Marriage First, True Love Later



210 Trying to fall in love

When Lin Li came in again, mother Zhou had already instructed the Auntie to prepare the meal. Seeing that Lin Li came in but didn’t see Zhou han, she asked, ” “Why isn’t ah han coming in?”

Lin Li cleared her throat and only said, ” he’s still outside. A client is calling. I have something urgent to ask him.

“I see.” Mother Zhou nodded and didn’t ask anything more.

“Mom, I’ll help Auntie set the table.” Lin Li said as she went to the kitchen, ready to help with the meal.

When Zhou han finished smoking outside and came in, the food had already been placed on the table. Xiao bin had also been brought over by Lin Li to wash his hands and was now sitting upright on the chair like a little gentleman. When he saw Zhou han come in, his big black eyes sparkled. He hadn’t seen Zhou han for a few days and now that he saw him, he was obviously a little happy.

Zhou han naturally saw the little guy’s expression, but he didn’t respond. His eyes just swept across him coldly and then directly looked elsewhere.

Lin Li, who was sitting beside the little guy, naturally saw all of this, so she didn’t miss the little guy’s disappointment when Zhou han didn’t look over.

Of course, Lin Li wasn’t the only one who noticed this detail. Father Zhou, who was sitting at the head of the table, also noticed it. Father Zhou looked at Zhou han and frowned slightly.

Mother Zhou had indeed prepared a lot of dishes, and it was just as she had said on the phone just now. She kept putting food on Lin Li’s plate. Lin Li didn’t want to disappoint her, so she could only work hard and work hard. So, after this meal, Lin Li almost ate to the point of being full. In the end, mother Zhou even had to serve her the chicken soup. Seeing that Lin Li really couldn’t eat anymore, she gave up and said that she would leave it for later at night after they had digested it.

Although the atmosphere during the meal was not as lively, it was still considered smooth. After the meal, mother Zhou pulled Lin Li to sit in the living room and chat. Zhou Jiabin was playing with the building blocks that he hadn’t put together before the meal. After the Auntie cleaned it up, she cut some fruit in the kitchen and brought it out for them. As for Zhou han, he was called into the study by father Zhou.

Mother Zhou used a toothpick to poke a piece of honeydew that had been cut and handed it to Lin Li. come, eat the honeydew. I went to the farmer’s market with Auntie this morning to buy it. It’s very sweet.

“Thank you, Mom, but I really can’t eat anymore.” “Mom, you can eat it yourself,” Lin Li waved her hand and said.

Mother Zhou didn’t give in. She raised her hand and refused to put it down. just eat one piece, just one piece. You won’t be full. Eating more fruits will help with digestion.

Seeing that she was so insistent, Lin Li naturally couldn’t refuse. She reached out to take it and put it to her mouth to take a bite. It was indeed very sweet. She raised her head and smiled at mother Zhou.

Looking at the little guy beside her, Lin Li reached out and took a piece from the plate and handed it to Xiao bin. come, Xiao bin, the cantaloupe is very sweet.

The little guy raised his head and looked at her. He reached out and took a piece from the plate, not taking the piece Lin Li handed over.

Seeing this, mother Zhou quickly joked and said, ” hehe, children are all like this. They don’t like what others give them and like to take it by themselves.

Lin Li retracted her hand and turned to look at mother Zhou, smiling slightly at her.

Mother Zhou was worried that she would think too much. She hesitated for a while, then took her hand and said,”Xiao Li, please don’t mind her. Children are all like this.”

Lin Li knew that she had misunderstood and explained, ” “Mom, I don’t mind, really.” She knew that children loved their parents the most. Even if their parents had beaten and scolded them, blood was still thicker than water.

Looking at the little guy, Lin Li thought of her child who was not fated to be born. If the child was still there, her stomach would have been big by now. She could feel the scene of him causing trouble in her stomach just by touching it.

Thinking of this, Lin Li’s mood became a little depressed again.

Mother Zhou looked at the smile on her face that was slowly retracting and thought that Lin Li really minded. She sighed in her heart, then gently patted her hand and said, ” Xiao Li, don’t be calculative with children. Children are always more innocent. They don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. As long as you treat them well, they’ll know after a long time.

Lin Li came back to her senses and knew that it was not convenient for her to explain. She only looked at mother Zhou, smiled, and nodded.”Mom, I know.”

Hearing her say this, mother Zhou patted her hand and nodded her head.

The two of them looked at Xiao bin, who was playing with building blocks. Lin Li slowly opened her mouth and said, ” mom, I like children, so I like Xiao bin too. Although he’s not very willing to accept me now, I believe that he will accept me in time.

Upon hearing this, mother Zhou nodded. yes, yes, I will. I definitely will.

The two of them stared at the little guy for a long time. Mother Zhou suddenly thought of something and pulled Lin Li’s hand, saying, ” Xiao Li, you said that you like children. Are you and Zhou han prepared to have one? ”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li couldn’t answer. She could only smile and say, ” mom, why, why did you suddenly want to say this … her face blushed unnaturally.

