Just Want To Be With You

The Zhou family’s brat is born and everyone is happy, yet Zhou Jianchen has been indifferent all along.

They have moved to live with the Zhou family since the child needs someone to look after and Madam Zhou wants to see her grandson, so there are always people around when they return home with no respite at all.

Liang Yin dotes on the child too, as she will glue to the child whenever she is free and not caring about him at all.

He actually wanted to leave the child here and wash his hands off, but how could Liang Yin be willing.

In the living room, the adults started to tease the child again, but Duan-duan kept leaning against Liang Yin’s shoulder, not wanting anyone at all. He’s not shy with strangers but once Liang Yin is home, he won’t let anyone carry him.

Being nine months old now, he still couldn’t talk but already had a mind of his own, knowing who likes him the most and who he likes the most.

With fair complexion and looking like Liang Yin at first, he later looks like Zhou Jianchen. Zhou Zuokang joked that this was triggered by his intense desire to survive and wanted to let his father know whose son he actually is –  Zhou Jianchen dislikes his own child and everyone in the family knows. He doesn’t kick up fusses, always behaves well, listens quietly when others speak, purses his mouth and smiles bashfully when someone teases him.

Hearing others laughing at him at this moment, he buried his head in Liang Yin’s neck and refused to look up.

Seeing him buried in Liang Yin’s arms and refusing to move, Mother Zhou laughed and patted his butt, “Really dotted you in vain!” Duan-duan usually lets her carry him and she will take him to stroll around when she has nothing to do. Everyone here knows the Zhou family has a child named Duan-duan, who is very cute. She thought she was his dearest, but once his own mother returns, everyone steps aside.

Liang Yin laughed too. She hasn’t accepted any filming after she gave birth, but she still works and can’t be with him all the time. As a result, every time after she leaves and comes home, he will be like this and this time she had only left for two days.

“Duan-duan, you’re a boy ah.” How can you be so clingy? She said helplessly.

On the side, Zhou Zuokang clapped his hands, “Come, Duan-duan, let Uncle carry you!” Today was the family dinner, so he came back too.

Hearing his voice, Duan-duan really turned his head to look at him and immediately pounced on him with open arms.

Zhou Zuokang carried and lifted him up, and spoke with a smile, “It seems that Duan-duan still likes Uncle very much ah!”

Being lifted high, shaken, tickled and feeling excited, Duan-duan giggled with laughter. He indeed likes Zhou Zuokang very much. Zhou Zuokang seldom comes back, but he loves to tease him, so the uncle and nephew are simply very affectionate.

Mother Zhou became nervous again, “Be careful, don’t drop Duan-duan!”

Zhou Zuokang glanced at Zhou Jianchen who was sitting on the sofa and merely asked, “Duan-duan, where’s Daddy ah?” Being nine months old, he started to recognize people.

Stunned for a moment, Duan-duan immediately turned his head and set his sight on Zhou Jianchen.

Zhou Jianchen glanced over too, hence both father and son’s line of vision met at once.

Zhou Zuokang laughed out loud, “It’s hard to believe you still recognize your Daddy! He doesn’t even carry you!”

“ ….. “ Zhou Jianchen’s face blackened. But he indeed doesn’t carry him very much.

Yet he didn’t expect him to find him at once.

Mother Zhou felt discontented too, “You are still unabashed. Being away for several days, you don’t even carry him when you come back, where is there such a Daddy like you!” Saying that, she picked up Duan-duan and just placed him on his lap. Zhou Jianchen was busy these days and often not home.

Before Zhou Jianchen could react, his knees slumped and his own child was already on his laps.

Zhou Jianchen, “ ….. “

Duan-duan, “ ….. “

Zhou Jianchen was unused to this, while Duan-duan didn’t expect he would be tossed on his own father’s laps like this too.

Both pairs of eyes looked at each other, and each felt the awkwardness.

Children know who likes them and who doesn’t like them much too.

Ignoring them, Mother Zhou pulled Liang Yin away, “Ah Yin ah, I bought some bird’s nests last time. I’ll ask Nanny Chen to make some for you tomorrow morning … “ Should just let them be together more.

Liang Yin glanced at the father and son, then followed in wake with a smile. Zhou Jianchen never pays attention to his own son, thus she is happy letting them alone together.

Zhou Jianchen looked at his son for a while, then picked him up silently to put him aside, while he replied to the messages on his cellphone again.

After a while, he turned his head to look at him again.

Duan-duan sat quietly playing with the ball in his hand, and when he saw him turn his head, he turned his head too, looking at him with his pair of dark eyes.

Silent for a long while, Zhou Jianchen just picked him up to place him on his laps again.

Duan-duan looked up at him, and lowered his head to play with his ball quietly …

**********

When it was bedtime at night, Zhou Jianchen tossed Duan-duan to his nanny again.

Once the door was closed, Liang Yin was a little speechless, “You don’t treat the child a little better either.” Duan-duan was looking earnestly at her just now, and appeared pitiful to the extreme.

Duan-duan has been sleeping alone since he was very young. Although Liang Yin dotes on the child, she doesn’t spoil him either. Knowing that he would have to undertake many tasks in the future, she fostered his independence early on. But sometimes she feels soft-hearted and seeing that the child clings to her, she will still carry him over and sleep with him for a night or two. Without doubt, it has to be when Zhou Jianchen is not home. The previous few days she had slept with him and not to mention how happy he was when he woke up – such a young child and he already has some memories, hence he probably thought he could sleep with his mother again just now.

