Chapter 213: How Can You Call My Son A ‘Heavy Thing’! (Here Comes The Wen Family)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Zhide had always been a difficult man to handle. In the past, he had been heavily involved in gangs but had left the underworld and given it all up when he started his company. However, criminality was in his bones, so how could he simply turn over a new leaf?
The two men from last night were heads of their respective gangs in B City, and Zhao Zhide needed some help with some shady deals.
However, the two found that prostitutes were too low and ‘dirty’ for them, so they wanted to enjoy a decent, respectable woman who was ‘clean’. For some reason, they just liked the idea of doing dirty things to a decent woman. Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhide sneered to himself. ‘What right do both of you have to complain about women being dirty?’
Nevertheless, those two seldom such things that dishonored women, so Zhao Zhide could only accept their requests.
Despite this, he dared not randomly invite random women over as it would only complicate matters if the women were to stir up trouble later on and decide to look into the matter. Coincidentally, Zhu Hexuan showed up whilst he was in the midst of this headache, with the nuances of her word choice and tone making it clear that she was threatening him.
With that, Zhao Zhide was saved the trouble of looking for a victim and immediately set his sights on Zhu Hexuan.
He knew that the woman was somebody who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She was incredibly adaptable to her circumstances, which ultimately made her the perfect candidate.
Zhu Hexuan’s eyes widened in fear. “President Zhao, please let me go! I beg you, please just let me go!”
Zhao Zhide phoned his security impatiently to have them take her away.
Soon after, two guards arrived.
Zhu Hexuan was still on the ground and refusing to get up, so the two guards immediately dragged her away by the arms. As she was pulled away, her legs simply stretched out limply as she was dragged across the ground and out the room. It was truly an embarrassing sight.
“President Zhao! President Zhao!” Zhu Hexuan continued wailing.
Sadly, Zhao Zhide did not even bother to even glance at her. He stayed put as he began calculating Zhu Hexuan’s value and thinking about who he could pass her on to next.
…
At this moment, Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng had just arrived at the airport in T City. Since they had decided to only stay for one night, both of them had packed light with Yan Beicheng only carrying a carry-on duffel bag with him.
When the two of them walked into the arrival hall, there were tons of people standing outside waiting to pick up the newly arrived passengers.
Amongst the crowd, Lin Chu spotted a man and a woman with a small kid.
The man seemed to be around the same age as Yan Beicheng and had a clean crew cut hairstyle. Although it was not one of those trendy Korean hairstyles, he still looked handsome. Not everyone was able to pull off a crew cut, and it was certainly not the go-to haircut for good-looking guys who wanted to stand out. Furthermore, if a man was ordinary looking and relied on a good hairstyle to enhance his appearance, a crew cut was definitely not the way to go.
However, it looked great on this man. Not only did he look sharp and handsome, but there was also a certain ruggedness to his appearance. Although he was merely standing there quietly, his stance was extremely powerful, and judging by the impatient look on his face, he was most likely a stubborn and arrogant person as well.
He was the typical bad boy that every lady loved.
The petite lady standing beside him was the complete opposite of him. She was pretty and delicate with a certain aura of sweetness and vitality radiating from her. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, and when she noticed how impatient the man beside her was getting, she poked him gently.
After that, she said something to him, to which he simply rolled his eyes in response. Nevertheless, after this, his expression loosened up and he looked less impatient than before.
The woman was also carrying a small baby in her arms who was smiling happily and occasionally giggling to himself.
He would point his tiny fingers to the left and giggle, then to the right and giggle again.
Moments later, the man held out an Angry Bird plush toy that was about as big as his palm and shook it in front of the baby.
The baby’s attention was immediately drawn to the toy as his round eyes stared at it in awe. His tiny mouth hung opened wide as if shocked that there was another toy in the man’s hands. This was especially the case since they were outside now, so he was even happier to see a toy as he stretched out his small chubby hands to grab it.
