Yan Xin’s mother told him that originally, he should have only been four years younger than his brother. They had planned for a four-year age gap between siblings. However, Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn’t conceive in time.
They had been trying to conceive for an extra two years, and both Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yan Wei had given up hope. But then, unexpectedly, she became pregnant.
Upon discovering that it was going to be a daughter, both Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yan Wei were overjoyed. It’s a common expectation for mothers to wish for a son when they have a daughter and vice versa. Birds of a feather flock together, and opposites attract.
Of course, Yan Wei also wished for a daughter like Zhou Qiaoqiao. Therefore, both husband and wife were filled with anticipation for this child.
The ten months of pregnancy with Yan Xin were more challenging than with Yan Miao. When Zhou Qiaoqiao was pregnant with Yan Miao, her morning sickness wasn’t too noticeable. However, when she was pregnant with Yan Xin, she turned pale from excessive vomiting.
Yan Wei felt heartbroken seeing her like this, so he delegated more of his work responsibilities to Zhen Guoan.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiaoqiao’s morning sickness only lasted for four months during her pregnancy with Yan Xin. By the time she reached the fifth month, it had disappeared.
Throughout the pregnancy, she had also lost about 5 to 6 pounds. Her baby bump became more pronounced in the later stages, noticeably larger than when she was carrying Yan Miao.

The doctor replied exasperatedly, “We can’t save the baby anymore; it’s already been born. Right now, we need to save the mother. Please sign quickly!”
Tears welled up in Yan Wei’s eyes, despite being a towering 6’3″ man. He said, “I’ll sign, but you must, absolutely must save her, no matter the cost, no matter what medicine it takes.”
The nurse recognized this man wasn’t an ordinary individual, Dr. Zhao had been very polite when she brought his wife into the delivery room. However, given the urgency of the situation, she couldn’t afford to be polite anymore.
Now, seeing him, a big man, cry, the nurse couldn’t help feeling emotional and said, “You can rest assured; we will do our best.”
Yan Wei, waiting outside the operating room, felt like time was dragging on. He kept getting up and sitting down repeatedly, watching the operating room lights turn on. His heart was in pain, one cut at a time.
How was she doing? She was so afraid of pain.
Yan Wei regretted it deeply. They shouldn’t have had a child.
The surgery took three hours, and the light above the operating room door went out.
Yan Wei’s head, which had been hanging down, suddenly lifted, and he hurried to the door. Dr. Zhao was still in green surgical attire. Yan Wei approached him, and Dr. Zhao respectfully said, “Mr. Yan, don’t worry, your wife is fine. She just needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a couple of days.”
Yan Wei let out a sigh of relief as if he had come back to life. He looked at Dr. Zhao and said sincerely, “Thank you, really, thank you.”
When Zhou Qiao Qiao was pushed out, she looked severely dehydrated. Yan Wei was so worried that he almost pounced on her and cried.
But Zhou Qiao Qiao was the type of person who easily forgot punishment. When Yan Xin was three years old, she happily asked Yan Wei, “Since we have no financial pressure raising our child, why don’t we have another one?”
Yan Wei, looking at Zhou Qiao Qiao with a certain expression, even startled her. She asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Yan Wei took a deep breath and said, “Don’t force me to donate all our money.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao: “…”
Speaking of Yan Xin, as a chubby little girl, her birth almost cost her mother’s life.
But she was warmly welcomed by the Yan family despite the difficult birth. When she was just born, Yan Xin liked to look around, even though she couldn’t really see anything. However, she still knew that there was a chubby fat man talking next to her crib.
When Yan Xin turned one month old, she was a chubby little girl. Zhou Qiao Qiao was praised by many, saying, “Mrs. Yan from the Yan family is really good at taking care of her child. Look at how chubby she is.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao was mentally exhausted, as she wasn’t the one taking care of the child.
That didn’t matter, but why was her child so chubby? Who did she take after?
When Yan Xin was three years old, Yan Wei hired a martial arts teacher for her. Zhou Qiao Qiao had become immune to Yan Wei’s determination to hire martial arts teachers for their child. She now also hoped that their child could learn some martial arts to become more agile and robust.
Fortunately, Yan Xin genuinely loved practicing martial arts, devoting her whole heart to it.
