Lu An nodded. He bent down to pick up Jin Nian and carried her into the guest room.
Jin Nian felt extremely safe in Lu An’s arms. She was too sleepy. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep before she could even change out of her pajamas.
Lu An smiled and shook his head. Then, he took out a set of pajamas from his suitcase and gently helped Jin Nian change into her pajamas. He covered her with the blanket and sat by the bed to watch her sleeping face.
At this moment, in the dining room downstairs, Aunt Xi sighed. “I didn’t expect Lu An to treat his wife so well. He dotes on her like a little princess. When the two of you can learn this, you’ll definitely be able to find a wife.”
Gu Yu snorted coldly. “It’s good that I’m single, but women will lower my quality of life. The original Lu An was a Whale CEO, but after getting married, he became a nanny. He’s clearly a business genius, but he went home to take care of his children. No one will believe it if I tell them.”
Auntie Xi rolled her eyes at him. “What do you know? What Lu An did was responsible. Giving birth isn’t just a woman’s business. Shouldn’t a man be responsible?”
“You guys are chauvinistic. That’s why you can’t find a wife. It’s all my fault for not educating you well!” Aunt Zhen said seriously.
At this time, Gu Yao cleared his throat and said, “Mom and Aunt are right. We should find a woman to have children with. But I don’t want to think about marriage for the time being.”
The marriage of members of a large family like the Gu family was not as simple as the marriage of ordinary people. There were many interests involved. For example, Chen Qingzhen and Chen Qingxi married into the Gu family for the sake of marriage and to stabilize the Chen family’s business.
Ever since Gu Yao and Gu Yu came of age, some families had been eyeing the position of the two Mrs. Gu. No matter who they married, as long as they could marry into the Gu family, it would be beneficial to their families.
Chen Qingzhen frowned. “Why can’t the two of you fall in love properly and get married and have children like Lu An? Do you have to have a child with an unknown birth mother?”
Although Chen Qingzhen accepted that Gu Yao would bring back a child one day, she preferred Gu Yao to truly love a woman. Only then would his marriage be happy.
Gu Yao put down his chopsticks and said lightly, “I don’t have any plans to get married in the next two years. If my mother and aunt want me to have a child, I can only find a woman to give birth for me. But I won’t allow her to marry me.”
Gu Yu looked up at Gu Yao and chuckled. “I’m different from my brother. I refuse children, and I refuse marriage!”
Chen Qingxi slammed her chopsticks on the table and looked at the two of them angrily.
At this moment, a blond man walked in from the door. Hearing the noise in the dining room, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who provoked my wife?”
Chen Qingxi looked up at the person who had come. She immediately stood up and threw herself into the man’s arms. She said in a very aggrieved manner, “My dear! Your son is angry with me again. He said that he won’t get married or have children in the future!”
The blond man immediately looked at Gu Yu and said coldly, “Apologies to your mother. Don’t force me to do it.”
“I’m already so old, yet you still want to hit me. Do I not care about my face?” Gu Yu’s lips twitched helplessly. In the end, he admitted his mistake obediently. “Mom, I’m sorry. I said something wrong.”
At this moment, Lu An came downstairs. When he saw this scene, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at Gu Yu.
Previously, Lu An had been living in the Gu family in M Nation. This was not the first time he had seen such a scene. Every time, it would end with Gu Yu apologizing. If he dared to say anything harsh to Aunt Xi, he would be immediately chased out of the house by his father.
“Lu An, you’re here too!” The blond man waved at Lu An enthusiastically. He looked like an American, but he had a Chinese name called Gu Shao.
“Uncle Gu.” Lu An greeted him with a smile.
Gu Shao went forward and patted his shoulder. He smiled and said, “I came back late today. I heard that you brought your wife home. Why didn’t I see her?”
“She’s pregnant, and her body is a little weak, so she went back to her room to rest,” Lu An explained.
Gu Yu glanced at Lu An with a complicated expression. Then, he turned and left.
Lu An was confused. He seemed to have seen a trace of hostility in Gu Yu’s eyes. Many years ago, when Lu An came to M Nation, he had a conflict with Gu Yu at the beginning. However, the two of them became no discord, no concord, and soon became good friends.
Since then, they have been earning money together in Country M, eating, drinking, and having fun. Their relationship had always been very good, but Lu An had clearly felt the other party’s hostility just now.
Lu An thought about it carefully and roughly understood why. It was because the Gu family had been urging them to get married recently, and Lu An had brought Jin Nian, who was pregnant with her second child, to visit them. This had put the Gu brothers, who were already resistant to marriage, in deep trouble..
