Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 369 Meeting
"Dingling bell~"

Twenty minutes later, as expected, Chen Yan's biological mother, He Juan, called him: "You brat, no matter what method you use, you have to get Xin Xin back for me!"

"Also, your dad is already packing his things; we'll arrive in Hangzhou tonight..."

After listening to Empress Dowager He ramble on for a while, Chen Yan took a deep breath and walked out the door after hanging up the phone.

……

……

Longhu Yanlan Mountain.

"Ding dong~"

Chen Yan rang the doorbell.

Someone inside quickly asked, "Who is it?"

Chen Yan recognized Bai Wei's voice and coughed before replying, "Teacher Bai, this is Chen Yan."

Upon hearing that the 'scumbag' had arrived, Bai Wei immediately put on a cold expression.

Although she desperately wanted Chen Yan and Jiang Zhixin to get back together, she certainly wouldn't give this scumbag a friendly look on the surface.

Bai Wei opened the door for Chen Yan with a cold face, knowingly asking, "Oh! Isn't this President Chen? What brings you here?"

Chen Yan ignored Bai Wei's sarcastic remarks and walked straight into the house: "Where is Zhixin?"

Bai Wei pouted and gestured towards the bedroom, saying, "She's resting in her room."

Without saying a word, Chen Yan changed into slippers and went straight to the bedroom.

When he reached the door, he paused, and could vaguely hear Jiang Zhixin's voice coming from inside.

"The little bear planted an apple tree in the yard. It watered the apple tree and fertilized it..."

Is this prenatal education?
Chen Yan felt a strange stirring in his heart.

After listening quietly at the door for a while, he mustered his courage and gently turned the doorknob.

Jiang Zhixin was wearing a light yellow cotton nightgown and sitting on the bed reading a prenatal education book to the baby in her belly.

Chen Yan looked at the section of Jiang Zhixin's fair neck that was exposed when she lowered her head slightly, and at her hand that was unconsciously stroking her lower abdomen. A complex emotion that was hard to describe welled up in his heart.

Upon hearing the door open, Jiang Zhixin turned around.

The moment she saw Chen Yan, the gentle smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by a look of surprise and panic.

She closed the fairy tale book in her hand and placed it on her lap: "You, how did you get here?"

Chen Yan walked silently to the bedside, staring intently at Jiang Zhixin with a very complicated expression.

Jiang Zhixin was not afraid at all. After a brief moment of panic, she raised her head and stared coldly at the man in front of her.

She wore no makeup, yet her captivating eyes still exuded charm. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her fair chin remained slightly raised, though it seemed a bit rounder than before.

Why did you hide it from me?

After a while, Chen Yan softened his tone and pointed to the prenatal education book in Jiang Zhixin's hand.

Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Jiang Zhixin's expression froze. "You...you knew everything?"

"Ah."

Chen Yan leaned down, wanting to put his ear to Jiang Zhixin's lower abdomen.

He didn't know why he had to do that action, but that's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas. Anyway, it was his first time being a father, so he had no experience and could only try to imitate it haphazardly.

"What do you want? Don't come any closer, don't come near me..."

Jiang Zhixin strongly resisted, and she quickly used her arm to block in front of her.

Why does this scoundrel have to lay a hand on me the moment he arrives?

"Stop blocking!"

Chen Yan was much stronger than Jiang Zhixin, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to use his strength. Finally, Chen Yan lost his patience and couldn't help but say loudly, "I am the child's father. Can't I hear the baby's heartbeat?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixin paused in her actions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yan successfully buried his head in Jiang Zhixin's arms.

Jiang Zhixin was less than three months pregnant, and her belly was still flat without any excess fat.

Chen Yan listened carefully for a while, but didn't hear anything.

"Why can't I hear a heartbeat?" Chen Yan, thick-skinned as ever, simply arched his head upwards.

Jiang Zhixin definitely wasn't wearing a bra at home.

And so, caught off guard, Chen Yan's head bumped into his chest.

Hmm, she seems fuller than before.

"Go away!"

Jiang Zhixin came to her senses, forcefully pushed Chen Yan's head away, and moved closer to the edge of the bed to stay away from Chen Yan.

Seeing that Chen Yan was lingering there and showed no sign of leaving, Jiang Zhixin began to use yin-yang techniques:

"You've seen it all and heard it all. Mr. Chen is very busy, so you should go back now."

Chen Yan plopped down on the bed and said in a shameless manner, "I'm not leaving. I want to stay with the baby."

As she spoke, she tried to snatch the prenatal education book from Jiang Zhixin's hand, saying, "I'll give the baby prenatal education."

"Need not."

Jiang Zhixin hid the prenatal education book behind her back.

Chen Yan's hand froze in mid-air, and the two remained locked in a stalemate, facing each other.

After a long pause, Jiang Zhixin suddenly asked, "How did you know I was pregnant?"

"Teacher Bai told me."

Chen Yan immediately implicated Bai Wei.

"Hmph! I knew it."

Jiang Zhixin pouted and said angrily.

"squeak~"

Chen Yan stood up again and moved closer to Jiang Zhixin.

Just as Jiang Zhixin was about to dodge, Chen Yan quickly spoke up, diverting her attention with his words: "My parents know about this too. They are preparing to come to Hangzhou to take care of you, and they should be on their way now."

"what?"

Jiang Zhixin was taken aback for a moment, "But I don't need so many people to take care of me. I can take care of myself completely now."

"This is their duty and responsibility as the baby's grandparents. If you don't let them take care of the baby, I reckon they won't be able to sleep at night."

While playing the emotional card, Chen Yan looked at Jiang Zhixin with deep affection, his tone becoming incredibly gentle: "Baby, come home with me, let's not fight anymore, okay?"

His words were very clever; he described their "breakup" as "having a tiff".

Major issues to minor ones out.

It was as if the unpleasantness of the past few months was just a simple argument between the two of them.

After he finished speaking, the bedroom became very quiet.

Chen Yan remained calm in the face of Jiang Zhixin's direct gaze.

How can you become a movie star if you don't have a strong mental fortitude?
"then you……"

After a long pause, Jiang Zhixin couldn't help but ask, "...Do you still love me?"

"like!"

Without hesitation, Chen Yan said, "I swear, in this life and in my past life, the person I loved the most was you!"

Jiang Zhixin glanced at the man, pouted, and retorted, "This life is one thing, but I wasn't even born in my past life, so how could you have fallen in love with me?"

Chen Yan chuckled, offered no explanation, and shamelessly tried to kiss Jiang Zhixin.

Jiang Zhixin pushed him away with a look of disgust: "I never said I forgave you! My baby and I need to rest now, so please leave and don't disturb our rest."

After saying that, she actually lay down, turned her back to Chen Yan, and covered herself with the blanket.

Jiang Zhixin is currently pregnant, so getting enough sleep and maintaining a good mood are very important for her.

Chen Yan didn't want to disturb her rest, so he sighed helplessly, turned off the light, and silently walked out.

Hearing the door close, Jiang Zhixin opened her eyes, gently stroking her lower abdomen, and murmured:

"How about we make an exception for you and forgive your father?"
