Chapter 58: Peeping and lying are your strengths, don’t pretend
Zhou Jibai pinched her cheek: "Shi Huai, your body is not just your own now."
Shi Huai lowered her eyes to her belly. Her and Zhou Jibai's child was almost three months old, but her pregnant belly was not that obvious yet.
"I know." Shi Huai replied to Zhou Jibai a little embarrassedly, "I will combine work and rest."
Zhou Jibai said nothing.
Seeing this, Shi Huai took the initiative to hug his neck and kissed his cheek several times, "Baby daddy, don't you believe me?"
Zhou Jibai's body suddenly straightened, his amber pupils lowered as he stared at Shi Huai for a moment, then he sighed softly, "Go out and move around."
"Okay~" Shi Huai agreed readily.
Just as Shi Huai left Zhou Jibai's arms, he once again looked at the bird's head on the table, which he only needed two strokes to outline.
She smiled sheepishly at Zhou Jibai, showing her white teeth, and raised three fingers in front of his eyes: "Give me another half an hour, okay? Just half an hour! I swear!"
Zhou Jibai: "..."
Zhou Jibai's expression gradually turned colder, while Shi Huai chuckled slyly, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent?"
Then she pouted again and blew Zhou Jibai several kisses.
Zhou Jibai turned his head away from the cunning little liar: "Twenty minutes."
"That's fine, that's fine! It's all up to you!"

Zhou Jibai has a social event tonight and will be home late.
Shi Huai received a call from Zhou Jibai and almost laughed out loud when he heard the news.
Zhou Jibai usually stays up all night when he's out having fun! Today, without Zhou Jibai watching over me, I can paint for a few more hours!
Shi Huai finished dinner early today and went straight into the study, concentrating on the restoration.
At the dinner table, Zhou Jibai listened absentmindedly to the person next to him reporting on the project progress, repeatedly opening and closing the lid of the lighter in his hand, making a crisp tinkling sound.
The director who was reporting on his work at the side silently wiped his sweat in his heart. Could it be that Mr. Zhou had objections to the project he proposed?
"That Mr. Zhou——"
"What time is it now?" Zhou Jibai interrupted the person next to him, threw the lighter casually on the table, and asked in a deep voice.
The director hurriedly glanced at his phone: "It's only half past ten."
It's half past ten.
I don’t know if Shi Huai has had a good rest.
When Zhou Jibai thought of Shi Huai's opportunistic behavior and his pretentiousness in front of him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
This little liar who talks nonsense must have made her very happy by going to the social event alone today, right?
The director was startled when he heard Zhou Jibai's sudden sneer. He asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhou, is there any problem with this plan?"
"no problem."
Zhou Jibai stood up from his chair, and the movement of standing up made a noise as the chair beneath him moved. Seeing this, everyone around the table stood up as well.
"Mr. Zhou, what are you doing..."
Zhou Jibai patted the director's shoulder and said, "Take them to relax today. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Zhou Jibai picked up his coat and turned to leave.

It was already late at night when Zhou Jibai returned to the old house. He got out of the car and went to the residential area.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the direction of the study, and light was shining through the glass windows.
He glanced at the hour and minute hands on his watch and saw it was already half past eleven.
Zhou Jibai felt a little angry. He pinched his brows, shook his head helplessly, and went upstairs to the study to find Shi Huai.
As soon as he opened the study door, Zhou Jibai looked towards the desk and found that there was no one in front of it.
He walked into the study, wondering where everyone had gone.
As a result, when I turned my head, I saw Shi Huai sleeping on the sofa.
Warm yellow light spread on Shi Huai. She lay on her side, like a light feather sinking into the soft sofa. Her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was not sleeping very relaxedly.
Zhou Jibai moved gently, walked to Shi Huai's side and squatted down slowly.
"Shi Huai." He called her name in a low voice.
Shi Huai raised his sleepy face slightly and stared blankly at Zhou Jibai's face, "Are you back?"
She was still sleepy and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Um."
Zhou Jibai reached out and picked her up sideways.
Shi Huai subconsciously buried her face in his arms, "Well, I'll just sleep for a while."
"Go to sleep."
"Then remember to call me..." Her voice was soft and weak, becoming softer and softer as she spoke, and she soon fell asleep again.
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes to look at Shi Huai's sleeping face and sighed softly.
"You've worked hard to make grandma happy."
…
After a long time of restoring the original work, Zhou Jibai no longer fell for Shi Huai's cute and coquettish behavior.
It's already eleven o'clock.
Zhou Jibai put the magazine in his hand on the coffee table, stood up and went to the desk to let Shi Huai go back to sleep.
Shi Huai: "Just a little bit more, give me a little more time!"
"No." Zhou Jibai refused with a cold face.
Seeing that Zhou Jibai disagreed, Shi Huai raised her watery eyes and stared at him.
Zhou Jibai remained unmoved.
Shi Huai ran to his side again, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, clasping her hands together and begging him, "Just a little while! Grandma and the others will be back in half a month."
Zhou Jibai didn't take her plea seriously at all. He just picked her up and carried her out of the study.
"Zhou Jibai! Let me go!" Shi Huai's face flushed red, and he struggled to get out of Zhou Jibai's arms like a little carp.
Zhou Jibai was not affected by her at all. He walked back to the bedroom with steady steps and put her on the bed before letting her go.
Shi Huai sat up and stared at Zhou Jibai's face angrily, "Can't you be flexible?"
Zhou Jibai said impartially, "No."
Seeing Zhou Jibai's tough attitude and unwillingness to give in, Shi Huai simply gave up and lay back on the bed, turned his back to Zhou Jibai and ignored him.
Zhou Jibai's hands clung to her body: "You're not tall, but you have a big temper."
Shi Huai took the hand off his body: "Yes, yes, yes! I just love to get angry!"
"Be at peace and have a good rest."
"I had a good rest! I'm not tired!" Shi Huai said angrily to him.
Seeing that Shi Huai was stubborn and in a bad mood, Zhou Jibai raised his hand and slapped her buttocks twice. The force was neither too strong nor too weak, neither painful nor itchy, but the crisp slapping sound made Shi Huai feel too embarrassed to bear it.
“You you you you!”
Shi Huai subconsciously protected his buttocks with both hands, stood up and glared at Zhou Jibai.
Zhou Jibai took in her shy expression, and without blushing or beating his heart, he asked, "I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to come in and watch for a while?"
The shameless invitation made Shi Huai's face flushed, "I, I won't look at it!"
"Peeping and lying are your strengths, so don't pretend." Zhou Jibai pinched her cheek and teased.
Shi Huai:!!!
“Get out of here!!”
After being disturbed by Zhou Jibai, she could no longer concentrate on restoring the original work.