Yan Xin had far more talent for martial arts than Yan Miao, and her teacher valued her greatly, dedicating themselves to her training. As she progressed in her martial arts, Yan Xin graduated from kindergarten but couldn’t learn addition and subtraction above 7.
Of course, Yan Xin had slimmed down a bit but was still a little chubby.
When Yan Xin entered the third year of elementary school, Yan Miao fell in love, transforming from a struggling student into an academic achiever.
Zhou Qiao Qiao felt relieved, realizing that with Yan Wei by her side, their child’s intelligence would always be above average.
After Yan Xin turned three, her martial arts skills underwent a qualitative change.
Then, Zhou Qiao Qiao began receiving complaints from her teacher.
“What did you say? Xin Xin beat up the boys in her class? Did the boys bully her? What? Is that what happened? I’m sorry, I apologize to their parents. I’ll make sure to educate Yan Xin properly.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiao Qiao grabbed her clothes rack and rushed to find Yan Xin.
“You little rascal! You don’t do your own homework and let others do it for you? And when they refuse, you dare to hit them?” Zhou Qiao Qiao burst into Yan Xin’s room, brandishing her clothes rack like a martial arts staff.
As Yan Xin ran and dodged, she retorted, “Are you going to hit me? I’ll tell my dad. You dare hit me? You just wait; I’ll make sure my dad doesn’t give you any dinner tonight. Hmph! Hmph!”
“All right!” Zhou Qiao Qiao rolled up her sleeves and charged forward. “You still dare to talk back? Watch if I dare to hit you!!!”
In the evening, when Yan Miao returned from school, she saw Yan Xin standing at the door, balancing a flowerpot on her head and holding it with both hands.
Yan Miao: “Uh, what are you doing?”
Tears and snot streaming down her face, Yan Xin looked at her older brother, whom she loved dearly, and said, “Dad won’t let me eat, so he made me stand at the door.”
Yan Miao somehow found this scene quite familiar and thought carefully. Oh! Isn’t this exactly what he used to do when she was a child?
Yan Miao silently nodded and walked into the house. Yan Xin, feeling ignored even by her doting older brother, tried to cry loudly, but with the flowerpot on her head, she couldn’t move and felt even more wronged.
Inside the room, Zhou Qiao Qiao was standing in front of the sofa, pointing at Yan Wei and complaining, “Look at her, learning martial arts, learning martial arts, and learning martial arts. I chased after her for half an hour and couldn’t land a single hit. Instead, I exhausted myself.”
Yan Wei nodded and admitted his mistake, saying, “I know. I’ve already made her stand at the door for self-reflection. In the future, if you want to discipline her, and she tries to run away, I’ll come back and help you deal with it, twice as hard.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao hesitated, saying, “Well, we don’t need that either! She’s learning to fight every day. What do you think…”
Before Zhou Qiao Qiao could finish, Yan Wei took out his phone and showed her, saying, “Look, there’s a girl on Weibo today who got beaten up on the street.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao leaned over to look and then frowned, “Ah! That must be so painful. What could be the reason for this? This is just too much, really unforgivable.”
Yan Wei looked at her cute expression as she peered at the video, and his gaze softened. He casually replied, “Yes! It’s totally unforgivable. This society is very dangerous, so it’s better to learn some self-defense.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao fell silent as she watched the video. Yan Wei’s words seemed to make sense. However, there weren’t many people who actually learned martial arts!
But having some self-defense skills couldn’t hurt either.
As Yan Miao entered the room, he saw his father infatuatedly looking at his mother. He couldn’t help but wonder if his father remembered that they had a little sister at the door.
Yan Wei always followed through with what he said. Even though Zhou Qiao Qiao later wanted to let Yan Xin eat, Yan Wei didn’t allow it. Of course, not allowing and actually being adopted were two different things.
Yan Xin, still standing at the door with the flowerpot on her head, was called into the kitchen. She watched them eat her favorite roasted chicken and sweet and sour spare ribs.
Zhou Qiao Qiao took a bite of her meal, then looked at her daughter enduring this humiliation and said with a sigh, “Or, let her eat.”
Yan Wei coldly picked up a piece of roasted chicken and put it on Zhou Qiao Qiao’s plate. Without even looking at Yan Xin, he said, “When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Going hungry for a meal is a punishment. And punishment… should be accepted. Bullying classmates with force is wrong, and disrespecting your mother at home is unfilial. She should learn from it.”
