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

Zhou Yanchen pursed his lips, looked at the girl whose face was flushed red to the roots of her neck, slowly withdrew his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Let's go inside."

Lu Yan felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly pulled Lu Yaguang into the courtyard.

Once inside, Lu Yan took a deep breath and looked up to see her eldest son fiddling with the shapeless airplane as if nothing had happened.

She closed her eyes weakly, "Ya Guang."

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Lu Yan was still thinking about how to tell him that he shouldn't judge the size of a man's penis.

But after thinking it over, nothing seemed right. If she said it, he might go around spreading rumors, which would cause another incident.

Okay, let's leave it at that.

Anyway, she wasn't exactly a respectable person in front of Zhou Yanchen.

"Mom will try to find someone to make you an airplane just like your uncle's."

Lu Yaguang's eyes lit up. "Okay, Mom!"

Achoo!

Lu Yan's nose suddenly felt itchy, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

She sniffed; she looked like she had caught a cold.

Zhou Yanchen, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, glanced over when he heard this.

He put down the newspaper in his hand and called Zhou Yanxing over.

Zhou Yanxing: "Third Brother, what's wrong?"

"My throat is a little sore, could you make some ginger soup?"

Startled, Zhou Yanxing quickly touched Zhou Yanchen's forehead. "Brother, is there anything else that's bothering you? Let's go to the hospital!"

Zhou Yanchen rolled his eyes at him. "Go make ginger soup, and add some brown sugar."

Zhou Yanxing asked again, still worried, "Brother, are you really alright? Let me get you a thermometer so you can take your temperature."

Zhou Yanchen didn't speak, he just looked at him.

Zhou Yanxing didn't dare ask any more questions and turned to go to the kitchen to make ginger soup.

After all that fuss, it's past eleven o'clock, time to cook.

Lu Yan came out of the house, rubbed her itchy nose, and saw Zhou Yan sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.

She glanced at him and then looked away, carefully moving around him and slowly making her way to the yard, hugging the wall.

Zhou Yanchen, who had been looking down at the newspaper, slowly raised his head and looked at the girl's back.

Lu Yan went into the kitchen and saw Zhou Yanxing making ginger soup. She asked, "Are you sick?"

Zhou Yanxing: "No, Third Brother said he wasn't feeling well and asked me to make some ginger soup. Sister Yan, you must have caught a cold today, you should drink some too."

Lu Yan nodded; she did need to drink some ginger soup to warm herself up.

Lu Yan glanced into the living room, awkwardly touching her nose. "Um, Yan Yan, could you ask your brother what he wants for lunch?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanxing blinked. "Sister Yan, why don't you go ask her yourself?"

Lu Yan chuckled dryly.

Would she dare to go?

How dare she go!

She came up with a plausible excuse: "It's because I wasn't with your brother all day, which allowed Tang Qingxue and the others to take advantage of the situation. I feel really guilty and I'm too embarrassed to ask him about it."

"It's alright," Zhou Yanxing comforted her. "Sister Yan, although my third brother has a bad temper, he's definitely not an unreasonable person. We owe him a lot for saving him today."

hehe--

She saved him.

But I also took advantage of him...

She really didn't know how to face him right now.

Lu Yan urged him, "Go and ask!"

Zhou Yanxing: "Okay, okay, I'll go ask."

Zhou Yanxing entered the living room. "Brother, what would you like to eat?"

Zhou Yanchen paused in his reading of the newspaper, then looked past Zhou Yanxing toward the kitchen.

Lu Yan, who was standing in the kitchen spying on the enemy, happened to meet Zhou Yanchen's gaze, which startled her so much that she quickly shrank behind the door.

Zhou Yanchen's straight lips curled up slightly as he said to Zhou Yanxing, "Tell her anything is fine."

Zhou Yanxing returned to deliver the message.

Lu Yan: "Then ask him if it's okay to grill meat, and maybe grill a fish too."

The other one is fish soup I'll make tomorrow.

Zhou Yanxing then went to the living room.

"Third Brother, Sister Yan is asking if you're okay with grilling meat."

"OK."

Zhou Yanxing went to the kitchen again. "Sister Yan, my third brother said it's okay."

Zhou Yanxing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Even though the kitchen and living room are so close, he had to be the one to relay the message.

Lu Yan: "Then let's have barbecue for lunch. Can you prepare those two fish?"

This stumped Zhou Yanxing. "I... I don't know how."

Lu Yan had just said she was coming when she saw Zhou Yanchen pushing his wheelchair over. "Let me do it."

Lu Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, that works too."

Knowing that they were having barbecue, Zhou Nuannuan came downstairs to help Lu Yan cut the meat.

Zhou Yanxing set up the barbecue grill in the yard.

Since Zhou Yanchen was in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to sit, Lu Yan asked Zhou Yanchen to bring him a table and put the basin and fish on the table.

In short, you should never stop a man from asking you to do chores.

Even if there are no conditions, create conditions for him to work!

When Qin Xiaofang returned from grocery shopping, she saw her three siblings helping with the chores, so she hurried home.

A moment later, he came over with a smile, holding three sprouted potatoes in his hand.

Upon entering the courtyard, he pretended to have just seen Zhou Yanchen working and said, "Yanchen, why are you picking fish? You're covered in fishy smells that you can't wash off."

After saying that, he glanced at Lu Yan.

She wanted to tell Zhou Yanchen that Lu Yan was like this fish; once you got involved, you were covered in fishy smells, and it would be difficult to get rid of her.

Zhou Yan didn't even look up, focusing on handling the fish in the basin and ignoring her.

Qin Xiaofang was left feeling awkward.

Seeing her embarrassed, Lu Yan lowered her head and chuckled to herself.

Qin Xiaofang smiled again, revealing two rows of old, yellow teeth. "Yanxing, I brought you some potatoes. You can stir-fry them for dinner tonight."

As she spoke, Qin Xiaofang placed the potatoes on the barbecue grill next to Zhou Yanxing.

Zhou Yanxing doesn't like Qin Xiaofang. Don't think he doesn't know that. His adoptive mother, Commander Liu, has said a lot of bad things about Sister Yan in the compound!

"Auntie, none of us in my family like potatoes, please take them back."

Qin Xiaofang exclaimed in distress and earnestly advised, "You kids have never experienced hardship. You don't know how difficult it is to fill your stomachs. You refuse to eat this and that. By the time we're eating tree bark, you'll be eating everything!"

Lu Yan pouted, a typical case of forcing herself to endure hardship.

It's not like they can't afford to eat; they can eat whatever they want.

It's her turn to lecture.

Zhou Yanxing was getting impatient. He pointed at the potatoes in her hand and said, "Auntie, your potatoes have sprouted and the skin has turned green. Eating them will make you sick."

Qin Xiaofang pouted, "I think you all look down on me because I come from the countryside. You were probably still living in the countryside when I was eating sprouted potatoes. You're all acting like capitalists!"

After saying that, he took the potatoes, turned around, and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan remained silent.

She didn't say a word, yet she still got dragged into this mess?

However, she wouldn't get angry at such people; only those who are unhappy with their lives take their anger out on others.

When Qin Xiaofang got home, she gave Chu Xinyue a good scolding.

"Everyone's treating your mother-in-law like dirt, and you still have the nerve to cook! Your husband's been stuck with you because he married a jinx like you, that's why he's never been promoted. And now, as her mother, I'm being trampled on like this!"
