This is actually a good thing. Zhou Yi also knows that he should be happy for her from the bottom of his heart, but he also knows very well that not being affected emotionally means that he has completely lost the qualifications to be her intimate partner.
In other words, the reason why they can get along so harmoniously now is because Zheng Pianqian's role positioning for him has changed.
The closer people are to people, the more they demand. If they are just ordinary friends, they can be casual.
In many realities, when you think about it yourself and when you hear it from the person involved, your feelings are completely different.
Zhou Yi had lived for thirty years, and there had never been such a time of tension, conflict, and internal friction.
Zhou Yi spent a few minutes adjusting his mood, and after a while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "If the work pressure is too great, you can give me some more, don't push yourself too hard."
"How long do you plan to work in my studio?" Zheng Pianqing answered the question.
Zhou Yi's answer was straightforward, "When you don't need me anymore."
Zheng Pianqing: "Don't you have any other work plans?"
Zhou Yi twitched his lips, "If you can't starve to death if you don't work, why should you work? I don't have that much value in life to pursue. When your studio doesn't need me anymore, I can take care of San San every day."
Zheng Pianqian pursed her lips, "Actually, you don't have to sacrifice too much for Sansan."
Zhou Yi: "NO, how can spending time with my daughter be considered a sacrifice?"
He began to calculate, "She will be seven years old soon, and there are still eleven years left before adulthood. In fact, children don't like to play with their parents very much when they reach elementary school. She will have her own circle of friends. We are here Her participation in life will become less and less, so we have to cherish the time when she is still willing to be with her parents."
Zheng Pianqian rarely felt that Zhou Yi's words made sense. After listening, she nodded unconsciously.
After talking about raising Sansan, Zhou Yi had a lot to say to Zheng Pianqing. When he was about to continue chatting, his phone suddenly rang.
Zhou Yi said "I'm sorry" and then picked up his phone. It was an unread message on WeChat.
Coming from a family group that usually has very little movement.
The Zhou family has a large family group, and Zhou Yi and his parents have a small group of three people. There is basically no movement in this group of three.
Zhou Yi was raised as a free-spirited person. After he became an adult, Zhou Songan and Wen Jing paid little attention to him.
In their words: My son won’t starve to death anyway, so just don’t break the law or commit any crime.
It is precisely because of this idea of Zhou Songan and Wen Jing that after hearing about Sansan's existence, they never thought about "stealing" this granddaughter. They even understood the Zheng family's behavior of not letting their children call Zhou Yi daddy. .
Zhou Yi opened the group curiously and saw several messages from Wen Jing.
The first piece is location information, located at New York JFK Airport.
The second message is a text message: [My husband and I are here to play, do you want to treat us to a meal? 】
Zhou Yi: [Oh, why don’t you remember that you have a son. 】
Wen Jing: [There is so much nonsense, please don’t ask me if you like me. 】
Zhou Yi: [No, no, no, please, you must please, please kneel down. 】
Wen Jing sent the hotel's location information, and Zhou Yi checked the map and found that the hotel they booked was only four kilometers away from Zheng Pianqing's studio.
Zhou Yi raised his head and looked at Zheng Pianqing opposite him, but hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to do, go and get busy." Zheng Pianqing saw that Zhou Yi didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he wanted to ask for leave.
"No." Zhou Yi said tentatively, "I have something to discuss with you. It might be a bit excessive. I'm afraid you'll be angry."
Zheng Pianqing: "Say."
Zhou Yi: "Are you really not angry?"
Zheng Pianxiang considered it for a moment, "You can tell me what it is about first."
Facing Zhou Yi, it was indeed difficult for her to ensure that she would not be angry at all, so it was better to decide the topic first.
Zhou Yi: "About Sansan and my family."
After Zheng Pianqian thought for a moment, she nodded, "You say it."
Zhou Yi: "My parents came to New York, and I want to take Sansan to have a meal with them."
After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "They didn't ask for it, and my parents didn't think about letting Sansan do anything. It was me who unilaterally wanted to arrange for them to meet."
When Zhou Yi mentioned the Zhou family just now, Zheng Pianqian didn't expect that he was talking about his parents this time.
Zheng Pianqian didn't know much about Zhou Yi's parents. She had only seen a few family photos of them. Zhou Yi's parents had little control over him because he left home when he was very young and his parents did not contact him frequently. Zheng Pianqian Pian Ping didn't talk to him about many related topics.
"Oh, I have no objection." Zheng Pianqing remembered that Zhou Rencheng had told her before that Zhou Yi's parents had no intention of fighting for Sansan's custody rights. Sansan had been calling Zhou Yi's father for half a year, and it was too late to meet his grandparents. It doesn't matter.
Zhou Yi: "Then let me ask Sansan."
He laughed, "They will definitely like Sansan very much."
——
After Zhou Yi got off work from the studio that afternoon, he went to the hotel to meet Zhou Songan and Wen Jing.
The family of three had dinner in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel.
We haven’t seen each other for almost a year, but Zhou Songan and Wen Jing don’t look older at all. They even wear couple’s outfits of the same color, and people would believe them if they said they were in their forties.
Zhou Yi looked at the loving look of the two of them, and after sitting down, he joked: "You two are not too tired to panic."
Wen Jing: "Why, I have a good relationship with my husband. Are you envious?"
Zhou Yi: "Yes, yes, I am extremely envious."
He smiled helplessly, "So how did you two plan your trip to New York?"
Zhou Songan: "She wants to see a musical, but the only tickets available are here recently."
Zhou Yi nodded, "When is the musical?"
Wen Jing: "Since when have you cared so much about us?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "Find some time and take you to meet my daughter."
When talking about this topic, Wen Jing and Zhou Songan immediately looked at each other.
Zhou Songan looked at Zhou Yi with distrust: "Do you have this ability?"
Wen Jing: "Pull him down, don't take this risk, I'm afraid you won't be able to see your child again."
Zhou Songan and Wen Jing had seen a lot of photos of San San. When Xiao Zuo and Xiao You came here some time ago, Ming Yue often sent photos and videos of the three children to the family group. They looked at these and were already very satisfied.
They had also heard about the things that happened when Zhou Yi's identity was discovered.
Although I really want to see Sansan, if the Zheng family doesn't agree, I might as well forget it.
Zhou Yi knew what they were worried about, so he smiled and said, "I have already asked Pianqing, and she agreed."
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Yi with some disgust: "I really don't know how much virtue you have accumulated in your previous life, and you met such an easy-to-talk person."
Zhou Yi: "You are right."
After Zhou Songan considered it for a moment, he said, "Your mother and I will prepare a gift later, and you can hand it over on my behalf."
Zhou Songan knew that Zheng Pianqing would not be able to meet them, but he still had to give this gift.
