Chapter 2398: Marrying You is My Greatest Happiness

Zhou Andong pushed open the door and went out of the house, his figure bathed in the morning sun, with the chirping of unknown birds and the sound of flowing water from the rockery in his ears. He stood at the door, took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and then raised his arms to stretch.

The gazes of several girls converged on Zhou Andong, first with astonishment, and immediately after, excitement surged into their hearts like a tide.

Mu Yun was the most lively. She jumped a few steps to Zhou Andong's side, grabbed his arm, and shouted with a full face of excitement: "Chairman Zhou, you are actually Xiaoqin's brother. Our names only differ by one word; we should have thought of it long ago."

Liu Zhenyan and the other girls were no longer reserved, surrounding Zhou Andong one after another, surrounding him in the middle. They were talking one after another, chirping like dozens of sparrows in his ears.

"Can you give me an autograph and take a photo with me!" Mu Yun said excitedly, the light of expectation flashing in her eyes.

"And us!" Liu Zhenyan and the others were not to be outdone, echoing one after another: "We are good sisters with Xiaoqin, it's no problem to call you Big Brother..."

After all, they were college students, different from Chen Baolong and the others. They had knowledge and insight. After the initial surprise, they were excited and thrilled; nervousness was impossible.

"No problem, no problem!" Facing this group of enthusiastic girls, Zhou Andong felt a headache from the noise, and hurriedly raised his hand to let them quiet down: "Everyone will be working at home for the next few days, so there is plenty of time. Whether it's taking photos or signing autographs, you can do it anytime, no need to rush!"

"Alright, alright!" Zhou Anqin looked at these little women in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little funny, hurriedly pulling them away, which was considered to have relieved her brother: "Brother, let me introduce them to you."

Zhou Anqin pointed to Mu Yun and said: "This little beauty is called Mu Yun, and this is Liu Zhenyan, Zou Hui, Huang Liming, Zheng Weihong!"

Zhou Andong greeted them again: "Hello!"

"Hello, Big Brother!" Mu Yun was the most lively, shouting with a smile, her watery peach blossom eyes staring straight at Zhou Andong, as if countless little stars were flashing inside.

Zhou Andong was amused by Mu Yun: "You are all Xiaoqin's good sisters, so you are also my sisters. Don't be too restrained at home, just tell Xiaoqin if you need anything."

"I know, Big Brother!" Mu Yun said happily: "If I need anything, I will definitely tell Xiaoqin, who let her have a big tycoon brother!"

"Alright, then you guys chat slowly, I'll go to the back to see my wife and daughter." Zhou Andong waved to the girls and walked toward the back.

Zhou Andong came to the back building and walked slowly to the second floor. Just as he reached the door, a burst of guitar sound entered his ears. It was just that this guitar playing was not much better than playing cotton.

Zhou Andong stood at the door and listened for a while, a smile appearing on his face. No need to think, the one playing the guitar must be Jian Qiu. Because in this room, except for his old mother and old mother-in-law, Fourth Sister and Su Su always ran here, and no one else would come.

But these four people would play the guitar for no reason, so, except for Jian Qiu, there would be no one else. It was just that he was very curious, why did his wife suddenly think of learning to play the guitar?

Zhou

Zhou Andong walked over and asked in a low voice: "Wife, why did you suddenly want to learn to play the guitar?"

Jian Qiu raised her head, and seeing it was her man, a happy smile immediately bloomed on her face: "I was so bored staying in the room, and the piano is too big, it's too much trouble to move it over, so I asked Old Four to bring the guitar over for me to pass the time."

As she spoke, Jian Qiu laughed inexplicably: "In case our family goes bankrupt in the future, with your talent in music, the two of us can form a husband-and-wife act. Releasing an album, doing gigs, singing songs—supporting the family definitely won't be a problem."

"Do you want me to teach you?" Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh too, then picked up a book Jian Qiu had placed beside her; the cover had the words "Basic Guitar Instruction" printed on it in large characters.

"No need!" Jian Qiu refused: "The guitar is still very easy to learn; I'll just practice a bit every day."

Zhou Andong nodded. The guitar is indeed very easy to learn and easy to pick up. As long as one has enough patience and practices consistently every day, in two or three months, one can enable a person with zero foundation to play some simple tunes. However, to truly play the guitar well, it is impossible without long-term study and practice.

However, Zhou Andong still had a lot of confidence in Jian Qiu. After all, she understood music theory and played the piano so well; learning the guitar should be a very simple matter for her.

"Practice well!" Zhou Andong's gaze fell on Jian Qiu: "On the day of the wedding, the two of us can sing a song together."

"That's a good idea!" A smile couldn't help but bloom at the corners of Jian Qiu's mouth, like spring flowers opening, and she asked with great anticipation: "You said before that you wanted to give me a song at the wedding; have you written it yet?"

