Let's Divorce As Agreed
Chapter 1253 - Chapter 1253 Chapter 1252 Helpless

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1252: Helpless Chapter 1253: Chapter 1252: Helpless “Don’t think nonsense, and besides, I think you’re just fine as you are.” Zhou Shengting knew what she was thinking just by looking at her.

Bai Lan snorted and ignored him.

Their days passed uneventfully but were very warm, except occasionally Zhou’s mother would call to sneer a few remarks.

Bai Lan listened, but did not retort.

Regarding the pregnancy, she and Zhou Shengting had reached a consensus to not tell Zhou’s parents for now.

It was still the early stages of pregnancy, actually still unstable, so who knew what might happen?

Especially considering her poor health, thinking about this made Bai Lan somewhat uneasy.

That day, Zhou’s mother once again called, roughly meaning that Zhou’s father was turning 65 and planned to hold a banquet at a hotel.

Since Bai Lan was closer to the phone, she picked it up.

“Mom, I understand,” Bai Lan responded.

Once Zhou’s mother heard her voice, her tone immediately turned cold, “Is Shengting at home? Let him take the phone.”

Zhou’s mother thought that Zhou Shengting would be at home at this time, so she initially tried his mobile but got no response.

“Mom, Shengting is taking a shower. When he comes out, I’ll have him return your call, is that okay?” Bai Lan spoke evenly, seemingly unaware of the other party’s hostility.

“I’ll call him myself later,” Zhou’s mother said and then with a snap, hung up the phone.

Bai Lan smiled wryly, feeling somewhat helpless. She had made her greatest effort, yet she still couldn’t earn her affection.

However, she couldn’t worry about that much anymore. She sat idly on the couch, lost in thought, when Zhou Shengting came out from the room, “Lan Lan, what’s going on? Why are you spacing out? Do you feel unwell?”

Zhou Shengting asked anxiously; since her pregnancy, he had become quite the nervous wreck.

Especially thinking about her health condition, he felt as if his hair had turned grayer.

“Oh, no, it’s nothing. Did you get Mom’s call? She was looking for you,” Bai Lan asked.

“No, I just got out of the shower. What does she want?” Zhou Shengting frowned.

“Not sure, you should call her back quickly,” Bai Lan urged.

“Okay,” Zhou Shengting nodded.

Despite many concerns, he still went back to the study to get his phone.

When Zhou Shengting returned, it was already half an hour later, and his expression was dark, unapproachable.

Bai Lan felt a pang in her heart, guessing somewhat, “Did Mom say something?”

It must be about her, alas, she guessed as much.

“No, just mentioned that Dad’s birthday is coming up soon, she wanted me to handle the booking of the hotel and the banquet details,” Zhou Shengting lightly responded.

“Is it something I did that upset Mom again?” Bai Lan calmly asked.

“Nonsense, you don’t need to bother with her,” Zhou Shengting felt his anger rise when he thought about what his mother had just said.

His mother had actually said something so outrageous, telling him not to bring Bai Lan to his father’s birthday banquet.

Bai Lan is his wife, his beloved wife.

Why could his mother say such a thing? Why doesn’t she consider his feelings at all?

Just now on the phone, he had indignantly reiterated, “No matter who it is, nobody can make Bai Lan sad.”

It was imaginable how furious Zhou’s mother was on the other end of the phone.

But there was nothing she could do about it.
