Chapter 253 - Lin Chu’s Heart Stung at the Way He Looked at Her, Saying, “Don’t Look at Me like That, I Feel Bad.” (1/2)

Chapter 253: Lin Chu’s Heart Stung at the Way He Looked at Her, Saying, “Don’t Look at Me like That, I Feel Bad.”

Lin Chu was unable to eat from the way he looked at her. She raised her head and asked, “What are you looking for? You look at me every day. Can you even look at me so much this morning that a flower grows out?”

Yan Beicheng swallowed the stir-fried noodles in his mouth and asked, “The child still doesn’t have any movement?”

Lin Chu, “…”

“No.” The corner of Lin Chu’s lips twitched, and she rolled her eyes at him. She replied, “I thought that you’re looking at me. It’s all for the child. Sigh, women who got pregnant and become old won’t be considered highly of. What merely remains in the heart and eyes is the child.”

“Pow!” Yan Beicheng slapped the chopsticks onto the table. As the movement was a bit big, it scared Lin Chu.

She looked over in shock. ‘Could it be that I pretend too much and finally make it unbearable for Yan Beicheng?’

She had not finished her thoughts when a shadow cast on the top of her head. Yan Beicheng leaned his body from the table and kissed her hard on the lips.

Aunt Zhuang had just tidied up their bedroom and came out. She was coming from the living room when she saw the scene in the dining room. She exclaimed “oh dear” in her heart and ran away covering her face.

Yan Beicheng did not let go of Lin Chu for quite a while. He kissed her to the point that she had difficulty breathing and her face turned red from it. It was only then he noticed it through his squinted eyes and released her.

Both of his palms, however, cupped her face firmly, only letting her go by himself after staring at her for a long time. He took a turn and grazed her nose once with his long, defined finger and commented, “You’re being temperamental with me again!”

Lin Chu licked her lips and looked at him in embarrassment and admitted, “I can’t… can’t help it.”

She suddenly turned around and said in a very mischievous manner, “Isn’t it because you’ve spoiled me? So even if I act temperamental occasionally, you have to endure it.”

“Who said it’s not?” Yan Beicheng said in a low voice. A light, warm smile that was full of love for Lin Chu hung on the corner of his lips. He was not angry for the slightest bit. “I’ve told you before that I won’t be angry despite you acting temperamental. Why were you afraid just now? Don’t you believe what I said before?”

It was not something that Lin Chu should feel guilty about, yet under Yan Beicheng’s bright gaze she still felt guilty nevertheless.

His black pupils were full of warmth without a shred of anger. Perhaps he still felt a little hurt due to her distrust which made Lin Chu regretted even more.

It was not that Lin Chu did not trust him, but it was because she was afraid that she went overboard. Anyone would have moments when they were at the end of their patience, no?

She could not always depend on the counterpart’s adoration to continuously bully people.

This was what Lin Chu felt guilty about instead; it was not because she feared him.

She explained, “It’s because you suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the table just now. As your movement was slightly big, I was afraid…I was afraid that I’ve gone too far.”

Yan Beicheng looked at her while smirking, “So you do know that you’re being temperamental with me?”

“Didn’t you say that you let me act how I want to? This is also a way to spice up the romance between husband and wife,” Lin Chu said. She stretched her neck to make herself appear more confident. She even had the guts to raise her hand and pinched Yan Beicheng’s nose, and said, “This is me reminding you to not forget me as well no matter what, even if your heart thinks about your son.”

“How is it possible that I would forget about you? Besides, I can even love her a bit more if it’s a girl but since it’s a boy, I’d only cherish him when he’s in your stomach. Who will still care about him after he is born? The reason I’m thinking about him now is because of you. He has your help, thanks to you,” Yan Beicheng explained nonchalantly. Lin Chu seemed to feel something rolled in her stomach for a short while as if her son caught what Yan Beicheng said and he was throwing a fit gloomily inside.

Lin Chu thought her son had a very good temper as he was only moving slightly and did not use his strength violently when he was throwing a fit.

“You, however, have to remember what you said today as well. You don’t like me valuing the child more than you. Similarly, I also don’t like you regarding the child more important than me. I’ve certainly heard a lot that women will devote to the child wholeheartedly, cast the husband aside and neglect them after giving birth. If you’re also like this when the time comes, I’ll only then be truly angry,” Yan Beicheng reminded. He seemed to imagine how Lin Chu would fling him aside, putting all her attention on the son and not even glancing at him, Yan Beicheng’s face became extremely unhappy.

He was grinding his teeth as he spoke those words as if he had met his tragic future. His expression of looking at Lin Chu had already resembled those that were looking at a cheater.

“…” Lin Chu’s entire body truly did not feel good from how he gazed at her as if she had let him down. She asked helplessly, “Who did you hear it from?”

