Chapter 690 The male protagonist begs for soft food (fifty)
Author: Salina
Zhou Ziqin knew Xiao Hongmei before marrying Gu Qingcheng.
She knew very well that Xiao Hongmei was just one step away from asking to marry Gu Qingcheng.
In fact, Xiao Hongmei was nothing more than a stranger to Zhou Ziqin.
She had never even met that woman.
However, Xiao Hongmei has a very special identity - her husband's ex-girlfriend.
Zhou Ziqin is a noble young lady, and she also has a certain amount of arrogance.
She won't care about irrelevant people, let alone get jealous.
But, Xiao Hongmei is different——
"He heard that her condition is not very good!"
Speaking of which, Xiao Hongmei's family background is somewhat similar to Zhou Ziqin's.
Xiao Hongmei's father is not a senior citizen, and her mother is not a young lady from a scholarly family.
After liberation, Xiao's father was transferred back to the capital, and his mother went to Shuimu to teach.
Four years ago, when the storm had not yet come, Xiao Hongmei lived a free and carefree life, and she was probably recommended to study abroad in Goose Country because of her wealthy family background.
The year after Xiao Hongmei left, something happened to Xiao Hongmei's grandfather.
The mother was implicated, but fortunately Xiao's father tried his best to save her.
However, because of that incident, Xiao's father's future was also hindered and he was "transferred" to Jizhou.
Xiao Hongmei is quite good, but she is not abroad after all.
However, the next year, the two brothers fell out completely and the experts withdrew.
The once close brothers finally came to the opposite side.
Xiao Hongmei's situation became embarrassing.
She had to return home!
After returning abroad, Xiao Hongmei's situation became even more difficult.
...Originally, those had nothing to do with Zhou Ziqin.
But for some reason, Zhou Ziqin felt guilty.
If there are no accidents, people who have been protected by Baqin Qingcheng and have lived a good life should be Xiao Hongmei.
She, Zhou Ziqin, all the happiness she has now was stolen from Xiao Hongmei.
With such thoughts, Zhou Ziqin felt more and more guilty, and even felt deeply uneasy——
Stolen things do not belong to you after all, and they will be taken back one day.
Zhou Ziqin doesn’t want to lose her husband, let alone her current happy life!
Tangle, contradiction, hesitation, worry and other negative emotions entangled Zhou Ziqin, making her a little depressed.
Gu Qingcheng did not rush to respond to Zhou Ziqin's topic, but stretched out her legs to hold Zhou Ziqin's legs and wrists.
Zhou Ziqin:......
She looked at her husband's handsome and thoughtful face, then looked down at her own legs and wrists and his long, red-sleeved legs.
Er, if she read it correctly, was her husband diagnosing her pulse?
No! They were chatting, and her husband didn’t respond to her. He actually dropped the book in his lap and walked directly in front of her.
It's very, very suspicious that you are diagnosing her pulse?
Very, my husband is very good at Chinese medicine?
She knows that her husband can do anything, but every time, her husband can bring Zhou Ziqin unexpected surprises.
Yes, when he is not thinking about those things now, what should he be thinking about?
Zhou Ziqin's brain was in knots and she couldn't figure out her husband's routine at all.
"Xiaoqin, I'm pregnant!"
Pregnant women are prone to having random thoughts.
If not treated in time, it may develop into prenatal depression.
Zhou Ziqin:(⊙_⊙)
Is he pregnant?
How come he doesn't know?
Yes, they are talking about Xiao Hongmei.
Zhou Ziqin's brain was in a state of confusion. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or whether she should continue to struggle.
Gu Qingcheng held her leg and asked her to walk on the chair beside her.
She came from the east and looked level with Zhou Ziqin, "Xuanqin, do you know why he didn't go abroad with Xiao Hongmei?"
Zhou Ziqin: "Why?"
"Because he and Xiao Hongmei have differences on issues of principle."
"Principle? What principle?"
"Xiao Hongmei hopes that he and she will form a new family after they get married."
Zhou Ziqin:...That's right.
Don't they have a brand new independent family now?
Both parents are present, but neither parent interferes in their life as a young couple.
Their family of three lived happily and happily.
And that kind of life really should belong to Xiao Hongmei.
When Gu Qingcheng saw Zhou Ziqin's expression changing, he knew that she was trying to get into trouble.
She gently held Zhou Ziqin's leg and continued, "It's different! The small family that Xiao Hongmei wants is different from the small family we have now."
"She doesn't want him to have too much involvement with his parents, brothers and sisters, and she doesn't want him to have any contact with the folks in his hometown!"
"How is that possible? I didn't jump out of the cracks in the rocks. How can I cut off contact with my relatives and fellow villagers?"
Zhou Ziqin's ideas were finally driven by Qin Qingcheng and began to run along the normal track.
"No! I think that's the biggest difference between me and Xiao Hongmei."
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyes and looked deeply at Zhou Ziqin, "Not only does he not deny Sun Wukong, he does not deny the Phoenix Man."
"Phoenix Man? What do you mean?"
The age gap made it difficult for Zhou Ziqin to understand the derogatory term of later generations.
Gu Qingcheng explained with a smile, "The golden phoenix that flew out of the ravines relied on his own ability to get a hold of his rich and powerful wife, and then dragged his family to eat his wife's soft rice!"
