Chapter 1315 - Incoming 4
Upon hearing that, Captain Xiao respectfully responded. Then, Su Chen held Ji Zitong’s hand before walking towards their car.
Ji Zitong watched as Su Chen just pulled her away. She could not help but ask, “Where…are you going?”
Su Chen turned around to shoot her a glance, but he did not slow down his steps while his lowered voice was filled with concern, “You haven’t rested well since last night. Considering that it’s burnt to this stage, there’s no use for you to stick around here. You should just go home and rest first. I’ll arrange for someone to handle things over here.”
Under the dim streetlights, Su Chen could already see the fatigue gathered on her face and the concern between her brows.
Pausing, Ji Zitong, took one look at him, and then worriedly turned around to look at the blaze still going at it. After she thought about it, she said with concern, “But right now, with this…I’m still a little worried.”
“Well, you can only worry so much. At this point, we need to wait for them to investigate it thoroughly too, so you should just have a good sleep. When you wake up, they’ll be almost done putting out the fire. You’ll only have the energy to deal with these things once you rest well. Be good! I’ll arrange for someone to come over and watch over this. Get in the car. I’ll send you home. It’s almost time for work now,” Su Chen said. Before she could reject him, he pulled open the car door and indicated for her to get in.
However, Ji Zitong could not help but turn to have a few more glances before she got into the car. Su Chen took his phone out to arrange for an assistant to oversee this situation, then he got into the car while Ji Zitong also called her shop assistant and explained a few things before she could relax.
After Su Chen swiftly started the car, he turned to look at the woman beside him. He did not miss the uneasiness and worry that gathered in her eyes. As his dark eyes flickered, he consoled, “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. Even if the situation turns out bad, we’ll only have to pay a compensation fee at most.”
At this point, Ji Zitong sighed helplessly. “Even though you put it like that, but with this, all the hard work from before has gone to waste. It wasn’t easy for the flower shop to get to where it is today. Business was quite bad before this, but we finally managed to get to this stage and finally got on track. However, now this has happened. I…” Ji Zitong’s voice was filled with sadness, but mostly helplessness.
As Su Chen listened, a smile flashed at the corner of his lips. He looked at her again and took in that sad and heartbroken look of hers as he chuckled softly. “What’s there to be sad about? You don’t have to think about the store anymore. You’re so tired. I see you worry all day. You’re even more worried than Ah Chen and Xiaye who run a huge corporation, yet you don’t get much in returns. Still, you work quite hard and happily at it.”
“Even if the business or profits are small, I’ve hustled for it myself. Obviously, I’d feel a little sad that it’s been instantly destroyed like this.” Ji Zitong rolled her eyes at him.
As he shrugged, his stern face did not look very glum. He turned on the music player in the car, and a familiar song instantly filled the narrow space.
“Don’t be sad now. Coincidentally, Mother’s been planning on getting you familiarized with the work at the company. Go over to help then. She’s been thinking of how to lighten this burden on her shoulders. Father might be retiring in a few years too, so you should learn a thing or two from Mother now.”
Su Yu had her own career, and there was no way Su Chen could take over Xie Jiajia’s company with his identity, so this burden was going to fall on Ji Zitong eventually. Therefore, she could not reject it.
Because of this, Xie Jiajia always looked for Ji Zitong to have heart-to-heart chats. She was worried that someone like JI Zitong would hold onto any burdens in her heart.
They had been married for almost a year now, so Ji Zitong was actually quite familiar with the Su family now. The Su family was not the big shots she thought they were. Instead, the Sus, the Mus, and the Zhous were all like normal people. Everyone lived together in harmony. In fact, all the families had each other’s backs, and they were all very easygoing families.
Gradually, Ji Zitong saw them as her own kin too. She was not as awkward as she had been when it came to interacting with them.
However, at the thought of this, she could not help but be slightly worried again. She did not forget that a few days ago, the elder had gone over to her store and mentioned children again since he was looking forward to it!
You could not blame Elder Su for being anxious either. Su Chen was going to be 34 years old soon whereas Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were already parents to two sons. With that to compare, how could Elder Su not be anxious?
When she did not say anything, Su Chen slowed down the car and turned to look at her. Upon seeing her gazed expression, he asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you’ve got lots on your mind. I told you that you don’t have to worry about this.”
A light flashed in Ji Zitong’s bright and moving eyes. Suddenly, it was as if she made a decision, as she suddenly told him, “I’m not worried about this, Su Chen.”
“Hmm?” Su Chen squinted at her, confused. “Then, what’s it about?”
Ji Zitong took a deep breath, then turned to look at the side of his face before saying, “Su Chen, I’ve thought about it for a long time. I think we should have children soon. I’ve been preparing. If we make it in time now, I’ll be giving birth next year in August or September. I heard that babies born during these two months are very smart, so I thought…instead of having children later, we might as well have them sooner.”
She was not quite sure what had been up with her recently. She just wanted children, especially when she saw other people’s cute children. Earlier, when she went to Mu Yuchen’s place and saw the cute little Mu Xiaocheng, she really liked him and felt envious. Suddenly, she longed for a child that was hers and Su Chen’s.
The moment Ji Zitong finished, Su Chen was stunned. He could not help but slow the car to a stop and turn to look at her in surprise. His profound eyes locked onto her fair little face as he said in a lowered voice, “Do you know what you’re saying?”
When Su Chen asked that question, Ji Zitong immediately nodded frankly. Her tone was determined as she replied, “Of course, I just want to have a child with you. You wouldn’t reject this request of mine, would you?”
“Aren’t we waiting till next year? I was planning on giving you a year as buffer,” Su Chen asked.
He did not know who he had heard this from, but he believed that the moment a woman decided to have children with you, it meant that she was ready to spend the rest of her life with you…
