Chapter 228: Chapter 224: It’s So Uncomfortable to Hold It In!【-27 Updates】

Xie Jingchen’s return home was quite abrupt.

Just yesterday morning, Zhang Shanni had just finalized the arrangements for the two elders with Mr. Xie, and the very next evening, as everyone was getting ready for dinner, they saw Xie Jingchen opening the front door with his keys—

"Dad, Mom?" Not only was the family across startled, but Xie Jingchen himself was also taken aback!

This time, after he completed his mission, he immediately sought out a good friend, underwent a quick check-up, and got special approval to come home. Annoyingly, no one had informed him that his family and younger sister had all come over!

"Third Brother?" It was Xie Jingzi who snapped back to reality first, shouting excitedly and startling the bewildered elders back into the moment.

"Ah, Shitou, you’re finally back!" Zhou Xiuhua finally came to her senses, and in her excitement immediately got up and rushed toward Xie Jingchen.

Xie Tiesheng just watched, his head throbbing! He had to hurry after her, shouting repeatedly: "Wife, what’s the rush, Third won’t run away once he’s back!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Shanni was holding her belly, her eyes reddening as she watched the warm reunion of father and son, mother and son, brother and sister.

It was Xiaoqi, however, who was very sensitive, hiding fearfully behind Zhang Shanni and timidly calling out, "Second Aunt~"

Xiao Si was also shocked by the residual aura of blood on Xie Jingchen, but as a bigger boy, and quite familiar with his Second Uncle, he remembered him better than his younger sister.

Despite being scared, he was still able to comfort Xiaoqi by holding her hand tightly, and whispered to her, "Sister, don’t be afraid, it’s Uncle who has come back, he’s our dad’s brother, he’s not a bad person, and won’t harm Xiaoqi~"

"Mhm~ Second Aunt!" Xiaoqi nodded, yet still clung to one of Zhang Shanni’s thighs.

Being small with short legs, clinging to a thigh was just right.

Zhang Shanni was used to the little girl’s habit of grabbing her thigh whenever, because her own health was still good, and knowing the little girl relied on her due to a lack of security, she didn’t want to add to her emotional burden, allowing her to stay close and show affection.

Zhang Shanni always had a soft spot for the adorable and childlike Xiaoqi.

Over here, Xie Jingchen finally managed to calm his mother down before sitting down on the couch with his father.

Xie Jingchen looked up and saw his little wife’s leg being gripped by the little girl, who was staring at him defensively, hugging his wife’s thigh tightly—

Zhang Shanni wanted to walk over, but as soon as Xiaoqi saw Xie Jingchen glance their way, she became even more nervous, her tiny body nearly trembling. Zhang Shanni didn’t have the heart to push her away.

It would be unseemly if she started to cry.

"Brother Chen~" Seeing her husband, Zhang Shanni felt a twinge of sadness.

It reminded her of the nights she had spent alone, having leg cramps with no one to help her, wanting to turn over and feeling so heavy, being hungry and reluctant to get up and eat in the middle of the night. After all, with elderly people at home, any movement could easily wake them.

She was usually a sound sleeper, but if she woke up in the night, the elderly would generally not be able to go back to sleep.

Although living with family members brought many inconveniences, Zhang Shanni, who had had enough of loneliness, preferred a lively household.
