Because Zhan Bei Jue felt guilty about the accidental injury from that kick, he didn't retort when Jiang Nan Fang provoked him like a fool.
The two chatted for a while longer, then held each other and caught up on sleep.
They slept until dark.
Ah Cheng brought the children back. They ran to their room, and only then did the couple get up.
After dinner, they read with the children for a while, played games, and then coaxed them to sleep.
Lying in bed, they stared at the ceiling, no longer sleepy.
Jiang Nan Fang also began to worry about the children.
"What should we do? Their biological clocks are messed up. It's not good for their development."
"Lie down and count sheep. I'll pat you to sleep."
Jiang Nan Fang felt like she wasn't a pregnant woman anymore, but had suddenly turned into a big baby within a day.
If this continued, she would be spoiled rotten by Zhan Bei Jue.
"You spoil me like this every day. When the child is born and doesn't get this treatment, I won't be able to handle it. What if I experience a psychological drop?"
Zhan Bei Jue: "That's easy. To please me, continue living like this, keep getting pregnant, and keep giving birth. I'll always spoil you."
"So, I only get this treatment when I'm pregnant?"
"If I treated you like this when you weren't pregnant, wouldn't you be unable to handle it?"
"You, Zhan Bei Jue!"
Jiang Nan Fang threw a punch at him, "I don't want to sleep with you anymore! You get out!"
Zhan Bei Jue took two hits, then smiled and held her fist.
"How could that be? You are my darling. If I want to spoil you, I'll spoil you all the time. How can I spoil you for two days and then stop?"
"If you really like it, we'll live like this every day for the rest of our lives. I definitely won't let you have any regrets."
Jiang Nan Fang stared at him, looking him up and down as if she didn't believe him.
"No, I have to take you to the hospital tomorrow. Your mouth is so slick, are you sure you're Zhan Bei Jue?"
Zhan Bei Jue felt wronged and buried his head in her hair.
"Look at you, if I'm serious, you say I'm fierce, a scumbag, and that I treat you badly. If I'm gentle, you say I'm glib. It's so hard to be your man."
As they were bantering back and forth, Zhan Bei Jue's phone rang.
He grabbed it and saw it was Lu Ming Zhe.
It was so late; there must be trouble.
But Zhan Bei Jue still answered.
He placed the phone between them and turned on the speakerphone. Lu Ming Zhe's smug voice came through.
"Old Zhan, what are you doing?"
"It's so late, what else can I be doing but sleeping?"
"There are many things you can do while sleeping. Stop pretending to be a decent person. What is your wife doing?"
If Lu Ming Zhe were present, Zhan Bei Jue would have kicked him for teasing Jiang Nan Fang like that.
"Where did you go to drink cat urine? You've had too much and can't find your way, daring to joke about my wife? What do you want?"
"Who's joking about your wife? Although she is indeed beautiful, you're the only one who treats her like a treasure. I'm not interested!"
Jiang Nan Fang frowned and was about to retort.
Zhan Bei Jue held her mouth shut.
"If you dare to be interested, I'll gouge your eyeballs out. Speak, what's the matter? I won't accompany you if you're just drunk and crazy."
"Who's drunk and crazy with you? I didn't drink much today. I have good news to tell you."
Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but scoff.
"What good news can you possibly have for me? The best news I ever heard from you was that you married Chen Jiao Jiao, and what happened?"
Lu Ming Zhe clicked his tongue.
"Can you stop mentioning Chen Jiao Jiao? You're bringing up the most sensitive topic. There are so many women in the world, so many excellent women besides her. Am I going to die without her?"
"Fine. What do you want to say? Get to the point. I don't have time to chat nonsense with you."
"We've only said a few words, and you're already impatient, pretending to be sleeping properly... After so many years as husband and wife, you're still eager to be intimate. Don't you find it tiresome?"
Not a single serious word was spoken. Zhan Bei Jue couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"If you don't say it, fine, I'm hanging up."
Lu Ming Zhe quickly stopped him.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't hang up. I really have something serious to tell you."
"I'll give you one last chance."
He said meaningfully on the other end of the phone.
"Old Zhan, do you know how envious I was of you before? Such a beautiful son and daughter, so adorable."
"But starting today, I'm not envious of you anymore. I have my own now."
Rarely, Zhan Bei Jue sensed a hint of gossip.
"Listening to you, what's up? Is Chen Jiao Jiao pregnant?"
"Tsk! I told you not to mention Chen Jiao Jiao. Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Then where did this come from? Your wife isn't pregnant, and you say you have a child? Are you keeping a mistress?"
"Don't use those words, it sounds unpleasant. What we have is mutual affection, a natural progression."
"You kept it well hidden. You never mentioned anyone else before. You were still pretending to be a devoted lover to Chen Jiao Jiao in front of me. You're something else."
Jiang Nan Fang couldn't help but interject.
"As expected, no man is good."
Zhan Bei Jue's smile disappeared, "If you're talking about Lu Ming Zhe, fine. Why are you scolding me?"
"You're not exactly good either."
Lu Ming Zhe heard the sound of them showing affection from the other end.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't flirt in front of me. I haven't finished speaking. I'm not here to listen to you show off your love. Let me speak!"
He forcefully pulled the conversation back.
"It's like this, you all know that Chen Jiao Jiao's father just had some trouble, and she's in a bad mood. Plus my parents..."
"In short, the divorce isn't finalized yet, but I have a child."
"I'm serious this time. I'm definitely going to divorce Chen Jiao Jiao..."
Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but interrupt him again.
"Get to the point. What does this have to do with me?"
"Can you let me finish speaking?"
"Brother, get to the point."
Lu Ming Zhe thought for a moment and sighed.
"She's very sensible. I feel like she's been wronged in this matter. So, even though the divorce isn't finalized, I want to give her a title in advance."
"Chen Jiao Jiao and I have already agreed to finalize the procedures in a month. She just got pregnant, and I want to make her happy."
"How about this? Tomorrow I'll arrange a gathering, and all of you come. Introduce her to my circle, which is also a form of recognition. Give me some face."
In their circle, there were often women accompanying them for business or leisure.
But the number of women who could be formally introduced to brothers and friends was very few.
Zhan Bei Jue had known Lu Ming Zhe for so many years, and he only knew that Lu Ming Zhe had one in college.
It seemed that this time he was really serious.
From a man's perspective, Zhan Bei Jue immediately agreed.
"Does Chen Jiao Jiao know about this?"
"Does it matter if she knows? She didn't care about me when she was with Hu Jia Sheng! Anyway, from now on, my affairs have nothing to do with her. You just need to come."
As a woman, and especially a friend of Chen Jiao Jiao, Jiang Nan Fang offered a different opinion.
"No matter what, Chen Jiao Jiao is his lawfully wedded wife. He got someone pregnant outside before they were divorced, and now he wants us to meet Ah San and give her a title?"
"Isn't this no different from betraying Chen Jiao Jiao? If you want to go, you go. I'm not going!"