“In any case, it’s said this way,” Yan Beicheng said. He would not admit that he had secretly visited the online forum for mommies at the company. Plus, Zuo Qiu would gossip with him on how to raise a child when he had nothing to do.

Zuo Qi himself was still a knotty problem yet he still had the nerve to tell him all day long about what would happen once he had a child.

There was once when they were eating lunch and it just so happened that a young couple brought their child along to eat. The child was seated in a baby chair and looked to be three or four years old; an age that children could eat by themselves but would not want to do so.

Hence the young mother coaxed and fed the son for the whole lunch session. She did not manage to eat properly and only managed to stuff a few mouthfuls of food during intervals. She did not even have the time to talk to the husband, and when she did so, it was a perfunctory reply made in a preoccupied fashion. Her attention was all on the son.

At that time, Zuo Qiu covertly pointed to the side and whispered, “Master Yan, look. Wait till I have a child in the future, I absolutely won’t let my wife be so indulged. It won’t do if she treats me coldly to take care of the child. Regardless of how the child is, I would still have to be number one. Since it’s a son, he would have to be raised strongly. If he doesn’t want to eat properly, then he doesn’t have to eat. What’s the point of coaxing? Not only he won’t be allowed to eat, but also he’ll be whooped when we return home so that he won’t dare to not eat decently later on.”

Zuo Qiu looked proud. He did not even have a girlfriend, but he had a set of gained knowledge for raising children.

Yan Beicheng merely glanced indifferently at him then and said, “Find someone willing to give birth for you first and then talk about it.”

Zuo Qiu, “…”

It was a mean choke that he got.

Though Yan Beicheng’s mouth ridiculed him in such a way, his heart did remember what Zuo Qiu said and felt that it made sense.

He pinched Lin Chu’s cheeks and asked, “Do you understand or not?”

“Yes, I do,” Lin Chu acknowledged obediently.

Yan Beicheng’s gaze slightly hung down and fell onto her stomach again, “Has the baby moved?”

Lin Chu, “…”

Where had the regard of her being important which he agreed gone to?

After saying so much, he had not forgotten the son yet!

Lin Chu was about to say that she seemed to have felt that her son moved slightly just now when the doorbell rang.

Aunt Zhuang could no longer hide and hurriedly went to answer the door.

Lin Chu heard lively sounds straight away. “Xiao Zhuang, have Cheng’er and Lin Chu went to work already? We did not arrive late, right?”

“They’re still eating,” Aunt Zhuang replied.

When the two elders walked into the dining room joyfully, Yan Beicheng had already stood up. Lin Chu was also standing up while supporting her belly.

“Goodness me, sit down. Why are you being so polite? You guys continue eating,” Old Lady Yan said as she beamed.

“Why have you two elders come over?” Yan Beicheng asked, seeing that Old Master Yan was following behind Old Lady Yan and coming in with his hands clasped behind his back.

He pulled out two chairs to let the two elders sit.

“Grandma, have you guys eaten yet?” asked Lin Chu.

“Yes, we have. We don’t sleep a lot so we woke up early. We only came over after having a meal.” Old Lady Yan said, “You guys eat and don’t have to mind us. We’ve heard that Lin Chu has fetal movement, so we come over to have a look.”

Despite her words, Aunt Zhuang still poured glasses of milk for each of the two elders.

Old folks could not eat much but it was still best to be 80% full, as such they did not particularly invite them to eat and only served milk so they could drink and chat at the same time.

“…” Yan Beicheng ate a spoonful of scrambled eggs before asking, “You guys came over early in the morning for this?”

“Well, we’re anxious. I heard yesterday that you purposely went to Xiao Wei’s company because you wanted to be the first one to feel it?” Old Lady Yan said and drank a mouthful of milk.

Yan Beicheng was drinking his water and spit it out upon hearing what was said. He asked, “Who was so garrulous?”

Old Lady Yan glared at him and said, “Why is it called garrulous? You didn’t tell us about such an important matter. You wanted to keep him for yourself?”

Yan Beicheng immediately thought about the moment when they previously went to check the baby’s gender at the hospital. The Old Master and Old Lady had sidelined him, not giving him, the biological father, a chance to see the child. He became exceedingly guarded facing the two elders now.

“What do you mean keeping him to myself? I’m his biological father,” Yan Beicheng said proudly and straightened his back. “Besides, it’s the same as telling you guys after we go to the Family Mansion. What’s the big deal about this?”

Old Lady Yan felt that this big grandson did not understand their excitement and did not feel that he would understand too even if she would to explain to him. She turned her head and looked fervently at Lin Chu, to the point that Lin Chu started to feel uncomfortable with Old Lady Yan’s gaze.

“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Lin Chu could not even finish her meal.

“Lin Chu, has your stomach moved now?” Old Lady Yan asked with anticipation.
