Chapter 1579: Afraid

No matter how much you dislike it, this is still your child who has come into this world.

Jiang Xinyu didn’t know how to persuade him either, so she thought perhaps parent-child relationships also depend on fate.

In the evening, Jing Chu and the others learned that their father would leave in two or three days. They were unwilling to let him go.

But they couldn’t stay with Dad, so Jing Chu felt a bit annoyed.

In the evening, Chaoyang comforted her, “Isn’t it nice that Dad has Aunt Yang to take care of him? Don’t overthink it.”

“I know, Aunt Yang is truly good to Dad. With her there, I can rest assured.”

Chaoyang leaned closer to Jing Chu, “Do you think Dad and Aunt Yang are in love?”

Jing Chu thought for a moment, “I think they are. Dad said he loves Aunt Yang.”

“Haha, Dad’s love did come a bit late.”

“I know my dad didn’t love my mom, and even less for my aunt. Dad liked Aunt Jiang, but Aunt Jiang and Uncle Wei were a pair. I used to be afraid Dad would be single all his life.”

“Isn’t everything perfect now? He has a partner and found love. How wonderful is that?”

“Exactly. I also hope Dad can be happy. Alright, I’ll stop thinking about it, I’m just reluctant.”

Actually, they all know how unlikely Lv Beiguang will return often in the future, given the distance and inconvenient transportation. That’s why Jing Chu was so unwilling to let go.

Chaoyang refused, “I’m in my danger period these few days.”

Chaoyang cuddled Jing Chu and kissed her several times.

At school, many male classmates like his wife.

He just let them know they are already a couple, and have a child.

Chaoyang now lacks a sense of security; there are plenty of people better than him. He fears Jing Chu might change her heart.

“Jing Chu, should we have another child?” Chaoyang regretted it right after saying it. He still remembers the hardships his wife went through during Chenxi’s pregnancy.

Jing Chu didn’t speak for a while, and Chaoyang thought she was angry. After all, what happened back then was so severe.

“I want to wait until after college graduation to have another child, but I also feel my age might be too old by then. I’m still considering this issue.”

“Jing Chu, let’s just have Chenxi. I’m scared.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? It was because I was in a bad mood at the time. Now things are different; I even like girls now.”

Chaoyang really wanted to kick himself, why did he bring up this topic? Nothing in the world is more important than Jing Chu.

“Wife, having just Chenxi is fine. Really, if we have another and can’t take care of it properly, we’ll feel guilty toward the child. Better to focus on raising Chenxi wholeheartedly. If you like girls, wait until Chenxi grows up and gives you a granddaughter.”

Jing Chu was moved by Chaoyang’s words. Indeed, both of them are still in school and couldn’t take care if they had a child now, which would greatly neglect the child.

Chaoyang, seeing Jing Chu contemplating, pressed on to convince her.

“Jing Chu. In the future, we can let Chenxi get married early, then you can see the granddaughter or grandson you like.”

Jing Chu smacked Chaoyang, “You think too far ahead. Let’s talk about this later. Maybe after I graduate, I’ll have time to take care of a child.”

Chaoyang was finally relieved; they’ll discuss in the future, not letting his wife entertain this idea now. He was genuinely scared; earlier words stemmed from his fear of losing Jing Chu.

That incident left a deep scar in Chaoyang’s heart, making him avoid speaking with female classmates now and rarely talking with female teachers.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy from being hurt by a rope.

“Jing Chu, should we bring something for Dad and Aunt Yang?”

“What can we bring? In this weather, even food can’t be carried much. Dad even gave me and my sister-in-law money. He handed it again, afraid we’d be relucant to spend.”

Chaoyang also felt in a difficult spot. Here he was supporting a wife and son, yet needed his father-in-law to give money. It felt pretty frustrating just thinking about it.

“Chaoyang, don’t overthink. Just be good to my dad and nice to my siblings now.”

“Don’t worry, I definitely will.”

Jing Chu still knew Chaoyang’s character, so she was assured.

Guodong and Li Xue were also talking, “Dad gave me money again, two thousand each for me and Jing Chu this time.”

Guodong was startled for a moment, “Then keep it, he is our dad.”

Li Xue turned over to look at Guodong, “Is our food really that bad? Dad fearing we are too frugal?”

Guodong turned to face her, “Exactly, it’s probably because of that. Dad knows we suffered before, later living with Aunt Jiang, he feared we wouldn’t spend money freely. Don’t worry, Dad is well-off; the winery with Uncle Han is doing very well, demand exceeds supply.”

“I know, it just feels a bit embarrassing that we’ve already started a family but still need money from parents.”

“Stop overthinking it, we’re still his kids even when seventy or eighty years old.”

“Guodong, do you think Aunt Yang is really generous? Leaving Yiqing outside like that, if it were Jing Chen, I definitely couldn’t bear it.”

“Aunt Yang prioritizes Dad above all else. I guess choosing Dad means she has to overlook the younger siblings.”

“Haha, truly envy Dad; Aunt Yang loves him so dearly.”

Guodong’s hand started to wander. “Don’t I love you too?”

The couple started getting heated.

Wei Kaiyun returned at night. Knowing Lv Beiguang was back. “Does that mean he’s leaving?”

“It’ll be in two or three days.” Jiang Xinyu fed the child while chatting with Wei Kaiyun.

“I’ll prepare something for them tomorrow.”

“What to prepare? In this hot weather, food is certainly out. I thought about it this afternoon. Better wait until the weather cools, then send something across with the car.”

Wei Kaiyun nodded, “I’ll go to the Overseas Chinese Store tomorrow to have a look.”

“Even milk candy and chocolate won’t do, they’ll melt. Forget it. You focus on your work.”

“Wife, have I been neglecting you?”

Wei Kaiyun hugged Jiang Xinyu from behind, whispering near her ear.

“Get off me. Don’t need you to pay attention.”

Wei Kaiyun felt deeply wounded. His wife seems to have no room for him in her eyes and heart now. He couldn’t let this continue.

“Xinyu, let’s hire a nanny to look after the child. You’re too worn out; I’ll find one, definitely a good one, then when the child grows a bit, you can just teach.”

“No need, attending to the child isn’t that strenuous, and I’m taking this chance to accompany Master Shang.”

The elderly person’s health was increasingly deteriorating; visits to the Chinese medicine doctor showed aging body functions, with nothing much that could be done.