Mother Lin smiled at Lin Li’s reaction. She looked at Lin Li suggestively and asked in a low voice, ” “You two didn’t use birth control, did you?”

Lin Li only felt that her face was a lot redder and hotter, and her whole person was as shy as if something. She turned her body to the side and turned her face away, somewhat unwilling and somewhat coquettishly saying, ” “Mom, what are you saying?”

“Hahaha.” Seeing her like this, mother Zhou laughed even more happily. She looked at Lin Li and said, ” look at you, still shy. Mom has been through this. What doesn’t mom know? ”

mom … Lin Li only felt that she should just dig a hole and bury herself.

“Hehe.” Seeing that she was so shy, mother Zhou stopped teasing her. She turned her body over, looked at her and said, ” you and Zhou han are both the only child. If you want to have another country, the policy will allow it. So, do you two have such plans? ”

Lin Li was still a little uncomfortable and couldn’t let go. She lowered her head slightly and said, ” “We, we don’t have any plans in this area for the time being.” Lin Li was actually very embarrassed. She and Zhou han didn’t have any plans for the time being. They might not even want it in the future. After all, it wasn’t a matter of time.

Speaking of this, mother Zhou’s mood seemed to be a little excited. She held Lin Li’s hand and chatted, ” you can make plans now. Starting next year, Xiao bin will be going to primary school. You and Zhou han will eventually have a child of your own.

Lin Li was a little speechless and could only laugh dryly.

The more mother Zhou spoke, the more excited she became. She held her hand and kept planning the scene of them having their own child in the future. She imagined that the house would become more lively because of the birth of the little baby.

While the two of them were immersed in their own thoughts and reverie, they did not realize that the little guy who had been sitting at the side with tired blocks in his hands was no longer tired. His big black eyes were staring at them, and his little mouth was tightly pursed.

When Lin Li saw Zhou han coming out of the study, it was as if Lin Li had seen her Savior. She stood up immediately. Zhou han, have you finished discussing with dad? ” As she said that, she walked towards Zhou han and held his arm in an intimate and natural manner.

Zhou han was stunned for a few seconds and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Lin Li’s back was facing mother Zhou as she tried to signal Zhou han with her eyes and mouthed the words ‘go home’.

Before Zhou han could understand and speak, mother Zhou was already one step ahead of Zhou han and said, ” ah han, you and Lin Li should stay here tonight. It’s late and it’s not convenient to drive back.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li shot him a look, wanting him to reject her. She was afraid that mother Zhou would continue to talk to her about having children.

He slowly retracted his gaze and looked past her towards his mother. He nodded and said,”Alright,” he said.

Lin Li thought he had misunderstood her and reached out to tug at his clothes.

Zhou han tilted his head and looked at her. The corners of his mouth moved slightly as he asked softly, ” “What were you talking about with mom? You’re having so much fun.”

Hearing this, mother Zhou was happy, but Lin Li’s face turned red again. She let go of his hand and quickly said, ” “I, I’m going to the toilet.” Then, she turned around and rushed to the bathroom.

Behind her, mother Zhou looked at her back as she ran away in a hurry. She laughed happily and said,”You’re so thin-skinned, and you’re even shy.”

“What are you shy about?” Zhou han asked curiously.

Mother Lin retracted her gaze and looked at him suggestively. Then, she knelt down to kiss her grandson on the cheek and said,”We were just saying that you should give birth to a younger brother or sister for Xiao bin so that he won’t be so lonely.”

Hearing this, Zhou han was stunned. He just smiled and didn’t say anything.

In the room, Lin Li was sitting on the bed, feeling a little depressed. She originally thought that after coming over for dinner, she would directly take the child back. That way, she wouldn’t be so awkward with Zhou han. However, she didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Staying here meant that she had to sleep in the same bed as Zhou han at night! How could she accept this!

When Zhou han returned to his room, Lin Li was still a little worried about how to sleep at night. When she saw him come in, she closed the door and asked, ” “Hey, why did you agree to stay? it’s not very late now.”

Zhou han looked at her and said, ” “I’m a little tired, so I don’t feel like driving home tonight.” As she spoke, she took out her old pajamas from the closet and went into the bathroom.

Lin Li pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, ” if you’re tired, I can drive.

However, since things had already come to this, Lin Li could only accept the reality. In order to avoid awkwardness, Lin Li took off her coat and lay on the bed while Zhou han was taking a shower.

Therefore, when Zhou han came out of the bathroom, he saw that Lin Li was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed and pretending to be asleep.

He didn’t intend to expose her. He was indeed a little tired today. He lifted the blanket and went to the other side of the bed. He turned on the light and lay down beside her.

After a while, Lin Li slowly opened her eyes, only to see the darkness in front of her. Just as she wanted to listen to Zhou Han’s breathing to see if it was stable, she heard him say, ” “Lin Li, let’s try to love each other.”
