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

Chapter 845 - Finale: Zhang Jiren x Li Meili (1)

It was a rare weekend that Li Meili could have her husband all for herself. With Leyan having a day out with her brother and Meng Yanran, she didn't need to worry about her daughter for the meantime. Also, Zhang Jiren rarely took a day off from work so she thought that they could catch up and have some quality time together.

She should be happy and satisfied but as she laid her head on his l.a.p while they were inside their home theater, Zhang Jiren seemed so engrossed on the screen that he barely said anything since the film started playing.

It had been a year since his surgery and Zhang Jiren had finally recovered from it. Right now, he was working as the newest Black Nightingale's executive manager after Elaine Wu resigned from her position to take over their family business in Singapore.

Even though he was now a manager in her business, Zhang Jiren never received any compensation from it. Li Meili objected, but her husband insisted that she didn't need to pay him.

After his fall out with the Zhang family and inheriting most of their assets, Zhang Jiren was practically one of the wealthiest individuals in Shenzhen right now. It didn't matter if he earned nothing from Black Nightingale since most of his investments were doing well at the moment.

Zhang Jiren continued to ignore his wife much to Li Meili's chagrin. This man could really be slow at times. He was oblivious that she was seething in anger right now. How frustrating! Li Meili thought. Although she knew the reason why Zhang Jiren didn't want to have another child, that didn't mean she agreed with him.

"It's not like I abhor the idea of having a child with you, Meili," he once told her. "But I worry that our child will inherit my illness. I also don't want to see you in pain again. It would break my heart if I see you cry because of me."

He had been worried, waiting outside the delivery room when she was in labor with Leyan, so how could he agree to experience the same anxiety all over again?

He sounded so sweet, yet it wasn't enough to convince Li Meili, who decided to have another child to accompany her young daughter.

"Don't you want to have a child of your own? Do you really want Leyan to grow up without a sibling to rely on in the future? I don't mind giving birth to another baby. You are worrying too much, Jiren!" She frowned at him. "Medicine and technology would surely improve over time. Why are you worrying about a problem that doesn't exist in the first place?"

Her husband looked sad but his expression softened as he imagined the life he could have with her in the future.

"It's enough that I have you and Leyan in my life, Meili. I wouldn't dare to ask for more," he said timidly.

As someone who grew up alone in the past, Zhang Jiren didn't dare to hope too much in fear that he would lose those he held close to his heart. He also didn't want to put his wife's life in danger as he knew carrying and giving birth to a child could be dangerous to a woman.

Li Meili harrumphed and turned her back on him.

"You worry too much!"

Still, she wasn't able to convince Zhang Jiren who had now assumed his real identity as Tang Lingjun after his real identity was revealed in public. Now, he and Leyan bore the Tang family name and would continue its legacy. It wasn't easy for the people around them to get used to his real name and still called him 'Jiren'.

As she lay on the couch, waiting for her husband to say something, Li Meili pondered if she should just leave him be. She didn't think it would be a bad idea to have another child aside from Leyan who was now spending more time at her parents' place than staying at home with her.

She harshly stood up, glaring at her husband before walking out of their theater room leaving Zhang Jiren confused by her actions, his eyes following her retreating figure.

"Meili, I thought you like this movie? Where are you going?" he called after her but he was ignored. Wasn't she the one who asked him to stay at home today and not go to work?

Sighing to himself, he paused the film they were watching and followed Li Meili only to find her sulking in her work room again. It wasn't hard for him to know that she was upset with him yet again, and why.

Hadn't they agreed already that Leyan was enough for them? Did she really want to have another baby after what she had experienced from her last pregnancy?

"Meili…" he called out the second time but she only gave him a fierce glare before turning her attention back to the reports Zhi Ruo brought to her that morning.

Having a capable manager had surely made Li Meili's work easier with Zhang Jiren overseeing the management of her stores while she focused on the design department. How lucky could she be?

Alas, the one thing she wanted right now seemed impossible to attain. It was hard to convince her husband that she would be fine and nothing bad would happen to her and their baby.

Zhang Jiren sighed and his eyes caught the black dress on the left side of the room. It was the same winning dress that he bought for her. The dress was enclosed in a huge glass case that protected it from dust and dirt, keeping its pristine condition as it was first seen by the public.

Zhang Jiren initially thought that she would be upset with him spending a hundred million dollars to buy her dress but she only smiled and hugged him affectionately after the auction. He knew how important this dress was for her and he couldn't bear to see her crestfallen face as she was almost in tears, knowing that she was about to lose the dress at the auction.

Now, it only reminded her of happy memories she had with Tang Beixuan and it was proof of Zhang Jiren's love for her. How could Li Meili hate him when he only showed to what extent he was willing to do for her sake?

"Meili, don't be mad." Zhang Jiren took a seat at the edge of her desk and held her hand. "I'm just worried about you. Don't you know how worried I am when you give birth to Leyan? It almost drove me insane, knowing I could do nothing to ease your pain. So how could you ask me to put you in that same situation again?"

If his sister and Feng Tianyi weren't there to accompany him, Zhang Jiren had no idea what he would do back then.

"Ha! Don't bother me anymore if you don't want it. Don't come after me nor dare to touch me if you don't let me have another baby." Li Meili pulled her hand away from his grasp and decided to resume her work.

What was the point of keeping him home if she couldn't get what she wanted? He was totally a hopeless case!
