it, you'd eventually wake up.
Grandparents didn't care about the third child's affairs, and Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi naturally didn't care either. The couple were busy with work and studies, and didn't have time to deal with anything else. By the time they heard from them again, they had already been kicked out by Sun Yurong and were renting a place to live on their own.
Time flies, and after the winter solstice, heavy snow began to fall over the capital.
Lin Yi'an got up early, opened the door, saw the thick snow in the yard, and went back inside. She didn't have to go to work today, and with such cold weather, she wouldn't go out.
Zhou Mingshi was still lying in bed, not moving. When she entered the room, he opened his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
Lin Yi'an: "It's seven o'clock. It snowed last night."
As she spoke, she drew back the curtains. Through the window, Zhou Mingshi looked at the thick snow outside, then shrank back into bed, looking languid, and said, "With such heavy snow, we probably can't drive on the road."
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "The transportation department will organize staff to shovel snow."
Zhou Mingshi: "The snow is still falling, and driving in rainy and snowy weather is easy to slip."
Lin Yi'an looked at him, and he said, "The old house is an hour's drive from the Zhou Group headquarters."
Lin Yi'an suddenly asked, "Are you planning to skip work?"
Zhou Mingshi said earnestly, "I am a married man now, and I must ensure my own safety in order to give my wife happiness."
Lin Yi'an found it amusing: "If you don't want to go to work, you don't want to go to work, but you've made up an excuse for yourself."
Zhou Mingshi showed no embarrassment at being exposed, and calmly smiled: "You saw through me."
Lin Yi'an said, "If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go. You've been very busy lately, often working overtime. It's no big deal to take a day off."
They had been married for more than half a year. She knew Zhou Mingshi well; if there were important matters at the company, he would definitely not slack off.
Zhou Mingshi pulled her into the bed, a faint smile in his eyes: "A man who has a wife who cherishes him is a truly happy man."
Lin Yi'an was pulled into his arms and said with a smile, "My eldest and second eldest brothers are single, and they feel quite happy about it."
Zhou Mingshi said, "We are not of the same kind."
Lin Yi paused for a moment: "Aren't they all men? How come they're not the same kind anymore?"
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Zhou Mingshi pinched her nose. "They're unmarried, I'm married. How can they understand the benefits of having a wife?"
Lin Yi'an was slightly embarrassed: "That's how it is."
Then, he quickly and abruptly changed the subject: "Should you tell Secretary Shen?"
Zhou Mingshi looked at her and smiled, then took out his phone and dialed Secretary Shen's number.
The call connected quickly: "Good morning, Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Mingshi: "Good morning!"
Secretary Shen: "President Zhou, what are the arrangements?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Your wife said that the roads were slippery due to the rain and snow, and she was worried about my safety, so she asked me to stay home and rest for a day."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
Zhou Mingshi took her hand.
Secretary Shen glanced at his phone, doubting he had misheard. He asked uncertainly, "Are you General Manager Zhou?"
Zhou Mingshi: What do you think?
Secretary Shen shuddered at his familiar tone. Who else could this be but President Zhou? Who else but President Zhou would speak to him in this tone?
He hurriedly replied, "Yes, it's still snowing, and there's nothing important at the company. Madam must be worried about you working overtime recently, and with the roads slippery, so she's letting you rest at home for a day. Just listen to Madam."
Zhou Mingshi: "Yes, you can call me if you need anything."
Secretary Shen hurriedly said, "There's nothing much going on today. We can handle any small matters without disturbing your rest."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi'an joked, "Your secretaries and assistants are all shrewd and know how to please the boss."
Zhou Mingshi: "They're not entirely observant."
Lin Yi'an asked with a smile, "But, didn't you say that yourself? How did it become my words?"
Zhou Mingshi pressed his forehead against hers: "Isn't Yi'an worried about me?"
Looking at his expression, Lin Yi'an wondered what his reaction would be if she said she wasn't worried.
She said, "I'm worried."
Experience told her that she shouldn't mess with men in this situation, so she chose to back down.
Zhou Mingshi chuckled softly, "Lin Bao'er is so well-behaved now?"
Lin Yi'an: "I wouldn't dare to be disobedient." He's not at work today, so he has plenty of time.
“…” Zhou Mingshi laughed and said, “Does Yi’an think of me as a monster?”
Lin Yi'an looked at him: "I can feel it..."
Zhou Mingshi: "What?"
Lin Yi-an: "Your body's reaction."
Before he could react, she quickly said, "Even though you're resting, I still have a lot to do."
"..." Zhou Mingshi hugged her tightly, slipping one hand under her nightgown: "It's still early, no rush."
Lin Yi'an felt that there was something wrong with their married life, and she said it out loud.
"Incompatible sex life?" Zhou Mingshi didn't expect to hear this from her. He looked at her and pressed, "Incompatible in what way?"
Just as Lin Yi'an was about to speak, he said, "Since it's not harmonious..."
Lin Yi'an: "How about..."
Zhou Mingshi followed her lead and said, "Isn't it said that practice makes perfect? Why don't we practice more?"
Lin Yi'an: "...You're already very skilled at it."
There's really no need to practice anymore.
Zhou Mingshi: "Inharmonious marital life? If you have this thought, it seems I'm not good enough."
