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

Zhou Yanchen regretted asking the question immediately, as it made him seem like he cared a lot.

Although he does care a lot.

He found himself increasingly unable to control his behavior.

Lu Yan tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Zhou wants to keep it for me?"

Zhou Yanchen turned his face away and denied it, "No."

Lu Yan responded with an "oh," but the smile in her eyes deepened.

Zhou Yanxing came down a short while later. "Sister Yan, the phone line is fixed."

Lu Yan hummed in agreement, but didn't expose them, and went upstairs to make a phone call.

After finishing the call, Lu Yan went back inside, grabbed a bag, and went out with Zhou Yanxing.

Zhou Yan sat in the courtyard, watching the little guy sticking his bottom out and fiddling with something. "Why aren't you going?"

Lu Yaguang stopped what he was doing, turned around, looked to his left, then to his right, and after confirming that only he and the handsome uncle were in the yard, he looked bewildered. "Is the handsome uncle asking me something?"

Zhou Yanchen: "Is there a third person here?"

Lu Yaguang walked over, "Handsome Uncle, Mom said she has to buy a lot of things today, so it's inconvenient to take you with her. Mom also said that Handsome Uncle will be lonely at home alone. If Yaguang keeps Handsome Uncle company, Handsome Uncle won't be lonely."

Lu Yaguang patted his chest and nodded his head as he spoke, which was quite adorable.

A smile appeared on Zhou Yan's cold and hard eyebrows.

Seeing the handsome uncle smile, Lu Yaguang smiled too, took two steps forward, and climbed onto Zhou Yanchen's lap using both hands and feet.

Zhou Yanchen's smile froze instantly.

Unlike other children who were dirty and smelly, Lu Yaguang was very clean. Every three or four days, he would go to take a bath with Zhou Yanxing. Perhaps because he had been with Lu Yan for a long time, he would pick up a little of Lu Yan's scent.

Zhou Yanchen's hands, which were resting on his sides, stiffened for a few seconds before he slowly raised them to hug Lu Yaguang's waist, pulling him onto his lap to make him more comfortable.

Zhou Yan stared at Lu Yaguang's small face. For some reason, he always felt a sense of familiarity and warmth towards Lu Yaguang.

Lu Yaguang wrapped his arms around Zhou Yanchen's neck, a naive smile on his face, "Handsome uncle, take me out to play."

"Where do you want to go?"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Lu Yaguang quickly said, "Let's go to Qin Feng's house!"

Zhou Yanchen: "I can't travel far."

"Handsome uncle, I'll push you!" Lu Yaguang quickly assured him, "Qin Feng's house isn't far; my mom said it's only an hour's walk."

Do you know how long an hour is?

Lu Yaguang blinked. "It's just one hour."

Zhou Yan chuckled softly.

I remembered the last time the little guy was playing with his airplane, he had just touched the timer when it was over, so I knew he didn't understand the concept of time.

Are you sure you want me to go out with you?

Doesn't he feel ashamed to be associated with him?

Lu Yaguang nodded. "Mom said I can't go out with strangers, but Uncle Shuai isn't a stranger. Uncle Shuai can protect me."

Zhou Yanchen was startled again.

Is he still able to protect others?

Lu Yaguang blinked and assured him again, "Handsome uncle, I will be very obedient. I'm very strong, I can push you. Let's go."

As he spoke, Lu Yaguang shook the hand that was wrapped around Zhou Yanchen's neck, "Handsome uncle, come with me."

Zhou Yanchen: "..."

Spending a lot of time with Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan, their coquettish gestures became exactly the same.

"Then go ahead."

Lu Yaguang waved his arm, which was around Zhou Yanchen's neck, above his head, "Let's go play!"

Seeing his joyful expression, Zhou Yanchen couldn't help but smile as well.

Smiles really are contagious.

-

Zhou Yanxing and Lu Yan first bought meat and vegetables, and when it was almost time, the two set off for the department store.

Zhou Yanxing parked the car in front of the department store. As soon as Lu Yan got out of the car, she saw the young man standing diagonally opposite.

Zhou Yanxing wanted to go with her, but Lu Yan stopped him.

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

As she spoke, Lu Yan glanced at the people around the young man, and after finding no one suspicious, she slowly walked over with the bag of money in her hand.

Lu Yan approached the young man and said, "Comrade."

The young man was worried about being discovered, so he didn't look around. When he heard a familiar voice, he quickly looked up and was stunned when he saw Lu Yan.

I couldn't see clearly last night, I only knew that Lu Yan wasn't ugly, but I didn't expect her to be so stunning.

The young man was immediately struck by the visual impact, and he stammered, "Y-hello."

Lu Yan handed him the bag. "Take a look."

The young man wanted to see if anyone around them was watching them, but Lu Yan's lips moved slightly, and she said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Look at the money, not at anyone else."

The young man glanced at her; if he hadn't heard her voice, he wouldn't have been able to tell that Lu Yan's mouth was moving.

He obediently avoided looking at the people around him, calmed himself down, and opened his bag to take a look.

It's all about unity.

"This isn't the place to count money. Take the money back and count it first. I'll come back in two days. If anything is missing, just let me know."

The young man closed his bag, smiled at Lu Yan, and said, "Sister, I believe you."

As he spoke, the young man handed the jewelry box to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan opened the box, checked it, and confirmed that it was the one she had seen last night. She closed the box and said, "Goodbye, little brother."

"etc!"

The young man called out to her.

Lu Yan turned around. "What's wrong?"

The young man scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed. "Sis, I still don't know your name?"

Lu Yan: "Young man, it's better if we don't know each other's names."

She was afraid that one day he would realize he had been taken advantage of and come back to her for it.

The young man pursed his lips, bowed to her, and said, "Sister, thank you."

Thank you for being willing to pay a high price for his things.

If it weren't for her, he really would have sold himself to that middle-aged man for five hundred yuan to pay for his father's medical expenses.

But Lu Yan not only didn't haggle with that man, she also gave him an extra thousand yuan.

Although he knew his things were worth far more than three thousand yuan, he was still very grateful to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan looked at the naive young man and smiled, "The best way for you to thank me is to never know me again."

After saying that, Lu Yan hugged the jewelry box and strode away.

Lu Yan returned to the car, and Zhou Yanxing's heart finally settled down.

"Sister Yan, why did he call you back again just now?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yan glanced around. "Has He Yuejin not arrived yet?"

Zhou Yanxing shook his head. "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yan saw He Yuejin jogging towards her.

He Yuejin walked up to her, looked at the jewelry box in her hand, and asked, "What did you buy this time?"

Lu Yan patted the jewelry box. "This is a betrothal gift I bought for my future daughter-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanxing and He Yuejin couldn't help but laugh.

He Yuejin: "Your future daughter-in-law might not even have said a word yet, but you've already bought the bride price."
