Chapter 381 - One Is Enough

The following day, Zhiyuan thought if it would be wise to go to the office. But Zizi had already left with Yunru. Han Huizhong pretty much didn't step out of his room. The tension between Xia Liqin and Han Tian had slightly eased up too. 

And it wasn't just Han Corps now. Since Xiaosi was in a coma, Liang and Zhiyuan decided that they would jointly take care of S3 Company in his absence. They would take care of all S3's business but won't let S3 suffer that Xiaosi had worked so hard to build. Lei Shu and Lei Shing offered to help with the management too.

Xinyi said, "We don't have much time left for the project. We could hardly work on the deal since we came to know about Han Zongying. So we shouldn't delay anymore."

Zhiyuan grimaced.

The project…

How could he forget that? He regretted asking Xinyi's help because if he knew Liao Yuan would be a part of this too, then he would have never asked her.

Not that Xinyi loved him, but still someone's presence who loved his wife irked him to no bounds. In the Summit, Liao Yuan has even confessed to her again. The nerve of him!

But now things would change.

Zhiyuan nodded. "You are right. I have a few meetings in S3 too so I cannot slack off."

"Alright. After dropping Siying off to school, we will head to the office. I will get things ready-"

Xinyi was suddenly pulled into his arms. Zhiyuan smiled. "Sure we will, but how about spending some lovey-dovey time together first?"

Xinyi looked at him and then looked away, slightly blushing. "We don't have time…"

"I am the CEO. I can make time for anything."

"How can you abuse your power like that?"

"Anything for my lovely wife," he grinned.

"You…" her complaints were left unsaid as Zhiyuan lifted her chin and kissed her lips. His arms snuggled her waist as his lips captured hers. It had been a long time since they were intimate like this. Han Zongying and the past weighed heavily on them, and nobody could really rest.

But now the dark cloud had passed. Regarding Xiaosi and An Guoting, the situation was still grim, but they knew everything would be fine one day. They had come this far. They had faith that things would sort out, and they would find the right path.

His fingers gently teased her cheek and cupped it in his palm. Her soft hair tickled his hand, and he simply loved the sensation. He pulled her closer and peppered kisses on her eyes, nose and cheeks. Her face was tomato red.

"You are cute when you blush," he chuckled.

She reddened further. Zhiyuan leaned in for another kiss.

"Mama! I am ready!" Siying interrupted him, and Zhiyuan could only cry.

Why now? You don't have to be on time! It's fine to be a little late!

Xinyi quickly put her palms on her chest and pushed him away like how someone does to a mosquito. He cried.

Siying blinked his eyes. "Mama is red."

Xinyi flushed. "It's nothing. Are you ready?"

He giggled. "Caught Mama Dada! Mama Dada was lovey-dovey!"

"..."

Since Siying already knew about it, Zhiyuan let out his grievances. "Yes, son. Mama and Dada were lovey-dovey. Don't you want to see your little sister as soon as possible?"

Xinyi covered her face.

Zhiyuan!

"En! Me and Brother Jun! We want to see my sister!" Siying beamed in delight.

His gaze darkened. "Don't talk about him! Who cares about what the brat wants?"

"But brother Jun says that my sister will be his wife," he pouted. "We will be brother-in-laws."

Zhiyuan had an urge to throw and break something.

Siying then said, "He told me that Nuo will marry me, and my sister will marry brother Jun!"

Xinyi clapped. "Oh my!"

Zhiyuan was speechless. "Why are you so happy? I am not happy with this at all! It's not some exchange! It's fine if Nuo becomes our daughter-in-law, but it doesn't mean I will exchange my daughter for that sake!"

Xinyi sighed. "Why do you have so many problems with Jun anyway?"

"Because he dares claim her even before she is born!"

"So it's fine if he did after she was born?" She questioned.

Zhiyuan gasped. "It would never be alright!"

"She has to marry someday."

"Why? She will live with her parents forever. What's the problem? This is the twenty-first century. I am against the idea that marriage is a necessity," Zhiyuan righteously said. "One can live a happy single life too."

"So it's fine if Siying decides not to marry?"

"No, he has to. How will we get a cute daughter-in-law then? Somebody has to make us grandparents."

Her mouth twitched heavily.

"Can you hear the sound of bias in your words, Zhiyuan?"

Zhiyuan nonchalantly shrugged. "I don't know what you mean, Xinyi."

She smiled. "You said that one can live a happy single life."

He nodded hard.

"Do you want to live a happy single life?"

".....No."

"So don't become Xu Liang version 2.0. He is already enough for us, who has a daughter complex."

!!!

"We don't need you to become a part of that group too. Look at Xiaosi. He is always so calm about Chyou."

"Hah! Don't get fooled by his cool demeanor. He thinks just like Liang. He just doesn't show on his face because he doesn't want everyone to think that he is annoying like Liang. I bet he was really frustrated in the Summit when we were talking about Chyou's marriage."

Xinyi sighed.

"You are really impossible."

Siying tugged her dress. "Mama, we are getting late for school! The teacher will scold me," he pouted.

"Yes, yes, let's go. It's all because of Zhiyuan."

He was dumbfounded.

What did I do?

As Xinyi and Siying went ahead, Zhiyuan got a call. He widened his eyes. Xinyi turned. "Who is it?"

"Oh, it is just Liang. I will talk to him and be back."

"Okay."

Zhiyuan waited until they left and quickly picked the call.. "Yes, tell me. How are the preparations going on?"
