Chapter 47 Chapter 47



Zhou Yexuan was also startled when he heard his son's panicked voice.

He quickly comforted her, "Okay Yanyan, Dad will contact Mom right away. Don't worry, just stay in the kindergarten first, okay? It's not a big deal."

Zhou Jiayan calmed down after hearing Zhou Yexuan's assurance, but he did not forget to remind him, "Okay, Dad, you must remember to contact Mom immediately."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhou Yexuan promised.

After hanging up the phone with the child, Zhou Yexuan started calling Shen Qingqing. There was a "beep, beep, beep" sound from the phone, but still no one answered.

At this time, Zhou Yexuan couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Could Shen Qingqing really have an accident? He knew that Shen Qingqing was a heavy mobile phone enthusiast and never left her phone.

But Zhou Yexuan was much calmer and more experienced than Zhou Jiayan. He quickly realized that Shen Qingqing was currently recording a variety show, and if something really happened, the production team would have already notified them.

Thinking of this, he gradually calmed down, but his hands continued to move.

Since there is live broadcast, it is better to watch the live video directly instead of making calls that may still go unanswered.

Considering that he had seen it many times, Zhou Yexuan entered Shen Qingqing's live broadcast room with ease, and then saw Shen Qingqing lying on the bed.

She's still sleeping? She's sleeping again at this hour? Is she taking a nap or has she not woken up since she got home in the morning?

Zhou Yexuan was about to frown, but soon he saw the barrage on the screen.

[My sister Shen is so miserable. I feel like she has been sad for several hours.]

[Dysmenorrhea is really painful. Every time it comes, I really want to die and I can’t do any work. 】

[Poor Sister Shen has no one around her now. The rubbish production team must have deliberately sent everyone away.]

[It’s really tragic that my husband and children are not around now. 】

[Don't worry too much, generally it's not a big deal, the pain will go away after a day. ]

After seeing the words on the barrage, Zhou Yexuan finally understood what had happened to Shen Qingqing.

Moreover, after he enlarged the screen, he could see that Shen Qingqing's face was pale and her hands were covering her lower abdomen, obviously in great pain.

However, after confirming that Shen Qingqing was only suffering from dysmenorrhea, Zhou Yexuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he quickly called Zhou Jiayan who was still worried.

Zhou Jiayan on the other end of the phone was obviously waiting for his reply, and quickly picked up the phone, "Dad, have you contacted Mom?"

Zhou Yexuan knew that the child was impatient, so she didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Yanyan, don't worry, Mommy is just feeling a little unwell, my stomach... hurts a little..."

He didn't know how to explain dysmenorrhea to the child, so he just vaguely said that Shen Qingqing had a stomachache.

When Zhou Jiayan heard Zhou Yexuan's answer, he recalled what happened that night. He opened his mouth in surprise, "Mom, is she so fragile? Why does she have a stomachache again? Did she eat something behind Yanyan's back? Woo woo woo, could she be suffering from some terminal illness?"

Zhou Yexuan was somewhat helpless about the child's sudden dispersion so far, and pinched his brows and said, "Okay, Yanyan, it's not the illness you think it is. This is a normal physiological phenomenon."

However, Shen Qingqing had had stomachache before?

Zhou Yexuan comforted Zhou Jiayan a few more times. Perhaps it was because the child was too worried, and because of the pity he felt deep in his heart, he said to Zhou Jiayan, "Okay, Yanyan, Dad will go home now to see if Mom is okay. Dad promises that Mom will be fine."

Zhou Jiayan finally felt relieved after hearing Zhou Yexuan's words. He nodded and urged, "Okay, Dad, then you should go back and see Mom."

Afterwards, Zhou Yexuan hung up the phone, looked at the black screen, and smiled silently. This kid has now completely devoted his heart to Shen Qingqing. It seems that he has never seen him so excited before.

However, he himself seemed to be very worried about Shen Qingqing. Although he knew that she should be fine, he still couldn't help but put down the work in his hands and go back to see her. He obviously still had a lot of work to deal with today, and he might not be able to finish it even if he worked overtime at the normal pace.

He stood up, picked up his coat hanging beside him, and called his assistant, "Ma Li, postpone the next meeting. At the same time, notify the driver to prepare a car for me. I'm going back now."

Zhou’s headquarters was not far from the old neighborhood where they lived now, but he returned to his current residence in just twenty minutes.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the mobile phone on the coffee table. It turned out that Shen Qingqing did not bring the mobile phone into the bedroom. No wonder she had not answered the call.

