Chapter 396 Zhouzhou's Adopted Son
Chapter 396 Zhouzhou's Adopted Son
Separated by the bathroom door, both sides remained silent.
A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps leaving could be heard outside.
Guessing that Zhou Xian had probably left, Lin Chen said to Jiang Zhouzhou, "Zhouzhou, let's continue."
Downstairs, there were rivals eyeing him covetously. He finally had a chance to be alone with Zhouzhou, and he absolutely couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Don't worry about the others, they're just jealous. Look how self-aware I am, willingly becoming Zhouzhou's mistress. They're all so petty, they can't resist seeing you alone with other men, they deliberately bother me to give you gifts, they have no magnanimity at all."
With no one else around, Lin Chen kept applying eye drops.
After all, if you can't argue with someone to their face, you can only complain about them behind their back.
Jiang Zhouzhou strongly suspects that Lin Chen secretly enrolled in several special classes behind her back, otherwise she wouldn't have been trained like this.
"Let's check the results next time!"
Fever is indeed contagious; Jiang Zhouzhou felt her face burning hot.
When she rejected him, Lin Chen's lips drooped.
Jiang Zhouzhou forced herself to say, "Everyone is here today, and there wasn't enough time. Next time... I'll definitely check properly next time."
Upon hearing "next time," Lin Chen's lips curled up into a smile again.
He knew that Zhouzhou still cared about him.
The door opens.
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced around nervously, and just as she was about to come out, a voice rang out.
Why do you seem so guilty?
The man standing at the corner came out and looked at Jiang Zhouzhou with a slightly amused expression.
Jiang Zhouzhou was startled by his sudden appearance: "You didn't leave just now?"
Zhou Xian raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "If you leave... how will I appreciate your current expression?"
His face suddenly approached Jiang Zhouzhou's, and Jiang Zhouzhou abruptly took a step back.
Lin Chen had just come out when he saw Zhou Zhou backing away, and instinctively helped her up.
Their eyes met, and Lin Chen glared at Zhou Xian: "Zhou Xian, you scared Zhou Zhou."
Zhou Xian lowered his eyes, his gaze shifting to Jiang Zhouzhou, and said meaningfully, "I think she's very bold."
He pulled Jiang Zhouzhou back, leaned close to her ear, and whispered each word in a very low voice: "Especially, lustful."
Jiang Zhouzhou understood the meaning behind his words, and a guilty look flashed across her face.
At this moment, Zhou Xian changed the subject and pointed at Lin Chen: "But it's not your fault. There are too many temptations outside, especially those shameless sluts who always use despicable means to seduce people."
Shameless, slut, despicable.
In short, they all used different insults.
Lin Chen: "..."
Straightening his back, Lin Chen looked directly at Zhou Xian: "So what? As long as it's for Zhou Zhou, I can do anything, no matter how shameless. And what did I do wrong? I was just giving Zhou Zhou some free perks. You really need to change your jealous nature. You're always fighting with Zhou Zhou over her, never thinking about her at all."
Hearing his words, Zhou Xian smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Jiang Zhouzhou's decision to invite you to the housewarming party was absolutely the right one."
Lin Chen didn't understand at first, but after a moment he realized that Zhou Xian was being sarcastic towards him again.
Caught between the two, Jiang Zhouzhou couldn't bear to watch any longer. She silently moved aside and said to them, "You two keep talking, I'm going down first."
Seeing her go downstairs, the two of them immediately shut up and followed her down.
The atmosphere in the living room was relatively harmonious. Yin Yue and Nan Feng must have been talking about something interesting, as they were chatting and laughing.
Ji Yu'an sat quietly by himself, looking somewhat lonely.
Jiang Zhouzhou, afraid that he would feel neglected, sat down next to him and said, "There are a lot of people today, so we're having an outdoor barbecue this afternoon. Someone will bring the tools and ingredients over, and I'll grill some chicken legs for you."
She originally wanted to cook a big meal to treat everyone, but then she thought about her cooking skills...
Ji Yu'an smiled and said, "Yes, thank you Zhouzhou. It's a pity I didn't bring rice cakes today. If it knew there would be chicken legs to eat, it would be very happy."
Speaking of rice cakes, Jiang Zhouzhou also missed them: "Then I'll bake some more delicious ones, and you can pack them up and take them back with you."
That chubby little dog is getting fatter every day.
Jiang Zhouzhou strongly suspects that Ji Yu'an is secretly raising it like a pig.
Lin Chen, unfamiliar with the character "Nian Gao," asked curiously, "Who is Nian Gao?"
Just as Jiang Zhouzhou was about to speak, Zhou Xian answered for her: "Jiang Zhouzhou's adopted son outside."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
That explanation is really quite apt!
"Adopted son?" Lin Chen was a little confused.
Zhou Xian answered for her again: "A dog son kept outside, or an adopted son for short."
Ji Yu'an looked up at Zhou Xian, a faint smile curving his lips, and added, "To be precise, it's a puppy that Zhouzhou and I adopted together. Zhouzhou likes it very much, and she named it Nian Gao (meaning glutinous rice cake)."
Lin Chen curled his lips, noticing a hint of smugness in the white lotus's tone.
Pshaw, it's just a dog.
Yin Yue said, "Now that you're living here, you can have a dog if you want."
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head: "Let's not. We can't take care of another one."
Having said that, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Just then, the doorbell rang again. Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the time and said, "It should be Xiao Dian. I'll go open the door."
Xiao Dian returned to Beijing a few days ago. Knowing that she bought a small villa and invited everyone to visit, she insisted on coming too.
Lin Chen was one step ahead of her: "Zhouzhou, you stay seated and don't move, I'll go."
When he arrived and saw that the person who opened the door wasn't Zhouzhou... only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand the feeling he had at that moment.
Therefore, he also needs to let others experience it.
Lin Chen quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
Sure enough, the moment the door opened, the smile on the face of the person standing outside froze instantly.
Lin Chen seemed to have regained his composure, and lowered his voice to laugh, "It wasn't Zhouzhou who opened the door, are you disappointed?"
However, the boy in front of him walked right past him and went straight to Jiang Zhouzhou. In front of everyone, he suddenly hugged her and said, "Sister, I'm so cold. Hug me."
