The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 675 - 584 Moving Ants

Jian Si stood at the doorstep of Nan Zhan’s home, raising her hand to knock on the door,

"Didn’t you eat dinner tonight?" Jian Si blinked her watery, almond-shaped eyes, "But when I called you, you said you were out having dinner."

Nan Zhan was stunned for a moment,

It wasn’t that he was unfilial, but just like many other children, when he was out and about, when he faced grievances, when he encountered difficulties, the first person he thought to call was his parents. Even if it wasn’t for seeking help, hearing their voices would give him courage. However, his family was never going to be like those ordinary families, and his parents were never going to be like those ordinary parents.

He clearly remembered a time when he was still in school, playing games with classmates, when his nose got hit and bled. Although the bleeding stopped and it wasn’t painful, he still picked up the phone and called Helan Ying.

He said, "Mom, I got a nosebleed today."

But Helan Ying replied with a cold tone, "You’re a man. Complaining to me about such a minor thing? I’m very busy, don’t call me with things like this again."

He didn’t know what, in their eyes, constituted a big deal, he only knew that from then on, he wouldn’t make such pointless calls. Unless it was necessary, he wouldn’t actively call them because they were busy.

Jian Si remembered what Nan Zhan said to Helan Ying in court, and now seeing his indifferent and distant attitude, something seemed to clog her chest, making her uncomfortable. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Although her parents had passed away early, compared to the cold relationship he had with his parents, she was already lucky.

Jian Si felt sorry for him and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around him, softly saying, "They will understand one day."

"It doesn’t matter." His response was still blunt, and he lowered his head to kiss her delicate nose tip, "I’ve been used to it for a long time, it doesn’t bother me."

"So, that’s why you took Zhengzheng to the amusement park, trying to spend as much time with him as you can?" Jian Si thought back to all the past events, feeling a warmth over her heart, "You really are a good dad."

"I’ll also be a good husband." His words were so blatant it made Jian Si blush.

"How can you be so shameless?"

"I’m just telling the truth. In all the world, besides me, who else is qualified to be your husband, to be Zhengzheng’s dad."

He lifted his chin, arrogantly believing he was unmatched.

Jian Si admitted, she absolutely loved this arrogance of his, so natural, arrogantly fitting.

Life was ordinary and simple, and the interaction between the two became more and more natural, flowing freely and comfortably like water finding its course.

That evening at dinner, Jian Si served up the meals and called the father and son who were playing with the Rubik’s Cube in the living room to eat.

"Who won?" Jian Si scooped up three bowls of rice.

Zhengzheng was unwilling to admit defeat: "I’m still young."

Jian Si playfully scolded someone, "Can’t you let the child win sometimes?"

"No way, that would be my disgrace," Zhengzheng lifted his little head, "I want to speak with my own strength."

Nan Zhan gave an approving look, very good, he has his father’s spirit.

After dinner, Jian Si was washing clothes in the bathroom. Although there was a washing machine, his shirts were all very expensive, and she was reluctant to throw them into the machine for fear of damage, so she hand-washed each one.

When hanging the clothes to dry, she glanced at the vast space on the balcony and sighed helplessly.

Since when had he started moving her stuff from her home into his house like an ant moving a nest?

At first, he said her kitchen was too small, the dining table too narrow, insisted she cooked at his house every day. After dinner, they would play with Zhengzheng until late, until the child was sleepy and fell asleep. He would then carry his son to his own room, saying it’s too cold outside, going out would easily lead to a cold, and naturally left both the son and the son’s mother behind.

He always had numerous tricks and schemes, like a leopard luring its prey, scattering the bait along the way, until she walked into the trap step by step. By the time she realized it, she had already fallen into the leopard’s den and couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.

Jian Si’s small house turned into a decoration, and she and Zhengzheng completely moved into his big house.

"Zhengzheng’s birthday is coming soon." Jian Si took the opportunity to remind him while Zhengzheng was asleep.

"I know." Nan Zhan fed her a grape, "Do you want to celebrate it grandly or keep it low-key?"

His simple words "I know" touched Jian Si unexpectedly, her eyes welling with moisture. She hadn’t actually thought he’d remember Zhengzheng’s birthday.

"You decide."

Her easygoing nature made him very happy. "This is Zhengzheng’s first birthday after recognizing his ancestors and returning to the family. We can’t take it lightly, I will have someone arrange it."

"Mm, you arrange it."

"What gift do you plan to give?"

Jian Si thought of the Crystal Rubik’s Cube, she had only seen it once in Nan Zhan’s hands, and after that he never took it out again.

"He’s always been fond of a mystery writer. Last month, when that writer had a signing event, I managed to get his signature. What about you, what do you plan to give?"

Nan Zhan shook his head: "Haven’t thought of it yet."