At this time, Zhou Yexuan also appeared in the live broadcast camera.

[Oh my god, Mr. Zhou is finally back, Qingqing is finally saved. ]

[Mr. Zhou quickly made some brown sugar water for Qingqing and took care of his wife.]

[Don't be superstitious. I think Mr. Zhou should go buy some painkillers for Qingqing.]

[I also agree to buy painkillers directly. Sisters, research shows that you should not be afraid of taking painkillers to harm your body. In fact, forcing yourself to have dysmenorrhea will do more harm to your body. ]

He walked straight into the bedroom and saw Shen Qingqing curled up on the bed.

At this moment, her face was pale and her usually rosy lips had lost their color, making her look extremely pitiful.

Zhou Yexuan reached out and touched Shen Qingqing's forehead, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she did not have a fever. It seemed that Shen Qingqing did have a stomachache due to dysmenorrhea, and it did not cause any illness in other parts of her body.

Shen Qingqing was sleeping uneasily to begin with, and woke up when she felt the man's touch.

She opened her hazy eyes and saw Zhou Yexuan standing in front of her.

An idea suddenly occurred to her mind: Is it time to get off work now?

Otherwise, why would Zhou Yexuan appear at home?

If it's time to get off work, then the kindergarten must have finished school long ago, so doesn't that mean there's no one to pick up Yanyan?

Then, a scene began to emerge in her mind: the child was alone in an empty kindergarten classroom, with all her friends around her having left.

So Shen Qingqing suddenly sat up from the bed, she had to go pick up the child!

Today is the first day. It would be too pitiful if no one picked up the child on the first day. Thinking of the child's pitiful expression, Shen Qingqing felt as if her heart was being pulled.

Zhou Yexuan was a little shocked when he saw Shen Qingqing suddenly sitting up.

What was she doing? Why did she sit up all of a sudden? Did she think he was a burglar and wanted to beat him up again?

He quickly said, "Qingqing, you're not feeling well now, so you should lie down and rest for a while. And I just came in to take care of you, I didn't do anything else, you can rest assured."

Shen Qingqing instantly sensed the unspoken meaning in Zhou Yexuan's words. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. Zhou Yexuan was looking down on her too much. Was she that stupid?

Although Shen Qingqing forced herself to sit up at this time, she still had no strength in her body. She was too lazy to explain to Zhou Yexuan and just made a gesture as if she was going to get up, but was blocked by Zhou Yexuan.

"You're already like this, you should take a rest first. I can help you with anything."

Reminded by Zhou Yexuan's words, Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered that Zhou Yexuan was also the child's father, so it was natural to ask him to pick up the child from school.

So she said weakly, "Yanyan has finished school, right? I haven't picked him up yet. Go pick him up and take him home. It's very sad for a child to have no one to pick him up after school."

After hearing this, Zhou Yexuan suddenly realized that Shen Qingqing was so anxious because she was thinking about picking up the child from school.

He thought of Zhou Jiayan's anxious look before, and couldn't help but chuckle. Is this considered a two-way rush? It seems that the boy's feelings have not been let down.

But it's only two o'clock now, and it's not time to go out of school yet. What kind of child is he going to pick up?

He smiled and explained, "Don't worry, it's only two o'clock now, and it's not time to get out of school yet. I'll pick him up when the time comes."

Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhou Yexuan's words. Fortunately, the time had not yet come, otherwise she would have let the child down again.

After careful consideration, Shen Qingqing found that she seemed to have let the child down several times. Although many times it was unintentional, she really didn't want to see the child's disappointed and sad expression.

The crisis was resolved, and another question popped up in Shen Qingqing's mind, "Then why did you come back suddenly? I remember you said in the morning that you were very busy at work and had to work overtime in the evening."

Zhou Yexuan sighed and said, "You left your phone in the living room. Yanyan called you just now but no one answered. She was worried that something happened to you, so she called me again. I opened the live video and found you curled up on the bed with a pale face. I thought about it and decided to come back to check."

So that's how it is.

Shen Qingqing felt relieved. It turned out that the little brat had always been thinking about her. When he couldn't contact her, he anxiously called Zhou Yexuan to ask him to come back to see her. It turned out that her son was much more reliable than a man!

"Then did you tell Yanyan that I was fine?"

Zhou Yexuan nodded, "Of course. If I hadn't said anything, that kid would have gone home right now."

After hearing Zhou Yexuan's answer, Shen Qingqing finally felt relieved and lay back on the bed.

