Chapter 5 Reluctantly



Everyone around Zhou Sinian knew that he was deeply in love with his ex-wife, but unfortunately, he had a crush on her but she didn't reciprocate his feelings; they were destined to be apart.

When Yu Heng first heard about this, he was somewhat disdainful. Beautiful women are everywhere, and it's a shame that Zhou Sinian, a self-made young talent, is just like his brother, obsessed with a vain woman.

It was a disgrace to their domineering CEO. At that time, Yu Heng didn't know what it meant for the world to be unpredictable and for people to be treacherous. He only wanted to take these two people as a warning.

Who knew what would happen later? Oh well, never mind, I won't say anymore.

"I don't care. Anyway, my brother told us to take care of each other before he left. If you want to find a man, you have to go through my vetting process."

"Who do you think you are? You're really good at patting yourself on the back."

Yun Qing scoffed lightly, not taking his words seriously.

“Exactly.” Zhou Sinian quickly chimed in, “Whether she finds a man or not is her freedom. Even I, her ex-husband, don’t interfere as much as you do.”

Yu Heng retorted sharply, stabbing him in the heart: "So, you're saying you support your sister-in-law finding a third spring?"

Sister-in-law, a third spring, double kill!

Zhou Sinian seemed to have been stabbed twice; he paused, silently clutching his chest.

However, remembering the vow he had made, he forced himself to stay calm and stubbornly said, "Her love life has nothing to do with me, so there's no question of whether I support her or not."

"Tch—" Yu Heng sneered, utterly despising the man's hypocritical manner.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, you'd better keep your word and stop bothering her under the guise of Yunnan."

"What right do you have to make such a demand of me? She is the mother of my child. The healthy growth of Yunnan requires our joint efforts, and this is the duty of parents."

"Obligation? What an obligation. Zhou Sinian, do you even believe what you're saying? Can you guarantee that you have absolutely no feelings for Yun Qing and will never try to remarry her?"

"Why should I make a guarantee? Yu Heng, you're being far too unreasonable."

"How am I being unreasonable? Didn't you say yourself that Yun Qing's love life is none of your business?"

Zhou Sinian was taken aback by what he said, his eyes darting away, unable to look Yun Qing in the eye.

"That being said, as my good friend, you must know how much Yunnan longs for maternal love. If he wants a complete family, even if I'm unwilling, I will reluctantly accept it for his sake."

Yu Heng was shocked by his shameless argument and stood there speechless.

Yun Qing, on the other hand, was so excited after hearing what Zhou Sinian said that she almost jumped up.

"What do you mean by that? You're actually looking down on me, reluctantly accepting it? You're really something. If that's the case, you can rest assured, Yunnan isn't the kind of kid who forces people to do things against their will, and the situation you're worried about won't happen."

Hearing that Yun Qing was angry, Zhou Sinian was at a loss.

“I, that’s not what I meant. I meant that if you want to raise Yunnan, we can agree to remarry. Anyway, I don’t have anyone I like, so I don’t mind.”

Yun Qing was practically going crazy; she and these two people were completely on different wavelengths.

"What's the use if you don't mind? I do mind. I've never mentioned marriage or not; it's you all who've been making wild guesses. I'll reiterate one last time: I have no plans to get married for the time being."

...

The conversation ended unhappily.

Having gone through two marriages, Yunqing no longer wants to be bound by anything. She is no longer the Yunqing who longs for a family, but the Niohuru Yunqing who wants to play the world and live a carefree life.

Wasn't she choosing Yu He back then precisely for the life she has now? Why jump into another grave?

Zhou Yunnan was still asleep when he was picked up from the bed. Zhou Sinian touched his little face, looked deeply at Yun Qing, and seeing that she did not stop him at all, his heart sank. He strode away, his steps seemingly carrying a hint of exasperation.

Outside the Yu family's gate, Yu Heng sat in his car, glancing out every now and then. When he saw Zhou Sinian carrying the child out, getting into the car, and driving away, he instructed the driver in front, "Go to the company."

"OK."

Zhou Sinian took the child home, where his mother was already waiting at the door. She quickly stepped forward and took Zhou Yunnan from his arms.

Noticing her son's pale face, she couldn't help but ask, "Si Nian, did you see Yun Qing today?"

Zhou Sinian nodded silently.

"Sigh!" Ms. Bai Xiaohe sighed and earnestly advised her son, "If you ask me, you shouldn't put on airs anymore. Take the initiative to make peace with her. With Xiao Nan around, you are still different from others in her heart."

"Mom!" Zhou Sinian's expression changed instantly.

"What are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to get back together with her? Let alone apologize to her. What backbone do I have left?"

"Son, why deceive yourself? I, as your mother, know exactly what you mean. What is backbone? Can it feed you?"

His hidden thoughts were ruthlessly exposed, and Zhou Sinian was furious and embarrassed, his face flushing slightly.

"Mom, there's no way I can reason with you. Even if I were to remarry Xiaonan for her sake, would you really forgive her for abandoning us so easily? That would be spoiling her too much."

“I understand your thoughts, but that’s just Yunqing’s personality. What’s the point of arguing with her over this?”

"Mom, I know what I'm doing. You don't need to persuade me anymore. At worst, I'll just stay single for the rest of my life."

After saying that, Zhou Sinian turned and got into the car.

Yun'an Group.

An Yanan received a termination notice from the human resources department and stood there in disbelief.

"No, I don't believe it. How could President Zhou fire me?"

The HR manager scoffed, his disdainful gaze sweeping over her inch by inch, sizing her up from head to toe.

"Ha, what is there to disbelieve? In terms of education, you're at the bottom of the company. In terms of connections, your colleagues would rather stay far away from you. In terms of ability, you can't do proposals, you've spilled coffee several times, and now you can't even keep an eye on a four-year-old. I'd be surprised if President Zhou fires you now. Don't act like you've suffered some great injustice."

Hearing Manager Wang's merciless criticism, An Yanan's face burned. She had only made a small mistake. She was still a newbie in the workplace. Was it really necessary to say such things to her?

"I don't care. I will never leave the company unless I hear Mr. Zhou say with my own ears that he doesn't want me anymore."

Manager Wang was speechless, staring at her as if she were an idiot. Then, he decisively dialed the security office.

"Two people came up."
