Chapter 453 - Small Short Story
Her heart was extremely painful. She took light steps over and used two fingers to pluck that strand of white hair out.
The moment she did so, the man woke up.
Zhou Dayuan saw that she had sat up. He was immediately displeased while he said, “Wifey, how come you are sitting up right now? Lay back down, quickly. When did you wake up? Why didn’t you call me?”
He helped her to lay back down.
Jian Han hid that strand of white hair secretly before she used both of her small hands to hug his neck. She lifted her body up and kissed his handsome side profile. “Zhou Dayuan, I love you.”
She told him like that.
Zhou Dayuan’s eyes lit up. There was a tender and loving smile on the corners of his lips as he said, “I know…Wifey. I love you too.”
As both of them were being sweet with one another, there was ear deafening cry that rang out in the air at that moment. “Wa wa…” The little fella was awake.
“Everyone complimented Xiao Zhou for being brave, but Xiao Zhi said at that moment, My wife said, I cannot stand in a spot that has many people around.”
Zhou Pingan’s mother heard this joke and her eyebrows were all curved up as she laughed. She asked, “Are you scared of your wife then?”
Zhou Pingan’s father was done changing the lightbulb. As he came back down, he hugged Zhou Pingan’s mother in an instant as he kissed her face. “I am afraid, I am a classic example of a man henpecked by his wife.”
Zhou Pingan’s mother was immediately displeased as she said, “I will order you right now; you are not allowed to kiss me.”
Zhou Pingan’s father quickly turned her around as he said, “Wifey, it is only this that I cannot listen to your commands.”
The couple ended up in a bundle.
Zhou Pingan’s father was also happy in his life, except for the time when Zhou Pingan’s mother fell ill.
Actually, she also was not seriously ill. It was a normal cold and fever, but Zhou Pingan’s father would push away all of his work as he stayed by the side of the bed all the time. Zhou Pingan’s mother did not want to eat her meals. He would also not eat. When Zhou Pingan’s mother wanted to eat, he would make a variety of dishes. After Zhou Pingan’s mother recovered, he would also be alive once again.
There was also something else that he had to mention. That had to be the matter regarding seniority.
Zhou Pingan’s father drank tea with his father frequently. Whenever both of them had a difference in opinion, Zhou Pingan’s father would always laugh and say, “Shaoming, you keep calling me Dayuan time and time again. This is really something unmannerly to do.”
His Daddy would also laugh as he said, “I address you as Dayuan. It is you. Youngest Uncle is also you. It is merely how I address you formally. When did you become so obsessed with formality?”
“Oh, is that right? Then my older sister’s name is Yue Wanqing. You call her Mother-in-law, and Yue Wanqing is also her… My older sister, not only did she address you by your full name, you are the only one who is not being formal!”
Every time they spoke about this, his Daddy would push a tea cup over as he said, “Youngest Uncle, I will invite you to enjoy some tea.”
Zhou Dayuan’s father would say, “Sure, Shaoming is so obedient.”
…
After talking about the Zhou family, he had to talk about the Lu family, his own family.
There was an additional little younger brother and little younger sister, and their entire family became noisy and boisterous in an instant.
Mama was in her confinement period. Daddy did not bother about both Grandmas’ objections, and he persisted on taking care of the kids all by himself.
The day Mama was done with her confinement period, he did not know what Daddy and Mama were doing inside the room. They did not leave the room for two whole hours, and things were great then. The moment both grandmas came over to have a look, his younger brother had soiled his diaper, and his younger sister was rolling on the carpet as her cries reverberated throughout the entire villa.
And it was that exact night, his paternal grandmother took away his younger sister, his maternal grandma took away his younger brother, and he continued to be together with Daddy.
His younger brother was the second child in the family. He did not know who he inherited his character from. When he was 5 years old, he used one leg to step on the coffee table in the living room and bit a blade of grass in his lips as he told him, “Oldest Brother, what you are doing when you are so young right now? What are you learning? Why are you earning money? Don’t you think it’s so boring? We need to be strong and mighty with our bodies and practice martial arts and defeat anyone on this earth, and when we become undefeatable, you come with me to study martial arts then!”
It was probably because Lu Qinwen used a foolish gaze to look at him, his second younger brother waved his small hands as he said, “Sure, then I will hand dad and mum over to you. I will also hand the Lu Corporation over to you. I am all free and easy and have the freedom to go anywhere I please…”
After that, Second Younger Brother fulfilled his dream to be the pride of the Eastern region. He went all by himself to the Shaolin Temple and practiced his martial arts skills there.
A beautiful dream was always perfect, but reality was always cruel. One month after he left, he was dragged back home by his Daddy and Mama by the ears. The reason being that Second Younger Brother flirted with the beautiful young nuns in the monastery next door.
As for his younger sister, she was really a beauty who could wow the entire country. She had all of the positive traits of both Daddy and Mama, and she was the most perfect work of God.
There was once when his maternal grandmother said emotionally that his younger sister really was as beautiful as Aunt Yin Shuiling back in the day.
In his life, his Daddy and Mama was also very loving.
How were they loving?
Mama was past 30 years old. She was at the age when a woman would be mature. Mama was doing better and better with her career in Zhou Corporation Yi Fan Red Wine, and sometimes she would work overtime and had to go on business dinners.
Every night, when Daddy would be alone in the room, he would always secretly make a phone call. His excuse would forever be their son, younger son, younger daughter was throwing a tantrum… There were 365 days in a year. He did not repeat his reasons even once, and even when Lu Qinwen heard it, he would be embarrassed to listen to them.
At that moment, Mama would always rush back home. She would not get to see her son or daughter at all, and she would be dominated by Daddy.
Actually, how could Mama not know that these were all lies? But the couple had telepathy. They promised one another: when I needed you, you would accompany me by my side.
This love; it did not exist in the past and would not come again in the future because it was one in the entire nation!