Zhou Yexuan was indeed a very comprehensive and thoughtful person. On his way back, he had already searched for ways to relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

Seeing that Shen Qingqing was fine, he said, "I'll go boil you a pot of hot water. I've also bought some painkillers and brown sugar. You should feel better after taking them."

Shen Qingqing was touched by Zhou Yexuan's considerate behavior, but she soon thought of the money. "Wait, you are not buying on credit again and waiting for me to pay? I really have no money this time. If it really doesn't work, you will have to pay with your body."

[Hahahaha, my sister Shen really has a hard time today. At this moment, all she can think about is money.]

【Who told the production team not to behave like human beings? 】

[I think the production team really went too far. They made Sister Shen suffer like this. I think other families are doing fine.]

[I think the main reason is that the production team didn't expect that there would be such an emergency. If Sister Shen hadn't had her period suddenly, she wouldn't be so miserable.]

Zhou Yexuan was also speechless for a moment, but he was still thinking about money at this time. It seemed that Shen Qingqing's health was indeed not serious.

He quickly explained, "Don't worry, the production team finally made it this time. I bought it with my own money, so you don't need to pay for it when the time comes."

After hearing these words, Shen Qingqing finally felt relieved.

But then she quickly felt a little regretful. Why was Zhou Yexuan so stupid that he didn't take this opportunity to buy some more food? Then their crisis would be greatly resolved.

Considering Shen Qingqing's current situation of being unable to take care of herself, and the fact that he had to go pick up Yanyan later, Zhou Yexuan naturally decided not to go back to work.

He handed the brown sugar water and painkillers to Shen Qingqing, "Eat it, and then rest for a while and you'll probably be fine. As for Yanyan, don't worry, I'll pick him up later."

Shen Qingqing had no strength left in her body and looked more obedient than ever before.

She took the medicine obediently, and drank the brown sugar water obediently. After the hot water went down her throat, Shen Qingqing didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or the painkillers took effect so quickly, but she actually felt a lot more comfortable.

Seeing that Shen Qingqing's expression had eased a lot, Zhou Yexuan decided to leave the bedroom and let Shen Qingqing rest by herself.

After all, he really couldn't help her with things like dysmenorrhea.

However, after Shen Qingqing felt better, she began to feel hungry.

She thought of the meal Zhou Yexuan cooked last night and couldn't help licking her lips.

Although her cooking skills were not as good as those of a chef, they were tempting enough for a hungry woman like her.

But Yanyan was not around, and she didn’t know whether this man would give her face and cook for her.

At the moment when Zhou Yexuan was about to leave the bedroom, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhou Yexuan's clothes, her eyes wet and flattering, "Well, Yexuan, I'm not feeling well today. So I didn't have time to make lunch. Now I'm so hungry, can you help me cook something?"

Zhou Yexuan paused. Shen Qingqing hadn't eaten yet?

He really wanted to teach Shen Qingqing to eat on time when she was sick, but when he lowered his head, he saw Shen Qingqing's eyes looking at him. Probably because she had just woken up, her eyes were still filled with tears, and she looked very pitiful.

Besides, she was sick today, so it was normal that she couldn't cook for herself.

Zhou Yexuan sighed, and could no longer say what he wanted to say before. He softened his voice and said, "You should take a rest first. I will go make lunch for you now."

After saying this, he resigned himself to going into the kitchen, planning to cook for Shen Qingqing, and then he saw the miserable situation in the kitchen.

Well, he would rather Shen Qingqing didn't go into the kitchen and do it herself. It would take him half an hour to clean up the mess in the house.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Yexuan appeared at the kindergarten gate on time to pick up Zhou Jiayan and take him home.

Zhou Jiayan should have been very happy that his father came to pick him up in person, but this also meant that his mother was really not feeling well and could not come to pick him up.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiayan couldn't help but feel depressed, and urged Zhou Yexuan, "Dad, let's go home quickly, Mom is still waiting for us at home."

As he said that, he ran forward with his small schoolbag on his back.

Zhou Yexuan looked at her son's anxious expression, and knew what he was thinking. She nodded and said, "Okay, Yanyan, Mom is fine, run slower."

However, despite saying so, Zhou Yexuan still quickened his pace and caught up with Zhou Jiayan in a few steps.

Soon, the father and son returned to their current "home". The room was quiet and it was obvious that Shen Qingqing was still sleeping.

After Zhou Jiayan put down his small schoolbag, he ran straight into the bedroom and saw Shen Qingqing lying on the bed.

