Chapter 932: Chapter 932
He gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred thousand per job!"
Zhixi readily agreed, "No problem!"
She knew that He Jingyao’s assets had now turned into astronomical figures, so two hundred thousand per job... really wasn’t an issue, yep.
"You... are you really rich?" Xiaozhou couldn’t help but ask.
He intentionally overcharged, but didn’t expect her to agree without hesitation.
"Uh... I don’t have that much money," Zhixi thought for a moment, "but I’ll work hard to earn it!"
Xiaozhou had a look of disbelief, his gaze falling on her swollen belly. He clenched his teeth, ultimately resisting the urge to comment.
"Alright then, if you need anything, just call me from next door." He looked as if he could barely stand, "I’m going to get some rest first."
"Go on, then." Zhixi looked at his state, really worried, "Come over for a meal when you have time."
Just as she finished speaking, she received a disapproving look from He Jingyao.
She quickly bit her lip, but what was said couldn’t be taken back...
Fortunately, Xiaozhou was too groggy at the moment to take her polite invitation to heart. He staggered out, returning next door.
Zhixi felt a pang of sympathy, "These past three days, he’s been through so much."
"I think he’s been scared by you," He Jingyao lifted her chin, amusement in his eyes, "A pregnant woman telling him you’d work hard to earn money? Now I can’t shake off the ’irresponsible’ label, can I? You’ve turned a bit naughty, huh?"
Zhixi sheepishly said, "I was just trying to go along with you."
That ’irresponsible’ label... was something he put on himself.
He Jingyao chuckled softly again, closing his laptop, then scooped her up horizontally, "Alright, let’s go to bed."
The next day, after Zhixi got up, she found that Ziyi had come over.
She was sitting face to face with Xiaobao, weaving something in her hands, and Xiaobao watched with great interest.
Before long, she finished weaving and happily handed it to Xiaobao, "Auntie made this for you."
"Auntie, you’re amazing!" Xiaobao beamed, holding the cross-stitch.
Ziyi also burst into a happy smile. When she turned her head and saw Zhixi, she exclaimed, "Sister-in-law!"
Seeing her about to jump up, Zhixi quickly stopped her, "Take it slow, no rush."
She smiled bashfully and stood properly, "Sister-in-law, where’s my brother? I have something I’d like to ask for your and my brother’s help with."
Just as Ziyi finished speaking, He Jingyao returned from the balcony.
"What is it?" He Jingyao raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Uh, brother... I want to go to university," she said, lowering her head embarrassedly. Read complete versıon only at novel⚑fire.net
"That’s a good thing!" Zhixi’s eyes lit up.
"But... mom doesn’t agree." She twisted her fingers, "Mom is afraid I’ll be bullied, so... brother, can you arrange for a reliable bodyguard to attend classes with me, to give mom peace of mind?"
"University? I want to go to university too! Auntie, I’ll go with you!" Xiaobao eagerly raised his hand.
But his chubby little hand was caught by Zhixi, who sternly looked at her son, "How old are you, you haven’t even gone to kindergarten yet, and you want to go to university? Don’t joke around!"
Xiaobao pouted, not saying another word.
"A reliable bodyguard..." He Jingyao mused slightly, "That’s not difficult, but what kind of bodyguard do you want? Male or female, what age, what personality?"
He Ziyi blushed slightly, quickly glancing at Zhixi.
