Chapter 24: We Don’t Want a Stepmother

“Yeah, she even went and got a nutritionist certificate, saying she wants to cook delicious meals for you.”

“Daddy, she’s trying to win you over!”

“Daddy, Mrs. Zhou said she’s still a student, why is she so focused on you? She wouldn’t want to be my stepmom, would she? I don’t want her, I don’t want her!”

“I don’t want her either!”

The children were resistant, Zhan Jingting stroked their little heads and promised, “Don’t worry, she won’t be your stepmom, I don’t like her anyway.”

“Tomorrow is the first day of school, will Daddy and Mommy send us together?” An An asked, looking up.

“Yeah, together.” But that woman hasn’t come yet.

Mo Mo asked expectantly, “Will Mommy come over to stay tonight?”

“I don’t know.” He wouldn’t take the initiative, but he wouldn’t resist if Lin Banxia came.

After the three of them entered the living room, Mrs. Zhou took his coat from him and hung it up, “Young Master Zhan, dinner will be ready soon.”

“Okay.” The man didn’t ask about Yutong.

Mrs. Zhou hesitated, she didn’t say anything in front of the children.

Because Ming Shu had a bit of a situation, Lin Banxia was temporarily preparing medicine and called her son, “I won’t be coming over tonight, I have something to do, listen to Daddy, go to bed early.”

“Mommy, your backyard is about to catch fire!” Mo Mo told her, “A woman moved into Daddy’s house today, and she even got a nutritionist certificate for Daddy!”

“What does it have to do with me?” She really didn’t care.

“But she wants to be my stepmom! It’s not your business? She’s going to abuse you and your kids!”

“Mommy!” An An quickly interjected, “Tomorrow is our first day of kindergarten, we want Daddy and Mommy to send us together!”

This again touched her soft spot, if other kids have it, she didn’t want her children to miss out.

So, after thinking for a while, she replied, “Then I’ll come over later, you guys eat first, go to bed when it’s time, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finish here.”

“Okay.”

Then the phone on the other end went dead, the children were overjoyed!

The most important thing to do next is to get Yutong to move out!

The two kids will definitely protect Daddy and Mommy’s love, and nip any flowers and grass in the bud!

Yutong was busy in the kitchen, the chef was also helping, although she knew he was back, she wanted to run out and see him, but she restrained herself.

She made two soups for him: seaweed and beef ball soup, and winter melon and fresh shrimp soup.

She knew that not many girls nowadays knew how to cook, and this skill was one of the criteria for judging whether a girl was virtuous. It would definitely be a plus point in front of Grandpa Zhan.

“Daddy, Mommy won’t be joining us for dinner, but she’ll be staying tonight.” An An told him.

Zhan Jingting nodded, “Okay.”

Soon, Steward Shen came to inform them that dinner was ready. The man took his children’s hands, one on each side, and led them to the dining room.

In the bright and luxurious dining room, Yutong, wearing a black short skirt and white boots, was bending over, holding a bowl of steaming soup. She was leaning so low that the children could almost see the cleavage of her chest.

Such a deliberate action made the nearby Mrs. Zhou turn pale, but she couldn’t speak directly because of the occasion.

“Mr. Zhan, I cooked these two soups myself. Would you like a bowl?” As she spoke, she directly reached out to serve the soup, her heart and eyes only on this man.

Zhan Jingting arranged for the two children to sit down.

“Mr. Zhan, you must finish this. You work so hard every day, your health is the most important.” Her words were full of concern, her voice sweet, with a hint of a loli tone, she gently placed the filled bowl in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Jingting directly picked it up and handed it to An An, “Try it? Children need to drink more soup to grow taller.”

“Thank you, Daddy!” The little guy’s voice was loud as he directly picked up the spoon.

Yutong’s smile froze slightly, not even a thank you, he ignored her completely?

But it didn’t matter, she picked up another bowl, filled it with soup, and handed it to Mr. Zhan again. Unexpectedly, he picked it up and handed it to his other son!

“Thank you, Daddy!” The little guy’s voice was soft and cute.

“You’re welcome, drink more.” His expression was gentle, a rare sight of being approachable.

Until she was about to serve a third bowl, Zhan Jingting took an empty bowl and stood up, “I’ll do it myself, you go and do your work.”

In the Zhan family, servants don’t eat with the masters.

Yutong’s movements froze slightly, she turned her gaze to the man’s handsome profile, just inches away, he didn’t even look at her.

As if he was disgusted by her.

This made Yutong feel very uncomfortable.

“Yutong.” Mrs. Zhou quickly came over to pull her, “Let’s go?” Don’t make a fool of yourself here, it’s a good thing Miss Lin isn’t here.

Yutong was directly pulled out of the dining room by Mrs. Zhou she was pulled to the depths of the yard before Mrs. Zhou let go of her hand, “Pack your things and move out!”

“Why?” She was unwilling, “Did I do something wrong? What did I do? I didn’t do anything, why… why am I being asked to leave when I was living here perfectly fine before…”

“You like Young Master Zhan!” Mrs. Zhou said bluntly, “Just for that, you have to move out!”

“…” Yutong couldn’t argue about that, “Auntie, you can choose not to help me, but why do you have to hold me back?”

“You admit it?”

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘The one closest to the water gets the moon first’? If I become Mrs. Zhan, you’ll benefit too.”

“The mother of these two children is not dead.” Mrs. Zhou knew very well, “The position of Mrs. Zhan is not for you. Even if she died, there’s still Miss Jiang!” Yutong wasn’t willing to give up, “Auntie…”

“Move out, be obedient, don’t let him despise you, then I’ll be caught in the middle.”

“Tomorrow, is that okay?” Yutong decided to compromise for now, to first figure out who the children’s mother was, what kind of person she was, how did she end up pregnant with Young Master Zhan’s child?

After dinner.

Zhan Jingting played chess with the children for a while, then went upstairs to his study. After a while, the door knocked.

Sitting at his desk, he only glanced up, didn’t say “come in,” yet the door opened. Yutong walked in, holding a glass of milk.

Zhan Jingting looked away, continuing to work. No matter how beautiful she dressed, he wasn’t interested.

“Young Master Zhan, your milk.” Yutong gently placed the glass down, standing politely by the desk, “I’ve decided to move out tomorrow, thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

“Mm.” Zhan Jingting said without looking up, “If you need anything, you can tell Mrs. Zhou,or you can tell me.”

Because of her experience of losing both parents, it was similar to his, so… Zhan Jingting felt a bit of sympathy for her.

But these words were misinterpreted by Yutong as love.

Tell him? Another woman had his child, so this game, she couldn’t win, right? She had to observe, to think long-term.

“Thank you, I don’t need anything for now.” She didn’t linger, turning and leaving gracefully.

She heard that the children’s mother would be coming tonight, so Yutong took a shower, changed into pajamas, and sat by the window in her bedroom waiting.

Before leaving, she had to meet her rival face-to-face, right? At least know who she was.
