Chapter 98 You and I are husband and wife, we prosper together and suffer together
"Mommy is busy." Zhou Xu closed the storybook and tucked the quilt for his daughter.
The little guy is the most attached to Ruoyu. He finally gets to sleep in his parents' room, but ends up not being able to see his mother.
The little girl was a little unhappy.
The little mouth curled up, and soon a layer of water overflowed, and she said aggrievedly: "I want mommy."
Only the warm light from the bedside lamp illuminated the area around the bed. Under the warm yellow light, Zhou Xu looked at her daughter tenderly, "Baby, close your eyes first. When you open them, mommy will be back."
When she heard that her mother would come back just by opening or closing her eyes, Xiao Huanyu immediately closed her eyes tightly.
After a few seconds, Xiao Huanyu asked, "Daddy, can the baby open his eyes?"
"We have to wait a little longer. The fairy is going to cast a spell to send Mom back."
"Okay~"
After more than ten seconds, Huanyue yawned and asked, "Dad, is Mom back?"
"Wait a minute, Mom is already downstairs."
"Um!"
It was Huanyue's bedtime, and children's minds were naturally wandering and forgetful. After two or three minutes, Huanyue began to breathe steadily and evenly, and fell asleep.
Zhou Xu raised the corners of his lips and leaned over to kiss the happy eyes.
After a while, he quietly got up and left the master bedroom, leaving the nanny to watch over his pleasure.
Ruoyu didn't tell Zhou Xu where she was going, but Zhou Xu knew where she was going.
…
"Don't tell the old lady that the young mistress is here today."
Zhou Xu's eyes flashed with coldness as they fell on the bodyguard who was guarding not far from the ancestral hall.
The eldest young master spoke personally, and the bodyguards nodded and agreed stiffly.
After giving the instructions, Zhou Xu walked up to the door of the ancestral hall and waited for Ruoyu.
One could vaguely hear Zhou Chaolu's muffled sobbing and Ruoyu's gentle coaxing voice.
Not long after, the door of the ancestral hall was slowly opened.
Ruoyu first stuck half of her head out to see if there were any bodyguards outside. When she saw none, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked out, then gently closed the door.
As a result, he ran into Zhou Xu when he turned around.
Ruoyu was startled and held back her voice. Like a timid lamb, she looked at Zhou Xu timidly, "Why...are you here?"
Zhou Xu walked forward slowly and held Ruoyu's hand skillfully, "Go back."
Ruoyu lowered her head, her eyes fixed on her hand that Zhou Xu was holding tightly, "Yeah."
When she left, she saw the bodyguards guarding not far from the ancestral hall.
She bit her lower lip lightly and looked at her husband again, "Did they see it?"
Zhou Xu didn't hide the fact: "Yeah."
"Will they tell grandma?" Ruoyu was a little scared.
If Zhou Chaolu's punishment became more severe because of her appearance, she would feel guilty and blame herself.
When she thought of this, Ruoyu's pace slowed down a few beats.
Zhou Xu slowed down his pace as she slowed down her movements. He glanced at Ruoyu out of the corner of his eye and said, "You shouldn't have come today."
Ruoyu pursed her lips: "Well... I know, I'm just a little worried..."
"Chaolu deserves the punishment she deserves. You shouldn't go beyond the rules and indulge her. The elders are still angry, and you will be implicated as well." Zhou Xujun's face was stern as he explained the pros and cons of the matter to Ruoyu.
Ruoyu stopped looking at her husband's serious expression and her voice became quieter. "I understand... I won't do this next time. If I have to be punished, I'll just accept it."
"No." Zhou Xu said calmly.
Ruoyu blinked twice and murmured softly, "But they saw it, didn't they?"
"I'm here."
His words are always brief and clear, yet as reliable as the mountains of Mianyang.
Ruoyu's eyes flashed with a smile, "Actually, you told your bodyguard not to tell anyone, right?"
Zhou Xu raised the corners of his lips but said nothing.
Ruoyu moved closer to him and naturally took his arm, "Thank you Zhou Xu."
"You and I are husband and wife. We share the same fate. You don't need to thank me."
"Um."