To his surprise, the man evaded him just as the baby was about to grab the toy. He was not going to let the baby take it.
The baby instantly became anxious and frantically reached out to grab the toy once more, thinking that if he was fast enough, he would be able to snatch it away. It seemed that the baby understood that in the world of Kungfu, speed alone decided the winner.
The baby suddenly began wriggling out of his mother’s arms due to the newfound entertainment, and because of her petite size, she struggled to keep the chubby munchkin in her arms. The man swiftly reached one arm out and grabbed the baby from her, then handed the toy to the little baby with the other.
The baby immediately reached out to grab the toy before starting to chew on it.
When the man looked at his baby, his gaze turned soft and gentle, whilst the impatience that had darkened his face just moments ago disappeared.
It turns out that someone who appeared rugged and impatient would have his fair share of gentle moments too.
Suddenly, the man turned around and noticed the two of them. When he caught sight of them looking at him, he immediately frowned. Lin Chu felt extremely awkward as she thought that she had just been caught staring.
Lin Chu quickly realized that her actions might have seemed inappropriate. What if he thought she had a crush on him?
At first glance, they looked like a lovely family of three.
Then, before she even realized, Yan Beicheng had led her over to them.
Lin Chu was still in shock as the man with the crew cut furrowed his brows at Yan Beicheng and frowned while he continued bouncing his son in his arms. “I was going to take my son to Ocean Park today.”
No introduction was necessary as Lin Chu immediately realized that the man in front of her was Wen Ren. Therefore, it only made sense that the woman beside him was his wife, Fang Jiaran.
From the looks of the baby in Wen Ren’s arms, he seemed to be Wen Ren’s youngest son, Wen Ming.
Sure enough, when the infant saw the two strangers, he did not feel the least bit wary or uneasy. Instead, he broke out into a goofy, innocent smile as he stretched out his chubby arm that was holding the toy in the front of Lin Chu.
Lin Chu stared at it, her eyes fixed on the saliva that was still dripping off the bird’s beak.
As she watched the baby waving the grumpy-looking bird around, she could not help but realize the stark contrast between the baby’s silly smile and the stern expression of the bird.
“Pwee! Eh!” The little baby continued to wave the fiery red bird in his hands as he babbled nonsense that nobody understood.
‘Pretty girl, here! It’s for you to play with!’
“If Wen Ming wants to give you the toys that he likes, it means he likes you,” Fang Jiaran explained with a bright smile.
With that, Lin Chu happily returned the smile and accepted the toy, despite it being covered with saliva.
The little baby immediately broke into a huge grin and began to struggle out of Wen Ren’s arms as if eager to bury his round, tiny head into Lin Chu’s arms.
“…” Embarrassed by her son’s actions, he frowned slightly. How could she have given birth to such a little terror?
Yan Beicheng quickly pulled Lin Chu behind him and stood in between her and Lil Wen Ming.
“This is Wen Ren, Fang Jiaran, and their youngest son, Wen Ming,” Yan Beicheng introduced both parties.
Lin Chu smiled and greeted them.
Lil Wen Ming, who had suddenly been neglected by everyone, began to cry in Fang Jiaran’s arms. He waved his small arms frantically but since his arms were still very short, he could not even reach Yan Beicheng. However, judging by the looks of it, it was clear that he was trying to pull Yan Beicheng aside.
‘Waa—— Waa—— I’ll hit you! Stop blocking my beautiful view!’
Lin Chu wanted to see Wen Ming too. She thought he was an adorable baby who looked extremely delicate, as though he had been carved out of jade.
She pulled Yan Beicheng aside and Lil Wen Ming’s tiny head immediately turned toward her.
Lin Chu did not understand what he meant, so she sheepishly turned to Fang Jiaran in confusion.
Thus, Fang Jiaran had no choice but to explain awkwardly, “That means he wants you to touch him.”
