Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161 Good News

“What?”

“I said it’s a niece, not a nephew,” Zhou Hengyang corrected with increasing seriousness.

He certainly didn’t want some stinky little boy competing with him for Wenwen’s affection.

Su Xiu was somewhat speechless; she really hadn’t expected her brother-in-law, who always seemed somewhat stern at home, to actually correct her on such trivial matters.

As long as it was Big Sister’s child, boy or girl, Su Xiu would be happy with either.

“All good, all good,” Su Xiu didn’t understand Zhou Hengyang’s insistence and chuckled before hurriedly going to see Big Sister.

Zhou Hengyang had wanted to stop her; Wenwen was asleep, and he didn’t want anyone disturbing her. However, since Su Xiu was his sister-in-law, it wasn’t easy to say anything, so he let it be. Moreover, with Su Xiu in the room, it wouldn’t be proper for him to follow.

So Zhou Hengyang stood with his arms crossed, pacing back and forth downstairs, occasionally casting watchful glances at the young boy who was brewing medicine, making him feel immensely pressured. Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, he shooed the boy out.

After leaving the kitchen, Zhou Hengyang started pacing in the living room and eventually decided to make a phone call.

He was too excited and wanted to share the news with the whole world.

So naturally, the first call was to his brother.

“Hello?” On the phone, Zhou Hengguang’s voice sounded raspy and confused, “What’s it this time?”

Just an hour and a half earlier, the two brothers had been on the phone.

“Hengguang, I’ve got some great news for you,” Zhou Hengyang said.

“What great news?” Zhou Hengguang perked up. Whatever made Big Brother so happy had to be super good news. But he truly couldn’t think of any news that would make Big Brother so visibly joyful.

“Guess.”

Zhou Hengguang: “…”

Had Big Brother eaten something wrong? Or was someone else posing as him on the phone?

“Big Brother, what did I enjoy most when I was a kid?” Zhou Hengguang suddenly asked.

“Watching other people fight.”

Zhou Hengguang: “…” Alright! That was definitely his Big Brother.

“I can’t guess.”

“So dumb,” Zhou Hengyang scolded with utter disdain, “Isn’t your brain supposed to be the smartest? How can you not guess? I think you’re just slow. How could I have a brother as slow as you?”

“It’s not… Big Brother, that’s going too far. You’re the one being weird, and you’re calling me dumb.” His intelligence couldn’t be questioned, “Just tell me, or else I’m hanging up.”

“I’ve become a dad,” Zhou Hengyang didn’t keep him in suspense this time. However, he did something even more infuriating because, right after revealing this earth-shattering news, he hung up without a second’s delay.

And he didn’t care what his brother on the other end of the phone thought or wanted to say.

Not only that, but he immediately dialed another number, blocking Zhou Hengguang’s calls for half an hour non-stop.

And now, unable to go out or get through by phone, Zhou Hengguang was nearly driven to fury.

After sharing the good news, Zhou Hengyang calmed down and then called Liu Chun to make some work arrangements before he started giving instructions to his secretary remotely, handling his work. For quite some time to come, he wouldn’t be working overtime again.

Come evening, when the whole family was back home, the news of Big Sister’s pregnancy had all the sisters grinning like fools with happiness. Moreover, Su Xue had also come home from school; with a three-day New Year’s break, she returned and brought Cao Jun along as well.

This had been arranged by Su Wen in advance. To prepare for the busy opening day tomorrow, Su Xue and Cao Jun would help out as staff.

With their excellent image and youthful vitality, they brought a good mood just by being seen.
