Chapter 37: Sneaking into His Bathroom to Shower

Banxia looked up at him and asked, “Jiang Qianxue’s house?”

“Yes.”

“Why are you taking me there? What’s the purpose?” She asked softly, then signed her name on the agreement. “I don’t need to know people in your circle, and I won’t interfere with company matters.”

Then, she closed the agreement and said, “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Zhan. I’ll accept these shares.”

“The purpose is to tell her that I have a wife!” The man complained. “Otherwise, she wouldn’t believe me. She thinks I’m joking and keeps bothering me. It’s not good for the children.”

“People are most afraid of falling into self-justification. Will it affect your life whether she believes you or not?” Lin Banxia said, “I don’t have time. I’m going to the photography exhibition tomorrow.”

What Banxia, the little sister, didn’t know was that her good friend Jiang Xinyi’s photography exhibition was held at the Jiang family.

So, there would be a good show tomorrow.

She didn’t want to go, and Zhan Jingting didn’t force her. “Alright, no pressure.”

Lin Banxia took the agreement and got up. She came in front of him with a grateful expression. “I didn’t expect Mr. Zhan to be so generous and help me deal with Yang Yiming. It made me very touched, so… if you need my help in the future, I will do my best.”

“He made my son wander for six years. How can I not avenge this?” Zhan Jingting’s implication was – I’m doing this for the children, not for you.

See, he also has his own pride and dignity.

Banxia smiled. She didn’t care what the cause of the matter was. In any case, she was satisfied with the current result. “No matter what, thank you.”

After speaking, she turned and left.

Looking at her back, Zhan Jingting felt a bit of unspeakable depression in his chest.

In the vast courtyard, the lawn was as big as a football field.

Shen Butler, who was usually well-behaved, arranged the big and small matters in the villa, working in coordination with Zhou Ma, keeping the house in order.

Recently, he had added a new task of accompanying the children to play football. He often sweated profusely, but the smile on his face also increased. He always felt a sense of rejuvenation.

“Uncle Shen! Catch it!” An An held the ball and reminded him, then threw the ball up and kicked it with his little legs accurately!

“Hahaha, over here! Young Master An An, you have to aim well!” He laughed happily, enjoying playing with the children.

“Over here, over here! Uncle Shen, pass it to me!” Mo Mo shouted excitedly, and his movements were also very agile.

Soon, Zhou Ma came out of the living room with two bottles filled with warm water and two sweat towels.

Seeing her, Shen Butler quickly hugged the football and said to the children, “No more kicking, no more kicking. Drink some water and rest for a while.”

He was also sweating profusely, but the joy in his heart was truly indescribable.

The children ran towards Mrs. Zhou, “Thank you, Mrs. Zhou!” They took the bottles and sucked hard, panting.

“Come, come, you’re welcome, little masters. First, put on your sweat towels, rest for a while, then go take a bath, no more kicking today.”

“We haven’t played enough yet!” An An pouted.

Mrs. Zhou comforted them, “It’s getting windy, what if you catch a cold? Rest, rest, no more kicking today, okay? We’ll start playing earlier tomorrow.”

Persuaded by Mrs. Zhou, the children, though reluctantly, nodded obediently.

They sat down on the deck chairs, drinking water and looking at the twilight sky. Mrs. Zhou said they would go for a bath soon.

“Brother, Mommy didn’t sleep with Daddy last night again. She’s a liar. She said she would come later, later, later.” An An turned his head, “They wouldn’t be fake married, would they? Just to fool us?”

“Fake married?”

“Yeah, there are uncles and aunts on TV who are fake married, just to trick kids!” An An pouted, “If Daddy has a beautiful aunt and Mommy has a handsome uncle, then it’s really miserable!”

Mo Mo thought for a moment, “Don’t worry, little brother. From tonight onwards, we’ll watch them sleep together! If they don’t listen, then we won’t listen either!”

Then, the two little guys huddled together, whispering and exchanging ideas. They were truly mischievous and clever.

As night fell, the moon began to hang on the treetops.

Lin Banxia took her clothes and prepared to shower. In her bedroom’s own bathroom, no matter how much water she turned on, it was cold.

She couldn’t help but frown, waited a little longer, but it was still cold, a bone-chilling coldness.

She wasn’t used to taking cold showers, especially after giving birth, her body was clearly not as good as before.

So, she turned off the faucet and went out in her bathrobe.

The villa was huge, with seven or eight bathrooms. But when she turned on the faucet in another bathroom, it was still cold after a long time.

“What’s going on? Did we not pay the gas bill?” Lin Banxia appeared on the stairs, sticking her head out and asking the people downstairs, “Mrs. Zhou, where is there hot water? The bathroom seems to be unable to supply hot water!”

In the living room, Mrs. Zhou looked up, her face full of kindness as she answered her, “Currently, only Mr. Zhan’s room has hot water.”

“!!” Banxia’s eyes widened, she swallowed, listening to Mrs. Zhou explain that there was no hot water anywhere in the house, and it would be fixed tomorrow.

For a moment, she didn’t know what else to say, “Okay.” She turned around and went upstairs, a little embarrassed.

She had to take a shower tonight, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to sleep. So, Lin Banxia, wearing a bathrobe and slippers, carrying a towel, appeared at the door of the master bedroom.

She gathered her courage and knocked on the door. No one answered. She knocked again, still no response.

She gently turned the doorknob and opened the door. The room was empty…

She thought, “He must still be in the study.” So, without saying a word, she went straight into his bathroom, turned on the faucet, and the sound of water rushing filled the room.

Ban Xia took off her bathrobe. She was still a little nervous, but as time passed, she enjoyed the feeling of the hot water washing away her fatigue.

She had obtained 40% of Lin Corporation’s shares, and she was truly happy. She would take back what belonged to her mother, bit by bit!

In the study next door, Zhan Jingting stood by the window, his hand in his pocket, taking a call. “Spare no effort, you must find the best doctor. No matter where this person is, how difficult it is to invite them, I am willing to go in person.”

“There are too many people in the world who boast and flatter. Medical skills are hard to judge in a short period of time. Young Master Zhan, Dr. Avery’s reputation is good, he is a steady person, but his treatment for patients takes a long time.”

Zhan Jingting listened carefully to the other party’s report. He immediately made a decision, “Contact him and schedule a time. I will book a flight to invite him.”

“I have already forwarded the young master’s medical records to him. He hasn’t given a definite reply yet. Should we wait a little longer?” The other party was worried that he would be turned away.

“No need to wait.” Zhan Jingting’s tone was calm, “I said I wouldn’t give up any hope.”

After the call ended, he sighed softly. He had been worried sick about his brother’s illness all these years.

Every time he thought about it, his mood would become heavy.

When he returned to the master bedroom, he heard the sound of water rushing from the bathroom. Zhan Jingting was startled, “Did he forget to turn off the faucet?”

So, without thinking, he walked towards the bathroom, opened the door and went in.

“Ah——!” The girl’s scream startled the man. “Get out! Get out! What are you still doing there!”

Zhan Jingting, realizing what was happening, stepped out of the bathroom and closed the door. His mind was in a daze. How did she end up in his bathroom??
