The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

Chapter 8

Shen Yin carried Zhengzheng and went out. The driver had taken Aunt Song back, so Shen Yin planned to walk with Zhengzheng. Even if she got tired, she would carry him if he couldn't walk anymore.

Chang Zhiyuan noticed the situation and casually placed his hand on Xu Xiuhe's shoulder, saying, "Since your wife and child have gone out, why don't you go and see them off?"

Xu Xiuhe disdainfully removed Chang Zhiyuan's arm from his shoulder and brushed off his own shoulder.

Chang Zhiyuan initially wanted to invite Shen Yin to have a meal to make up for his mistake. But now that he saw the whole family had gone out, he felt like he had come in vain. He followed behind Xu Xiuhe and also went out.

Xu Xiuhe walked briskly to his own car and parked it at the gate of the courtyard.

Shen Yin couldn't believe that this man actually knew to see them off. She held Zhengzheng and sat in the backseat of the car. Without wasting any time, Chang Zhiyuan opened the door of the passenger seat and got in.

Frowning, Xu Xiuhe asked, "Why did you get in? Aren't you driving back?"

Chang Zhiyuan, thick-skinned as he was, said, "I want to accompany my godson." He crossed his legs and added, "Can I come along, sister-in-law?"

Shen Yin was speechless. He had already gotten in the car, and he was still asking. She replied calmly, "I mind."

Upon hearing this, Chang Zhiyuan's expression cracked open. He never expected Shen Yin to respond so directly. If one observed carefully, they would notice that Xu Xiuhe's lips curled upwards slightly.

But who was Chang Zhiyuan? He didn't care about Shen Yin's opinion. Lowering his head, he persisted, "Zhengzheng, it's been a long time since your godfather played with you. Can your godfather go out with you?"

Zhengzheng nodded.

"Looks like my godson treats me well," Chang Zhiyuan said, looking at Xu Xiuhe with a smug expression.

Xu Xiuhe ignored him and turned to ask Zhengzheng and Shen Yin where they wanted to go.

"Let's go to the supermarket," Shen Yin replied.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Shen Yin grabbed a shopping cart and placed Zhengzheng inside. Then she went to the children's snack section and picked out some snacks for Zhengzheng. She thought that with two big men following behind her, they wouldn't let her pay, would they? She had come once before with Aunt Song, and although she had a rough idea, going through the whole process by herself was still a bit challenging. Free labor and a free wallet should not go to waste.

With these thoughts, Shen Yin's mood improved, and she had a smile on her face. She lowered her head and asked the little sweetheart in the shopping cart what he wanted to eat.

This scene happened to be seen by Xu Xiuhe and Chang Zhiyuan who were following behind.

Chang Zhiyuan was even more shocked and moved closer to Xu Xiuhe, asking, "Didn't you say that Shen Yin has severe depression? I also heard from Liu Bo that she even abused my godson some time ago. Isn't she depressed? Isn't she suffering from schizophrenia?"

Xu Xiuhe had also had doubts, so he personally asked Shen Yin's psychologist, Ji Qingyan, who clearly told him that Shen Yin's condition had greatly improved and she had basically recovered to normal.

Perhaps psychological illnesses were strange, or perhaps Shen Yin had truly found a way to let go.

Chang Zhiyuan paused for a moment and asked, "Are you still planning to get a divorce? I saw the divorce agreement in your office last time."

Xu Xiuhe had considered divorcing before, but now that Shen Yin had become so important to him, he couldn't bring himself to present the divorce agreement. After all, there was still a blood relationship between them.

Chang Zhiyuan continued, "Qi Yan is coming back next week."

Xu Xiuhe's expression noticeably changed, and he replied, "Hmm, please don't mention her in front of me again."

Sensing that this topic was sensitive, Chang Zhiyuan tried to change the subject, "Did she really cook lunch today?"

Shen Yin's shopping cart was already filled with many things: cooking condiments, vegetables, and the fish Zhengzheng wanted to eat. She also bought some fruits.

