The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Chapter 49 Zhou Yanhuan, do you really not cherish your career?

Just as Zhou Yanhuan hung up the phone, a slight noise came from the crib.

Zhou Yanhuan's heart jumped, and she quickly walked to the crib to check anxiously to see if the baby had woken up.

Inside the crib, the older brother, dressed in a blue outfit, had already opened his eyes, while the younger sister remained peacefully asleep, completely unaffected by her brother.

The moment his older brother saw Zhou Yanhuan, he, who had been quietly playing with his fingers after waking up, suddenly became unusually lively. Although he was just a baby less than a month old, he seemed to already recognize that Zhou Yanhuan was the best person in the world to him.

The older brother gave Zhou Yanhuan a toothless smile, babbling in a language only he could understand. His adorable appearance seemed to tell Zhou Yanhuan that he was in a very good mood and loved seeing her.

Looking at the little guy in front of her, Zhou Yanhuan's face was filled with maternal love. She bent down and carefully held him in her arms, as if she were holding the whole world.

Zhou Yanhuan gently tapped the nose of the little one in her arms, her voice gentle and delicate: "Oh dear, you little rascal, everyone says that babies need to sleep more, and you're not even a month old yet. Sleeping more will help you grow up quickly!"

The baby in Zhou Yanhuan's arms seemed to understand Zhou Yanhuan's words. The little hand tightly grasped the finger that Zhou Yanhuan had just used to tap his nose, and even gave Zhou Yanhuan a cute toothless smile.

Zhou Yanhuan watched his series of actions with astonishment, her heart filled with a sense of novelty. This child seemed different from ordinary babies, appearing exceptionally intelligent and quick-witted. However, in any case, he was still just a baby not yet a month old.

Zhou Yanhuan looked at the child in her arms with a helpless yet doting expression, and whispered to him, "Baby, if you want to play, Mommy can play with you for a little while, but only for a little while. After that, we need to drink milk and sleep a lot, okay? That way you can grow up quickly."

Just as Zhou Yanhuan finished speaking, her phone, which she had casually tossed onto the bedside table, suddenly rang with a crisp ringtone.

Zhou Yanhuan first adjusted her posture while holding the child, then quickly picked up her phone with her other hand, pressed the answer button, and immediately pressed the speakerphone button.

"Miss, your friend Mr. Lu Chengzhou and his agent are here to see you." The calm yet kind voice of Butler Zhou came from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yanhuan knew why they had come here. They must have seen the trending topic about her, which was why they rushed over so quickly.

Zhou Yanhuan's tone remained calm: "Grandpa Butler Zhou, I understand. You can send someone to bring them to the main building. I'll wait for them in the study."

"Yes, Miss, I will have someone take them to the study." Butler Zhou replied respectfully, his tone firm.

The two then hung up the phone.

At this moment, Zhou Yanhuan knew that taking the child to see Lu Chengzhou and his agent, Sister Meng, was not a wise move. However, after hesitating for several minutes, she resolutely picked up the child and went to the study together. After all, this was something she would have to face sooner or later, so she might as well face it bravely now.

Zhou Yanhuan silently told herself, "I'll find out sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go crazy for a bit." With a relieved smile, she picked up her son and left the room, heading towards the study.

The study was filled with the faint scent of books, spacious and bright. Zhou Yanhuan sat on a red velvet European-style sofa not far from her desk, holding her son, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and nervousness.

While waiting, Zhou Yanhuan suddenly remembered that she needed to make milk for her son. So, she went back to her room, held her son in one arm, picked up his special bottle with the other, and skillfully made his milk.

After preparing the formula, Zhou Yanhuan carried her son to the crib to check on her daughter.

She carefully approached the crib, her eyes gentle and concerned. Watching her daughter sleep peacefully in the crib, a satisfied smile spread across her face. She gently stroked her daughter's hair, feeling its warmth and softness.

After confirming that her daughter was alright, Zhou Yanhuan picked up her son again, took his food, and returned to the study. She sat in a European-style chair, placed her son on her lap, and adjusted his position to make him more comfortable.

Zhou Yanhuan gently opened the dust cap on the bottle and carefully brought the nipple to her son's mouth. She first dripped a drop of milk on the back of her hand to test the temperature, and only after ensuring it was suitable did she confidently put the nipple into her child's mouth. The little guy immediately began to suckle, his little mouth tightly holding the nipple, enjoying the sweet milk flavor.

