“No need.”
Zhan Yin laughed. “You won’t even give your husband a chance to be considerate.”
Haitong replied, “I’m doing fine. I don’t need you fussing over me. Go out and chat with Grandma.” “Alright.”
After watching her enter the bathroom and close the door, Zhan Yin turned and left.
When the old lady saw him coming out, she was about to speak, but Zhan Yin spoke first: “Grandma, Tongtong says she doesn’t need me to fuss over her.”
The old lady opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
Zhan Yin walked over and sat beside her. He picked up the big goose pillow she was holding and smiled. “Grandma, why are you hugging this thing?”
“There’s no cat to pet, so I’m hugging a goose pillow instead.”
“Grandma, you can stay at my villa. All the pets are there.”
“But Tongtong likes it here. She says this is the first home we lived in after getting married—it feels like home to her.”
So, no pets here.
The old lady said, “I don’t want to live in a villa. There’s no one to talk to there. In this community, I can go downstairs every day, take a walk, and chat with the old ladies. I like listening to gossip.”
Most of the aunties and grandmas downstairs are helping their children raise kids or do housework. When they gather, they talk about everything—gossip is part of the routine.
If anything happens in a household, once one person finds out, it spreads through the whole community in no time.
The old lady loves to listen but never gossips about her own children or grandchildren.
No one can get any gossip about her family from her.
“Tongtong could give birth at any time. Even if I lived with you, I’d still worry.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
