Cheng Zaozao forced a smile, "Maybe it's because I just watched a very touching movie, so I feel a little sad."
"Um."
"Sis, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
"I'm a little hungry, so I came down to find something to eat."
"You're pregnant, so you need to eat something nutritious and warm. I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Qiao Wanwan did not refuse, "Alright, but thank you for your trouble."
Cheng Zaozao looked at her and said, "Sister, you've never been this polite to me before."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and changed the subject, "I want something sour, can you just cook me some tomato and egg noodles?"
"good."
Cheng returned to the kitchen early, tied on an apron, found tomatoes and eggs in the refrigerator, and took out a few shrimp, which she then prepared efficiently.
With nothing else to do, Qiao Wanwan stood by and watched her busy herself.
"Sister," Cheng Zaozao asked while preparing shrimp, "Is Zhan Yin angry with me? Did he criticize me after I left?"
"You've known him for so long, don't you know his temper?" Qiao Wanwan said calmly. "Zhan Yin has no bad intentions, and he doesn't hold grudges. He will immediately put the past behind him, so he doesn't live a tiring life."
Cheng Zaozao's face paled. "Sister, do you mean I'm living a very tiring life?"
“I didn’t say that.” Qiao Wanwan looked at her. “But Zaozao, you’re so worried, it must be exhausting. I just said that Zhan Yin is kind-hearted and doesn’t hold grudges, so he’s not tired. But you insist on taking it out on yourself. So let me ask you, do you think you’re kind-hearted and hold grudges?”
Cheng Zaozao bit her lower lip, choking back tears, and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so worried..."
"Zaozao, don't be like this." Qiao Wanwan said seriously, "You cry all the time, which makes you seem like a green tea bitch. Maybe your tears are useful to some people, but right now, they are really useless. Zhan Yin didn't bully you, I didn't bully you, but your tears will mislead others and make it seem like we've wronged you."
"Sister, I'm sorry..." Cheng Zaozao hurriedly wiped away her tears. "I won't cry anymore..."
"I feel like you've changed a lot since you escaped death." Qiao Wanwan looked at her in confusion. "You used to be a little timid, but you were simple-minded and wouldn't be like this. Zaozao, I don't want you to be a very successful person. I just want you to be a genuine and upright person. What you said to Zhan Yin today was really sarcastic and unpleasant to hear. If you treat everyone like this, you'll become very annoying."
Qiao Wanwan stepped forward, took a tissue and helped her wipe her tears. "Honest advice may be hard to hear, but what I'm saying may be a little harsh, but it's very true. You must listen to it."
"I'm sorry, sis..." Cheng Zaozao sobbed, "It's my fault for making you angry. I promise I won't make you angry again."
"I'm not angry, just a little sad," Qiao Wanwan said. "You must remember what I said, okay?"
"good."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Qiao Wanwan patted her hair. "I'll cook the noodles myself. You go and rest."
"You said I'd come." Cheng Zaozao sniffed and smiled. "Sis, I haven't cooked for you in a long time, so let me do it."
"good."
A steaming bowl of egg noodles was quickly served, topped with a few peeled shrimp. "Sis, have a taste."
"You cooked too much, I'll share half with you."
"No, I'm not hungry."
"I can't finish it and it would be a waste. How about this, I'll take it upstairs and eat it with Jingting."
"good."
Qiao Wanwan carried the noodles upstairs. "Jingting, you cooked noodles for me early this morning. Let's eat together."
Zhan Jingting threw back the covers and got out of bed, walking towards her. He casually said, "Just have the servants cook it. Why bother her?"
"I happened to run into her, and she insisted on cooking for me."
"This noodle looks delicious," Zhan Jingting said. "I'm actually quite hungry. I'll have this bowl of noodles, and I'll go make you some wontons, okay?"
"It's rare for you to want something so much, of course I'll let you have it," Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. "Here you go."
"I'm going downstairs to eat. You stay here and wait patiently."
"good."
Not long after, Zhan Jingting brought in the wontons.
"How come it's so fast?"
"I was worried you'd be hungry, so I ate quickly." Zhan Jingting placed the wontons on the table. "Eat them while they're hot."
"Thank you, honey."
"You're welcome." Zhan Jingting sat beside her, watching her eat. "How does it taste?"
"Very good." Qiao Wanwan asked while eating, "Is the noodles I cooked so early delicious?"
"generally."
Qiao Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Zaozao rarely cooks, please understand."
"Yeah, just tell her not to do it again."
"I can't say that. They were just being kind by cooking for me."
Zhan Jingting didn't reply, "Eat quickly."
"Um."
......
The next morning, Zhan Yin and Xiang Yang went on a trip abroad together.
With Zhan Yin gone, Wutong Bay suddenly became much quieter. Qiao Wanwan stayed home to rest during her pregnancy and couldn't run around or move around much. Apart from spending time with the baby, she could only read books.
Fortunately, Zhan Jingting is spending more and more time at home.
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's almost the end of the year, won't the Imperial View Group be very busy?"
"No matter how busy I am, nothing is more important than you," Zhan Jingting said. "I'll go to work at Dijing while you're sleeping in the morning, come back to have lunch with you at noon, and stay home with you in the afternoon. If there's work to do, I'll handle it at home."