Just then, a maid led Lu Chengzhou and his agent in. The maid led them to the study door, politely opened it, and invited them in. Then, the maid quietly withdrew and closed the door.

Lu Chengzhou had come in a fit of rage to confront Zhou Yanhuan, but when he stepped into the study and his gaze fell upon her, he froze. He saw Zhou Yanhuan intently holding the bottle, gently feeding the child, and the heartwarming scene touched him deeply.

Meng Jie, following closely behind Lu Chengzhou, also witnessed this scene and was stunned. They were deeply moved by the sight before them, and their original anger and questioning seemed to vanish without a trace.

Is this really the Zhou Yanhuan they know? So gentle, so different from her usual self. And whose child is she holding now? Everyone was filled with doubt.

As if sensing their arrival, Zhou Yanhuan looked up and saw them, then calmly said, "You're here, please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengzhou and Sister Meng both snapped out of their daze.

They then sat down on the sofa next to Zhou Yanhuan. Lu Chengzhou's gaze remained fixed on the child in Zhou Yanhuan's arms.

After a few seconds, seeing that Zhou Yanhuan didn't respond, Lu Chengzhou asked directly, "Did you see the headlines about you today? The internet is full of negative comments and criticisms. Don't you want to clarify things? Also, who are those two men?"

Then he pressed on, "And whose child is this in your arms? Don't tell me it's your child."

Zhou Yanhuan glanced at Lu Chengzhou, then quickly shifted her gaze to the child, replying calmly, "This is my child, my own flesh and blood."

Meng Jie and Lu Chengzhou were both shocked by Zhou Yanhuan's words, especially Lu Chengzhou, who was genuinely frightened.

Lu Chengzhou roared furiously, "Zhou Yanhuan, don't you fucking lie to me! When did you give birth to this child? Do you think I wouldn't know? Tell me, whose child is it?"

Faced with Lu Chengzhou's overwhelming rage, Zhou Yanhuan remained remarkably calm. She answered unhurriedly, "Why would I lie to you? This is indeed my child. You know me well. If I really wanted to hide the birth of my child from someone, I could do it perfectly smoothly."

Sister Meng then pressed on, "Did you deliberately release that news last time? Is one of the two men in the photo really the child's father?"

Zhou Yanhuan noticed that her son had finished drinking his milk, so she gently put down the bottle and then gently patted his back to help him burp.

After doing all this, Zhou Yanhuan raised her head, looked calmly at Sister Meng, and said in a calm tone, "I didn't release the information. I have always hoped to protect the child and not let him be disturbed by the outside world, but now that things have come to this, it seems that the Zhou family and the Xie family want to use this to retaliate against me and force me to submit, so they released the news."

Zhou Yanhuan took a deep breath and continued to explain: "The man in the photos on the internet is indeed my relative and family member. But the truth is not as the internet says. There is no messy relationship between us. In fact, there were four people present at the time, and there was a girl who they did not show."

After hearing this, Lu Chengzhou tried to calm his agitated emotions and then asked seriously, "Who is the child's biological father? No matter what, you have to let me know who he is! After all, we grew up together, and I don't want to see you being deceived by other men. I have to keep an eye on things for you."

However, when Zhou Yanhuan heard this question, her heart sank instantly, and the sadness on her face became obvious. She slowly replied, "I am currently pregnant out of wedlock because the father of the child has left. So I plan to raise the child alone and become a single mother."

"What? Zhou Yanhuan, you're pregnant out of wedlock? Don't you value your career at all? You should know that as a public figure, if this gets exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"How come I never noticed before that you were so love-struck? What kind of man would make you do this?" Lu Chengzhou asked angrily upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's answer.

Zhou Yanhuan's face remained expressionless as she calmly said, "Lu Chengzhou, could you please keep your voice down? Don't scare my son. As for why I would go to such lengths for a man, I can only tell you that the child's father is a hero." Her eyes were firm and bright, as if expressing the most sincere emotions deep within her heart.

Then, Zhou Yanhuan slightly raised her head, looked into the distance, and slowly said, "I am willing to give him everything." Her voice was soft yet firm, revealing a kind of persistence.

Looking at Zhou Yanhuan's appearance, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but say with a hint of exasperation, "What a hopeless romantic!" His tone was filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction.

However, Zhou Yanhuan did not respond to Lu Chengzhou's accusations; she simply smiled and seemed completely unconcerned by his words.
