Ch.293 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (1)

Zhong Qin and Gu Tong knew how much Xin Siyue wanted a child. Therefore, when they heard that she was pregnant, the two were excited for her. They made plans to visit Xin Siyue at the Chen Family.

It was rare for everyone to meet up. They were all happy, and had a harmonious conversation. But within twenty minutes, Zhuang Zhao came in carrying presents.

Zhuang Zhao took a look at Zhong Qin first after he came in.

Zhong Qin kept her head and drank tea instead. She even shifted her body a bit, avoiding his gaze.

Zhuang Zhao wasn’t annoyed either. He smiled as he delivered the gift to Chen Sinan while walking to Xin Siyue. “Sister-in-law! Congratulations! I’m waiting to play with your chubby child.”

“Play with you? I think rather not! My child will be badly influenced by you.” Zhong Qin exclaimed eccentrically. She felt the atmosphere tensing up and then she realized she had spoken too much.

“Sorry, I spoke too much.” She said awkwardly.

Xin Siyue smiled and hurriedly mediated, saying to Zhuang Zhao, “Don’t stand there. Sit.”

Zhuang Zhao glanced at the seating. Xin Siyue sat with Chen Sinan. Gu Tong sat on the left side of Zhong Qin. There was an empty seat on the right side but there wasn’t much space on the three person sofa.

Zhuang Zhao didn’t sit on the single sofa, but rather squeezed next to Zhong Qin.

Gu Tong was shocked by this. Only she seemed to be unfamiliar with the situation.

“Move out of my way!” Zhong Qin said.

“Why? This is my friend’s house!”

“If you don’t go, I’ll go!” As Zhong Qin said this, she wanted to stand up but Zhuang Zhao stopped her.

“Cough cough!” Chen Sinan then said, “Pay attention. My wife is here!”

Zhuang Zhao looked at Chen Sinan and compromised in the end, hurriedly sitting in another seat.

Zhong Qin sat down, not wanting to look at him in the least bit.

After Gu Tong witnessed this, she gave Xin Siyue a look. The latter nodded, surprising Gu Tong. But she quickly recovered.

Zhuang Zhao was probably interested in Zhong Qin since the first time they met at the wedding.

Zhuang Zhao couldn’t do anything much since they were all together. But his gaze swept to Zhong Qin from time to time.

It was clear that Zhong Qin was really unhappy later on. Xin Siyue invited the two to the study upstairs, so they could chat.

After the three went upstairs, Zhuang Zhao complained, “A-Nan, why isn’t my sister-in-law helping me?”

Chen Sinan elegantly sipped on the tea, retorting, “Why should she help you?”

“Hey, are you still my buddy or not?”

Chen Sinan replied, “I’m only letting you sit here because we’re friends. Have you heard of the saying that impatience brings you nowhere?”

“Yes.”

“Then have you fished before?”

“Haven’t I fished with you in the past?” Zhuang Zhao didn’t know where Chen Sinan was going with this.

“But you learned no tricks.” Chen Sinan said in disdain, “Listen. I’m only saying this once. You have to be patient enough when you set the bait in order to catch a huge and delicious fish. Seeking instant benefit is not the way to go. You should learn from me. Recall how many years I’ve waited for my wife for.”

Zhuang Zhao was silent.

Chen Sinan patiently added for once, “You already started to paw with her when she is repulsive of you. Can’t you learn to be a gentleman? If you were pursuing a woman in the bar, then the other party probably wants your hands on them. But is she the same as the women in the bar? You need to think clearly.”

Zhang Zhao thought solemnly about it before nodding seriously. “I understand.”

Chen Sinan asked again, “Are you being serious?”

“Yes, I’m serious.”

“Your family won’t disagree?”

“They probably would go and thank Zhong Qin for capturing my heart and making me settle down. Don’t worry. Background and whatnot are worth nothing in my family! My parents should be laughing in secret that Zhong Qin is willing to be with someone as bad as me.”

Chen Sinan laughed. “Then I hope you succeed soon.”

“Of course!”

However, Zhuang Zhao ended up waiting patiently for two years.
