Chapter 223 Milk Ball Baton

"Sure. If I'm free." Ji Ning's words were very skillful and flawless.

Xue Zhen nodded, and then left with her parents, looking back every few steps as she walked, showing great reluctance to leave.

She has no friends like Ji Ning around her, and her circle is full of young ladies like her. They have attended girls' schools since childhood and are all from well-off families who are well-disciplined by their families.

Ji Ning had a good impression of Xue Zhen. She seemed like a spoiled young lady, but she was a little different from Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian is the type who gallops on a horse, looks heroic and has her own opinions, but Xue Zhen is just the opposite. She is a good girl who asks her parents' opinions on everything and does whatever her parents say.

In the car——

Xue's mother asked anxiously, "Zhen'er, what do you think of Zhou Jingmo?"

"Ah? Oh." Xue Zhen just took a quick look and thought the man looked very impressive and must be the type that girls would like.

But he was not her type, she always felt that the man looked too cold.

She likes warm weather where it's spring all year round.

And you need to have an active mind, be able to find topics to talk about and make her happy, after all, she is a quiet person.

But she didn't dare to disobey her parents, so she just bit her lip and nodded weakly, "Not bad."

"What do you mean okay?" Father Xue was furious when he heard this. "You have to keep a close eye on him. I know a lot of people in Yuecheng are watching him. They are planning to find a way to get into that position as soon as Mr. Zhou gets divorced. So you have to leave a good impression on him from now on."

Xue Zhen felt as if a heavy hammer had been pressed down on her heart for a long time. She mustered up her courage and whispered, "But isn't this just being the third party?"

"The third party? Don't put it so harshly. Are you dating him? It's just to let him get to know you better."

"Besides, we are not the only one in Yuecheng who does this. Look at the way the daughters of those families look today. They are eager to get close to Mr. Zhou. Even if he gets married for the second time and has a child, he will still be a rich bachelor with a promising future. Before he got married, no one dared to do this to him because they thought he was difficult to get along with. Now he has followed his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and he has a child, which proves that he is easy to get along with, and there is nothing wrong with him in other aspects."

Xue Zhen whispered again, "What if he never gets divorced?"

Father Xue frowned at her and said in a heavier tone, "What's wrong with you today?"

In the past, Xue Zhen would just nod silently and remain silent no matter what they said.

How many times has the question been raised today?

Xue's mother was also very angry, "I think you have been brainwashed by that Mrs. Zhou?"

“No…I didn’t.”

Xue's father looked very disappointed. "Look at this child. You've spoiled him."

Seeing her aggrieved face, Xue's mother felt distressed again. She put her palm on the back of her hand, gently stroking it, and advised earnestly, "Men in this circle will weigh the pros and cons. Look, when I saw that girl today, she has no business acumen and only cares about small favors. Our family ranks third in Yuecheng and has strong financial resources. Anyone who is not a fool will know how to choose."

Father Xue was very confident, "We didn't hold you back."

He pointed at Xue Zhen and said, "You, on the other hand, should be more careful. I know that the youngest of the Ning family, who is ranked fourth, and the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, who is ranked fifth, are both waiting for this piece of Tang Monk meat. But they are not as good as you, so you must not let anyone take advantage of you."

However, Father Xue was a little relieved. With so many people watching him today, he didn't have the chance to sit with Zhou Jingmo. Instead, their daughter was smart and knew how to build a good relationship with Mrs. Zhou.

…………

After returning home, Ji Ning approached Zhou Jingmo, sniffed the cool fragrance on his body, leaned close to his little face, and joked with a smile, "Zhou Jingmo, why do I feel like they are looking at you like Tang Monk's flesh today?"

Zhou Jingmo looked helpless, "I seldom attend such occasions. I only went because you said you wanted to buy some calligraphy and paintings."

As he spoke, he pinched her soft and elastic little face and said, "Ningning, don't burn your bridges after crossing them."

"Besides, I didn't get anything, but you..."

Seeing him getting angry, the man's eyes drooped, with a bit of grievance. Ji Ning spread her hands and immediately softened her heart, "Okay, okay, it's my problem."

I originally thought she was a dramatic actress, and I don't know if Mr. Zhou was influenced by her. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Now he has started to use her tricks to deal with her.

Late at night, I heard a child crying.

Zhou Jingmo immediately stood up, gently picked up the child and coaxed him to sleep.

In order to foster a close relationship between parents and children, Ji Ning occasionally brought the two children to sleep in the room, but Zhou Jingmo didn't want the children's crying to disturb her.

If she cried in the middle of the night, I would solve the problem myself and not let her interfere at all.

However, Ji Ning couldn't intervene even if she wanted to, because her sleep quality was too good, and she would be in deep sleep once she fell asleep. Zhou Jingmo was a light sleeper, and he would wake up at the slightest movement.

At this moment, Zhou Jingmo was wearing casual cotton pajamas. He looked a little tired, but his facial features were still incomparably handsome. The pajamas made his shoulders look broad and his legs long, giving him a full sense of being a husband. He no longer looked like a domineering CEO during the day.

Holding one in each hand, the children felt safe and stopped crying. They looked at him with their wide open watery eyes.

Tongtong rubbed his eyes and walked out, "Uncle..."

"Ah."

Zhou Jingmo's eyes were as calm as water, yet with a hint of tenderness.

Tongtong saw him holding one in each hand, so he took the initiative to reach out, "Uncle, let me hold one too."

Zhou Jingmo handed Manman to her. Tongtong carefully took her brother over, like a little adult. Her little face immediately wrinkled, her lips pursed, and she was in a state of high alert.

But she learned things quickly. Recalling the way Zhou Jingmo held the child just now, she immediately rocked the little person in her arms, and the little person soon closed his eyes.

Coaxed her to sleep successfully!

Tongtong was surprised and happy and wanted to laugh. Seeing that her uncle was still frowning, she knew that he had not succeeded yet and was about to put her brother into the cradle carefully.

Suddenly, "Shua——" the child who had his eyes closed immediately opened his eyes.

Tongtong: "..."

At that moment, I almost had the urge to abandon my brother.

There is no choice but to start over.

Later, Zhou Zhixi came out yawning, and saw Tongtong holding her brother to sleep. She also found it very interesting. After watching for a while, she said to Tongtong, "Tongtong, you go to sleep, I'll do it."

Tongtong nodded, and quickly stuffed the food into Zhou Zhixi's hands as if throwing a hot potato.

Zhou Zhixi: “…”

Doesn’t she like Manman very much? Why is she so decisive?
