Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Go Back Overnight

Since then, his restraint, his calmness, his nonchalance had all begun to fade away, until they disappeared.

Zhou Hengguang simply did not want to admit it.

Was it really because he kissed a woman that his male hormones wouldn’t let him forget?

But now that things had gotten to this point, denying it was no longer an option.

Zhou Hengguang gave a bitter smile, knowing now was not the time for stubbornness; he couldn’t let someone steal the person he had set his heart on.

After a full day and night of travel, Zhou Hengguang finally returned to the province with Ji Fang, both of them tired and dusty. Upon arriving in the province, they didn’t go home but went straight to the hospital, where they checked into a hospital room that same evening.

Not daring to hide anything, Ji Fang gave a call to the big boss the next day.

At the breakfast table, Little sister and Sixth sister were eating their meal leisurely. Tomorrow was New Year’s Day, and the school had given them a three-day holiday; after the New Year’s holiday, it was time for the final exams, and once those were over, the summer vacation would come to an end.

The two girls couldn’t be happier.

Little sister, holding a pancake in her hand, expressed her opinion like a little adult, “I’m really curious, is Fifth sister that busy? Ever since she went to the Capital for university, she has never come back. If attending university means you can’t even come home, then I’d rather not go to a university.”

Sixth sister, who normally didn’t get along with Little sister, surprisingly nodded in agreement this time, “Me too, I absolutely want to stay at home. Otherwise, I won’t go to university,” she said, then turned to Su Wen with a flattering smile, “Hehe… I want to be with Big sister forever, never leaving her side for life.”

Zhou Hengguang’s hand, holding his chopsticks, tightened slightly, as he glanced at his wife without a word.

Su Wen felt the weight of the gaze on her profile was tremendous, the pressure was so great!

She was innocent, after all.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Su Wen put on a stern face, “Everyone has to have their own home when they grow up, how can you stick to me forever?” Then she made eye contact with Sixth sister and Little sister.

Look, brother-in-law is getting jealous.

Sixth sister felt strange inside, glancing at her brother-in-law and then at her Big sister, pouting unhappily.

Humph! Brother-in-law is so unfair! He monopolizes Big sister all day long, causing her to miss out on chances to be close to Big sister.

“Second sister, look.” Little sister went to complain to Su Qing.

Su Qing put down her chopsticks, coughed, and chastised, “Eat quickly, stop talking. After breakfast, you need to go to the children’s palace for dance class.”

Little sister gleefully made a face at Sixth sister.

Sixth sister wasn’t afraid of Big sister and liked to pester her. But she was afraid of Second sister, she was indeed the most fearful of Second sister. In their family, Second sister was the hardest to talk to. Unlike Third sister, who was the easiest to persuade.

“Oh!” Sixth sister had to obediently agree.

Su Qing’s gaze swept towards the mischievous Little sister, “And you, after eating you’ll tutor me in math, you’ve pulled the whole family’s IQ below the passing line by yourself.”

Little sister instantly deflated like a punctured ball.

Su Wen couldn’t hold back her laughter at Su Qing’s comment.

“Hahaha… That’s too funny, Little sister’s IQ would be in the negatives then?”

Zhou Hengyang’s lips curled up unconsciously into the faintest of smiles.

Little sister was about to cry upon hearing this.

“Big sister… that’s not very nice, is it?” Despite being the youngest in the family, she still cared about her dignity! She wasn’t stupid, she was smart too!

Su Qing looked at Big sister speechlessly, “Big sister, this isn’t a good time to debunk her, is it?”

“I was wrong, I won’t do it again,” Su Wen said, laughing as she surrendered, “Go on, Second sister, go on.”

To avoid giving Second sister another chance to chide them, the two little ones quickly put down their chopsticks and said in unison with wiped mouths, “We’re full now, we’re off to the children’s palace.”
