The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Xu Xiuhe pondered for a moment and said to Zhengzheng, "Zhengzheng, can you go and call Mom for Dad?"

Upon hearing this, Zhengzheng readily agreed and toddled out of the study into Shen Yin's room.

In a soft, childish voice, Zhengzheng said, "Mom, Dad wants you to come to his room."

Shen Yin couldn't help but feel moved upon hearing Zhengzheng call her "Mom" once again. It would be insincere to say that she wasn't touched. In this era, she was perhaps regarded as family, and the only one who had sentimental feelings for her was this little darling in front of her.

Shen Yin's eyes were slightly moist as she lifted Zhengzheng up and said, "Alright, let's go together."

Inside the study, Chang Zhiyuan was in conversation with Xu Xiuhe. Even though the door was open, Shen Yin still knocked before entering.

The study was quite spacious, with several large bookshelves, a desk, and an exquisite set of sofas. It was her first time entering the study, and she felt a little unsure.

Xu Xiuhe said, "Zhengzheng will probably start filming in the next two days. You need to accompany him. Let me know if you need anything."

Shen Yin had never been on a film set before and didn't know what was needed. She replied casually, "I haven't been on a film set either. Just let me know what preparations are necessary."

Then she looked at Zhengzheng and asked, "Zhengzheng, is there anything you want?"

Understanding her question, Zhengzheng replied, "I want food."

Shen Yin instantly smiled, realizing that she seemed to have a peculiar sense of humor when she was with Zhengzheng.

Xu Xiuhe stared at her for a few seconds and said, "I'll prepare a room with a kitchen for you."

Chang Zhiyuan, who was standing nearby, was truly astonished and felt like a third wheel in this situation. He spoke up, "You two can continue talking. Just so you know, I'll come to pick you up when it's time to go to the film set. Feel free to ask if you need anything. I'll take my leave now."

Chang Zhiyuan's polite words were entirely due to Shen Yin's presence. Normally, he wouldn't be so courteous to Xu Xiuhe.

After Chang Zhiyuan left, there were only the three of them in the room. Zhengzheng sat on the sofa, looking at his own storybook. Shen Yin stood there feeling a bit awkward, thinking of going back to her own room, when Xu Xiuhe spoke up.

"Zhengzheng, Mom and Dad are going out to have a chat. You stay here and read your book."

Zhengzheng nodded, and Shen Yin was curious about what Xu Xiuhe was going to say, so she followed him out.

The room had good sound insulation, so as soon as they left the study and closed the door, they could have their conversation in the hallway.

Xu Xiuhe spoke first, "I think we need to have a good discussion."

Shen Yin also felt that it would be better to clarify certain things. "I don't know what your situation is right now, but I hope we can continue as we have been. Zhengzheng is still young, and I don't want him to be harmed in any way."

Shen Yin had a general idea of what Xu Xiuhe meant. He was telling her not to cause any more trouble in the future.

"Alright, I understand. It was my fault before, but from now on, I'll treat Zhengzheng well," Shen Yin sincerely replied, leaving Xu Xiuhe momentarily at a loss for words. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke.

"Okay, as long as you understand. Let me know if there's anything you want to discuss with me."

Shen Yin nodded and returned to her own room.

Xu Xiuhe and Shen Yin, upon seeing the situation, didn't say anything. They opened the study door and accompanied Zhengzheng inside.

After returning to her room, Shen Yin fell into deep thought. What should she bring to the set the day after tomorrow? Xu Xiuhe would take care of the other items, but what about her personal belongings?

Identity card, phone charger, change of clothes, and the various bottles and jars on the table.

The original owner's skin was just like hers—flawless, smooth, and fair. She hardly ever wore makeup and could easily outshine many others who did.

Shen Yin looked at herself in the mirror and gently touched her face, marveling at the quality of mirrors in this era. She decided not to bring any cosmetics.

On the day they were to go to the set, Chang Zhiyuan came to pick them up. Xu Xiuhe had deliberately skipped going to the company this morning.

Pointing at the girl who got out of the car with him, Chang Zhiyuan said, "Sister-in-law, this is the assistant I found for you. She knows how to take care of children."

The girl was about 1.6 meters tall and looked honest and sincere.

Shen Yin replied, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Chang Zhiyuan quickly added, "No trouble at all, really."

Xu Xiuhe, holding Zhengzheng in his arms, also chimed in, "Thank you for your hard work." His soft tone amused everyone present.

Looking at Zhengzheng in his arms, Xu Xiuhe turned to Shen Yin and asked, "Is one assistant enough, or should I arrange for another one?"

Shen Yin had trusted the people who used to serve her in the past, but they still made mistakes and failed to call for help, leading to her ending up here. Now, the fewer people around her, the better.

"No need, one is enough. Oh, by the way, what's your name?" Shen Yin asked.

When the girl heard the question directed at her, she immediately replied, "Madam, my name is Yan Yan."

Shen Yin took Zhengzheng from Xu Xiuhe's arms and settled into the back seat.

"Yan Yan, you can bring your bag from the suitcase and come up as well."

