Married at First Sight Chapter 4491

Zachary was silent for a moment before saying, “In a few years, our Beibei will start school and do really well. Everyone in the Zhan family has a high IQ.”

Serenity smiled and replied, “Beibei is just over a year old and still can’t speak clearly. It’s too early to say how he’ll do academically. But to me, good grades aren’t the most important thing—I just hope our child grows up healthy and safe.”

Even if her children turn out to be average in school and don’t inherit their father’s intelligence, Serenity was perfectly fine with that.

How many top students have ended up raising children who struggle academically?

After all, the ancestral grave can’t always be smoking with good fortune.

“Exactly. As long as our child is healthy, safe, and happy, that’s what really matters.”

Zachary reflected on his large family. He had many brothers, and the younger generation already included eight kids. Three cousins were still unmarried, and once they had children, his son’s generation would have over a dozen cousins.

Someone would eventually step up to take on the family responsibilities—it didn’t have to be his own children.

When it came to school, he believed children should learn what they could. And if they couldn’t, then it was enough for them to eat well, sleep soundly, and enjoy life.

The wealth he and his wife had built would be enough to support their children for generations, even if they never worked a day in their lives.

As long as they didn’t make reckless investments and kept a low profile, things would be fine.

The biggest fear among the wealthy is that the next generation will squander everything through careless investments. Most would rather see their children stay idle at home than risk destroying the family fortune.

“Are you busy, honey? I heard you mention a meeting earlier.”

Serenity was eager to check on the kids, so she wanted to wrap up the call.

Zachary began to protest, “Wife, are you already tired of talking to me? We’ve barely said anything.”

“I’m not busy now. I handed the meeting over to Lao Er and Sunan. I’m in my office, and I’ve got plenty of time to chat with you—even for an hour.”
“Wife, I miss you so much. I can’t eat or sleep well without you by my side.”

Serenity laughed. “We’re already an old married couple.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Zachary replied. “Even when our hair turns gray, our love can still feel like the first time.”

He added, “Haven’t you seen my parents, uncles, and aunts? They’re all grandparents now, and their relationships are still strong. That’s what you call an old married couple. We’re not there yet.”

“When autumn comes and the weather cools down, I’ll take a month off to take you on a honeymoon for our eighth anniversary.”

“Just the two of us—no baby this time.”

Serenity was speechless for a moment, but said, “We’ll talk about it in the fall. Who knows if you’ll actually be able to take that much time off? If you can manage ten days or even half a month, that would be great.”

“Don’t put all the work on Lao Er and Su Nan. They’re planning to have a second child.”

Su Nan and Shen Xiaojun hadn’t had a second child yet. They were hesitating, afraid the second one might also be a boy.

Their son is one month older than Zhan Muchen. The boys went to the same kindergarten and now elementary school. Like their parents, they’ve become close friends.

Zhan Muchen is well-behaved when he’s alone—quiet and never causing trouble.

But once Shen Xiaojun’s son comes over, the two boys become a whirlwind of chaos. They’ve even climbed onto the roof and pulled off tiles, causing serious damage.

Shen Xiaojun often complained to Serenity that her son was too mischievous—and sometimes blamed herself, thinking her son had led Zhan Muchen astray.

In short, boys are harder to manage than girls. They’re simply too mischievous.

“Their work and plans for a second child shouldn’t affect anything. Back when we were preparing for a second child, we both kept working too.”
