Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 894: Was Just Getting Water

Getting Miao Miaomiao pregnant was the best way to resolve this deadlock. If Miao Miaomiao was pregnant, she’d naturally stop working.

However, Zhang Jiasen didn’t know how to refute Miao Miaomiao’s burst of reasonable words. Miao Miaomiao was doing this for the sake of both their families, but this fact just made Zhang Jiasen feel worse.

The part that made him the angriest was that the current Miao Miaomiao was no longer obedient.

Zhang Jiasen’s sharp gaze swept across Ning Shu’s face inch by inch as he scrutinized her. Then a smile appeared on his lips again. “Regardless of whether the child has the surname Miao or Zhang, it’s still our child.”

Ning Shu smiled as well. “You’re right.” Then she yawned, wrapped the blanket around herself, and prepared to sleep.

Zhang Jiasen placed his hand on Ning Shu’s arm gently as he asked, “Miaomiao, why did Dad suddenly decide to check the account books? Is there something wrong with the accounts?”

Ning Shu was perfectly wide awake, but she continued acting like she was very sleepy and said with a nasally tone, “Dad just feels like the income of the company has decreased so he wanted to look into it. He suspects that someone’s been embezzling.”

Zhang Jiasen’s eyes narrowed as he said, “With the environment like this and the economic crisis looming, it’s already very good that we can turn a profit. A lot of companies have already gone out of business.”

“So did Dad find anything?” Zhang Jiasen coaxed Ning Shu. “If there really is someone embezzling, there’s no way we can let a leech-like existence like that stay in the company.”

Ning Shu yawned as she said, “He’s probably found something. He’s been really angry lately.”

Ning Shu could feel Zhang Jiasen’s hand which was on her arm tremble for an instant. Zhang Jiasen then said gently, “If you’re sleepy you should just go to sleep.”

Ning Shu slowed down her breathing so that it would seem like she was asleep. Not long later, she felt Zhang Jiasen get up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Zhang Jiasen was smoking on the balcony.

His solitary figure on the balcony was like that of a phantom.

Zhang Jiasen stood on the balcony for a long time, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. Finally, he went downstairs. Ning Shu followed him downstairs barefoot and heard Zhang Jiasen talking with a woman in the kitchen.

Ning Shu listened carefully to the woman’s voice. It seemed to be one of the Miao family’s servants that had worked for the Miao family for many years.

Zhang Jiasen and the servant’s voices were very quiet so Ning Shu couldn’t hear them clearly. Hence she decided to walk directly to the kitchen door to ask, “What are you two doing?”

Zhang Jiasen was completely unperturbed at the sight of Ning Shu. He lifted the cup in his hand and said, “I wanted some water but couldn’t find a cup, so I had Aunt Ping help me get one. Why did you come downstairs?”

Ning Shu’s gaze swept across Aunt Ping’s face and Aunt Ping said, “I woke up to use the restroom and saw the young master looking for something in the kitchen, so I helped him get a cup.”

She hadn’t even ask anything, so what was this explanation for? Ning Shu nodded like she believed this explanation.

Zhang Jiasen took another sip of water, then asked Ning Shu, “Why are you still awake? And why did you come downstairs without even putting on shoes? It’s so cold today, what if you caught a chill?”

“When I woke up you weren’t on the bed and there was no one in the bathroom either. I thought you went home.” Ning Shu rubbed her eyes drowsily.

Zhang Jiasen drank the rest of the water in the cup. After setting down the cup, he directly lifted Ning Shu in a princess hold with a warm smile. “I’ll carry you up. This way your feet won’t get cold anymore.”

Ning Shu smiled without saying anything and allowed Zhang Jiasen to carry her upstairs. When she glanced back, she saw that Aunt Ping seemed a little flustered as she hurried back to her room.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes slightly before retrieving her gaze, only to have her eyes drawn to the red mark below Zhang Jiasen’s collarbone. It was usually concealed when he was in a buttoned up dress shirt, but pajamas revealed this location.

Ning Shu: Ha. Ha. Ha.
