Chapter 121: Haste Makes Waste
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wen Zhanyan did not expect Wen Jin to be so fast, but haste would make waste!
Wen Zhanyan was silent for a moment. Then, he looked at Yu Xiaobao’s dejected words. Wen Zhanyan still tried to coax Yu Xiaobao.
Wen Zhanyan said, “Daddy and Mommy, sometimes love is expressed through scolding.”
Yu Xiaobao asked, “Really?”
She responded with a starry-eyed expression.
Seeing Wen Zhanyan’s words in the group chat, Yu Dabao took a glance and responded without holding back.
Yu Dabao said, “Nonsense. Does it mean they’re in love when you see Mars colliding with Earth?”
Yu Xiaobao felt like crying.
Wen Zhanyan was left speechless by Yu Dabao’s retort.
The group chat fell silent once again. Coincidentally, Yu Anwan entered the room. Both Yu Dabao and Yu Xiaobao looked at her as if nothing had happened.
Yu Anwan didn’t mention Wen Jin at all.
Yu Xiaobao blinked her big, beautiful eyes but wisely chose not to say anything further.
Bringing up Wen Jin again would only exacerbate the situation. Wen Jin had already left, so wasn’t Yu Anwan’s outburst directed at them?
Sob, sob, sob. She didn’t want that.
When Yu Anwan went berserk, it was very scary.
Now, Yu Dabao and Yu Xiaobao had the wisdom to keep quiet. They sat obediently on the sofa.
Yu Anwan was extremely tired. Without saying a word, she instructed the two children not to open the door for anyone and went straight back to the master bedroom to get more sleep.
The two little ones were being well-behaved. They comforted Yu Anwan and stayed quiet, not indicating any mischief.
The suite fell into silence.
In the capital, in the evening, Yu Anwan woke up and felt much more energetic.
She hadn’t forgotten about the important matters for the night. Therefore, Yu Anwan applied makeup for herself in a respectable manner. She didn’t deliberately look for a stylist. After all, she wasn’t there to compete for attention. She had serious business to attend to.
For Yu Anwan, Zhou Shen was like a bridge. Her target was the current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Yangheng, who was also Zhou Shen’s father.
To obtain the production line, she needed Zhou Yangheng’s approval, which Zhou Shen couldn’t grant.
Zhou Yangheng had a preference for modest and understated women, unlike those who flaunted their beauty.
That was why Yu Anwan disregarded the more provocative dresses and instead chose the gown Zhou Shen had gifted her. It was a style that appealed to Zhou Yangheng’s taste, a message that Yu Anwan understood.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yu Anwan changed into the gown.
In the mirror, Yu Anwan appeared graceful and captivating. She exuded an air of elegance, resembling a refined lady from a well-respected family.
It was reminiscent of the time when she had married Wen Jin.
It seemed that prominent families preferred daughters-in-law who upheld traditional values and norms, which symbolized safety and would not cause any trouble.
Tsk. Didn’t they know that when things reached an extreme, they would reverse?
As Yu Anwan stepped out, Yu Xiaobao immediately embraced her, speaking in a soft and adorable voice, “Mommy, you look so beautiful tonight, just like a princess.”
“Mommy would rather be a queen!” Yu Anwan responded with a smiling gaze, then gave Yu Xiaobao a firm kiss.
“In my heart, you’re both a queen and a princess, Mommy!” Yu Xiaobao was completely content, expressing her affection.
“Xiaobao is mommy’s darling!” Yu Anwan exclaimed happily.
Yu Dabao was unfazed by this routine. He didn’t even bother rolling his eyes.
He lowered his head to look at the time and reminded her lazily, “Mommy, it’s already 6:40. Zhou Shen has been waiting downstairs for ten minutes.”
Yu Anwan snapped back to her senses and exclaimed, “Dabao, why didn’t you remind me?”
In a rush, she grabbed her evening bag and hurriedly left the suite.
Before departing, Yu Anwan reminded Xiaobao about safety and such.
Yu Dabao unceremoniously closed the suite’s door. Then, all was quiet.
Yu Anwan snorted and decided not to argue with Yu Dabao. She hurried downstairs.
Meanwhile, Yu Dabao and Yu Xiaobao exchanged glances, high-fived, and promptly rushed toward Union Hospital after getting in touch with Wen
Zhanyan.
After all, time was of the essence.
Who knew that Yu Anwan wouldn’t be in a bad mood and come back unexpectedly?
After a while, Yu Dabao brought Yu Xiaobao out.
Yu Anwan, on the other hand, was completely unaware. When she left, the two little fellows in the room also left.
When Yu Anwan arrived at the hotel entrance, Zhou Shen’s car was already waiting.
The waiter quickly opened the car door for her. Yu Anwan smiled and stepped into the car, apologizing, “I’m sorry for being late.”
“It’s alright. You have kids!” Zhou Shen’s understanding tone was apparent.
Yu Anwan smiled and refrained from saying more. She settled into the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
The driver was Zhou Shen. The car smoothly headed toward the Amman Hotel, where the Zhou family’s grand banquet was being held.
Certainly, the arrangements at Amman Hotel were grand enough.
Zhou Yangheng loved to be ostentatious and save face. Yu Anwan knew that. Zhou Shen’s personality was typical of the Zhou family. He could show off as much as he wanted.
Yu Anwan smiled and didn’t say anything. She just leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest. After all, she had something serious to do tonight.
Meanwhile, Zhou Shen was quite talkative, constantly engaging Yu Anwan in conversation, searching for topics to discuss.
Yu Anwan occasionally responded, but for the most part, she remained contemplative.
This didn’t bother Zhou Shen at all. Soon enough, the car came to a halt at the entrance of the Amman Hotel. A waiter promptly approached to assist with parking.
Exiting the car, Zhou Shen walked to the back door and personally helped Yu Anwan out. “We’ve arrived,” he informed her.
Yu Anwan smiled at Zhou Shen. As he gazed at her delicate features, he found himself somewhat mesmerized. His heart skipped a beat.
This Yu Anwan was a bewitching creature, simultaneously pure and provocative. Zhou Shen felt an involuntary attraction, captivated by her.
He lowered his head to look at Yu Anwan. He wanted to kiss her, but Yu Anwan cleverly avoided Zhou Shen’s kiss. Her slender hand naturally fell into Zhou Shen’s arm as if she was holding onto him.
Zhou Shen’s kiss fell through, but when he saw Yu Anwan take the initiative to hold his arm, his unhappiness disappeared.
“Tsk, women can be quite coquettish. What’s with the act of shyness?” Zhou Shen thought to himself.
Then, Zhou Shen adjusted his suit and led Yu Anwan into the hotel…
Zhou Shen was the sole heir of the Zhou family. Over the years, he had been a playboy, a fact well-known within elite circles. Zhou Shen’s exploits would often grace the front pages of the entertainment industry, both domestically and internationally.
The speed at which he changed girlfriends was faster than changing clothes. All of them still had the standard internet celebrity face.
But now, Zhou Shen had taken the initiative to appear with such a smart and gentle woman. He even looked down at her affectionately.
He no longer had the look of a playboy from back then. It was obvious that he was seduced by this woman..
