Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Are You Awake Now?

Zhou Lin returned home at eleven o’clock at night.

Lin Yu was still waiting for him, and as soon as he arrived, she immediately asked him, "What did Zhiwei say?"

Zhou Lin answered indifferently, "She agreed, she’ll come over on Saturday."

Lin Yu clasped her hands together, excitedly saying, "That’s good, that’s good, I need to prepare gifts for the two kids. Oh, and I must tell the kitchen to make some dishes the children love."

She thought for a moment, "I should call Wang Mei back. If she knows Zhiwei is coming, she will definitely be happy."

"You handle it. How about Qiqi?" Zhou Lin asked, still keeping in mind what Cheng Zhiwei had mentioned.

"She’s already asleep."

"I’m going up to check on her," Zhou Lin said as he went upstairs.

"Oh right..." Lin Yu remembered that Seo Zhenzhen was staying here today and wanted to inform Zhou Lin, but seeing that he had already gone up, she stopped herself.

Although Seo Zhenzhen was staying over, she was not allowed to bring Zhou Ruoki. Zhou Ruoki had been cared for by Lin Yu since birth, sleeping with her at night, but now that she had grown a bit, she was sleeping on her own.

At this time, as Zhou Lin went up, he wouldn’t encounter Seo Zhenzhen.

To speak or not to speak made no difference.

Zhou Lin entered the room, turning on the light.

The child was already asleep in bed, his delicate little face still showing faint traces of tears.

Had he been crying?

Zhou Lin’s mind flashed back to Cheng Zhiwei’s words. Though he wouldn’t admit how much he liked this child, he was ultimately his flesh and blood and he would never allow anyone to mistreat him.

Gently lifting the blanket, his gaze moved downward, and indeed, he saw a small bruise on Zhou Ruoki’s thigh.

And it wasn’t just one place, there were others, mostly concealed areas like the thighs, some bruises darker and others lighter.

Seo Zhenzhen!

She deserved damnation!

Zhou Lin’s pupils narrowed, anger crystallizing in his eyes.

"Daddy." A soft voice sounded as Zhou Ruoki woke up, rubbing his eyes, he scooted to the side, probably thinking Zhou Lin lifted the blanket to lay beside him.

Zhou Lin tucked him in properly, "Qiqi, be good, sleep, daddy just wanted to check on you."

Zhou Ruoki obediently closed his eyes.

His compliant, pleasing behavior made Zhou Lin instantly think of Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing, who were lively and adorable, able to do whatever they wanted; their mother would patiently reason with them and raised them very well.

He thought Cheng Zhiwei’s words meant she saw him as an unfit father.

He went out to have a servant fetch some ointment, and personally applied it to Zhou Ruoki.

Zhou Ruoki was overwhelmed by the affection, his eyelashes trembling like a frightened bunny, "Thank you, daddy."

Zhou Lin, his gaze deepened, asked him, "Why didn’t you tell daddy?"

He rarely had such patience with him, and Zhou Ruoki felt happy, covertly observing Zhou Lin’s expressions, then carefully shaking his head, "It doesn’t hurt."

Zhou Lin paused, understanding that this was not the response he wanted, but he realized Zhou Ruoki probably wouldn’t blame Seo Zhenzhen.

But this only made Seo Zhenzhen’s reprehensible behavior stand out even more.

Zhou Lin took several deep breaths, restraining himself from showing a terrifying expression in front of the child, finished applying the medicine, and then tenderly read him a story until Zhou Ruoki truly fell asleep before leaving.

He returned to the master bedroom, and as for Seo Zhenzhen, he would have a stern talk with her tomorrow.

Pushing open the door, yet to turn on the light, his back was suddenly embraced, the voice belonging to Seo Zhenzhen was especially seductive, "Ah Lin."

Zhou Lin’s expression sank into darkness, the anger that had been moderated by Zhou Ruoki’s endurance now exploding completely.

