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

Zhou Yanxing tried to drink with the hand that wasn't pricked by the needle, but when he raised his hand, he pulled at the wound, gasping in pain. His already pale face became even paler.

Lu Yan glanced at him. "Don't try to be a hero. I'll feed you."

Zhou Yanxing: "If my third brother finds out, he'll beat me up."

His third brother is a vinegar jar!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan laughed, deliberately teasing him.

"If you're going to beat someone up, wait until you're better."

Zhou Yan looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Sister Yan, can't we just not tell him?"

Lu Yan stared at him. "Do you think I dare to say that?"

Zhou Yanxing was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Sister Yan, have you and my third brother had a good talk?"

Lu Yan: "Eat your food."

Zhou Yanxing: "Okay."

He kept it a secret from his third brother and sister-in-law, as long as sister-in-law became his sister-in-law in the future.

Lu Yan fed him until he finished the wontons, and then he ate two steamed buns with the soup.

Just then, the nurse brought in two more IV drips. Lu Yan glanced at the drips; this one would probably take another half an hour. She asked, "Can you manage here by yourself?"

Zhou Yanxing: "It's okay, Sister Yan, you can go back first. You don't need to stay with me here. I'll find the nurse after the injection is done."

Lu Yan stood up. "I'll take the bowl and spoon back to the restaurant and then come back."

Back then, there were no plastic bags or disposable lunch boxes, so if you brought your own lunch, you had to leave your money there until you returned the bowls and chopsticks and got your money back.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Yan returned after returning the bowl, and the needlework was almost finished.

Lu Yanchong said to Zhou Yanxing, "Lie down and take a nap for a while, I'll be watching you."

Zhou Yanxing: "I'm not sleepy."

Seeing his downcast expression, Lu Yan pursed her lips. "What's done is done, so don't blame yourself. Your third brother won't blame you. The commander was only so ruthless because he was scared afterward. Don't overthink it."

Zhou Yanxing nodded, his voice muffled, "I know."

Lu Yan didn't know how to comfort him.

She can make sarcastic remarks without batting an eye, but she's really not good at comforting people.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yanxing looked up and asked, "Sister Yan, when can I start selling clothes with you?"

Lu Yan knew immediately that Zhou Yanxing wanted to prove himself.

"It should be soon. We should be able to make the sample in the next few days. Once I check it and there are no problems, we can start mass production. It should take about half a month."

Although it's the beginning of spring, the late spring cold snap is still quite severe.

About two weeks later, it will get a bit warmer, which will be the perfect time to wear spring clothes.

Zhou Yanxing: "Sister Yan, you must tell me in advance before you put on your spring clothes."

He was almost fully recovered after half a month.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you first, and I'll give you priority in getting the clothes too. But you should think it over, because there are risks involved."

"I know, I'll be careful, Sister Yan. I've decided, after graduation I won't work, I'll do this."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan frowned. "That won't do."

Zhou Yanxing explained to her, "Sister Yan, I've thought it through. I really don't want to sit in an office or go to the factory. Jobs are already scarce in our country. I don't have much ability, so I won't occupy this position. I'll give it to someone else."

Lu Yan: "......"

No, is it really that noble?

Lu Yan blinked. "Are you out of your mind?"

Zhou Yanxing looked distressed. "Sister Yan, I really don't want to go to work. I don't want to hear people say that Commander Zhou's son is useless at work."

He really embarrassed his father.

Lu Yan: "If you can't do it well, you can learn. Do you think selling clothes is easy? Many people buy clothes from us privately, but the number of items each person sells is different, some even differing by one or two hundred pieces. You need to learn to do anything."

Zhou Yanxing was still reluctant, saying, "I can sell them slowly."

Lu Yan pursed her lips. "Then let me ask you, do you want to keep doing this secretly?"

Zhou Yanxing hesitated.

Lu Yan analyzed for him, "If the policy doesn't change, then what we do will never be out in the open. Over time, people will say you're just loafing around, and if you get caught, it will make the leader lose face even more."

"But if the policy changes in the future and allows individuals to do business, then various procedures will be required. If you happen to work in this unit, you will be very familiar with the specific procedures. When you resign at that time, you will still have some connections that you can use. If you don't work, then you will have nothing."

Zhou Yanxing suddenly realized.

"Sister Yan, do you mean you want me to work at the tax office?"

"Try to go to the Market Management Committee," Lu Yan said. "If business is allowed in the future, you'll definitely need to go there to get the certificates. Of course, the tax office is also an option."

Individual business owners do have to pay taxes, but they certainly won't evade taxes, so it's better to go to the municipal management committee.

"After graduation, you should secure a stable job first; it won't conflict with selling clothes."

Zhou Yanxing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Sister Yan, I'll listen to you."

After finishing the IV drip, it was past 2 PM.

The two ate something simple outside and then went back.

When they got home, Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo were already waiting for them.

Seeing them return, Jin Aiyun strode over, with Zhou Jianguo following behind without saying a word.

The two were clearly worried, but their faces still didn't look very friendly.

Zhou Yanchen finally spoke, asking, "Have you eaten?"

Zhou Yanxing: "Third Brother, we've already eaten."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said it's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a few days."

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement, "Since there's nothing else, go back to your room and rest."

Zhou Yanxing looked at Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo. Jin Aiyun said irritably, "Didn't you hear what your third brother said?"

Zhou Yanxing lowered his head. "Mom and Dad, Third Brother, I'm going back to my room."

Zhou Nuannuan stepped forward to help him.

After the brother and sister went upstairs, Jin Aiyun looked at Lu Yan and said, "Little Lu, thank you so much for your help today."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's alright, no trouble at all."

Jin Aiyun: "It's all that brat's fault. You must be tired by now. Go and rest for a while."

Lu Yan glanced at the couple, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Commander, Aunt, there are some things I'd like to say to you privately."

Jin Aiyun paused for a moment, then smiled, "Let's go inside and talk."

One minute later, Zhou Yanchen, Zhou Jianguo, Jin Aiyun, and Lu Yan arrived at the study.

Jin Aiyun pulled up a stool for Lu Yan to sit down.

"Xiao Lu, just say what you want to say."

Lu Yan nodded. "Auntie, Commander, I'd like to talk to you about Zhou Yanxing."

Upon hearing this, Jin Aiyun's mood immediately soured.

Zhou Jianguo also seemed unwilling to speak.

Lu Yan noticed their expressions and asked, "Do you know why Zhou Yanxing likes Liang Ling?"