Sure enough, Lil Wen Ming blinked rapidly at the sound of his mother’s words and cried out loud as if he was urging her to comply. He stretched out his tiny arms once again with the intention of grabbing onto Lin Chu’s hands.
Lin Chu smiled in response and reached over to rub his tiny, round head. However, his hair was velvety soft so Lin Chu dared not stroke him too hard as she thought him extremely delicate.
Lil Wen Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled in content. He even began to nudge his head against Lin Chu’s palm like a kitten such that Lin Chu could not stop. Whenever she tried to move away, he would arch himself against her even more and let out a cry of protest.
Yan Beicheng, “…”
“Alright, that’s enough,” Yan Beicheng said through gritted teeth. Their own children had yet to receive this treatment, so who was this brat to indulge in it first?
Fang Jiaran reached out and stroked her son’s small, round head. “Come on, let’s go home first alright? The pretty aunty’s coming with us too,” she said softly.
Lil Wen Ming blinked as if he understood what his mother had just said. He grinned widely at his mother while pointing at Lin Chu, then reached used his own hand to stroke his head. The look on his face was incredibly adorable as he smiled so widely that his eyes narrowed with joy.
“…” Speechless at his son’s behavior, Fang Jiaran could only nod and comply with his son’s request. “Yes yes yes, she’ll continue stroking your head when we get home.”
With that, Lil Wen Ming patted Wen Ren’s arm, as if to prompt him to hurry home.
Yan Beicheng, “…”
What was wrong with this kid!?
Since they were quite a few of them, Wen Ren had asked his security detail to drive the extended Bentley so that everyone could gather around and chat.
Even though Wen Ren appeared annoyed and agitated, he was secretly happy that he had company over.
He was often busy with his duties and tasks at the Lanshan Institution. No matter what, he was still the head of the Wen family so he could not always spend his time mingling around with the people below him. He still had to maintain a certain reputation.
Besides, ever since he had gotten married and had kids, he had not really had the chance to cut loose and enjoy himself. Xiao Yunqing and the others had their own families too, so they did not have much time for him either.
This was a rare occasion whereby Yan Beicheng had brought his wife over, so he finally had a companion to mess around with. Because of this, he was secretly happy.
However, he refused to show it as he did not want Yan Beicheng to get the satisfaction of knowing this.
When they got into the car, Lin Chu and Fang Jiaran sat next to each other.
Lil Wen Ming, who was seated on Fang Jiaran’s lap, immediately began to wriggle around. With one tiny hand pressed against Fang Jiaran’s legs to support himself, he eagerly nudged his way toward Lin Chu.
Unfortunately, Fang Jiaran had a tight grip around his chubby waist and thus had locked him in her arms. With that, Baby Wenming was left wriggling around excitedly without moving anywhere nearer.
“Pweety! Pweety!” He started calling out. ‘Pretty aunty, I’m here!’
As she watched his frenzied demeanor, Lin Chu did not need Fang Jiaran to translate for her. “He wants to sit on my lap, doesn’t he?” She asked Fang Jiaran with a gentle smile.
Fang Jiaran nodded embarrassedly before gently smacking Lil Wen Ming on the butt. “He’s always loved beautiful people and objects since he was born. God knows whose gene he inherited! Ever since he first opened his eyes, he’d fall in love with anything sparkly or valuable. I don’t even dare wear jewelry nowadays because I’m worried that he’ll grab it. Once, I attended a dinner with Wen Ren and I wore a pair of shiny dangling earrings. That night, he almost tore my ears off along with the earrings.”
Lin Chu laughed when she heard this. As she reached out to play with Lil Wen Ming, he grabbed her finger and held onto it tightly. A huge smile spread across his face as he began to inspect her beautiful finger whilst giggling to himself. As he did this, Lin Chu could see his four tiny teeth on the top side of his mouth peeking out.
