NovelEnglish420 Holding Back
“Papa, bad.”
Zhao Nian grabbed his leg and struggled to climb up.
Luoning, who had been playing with him, thought that they were just playing. She quickly crawled over with her hands and feet, and her small hands grabbed the corner of Zhao Zhan’s robe and babbled.
With the two kids messing around, Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t sit on Zhao Zhan’s body anymore. She got off the ground and leisurely sat at the side, watching the two kids mess around with Zhao Zhan.
“It’s time to find a teacher for them.” Zhao Zhan picked them up in each hand and placed them on his knees. His big hands held them very steadily. “I have met some people recently because of the renovation of the restaurant and bakery. The two children are less than three years old. It’s too early for them to learn how to read and write, but I’ve already chosen a martial arts master for them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“They’re still too young, I don’t expect them to learn any martial arts. I’ll just keep them company every day and play with them.”
“Your way of thinking is really simple and crude. Of the two of them, one has just learned how to walk, and the other can only crawl now. All you think about all day is to play with them.”
Yue Jiaojiao glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and shook her head with a chuckle. “Speaking of which, I don’t like those old teachers who are full of nonsense. Don’t let the two children become old-fashioned in the future. They’ll look like sour talents and silly girls in the future.”
“You’re right, I was wrong.” Zhao Zhan knew his mistake and changed his ways, obediently continuing, “Otherwise, Tianliu and I will each take one out. This way, you can be more relaxed.
I really didn’t have time before to help around. Now that I have the time, it’s better to keep this frisky monkey by my side than to let him stay by your side and torment you.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t free up his hands, Zhao Zhan would have already pinched Yue Jiaojiao’s hand.
“Speaking of which, ever since you got pregnant, there has never been a quiet time around you. Now that you’ve moved with me to Shangjing, with so many people living in this courtyard, you’ve just been silently tolerating it for me.
“I know you like peace and quiet the most. During this time, you’ve lost a lot of weight. When we move, you will not have to be so restrained like now. Every day, you can stay and do whatever you want.”
Yue Jiaojiao did not expect Zhao Zhan to notice her changes that accurately.
It was just that on such an ordinary afternoon, listening to him chatting casually, her heart was filled with warmth. “Ordinary people have their own worldly affairs. What’s more, you’ve blocked most of the things I want to do for me. I just lack a little peace, but it’s not bad to have a lively life once in a while. It’s quite interesting.”
“You’re only saying that because you are considerate, but I can’t take it as you really are.”
Perhaps it was because he had honed his eloquence in doing business, but Zhao Zhan was now better at expressing himself than before. He was no longer like a taciturn person who only knew how to do things and did not speak.
“Alright, alright.” Yue Jiaojiao pushed a cup of tea in front of him. “Madam Qin told me today that a lady came to look for you and even caused a scene at the door. Was it Liu Qinqin?”
“It was.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhao Zhan still had an obvious look of disgust on his face when he mentioned this person.
“Apparently she’s Shang’s daughter.”
“Shang?” Yue Jiaojiao suddenly had an idea. Her eyes brightened up as she approached Zhao Zhan. “Did she say it herself or did you find out?”
“She said it herself.”
Zhao Zhan told her about what had happened at the door today. “When we move to the new house, I’ll ask Chang Ning to send two people to follow you at all times. I’m worried that when you go out, trouble will find you. Shang’s actions are despicable, and that girl is even more shrewish and knows how to use a whip. I’ll have people follow you. Even if you run into them, you won’t have to suffer.”
“Alright.” Yue Jiaojiao was smart enough not to ask too much. “Zhao Zhan, you have to be careful too.”
Whether it was Shang or Lin Yunxu who had a grudge against Fang Tianliu, they were both cruel and merciless people.
Zhao Zhan’s extra cautious steps must be because he and Fang Tianliu were going to do something.
…
Shangjing has been in an uproar recently. It was because the ingredients for the expensive dishes in the Hundred Flavours Restaurant were all purchased from small workshops.
It was said that the small workshop was hidden very well. If it were not for the fact that the surrounding residents could not stand the noise inside these days to file a complaint, saying that someone was doing evil things inside day and night, causing the government to investigate, the workshop would not have caught the attention of so many people in Shangjing.