Yan Xin felt even more wronged, her large teardrops falling one by one, looking extremely pitiful.
When Yan Wei went upstairs, Zhou Qiao Qiao sighed and asked Yan Xin to come over for dinner.
Yan Xin cried while eating, her chubby face full of grievances. She said, “Wuu~ Daddy is so mean. I’m just a kid.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao patted her head and said, “But you’re really good at fighting now. Xin Xin, you have to remember that you’re stronger than others, and you’ll have to bear more responsibilities.”
Yan Xin didn’t quite understand and only said, “Now I know Mommy loves me more than Daddy.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao remained silent.
Yan Wei decided that Yan Xin needed to experience a lesson she couldn’t understand. Her talent for fighting was high, and it was especially important to guide her onto the right path.
Can wealthy people do whatever they want? Of course not, but Yan Wei could do most of the things that only wealthy people could.
When Yan Xin was in the fifth grade, she began following her father to the company. Her petite figure trailed behind Yan Wei, and for every step he took, Yan Xin had to take two small steps.
She looked around curiously and was brought to his office by her father.
She pulled a chair and sat next to Yan Wei, swinging her little legs, watching Yan Wei work with curiosity.
Observing her father working tirelessly from morning till night, Yan Xin thought, “Daddy isn’t that idle after all!”

Please support my new novel, coming soon. It will replace Married to the Male Lead’s Hidden Rich Brother, this novel, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It’s an ancient era genre called “Casting Nets to Catch a Husband.” It was about a beautiful girl who was sold by her family and became a prostitute.(More like a geisha because she just performs dances and sings for the men.) She died before they can sell her body to the highest bidder and woke up (rebirth) to the time before her family sold her. Here you go…
Casting Nets to Catch a Husband
Liu Yu, with her exquisite beauty, was sold into a brothel by her heartless parents in her previous life and died on the night she left the pavilion in the most luxurious brothel in Yangzhou City.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was fifteen, just one month before being sold to the matchmaker by her parents.
With her rebirth, there was one urgent matter at hand.
Within a month, she had to find a good husband for herself, escape from the Liu family, and avoid the fate of being sold in her previous life.
She took all the money she could spare, knocked on the door of the matchmaker’s house in Changfeng Town. And as soon as she left the matchmaker’s house, she met a young man. The matchmaker whispered to her, “Lu Chengxiao, the third son of the Lu family, the owner of the Lu Feng Cloth Shop.”
Liu Yu understood; he was her third target.
Recently, Lu Chengxiao had encountered a beautiful woman several times and admired her. He was thinking it was a match destined for marriage.
It wasn’t until one day when they met in the mountains, the beautiful woman twisted her foot and couldn’t move so he carried her all the way.
When he returned to deliver the medicine, he saw the beautiful woman walking lightly, with no sign of a twisted foot. The heat behind his ears receded, and his eyes grew colder. He turned and went back to Changfeng Town.
Several days later, the beautiful woman shyly handed him a purse, thanking him for his help.
Lu Chengxiao sneered, “Thanking me for helping? That day, I turned back and saw the lady walking normally. Why would I need to help?”
“I can’t accept this purse. If we privately exchange gifts, it might be hard to explain later. It’s better for the lady to keep her dignity.”
Alright, this one couldn’t work. Liu Yu took back the purse, curtsied, and walked away…
Lu Chengxiao thought it was a decisive rejection, until several days later, he saw Liu Yu drop an embroidered handkerchief in front of the bookshop where the young man, Chen Sheng, worked. The gentleman picked up the scented handkerchief, and the beautiful woman blushed and thanked him. What a beautiful encounter.
Lu Chengxiao: “…”
A wave of frustration welled up in his chest, and he clenched his teeth as he tossed and turned in his dreams.
Until later, when he saw Liu Yu about to stage a falling-into-the-water scene, Lu Chengxiao panicked. He jumped into the river before Chen Sheng, pulled her ashore, held her slender waist, and couldn’t help but feel both angry and pained. He didn’t even want to ask more questions. He just held her in his arms and almost begged, “Don’t you want a good marriage? I’ll marry you!”
【This is a story that begins with scheming, falls into love, with a heart full of sincerity, and ends up in a marriage. It is also a story of two major businesses rising, with elements of urban and farming life.]