At this time, the woman had her eyes closed, but her face was rosy, no longer as pale as before, and she had obviously recovered.

However, little Zhou Jiayan was still a little worried, so he ran to the bed, stretched out his little hand to touch Shen Qingqing's forehead, and confirmed Shen Qingqing's body temperature again.

Shen Qingqing was just a little drowsy because she had just eaten, but she didn't sleep very soundly because she had slept enough before. After being touched by the child, she woke up and saw the worried face of the little girl.

"Yanyan, you're done with school."

Zhou Jiayan nodded, and was obviously very happy to see Shen Qingqing wake up, "Yeah, I'm done with school."

Shen Qingqing had almost recovered except for some dull pain in her lower abdomen. She planned to sit up and talk to Zhou Jiayan, but she didn't expect that as soon as she tried to get up, Zhou Jiayan held her down.

Shen Qingqing was surprised. What happened?

Zhou Jiayan said, "Mom, just lie down and take a rest. Tell Yanyan if you want anything and she will get it for you."

Shen Qingqing felt amused. Yanyan really treated her like a fragile porcelain doll. In fact, she was almost healed.

However, seeing her son so well-behaved, Shen Qingqing's mind became active again. This was a treatment she had never enjoyed before!

"Yanyan, can you help mom get the phone? It's on the coffee table in the living room."

Yes, although Zhou Yexuan came back to cook for her and brought her medicine, he ruthlessly rejected Shen Qingqing's request for a mobile phone. In his words, playing with a mobile phone while lying in bed is bad for the eyes.

In response, Shen Qingqing argued that she could sit up and play with her phone, but was still ruthlessly rejected by Zhou Yexuan.

In addition, Shen Qingqing was too lazy to move before and fell asleep in a daze, so it has been delayed until now.

Now that she has a ready-made little "slave" to use, Shen Qingqing certainly doesn't intend to miss it.

However, Zhou Jiayan, like Zhou Yexuan, rejected her request and said in a very old-fashioned way, "No, Mom, you'd better get more rest now. Playing with your phone is not good for your eyes."

Shen Qingqing was dumbfounded. Should she sigh that these two people are really worthy of being father and son? Not only did they reject people, but even the reasons for rejecting were the same!

A big old-fashioned man taught a little old-fashioned man!

She turned sideways, indicating that she didn't want to pay any more attention to Zhou Jiayan. Damn it, he didn't help her get her phone but asked her to make other requests.

In the past, Zhou Jiayan would have left in anger when he saw his stepmother ignoring him. However, today he did not leave. Instead, he climbed onto the bed and came to the other side of Shen Qingqing, his big eyes full of concern and questions.

"Mom, where do you feel uncomfortable? Yanyan can help you massage it."

Seeing the child like this, Shen Qingqing had no time to be angry.

In fact, her stomach doesn’t hurt that much anymore, just a little dull pain, but since her son is willing to “show his filial piety”, she naturally cannot refuse.

Shen Qingqing pointed to her lower abdomen and said, "It hurts here."

Zhou Jiayan looked at where Shen Qingqing pointed, then stretched out his little hand and touched it.

The child's hands were soft and warm. Shen Qingqing didn't know if it was more of a psychological effect or if Zhou Jiayan's hands acted like a warm baby, but she felt her whole body was warmed up.

[Yanyan is really a warm-hearted little angel, her little hands look so soft. ]

[I also want Yanyan to rub my belly. Yanyan, come and rub my belly. It’s very soft. ]

[Hahaha, did the guy above reveal that he has a small belly? ]

[If I were Shen Qingqing, my heart would melt. Although it is useless in a physical sense, it is psychologically refreshing.]

After letting Zhou Jiayan rub his belly for about five minutes, Shen Qingqing stopped him when she saw that his hands were a little sore. She said softly, "Mom is much better now. Rubbing your belly is very helpful, but you are still young. Just rub it for a while. Take a rest."

Zhou Jiayan was very excited to hear Shen Qingqing's praise, and said, "Wait for Yanyan to rest for a while, then rub mommy's belly."

Then he leaned his whole body into Shen Qingqing's arms and asked, "Mom, why does your stomach hurt? You've had stomachache twice in the past half month."

Shen Qingqing didn't know how to answer the child's question about her menstrual cramps, so she chose the same approach as Zhou Yexuan and said vaguely, "Girls always have those days every month, so don't worry about it."

