Chapter 183 Why are you arguing with a child?
Wen Jiu sat in the hot spring, her long hair cascading down and disappearing into the water. The marks on her body spoke volumes about how wild they had been the night before.
Rain fell from the eaves, and Wen Jiu lay there watching the rain, completely naked.
Zhou Yanchuan walked over, and she took his hand, asking him to get down.
They made love again before the rain that day.
The day I returned to Qingyang, it was already springtime and flowers were in bloom.
Zhou Yanchuan had the residence tidied up in advance, and Wen Jiu saw the courtyard full of blooming flowers as soon as she entered.
I'm back to hold my wedding.
She originally thought that her grandmother was in poor health and there was no need to rush to hold the ceremony, but they insisted that not only should they hold it, but they should hold a grand ceremony.
A group of people were busy taking care of things, and Wen Jiu was a little unsure of what to do.
Zhou Yanchuan told her that she didn't have to worry about anything and could just play with flowers and drink tea every day.
But she couldn't sit still; as the wedding day drew closer, she became increasingly uneasy.
Logically speaking, they've had their marriage certificate for so long, she shouldn't be reacting like this, but she just felt inexplicably anxious.
This was the first time they had publicly declared their relationship in front of everyone.
Over the years, she had grown accustomed to their intimate relationship, one that no one else knew about.
Living in the dark for too long makes one lose the desire for sunlight.
Just like in college, only darkness made her feel safe.
Pre-wedding anxiety happened to Wen Jiu.
At first, Zhou Yanchuan didn't realize it. It was only one night, when the person in his arms suddenly cried in her sleep, that he realized she was afraid.
He turned on a small bedside lamp and looked at her in the dim light.
Her pretty, fair face was already wet with tears. He gently stroked it, his eyes filled with heartache.
The next day, she acted as if nothing had happened, flirting with him and discussing how to choose a wedding dress.
Zhou Yanchuan called a halt to all pre-wedding preparations.
In the dead of night, holding the person in his arms, he said, "Why didn't you tell me you were scared?"
When Li Yue learned that the wedding was canceled again, she angrily returned from abroad.
"I've already canceled all my work to be a bridesmaid, what does Zhou Yanchuan mean by this?"
Wen Jiu comforted him while explaining, "It wasn't his intention."
"If it wasn't his idea, then whose was it? His grandfather?"
Wen Jiu shook her head and said softly, "It's because I'm scared."
Li Yue's anger immediately subsided, and her eyes became tense: "What are you afraid of?"
"I don't know what I'm afraid of."
Zhou Yanchuan had been so good to her that she never imagined someone would love her like that.
Even so, she didn't want a wedding that many girls dream of.
"Then we won't do it?" Li Yue's heart felt like it was bleeding.
Silly girl, you married Zhou Yanchuan.
If the president of the prestigious Nine Domains were to marry without even holding a wedding ceremony, wouldn't people say he didn't value his wife, Mrs. Zhou?
There are some unfounded rumors circulating online, such as that he was forced into marriage because of pregnancy, that Mr. Zhou doesn't care about his wife at all, and that it was a business marriage.
Li Yue was waiting to take advantage of this wedding to give those people a good slap in the face.
After all, Zhou Yanchuan's betrothal gifts covered the entire Nine Regions.
Wen Jiu was unsure whether to proceed, and whispered, "He said to wait until I'm no longer afraid before proceeding."
"Then when are you not afraid?"
"It could be a few days, or it could be a few months, or even longer."
Li Yue sighed with heartache: "You two have gotten sick from just breaking up."
They didn't even want a wedding, just to avoid disturbing the current peace and to prevent any unexpected incidents.
"It's fine if we don't hold it, as long as people are happy."
That day, the sun was shining brightly outside, so the two of them sat in the rocking chairs in the yard, basking in the sun and chatting about this and that.
Then, for some reason, Li Yue suddenly asked, "Have you thought about having children?"
Wen Jiu's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned her head to look at her.
Meeting the girl's gaze, Li Yue waved her hand dismissively, but a hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes: "I'm fine, I've recovered long ago. I just think it's a waste that you two have such good genes and don't have a child."
"If you had a child, would he be more like you or Zhou Yanchuan? I hope he'd be more like you."
"Why?"
"You're so cute. Just imagining a tiny version of you following me around calling me godmother makes me think it's adorable."
Wen Jiu smiled.
Who would you like to be like?
After asking that question, Li Yue would never forget the look of the girl beside her.
The sunlight was beautiful, but her eyes were even gentler than the sunlight.
"He can resemble anyone, we will all love him."
“You know what?” Li Yue said, “I suddenly feel like I want to be your child.”
Wen Jiu smiled again: "Then go ask Zhou Yanchuan, I have no objection."
"I'll hit you then," Li Yue said with a laugh, playfully punching her.
The two chatted until evening, after which Zhou Yanchuan came over.
Looking at the man who was quietly coaxing the girl back to her room, Li Yue felt a mixture of happiness and a faint sadness for him.
She was thinking about Jin Yiyan again.
*
Wen Jiu and Zhou Yanchuan held their wedding the following spring, an island wedding, with the group arriving two days before the ceremony.
At the hotel.
The child on the floor was crawling around on the carpet with his bottom sticking out, holding a lollipop that he hadn't torn open yet.
"Papa Candy".
He can't even pronounce "Dad" clearly, but he says "candy" fluently.
Looking at the face that resembled Song Song's seven or eight parts, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh, "How come I never thought that Song Song would be the first among us to become a father?"
A year of contemplation brings a smile; who isn't like that?
He bent down and picked up the little boy who called him "papa," then took the candy from his hand: "Call me uncle, not daddy."
The little guy looked at him, and after a few seconds said, "Papa."
Chen Yu, standing to the side, couldn't stop laughing: "Why does he keep calling you 'Dad'?"
"Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."
"Impossible, there's someone so handsome here and he didn't even shout."
"..."
Later they discovered that the child was not only calling out "Dad" randomly, but also "Mom" randomly.
As soon as Wen Jiu entered the hotel, the little guy on the ground pushed himself up with his hands, stuck out his bottom, and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, hug me."
Zhou Yanchuan glanced at him, then looked at Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu was also completely confused. Before she could react, the little guy said to Chen Si Nian again, "Papa, looking for Mommy."
Seeing the gloomy face on someone's face, Chen Yu almost burst out laughing.
Wen Jiu smiled and bent down to pick up the child from the ground: "Where's Song Song?"
"It seems there was a problem with the experiment; I've gone to call and try to resolve it."
"Baby misses Mommy, give me a kiss."
The little guy pouted and tried to kiss Wen Jiu, but before he could, Zhou Yanchuan raised his hand to stop him.
Her big eyes blinked and blinked, and then she burst into tears with a "waaaah".
Zhou Yanchuan: "..."
Wen Jiu was both annoyed and amused: "Why are you arguing with a child?"
As she spoke, she took a tissue to wipe away the person's tears and gently coaxed, "Okay, okay, don't cry."
After saying that, she kissed the little guy's cheek.
Zhou Yanchuan felt aggrieved.
The two people next to them were already laughing uncontrollably, deliberately teasing, "Exactly, why bother arguing with a child?"
"..."
When has he ever been so humiliated?