When they reached the checkout counter, it was evident that the cashier didn't understand the relationship between two grown men accompanying a woman and a child in the supermarket.

Leaving the supermarket, it was already noon, and they headed back the same way.

Shen Yin carried Zhengzheng into the living room and placed him on the floor, while Chang Zhiyuan brought the groceries into the kitchen.

After settling Zhengzheng, Shen Yin headed straight to the kitchen. Xu Xiuhe had already entered the house, and Chang Zhiyuan, noticing Shen Yin's cooking skills, asked Xu Xiuhe, "Should I order some takeout? It's been a long time since I last visited Chen Siming's restaurant. I can call and have them deliver it here."

As he said this, Chang Zhiyuan took out his phone. Xu Xiuhe changed his shoes and said to Chang Zhiyuan, "You can go eat at his restaurant now. No one is stopping you. It's your own choice to stay here."

Chang Zhiyuan felt hurt and ran toward Zhengzheng, with a teary voice, "Zhengzheng, look, your dad is bullying your godfather again."

Xu Xiuhe went to the kitchen and offered to help with cooking, but he couldn't distinguish anything. Shen Yin found him to be in the way and asked him to leave.

Shen Yin busied herself in the kitchen, preparing a meal for Zhengzheng. Considering his young age, she made the dishes milder in flavor. She cooked steamed perch, garlic spare ribs, soy sauce beef, stir-fried oil greens, broccoli with wood ear mushrooms, and a fresh shrimp and mushroom soup.

Chang Zhiyuan caught a whiff of the aroma and exclaimed, "Wow, what dish smells so good?"

Shen Yin just finished scooping the rice from the pot and couldn't bring the dishes to the dining room, so she turned to Chang Zhiyuan and said, "Bring these dishes out."

Chang Zhiyuan did as he was told and saw that Xu Xiuhe had already seated Zhengzheng.

At the dining table, Chang Zhiyuan seemed as if he hadn't eaten for days. He forgot about everything else and became unusually quiet. Shen Yin placed a piece of fish on her own plate, broke it into small pieces with her chopsticks, carefully inspected it to make sure there were no bones, and then fed it to Zhengzheng.

Although Xu Xiuhe also fed Zhengzheng, there was still a difference between men and women. He thought the fish had bones and believed it wasn't suitable for Zhengzheng to eat.

After taking a bite of the fish, Zhengzheng licked his lips and said to Shen Yin, "The fish is delicious, Zhengzheng wants more."

Shen Yin initially thought that fish wasn't suitable for children as it could easily get stuck in their throats. While at the supermarket, Shen Yin asked Zhengzheng what he wanted to eat, and he said fish. So Shen Yin bought some fish and steamed it.

Shen Yin replied, "Alright, if Zhengzheng likes it, then let's eat more." When there was a big serving, Shen Yin's grandfather used to enjoy fishing and would have the chef prepare various kinds of fish. He would also tell her that eating fish is good for becoming smarter. Shen Yin continued to pick out the fish bones and fed the fish to Zhengzheng.

Zhengzheng's little mouth didn't stop moving, and he was thoroughly enjoying the meal. Shen Yin was worried that he might choke, so she scooped a small spoonful of fresh shrimp and mushroom soup and fed it to Zhengzheng, saying, "Here, Zhengzheng, have some soup and eat slowly."

Chang Zhiyuan spoke up, raising his head and finally stopping Shen Yin. "Sister-in-law, can we discuss something?"

Shen Yin now understood that this person named Chang Zhiyuan had a good relationship with Xu Xiuhe and was Zhengzheng's godfather. She could understand the misunderstanding and responded graciously, "You may speak."

Chang Zhiyuan saw a glimmer of hope and eagerly said, "Our company is working on a play, and we need a child actor. I want Zhengzheng to give it a try."

Shen Yin now had a better understanding of this world and knew that actors are those people on TV. She was quite interested and found it enjoyable. At the same time, she was puzzled as to why Chang Zhiyuan approached her for discussion instead of directly involving Xu Xiuhe. Shen Yin looked confused.

