Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 720 - Zhang Leyan (3)

Around midnight, Zhang Jiren's car pulled to a stop at his front door before he stepped out of it, allowing his driver to bring the car to the garage before he went into his home. His driver as well as his assistant, Liu Kai had been working along with him on a hectic schedule to accommodate his even crazier one.

However, for the past six years that they worked with him, Zhang Jiren had never once heard them complain about their jobs. Fortunately for him, they were satisfied with their generous pay and benefits their family could enjoy and afford. It was hard for Zhang Jiren to find other trustworthy subordinates like them, so he made sure that their hard work would be paid off.

When he entered the villa he now shared with Li Meili, he was immediately greeted by the old housekeeper that Chairman Li sent to them a few weeks ago. Chairman Li claimed that the old woman was there to help them with household chores and to take care of his wife, but Zhang Jiren knew better.

The old woman was here to be the eyes and ears of Chairman Li. It's understandable that his father-in-law didn't truly trust him because he was a Zhang. Because of this, he and Li Meili had to act like a couple whenever this old housekeeper was around.

"How's Meili? Is she still upset?" He asked after removing his coat, passing it to the housekeeper.

"She didn't eat her lunch but when Madam Feng came for a visit, she had a snack in the afternoon and had dinner with her." The old woman said truthfully.

He hadn't had lunch either. It was difficult for him to have a decent appetite after his first fight with Li Meili last night, but he didn't voice it out. If only someone could tell him what was really going on in his pregnant wife's mind, he would pay them a hefty reward for helping him.

Zhang Jiren hated it when women said 'it's complicated' because it would be easier to believe the crow's feather would turn white instead of figuring out what exactly 'complicated' means for women.

"I see. That's good then." He pressed his mouth together and forced a smile for the housekeeper's benefit. "I knew Miss Tang would be able to make her happy at least."

Fortunately for them, she didn't miscarry her child and was instructed to be on a complete bed rest for two weeks by her doctor. However, Li Meili would hear none of it as she had decided to finish the dress she was making for the competition before she gave birth to Leyan.

Ha. Zhang Leyan. Zhang Jiren excused himself and went upstairs to check on his pregnant wife.

It was in a spur of the moment when Li Meili asked him if he could give her baby a name. It caught him off guard and he was rendered speechless for a few seconds.

"I'm bad at naming. Since you are the smarter between the two of us, why don't you give her a name?" Li Meili asked him while he was busy finishing some of the work he took home that weekend.

Zhang Jiren wanted to argue that he was in no position to name her baby as their deal was for him to act and pose as her husband for two years and not play as a father to her child even though she would be using the Zhang family name to cover her real paternity relation to Tang Beixuan.

He stopped whatever he was doing and looked at Li Meili's smiling face. They just found out the gender of her baby that morning when he accompanied her for her check up.

"Leyan. Her name will be Zhang Leyan." He told her after a long silence between them. He couldn't think of any name befitting of her child and that was the first name that came to his mind.

"Leyan? What does it mean though?" Li Meili leaned on his desk to see what he was working on but the graph and the amount of numbers she saw on the papers was enough to make her feel dizzy.

"Urgh, you are just like Moyu. Did the two of you eat numbers as breakfast when you were younger?" She g.r.o.a.n.e.d and stepped back, making Zhang Jiren smile a little. If only she knew that he was Tang Moyu's twin brother then she would understand.

"So why Leyan?" She asked him curiously.

Zhang Jiren took a pen from his drawer and scribbled the name Leyan on the paper in front of him. historical

"Because Leyan means happiness and beautiful." He started. "Happiness because she was the joy of the love you and Tang Beixuan shared, and Beautiful because I don't doubt that she will become a great beauty in the future like her mother."

Li Meili didn't say a word in response and only thanked him with a slight blush on her face before leaving him on his own.

Zhang Jiren thought she didn't approve of the name he suggested, but he'd overheard her whispering words to her unborn child, calling her Leyan as she rubbed her bump. She seemed really pleased with the name as she started using it to call her baby now.

Zhang Jiren wasn't sure what to feel about it, but seeing her happy made him feel content. However, lately he was starting to wonder if he was only treating her good out of gratitude and because Tang Moyu told him to do so or if there's something else more than a contract marriage between the two of them.