Zhou Andong cupped Jian Qiu's smooth, delicate, porcelain-like face, then bent down and kissed her lips lightly: "It's written, and it's not just one song!"

A happy smile bloomed on Jian Qiu's face. She tilted her body slightly, like a lazy little cat, leaning quietly against Zhou Andong's waist, feeling his body temperature and breath.

Zhou Andong stroked Jian Qiu's hair and continued in a low voice: "I want to make the wedding lively and make you the happiest bride in this world."

"For me, marrying you is my greatest happiness!" Jian Qiu raised her head, her gaze meeting Zhou Andong's. In both their eyes, there was only each other, as if the whole world only had the two of them left.

"Ahem!" Suddenly, a very untimely cough broke the warm tranquility, but the two of them seemed not to have heard it, continuing to maintain their embrace in a clingy manner.

"Can you two please be mindful of the influence?" Gu Minglan said with great dissatisfaction: "This old woman doesn't want to get a sty in her eye!"

Hearing Gu Minglan's words, after Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu looked at each other, the two of them laughed in unison. The laughter echoed in the room, full of happiness and sweetness.

Gu Minglan glared at the two of them in annoyance, then shook her head helplessly: "Little Feather is awake!"

"My daughter is awake!" Zhou Andong immediately turned like an arrow released from a bow, rushing into the bedroom in a few steps, where he saw the little one staring with a pair of round, big eyes, looking around curiously. Her little arms and legs were waving incessantly, and she was making "ah-ooh-ah" sounds, as if greeting this world.

"My precious daughter!" Zhou Andong called out softly with a face full of smiles. He bent down slowly, carefully extended his hands, gently lifted the soft little body, and then slowly straightened up, letting the little treasure lean securely in the crook of his arm.

Zhou Andong lowered his head to gaze at the little one in his arms, his eyes filled with endless love and doting. He lowered his head slightly and kissed that pink, tender little cheek gently.

Jian Qiu walked quietly into the bedroom. She clearly felt Zhou Andong's deep fatherly love, and the happy expression on her face grew even more intense. She walked slowly to Zhou Andong's side and gently extended her hand, wanting to take Little Feather from Zhou Andong's arms.

"I'll come and feed her!"

"She isn't crying or fussing, she definitely isn't hungry, why feed her?" Zhou Andong looked at the little person in his arms, muttering, but still reluctantly placed Little Feather into her mother's arms.

Jian Qiu took Little Feather, skillfully held her in her arms, then got onto the bed, unbuttoned her top, and fed the child. Zhou Andong stood to the side, watching quietly, a silly smile showing on his face.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A heavy knocking on the door suddenly rang out, followed immediately by a crisp and loud voice: "Mom, Liu Laolao, open the door!"

It was Su Su who was shouting to open the door, but it must have been Old Four who was knocking like that; after all, her little arms didn't have such great strength to knock on the door so loudly.

"Coming, coming!" Gu Minglan hurriedly replied, walked quickly to the door, and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, Su Su's happy voice came in again: "Liu Laolao!"

Su Su could speak very fluently now, completely without the previous stumbling: "I'm going to see my little sister!"

Before Gu Minglan could react, she heard the sound of running footsteps, and like a whirlwind, Su Su rushed straight into the bedroom.

When she saw Zhou Andong, she suddenly froze for a moment. It was only for an instant, then Su Su reacted, shouted "Dad" excitedly, and threw herself onto Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong hurriedly bent down to pick Su Su up and kissed her several times. When he left in the morning, the little girl hadn't gotten up yet. When he returned at night, the little girl was already asleep, so he hadn't seen Su Su for several days.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

Zhou Andong's beard tickled Su Su, and the little girl's silver-bell-like laughter echoed in the room. Her tender little hands pushed against Zhou Andong's head, and she kept shouting: "Dad's beard is prickly!"

Zhou Andong was amused by Su Su until he laughed out loud. He dodged Su Su's little hands, then, taking advantage of when Su Su wasn't paying attention, quickly rubbed his chin against her soft little cheek a few times.

The father and daughter messed around for quite a while, Su Su's laughter growing louder and louder, and the whole room was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Finally, Zhou Andong placed Su Su gently on the bed and said to her tenderly: "Alright, baby, go see your little sister!"

As soon as Zhou Andong turned around, he saw Old Four standing at the door, arms crossed, pouting at him. Her round little face revealed disdain, and her eyes were mocking him without any concealment.

"What are you pouting for?" Zhou Andong glared and said in annoyance: "What kind of expression is that? Is your skin itching?"

"Tch!" Old Four let out a very disdainful "tch" and turned to walk away.

"Hey?" Zhou Andong chased after her indignantly: "Zhou Anning, you stand still for me. What do you mean by this? You must give me an explanation!"