Xu Xiuhe noticed Shen Yin's confusion and explained, "Zhengzheng has been under your care during this time, and if he goes to the filming location, he needs you to accompany him. They need your input and ideas."

Shen Yin, with a look of understanding, asked, "So, do I need to go to the filming location with Zhengzheng?"

Thinking that Shen Yin didn't want to go to the filming location, Chang Zhiyuan quickly reassured her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will arrange a dedicated assistant for you. You won't suffer."

Shen Yin felt tempted and looked at Xu Xiuhe, wanting to know his thoughts. But Xu Xiuhe was engrossed in devouring spare ribs.

Chang Zhiyuan spoke again, but this time, he addressed Zhengzheng, "Zhengzheng, can your godfather ask you for a favor? If you agree, your godfather will fulfill many of your small wishes."

Xu Xiuhe couldn't bear it any longer and kicked Chang Zhiyuan's foot under the table, saying, "That's enough, don't deceive my son in front of me. I can fulfill his wishes."

Chang Zhiyuan awkwardly smiled.

Shen Yin, of course, noticed it and asked Zhengzheng with a lowered head, "Zhengzheng, do you want to go and play at the filming location?"

Zhengzheng shook his head and replied with enthusiasm, "I want to."

Chang Zhiyuan chuckled, "As expected of my godson. And sister-in-law, why is the food you cooked so delicious?"

Shen Yin's cooking was undoubtedly delicious. She dared to say that there weren't many people with culinary skills surpassing hers. Chang Zhiyuan thought to himself that he couldn't rely on Chen Siming for meals anymore.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yin took Zhengzheng to the bathroom to wipe his mouth and wash his face. Chang Zhiyuan and Xu Xiuhe remained seated at the dining table, and Shen Yin didn't plan on cleaning up. Since she had cooked the meal, whoever wanted to wash the dishes could do it.

Sure! Here's the translation of the Chinese novel into English:

Sure enough, men lack this self-awareness. Shen Yin had already finished washing her hands, but the two of them hadn't made a move yet.

Shen Yin had a touch of OCD and a slight cleanliness obsession. She couldn't stand it when the dining table wasn't cleaned after a meal. In her mansion, with four maids, everything was always in perfect order. Unless she wanted to do something herself, she didn't have to do anything.

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Yin walked into the dining room and said to the two of them, "Which one of you has time to clean up the table and wash the dishes?" After saying that, she picked up Zhengzheng and went upstairs.

Xu Xiuhe and Chang Zhiyuan sat there without moving, looking at each other. Chang Zhiyuan, in need of help and lacking hands, obediently cleaned up the table and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. This was probably one of the few times he had entered the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuhe curled his lips and went upstairs. The villa had a total of three floors. The first floor consisted of the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and cloakroom. The second floor had the master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and a study. Xu Xiuhe entered the study and continued working.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the study. Xu Xiuhe thought it was Chang Zhiyuan, but when he opened the door, he was surprised to see Zhengzheng. "Zhengzheng, what's the matter?"

Zhengzheng took small steps and hugged Xu Xiuhe's thigh. "Daddy, I want to read too."

Xu Xiuhe carried Zhengzheng into the study and handed him an art book.

When Chang Zhiyuan arrived at the study, he saw this scene: Xu Xiuhe typing on the computer keyboard while Zhengzheng looked at a book. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Seeing Chang Zhiyuan enter, Xu Xiuhe said, "Perfect timing. Zhengzheng going to act has some conditions."

"Tell me, tell me."

"Go and get the documents from the printer."

In order to make Xu Xiuhe happy, Chang Zhiyuan hurriedly went to the printer and retrieved the documents.

Xu Xiuhe spoke, "Take a look for yourself. Can you meet the conditions written on the document?"

Chang Zhiyuan took a look. It was nothing more than ensuring Zhengzheng's safety and not disclosing his personal information.

"Don't worry, I will absolutely ensure the safety of my godson. It's just that..." Chang Zhiyuan paused for a moment.

"Just say what you want to say."

"We'll be joining the film crew the day after tomorrow."
