Qin Yanzheng didn't say anything; he simply tightened his arms around her and quietly stayed with her.
Suddenly, Song Lan remembered something and couldn't help but bring her thoughts back. She said to Qin Yanzheng, "I'm thinking of having a banquet at home with two tables two weeks from now to formally acknowledge Chenchen as my godson. Do you have any thoughts on that?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng gently stroked the hair behind her head, a slight smile playing on his lips. He said, "I have no opinion. I support whatever you want to do." But he held the woman in his arms even tighter, revealing a hint of jealousy in his heart.
This wasn't out of jealousy towards Xiao Chen, a mere kid. He felt that Song Lan's ability to recognize a godparent must be inextricably linked to Xiao Yu.
Or rather, in Song Lan's heart, Xiao Yu should be someone who carries some weight!
"Actually, the formal adoption of godparents mainly stemmed from Brother Xiao's decision not to remarry, and the fact that his ex-wife's current husband's family lives in the same compound as the Xiao family. As a result, Chenchen inevitably runs into his mother on weekdays."
But as you know, that woman, Chen Shu, has practically no feelings for Brother Xiao and his son. To prevent Chenchen from suffering negative psychological effects from a lack of maternal love, I agreed immediately after Brother Xiao suggested that Chenchen formally recognize me as his godmother.
To Qin Yanzheng, Song Lan's words sounded like an explanation, explaining why she had chosen Xiao Chen as her godson.
In fact, Qin Yanzheng was right. This was indeed Song Lan explaining to him. After all, the two of them had children, so there was no need for them to become godparents. The reason they did so was due to special circumstances.
"Don't worry, wife. As long as that child comes to our home, I will treat him the same way I treat Da Bao and the others."
Qin Yanzheng's words were tantamount to clearly stating his attitude.
"I completely trust you on this point."
Song Lan gave the man a smile, then said, "My younger sister told me some gossip, do you want to hear it?"
"Gossip? Did your younger sister tell you?"
Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes revealed obvious surprise. He said, "My younger sister has never liked joining in the fun. What gossip could she possibly know?"
"It's gossip from her husband's family, or more accurately, gossip from our neighbors near the machinery factory."
Song Lan spoke softly, and upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng asked, "You mean Comrade Zhou..."
Before Qin Yanzheng could finish his sentence, Song Lan hummed in agreement, and then said, "You haven't forgotten Comrade Zhou's daughter, Zhou Shiya, have you?"
“I never keep track of outsiders, but if I’m not mistaken, the Zhou Shiya you mentioned should be Comrade Zhou’s daughter.”
Qin Yanzheng used Chen Shu's tone.
Song Lan gave the man a slightly strange look: "You're not still angry with that young girl, are you?"
"What right does she have to make me angry with her? I just feel uncomfortable thinking about how she caused you trouble."
A woman who doesn't know her own mistakes will likely stumble and fall countless times on the road of life.
Should I say, "I'm so happy"?
Song Lan teased the other party.
"Aren't you happy, my wife?"
Qin Yanzheng asked back with great interest.
"Of course I'm happy!"
Song Lan's soft voice was full of laughter.
Qin Yanzheng looked down at her, his dark eyes filled with a doting affection that could drown a person.
When he stared at her intently, Song Lan involuntarily looked away. She coughed twice to cover her discomfort and said, "Comrade Zhou's daughter, Zhou Shiya, went to the same village where my younger sister went. I don't know if she resented her parents for sending her to the countryside, but she actually got married there."
This is nothing unusual, after all, it's perfectly normal for men to marry and women to be married when they're of age. But Zhou Shiya abandoned her husband and children after getting into university.
Zhou Shiya's husband was someone who was willing to go to any lengths. He took the children to the university where Zhou Shiya was studying. When Zhou Shiya refused to acknowledge their marital relationship or their children, he knelt down in front of her with the children.
This development has undoubtedly blown things up!
Upon learning of this, the Zhou family patriarch called Comrade Zhou, but Zhou Shiya wouldn't listen to anyone. She insisted on refusing to acknowledge her husband and child, claiming that since they weren't legally married, their marital relationship was invalid. Because of this, the Zhou family patriarch has kept her at home and she hasn't returned to school to this day.
That's it?
Qin Yanzheng didn't listen to Song Lan continue, and couldn't help but ask.
"The follow-up was that Zhou Shiya's husband received a job and a property in the local county town."
Song Lan said, "Their child will likely be sent to be raised by Comrade Zhou and his wife in the future."
"When the college entrance examination was restarted last year, I thought the situation you described would occur. I didn't expect that we would learn of two cases in just one day."
Qin Yanzheng said without much emotion: "Since ancient times, people have often said, 'The righteous often avoid the lowly butchers, while the ungrateful are often scholars.' Although this saying is a bit extreme, or rather, it cannot be generalized, we often see it in real life."
For example, what we see and hear today: some people think they've gotten into university and forget about their partners who helped them through the tough times, thinking they can just walk away from them to avoid hindering their progress. Honestly, that hasn't happened in my family. If it had, I would definitely teach them a lesson!
“I support you, but reality will disappoint you. Our children are all excellent; they would never do anything immoral.”
Song Lan spoke confidently, unaware that one day her whip would come in handy.
Of course, that's a story for another time!
"You're the only one who thinks they're good!"
Qin Yanzheng gave a soft hum, expressing his dissatisfaction with his younger siblings. He felt that Song Lan's energy was not only divided up by the two of their children, but also by his own younger siblings, leaving him with less and less to do.
No, he didn't take into account the energy his wife put into her work.
In other words, Song Lan's wife only pays him a very small amount of attention.
Thinking of this, Qin Yanzheng felt extremely depressed. He finally realized a fact—in this family, he was at the bottom of the food chain!
"It's not just my opinion, it's the truth."
Song Lan smiled and looked up at the man: "Jealous? You're jealous, aren't you?"
"No."
Qin Yanzheng vehemently denied it.
"Fine, don't admit it, but your jealousy is really excessive. It makes you seem a bit..."
Song Lan didn't say what happened next.
Qin Yanzheng readily accepted the criticism: "Naïve. If you want to say I'm naïve, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush."
“I didn’t say you were naive, and I wasn’t beating around the bush.”
Song Lan put on an act of "I am very innocent".
Qin Yanzheng let out a low laugh.
Song Lan ignored him, but unexpectedly, the other party gently lifted her chin and gave her a lingering, deep kiss.
