Married at First Sight Chapter 4490

Zachary said jealously, “I know you love the kids more than me. But wife, we’re the ones who’ll be together for life. When the kids grow up, they’ll leave us to start their own families.”

“You have to put me first—don’t let the kids outrank me.”

“Zachary, don’t you feel ashamed? They’re your children. Don’t you love them? Every day when you get home from work, the first thing you ask about is Beibei—not me, your wife. I get jealous too.”

“Don’t be so jealous—it’ll rot your teeth and ruin your appetite,” Serenity teased.

Zachary laughed. “I can’t help it. I just get jealous of the kids. It feels like they’re always fighting me for your attention.”

“Every time we try to have a romantic moment, those two little ones pop in and separate us.”

“Even at night, when I want to be close to you, I have to be cautious because of them.”

“We used to be on guard around the baby, but now that she’s grown up, there’s Beibei. She still sleeps with us. When she’s a bit older, we’ll move her into her own room.”

Zachary loves his children deeply, but when he wants to be affectionate with his wife and gets interrupted by the kids, he can’t help feeling frustrated—like he’s raised two little rivals for his wife’s love.

Serenity chuckled again. “I don’t know who it was that used to say Beibei is your precious girl, your whole world. And now here you are, complaining about her.”

“If Beibei hears that Daddy doesn’t want her, she won’t let you hug her for a whole month. You’ll be dying for cuddles.”

Zachary quickly surrendered. “Wife, I’m just venting—I don’t actually dislike Beibei. She’s our only daughter, our little sweetheart.”

“Since we had Beibei, I’ve stopped envying Ye Junbo. Zachary has a daughter now too! The Zhan family isn’t a Buddhist temple anymore, thanks to Beibei.”

“Junyan is already in primary school—so pretty and bright, with excellent grades and a kind heart. Ye Junbo has no reason to envy you.”

Serenity gave birth to Beibei when Junyan and his siblings were one year old. Now Beibei is six, and Junyan and the others are seven and already in primary school. Both children have strong academic performance and have learned a number of special skills, even at just seven years old.
Junyan’s temperament remains calm and composed. Although she’s not the eldest, she carries herself like a big sister among the Jun family’s children. Everyone dotes on her and listens to her.

Mu Qing once confided in Serenity that Junyan is the most likely candidate to take over Fengchen Group in the future.

Mu Qing has only one daughter, and she sincerely hopes Junyan won’t have to take on that responsibility.

Serenity could only offer comfort, saying that Junyan is still young and far from being ready to shoulder such a burden. Boys tend to mature more slowly, and once the Yeyao brothers grow older, they may become more stable and reliable than Junyan.

Naturally, it’s better for boys to take on the heavy responsibilities.

Now that Serenity has a daughter, it’s likely Beibei will remain the only girl in her generation within the Zhan family. If the cousins are ranked, she would be number eight.

All her older male cousins love and spoil her.

If she wanted stars, they wouldn’t just stop at giving her the moon—they’d give her anything she desired.

She’ll have many cousins in the future, and no doubt they’ll all continue to cherish and pamper her.

But Serenity has never considered grooming her daughter as a future heir.

No one in the Zhan family has, either. It’s not because they prefer boys over girls, or because they doubt Beibei’s potential. It’s because they want to spare her the pressure. They simply want Beibei to grow up happy and carefree.

To follow her passions without the weight of family obligations.

The eldest brother is the firstborn grandson, and there are several other male cousins who can shoulder the responsibility of taking over the family business.