Fang Jiaran suddenly thought of something and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. “You know how Wei Ziqi looks, right? He’s even more delicate than most women. Once, when he came to visit us, Wen Ming saw him and crawled over before bravely grabbing his leg. After this, he just wouldn’t let go! Luckily for him, he still couldn’t speak at all at the time, otherwise, I can’t even imagine how Wei Ziqi would have reacted if he called him pretty!” She whispered to Lin Chu.
Then, she poked Lil Wen Ming’s lotus-like arm. “How can he be so daring!”
Lin Chu could already imagine Wei Ziqi’s expression at that moment.
This time around, Lil Wen Ming, who had up until now been extremely intelligent, seemed to be unable to understand what his mother was saying. He continued smiling innocently as he stretched out his arms toward Lin Chu. “Pweety! Pweety!”
‘Pretty aunty, please hold me!’
“Are you trying to ask me to hold you?” Lin Chu asked Lil Wen Ming with a soft laugh.
Lil Wen Ming nodded urgently. “Oh! Oh!”
‘Hold me! Hold me!’
Lin Chu smiled. However, just as she reached out to pick up the baby, Yan Beicheng sharply said, “You’re not supposed to be carrying heavy things.”
Wen Ren’s eyebrows immediately flared as he retorted, “How can you call my son a ‘heavy thing’!”
Yan Beicheng was unbothered by Wen Ren’s refute as the thoughtful Fang Jiaran quickly grasped the meaning behind Yan Beicheng’s words.
“Oh my, is Lin Chu pregnant?” Fang Jiaran asked excitedly.
Although Fang Jiaran was slightly bothered by how Yan Beicheng had referred to his son as a ‘thing’, she could not deny that her son did sometimes come on a bit strong.
However, this was not the time to focus on such an issue. Yan Beicheng looked at her with a face that said ‘well, since you asked…’ Fang Jiaran instantly regretted asking him this question when she saw his proud and satisfied smile.
However, it was too late to change the topic and ignore him. The corner of Yan Beicheng’s mouth twitched as he tried to hide the smile spreading across his face. “She’s almost two months in. We planned to only announce it after three months, but after what had just happened, I guess we had no choice but to tell you.”
Fang Jiaran smiled nervously. “Oh, haha…”
Wen Ren snorted and tilted his head upward. “It’s not like I’ve never had children before.”
Then, he pointed his thumb at himself and proudly continued, “I have two! Two sons!”
Yan Beicheng arched his eyebrow at him and asked with a sarcastic smile, “Oh, so you gave birth to them?”
“…” Wen Ren felt that the whole group of men from B City were savage and mean – each of them was always so treacherous and calculative. “I provided the sperm!”
Fang Jiaran, “…”
‘Provided your ass!’
After Yan Beicheng spoke up, Fang Jiaran dared not let Lin Chu hold onto Lil Wen Ming anymore.
Although she did not necessarily have to be this careful, it was always best to take precautions. What if something went wrong? She would be the one at fault if an accident were to happen.
However, Lil Wen Ming was not about to give up that easily. He stood up and started stepping on Fang Jiaran’s lap as he stretched out his arm toward Lin Chu.
Lil Wen Ming thought that his mother was very beautiful. However, he got to see her every day, so he could get a hug or a kiss from her whenever he wanted.
He did not get to see other beautiful girls every day, now did he? Hence, he had to seize the rare opportunity presented to him!
“Why not just put him on my lap?” Lin Chu suggested. She could not bear to see Lil Wen Ming moving around so restlessly.
Since Lin Chu had asked for it, Yan Beicheng did not object.
“I’ll let aunty hold you, but you have to be good and not move around too much, okay? Aunty has a little baby in her stomach so if you move around, you’ll hurt it,” Fang Jiaran said to Lil Wen Ming.
Lil Wen Ming seemed to understand his mother’s instructions as he immediately stopped squirming about. Before his mother picked him up, he obediently sat down with his huge eyes eagerly fixed on Lin Chu.
