Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Feeling a Bit Unbalanced

Liang Shiyu opened her mouth to speak, but hesitated upon seeing Xie Linchuan, and only after a long while did she continue, "I just feel that mom is very enthusiastic towards my younger siblings."

What she didn’t say was that she felt her mother-in-law valued Xu Jinzhi even more.

Although she had never seen the Jade Bracelet, Liang Shiyu felt that jade must certainly be more valuable than diamonds!

Clearly, Xie Linchuan was the Xie Family’s heir apparent, and she was supposed to be the senior daughter-in-law in the household.

Shouldn’t the grandmother have passed down the most valuable items to her first?

As she thought this, Liang Shiyu kept telling herself that she wasn’t really coveting her mother-in-law’s belongings, but that she just felt she should be the one receiving more attention.

Xie Linchuan, however, didn’t understand what Liang Shiyu truly meant deep down.

He softly reassured, "Don’t overthink it, you’ve already left the entertainment industry as they wanted, and they have no issues with you now."

In Xie Linchuan’s view, although his parents initially didn’t support their relationship, they had truly accepted Liang Shiyu by now and showed no intention to make things difficult for her.

Having grown up in such a wealthy and influential family, he could completely understand his parents’ initial stance.

Now that they were married, Xie Linchuan felt his parents had become adequately accommodating.

Liang Shiyu knew that Xie Linchuan hadn’t grasped the real meaning behind her words, and although she wanted to say more, she feared that being too blunt would make Xie Linchuan think she was speaking out of line.

After mulling it over for a long time, she continued, "Linchuan, I didn’t mean anything by it, I just worry that my parents, not liking me, might affect you."

Liang Shiyu’s words were artfully crafted, to the extent that even the driver couldn’t help but catch a glimpse of her in the rearview mirror, though he quickly shifted his gaze away.

He was just a driver, and it was better not to offend such a woman.

If Xie Linchuan hadn’t understood Liang Shiyu’s meaning at first, he certainly did now.

Xie Linchuan instinctively wanted to argue, but upon looking at Liang Shiyu, the words he had intended to say somehow couldn’t be voiced; he just looked at her with a complex expression.

Before Liang Shiyu had become pregnant, it wasn’t that they were opposed to him being with her; they had simply put forth a condition.

Either Liang Shiyu had to leave the entertainment industry, or he had to leave the company.

Seeing Xie Linchuan’s expression turn complex, Liang Shiyu knew that he had finally understood her, and felt a slight sense of relief.

She forced a slight smile and softly reassured him again, "Don’t think too much, it’s just pregnancy hormones and having nothing else to do that make me overthink."

"Mom doesn’t like me much, I’m not unaware of it, but seeing how much she likes my younger sister, I just feel a little unbalanced inside."

Liang Shiyu spoke half-truthfully, as if she really was just in a bad mood and couldn’t help overthinking.

Xie Linchuan also snapped out of it, and realized Liang Shiyu was probably just overthinking; initially, when his father had given him an ultimatum, it was actually with the fixed intention to make Shiyu leave the entertainment industry.

Concerning Shiyu mentioning that mom was warmer towards Xu Jinzhi, that was not unjustifiable; his mom had never liked Shiyu from the start, and now that they were married, the fact that she wasn’t picking quarrels was already quite commendable.

Reflecting on this, Xie Linchuan felt a pang of sympathy for Liang Shiyu, who had endured much hardship to be with him.

Xie Linchuan held Liang Shiyu’s hand, comforting her, "Don’t think too much. Mom has had bad experiences with stars in the entertainment industry, so she has always disliked people from the entertainment circle. Once she truly understands you, she will accept you."

"Okay," Liang Shiyu nodded in agreement, but she still looked somewhat aggrieved.

Xie Linchuan had told Liang Shiyu about He Shuying being schemed against by a third-rate celebrity years ago, but Liang Shiyu felt speechless. It wasn’t her who did it, so why take it out on her now?

On the other side,

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan were also on their way home. They weren’t talking because Xu Jinzhi was chatting with Song You about the Song Family urging Song You to go on blind dates.

The reason for the blind dates was that Xu Jinzhi, who was very close to him, had already gotten married, and it was time for Song You to start preparing as well.

So, Song You was currently "ranting" at Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi was both amused and helpless, but she knew that Song You wouldn’t be threatened by the Song Family, so she didn’t take it too seriously.

However, as she chatted with Song You, the topic started to digress.

Xu Jinzhi wasn’t shy, or rather, it depended on who she was talking to. With Song You, she dared to say anything.

As they chatted, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but glance over at Xie Yanchuan next to her.

Xie Yanchuan was driving and noticed Xu Jinzhi looking at him, so he casually asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing," Xu Jinzhi replied without thinking.

But she continued to look at Xie Yanchuan, her gaze, how should it be described? It was decidedly not innocent.

Xie Yanchuan had to drive and didn’t delve deeper into what Xu Jinzhi might mean. Seeing that she didn’t elaborate, he didn’t ask further.

After returning home, Xu Jinzhi had nothing else to do, so she simply went back to the bedroom for a nap, with Xie Yanchuan naturally accompanying her.

When they woke up, it wasn’t long before they had to prepare for dinner. As it was cold, Xu Jinzhi had no intention of going out after eating.

They watched a movie together with Xie Yanchuan until it was about time to rest, but before sleeping, they indulged in a shamelessly intimate exchange.

The next day was the return home visit.

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan went back together, Xu Zhen’s attitude was lukewarm, but Xie Yanchuan knew he deserved it, so he wasn’t upset at all.

Xu Jinzhi kept sticking to Xu Zhen, coquettishly, until she finally melted away Xu Zhen’s irritation.

After the home visit, Xu Jinzhi rested for another day, and she and Xie Yanchuan still didn’t go out.

Xu Jinzhi was leaving on a business trip tomorrow, and she sternly warned Xie Yanchuan that tonight he couldn’t lay a hand on her again. It had been three days in a row; it was time for a proper rest!

Although Xie Yanchuan felt somewhat regretful, thinking of Xu Jinzhi’s hard work on her business trip, he agreed.

In the evening, Xie Yanchuan helped Xu Jinzhi pack her luggage and reminded her of some precautions, telling her to take care of herself while abroad.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan’s deep care, Xu Jinzhi was profoundly moved. She couldn’t help but lean in to kiss him and didn’t forget to passionately declare, "Xie Yanchuan, I really am falling more and more in love with you."
