Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

As the poplars on both sides of the road gradually receded into the distance, Lu Yan opened the car window. The cold wind blew in, carrying away those unpleasant memories.

Zhou Yanchen looked at her hair being blown by the wind. Even though he couldn't see the expression on her face, he could still sense that she was in a bad mood.

While Zhou Nuannuan was still criticizing the heartless couple, she caught a glimpse of Lu Yan looking somewhat downcast in the rearview mirror.

Zhou Nuannuan thought she was sad because she had rejected the little girl, so she comforted her, "Sister Yanyan, it's good for the little girl to stay with Uncle Lin."

Lu Yan paused for a moment, then slowly turned her head to look at Zhou Nuannuan. "Don't you think I'm cold?"

Zhou Nuannuan shook her head. "No, Sister Yanyan, it's already very difficult for you to raise Yaguang all by yourself. Besides, that little girl has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to raise her."

Lu Yan paused for a few seconds, a smile flashing in her eyes, and slowly spoke.

"Thanks."

Zhou Nuannuan blinked, puzzled. "Sister Yanyan, I'm just telling the truth. Why are you thanking me?"

Lu Yan smiled but didn't say anything.

It's probably because the people she'd met before were all abnormal, so she felt a little out of place suddenly encountering normal people.

Seeing how easily she was moved, Zhou Yanchen felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart.

Back home, Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan carried the groceries they bought into the kitchen, put the fish in the large tank, and added water.

Zhou Nuannuan, holding the rabbit, was at a loss. "Third Brother, what should we do with the rabbit?"

It will run away if you put it on the ground.

But they didn't have cages.

Zhou Yanchen: "Tie it up with a rope first, then kill it after lunch."

Lu Yan brought a rope, and the two of them tied the rabbit to the horizontal bar in the yard.

After lunch, Zhou Yanxing approached Lu Yan and said, "Sister Yan, let's have hot pot tonight."

Lu Yan nodded, "Okay, go and prepare the shrimp."

Zhou Yanxing: "Okay."

Ten pounds of shrimp filled a large basin. After processing more than a dozen shrimp, Zhou Yanxing stood up, looked at his third brother who was sitting in a wheelchair reading a newspaper, ran over and pushed him over, "Third brother, you can't just sit around doing nothing."

Zhou Yanxing moved a stool over and placed the large basin on it.

Zhou Yanchen looked at the shrimp in the basin and leaned back in resistance.

Lu Yan walked over casually. "Mr. Zhou, you can peel shrimp too?"

Zhou Yanchen's eyelids twitched slightly. After mentally preparing himself, he reached into the basin, grabbed a shrimp, and deftly broke off its head and removed the vein in one smooth motion.

Lu Yan clicked her tongue and clapped her hands. "Mr. Zhou, you handled this so cleanly, much cleaner than I did."

Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, Zhou Yanchen couldn't help but smile and cleaned the shrimp veins even faster.

Zhou Yanxing stared in disbelief.

It really is true that everything has its counter.

Zhou Nuannuan finished preparing the shiitake mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms and came out of the kitchen. "Fourth Brother, why don't you kill the rabbit?"

Zhou Yanxing: "I don't know how."

Zhou Nuannuan: "Then what should we do?"

Third Brother is in a wheelchair, which is inconvenient for him, and he hates blood the most, so killing rabbits inevitably gets blood on him.

Lu Yan came out of the kitchen carrying a knife. "I'll do it. Nuan Nuan, go to the kitchen and get a basin."

Zhou Nuannuan didn't understand, but she obeyed and quickly grabbed a basin and followed.

Lu Yan grabbed the rabbit by the scruff of its neck, located the carotid artery, and before the rabbit could react, she slashed the carotid artery with a single stroke.

Zhou Nuannuan kept her eyes closed, not daring to look, but then couldn't help but peek through a crack.

The rabbit thrashed about a few times, but Lu Yan easily brought it under control. Blood quickly flowed into the basin, and soon the rabbit was exhausted.

Zhou Nuannuan looked at Lu Yan with admiration, "Sister Yan, you're amazing!"

He's better than many gay men!

What she wouldn't even dare to look at, Sister Yanyan didn't even blink.

Zhou Yanchen's gaze was fixed on Lu Yan, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Yanxing saw what Zhou Yanchen was thinking and said softly, "Sister Yan must have suffered a lot of grievances."

Zhou Yanchen looked away and continued processing the shrimp.

Lu Yan killed the other rabbit as well, and said to Zhou Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, go boil a pot of water."

Zhou Nuannuan: "Okay!"

Lu Yan glanced at the rabbit blood, and after confirming that it was edible, she kept it. She threw the killed rabbit aside, went back into the house, found a pair of gloves, and now had a dagger in her hand. She sat on a stool, intending to skin the rabbit.

Zhou Yanchen and Zhou Yanxing have finished preparing the shrimp.

Zhou Yanchen washed his hands, wheeled himself over to her side, and said gently, "Let me do it."

Lu Yan shook her head. "It's too dirty. I'll do it."

Shrimp meat is also dirty, but it has very little blood. Rabbit is different; you have to skin it and remove its internal organs, which is too tedious.

Zhou Yanchen has severe mysophobia, mainly because his back is not suitable for bending over for long periods of time.

Zhou Yanchen watched as she deftly made a cut in the rabbit's fur with a dagger, and with a pull of both hands, a large, intact piece of rabbit skin was peeled off.

Before long, Lu Yan received two rabbit skins.

She turned and handed it to Zhou Yanchen, "Mr. Zhou, could you please hang it up for me?"

Zhou Yanchen: "Not throwing it away?"

Lu Yan glared at him. "How can you throw away something so good? Use it as lining for your clothes; it'll keep you warm inside."

"Oh, right, I'll make you a pair of rabbit fur boots when I have some free time. They're comfortable and warm."

Seeing her eyes suddenly light up, Zhou Yanchen smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing him smile, Lu Yan leaned closer, blinking her eyes as she looked at him. "Mr. Zhou, you look so handsome when you smile."

Zhou Yanchen's upturned lips slowly relaxed.

Lu Yan frowned, looking at him with displeasure. "Why aren't you smiling anymore?"

Zhou Yanchen glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Lu Yan pouted, "Stingy."

She smiled briefly and then stopped; she wanted to look at it more.

Lu Yan sat up straight, about to bend down to deal with the rabbit's internal organs, when she suddenly heard a helpless sigh.

Lu Yan turned around and saw Zhou Yanchen's lips curving into a smile. The indulgence in his eyes caught Lu Yan's eye, and she was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Yanchen raised his hand and poked her head, then nodded to the rabbit with his chin.

Lu Yan chuckled twice, poured in the boiled water, and began to clean the rabbit's internal organs.

With a handsome guy by her side, she has the energy to do all the work.

After cleaning the rabbit, Zhou Yanchen took it from her and delivered it to the kitchen.

Lu Yan stood up, supporting her back, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw an elderly couple and a little boy standing outside the gate.

That little boy was the one who was almost kidnapped this morning.

The little boy saw Zhou Nuannuan and shouted, "Sister!"

Zhou Nuannuan looked over upon hearing the sound, a smile appearing on her face, and strode towards them.

"Qin Feng?"

Qin Feng jogged over and hugged Zhou Nuannuan's leg. "Sister, we meet again."

Zhou Nuannuan held his hand and looked at the two elderly people outside the gate.

Qin Feng introduced, "Sister, these are my grandparents."
