Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 319 - : Can You Cook?
Chapter 319 -319: Can You Cook?
“What… what did you say? Don’t want the child? Linlin, say that again.”
Xi Wanlin said, “I don’t want to have a child right now, and besides, I’m worried about this child… After all, he was conceived before my divorce.”
Lu Lei said, “But you were with me during that time, could the child not be mine?”
“What if he isn’t?” Xi Wanlin asked.
Lu Lei couldn’t bear the thought, he was very sure the child was his. “I won’t allow you to abort the child, you must give birth to it! Even if it’s not mine, I’ll still acknowledge it!”
Lu Lei knew that Xi Wanlin had been in a bad mood lately because of that slap; she might have already been considering leaving him.
Therefore, he must have a child to tie her down.
“But, I…” Xi Wanlin said, “Having a child would turn me into a yellow-faced woman, I don’t want to give birth.”
“No, it won’t. I will always dote on you, treat you like a little princess,” Lu Lei said.
He embraced Xi Wanlin again: “Linlin, I will definitely love you well, believe me, promise me, you must keep the child, okay?”
Xi Wanlin was held in his arms, but she couldn’t feel a trace of love, only suffocation.
Why was having an affair so thrilling and pleasurable, yet when it became legitimate, it turned into a burden?
…
In early April, the climate in Yun City was pleasant, and the tourism season was in full swing.
However, Xi Wanfen took a week off to return to Liang Zhanbai’s hometown, Yi City, with him.
Liang Zhanbai’s parents were originally civil servants, but because they had one more child than the policy allowed, they later ventured into business, made some money from opening a hotpot restaurant in the early years. As the competition intensified, all but one franchise remained. Although not earning much, it was enough to get by. Now that their son started working too, they planned to transfer ownership of the hotpot restaurant and retire peacefully.
Liang Zhanbai deserved to be the only son of the family; he was the single heir of three generations in Liang Family, after having three older sisters before a son was born, he was naturally treasured immensely.
No sooner had they left the airport than the Second Brother-in-law came to pick them up.
Xi Wanfen found it strange, why would it be a fuss for the younger brother-in-law to come home that even the brothers-in-law needed to be involved?
It must have been Mr. Liang’s idea.
Due to her inherently delicate sensibilities, although the First Brother-in-law and Second Brother-in-law seemed enthusiastic, there was actually a certain reserve.
Being sent by the father-in-law to pick up the younger brother-in-law probably wasn’t very pleasing to them.
“Zhan Bai, hurry up and get in the car. Your grandpa, your parents, and your sisters are all waiting at home for you guys,” said the Second Brother-in-law as he helped them with their luggage.
Liang Zhanbai’s house was a standalone courtyard, indicating a decent family situation.
Upon entering, Xi Wanfen saw a group of women and children in the living room, waiting to welcome them.
The children shouted in unison, “Hello, Uncle, hello, Auntie!”
Xi Wanfen blushed with shyness; she was only 23 years old, all told.
Knowing she was shy, Liang Zhanbai quickly took her hand, “Don’t be afraid, they’re all really good people, you’ll see after a couple of days.”
Xi Wanfen could only follow Liang Zhanbai inside.
She noticed that as soon as she and Liang Zhanbai entered, the central seat on the sofa was offered to them.
It seems, Liang Zhanbai, the only male heir in the family, was indeed doted on at home.
The Liang Family was very warm, and to welcome their return, all sorts of delicious foods and drinks were brought out.
Upon seeing Xi Wanfen, Liang’s parents just asked a few symbolic questions, probably noticing her nervousness, and didn’t inquire further.
The children probably thought Xi Wanfen was young and also came over to chat with her playfully.
Suddenly, Xi Wanfen felt that, in fact, a bustling and lively family wasn’t so bad; it meant not being lonely nor solitary.
…
However, by the evening, Xi Wanfen began to feel a bit uncomfortable.
The Liang Family began to prepare dinner.
Because the brother had come from far away, the three older sisters also brought their husbands and nephews, plus Liang Zhanbai’s grandfather and parents, in total seventeen people needed to be fed.
With so many people to feed, naturally, someone has to cook.
The brothers-in-law all acted like outsiders, each of them sitting on the sofa browsing their phones, and the nephews were too young to be of any help.
Liang Zhanbai’s father didn’t lift a finger either; only Mrs. Liang and the sisters were busy.
Which is to say, it was the women who were cooking.
So, if the sisters were not at home, who would be responsible for cooking?
Now sitting with a few men, she suddenly felt rather uneasy.
Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but say to Liang Zhanbai: “Zhan Bai, do you think we should go to the kitchen and help out?”
Liang Zhanbai said, “No need, we’ve come from far away.”
“Then do you know how to cook?” Xi Wanfen asked again.
She had never thought about this question before.
“No, I’ve never cooked before.” No sooner had Liang Zhanbai finished speaking than the eldest brother-in-law suggested playing mahjong. The three brothers-in-law and Liang Zhanbai made up a table.
Liang Zhanbai readily agreed.
Now, only Mr. Liang and Xi Wanfen were left sitting on the sofa.
Xi Wanfen felt as if the sofa was too hot to sit on.
At this moment, the third sister came out of the kitchen to fetch something and saw Xi Wanfen sitting on the sofa. She couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Fen, do you want to come into the kitchen? It’s lively in there; everyone is chatting and laughing.”
“Sure, alright.” Xi Wanfen had no choice; she couldn’t just sit with Mr. Liang and watch TV.
She followed the third sister into the kitchen.
The kitchen was large. Mrs. Liang was stir-frying, the eldest sister was picking vegetable leaves, the second sister was washing vegetables, and the third sister was chopping.
After Xiao Fen entered, she looked at the work in the kitchen, not sure what she could help with.
“Xiao Fen, do you know how to cook?” the third sister asked.
“I don’t, I’m not sure what help I can be to you?” Xi Wanfen said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sisters exchanged glances.
The second sister said, “Then you should learn, Zhan Bai doesn’t know how to cook either, he only knows how to eat.”
The eldest sister said, “Yeah, and he’s quite picky too.”
Xi Wanfen thought to herself: I don’t know how to cook either, and I’m pretty picky too.
But then she thought of Liang Zhanbai’s handsome face and felt that sisters were sisters, and brothers were brothers.
After all, she was just visiting, and she wouldn’t be coming often.
At mealtime, when the whole family sat together to chat and eat, Xi Wanfen felt it was very lively.
Mr. and Mrs. Liang even said, “You young people don’t want to have children, we won’t push you, but once you do have kids, your mom and I will come over to help take care of them.”
Xi Wanfen had never been married and had no experience with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships; she thought Liang’s parents were very nice, offering to help with the children.
Isn’t it said online that many mothers-in-law are unwilling to come over and help with the kids?
…
After dusk, the sisters and the brothers-in-law all went home, saying they had to take the kids back to bathe and sleep, but Liang Zhanbai and Xi Wanfen were still full of energy.
Liang Zhanbai took Xi Wanfen out quietly to eat hot pot together, to enjoy the snacks of Yi City.
Having eaten dinner and eating again, Xi Wanfen’s stomach was bloated.
But she felt very happy, because a man was willing to take her out to eat street food.
“Xiao Fen, when we return to Yun City, let’s, let’s move out and rent a place to live, I want to see you every day,” said Liang Zhanbai.

Xi Wanfen shyly lowered her head.
