Back then, in order to reject the Bai clan's marriage alliance, Shang Yao had no choice but to drag Xiao Zheng into the water, and used pregnancy as an excuse to reject the Bai clan. This caused a huge reaction in both the Yan clan and the Bai clan. Shang Jingtian was even more furious because of this.
This time, when Yan Shichang proposed a birthday banquet, the Bai clan already had some clues. If Xiao Zheng still didn't come, wouldn't it be too obvious that he was faking it?
Xiao Zheng knew that Shang Yao was probably at her wit's end. After all, the meaning behind her words was very clear, Bai Wushuang was basically going to attend this birthday banquet. Hua Xia's political and business elites would also come in full force. If Xiao Zheng didn't come, it would be really inappropriate.
But Shang Yao had Shang Yao's difficulties, how could Xiao Zheng not have the same?
In the early stages of Old Lin's pregnancy, Xiao Zheng secretly went to Shang Yao's birthday banquet. He would feel a strong sense of guilt. Even if nothing happened, even if he didn't have to do anything. As long as he was there.
But even so, his heart was still a bit against it.
"Boss Xiao, if it really makes things difficult for you, I won't force you." Shang Yao said faintly. "I have a way to get out of this."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng asked curiously: "What way?"
The other side of the phone was silent for a moment, then Shang Yao's voice slowly came: "Father and the Bai clan want me and Bai Wushuang to unite by marriage. In order to achieve the effect of a strong alliance. As long as I don't give the Bai clan this chance, I can safely get through this. "
"You mean — —" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, vaguely guessing Shang Yao's intention.
"There are many young geniuses here, it shouldn't be difficult to find a marriageable young man who isn't repulsive, right?" Shang Yao said slowly.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he laughed bitterly, "How can one's life be taken lightly?"
He also knew, with Shang Yao's background, talent, and appearance, countless young geniuses would flock to her like vultures. As long as she nodded, there would be plenty of outstanding youths for her to choose from. Other than Bai Wushuang, she could even find a descendant of an official family to marry. They had reached the strongest alliance.
However, Shang Yao didn't seem to place her marriage as the top priority. She kept evading and avoiding it.
"It's precisely because I don't want to play around that I shamelessly sought Boss Xiao's help. It's a pity … "Shang Yao's bitter words came from the other side of the phone, which made one's heart soften.
Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment, but in the end, he could not bear to refuse. Pursing her lips, she said, "Alright, I'll arrange the time. I'll definitely come if I can. "
"Really?" Shang Yao was overjoyed. "Boss Xiao, you can't stand me up."
Xiao Zheng laughed involuntarily and said, "Am I that untrustworthy in Miss Shang's eyes?"
"This matter is of great importance. I can't help but feel nervous. "Shang Yao smiled. "I forgot myself."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng rubbed his brows and sighed, "A debt of gratitude. When will I be able to repay it? "
This was probably a difficult problem that troubled every Hua Xia person. Living in this society, there would definitely be interpersonal relationships. Whether he refused or not, it was usually enough to torture a person to death.
Thinking about it this way, although Old Lin's way of doing things was a little unreasonable and a little western. But it could save a lot of trouble. At least no one would dare to threaten her, and no one would talk about favors with her.
Of course, the prerequisite was that she had a big heart.
Not everyone could transcend the mortal world and ignore the ways of the world.
At night, she and Old Lin had a delicious dinner cooked by jESSICA. Maybe jESSICA's cooking was too exquisite. Or maybe Old Lin had to absorb two portions of nutrition. She ate a little more than usual. Although it was limited, it was still developing in a good direction.
After jESSICA finished her work in the kitchen, she went straight to his room. She provided enough private space for Xiao Zheng and Lin Sanjiu.
Firstly, the villa was big enough. It was easy to avoid the two watching TV in the living room. Secondly, when the two were at work, jESSICA could wander around the mansion as she pleased. Hence, at night, he didn't need to disturb the loving couple.
With his arm around Old Lin's waist, Xiao Zheng drank fruit juice and ate the dessert that jESSICA prepared. He comfortably curled up on the sofa and watched TV. Occasionally, he would play with Old Lin's slender fingers and occasionally touch his stomach that didn't have any protrusion. No matter how cold the wind outside the window was, it couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart.
"Try not to work overtime in the future. Even if you aren't tired, my son will find it tiring, "Xiao Zheng said gently. When he mentioned his son, Xiao Zheng's face was full of pride.
"Okay." Lin Huayin nodded. She didn't reject Xiao Zheng's good intentions.
"It's the end of the year. I didn't get your permission, so I invited Siyan and the rest over for a reunion dinner. I bumped into Tang Ming in the afternoon and mentioned it to him. Is there any problem on your side? "Xiao Zheng asked casually.
Old Lin had her own principles. However, most of the time, no matter how reasonable or unreasonable Xiao Zheng's requests were, she would comply with them.
A wife who listened to her husband was usually not a bad person. The same was also true.
"You can arrange it." Lin Huayin looked up and sized up the four-hundred-square-meter mansion that was worth over a hundred million. "It's a little empty. It lacks people."
"Didn't you like it being quiet in the past?" Xiao Zheng teased. "You're going to be a mother soon. Even your mentality has changed?"
Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng. "Don't talk back."
Xiao Zheng chuckled. He was extremely obedient.
After watching some entertainment programs, the two of them went back to their room to shower and sleep. They lay on the soft, big bed. Xiao Zheng suddenly asked, "Can you get used to jESSICA's existence? If you don't like it, I'll buy him a building next door. "
Words were spoken at different levels. Just because of this small problem … Xiao Zheng could say that he would buy a villa for jESSICA.
What an evil capitalist!
"No need." Lin Huayin shook her head and said softly. "It's livelier with more people in the house."
"That's good." Xiao Zheng nodded and joked. "Now we're back to the old problem. If I have a son, what should I call him? A daughter? You have to think of a great name for my child. "
"Think about it." Lin Huayin pursed her lips. "It's a father's duty."
"I'm not educated enough." Xiao Zheng said awkwardly. "You know my taste is limited. What if I don't choose a good name and the child blames me in the future? "
"It's okay." Lin Huayin said.
"Then I'll try." Xiao Zheng patted his head. He said solemnly. "Xiao Ruian?"
"You read too many wuxia novels?" Lin Huayin asked.
Xiao Zheng was exposed. He said awkwardly, "Xiao Ruixue?"
The first was a boy's name.
The second was a girl's name.
"Go to sleep." Lin Huayin closed her eyes and lost interest in continuing the conversation.
She knew that Xiao Zheng was lacking in this area. But Old Lin had her own insistence. She would not overstep her bounds and do what Xiao Zheng had to do.
Xiao Zheng looked at Old Lin's expression and knew that he must have chosen a bad name. He said angrily, "I'll buy a dictionary tomorrow."
