Chapter 1006 - 879: Does This Count as Pillow Talk?
Watching beauty under the lights. Dimly lit, the beauty under the lamp, her blush cheeks hiding shyly, not beautiful but still beautiful. This is actually an artistic conception and poetic expression pursued by ancient literati.Zhang Guoqing could not understand the leisure and elegance of ancient people, but it did not prevent his love for his wife.
In front of the dressing table, he helped Zhou Jiao dry her hair, not daring to be rough at all, his movements were very gentle and skilled.
"I thought you loved the three sons the most, forgetting about their mom now."
The wife’s playful complaint made him raise his lips, drawing out a charming smile: "Do you think that’s possible?"
"Giving off electric sparks again."
Zhang Guoqing chuckled silently. Whoever it was, with every frown and smile watching himself, that laughter tugged at his heartstrings each time. This was the deadly trick!
Zhou Jiao snorted, then glanced at him in the mirror, pressed her lips, couldn’t help but complain in her heart: Truly a silly man!
Zhang Guoqing touched her hair tips, took a step back in satisfaction. Hmm, indeed his wife was the most beautiful, as exquisite as a delicate porcelain doll.
Zhou Jiao blushed from his gaze, gave him a sidelong glance, stood up and walked to the balcony, "Old pal, accompany me to admire the moon, shall we?"
"Sister, if you tease again, believe me, you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow?"
Unlike in summer, autumn nights have a different view, especially with the beloved one by your side. The cool breeze blew, and Zhou Jiao, clad in a coat, shrank her neck but was reluctant to leave.
Zhang Guoqing didn’t have that many romantic cells, seeing this, he shook his head speechlessly, "Are you cold? You can know when mom and dad return from inside."
"Anywhere with you is spring, no, it’s summer."
Zhang Guoqing was teased by these words, bent over and gave a deep kiss. As for whether anyone outside would see? It was late at night, with no one around, under the dark moon and high wind.
After being released, Zhou Jiao picked up the tea, took a big sip, rolled her eyes several times at him, despising someone’s triumphant demeanor.
"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let me tell you something, tomorrow our Ping’an will go to the city, I might have to ask for half a day off to protect him."
Zhou Jiao collected herself, nodded knowingly. Letting Xiao Wang and them go couldn’t be compared to herself. "After this trip, he should receive some lessons."
Zhang Guoqing disagreed, frowned, "Forget it, after all, he’s just eight years old. I think our son knows a lot. He understood to find a safe spot when there were many people a few times."
"Then let’s follow your lead."
Zhang Guoqing raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Zhou Jiao laughed: "You followed a few times, what exactly happened, you have more say than I do."
"Indeed, my wife is reasonable and understanding." Zhang Guoqing smiled, "I’ve already had someone watching that old woman Liang Shengnan. As long as she targets the son, I’ll make her unable to seek survival."
Zhou Jiao saw a flash of coldness in the man’s eyes before her, felt relieved at heart. She chuckled lightly, "She wouldn’t dare now, by the time she does, she won’t have the chance, besides it’s soon."
Zhang Guoqing wouldn’t dare as she said. The consequences of the butterfly effect, he couldn’t bear. If there wasn’t someone watching the other party, he’d have taken action first.
"The situation is increasingly complicated, one scheme wrapped in another, if it weren’t for dad keeping a lid on me, for your safety, I’d want to cut the Gordian knot." After saying this, Zhang Guoqing sighed.
Zhou Jiao chuckled, "Why rush? Without Beauty Liang, there’s Chen Meiren, Beauty Huang, and the like. The enemies are all apparent, what is there to worry about?"
Zhang Guoqing saw her lightly spoken attitude, felt at ease. He had another concern, his wife was the soft spot of this family, he was most worried about someone targeting her.
After accompanying each other for so many years, Zhou Jiao knew well about her lover’s thoughts. But honestly, she was really not worried about anyone coming for her.
If the tiger doesn’t show its power, they all think she’s a sick cat!
At today’s criticism meeting, she saw it all, not that no one wanted to involve her, but they needed to have leverage in their hands!
Hum... With her father present, with her husband present, she was not like those ordinary folks who’d be in trouble with just one complaint letter, not to mention she had aces up her sleeve!
This is the charm of power! No wonder there’s always someone striving to climb upwards.
She could handle these matters herself, didn’t want to worry her family. Zhou Jiao shifted the topic, asked about the letter from their old home in the Northeast.
"I’ll show it to you."
"Forget it, it’s cumbersome. Just tell me about it."
Zhang Guoqing was reluctant to get up either, grabbed his wife’s slender hands, played with them back and forth, just in time for some fun.
"The letter had two stamps attached, it was overweight. Besides from dad and them, there’s letters from Xi Zi, Ziwen, Mai Miao, a few kids to Ping’an."
Zhou Jiao laughed out loud instantly. Really incredible, saving postage for real.
"You’re laughing at this? Your son is more straightforward than them, more impressive!" Zhang Guoqing also felt amused, "Our Ping’an, after reading, directly replied back, addressed with a string of titles, altogether wrote two sheets of paper, that string of titles alone filled up one sheet. Isn’t he more straightforward?"
Zhou Jiao didn’t mind that issue, instead thought of the old home kids’ coordination problem. If she remembers correctly, previous letters mentioned they planned to come to Beijing.
Zhang Guoqing frowned, "Ping’an said the date on his elder brother and sister’s letters was about two months ago, I assume mom accumulated them and sent together to us."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao laughed out loud. This was indeed something her mother-in-law would do!
Following her laughter, Zhang Guoqing also couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
After stopping the laughter, he talked about the coordination matter, "Dad said even the two little girls, Mai Sui and Yaya wanted to go out, really had no way to deal with it, even Mai Miao was banned from traveling."
Zhou Jiao agreed, nodded, "Indeed can’t go far. It’s not about favoring boys over girls, after all, girls are different from boys, encountering something will ruin a lifetime."
"Hmm. Elder sister-in-law said Mai Miao is thirteen years old, just in time for free travel, letting her come to us to play. Probably said other things, but others didn’t mention, whereas big sister had big brother-in-law write, also advised me not to suggest letting kids come to Beijing to play in the future."
Zhou Jiao reminisced about those words, what other reason could make her sister-in-law say that? Thinking of Huang Cuilan’s envy over Zhao Yuanyuan’s dowry last time, she laughed in disdain.
She most hated others calculating on her with cleverness! Just a niece, even if a biological daughter truly disappointed her, she could ignore it.
Truly wishful thinking!
"Don’t be angry!"
Zhou Jiao gently shook her head, smilingly looked at him, "These things don’t deserve my anger. But when Xi Zi marries in a few years, we need to be more careful with the gift."
Zhang Guoqing squinted his eyes, "Haha... I have three sons, how would it be the turn to allocate property to nieces and nephews? Seems like I’m too easy to talk."
"It won’t be about dividing the estate, more like expecting us to bleed money." Zhou Jiao paused, reminded him, "For the coming ten years or so, these soap opera issues won’t arise, you need to consider the future."
Zhang Guoqing understood her meaning. No matter what happens next, regardless of his wife’s space or their presence, the future won’t be a matter of being wealthy, but surely involve having a sizeable family business.
Then, if he softened for a few nieces and nephews, it’d be burying a seed of trouble for his own sons.
"Don’t worry, I know in my heart. Look at those martyrs’ orphans, both dad and I agreed to support them until adulthood, why have we never agreed to take them in?
It’s because when they stay at home for long, human nature is complex, it might pose a threat to our three sons in the future. Even Grandpa Jiang can see this, how could I not understand?"