He mercilessly, grabbing Seo Zhenzhen’s wrist, yanked her harshly away.

Seo Zhenzhen cried out in pain, her back slamming hard against the door, making a dull "thud."

The light in the bedroom was turned on, exposing Seo Zhenzhen’s body.

She was only wearing a red low-cut slip nightgown, her snowy shoulders and a large expanse of white cleavage exposed under the light.

The nightgown length reached only to her upper thighs, revealing a glimpse of hidden scenery.

Seo Zhenzhen bit her teeth and pounced again, trying to tear Zhou Lin’s clothes, and cried out frantically, "Ah Lin, let’s have a brother or sister for Qiqi."

Zhou Lin’s eyes were filled with icy coldness and disgust. He grabbed Seo Zhenzhen’s wrist and threw her out of the room, furious, "Who allowed you to come in?"

Seo Zhenzhen picked herself up from the floor, her lips trembling with grievance, "Ah Lin, Qiqi is already so big, why won’t you accept me? Qiqi also wants his parents to be together, we should give him a happy family."

At the mention of this, Zhou Lin couldn’t suppress his anger, which scorched his rationality.

He coldly dragged Seo Zhenzhen up and pulled her down the stairs.

Seo Zhenzhen, barefoot and lightly dressed, stepped on the floor, where many servants were downstairs. Seo Zhenzhen wanted to climb into Zhou Lin’s bed, but she wasn’t bold enough to let others admire her body.

"Ah Lin, Ah Lin, I was wrong," she pleaded pathetically, "I know I was wrong."

She struggled fiercely.

But Zhou Lin was utterly unyielding.

The noise escalated, and Lin Yu came upstairs first. Seeing the scene, she instantly understood and furiously scolded, "Shameless bitch."

"Mom, go to the room and stay with Qiqi. Don’t come out no matter what happens," Zhou Lin said coldly.

Lin Yu hurried upstairs.

Downstairs, the servants had already dispersed, none daring to stay there.

Zhou Lin dragged Seo Zhenzhen all the way to the living room, then picked up a bucket of water from the kitchen and poured it over her.

The thin slip nightgown clung tightly to Seo Zhenzhen’s body, revealing every curve, barely different from being bare.

Seo Zhenzhen sat on the ground, her long legs pressed tightly together, shivering and hugging herself, her wet hair sticking to her cheeks, "Ah Lin, don’t treat me like this."

She was extremely embarrassed.

Because she knew there must be people hiding in the corners watching the spectacle.

Zhou Lin lit a cigarette, the bluish-white smoke swirling around his cold expression, his stern features sharply defined.

He sat on the sofa, looking down on Seo Zhenzhen from above, "Sobered up yet?"

Seo Zhenzhen trembled, biting her teeth to answer, "I’ve sobered up."

"Seo Zhenzhen, I’ve warned you, if you live here, you are to keep in place and not meddle in things that aren’t your business," he said.

"Ah Lin, I didn’t do anything," she responded.

"Didn’t do anything?" Zhou Lin said with extreme disgust, "You secretly incited Qiqi to say those things, and you hit and kicked him. Do you think I’m a fool to be fooled?" Zhou Lin had no patience to play dumb with her.

Seo Zhenzhen then realized that Zhou Lin had found out.

She lowered her head pitifully, masking the fear in her eyes.

She didn’t like Zhou Ruoki because that wasn’t Zhou Lin’s child.

Over the past three years, she had always wanted to have a child with Zhou Lin, but not only did he rarely come back here, whenever he did, he was never pleasant to her.

Even because of a past record, he was extremely guarded against her.

She could never find the opportunity.

Originally, she had planned to look for an opportunity gradually, but Cheng Zhiwei had come back.

The way Zhou Lin looked at her made Seo Zhenzhen realize, she couldn’t wait anymore.

That’s why she took a risk tonight.

She just didn’t believe a man who had abstained for three years could endure it.
