Chapter 151 Becoming a Father
Sheng Lan's injuries have almost healed, but Wang Wenzhou is still very worried, so he keeps her from going out and wants her to rest at home.
That morning, Wang Wenzhou and Sheng Lan were having breakfast.
Zhang Jiao led a child to the Drunken Flower Pavilion.
The child was Jiang Peiya's son, Jiang Xuyang. Jiang Peiya sacrificed his life to save Wang Wenzhou. On the day of the riot, Jiang Xuyang went to the government office on his own.
Wang Wenzhou's mother, Yang, was very fond of Jiang Xuyang, especially since he was the son of her benefactor. Therefore, Yang also intended for Wang Wenzhou to adopt Jiang Peiya. However, Wang Wenzhou had been busy these past few days and hadn't gone to the government office. So, Yang sent Zhang Jiao to bring Jiang Xuyang to find Wang Wenzhou.
Zhang Jiao pointed at Wang Wenzhou and said to Jiang Xuyang, "Go find your father quickly."
Jiang Xuyang is eight years old this year. He has a bit of baby fat, and his little face is chubby and very cute. He blinks his bright big eyes, looks at Wang Wenzhou, and then, as if he has made up his mind, pounces on Wang Wenzhou.
"father!"
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou's milk sprayed out. Damn it, how did I become a father again?
Wang Wenzhou looked up and saw Jiang Xuyang, then remembered who he was.
"Have you eaten?" Wang Wenzhou patted Jiang Xuyang's head.
"Father, I have eaten." Jiang Xuyang's father, Jiang Peiya, was a scholar with the title of Xiucai (a degree in the imperial examination system). He had raised his son to be very polite and poised. This was also why Madam Yang liked Jiang Xuyang very much.
“Son, I was in such a rush that day, I didn’t even know your name,” Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.
"Your son, Jiang Xuyang, greets Father." Jiang Xuyang immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Wang Wenzhou helped him up and said with a smile, "Little Yangyang, you don't need to be so polite with me in the future." Wang Wenzhou pointed at Sheng Lan and said, "This is your mother, quickly call her Mother."
"Your son greets Mother," Jiang Xuyang said respectfully.
Sheng Lan recognized Jiang Xuyang as the child who had caused trouble at her wedding. But when did the adults adopt him as their godson?
Although Sheng Lan was strange, she always centered her attention around Wang Wenzhou. Whatever Wang Wenzhou did, she would only approve and never oppose.
Sheng Lan touched Jiang Xuyang's little face and said with a smile, "Xuyang is so cute."
Wang Wenzhou leaned close to Sheng Lan's ear and told her about Jiang Peiya risking his life to save her.
Sheng Lan was deeply moved after hearing this. She affectionately pulled Jiang Xuyang onto her lap and said with a smile, "Xuyang, have some more milk. Your father said that milk is nutritious, and a glass of milk every day can strengthen a nation."
Wang Wenzhou's expression changed in surprise, and he quickly said, "Xiao Yangyang, come down quickly. Your mother's injury hasn't healed yet. Don't touch your mother's wound."
Zhang Jiao pouted and stood at the door, watching the warm family of three from afar, tears welling up in her eyes.
On the day of the riot, Wang Wenzhou ordered Zhang Jiao to escape alone. In reality, Wang Wenzhou had no intention of sacrificing himself to save Zhang Jiao; he was only concerned with maximizing his own interests. Zhang Jiao, however, believed that Wang Wenzhou had risked his life to save her. Therefore, she gradually developed feelings for him. Last night, she secretly went to ask Liu Rushi for advice on how a girl could make a man like her.
Liu Rushi smiled faintly and taught Zhang Jiao how to do makeup and choose clothes.
Today, Zhang Jiao specially wore a dress, which was the first time she had worn a dress since she grew up.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao was dressed in a jade-green blouse, a pleated skirt with scattered floral patterns and misty green grass, and a light emerald-green gauze shawl. Her shoulders were like those of a sculpted woman, her waist slender and graceful, her skin like solidified cream, and her fragrance like a delicate orchid. She had the appearance of a refined lady, the only slightly incongruous thing being that her sleeves were rolled up to her arms like a tomboy.