"Nonsense! I am not a phoenix man! I am a dragon soaring in the sky!"
Zhou Ziqin quit immediately.
"What Phoenix Man? You obviously look down on me and humiliate me!"
After four years of marriage, Zhou Ziqin has never thought that her husband is a soft-boiled man, let alone a so-called Phoenix man.
"But, Xiaoqin, I must admit that I have indeed sacrificed a lot since we got married."
"His salary is so much, and he wants to send half of it back to his hometown. The family expenses, supercomputing center, chip factory, etc. are all part of my dowry."
"My parents are very kind, and I spent a lot of money on them."
Gu Qingcheng did not avoid the fact that he was a soft-boiled person, and told all Zhou Ziqin's contributions in the past four years one by one.
Zhou Ziqin looked disapproving, "That's what you said!"
"He has money not only after marrying me, but since he was born."
"That's not his problem, let alone mine."
"They are husband and wife, they have started a family together, and they just want to work hard for their family."
Zhou Ziqin really never cares about the gains and losses of money.
Perhaps, in her situation, she could really pretend to say, "Anything that can be solved with money is no problem."
If you can spend some money, you can make the husband and wife love each other, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be harmonious. Zhou Ziqin is definitely willing to do so.
The fact is, Zhou Ziqin has indeed done that in the past four years.
It turns out that it didn’t even satisfy her——
She was very friendly with Gu Qingcheng and polite with her parents-in-law. Her brother-in-law and sister-in-law also respected her as their "eldest sister-in-law".
The confinement period couldn’t be more wonderful!
Huh?
etc!
Because of her pregnancy, Zhou Ziqin, who had become sensitive and thoughtful due to the influence of external hormones, suddenly reacted——
She will have the happy life she has now, and she will have her own efforts!
If Xiao Hongmei marries Gu Qingcheng, it may not be——
Just when she realized that, Zhou Ziqin thought of Gu Qingcheng's voice again: "Xiao Hongmei doesn't agree with that."
"She was cruel to him, but she wanted him to be separated from his family of origin."
"She was willing to help him with money and career, but she asked him to do so on the condition that he cut off contact with his parents and other relatives."
"She won't be like me, a filial and ruthless parent. She won't treat her second brother and the others as her younger siblings."
"She is the daughter of a wealthy family, and he is the son-in-law who steps in."
Having said that, Gu Qingcheng curled up the corners of her lips, her voice was soft but firm, "Xiao Qin, I understand him, he has his pride, and he also has his responsibilities."
"The opportunity to study abroad in E Country is very rare, but if he is the eldest son of the Gu family and the pride of the entire Liu Family Temple, he cannot deny it to himself."
"So, he and Xiao Hongmei are destined to be together. Even if they reluctantly combine, they will not be happy after all."
Gu Qingcheng saw very clearly whether Xiao Hongmei's ex-girlfriend was wrong or not, to be precise, whether she was an official match or not.
There is no doubt that she cares about Qingcheng ruthlessly.
But, she is even more cruel to herself.
It's not that Zhou Ziqin is not cruel to herself, but she is a bit more sincere than Xiao Hongmei.
Zhou Ziqin is not as divided as Xiao Hongmei——
On the one hand, he is cruel to Gu Qingcheng, but on the other hand, he dislikes his original family.
Apart from being ruthless or not, Zhou Ziqin is probably richer and more imaginative.
That is probably the biggest difference between Zhou Ziqin and Xiao Hongmei:
Zhou Ziqin has been the eldest daughter of the capitalists since she was born. Even in the war-torn times, she lived a life of fine clothing and fine food.
She has no idea whether money is wrong or not.
Xiao Hongmei, for some reasons, was fostered by her parents in a fellow villager's home when she was a child.
She has had a hard time in confinement since she was a child, and she has never seen the reality that "poor and lowly couples are miserable".
Although she was taken back by her parents after a few years of living like that, the memory of her past was so profound that it affected her life.
It also created her rather contradictory mentality: she was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family, but deep down she had low self-esteem.
"Xiao Qin, do I know that his teacher and many classmates and colleagues firmly believe that he and I are a match made in heaven?"
Gu Qingcheng shook Zhou Ziqin's leg hard, and deliberately spoke in a joking tone, "I am rich, and he is talented. I am cruel to him, and he is cruel to me."
"I am willing to give everything to him, and he is willing to give everything to protect me!"
Therefore, their happiness is not the result of their joint efforts, nor is it stolen by me, nor does it have anything to do with other people!
Zhou Ziqin looked at her husband steadily, and she could clearly see her reflection in his clear and bright eyes.
There is and is only her.
"..." Zhou Ziqin pursed his lips. There were too many things he wanted to say.
But when it came to his mouth, all he could say was, "Oh, this is an old married couple, what are you talking about?"
Then, Zhou Ziqin reacted belatedly, "Is he pregnant? Oh, their Xiao Beiqiu has a younger brother and younger sister!"
Xiaobei refused to name their daughter. When Zhou Ziqin confirmed that she was pregnant, Gu Qingcheng was working as a supporter at a digital factory in Liaodong, so Zhou Ziqin simply named the child Gu Nianbei.
And the one in the belly can also be named according to that pattern, well, just call it Gu Nianxi...