Lin Chu’s heart melted at how adorable the baby was. There was nothing in the world that she would not do to make him happy.
Seeing that her son had finally quietened down, Fang Jiaran carried Lil Wen Ming and placed him onto Lin Chu’s lap. The baby was so tiny and delicate that Lin Chu naturally became protective of him.
Upon seeing how anxious Lin Chu was, Fang Jiaran laughed softly. “Don’t be so nervous, he’s quite a sturdy boy.”
At this moment, a sweet smile spread across Lil Wen Ming’s face, almost as if to support his mother’s statement. Then, he stretched out his chubby arms and carefully placed them on Lin Chu’s stomach.
‘Oh, baby? Where is it?’
His little head bobbed around as he looked everywhere, then he tugged softly at the part of Lin Chu’s shirt that was covering her stomach. There was no sign of a baby anywhere.
“Ah! Ah-ooh!” Lil Wen Ming shook his head as he pointed at Lin Chu’s stomach.
‘There’s no baby!’
Fang Jiaran began to explain patiently, “The baby in aunty’s stomach has not started growing properly yet, but once the baby starts to grow up, aunty’s stomach will start growing bigger as well. Back then you were this big, so mommy’s stomach was this big too!”
As she said this, she simultaneously gestured at her stomach and then at the air to indicate the sizes.
No one knew if Lil Wen Ming understood what his mother was saying, but the little boy continued to grin to himself before happily settling himself onto Lin Chu’s lap and snuggling into her arms. He pulled himself closer to her, then continued to mumble to himself, “Pweety! Pweety!”
Yan Beicheng could literally hear the clear, crisp sound of something snapping in his head.
He frowned as he stared at the little pervert who was currently taking advantage of Lin Chu. Then, he gently grabbed Lil Wen Ming by his collar and handed him over to Wen Ren.
“Who is your son eyeing so pleasingly?” Yan Beicheng asked in an annoyed tone.
Innocent Lil Wen Ming was unbothered by Yan Beicheng’s frustration though. After all, he was now in his father’s arms and knew that nobody dared to bully him anymore. Thus, he enthusiastically stretched out his arms and tried to push himself back into Lin Chu’s arms once more.
Wen Ren’s eyes twitched as he glared at the child. “Can you just stop it for a while?”
Wen Ren cast a helpless glance at Fang Jiaran and asked, “Is he like this because you read so many of those erotic comics when you were pregnant with him?”
Fang Jiaran instantly bristled with anger. They had company now! How could he bring such a private topic up in front of others? This man had a high IQ, but it was balanced out by an extremely low EQ. After several years of marriage, he had become lazy to the point that he no longer bothered to use his brain to think anymore. This was the reason why he was getting more and more unruly.
Fang Jiaran kicked Wen Ren in the shin, and it was not those gentle, playful kicks that Lin Chu always gave Yan Beicheng.
Fang Jiaran really kicked him hard. In any case, she knew that her husband was strong enough to withstand it.
“Hey, we already have two kids! What did you kick me for?” Wen Ren glared at his wife, but although his expression was fierce, he stayed put in his seat.
He was merely making an empty show of strength.
“You just accused me of something I didn’t do!” Fang Jiaran said as her face instantly turned bright red.
This was her first time meeting Lin Chu too. Could he not at least give her a good impression of his wife?
If it was someone who she had known for a long time, they would eventually find out about this little hobby of hers. However, she had only just met Lin Chu! What if Lin Chu felt that she was a vulgar and indecent woman?
She was most certainly a very decent and honest woman!
“I never lie!” Wen Ren placed Lil Wen Ming into Yan Beicheng’s arms as he straightened his back to make himself look larger.
Surprisingly, Lil Wen Ming was unaffected as his parents began bickering.
After all, he saw this on a daily basis. As he sat comfortably in Yan Beicheng’s arms, he began to suck on his toes, and after a while, he clapped his hands happily to show his support for his parents as they continued squabbling.
