After being married for a year, she had some understanding of Zhao Dafa's temper.
Although Zhao Dafa didn't get angry with her or say anything unpleasant, she could feel that he was unhappy.
"Dafa, I just feel sorry for you. You followed Mr. Liu from Longchang for three months and drank with him countless times. You were about to win him, but it was ruined because of such a small matter. I am really angry."
Zhao Dafa raised his hand to stop her from speaking, "Let's go for a walk and have a chat."
Zhou Hui had no choice but to nod.
"Hui, I told you when we first started dating that I just wanted to find a good wife and mother who could help me manage the home and take good care of Xiaoyun. That's enough."
"I will take care of my business matters myself. You really don't need to worry about it, and you shouldn't go to Sister Shen to make trouble."
Zhou Hui opened her mouth to defend herself, but when she met Zhao Dafa's indifferent look, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"I was wrong, Dafa, don't be angry, I will listen to you from now on."
Zhao Dafa was silent, as if he was making a decision.
Zhou Hui felt inexplicably uneasy, "Dafa, you go to work, I'll go back first."
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhao Dafa grabbed her arm.
"Hui, after spending a year together, I don't think we are a good match."
Zhou Hui's face turned pale, tears quickly filled her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Dafa, I really know I was wrong. I promise I won't do anything to make you unhappy again."
A husband and wife for a day are bound by a hundred days of grace.
Faced with Zhou Hui's crying and pleading, Zhao Dafa felt a little bit reluctant, but he also understood the nature of a businessman very clearly.
If you hesitate to make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences.
"Hui, you've suffered a lot this past year. Xiaoyun has a bad temper and I can't control him, so I want to find someone to help me manage him, but he resists you. To be honest, I'm in a difficult position being caught in the middle."
"Or, let's just forget about it. You can ask for anything, and I'll try my best to satisfy it."
"Think about it."
She did need to think carefully about how she could stay instead of being kicked out.
Staring at Zhao Dafa's back, Zhou Hui's eyes were full of unwillingness.
…
When she got home, the nanny brought her breakfast.
Wontons in fresh soup, with dried shrimp and seaweed in the soup to enhance the flavor.
Usually Zhou Hui likes to eat it this way, but today she started retching as soon as the wontons entered her mouth.
Meeting the nanny's surprised and puzzled look, Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic.
…
It was already very late when Zhao Dafa returned home.
Zhou Hui did not go back to her room to sleep, but sat on the sofa in the living room, as if waiting for him.
"Da Fa, you are finally back."
Zhou Hui no longer cried sadly in the morning, her face was filled with joy and anticipation, which made Zhao Dafa very puzzled.
"What do you think? Or, I can buy you a house. This is what I promised Xiaowen before."
Zhou Hui didn't respond to him, but handed him a list in her hand.
Zhao Dafa took it and looked at it, and was completely stunned.
After a long while, he looked up and said to Zhou Hui, "Let me think about this."
"good."
Zhou Hui was not in a hurry. She just didn't believe that Zhao Dafa didn't even want his own blood.
Even God was on her side, letting her get pregnant at this time.
She sat down in Mrs. Zhao's seat.
…
Zhou Hui ate with gusto, but Zhao Yun looked unhappy.
"Why are they all sour? Can't we afford other dishes?"
Zhou Hui glanced at Zhao Dafa, put down her chopsticks and was about to announce the good news, but Zhao Dafa spoke first.
"Xiaoyun, I want to ask you something."
Zhao Yun picked at the rice grains with a dull look, "Just ask."
Zhao Dafa picked up a duck leg and put it in his bowl, then said, "Do you want a brother or sister?"
Zhao Yun was not a kid who knew nothing. He looked at Zhou Hui first.
Under Zhou Hui's excited and expectant eyes, he calmly said:
"In no mood."
Zhou Hui was stunned.

Zhao Dafa looked at his son for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Hui looked at Zhao Dafa in disbelief, unable to believe that he would give up this hard-earned bloodline just because his son said he didn't want to.
Liang Xiaowen reacted belatedly and ran to Zhou Hui with a look of surprise on her face, "Mom, are you pregnant?"
"Dad, Mom is going to give me a brother or sister?"
Zhao Dafa took a deep look at the mother and daughter, and said with a faint smile: "No, it's nothing, I just asked casually."
Zhou Hui would never have dreamed that Zhao Dafa's originally hesitant and guilty heart would completely cool down after hearing her daughter's unintentional words.
When the stepdaughter said, "Give me a brother or sister," she subconsciously excluded her son.
If Zhou Hui really gave birth to the baby in her belly, and the mother and her two children were united in purpose, how could there be a place for his son in this family? "I don't want to eat anymore!"
Zhao Yun threw down his chopsticks and left angrily.
Zhao Dafa ignored his son and sent his stepdaughter back to her room, then told Zhou Hui about his plan.
Zhou Hui's tears immediately fell, "Dafa, do you want to think about it again? This is your biological child, the blood of your Zhao family, how can you just say no to him?"
Zhao Dafa's expression was easygoing, but his words were cold and cruel.
"I already have Xiaoyun. The Zhao family has a successor. We don't need another rival to compete with Xiaoyun."
Hearing this, Zhou Hui immediately realized that the problem lay with her stepson.
"Don't worry, Dafa. I will persuade Xiaoyun well. After all, they are his younger brothers and sisters. When he takes over the family business in the future, they can help him a little."
As he said this, he was about to get up and look for Zhao Yun, but was stopped by Zhao Dafa.
Zhao Dafa obviously understands and cares about his son's thoughts better than Zhou Hui.
If the son doesn’t like Zhou Hui as his stepmother, how can he like the child born to her?
"Hui, abort the child. I will compensate you."
Zhou Hui shook her head desperately, tears flying everywhere. "No, I don't want any compensation! Dafa, I don't want anything. I really love you. In the past year of living with you, I feel very happy and content. I just want to be with you for a long time. I just want to have someone to rely on. Please don't leave me."
Zhao Dafa still had feelings for Zhou Hui, and listening to her tearful confession, he couldn't help but feel sympathy.
…
As it was getting dark, Zhao Dafa went out to look for his son.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Shen Mingzhu leading her son towards me.
"Oh, Sister Shen, I'm causing you trouble again."
When Shen Mingzhu approached, Zhao Dafa spoke hurriedly.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. Brother Zhao, Xiaoyun is not a child anymore. If you have any ideas or plans, you can communicate and discuss with him."
"Well, okay, thank you for your concern."
The father and son watched Shen Mingzhu leave until she disappeared into the night, and then they looked away. Their movements and expressions were exactly the same. (End of this chapter)
