The battle between the Yuchi family and the Hu family was far beyond the level that Xiao Zheng could touch. Even a big shot like Minister Jin was just a participant, a beneficiary. He was not the leader.
Of course, Xiao Zheng did not have too much emotional baggage just because he was involved in the battle between two young people. If that was the case, he would have been scared to death by Lin Laoyao.
On the contrary, as Xiao Zheng said himself, he was a businessman. He might have a certain amount of political influence and could even influence the battle in some areas. But compared to these two big political families, his little bit of power was not enough to make people feel uneasy.
Just like the Hu family's reaction. Even though Xiao Zheng declined the invitation. They did not come to look for him again and again. There was no intense reaction.
Other than cutting off any possible contact between him and the Yuchi family …
At first, Xiao Zheng was a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was being used and became cannon fodder.
But on the other hand, this was already the softest method that the Hu family could use. In the eyes of some ambitious people, if they could not get it, they would destroy it. And the Hu family only cut off other routes of retreat for Xiao Zheng.
Of course, the so-called cut off was only temporary, temporary, and even harmless.
In the face of absolute benefits, what was a little squabble?
It was just that Xiao Zheng was not worthy of the Yuchi family putting down their pride to look for him.
Putting aside that unpleasant experience, Xiao Zheng's life was still quite comfortable. Usually, he went to work and had meetings. At home, he accompanied Old Lin to cook and sleep, and also to make babies.
Just like that, he climbed to the threshold of thirty without any trouble.
And in this year, he did not know whether God gave this fatherless orphan a gift, or whether he worked hard, or whether Old Lin was awesome.
After half a year of plowing, there was finally some movement in his stomach!
"That was really f * cking difficult!" Xiao Zheng was so excited that his face was red.
After receiving the call from Old Lin, he left the group of high-ranking officials of the overseas department who were in a heated discussion, grabbed his clothes and ran out. Along the way, he even ran two red lights. He rushed back home with a heart full of trepidation.
At that moment, Elder Lin was clearing the dining table and preparing dinner.
"My ancestors!" Xiao Zheng snatched the tool from Old Lin's hand and said indignantly. "You still dare to do housework at a time like this? What if the fetus is affected? Don't forget, you're an elderly woman! "
Lin Huayin didn't seem to be satisfied with the term "elderly woman". But during this period of time, wasn't it also because time waits for no one that she didn't reject Xiao Zheng?
"I just got one, it's fine," Lin Huayin said, but she happily handed the tool in her hand to Xiao Zheng.
"It's the first trimester that affects the fetus." Xiao Zheng glared at Elder Lin and said indignantly. "Do you have any scientific knowledge?"
"Are you glaring at me again?" Old Lin glared back at Xiao Zheng.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he immediately cowered. Rubbing his hands together, he exhaled hot air and said, "Wife, I was wrong. Come, sit on the sofa. From now on, I'm responsible for cooking, washing and mopping. You don't have to do anything. Just play your role as Her Majesty the Queen! "
After saying that, he couldn't help but touch Old Lin's flat and smooth belly. "Come, I want to talk to my son."
Lin Huayin lightly patted Xiao Zheng's head. "It's not even formed yet. What's there to listen to?"
According to a normal mother's script, she should have said, "Who told you it's my son?"
However, Old Lin also wanted to have a son. He wanted to keep the Xiao family alive.
However, Xiao Zheng didn't care. He lied on Old Lin's belly and giggled. "Son, come, sing 'Wife' for me. What? You don't know? You stupid kid! Even if you don't inherit your mother's wisdom, you should inherit your father's wit, right?
"Come, let me teach you!
"Every time someone asks me why I'm alive.
I can only say that it's for a promise.
I used to promise myself that I'll make you happy.
I'll bring you across mountains and rivers.
Every time someone asks me what a wife is.
I could only laugh it off and silently dodge.
"Because I've never tried.
"Without you, what choice do I have?
"I've never even held your hand in my life.
"But I told myself that you're my wife.
"For you, I can have nothing.
"As long as you let me be by your side …"
Xiao Zheng's eyes turned red. He hugged Old Lin's shoulders tightly and choked. "Wife, thank you …"
Even the cold and emotionless Old Lin was moved by Xiao Zheng's lousy singing.
Even though Old Lin only dared to call Xiao Zheng after three tries. However, as a new mother, how could she be as calm as she looked?
She knew that it wasn't easy to get to where she was today.
Her heart ached for everything that Xiao Zheng had done for this family. Even though he had made mistakes, he wasn't the perfect man that existed in her imagination. However, was she, Lin Huayin, really perfect?
She had been watching him silently from the side.
Watching him grow and watch him sacrifice for her. Watching him put in so much effort to protect this family.
It wasn't that she didn't blame him.
More than once.
However, she knew that in the past five years, her husband had never once blamed her. Whether it was verbally or in his heart.
She was very lucky to have met such a man in this life. She was very lucky to finally be pregnant with his child at such an age.
She was no less expectant than Xiao Zheng.
She also wanted to see the crystallization of their love as soon as possible. A child with the surname Xiao.
Yes.
This was the life that she had imagined.
Xiao Zheng was grinning from ear to ear as he prepared dinner. His phone was placed under the smoke and he made a series of phone calls.
"Hello, Old Ye, I'm pregnant! Nonsense, how could this be fake? Are you doubting your foreign minister or me? "
"Hello, mother-in-law, you're going to be a grandmother soon. Yes. That's a must. I'll definitely treat Old Lin like a queen! I'll definitely ask you for advice on raising children later. "
"…"
Xiao Zheng's voice rang out in the kitchen as he announced the good news. Lin Huayin rubbed her lower abdomen gently. There was a hint of tenderness in the corner of her lips. "Child, you're so lucky to have a father who loves you so much."
Xiao Zheng spent the entire night on the phone. His phone ran out of battery, so he charged it while making calls. The corner of his mouth never closed. The smile on his face seemed to be able to melt the cold winter.
Old Lin also looked at him silently as usual. However, there was an additional tenderness on his face that he had never shown before.
That tenderness was called the radiance of motherhood.
"Wife. What are you smiling about? "Xiao Zheng suddenly turned around and looked at Old Lin with a smile.
"Are you smiling?" Old Lin put on a straight face. He asked Xiao Zheng.
"Stop pretending," Xiao Zheng said proudly. "You're so happy, aren't you?"
Old Lin glared at Xiao Zheng and lay down. "Sleep."
