Chapter 22 – The Unromantic Husband Part 1

The couple were very happy at home. During this joyful occasion, Zu Jin felt that she was not tired and had the strength to chat. Even her once pale complexion became rosy with excitement.

But when Yan Lin started talking about making preparations for her to have a comprehensive medical examination, she instantly went back to being weak.

She was exactly 35 years old this year. Her pregnancy was a geriatric pregnancy. It was really embarrassing to get to this point. •´¯`•. Please read at foxaholic.com .•´¯`•

In the past, the results of her annual physical examination were not the best.

Now that she was suddenly pregnant, she was really worried about what would happen to her and her baby in the future.

Yan Lin saw her cooped up on the sofa with one hand over her lower abdomen in silence.

He had more or less guessed her thoughts, so saying some comforting words at this time might put more pressure on her.

Thus, he coughed and pretended to be relaxed. “I wanted to wait for you to take a few days off at the end of the year and go on a romantic getaway. This little guy came at a really bad time.”

“What did you say?!”

Zu Jin raised her head up with a fierce look.

Just like an old, ferocious… little hen protecting her child.

When Yan Lin saw that she was like this, he was overwhelmed with feelings for his child.

He sighed to himself about how he was able to get such a wife, and of course he was worried that the arrival of the child would cause problems with Zu Jin’s health.

Yan Lin went to her and sat down. He held her shoulder with one hand and hugged her in his arms.

“I was too impulsive. This kind of thing should have been planned since we are both at this age. The most important thing is that we are together, don’t you think so?”

He said this so smoothly that Zu Jin couldn’t stop herself from rolling her eyes.

“What kind of advice are you giving right now? I said from the beginning that I want to have a child as soon as possible, so this cannot be considered unplanned. I can only say that the chances of hitting the jackpot were too high!”

“…”

It seemed like his hints didn’t work very well.

Yan Lin touched the back of his head. For a moment, he did not know whether to sigh about who helped raise the chances of hitting the jackpot or his wife’s unusual state of mind.

Even if Zu Jin was afraid of getting a physical examination, she still had to do it in the end.

After an appointment was made and she was sure that it was not today, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

At noon, Yan Lin spent a long time in the kitchen. He boiled black chicken soup for her, and carefully removed all the grease so that she wouldn’t get fat.

Zu Jin took a sip and thought that it was delicious. The black chicken was boiled until it was tender. As soon as she tasted it, she could feel that it was made by someone with an extensive amount of cooking experience.

“How can you cook so well?!”

She took another sip of chicken soup and couldn’t help but sigh.

Yan Lin sat next to her and saw that she was so satisfied with the food. He put his chopsticks down and tilted his head like he was asking if she had enough to eat.

“In the past, when I was starting business overseas, my entire team was Chinese. Everyone liked Chinese food, but unfortunately, no one could cook. I learned a few recipes and cooked for them when I was free. Then, gradually, I discovered that I was very talented in it.”

“…There is no need to boast so much.”

Yan Lin looked stern like he was handling a major event. He solemnly defended, “Where am I boasting? I am telling the truth. We have a long future together, so I can make it for you again.”

As he spoke, Zu Jin couldn’t stop her lips from rising and she bursted out into a giggle for a while.

“All right, I’ll wait for you to make it, but if you fatten me up, I won’t spare you!”

“You might as well be fat, you don’t have any meat on your body.”

Zu Jin didn’t know which way to think.

Her cheeks warmed and blurted, “What are you talking about in broad daylight?”

However, Yan Lin didn’t know how to be romantic and said with uncertainty, “I’m not talking nonsense.”

After lunch, Zu Jin went to her bedroom to lie down and took a nap for half an hour.

When she woke up, she did not feel like there was anything wrong with her body, so she changed into clothes and put on makeup. She planned on going back to Qiyu.

There was still a lot of official business for her to deal with, and she felt bad that she was sitting around at home doing nothing.

Yan Lin saw that she had dressed up and wanted to stop her at first, but in the end, he didn’t make a sound.

He put on his coat, grabbed the car keys, and took the initiative to be the driver.
