“Is Yan Ze really that amazing?” Shuai Chang looked at Wei Yan Ze with admiration in his eyes.
This time, Wei Yan Ze didn’t shyly lower his head. He looked at Shuai Chang with his beautiful tea-colored eyes and said, “Director Lin must have accepted me as a disciple because of my mom’s influence.”
“You both are praising each other like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It seems I don’t have any good qualities,” Shuai Chang pretended to be upset.
“Of course you do!” Wei Yan Ze quickly comforted him.
“What good qualities do I have?” Without a doubt, Yan Ze would say he is considerate, gentle, and handsome.
“Darling, you are very good at making money. That’s impressive!” Wei Yan Ze replied earnestly.
Shuai Chang: “…” This wasn’t what he had expected.
Zhou Mu pointed at the bags on the floor and said, “Alright, stop flirting and we should hurry back. I haven’t seen my beloved grandson Chengxing all day, and Chengyun should be back from school soon.”
The two women walked arm in arm outside, while Shuai Chang, the free labor, carried more than twenty bags by himself, strutting down the street with unmatched confidence and a hundred percent return glances.
Fortunately, he was driving a spacious vehicle; otherwise, he wouldn’t fit so many things.
By the time the three of them got home, it was already past six. Chengyun heard the door and excitedly rushed over to hug Wei Yan Ze: “Daddy! I won first prize in the painting competition!”
Wei Yan Ze happily lifted Chengyun: “Our Chengyun is so amazing!”
Chengyun then saw Zhou Mu beside him and reached out to hug her, “Grandma, I won first prize in painting!”
Zhou Mu helplessly embraced him, “Okay, okay, Grandma knows.”
“Grandma, you should praise me.” Chengyun winked at Zhou Mu with an affectionate look.
Unable to hold back her laughter, Zhou Mu said, “Our Chengyun is truly impressive, just like your daddy. Your daddy became a disciple of Lin Lanting today.”
Anyone who has studied painting knows Lin Lanting. The teacher who taught Zhou Chengyun painting is a die-hard fan of Lin Lanting, and he praises her greatness every day in front of the kids.
Zhou Chengyun’s eyes widened, and he covered his mouth with both hands in shock.
During dinner, Zhou Chengyun insisted on sitting in Wei Yan Ze’s lap to eat. Deng Jie laughed, “Chengyun really clings to Mrs. Zhou.”
Chengyun gobbled up the food Wei Yan Ze gave him, saying, “Because daddy is super amazing, Chengyun also wants to be as amazing as daddy.”
Zhou Zhenfei, hearing this, asked in confusion, “Chengyun, what is so amazing about your daddy?”
Zhou Mu cleared her throat, and everyone turned to look at her.
Zhou Mu slowly said, “Lin Lanting accepted Yan Ze as a disciple.”
Zhou Zhenfei has never studied painting, but he enjoys collecting art. He has a plum blossom painting by Lin Lanting hanging in his office that he bought for two million.
“Your sister-in-law is that impressive?”
Zhou Zhenfei’s expression delighted Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengyun, both of whom smiled radiantly with pride, as if they were the ones who had become disciples of Lin Lanting.
Deng Jie, unable to interject, quietly finished dinner and went upstairs to check on Zhou Chengxing.
Zhou Chengxing was still sound asleep, and Deng Jie shook him awake. Zhou Chengxing wasn’t ready to wake up, blinking his eyes and starting to cry.
Deng Jie comforted him and carried him downstairs, and sure enough, everyone’s attention returned to him.
Deng Jie was pleased, smiling as she brought Zhou Chengxing to Zhou Mu: “Chengxing missed Grandma, didn’t he?”
Zhou Mu took Zhou Chengxing, puzzled, and asked, “Isn’t Chengxing supposed to sleep until nine every day? Why is he awake so early today?”
Deng Jie’s smile stiffened, and she quickly adjusted her expression: “He must have woken up from needing to pee, and once he’s up, he refuses to go back to sleep.”
Zhou Chengyun ran over to see his brother, planting kisses all over his face: “Brother, today I was so amazing and won first prize in painting. But daddy is even more amazing because a very impressive painter accepted him as a disciple. But oh, brother is still young, so when I reach daddy’s age, I will definitely be even better than daddy! So, Chengxing, your favorite person must be brother, and brother loves you the most!”
After Zhou Chengyun finished speaking, the whole family burst into laughter. Zhou Zhenfei remarked, “Chengxing is so lucky! Why don’t I have a brother who dotes on me like that?”
Shuai Chang chuckled, “Because your brother is a wife lover.”
Zhou Chengyun sat next to Zhou Mu, “Grandma, can I hold my brother?”
Zhou Mu replied, “Not right now.” What if Chengyun accidentally dropped Chengxing?
“Why not? Chengyun is very strong! Everyone in my class can’t beat me in arm wrestling.”
“Come with Grandma to the bedroom, I’ll let you hold him there.” Zhou Mu, older and having difficulty moving, found it easier to have them in the bedroom on the first floor.
Zhou Mu took the two little ones to the bedroom while Zhou Zhenfei went to the study to handle some paperwork. In the living room, only Wei Yan Ze, Deng Jie, and Shuai Chang remained.
When Wei Yan Ze and Shuai Chang exchanged glances, there was a lingering affection between them. Deng Jie seemed oblivious and curiously asked, “Mr. Zhou, is Lin Lanting really that impressive?”
Shuai Chang, feeling lazy about explaining, directly replied, “Teacher Lin’s paintings start at a million.”
“Wow.” Deng Jie exclaimed.
He wanted to say something more, but Shuai Chang interjected, “Deng Jie, why don’t you keep an eye on my mom in her bedroom? I’m worried she won’t be able to handle two kids.” He didn’t want her sticking around like a third wheel.
His speech interrupted, Deng Jie maintained a smile: “Sure, Mr. Zhou.”
