Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

Having just woken up, He Shizhou's voice was still a bit hoarse, and He Linyan on the other end of the phone recognized it as soon as he spoke.

"Shizhou, are you still sleeping? Did I disturb you?" He Linyan's voice was as gentle as ever.

He Shizhou coughed lightly and cleared his throat.

"It's nothing. I was about to get up and cook for Youyou. I went to bed late last night and didn't get up this morning. What's wrong?"

He Linyan remained silent for a while, as if he didn't know what to say, before finally speaking again.

"He Shizhou, I know my uncle was wrong about Youyou's kidnapping last time, but he has already been punished. I haven't helped him these days, but... can we let it go now? Shengyuan is almost at its breaking point. If this continues, it will have to declare bankruptcy."

He Shizhou didn't react at first, and it took him a while to realize that He Linyan had come as a mediator.

In fact, He Shizhou really didn't know how Yuansheng was doing now. He had to take care of the little guy at home every day and only went to the company occasionally. He had long forgotten about Yuansheng.

He had previously instructed Wen Feng to keep a close eye on Yuan Sheng, and it seems Wen Feng hasn't let up on him these past few days.

"Shizhou." He Shizhou hadn't spoken, and He Linyan thought he was unwilling. She bit her lip and tried to persuade him again, "I know it's because my uncle hurt Youyou, but it's almost over now. Many people still rely on their original means of survival."

"Okay, I'll make Wen Feng stop, and we'll not interfere with each other anymore." He Shizhou came to his senses and agreed without hesitation.

Last time, He Linyan and Huo Chengfeng saved Youyou. Now that He Linyan has asked, He Shizhou will definitely give him face.

Besides, things are pretty much over now. It's not easy for Yuansheng to have survived this long without going bankrupt. Even if He Shizhou lets them go, it will be difficult for Yuansheng to return to what it used to be.

He Linyan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as He Shizhou let his guard down, everything would be fine. Finally, He Linyan smiled and said seriously.

"Shizhou, thank you."

"Brother, we're brothers, you don't need to say things like that. Besides, it wasn't you who made the mistake. It's all thanks to you that we found Youyou so quickly." He Shizhou really didn't blame He Linyan, so what he said was sincere.

He Linyan felt a little relieved. Although he hadn't done it, it was indeed caused by him, and he had been feeling guilty about it ever since.

"Okay, we're brothers," He Linyan repeated.

Neither of them spoke for a moment, but they smiled silently.

After exchanging some pleasantries, He Shizhou had to go make breakfast for the little one, so he hung up the phone without saying much more.

After hanging up the phone, He Linyan's eyes were still slightly red. She turned to look at the man sitting behind the desk in the office, but didn't say anything.

Huo Chengfeng didn't look up but felt He Linyan's gaze. He looked at the documents in his hand and said.

"I gave the Jiangcheng North Bank project to He Shizhou last time, and I've been standing by and watching Yuanshi's affairs these past few days. Aren't you angry with me?"

He Linyan shook his head and took two steps toward the table.

"It's not your fault. Chenyan is more suitable than Yuansheng. Besides, what happened last time was Uncle's fault. Shizhou was angry, so it's understandable that he did those things. And what about me..."

He Linyan bit his lip and remained silent. In fact, he had been feeling guilty these past few days and didn't know how to face He Shizhou. However, he didn't expect that He Shizhou would still see through his attempts to hide it.

He Linyan took two steps forward to the table. For some reason, he suddenly wanted Huo Chengfeng to hug him. However, when he got to the table and saw that Huo Chengfeng hadn't even looked up, he withdrew his slightly raised hand and showed a mocking smile on his face.

Although the two had been in a relationship for many years, Huo Chengfeng had always been indifferent to him. For several years, the two would only see each other twice a year. Huo Chengfeng would almost never take the initiative to contact him, and every time they met, his face would be expressionless.

He Linyan knew that from the first time they met, he liked to stay by Huo Chengfeng's side, but Huo Chengfeng never paid much attention to him. Perhaps the reason he was like this now was just because he never bothered Huo Chengfeng and wanted to be comfortable.

He was somewhat envious of He Shizhou and Luo You, but he also knew that Huo Chengfeng would never be like He Shizhou.

He Linyan eventually retreated and turned to walk towards the sofa.

"Although you haven't helped Yuansheng these days, you've given Lu Yuan quite a bit of money. Your own savings over the years should be almost gone by now." Huo Chengfeng didn't notice He Linyan's change and was still looking at the documents.

He Linyan was somewhat surprised and paused for a moment before speaking.

"You know that."

This time, Huo Chengfeng did not answer him, and He Linyan did not ask again.

He knew Huo Chengfeng too well. What Huo Chengfeng didn't say was what he didn't want to say. He knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he wouldn't make a fool of himself, so he didn't ask anything.

