377 Clingy (Part 2)
“Jiaojiao, can I see the child?”
“Ningning is your daughter. You can look at her whenever you want.” Yue Jiaojiao tucked her in and got up to push the charcoal brazier a little closer. Then, she walked out of the door and ordered Madam Qin to bring the child over from Li Miao’s house.
Fang Tianliu and Zhao Zhan happened to appear in front of her.
Zhao Zhan strode up in two steps and held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand to warm it up. The coldness around him disappeared instantly when he saw her. “Why are you standing outside in such cold weather?”
!!
“I just came out of the room, so I’m not cold.” Yue Jiaojiao let him hold her hand and turned to look at Fang Tianliu. “Fang Tianliu, Xiangjun has woken up. She’s waiting for you in the room.
“Madam Qin will carry Ningning over later.”
“She’s awake? Right now?” Fang Tianliu was overjoyed. He ran up the steps and pushed open the door like the wind.
“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao squeezed his palm, “Shall we go back to the room? I’m sure they can handle themselves from here.”
“I’ll carry you back.” Zhao Zhan bent down with his back facing her. “You’ve worked hard these days.”
Because of Li Xiangjun, Jiaojiao had been pampering and taking care of Xiangjun. Along the way, Zhao Zhan and the child had been neglected.
Zhao Zhan had originally wanted to let the servants take care of her, but Yue Jiaojiao was afraid that Li Xiangjun would be upset when she woke up due to her injuries. Hence, she persuaded Zhao Zhan to give up on the idea.
“Okay, then you carry me.”
Yue Jiaojiao was dressed in thick clothes.
In the past, she had been very thin. In the past two years, under Zhao Zhan’s care, she had become slightly plump. Although she had gained weight, she still looked petite.
“I’m feeling a little hungry.”
Zhao Zhan’s hands firmly wrapped around her legs and he slowly walked back to his room. “What do you want to eat today? I’ll cook for you.”
“Forget it, there are many people in the family now. Didn’t we specially invite a chef over because Grandmother is used to the food at home? Since he’s in the kitchen, we can try some Bei City cuisine.”
“Then don’t eat too much for dinner today. I’ll use the small kitchen in the backyard to make some of your favorite food later.”
Zhao Zhan’s tone was firm.
He didn’t want his lover to be considerate and sensible. He just wanted her to live happily and willfully.
“Let’s eat separately from them in the future.”
“Previously, only Madam Qin and I were in charge of cooking at home, so it was more convenient for the family to eat together. Now that the chef is here, we won’t have to eat together.
“Later I will find an opportunity to tell them this.”
He didn’t mention it before because he and Madam Qin were in charge of cooking at home. It was too troublesome and trivial to cook separately, and it affected his concentration in cooking for his lover.
In addition, the Zhang family’s roots were in Bei City, so they naturally had their own eating habits. When everyone ate together, they had always accommodated this place.
If they were separated, it could be more relaxing for everyone. Family ties would not disappear because of such a small matter.
His lover was the most important one here to him.
Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Yue Jiaojiao no longer retorted.
Being sensible and considerate was something that only required proper etiquette. As long as Zhao Zhan was willing to pamper her, she would not force herself to be wronged in front of Zhao Zhan and demand a reputation for doing things perfectly.
Yue Jiaojiao hugged Zhao Zhan’s neck tightly.
Zhao Zhan had already entered the room. “Now that Xiangjun is awake, we don’t have to worry too much about her and Fang Tianliu anymore…”
Caught off guard, Zhao Zhan placed Yue Jiaojiao on the bed, then turned around and grabbed her wrist. “We could…”
Zhao Nian was now five months old.
However, Zhao Zhan had been apprehensive of Yue Jiaojiao’s body, which had yet to recover, and had not dared to touch her.
He leaned forward, half-hugging Yue Jiaojiao as he lay on his back. When he spoke, he was very close to her. “Have you thought about what you want to eat tonight? I’ll go to the small kitchen and make them for you.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s face was warm, and her entire body was enveloped in Zhao Zhan’s aura. Caught off guard, her face turned red.
“Zhao Zhan.”
His lover’s voice was soft and coy, it was as sweet as sugar water.
Zhao Zhan leaned closer to her and held her in his arms. “Should we let Zhao Nian sleep with Madam Qin tonight?”
Yue Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. “That’s fine, but Zhao Nian…” she replied hesitantly.
The child recognized his mother at three months.
Although Yue Jiaojiao was playing with him most of the time and would rarely hold him in her arms, Zhao Nian still liked to stick to her.
Especially in the recent month, perhaps it was because he had moved to a different environment when he went to Huai County, which made him feel less secure. After he came back, he liked to stick to Yue Jiaojiao even more.
