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.
Zhou Dayuan carried the small fella in his arms before placed him by Jian Han's side. He bent over and placed one hand on Jian Han's side before using another hand to wipe the tears on the small fella's face."Son, don't cry. Mummy is here. Are you hungry now?"
The little fella was very upset. He bent his body as he nudged his way into his mother's embrace.
Jian Han's small, gentle face was tinted with a little pink. She lifted the blankets as she secretly tugged her shirt down underneath the blankets, and she allowed the little fella to drink milk.
Zhou Dayuan looked at her knitted eyebrows due to the pain she was experiencing. He bent his body down to kiss her small face. The family of three were all nested on a single bed. Gently and softly, he said to her, "Wifey, does it hurt or not?"
"Oh, it doesn't hurt..."
"Wifey, what name should we give our son?"
Jian Han fluttered her long, thin fan-like lashes, and she coyly discussed it with him."Is the name Little Stone okay?"
This small fella went through many obstacles with his mother, and he was just as healthy and strong like a small stone.
Zhou Dayuan raised his eyebrows up as he laughed softly."It can only be a nickname."
Jian Han burst out into laughter as she listened to him obediently."Oh, okay. His formal name should be given by his father, you."
Zhou Dayuan's warm and gentle gaze was all apparent. He kissed her small face while he brought his left hand under the blankets."Is there a lack of milk? I will go home to brew some soup for you later, and I will help you to massage it right now."
Jian Han buried her small face into his embrace. Little Stone really did not drink much milk, and he was Doctor Zhou; his massage techniques could allow his son to have more milk and make her comfortable at the same time.
Jian Han's long lashes were fluttering multiple times. Her slim left shoulder cupped Little Stone as she used her right hand to firmly tug his sweater when he came to kiss her. She was in her confinement period, and he naturally knew how to control his strength as he kissed her, but Jian Han still wanted to duck away. Little Stone was born already. He could definitely hear the sound of his parents kissing, and it made her face blush.
At this moment, the sound of a group of footsteps rang out in the air."Where is Older Sister Jian? Which room is Older Sister Jian staying in?"
Zhou Dayuan quickly let go of Jian Han. He stood up straight from the bed. It was just in time. The door of the ward was pushed open, and a group of people streamed in together with raucous laughter.
Ning Qing was already pregnant for three months now. Her bump was larger than others, as she had twins, and she was already showing now.
"Older Sister Jian, Older Sister Jian, you gave birth already? Wow, it's a fat fella; what is his name?"
".... Little Stone."
"Little Stone? This nickname was given too carelessly. How can the grandson of our Zhou family have such a name?" Yue Wanqing was displeased as she spoke.
Little Qinwen squeezed his way through the crowd, and he snuck his small head out, "Where is little younger brother? I want to see little younger brother."
Zhou Dayuan pushed Lu Shaoming who was standing beside him, "Your son is calling my son little younger brother. What do you think about it?"
Lu Shaoming slanted his gaze over as he was unwilling and unhappy before he said, "Lu Qinwen, that is your oldest uncle."
...
Little story.
Lu Qinwen was 10 years old today. As the eldest son of the Lu family, he was very bored because there were no other kids to play around with him.
Oh, he did have one friend, and that was Zhou Pingan who was one and a half years younger than him, and his nickname was Little Stone.
Zhou Pingan looked very beautiful. His character resembled his parents. He liked to be quiet, and there were some times when he could play in the living room all by himself for hours on end. When asked what he was playing with, of course he had to inherit his parent's talent. He used syringes to poke his little panda, little kitten, and little toys all in the butt.
Oh, he was once stabbed in the butt by this Zhou Pingan before.
That was a night that he did not want to remember. His Daddy and Mama went to attend a banquet. He did not know why, but his stomach did not feel too well. Auntie Yang made a call to get a doctor over. He had yet to wait for the doctor to arrive. Zhou Pingan came over. That small fella climbed onto his bed in an instant and stabbed him with a needle.
He cried out immediately. He cried out due to the pain. This was the first time that Zhou Pingan changed his target from his soft toys to a real human, and Lu Qinwen was his first experimental target.
It was fine to be a target. His stomach really did not continue hurting anymore. He was really cured by Zhou Pingan, and at that time, Zhou Pingan was only eight and a half years old.
He suddenly thought of Little Uncle... Oh, no, that was not right. Little Younger Grandpa did say that he only wanted one child in the past. He was lucky. He had to be thankful that he only wanted one child. If not, his butt would definitely be the target of many more needles.
Zhou Pingan's parents had a good relationship, and these past few years, even his Mama Ning Qing was jealous of them.
There was once when they went to the Zhou family as guests. Oh, he forgot to mention, the Zhou family moved out of the condominium and moved into a manor. There was retro styled door engraved with floors, neatly manicured green grass, a small bridge over flowing water, and a European style garden. It was beautiful looking like a place where angels resided.
At that time, they walked inside. Zhou Pingan and his parents were playing on the lawn as a happy family of three. Zhou Pingan's father was perched on the lawn. Zhou Pingan's mother rode on his back together with Zhou Pingan. That was a bright and beautiful day. It was a good day with bright sunshine. Zhou Pingan's mother was laughing so happily. Little Stone, Daddy is bringing us to ride a horse right now...
Zhou Pingan's father was very busy with his work. When he came home, there were many times when he would answer a call at home and have a frown on his face. At this moment, Zhou Pingan's mother would walk over and stretch her fingers out to help him smooth his forehead. Every time she did this, Zhou Pingan's father would laugh, and his laugh was just like the breeze in spring during March.
In his life, Zhou Pingan's mother would be very blissful and happy. Her voice was coy due to her being pampered. Her expressions were glowing and radiant after getting moisturized.
How did he pamper her?
There was a time, for example, the light in the kitchen of the manor was spoilt. Zhou Pingan's mother called Zhou Pingan's father, and at that moment, Zhou Pingan's father was participating in a charity meeting, but he did not even take ten minutes to rush back home, and he rolled his sleeves up as he stood on the chair to change the light bulbs personally.
Zhou Pingan's mother held a lantern in her hands as she stood at the side of the chair, and the couple conversed with one another.
Zhou Pingan's father cracked a joke. He had said, "In a restaurant, Xiao Zhi said that Chinese men were the most useless. Most of them were afraid of their wives, and he would do an experiment right now. Those that were afraid of their wives would need to stand to the left.
"After that, everyone stood to the left, and it was only Xiao Zhi who was standing at his original spot.
"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!
