Plunder

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Wish Fulfilled Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Wish Fulfilled After dinner, Zhou Jin’an went to the study again.

Qiao En instructed the servants to prepare a room for Su Nian alone.

“You can temporarily stay at home for this period, and once everything is settled, I’ll have Jin’an help you look out for a house.”

Qiao En completely assumed the demeanor of an elder sister.

Su Nian wanted to play a role with her, so she decided to play out this drama to the end.

In a cautious and humble manner, Su Nian stood up and hugged Qiao En tightly, “Sister, thank you. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do. Don’t worry, once I am settled, I will move out immediately.”

The door to the study was slightly ajar, and everything outside was heard by Zhou Jin’an.

At that moment, he had no heart to work and just sat at his desk brooding alone.

Both he and Qiao En knew that Su Nian’s return was for revenge. Logically, they should have sent Su Nian away from Rong City to ensure the safety of the child and Qiao En.

Especially at this moment, with Qiao En over six months pregnant and him busy with work, he was really spread too thin. If Su Nian took advantage of this, it would be indefensible.

Not only did they place Su Nian into the Nanchen Group, but Qiao En even let Su Nian stay at their home. Wasn’t this bringing the wolf into the den?

These issues were things that Qiao En had not discussed with him.

He understood that Qiao En had to consider Auntie Jiang’s feelings, but they couldn’t just consider the elder’s feelings without facing the current reality.

Zhou Jin’an stayed in the study until very late, and Auntie Jiang personally cooked dinner. Qiao En called him several times before Zhou Jin’an finally came out to eat.

His expression was as grim as before, and while the women talked at the table, he did not join in and just ate a few bites claiming he was busy with work before returning to the study.

“Brother-in-law is really dedicated; he’s too busy, his health won’t be able to take it.”

Su Nian’s gaze constantly followed Zhou Jin’an, but now in Chu Garden, in front of Auntie Jiang, she didn’t dare to make a scene.

Auntie Jiang patted Su Nian’s leg, knowing about Su Nian’s past relationship with Zhou Jin’an. However, Su Nian had told her that she had let go of the past and pleaded with her to help her with this matter. Soft-hearted, that’s why Auntie Jiang reluctantly brought it up.

“Mom, I feel sorry for Sister. She’s pregnant now, and even if Brother-in-law is busy, he should spend more time with her. Mom, you should find some time to remind Brother-in-law; I only have this one sister, and I can’t let her suffer too much.”

Su Nian pouted, seeming to stand up for Qiao En.

Qiao En sat there smiling, but even though she was smiling, one could feel a chill emanating from her.

“Ah, this marriage is as good as nonexistent. Look, two children have tied me down. I had said before, after giving birth to Nian’en I would go back to work, but now Nian’en has started elementary school, and I’m still at home. This time I can’t depend on him; once this child is born, I definitely must go to work.”

Auntie Jiang held Qiao En’s hand and said, “You can’t say it like that. A family is the responsibility of two people, Jin’an is busy working outside, and you are taking care of children at home, which is also work. Both outside and inside the house need mutual support to stabilize a home. For now, don’t think about work and just take good care of the child in your womb.”

After dinner, Qiao En talked with Auntie Jiang and Su Nian until late.

Later, after settling Auntie Jiang down, Qiao En finally came out.

Su Nian also headed to her own bedroom. Now that Auntie Jiang was not around, Qiao En dropped the act, and her expression immediately turned cold.
