Chapter 468: He's Just Teasing Her
Chapter 468: He's Just Teasing Her
Jiang Xia held the phone receiver and said to Zhou Changchang, "Director Zhou, let's consider it and see how things go. I'm fine, just a bit of swelling in my feet. A Lei is a little worried, yes, yes... alright, goodbye."
Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia with disagreement, but there were other people in the office.
He didn't say anything.
Jiang Xia patted his hand to comfort him and then dialed another factory's number.
...
After finishing the calls, the two got into the car and headed home.
Zhou Chenglei started the car and said, "I won't be going to the Guangzhou Fair this time. I'll stay home and keep you company."
"Hmm, we'll discuss it when we get back," Jiang Xia replied, choosing not to argue with him in the car for safety reasons.
They owe the shipyard more than 600,000 yuan, how can he not go?
Zhou Chenglei was firm, "There's no need to discuss it further, I'm not going."
Jiang Xia remained silent.
Zhou Chenglei also stayed quiet, focusing on driving.
Once they arrived home and he parked the car, Jiang Xia held his large palm as he helped her out of the car, "I didn't ask you to go to the Guangzhou Fair, I plan to go by myself."
Zhou Chenglei tightened his grip on her hand and looked at her in disbelief, then glanced at her belly, his expression saying, "Are you kidding me?"
"I disagree," he said.
Jiang Xia was just teasing him! She laughed and hugged his arm, "I disagree with your disagreement."
"..." Zhou Chenglei's expression was one he had never shown in his nearly thirty years of life, a mix of helplessness and resignation.
"Don't think you can convince me to go like this. How can you go with your belly so big? Standing all day will make your feet swell up beyond recognition! Didn't Doctor Gao say that you shouldn't stand or sit for long periods right now?"
Jiang Xia reassured him, "I'll go with you, I'll just rest in the hotel, read, and prepare for the college entrance exam."
Zhou Mu, who had been listening to their conversation, asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Xia smiled, "Director Zhou called and said the Guangzhou Fair is about to start. A Lei wants to participate, but he's worried about me, so he refused Director Zhou. I think with Mom here to take care of me, he doesn't need to worry at all. It would be great if he could go and earn some money to pay off the remaining payment for the big ship."
Zhou Chenglei glared at her!
Jiang Xia just smiled back.
He averted his gaze, not wanting to look at her.
To prevent himself from being completely defeated!
Zhou Mu also thought that Jiang Xia was right, and she would definitely take good care of her.
While she was concerned about Jiang Xia going, she agreed that their son could go.
However, they needed to check when the Guangzhou Fair was. If it was too close to Jiang Xia's due date, even if the fair could earn them a million yuan, it would be best for A Lei not to go.
Whether he went or not, she would leave the decision to the couple, as they were not children anymore, and she didn't want to interfere.
Zhou Mu only asked, "When is the Guangzhou Fair?"
Zhou Chenglei replied, "I'm not going, no matter when it is."
Jiang Xia said, "It's from mid-April to early May. My due date is still far away!"
Her due date was at the end of July.
Zhou Mu said, "You two discuss it yourselves. If you decide to go, A Lei, I will take care of Jiang Xia just like you would. If you're still worried, I can sleep with Xia Xia at night. The rest is up to you."
Zhou Mu decided to focus on her own tasks and not meddle in their affairs, not wanting to cause any trouble for the couple.
Jiang Xia smiled, "Thank you, Mom!"
Then she turned to Zhou Chenglei, "I've told you Mom will take care of me, are you still worried?"
Zhou Chenglei avoided looking at Jiang Xia, "I'm still worried."
Either way, if he wasn't going, she couldn't go either.
Zhou Chenglei didn't want to discuss this topic with Jiang Xia anymore and walked to the back of the car to get some things.
He had just bought some clothes and shoes for Jiang Xia in the city.
Her feet were swollen, and her old shoes were uncomfortable, so he got her a more spacious pair.
Jiang Xia didn't push the topic further, knowing there was still time, and she would find a way to convince him.
She would keep persuading him until he agreed.
