Chapter 689 A fake marriage, are they still one family?
"Send the documents over. We'll have a video conference at the old house this afternoon."
After Song Xingwen finished reporting his work, Wenren Chen spoke up.
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Wenren Chen put down his phone and ended the call.
He checked the time, then looked at the little guy whose eyes were about to close but were trying to open again, and got up.
The moment he moved, the little guy immediately perked up and looked at him.
Wenren Chen didn't say anything, but carried him outside.
"Click."
The door opens.
At the door, Zhou Yi had already arrived and was raising his hand to knock.
When the door suddenly opened, she stared blankly at the person who appeared before her.
"Ah! Ah!"
Upon seeing Zhou Yi, the little one froze for a moment, then immediately spoke up, leaning his little body towards her and reaching out his little hand to her.
Hearing the little one's voice, Zhou Yi snapped out of her daze, quickly looked at the little one, took the eager little one into her arms, and held him close.
"Yuyu, what's wrong? Are you crying?"
Seeing the little guy's wet eyelashes and his red, moist eyes from yawning, Zhou Yi felt a pang of anxiety.
"Oh my god!"
The little one snuggled into Zhou Yi's arms, grabbed her clothes with his little hands, and looked into her eyes with his big eyes.
The redness and swelling have subsided a lot, and she looks much better than before. It's clear she's been crying, but she doesn't seem as heartbroken as before.
The little guy was a little relieved and touched Zhou Yi's eyes with his little hand, showing great concern.
Seeing the little one's condition, Zhou Yi didn't answer her. He only cared about her eyes and whether she was better.
Her heart softened instantly, and she said gently, "Aunt Zhou Yi is alright. Aunt Zhou Yi is back. Yu Yu, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for Aunt Zhou Yi?"
As he spoke, Zhou Yi looked at Wenren Chen.
Wenren Chen stared at her, especially at her reddened eyes, which no longer held sadness, but only worry.
Worried about the child.
Now, those eyes are looking at him, and he opens his lips: "He's waiting for you."
Zhou Yi immediately felt apologetic and guilty, saying, "Yu Yu, Aunt Zhou Yi will take you to bed. Let's go to bed now~"
As she spoke, she picked up the little one and headed to the nursery.
But then she remembered something and quickly said to Wenren Chen, "Sir, it's noon now. You and Mom can have lunch. I've already told Mom everything, so there's nothing to worry about."
"After you have lunch, go to work. There are no problems at home, and I'm fine here too, so don't worry."
Because of her, my husband was delayed all morning and can't delay any longer.
Wenren Chen placed his arm on her waist and back and said, "No rush."
Take her to the nursery.
Zhou Yi was stunned and looked at him.
Sir, are you... really not busy?
The family of three went to the nursery, tidied up the little one, put him on the bed, and Zhou Yi gently patted him to sleep.
But actually, there's no need to coax him; the little guy falls asleep as soon as his little body touches the bed, and he falls asleep very quickly.
He had been holding on and waiting for Zhou Yi, and he was relieved when Zhou Yi returned safely.
Don't worry anymore.
Zhou Yi sat by the bed, looking at the sleeping little face, so well-behaved, cute, smart and sensible.
Yu Yu is doing well.
Because the Wen family is good, the old lady is good, and the teacher is good, they have such a good child.
Wenren Chen sat beside Zhou Yi, watching her delicate fingers gently pat the blanket, one pat at a time, keeping the little one company.
"Sir, please go have lunch. I'll stay here with Yuyu."
The little one was fast asleep. Zhou Yi withdrew her fingers and whispered to the person beside her who hadn't left.
Wenren Chen took her hand and said softly, "Aunt Dong will stay here with Yuyu. Let's go have lunch."
After saying that, he led her out of the nursery and said to Aunt Dong, who was waiting outside, "Aunt Dong, you stay with Yuyu."
Aunt Dong said, "Okay, sir."
She quietly entered the nursery, closed the door, and stayed by the little one's side.
As Zhou Yi watched Aunt Dong go inside and the door close in front of her, she felt a deep sense of guilt.
She should stay with Yuyu; Yuyu has been waiting for her for a long time.
but.
She was going to the restaurant with her husband to dine with the old lady.
Although the old lady was no longer angry, he was still afraid that she would blame the gentleman.
The two left the Ink Garden and headed towards the restaurant in the front courtyard.
Sheng Mingying had already gone to the front yard restaurant. Zhou Yi asked the maid, so the two of them went directly there.
The rain has subsided considerably, now just a light drizzle. The torrential downpour before seemed like a dream, gone as soon as I woke up.
The servant continued to do her work silently, and Zhou Yi and Wenren Chen could see her all the way.
On their way to the front yard, Zhou Yi leaned close to Wenren Chen and whispered in his ear, "Sir, I told the old lady that my brother knows about our marriage."
I need to talk to my husband about this.
After she finished speaking, she looked at him nervously, feeling very uneasy.
She shouldn't have said it was her own business, but given the circumstances...
Zhou Yi lowered her head, feeling extremely guilty and apologetic.
She also caused her husband's family to be affected by her own affairs.
She married her husband to help him, but it seems she didn't help him at all; instead, she caused him trouble.
A soft, gentle voice reached his ears, carrying the faint fragrance of her hair. Wenren Chen looked at her lowered head.
She was almost buried in the sand by her self-blame.
She pulled her arms inward, and her petite body instantly pressed against his.
Zhou Yi sensed his movement and looked up at him.
Wenren Chen said, "It's nothing."
“My mother knows everything.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yi frowned and said, "Sir, I'm sorry."
Her husband always understood her this way, he always has.
Wenren Chen held her hand; it had been icy cold all day. He closed his fingers around her small hand and said, "It was my fault for not handling it well."
Zhou Yi's eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head: "No, this has nothing to do with you, sir. It's my fault. I didn't handle it well. Sir, please don't blame yourself because of what the old lady said. Please don't think like that."
It wasn't originally the gentleman's business, but after the old lady brought it up, the gentleman also felt it was his own business.
That's not true.
Her face instantly turned anxious, and she grabbed his cold little hands, not wanting him to take the blame.
Wenren Chen gazed into her red eyes and held her small hand tightly in his large hand: "Tell me anything that happens in the future. Don't worry about me or your mother. We are family."
"..."
Zhou Yi was stunned and speechless.
Sir, he said the same thing as the old lady.
They are... a family.
family……
Isn't she and her husband in a contractual relationship?
Wasn't their marriage a sham?
Even if it's a fake marriage, are they still family?
Zhou Yi didn't understand.
The two went to the front yard, and Zhou Yi was confused by Wenren Chen's words.
Wenren Chen said nothing more, but simply pulled her into his arms, his large hand enveloping her small hand, giving her his warmth continuously.
Front yard, main hall.
Sheng Mingying sat on the sofa, drinking tea and reading the afternoon newspaper.
The maid came up behind Qi Ma and whispered to her that Zhou Yi and Wenren Chen were on their way. She nodded, dismissed the maid, and came to Sheng Mingying's side, whispering, "Madam, Sixth Young Master and Young Mistress are here."