But Zhou Jianchen merely kissed her and said, “There are so many people who love him, barely me at all.” He just needs to love her.

Want to come over and sleep together? Don’t even think about it!

His kiss lingered with passion, and the intensity unfurled again.

Liang Yin has regained her figure very well. She didn’t change much when she was pregnant and now she has reattained her gracefulness – she has always been a self-restraint person. Still slender and lithe, yet with a little more softness and fullness, which is even more irresistible.

Zhou Jianchen has not come home for several days too.

Liang Yin’s soft moaning sound soon came from the room. She never dared to be unrestrained in the Zhou family, so she just kept her voice down. But Zhou Jianchen seemed to harbor certain intentions as he became more and more vigorous that she could no longer restrain herself.

Not daring to call out while Zhou Jianchen avoided her kisses too, she could only bite her own lips tightly. Zhou Jianchen, after all, was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he kissed her lips again.

Yet he spoke again, “How about going back tomorrow?”

Back to where? Of course it’s back to Cuihu.

He constantly wanted to leave this wretched son behind, and go back to Cuihu Villa to continue enjoying their romantic couple’s world.

How could Liang Yin not know what was in his mind yet she was pushed to the point of fervency that she just gritted her teeth and said, “But he’s your own son!”

“A son is not as intimate as the wife.” Zhou Jianchen smiled, yet became more vigorous.

Liang Yin then instantly became limp and while Zhou Jianchen spoke, he once again pushed her to her utmost peak.

Sensing her reaction, the corners of Zhou Jianchen’s lips curled up and just continued to grind …

In front of his son, Zhou Jianchen is just a reticent impassive big tyrant, but in front of Liang Yin, he merely wants to cling to her as he suppresses his energy and be up to mischief …

He has now retired behind the scenes too and started to take over StarLight Media. Zhou Zuokang is presently too busy dealing with his and Rong Xin’s affairs, thus has no time to manage StarLight Media’s venture, while he, the boss who has always hidden behind, has no choice but to assume his role.

**********

In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed. Duan-duan is three years old and has inherited all Liang Yin and Zhou Jianchen’s good traits. He is growing more and more handsome, and becoming more and more right-minded. There’s inkling to his temperament too, getting more and more steady, and even more sensible. His pair of sharply contrasting eyes seemingly able to see through one’s heart.

Smart, with ingenuity; steady, with resolution. Such were the Zhou family’s elders’ comments once they saw him.

Now Duan-duan has become the flower of the Zhou family’s branch. The young people like his appearance and wish they could kiss him when they see him; the elders like his temperament and wish they could have such a brat in their own family; as for the children of the same age, they would start looking for their “Elder Brother Duan-duan” or “Younger Brother Duan-duan” whenever they go for a stroll.

And in that area, all are wealthy and respectable people.

Liang Yin has really raised him well. Although he is usually with Mother Zhou, she would devote herself to teach and explain to him what should be done and what should not whenever he came back.

Though Mother Zhou loves her grandson, she doesn’t spoil him too. Knowing that Liang Yin has a very good upbringing, she just let her teach him – she has always admired Liang Yin’s family.

But although everyone loves Duan-duan, Zhou Jianchen has never tended to his son much. He left him aside to grow up on his own when he was young, and now he still leaves him aside to grow up on his own.

Company affairs, film production, promotional activities … he doesn’t even have time to accompany his wife, let alone keeping his son company.

These past two years, he is still sought-after. The [Grandmaster], which was filmed for eleven months at that time, was finally released after two years of polishing and became a classic at once. His role as ‘Mr. Cheng’ climbed to the top and became an existence that was difficult for anyone to prevail. Hence, unceasing film contracts and activities that he simply has his hands full.

Without doubt, he could reject all, and what he wanted most at the moment was to be with Liang Yin.

Liang Yin now no longer accepts acting roles, because she doesn’t want to stay too long away from Duan-duan, yet she is not idle either, and involved as producer for two filmings. So while she was busy, he always wanted to accompany her.

Photos of the two traveling together are often taken, but nowadays fans are no longer content with just the two of them as they successively beg for some Duan-duan’s photos.

The Zhou family’s child is called Duan-duan, and everyone knows it.

Neither of the two have disclosed much of their child’s photos, but they inevitably would be photographed when they traveled together, so everyone knew that Brother Chen’s family has a super beautiful and cute baby.

Afterwards, being asked by many, Zhou Jianchen really took a video and uploaded it on Weibo.

– Here’s your Duan-duan.

In the video, Liang Yin was sitting in front of the french windows teaching Duan-duan to read the picture book. Zhou Jianchen called out “Yinyin” and the two people turned around. Liang Yin was smiling and looked helpless again, but Duan-duan just looked at his father quietly.

The video was merely ten seconds long and the look-up was merely two or three seconds. It could be seen as perfunctory, but it was also breathtaking.

Duan-duan was particularly quiet. Wearing a snug little light-blue down jacket and sitting on a blanket, he was extraordinarily beautiful and tranquil under the winter sunlight.

– Oh my, why is he so good-looking ah!

Everyone exclaimed as such at that time.

Duan-duan is only three years old, but that inherent and acquired temperament has already subdued everyone.

– Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Brother Chen, please post more videos and photos!

Later, everyone begged as such.

But since then, Zhou Jianchen has not posted any videos or photos of his child. What a joke, once was enough.

He continued to take Liang Yin’s photos secretly, but Duan-duan never showed up again.

So everyone knew that their Brother Chen wasn’t very fond of his own child 233333 …