However, this time Zhou Jiayan was determined to get to the bottom of the matter. In fact, he hated it most when adults fooled him, thinking he was a child who knew nothing.

"But you've already had pain twice in half a month!"

Shen Qingqing: How can I explain to him that these two kinds of pain are not the same pain...

And did Shen Qingqing feel that she could really explain it clearly to a five-year-old child?

She thought for a while and finally decided not to argue with the kid. "Okay, okay, mommy just had a stomachache. That's it, Yanyan, don't ask any more questions."

After hearing Shen Qingqing's explanation, Zhou Jiayan felt somewhat satisfied. Then he opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Qingqing, as if he had made some major discovery.

"I know, Mom, did you have a stomachache after eating the noodles last night? Yanyan said that the noodles were poisonous and couldn't be eaten!"

Shen Qingqing: We can’t keep this broken child! Why do I always hit her sore spot?

Shen Qingqing was finally saved by Zhou Yexuan when he invited them to dinner.

Considering Shen Qingqing's inconvenience in traveling, Zhou Yexuan has temporarily taken control of the family's financial power. Therefore, he took the money to buy vegetables and prepare dinner tonight.

Of course, considering that he didn't have much money, he only bought vegetables, so the table is now full of green.

Zhou Jiayan had a pretty good lunch at kindergarten at noon, with vegetables, meat and fruit, but he didn't think there was anything special about it.

But for Shen Qingqing, who had not eaten meat, she couldn't help feeling a little desperate when she saw that it was just porridge and side dishes.

People are always more vulnerable when they are sick. Although he knew rationally that he was being tricked by the program crew and it was not easy for Zhou Yexuan to prepare such a dinner, he still couldn't bear it emotionally.

Especially since she had suffered from excruciating pain for several hours today, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart, "I really want to eat meat, God, please let me eat meat."

[Who would have thought that a female celebrity who makes a living by her looks would shout on a show that she wants to eat meat? Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature? ]

[Replying to the above, this is the show crew being unhuman, Xu Gou is morally corrupt and has no humanity. ]

【As someone who watched the entire live broadcast, I think Shen Qingqing really hadn't eaten meat for two days. It was so miserable.】

[As a carnivore, I understand Shen Qingqing's pain. ]

[The production team really went too far. Although you won’t starve to death if you eat less meat for a few days, it’s not good for your health.]

Zhou Yexuan also knew that Shen Qingqing had not eaten well these past two days, but wasn’t this a program being recorded?

He patiently explained, "Qingqing, it's not that I don't want to buy meat, I just have no money."

After saying this, he waited for Shen Qingqing to refute him with her always eloquent mouth.

However, Shen Qingqing sighed, and after a while she said in a sad tone, "I remembered a saying, 'A poor couple has many sorrows.' Now it is the best adjective to describe us."

When Zhou Jiayan heard Shen Qingqing's sigh, he also sighed. For the first time in his life, he felt that the father in front of him was not as great as he had always thought.

He said with disdain, "Dad, you are so useless. You can't even make any money, and Yanyan and mom have to live without even meat to eat."

Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Qingqing, "Mom, it's a pity that Yanyan is still young. When Yanyan grows up and can make money, I will definitely let you live a life with meat to eat!"

Although these were just the words of a five-year-old child, Shen Qingqing was still very moved. She reached out and hugged Zhou Jiayan, shouting, "Yanyan, you still have a conscience. Mom is so touched."

Zhou Jiayan also replied, "Woo woo woo, you are my mother, Yanyan will definitely treat you well."

[Hahaha, here's a joke. President Zhou is despised by his wife and children for being useless and unable to make money.]

[Shen Qingqing and Yanyan are getting better and better at understanding each other, especially when they are trying to trick Mr. Zhou. ]

[Mr. Zhou has probably never been so speechless in his life. His image in the eyes of his wife and children collapsed after participating in a variety show.]

[I really want to know what Zhou's employees would think when they see this scene. Maybe their faith will collapse.]

[Zhou's competitors were speechless after seeing this. If Mr. Zhou was so useless, what were they? Hahaha.]

Zhou Yexuan, who was standing aside, looked at this pair of dramatic mother and son and felt as if he had been shot several times. Was he despised by Yanyan for being useless and by Shen Qingqing for being heartless?

This was the first time in his thirty years of life that he had been despised by someone, and someone despised him for not being able to make money!

Zhou Yexuan looked at the mother and son huddled together, his hands clenched into fists. Even if he didn't go to work tomorrow, he would find a way to make money to improve his life!
