Chapter 49 - Living Together?
The Zhou family had a total of three rooms. According to the original plan, Old Master Zhou would sleep in one room, Zhou Lin would sleep in the room of the eldest son, and Yun Xi would sleep in Zhou Lin’s room.
Nonetheless, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Who knew that the troublesome Zhou Mo would bring back another girl? Then, how would they split the three rooms between everyone? Could it be that the old man would take one room for himself? Would he let the two young couples sleep together? If Old Master Zhou could let his son, Zhou Lin, and Yun Xi sleep together in the same room, he would be more than happy. However, he did not like Yun Lian.
In fact, when they were eating just now, Old Master Zhou had been particularly distant from Yun Lian. He wanted to see what kind of reaction she would have.
As expected, she was a petty person who had not seen the world. The way Yun Lian tightly gripped her chopsticks and her unhappy look were imprinted in Old Master Zhou’s mind.
Although Old Master Zhou was not very satisfied with Yun Lian, he had no choice. After all, Zhou Mo was his grandson, not his son. His marriage would still be decided by his parents. As his grandfather, he could only give them some pertinent advice.
Despite that, Yun Lian’s behavior really disappointed him.
The most important thing at this moment was how the rooms should be split!
Old Master Zhou sighed internally. ‘This matter is so difficult to handle!’
In the end, the trouble that Zhou Mo had caused still had to be settled by his little uncle.
Old Master Zhou did not allow his son to go back to the army to sleep. After all, this would not help Zhou Lin and Yun Xi develop a relationship. Therefore, Zhou Lin thought about this matter for a very long time. After some thought, Zhou Lin still followed the original plan. Old Master Zhou would stay in his own room, Yun Xi would stay in Zhou Lin’s room, and Yun Lian would stay in the eldest son’s room.
Zhou Lin would sleep on a small bed in the study. As for the culprit who caused this trouble, if he was willing, he could make do with the sofa in the old residence. If he was not willing, he could return to his home.
Zhou Mo was of course willing. He had never lived on a sofa since he was young, but he was still willing to do so in the old residence of the Zhou family for the sake of the woman he liked.
After Zhou Lin made the arrangements, he was ready to return to his study. Just as he walked out of the door, he saw Yun Lian standing at his door, looking at him with an aggrieved look.
“Little Uncle”
Zhou Lin suddenly had a bad feeling about this. He hurriedly slowed down his footsteps, not wanting to be too close to Yun Lian.
“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”
“Little Uncle, I’ve thought about it. It’s not good for Brother Mo to stay on the sofa by himself,” Yun Lian said softly. She looked like she was afraid of being rejected. “Actually, I can sleep in the same room as my sister.”
“Well…” Zhou Lin was in a difficult position.
She did not want any woman other than her wife to lie on his bed. Furthermore, from Yun Xi’s expression, he could tell that she did not want to be alone with her sister.
Zhou Lin could not help but worry if Yun Xi would be angry if he let Yun Lian sleep in his room as well.
“Little Uncle, I really want to sleep with my sister. I promise that I won’t disturb her, nor will I destroy your relationship with her. I’ll be obedient and won’t make her angry,” Yun Lian said, and tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Looking at Yun Lian’s pitiful look, Zhou Lin felt a little helpless.
“I don’t want you to sleep with your sister in the same room!”
Zhou Lin rejected Yun Lian outright, which made Yun Xi, who had been hiding behind the door to watch the show, have a good impression of him. It seemed that a straight man was needed to subdue the pretentious girl. Magic was needed to defeat magic.
Yun Lian blinked her eyes, then she sobbed and asked, “Then… You’re saying that…”
“I’ve thought about it. You’d better sleep in that room!” Zhou Lin said.
“Alright, Little Uncle!” Yun Lian immediately smiled.
Zhou Lin turned around and walked toward the study.
“You can let Zhou Mo have your room. Why don’t you go and sleep on the sofa yourself?” Yun Xi, who had been watching the show behind the door, suddenly opened the door and said.