Huo Chengfeng was cold and didn't talk much. He could only talk to He Linyan. When He Linyan wasn't around, he barely spoke a few words a day except for necessary communication, so he was even less likely to speak on his own initiative.

*

Because I woke up late and had a phone call with He Linyan, He Shizhou hadn't finished making breakfast yet when the little guy woke up from his nap.

During this period, He Shizhou has been staying at home with Luo You. Luo You has gotten used to it. He no longer rushes to look for He Shizhou as soon as he opens his eyes every day, because he knows that even if He Shizhou is not by his side, he must be at home and has not left.

So after he woke up, he sat on the bed, rubbed his eyes, touched his stomach, slipped on his shoes, opened the door, and went out.

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of food in the room.

Luo You followed the aroma to the kitchen and saw a person standing there, wearing the pink apron he had chosen, frying eggs with elegant manners.

Luo You ran a few steps and pounced on He Shizhou, struggling to hug him from behind, pressing his large belly against He Shizhou's lower back.

The frying noise in the kitchen was quite loud, so He Shizhou didn't hear the bedroom door open. When someone suddenly pressed against him from behind, he was stunned for a moment, but when he felt the round belly, he immediately realized what was happening and turned around to support the person.

He Shizhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person hadn't gotten very close yet, and tapped the little guy's forehead with his finger with a hint of helplessness.

"How many times have I told you not to pounce on me and hug me? You're heavily pregnant now, are you trying to push me out of my body?"

Luo You pouted, looking at He Shizhou with some dissatisfaction. She didn't speak, but her eyes held a hint of accusation.

After a while, he muttered something under his breath.

"From now on, Youyou won't like little cubs anymore, so she can't hold He Shizhou. Only He Shizhou can hold Youyou."

Ever since his belly got bigger and bigger, He Shizhou no longer allowed him to hug. He Shizhou could only hug him from behind so that the two of them could get close. Sometimes Luo You would hug his big belly and complain softly.

He still prefers He Shizhou a little more.

He Shizhou sighed helplessly and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead.

"Okay, stop saying such hurtful things. The little one in your belly will be sad if he hears it."

He Shizhou gently comforted him for a while, tore off a piece from the already cut egg pancake and put it in his mouth, then handed the plate to him and asked him to take it out.

"Okay, go watch some TV by yourself. After breakfast, I'll hold you on the sofa and we'll watch cartoons, okay?"

Although Luo You sometimes gets angry for no reason, he is also very easy to coax. He was satisfied when he heard that He Shizhou would hold him and watch cartoons in a while. He quickly swallowed the egg pancake in his mouth, kissed He Shizhou's face twice with his greasy mouth, and then walked out.

Because of his large belly, he walked with a slightly awkward gait, leaning back slightly, holding an egg pancake on a plate in one hand and supporting his waist with the other as he walked slowly.

He Shizhou felt a pang of heartache seeing him like this. If he could, he wouldn't want Luo You to have any more children after this one. However, he was afraid that Luo You would disagree, since the baby in his belly didn't have a tail.

The little guy desperately wants a baby with a mermaid tail, but He Shizhou really can't have a child for him, so if he wants a baby with a tail, he'll have to give birth to one himself.

Just then, Luo You suddenly returned, leaned against the kitchen door frame, stuck out her tongue, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"He Shizhou, Youyou wants to eat wontons."

He Shizhou snapped out of his daze and gestured with his chin towards the porridge next to him that was almost done cooking.

"I made you chicken congee today, have some congee."

Luo You shook his head without thinking. Although he wasn't too picky about food after becoming pregnant, he would feel uncomfortable for a while if he craved something.

So he continued, "I want to eat small wontons, the kind with lots of meat inside."

He Shizhou reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, there are some pre-packaged ones in the fridge. Go find them and bring them over, I'll cook them for you."

Luo You was happy, and he went to the refrigerator to look for wontons, seaweed, and dried shrimp, which were always kept at home because he liked to eat them, and He Shizhou would prepare them for him.

After dinner, Su Yin called from the old house and asked the two of them to come back for dinner.

Since Luo You was accepted by his family, his relationship with them has improved a lot. Even now, He Qi no longer talks about him all the time, so He Shizhou has not refused.

After eating, the two snuggled on the sofa and watched TV for a while. After having some more food at noon, He Shizhou carried Luo You to bed and coaxed her to sleep. They drove to the old house after she woke up in the afternoon.

Luo You quite enjoys lively gatherings, but because he is heavily pregnant, he cannot wander around outside.

While sitting in the car, he kept looking outside with a hint of envy. He hadn't been out for a walk and had milk tea in a long time, and he couldn't even eat small cakes.

He Shizhou glanced at him sideways, his eyes filled with heartache and helplessness.
