Chapter 110 Love Cannot Be the Only Thing
"The feelings between us are mutual attraction based on love, not just lust at first sight."
"As for the future, life is so long. If I said I would love Yueyue until the end of my life, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me. The only way I can show my love for Yueyue is to do my best in the present. I will also prove it with my actions in the future."
His tone was quite solemn, and Zhu Tingyue and her mother were both moved by his attitude.
Zhu Mingchuan wanted to say something more, but was kicked by his mother next to him. He glared at Shen Yanqiu with dissatisfaction before finally saying, "Since things have come to this, I won't say anything more."
"But Shen Yanqiu, remember this: I will always be watching you. If you ever make Yueyue sad, I will make sure she leaves you immediately!"
"As you just said, Yueyue is free and has her own thoughts. Once you stop loving her, she will never stay with you."
"Young man, let me give you one last piece of advice: love alone cannot last! Life needs love, but it cannot have only love!"
Zhu Mingchuan's words, spoken from someone with experience, carry a high degree of credibility. Moreover, his mother was nodding in agreement.
Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu did not blindly refute. Their words, seemingly making things difficult for Shen Yanqiu, were actually for their daughter's future.
Zhu Tingyue was moved but also saddened. Her parents were the best!
She stepped forward and hugged the two of them, her gratitude overflowing.
Shen Yanqiu slowly flattered Zhu Mingchuan: "I know you're doing this for our own good. Don't worry, with you and Mom as role models, we'll definitely be just as good as you!"
His words instantly extinguished much of Zhu Mingchuan's pent-up anger. This kid has potential!
I wish my mother great comfort; Shen Yanqiu is indeed a remarkable child.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Mingchuan looked at him again with a slightly gentler gaze, though his tone was still somewhat stern: "Hmph, don't just talk the talk, you have to walk the walk!"
Seeing that his attitude was softening, Shen Yanqiu quickly pressed her advantage: "I'm learning from you! I will love Yueyue as much as you love Mom, and I will never let her suffer any grievances!"
To be honest, Shen Yanqiu's words hit Zhu Mingchuan's nail on the head. All the difficulties he made were for his daughter's sake.
He had cherished his daughter like a precious jewel since she was a child, and had been her guide for over twenty years. Now, she was about to embark on her own journey to find her own path in life! There wasn't much he could do, so in the end, he would simply point her in the right direction.
Shen Yanqiu did not receive a reply from Zhu Mingchuan after he finished speaking, but wasn't his silence a form of tacit agreement?
I hope Mom's emotions, which had been up and down all day, have finally settled down. Whether she's at ease or not is another matter, but at least her daughter didn't have to suffer.
Thinking this, she smiled slightly and said to Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu, "Let's go eat. We must be hungry after a long day!"
Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu followed her to the restaurant, while Zhu Mingchuan was left behind. By the time he came to his senses, the others were already seated.
The food on the table smelled delicious, but Zhu Tingyue still asked upon seeing it, "Aunt Li, why is the food so bland today?"
Just as she was about to leave, Aunt Li stopped and looked at the overly familiar young man with surprise, but still answered her question: "Mr. Shen, this was done according to Madam's instructions!"
Why did Mom ask Aunt Li to cook such bland food? Zhu Tingyue looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.
The moment Zhu's mother heard her ask Li Sao a question, she sighed: "She's still young and doesn't understand anything!"
At this point, I could only patiently explain to my daughter, "It's better for pregnant women to eat light meals. Oily foods not only make you gain weight easily, but they can also have a negative impact on the baby. From today onwards, at least half of the meals at home will be light!"
Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu hadn't expected this, and both showed surprised expressions after hearing Zhu's mother's words.
Zhu Tingyue pressed on, asking, "What if I don't want to eat anything bland?"
Zhu's mother rolled her eyes at her, as if to say: "You still want a child like this? You don't understand anything!"
Zhu Mingchuan also supported his mother's approach. He nodded and said, "Yes, your mother is right. You have to watch what you eat during pregnancy. Don't believe what they say online about eating whatever you want. You'll regret it when you get to the later stages of pregnancy!"
He spoke with such conviction that Zhu Tingyue was quite curious as to how her father knew so much, since he had only just found out about the child.
Zhu Tingyue blinked her curious eyes and asked Zhu Mingchuan, "Dad, how do you know so much?"
Zhu Mingchuan reached out and tapped her head in the air, sighed, and looking at her bewildered eyes, he had the same thought as his mother: She's still too young!
"That's what the doctor said when your mother was pregnant with you, so we have to listen to the doctor!"
Zhu Tingyue was surprised that he still remembered something from more than 20 years ago, and asked in astonishment, "It's been so many years, and you still remember?"
Zhu Mingchuan looked serious and turned to look at his mother, his eyes filled with heartache: "Of course, your mother suffered a lot to give birth to you. I can't share her burden, I can only remember the doctor's instructions and take good care of her."
Zhu's mother was surprised that he still remembered, but in front of the child, she didn't want Zhu Mingchuan to say it. She put some food on his plate and said gently, "Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!"
Zhu Mingchuan lost the opportunity to express his love and sincerity to his wife.
Shen Yanqiu, sensing the situation, chimed in, "I think I've done a good job in this regard. I will never let Yueyue suffer the pain of childbirth. I'll take care of the baby!"
That's true, after all, the baby is in his belly right now!
Zhu Mingchuan was unhappy; he felt that Shen Yanqiu was mocking him!
He quickly finished the food his mother had put on his plate, made sure the bowl was empty, and then put it down. He said in a serious tone, "What's there to be proud of? If I could get pregnant, I could give my wife ten or eight children! She could just enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by children, while I would have to bear all the pain!"
Zhu's mother and Zhu Tingyue couldn't help but laugh at his righteous and proud tone!
Zhu Mingchuan couldn't understand why his wife was laughing at his heartfelt confession. Was it really that funny?
He looked at Shen Yanqiu and found that he was keeping his head down and not saying a word, but his shoulders were shaking, as if he was also smiling!
He still has the nerve to laugh at himself? So what if he's pregnant? He'd better have a whole football team of kids then! I hope his family can afford to support him!
Useless man!
Zhu Mingchuan slammed his chopsticks down on the table and began his usual conversation with his mother: "Wife, why are you laughing at me? Don't you love me anymore? Am I getting old? Am I no longer pretty? Or have you fallen for someone younger?"
His words were getting more and more absurd, so Zhu's mother would glare at him occasionally, refusing to answer his boring and repetitive questions every day.
