Chapter 2007: Confidence

A girl like her, how could she shoulder this enormous family business? If one day, Gao Zhe gets tired and abandons her, she could be torn to shreds by the hyenas that would pounce on her in no time.

Without a brother at home to support her, she ultimately lacks confidence.

Can’t Gao Zhe understand this?!

Upstairs.

Lu Zhenzhen has already taken a bath, and Mother Lu personally helped to make the bed with new sheets, actually she just adjusted the corners, naturally, there are servants to do the rest.

After finishing, she holds the removed sheets and pillowcases ready to go out, and opens the door just in time to meet Gao Zhe.

“Son-in-law.”

Gao Zhe steps aside to make way and greets her politely.

He walks inside, Lu Zhenzhen is sitting in front of the dressing table, Mother Lu is drying her hair.

“Did you wash your hair?”

“I made her wash it. It’s been a long time since I dried her hair.”

Mother Lu holds a towel in her hand, absorbing the water from the ends of Lu Zhenzhen’s hair. She smiles at the man who just walked in, “You’ve been chatting with your dad for quite a while, are you tired?”

“Not tired, it’s only right to chat with Dad.”

Mother Lu is purely satisfied with her son-in-law, especially since her daughter personally chose him, perfect without any faults. “He’s like that, talks a lot and dense, just listen, don’t take it too seriously.”

Gao Zhe chuckles softly, but doesn’t respond.

“What would you like to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I will personally cook for you both.”

Gao Zhe says, “Anything is fine, I eat it all.”

“I want seafood! King crab, take the crab legs and make porridge, toss in some corn kernels. Mom, isn’t it the season for glutinous corn? Use glutinous corn please, we can even stir-fry some corn and shrimp!”

Lu Zhenzhen doesn’t hold back at all, and immediately gives her order.

Mother Lu affectionately taps her nose, “Oh you, I was asking Xiao Zhe, not you. Also, seafood is cold food; you should eat less while you’re pregnant.”

“Can I eat nothing then?! Pregnant with a little rascal, do I have to avoid food too?”

“What did you expect?”

Lu Zhenzhen feels annoyed, “I wouldn’t have gotten pregnant if I knew it was this troublesome!”

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

Mother Lu hastily covers her mouth, “You child, watch what you say and avoid taboos, don’t scare the child, he’s very petty!”

Lu Zhenzhen doesn’t believe this at all; she doesn’t think a little pea could understand human language. Unhappily, she scrunches her nose, her lips pouted so that a kettle could hang from them.

Mother Lu subconsciously looks at her son-in-law and laughs, “Just look at her; this kid… she’s been spoiled to have no manners at all.”

“It’s okay, as long as she’s happy, the child won’t be petty,” Gao Zhe brings over a cup of hot water, placing it on the dressing table, smiling at Lu Zhenzhen, who makes faces at him playfully, capturing all her cute and mischievous mannerisms in his eyes, making his smile deepen further, “Miss Lu’s child can’t be petty.”

Mother Lu had just sighed when Gao Zhe reassured her, “I will talk to her later.”

Mother Lu gave him a slightly annoyed glance, “If only you could actually bear to scold her!”

Gao Zhe chuckled and handed over the hair dryer.

He didn’t fight with Mother Lu for it and didn’t hover by the side; instead, he found a book to read quietly on the sofa.

The sound of mother and daughter’s laughter mixed with the heat from the hair dryer. The bedroom door was open, allowing the hallway’s draught to come in, yet not even a hint of cold air could invade.

The atmosphere was perfectly warm and cozy.

Mother Lu didn’t stay much longer, after drying Lu Zhenzhen’s hair, she reminded them not to play too late, and thoughtfully closed the door when she left.

Lu Zhenzhen directly pounced into Gao Zhe’s arms, he quickly sat up a bit, spreading his legs apart so that when she came over, he could embrace her, his hands subconsciously protecting her stomach.