Seeing this, Chang Zhiyuan and Xu Xiuhe immediately moved the two suitcases from the back to the trunk.

Chang Zhiyuan sat in the driver's seat and Xu Xiuhe couldn't help but say, "Take good care of them."

He then turned to Shen Yin and said, "If there's any situation, call me. Let me know if you need anything."

After Shen Yin promised, the car drove away.

Upon arriving at the set, Shen Yin went to the hotel arranged by Chang Zhiyuan, undoubtedly the best in the area.

Chang Zhiyuan said, "Sister-in-law, I've taken care of everything with the director. Tomorrow, someone will come to pick you up and take you to the shooting location."

Shen Yin replied, "Okay."

Chang Zhiyuan escorted Shen Yin, Zhengzheng, and Yan Yan to the entrance of their room.

The room was a suite with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.

Chang Zhiyuan said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to take care of, so I'll leave now." Then he turned to Yan Yan and added, "Take good care of them and report any situation to me."

When they came, Xu Xiuhe had emphasized on his phone several times to ensure the safety of Shen Yin and Zhengzheng and to pay attention to Shen Yin's condition.

Yan Yan replied, "Understood, boss. I'll report to you anytime."

After Chang Zhiyuan left, Shen Yin held Zhengzheng and took a quick look around the room, saying, "Yan Yan, you can stay in the other room and tidy up the luggage."

Shen Yin: "Alright, Madam. I see there are vegetables and various fruits in the kitchen. Do you need me to cook?"

Considering that Zhengzheng has been sitting in the car for a long time and might be tired, Shen Yin agrees because it's not convenient to go out again to get food.

"Baby, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Zhengzheng, nestled in Shen Yin's arms, twirls her hair and says, "I want to eat meat."

Shen Yin already had a hunch that this child loves to eat meat.

"Yanyan, see what kind of meat we have in the refrigerator."

Yanyan opens the refrigerator and says, "We have shrimp, pork belly, beef, eggs, tomatoes, preserved eggs, and some vegetables like broccoli. There's also plenty of fruit, Madam."

Shen Yin speculates that this much food must have been prepared by Xu Xiuhe or Chang Zhiyuan.

"Alright, Yanyan, just follow my instructions later. The three of us can't eat much, so let's make lean pork and preserved egg congee, stir-fried broccoli with shrimp, braised beef with tomatoes, and blanched greens."

Yanyan also notices that Shen Yin is a good person, without any airs, and extremely gentle with the baby.

Yanyan has learned how to cook, but she's a bit doubtful when Shen Yin tells her to do it later.

Shen Yin realizes this and says, "Just follow my instructions step by step."

An hour later, on the dining table, there are three dishes, a pot of congee, and two plates of fruit.

Shen Yin sits down with Zhengzheng in her arms since there's no baby chair in the room.

Yanyan says, "Madam, shall I call someone to bring a baby chair?"

Shen Yin replies, "It's fine, I'll hold him. You sit down and eat too."

This is the first time Shen Yin has held Zhengzheng while eating. Zhengzheng is well-behaved and everything he eats seems delicious to him.

Yanyan also eats the dishes she made and is amazed after the first bite.

"Madam, you're really amazing. I've never cooked such delicious food myself."

Shen Yin smiles and says, "You can make more in the future."

After the meal, Yanyan tidies up the table and kitchen, and Shen Yin takes Zhengzheng back to the bedroom.

Suddenly, Shen Yin realizes that she has never slept with Zhengzheng before, let alone giving him a bath later.

Shen Yin says, "Yanyan, after you finish tidying up, come to my room."

Yanyan replies, "I'm almost done. I'll come in a moment."

Shen Yin takes off Zhengzheng's shoes and places him on the bed. She takes out two early education picture books from the suitcase and puts them in front of Zhengzheng.

"Zhengzheng, you can look at the books first. Mommy has prepared the things you need for a bath, okay?"

Zhengzheng takes the picture books and shows his little milk teeth to Shen Yin, saying, "Okay."

Shen Yin takes out the pajamas Zhengzheng will wear from the suitcase and adjusts the indoor temperature of the air conditioner to a suitable level. She's already quite familiar with this world and has learned various skills.

Baby bath gel, shampoo, baby lotion... Shen Yin realizes that these items are all packed in one bag. It seems that Song Mama has already left, so Xu Xiuhe or Chang Zhiyuan must have prepared them.

It must be said that in Shen Yin's eyes, Xu Xiuhe was indeed a good father.

Soon, Shen Yin felt sentimental again, remembering that her own father had been good to her before Xu Zhen came into the picture.

After tidying up, Yan Yan knocked on Shen Yin's door, bringing her thoughts back.

Shen Yin: "Come in."

Yan Yan pushed the door open and saw Shen Yin taking out the baby's toiletries. She asked, "Madam, are you going to bathe the baby?"

Shen Yin: "Yes, Yan Yan, please go inside and fill up the water, and bring this bag in too. I'll take Zhengzheng in later."

Shen Yin stood up and walked to the side of the bed. "Zhengzheng, we're going to take a bath."