He was still serious and cold, but also strong and gentle... He was her greatest support.
Huan Yue woke up in the middle of the night.
When she opened her eyes, she found that the huge bed was empty. She usually didn't cry or make a fuss when she woke up, and was very well behaved.
He slowly got up from the bed and sat there blankly.
He seemed to hear some noise in the bathroom, and got out of bed by himself and walked towards the source of the light and sound.
Ruoyu sat on the custom-made marble washbasin, her arms weakly wrapped around Zhou Xu's neck, even her breathing was restrained.
Zhou Xu held her horizontally in his arms and kissed her eyebrows, "Thank you for your hard work."
Just as it was over, Huan Yue walked to the bathroom door and called out.
"Mom, are you in there?"
Ruoyu was so tortured by Zhou Xu that she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers. She didn't want Huanyu to see her like this.
"Put me down."
Zhou Xu didn't listen to her. He wrapped the bath towel around her, held her in his arms and opened the bathroom door.
Ruoyu:? !
Huanyu raised her little head with a confused look on her face and looked at her father who was holding her mother.
The abnormality in her body was too obvious, so Ruoyu didn't dare to say anything. She could only bury her face in Zhou Xu's arms and pretend to be asleep.
Zhou Xu made a hushed gesture to Huanyu: "Shh, Mommy is asleep."
Little Huanyu covered her little mouth sensibly, not daring to wake up her sleeping mother. She ran back to the bed obediently and waited for her father to come over with her mother.
Ruoyu sleeps in the middle, Zhou Xu sleeps on the left, and Huanyu sleeps on the right.
Huanyue was noisy while sleeping, sometimes rolling around, sometimes crawling to the end of the bed. His calves and hands would hit Ruoyu from time to time.
Zhou Xu glanced at his wife who was already exhausted and fast asleep, and his daughter who had no posture when sleeping. He first held Huanyu on the far right, leaving a large space for Huanyu to roll around as much as she wanted while sleeping.
He slept in the middle, holding his wife in his arms, squeezing into the small space.
…
The Zhou Dynasty revealed its confinement.
The Zhou family wanted to send her abroad.
But Zhou Chaolu resisted strongly.
She doesn't like foreign countries and she doesn't want to stay alone in a strange country or city.
"I won't go." Zhou Chaolu's tears of grievance were about to burst out again.
Zhou Baichen's face was cold. Facing his daughter's tears for the first time, he steeled his resolve and said, "It's not up to you."
Seeing that her father who loved her the most was serious this time, she didn't want to be alone abroad, getting to know new classmates, new things, and adapting to a new environment!
Zhao Yang turned his back and didn't look at his daughter.
Grandma deliberately didn't show up.
As the saying goes, generations apart are close. As soon as Zhou Zhaolu's tears came out, Grandma's heart was bent. The trouble Zhou Zhaolu had caused this time was truly hateful. It had caused Shi Huai to be nearly hurt by Yan Hao, and caused her second brother to be slashed on the shoulder. She had to be taught a lesson. How could just kneeling in the ancestral hall be enough?
Zhou Chaolu could only look to Zhou Xu and Ruoyu for help.
He found that Zhou Xu's face was even colder than his father's, and he instantly shrank his neck, like a quail, not daring to open his mouth to make a sound.
Ruoyu wanted to speak for herself, but Zhou Xu held her back. "Huanyue will wake up from her nap soon. Go and take a look."
Ruoyu: “Yes…”
Zhou Xu raised his eyes to look at his wife, obscure thoughts welling up in his eyes, and Ruoyu was evaded again.
Confirming that there was no other way, Ruoyu could only shake her head helplessly at Zhou Chaolu.
Zhou Chaolu clenched her fists tightly, feeling powerless and helpless, and could only let the tears fall.
Just as sending Zhou Chaolu out of the country was about to be a done deal, the servants opened the door.
He shouted, "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam is back!"
Everyone looked towards the door.
Shi Huai was wearing a down jacket and walking in front, with Zhou Jibai following behind her.
"Since Chaolu doesn't want to go abroad, don't send her. She's unfamiliar with the place, what if she gets cheated or bullied again?"
