Chapter 357: Chapter 357: For the Two Kids, It’s Also Something I Should Do

Two people were chatting inside, and just as Zhou Lin sat down on the sofa holding Cheng Xing, Cheng Xing woke up.

Her eyes were crystal clear and full of the naive innocence unique to children.

Zhou Lin, afraid she would cry, instantly stiffened his arm, staring back at her with wide eyes, daring not to move a bit.

After a while, Cheng Xing’s face turned red and she struggled a bit.

Fearing she would fall, yet not wanting to let go of the tender cuddliness of his little daughter he seldom held, Zhou Lin instinctively tightened his arms.

Unable to move, Cheng Xing’s little face soon turned bright red.

She stared straight at Zhou Lin.

She then pursed her lips slightly and said in a delicate voice, "I want to get down."

The thought that it was his blood-related daughter speaking to him so softly melted Zhou Lin’s heart completely, making it difficult for him to let go.

He replied as gently as possible, "Dad... Uncle will hold you a bit longer, wait for mom to come."

"I want Mommy." Cheng Xing’s eyes became teary, and her little face turned even redder.

"Mommy is busy, Uncle will hold you a bit longer."

"I want Mommy..."

Her crying was meek and gentle, as if saying another word would be bullying to her.

Zhou Lin had no choice but to carry her and go find Cheng Zhiwei.

Cheng Zhiwei could guess what had happened just by looking at Cheng Xing’s condition, and quickly took over and carried her into the restroom.

Suddenly, Zhou Lin realized what was happening and couldn’t help but laugh and feel a bit heartbroken.

The child needed to use the restroom, but she’d rather hold it in and find Cheng Zhiwei than ask for his help.

Xu Tian had already dried her tears and stood beside Zhou Lin, her tone mocking, "Are you jealous?"

Zhou Lin glanced at her indifferently, not taking her seriously.

Xu Tian added, "You can’t even tell when a child needs to go to the restroom, some stand-in dad President Zhou is."

She was utterly sarcastic.

By then, Cheng Zhiwei had already come out holding Cheng Xing.

Zhou Lin said indifferently, "I have Lawyer Seo’s business card, I suppose you don’t need me to introduce you."

Xu Tian immediately clenched her teeth and said, "I need it."

Lawyer Seo was a bigshot in the legal field, and if he could help with the divorce, then she and He Lanzhi could definitely get divorced.

"A divorce within one month, and you’ll get a divorce settlement." Zhou Lin mentioned casually.

Suddenly, Xu Tian realized, "You aren’t planning on bankrupting He Family Company immediately?"

"It doesn’t matter." Zhou Lin lowered his gaze, a trace of coldness at his lips.

A day and a month made no difference.

It was just that the He family would be on tenterhooks for a month.

He didn’t care, after all, they insisted on protecting He Lanzhi, who was unrepentant.

Xu Tian watched Zhou Lin with a complex look, her voice low, "Thank you, but don’t think you can use this to get me to speak well of you in front of Zhiwei."

Zhou Lin sneered, "Wasn’t counting on it."

He knew how close Xu Tian and Cheng Zhiwei were, and he hadn’t intended to use this situation.

But if Cheng Zhiwei knew, it might change her opinion of him, which would be good.

Xu Tian still lowered her head and said thank you again, earnestly.

Cheng Zhiwei came over and, sensing something strange in the air but seeing Xu Tian’s face looked much better, not like they had been arguing, she felt quite relieved.

Cheng Xing’s fever had subsided, and Cheng Zhiwei had changed her into clean clothes and let her go play with Cheng Yang.

The doorbell rang, and Cheng Zhiwei went to open the door, pausing in surprise, "Aunt Wang?"

Wang Mei stood at the doorway, her smile radiant, "Young Madam... Zhiwei."

She corrected herself, "Are you unhappy to see me? Not letting me in?"

"Of course not, I’m just too happy." Cheng Zhiwei welcomed Wang Mei in.

Wang Mei nodded at Zhou Lin, "Young Master."

Zhou Lin responded with a subdued "Mhm," then said to Cheng Zhiwei, "I’ve left the care of the children to Aunt Wang, she’s the most suitable."

Cheng Zhiwei opened her mouth in amazement, "But I remember Aunt Wang had resigned and didn’t want to continue."

"I came by my own decision." Wang Mei voluntarily explained, having taken care of Cheng Zhiwei for a long time in Sparkling Sky City, she uttered what she shouldn’t, her heart ached for Cheng Zhiwei, she treated her like her own daughter.

After Cheng Zhiwei had an incident, she was disheartened and decided to leave the Zhou Family. The last time Cheng Zhiwei returned, Lin Yu had called her, she had gone, but missed Cheng Zhiwei by a step and only found out she had been mistreated by Seo Zhenzhen.

If she had been there, that wouldn’t have happened.

So this time, Zhou Lin merely called to ask if she was willing, and she agreed without any conditions.

"But your family..." Cheng Zhiwei was both surprised and delighted, having Wang Mei would be best, she was the trustworthy Aunt Wang.

But she also remembered that Wang Mei had her own shop to run.

"They can manage it on their own." Wang Mei looked affectionately at the children, "As long as you don’t send me away."

"I... thank you for coming." What else could Cheng Zhiwei say?

Wang Mei was more suitable than any nanny.

Zhou Lin, watching, felt particularly at ease and instructed Wang Mei to take good care of the children and speak up if she needed anything.

He had a meeting and had to leave first.

He had been perfectly balanced lately, appearing when Cheng Zhiwei needed and leaving at the right time.

Never overstepping or making up excuses to stay.

Cheng Zhiwei walked him to the door.

As Zhou Lin left, he looked down and said, "Call me if you need anything, don’t always think it’s troubling, after all, for the two children, it’s the least I can do."

Cheng Zhiwei paused, looked up at him, "Regardless, thank you for Aunt Wang."

"Mhm, I’m going. Be safe."

"Mhm."

Their calm interactions were rare, and times like this made Zhou Lin feel like everything he did was worthwhile.

After closing the door, Cheng Zhiwei stood at the doorway for a while before returning to the living room.

Wang Mei was already getting along with the children, being a person with great affinity, and all three children liked her.

Xu Tian pulled Cheng Zhiwei aside, a helpless envy in her eyes, "If only Zhou Lin had been this nice to you from the start."

Cheng Zhiwei remained silent, everything Zhou Lin did was under the guise of doing good for the children, but honestly, she could feel his care.

However, his care no longer stirred any emotions in her.

The most she could do was say thank you.

Xu Tian repeated the mention of the lawyer Zhou Lin had promised to introduce to her, "Sorry, Zhiwei, this really matters to me."

"I know, let’s handle this matter first."

Cheng Zhiwei wouldn’t get upset over such things, she hoped both she and Xu Tian could lead a more relaxed life.

Seeing it was getting late, Xu Tian left with He Yuming first.

Cheng Zhiwei meanwhile had prepared a room for Wang Mei.

During this time, Cheng Zhiyin had sent many messages detailing that Guo Cuihua and Cheng Shang were fighting at home, and it was quite a serious quarrel.