Wang Wenzhou poured a bowl of milk, handed it to Jiang Xuyang, and said, "Little Yangyang, drink up, your mother's milk is very fragrant."
"How annoying!" Sheng Lan scolded softly. The adults were too unserious. How could they say such things in front of the children?
Sheng Lan turned around and noticed Zhang Jiao. She quickly said, "Sister Zhang Jiao, you're here too. Come on, let's have something to eat."
"Pfft!" Wang Wenzhou looked up at Zhang Jiao and spat out the milk in his mouth again.
Zhang Jiao looked at Wang Wenzhou, her eyes red-rimmed, feeling incredibly wronged. Was he really that ugly? Miss Liu had said that in that dress, he would definitely charm a lot of men. Why was this fatso reacting like this?
"Cough cough..." Wang Wenzhou coughed repeatedly as he tried to grab the food.
Zhang Jiao frowned deeply. "What do you mean by this, you fatso?"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, clutching his chest. "Jiaojiao, did you forget to take your medicine today?"
"You fatso! You..." Zhang Jiao was instantly enraged. Miss Liu said a woman dresses up for the one she loves, and she was dressed so beautifully today; it took her over an hour to get ready. She thought you, fatso, would find it attractive, but... you actually said she was sick!
Zhang Jiao stormed up to Wang Wenzhou and slapped him.
Damn it! Wang Wenzhou smiled bitterly to himself. This little crazy girl has gone mad again!
Zhang Jiao hadn't hit Wang Wenzhou in a long time, and this time, she was truly furious. But just as her hand was about to slap Wang Wenzhou's face, she stopped.
The scene of Zhang Jiao asking Liu Rushi for advice flashed through her mind.
Liu Rushi said calmly: Different men like different girls. For example, that fat guy likes a girl like Sheng Lan, who is gentle and virtuous. So you shouldn't always be so fierce; you need to learn to be tender and gentle.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao quickly withdrew her hand and asked sweetly, "Wang Wenzhou, do I look pretty in this dress?"
Nani?
Wang Wenzhou was almost speechless with shock. He looked Zhang Jiao up and down and suddenly realized, could it be that this crazy girl has fallen in love with him?
Wang Wenzhou stood up, put his hand on Zhang Jiao's shoulder, put his arm around her, and said with a grin, "Jiaojiao, you know what? I used to hate you, but ever since we went through life and death together, I've started to treat you like a brother!"
"Cough, cough..." Sheng Lan coughed repeatedly, choking on her saliva. She gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look. "My lord, Zhang Jiao is also your concubine. How can you mock her like this?"
Zhang Jiao, being rather imaginative, didn't immediately grasp Wang Wenzhou's meaning. She simply felt incredibly shy, her face turning red to her neck. Although Wang Wenzhou had often teased her before, the situation was completely different then.
Wang Wenzhou suppressed a laugh and continued, "Jiaojiao, this is your fault! I treat you like a brother, and you actually wanted to sleep with me! That's too much!"
"You fatso!" Zhang Jiao roared, shoving Wang Wenzhou aside. She instantly raised her foot to her shoulder and kicked Wang Wenzhou in the face.
Wang Wenzhou was about to dodge, but Zhang Jiao pulled her leg back.
Zhang Jiao stomped her foot, turned around and ran away, wiping away tears of grievance as she ran.
"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed softly and complained, "Wang Wenzhou, Zhang Jiao is also your concubine. How could you treat her like this?"
Wang Wenzhou smiled wryly and pouted, saying aggrievedly, "How was I supposed to know that this crazy girl would fall in love with me? I'm still completely clueless!"
Sheng Lan smiled bitterly to herself. Adults are already quite amorous, and with such outstanding qualities, there will probably be no shortage of sisters in the family in the future.