In the upstairs room of the neighboring house,
Wen Wan faintly overheard half of their conversation.
The Guangzhou Fair was already hiring translators?
Why didn't Peng Factory Director call her?
Could it be that he only wanted to invite Jiang Xia?
No, she had to call and ask Peng Factory Director.
This time, she wanted to be a translator like Jiang Xia, accepting only commissions and no salary, and work for multiple factories.
Wen Wan walked out.
Zhou Guohua, whose injury was almost healed and needed to walk with a cane for exercise, saw her leaving and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to make a call. The Guangzhou Fair is about to start, and I want to attend."
Zhou Guohua frowned upon hearing this, "How can you go with your big belly?"
Wen Wan replied, "Why can't I go with my big belly? With my big belly, my mother-in-law still lets me do the laundry and cook. Why can't I go as a translator? Being a translator is even easier than doing housework!"
Zhou Guohua: "I... I didn't stop my mother from assigning you housework, and I'm worried about you going alone without anyone to take care of you since you got injured the last time you went as a translator."
Wen Wan looked at him with disdain, "So what if you're worried? Can you go as a translator and earn money? You're just all talk and can't do anything, right? I don't know if you heard what the neighbor said just now. They want to attend the Guangzhou Fair to earn some money and pay off the remaining payment for their boat. Look, they've ordered another boat. The reason Jiang Xia can stay home with her big belly is that her husband is capable, and he can attend on her behalf! Can you attend on my behalf?"
Zhou Guohua: "..."
Wen Wan didn't bother to argue further and went downstairs to make the call.
Twenty minutes later, Wen Wan returned with a dark expression.
Zhou Guohua noticed and said, "The doctor said I can stop using the cane in a few days. I'll accompany you then."
Not a single mistake, all in one go, in one breath, in one container, in one 6, in one 9, in one book, in one bar, in one look!
Although he couldn't speak foreign languages and couldn't be a translator, he could accompany her and take care of her.
Wen Wan coldly replied, "No need!"
Peng Factory Director had politely declined her, saying he had already found someone else.
She asked Fan Bianzhu to introduce her to some factories, but she didn't know if they would hire her.
Now, she wasn't even sure if anyone would hire her.
In the evening, Zhou Chenglei came out after taking a bath, and Jiang Xia hugged him, standing on her toes to kiss his neck.
He thought to himself, 'Even if she takes the initiative to kiss me, I won't agree.'
But he didn't say anything to avoid losing the benefits.
Zhou Chenglei hugged her back and kissed her lips in return.
With her belly between them, he dared not hold her tightly.
As Zhou Chenglei kissed her, he picked her up horizontally.
And placed her on the bed.
Avoiding her belly.
He lay on top of her.
Then he reached out and covered them both with the blanket.
Continuing.
Jiang Xia held his handsome face, "Shall we go together?"
Zhou Chenglei lowered his head, sealing her lips,
Displeased by her lack of seriousness.
Kissing her passionately.
Jiang Xia thought, 'If he doesn't say anything, I'll take it as his consent!'
Zhou Chenglei kissed her earnestly.
He had always been afraid of hurting the baby and couldn't take her.
He could only satisfy her in other ways.
The next day, Jiang Xia woke up in a hurry around three o'clock.
When she woke up, Zhou Chenglei also woke up.
As they were going out to sea, Zhou Chenglei helped Jiang Xia out of bed and decided not to go back to sleep. He brushed his teeth and washed his face, preparing for the trip.
Jiang Xia said with a yawn, "Today, I'll go out to sea with you to enjoy the sea breeze. I've been cooped up at home for too long."
Zhou Chenglei nodded, "Okay, then neither of us will go to the Guangzhou Fair."
Jiang Xia didn't bother to argue and headed straight for the bathroom.
She was determined to attend the Guangzhou Fair, and she wanted to go out to sea as well.
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
There will be one more chapter updated tomorrow morning. I have a friend's gathering today, someone I haven't seen in a long time. I'll be back home at 9 pm, and I won't have enough time to finish the next chapter.
During this winter break, I'll find a day to update three chapters. I mentioned this before, but I'm not sure if everyone remembers.
