“What is there to be restrictive about? It’s thanks to all of you that we’ve managed to solve this. It would have been wonderful to have them here for dinner together. After all, we’re not old fuddy-duddies who stop young people from having fun,” said Old Lady Yan.

“Well, don’t need to worry about them. They’ve probably disappeared into the wild for fun,” Wen Ren laughed. Even Chai Yu, who was usually in charge of his personal safety, did not follow as he was dragged off by Hao Donghuai.

“No problem. Come on in,” Old Lady Yan beckoned them in.

At this moment, Old Lady Nan from next door came home after doing her groceries at the supermarket with their housekeeper. The supermarket nearby was only a 20-minute walk and Old Lady Nan would sometimes shop there by herself. As there were normally not many things to buy, she would walk there and use it as a form of exercise.

It was rare for Old Lady Nan to come see Old Lady Yan rather than avoid her. Therefore, it was strange as she headed directly toward Old Lady Yan as she grabbed her with a look of worry. “What happened? I heard that there was some trouble in your family. I heard that Lu Zhenghang did something shameless to your family.”

The Nan family was involved in the media industry and always received news before anybody else. Even if the Yan family managed to suppress the news, it still spread everywhere thanks to Lu Zhenghang’s shenanigans.

Old Lady Nan knew how bad this would affect them. She might not be able to help much, but at least she could do her best in whatever way possible. “We can’t really help much with this, but there is still power in the media. This just depends on how we follow through with the story. If you need our help twisting the headlines, feel free to let us know. The Nan family is still a pretty respectable and is a well-trusted name.”

Old Lady Yan was touched. She was usually such a show-off in front of Old Lady Nan and was well-aware that Old Lady Nan usually did not want to meet her. Yet, her old friend was still here to support her when it really counted.

She patted the back of Old Lady Nan’s hands. “Don’t you worry. We’ve more or less got the matter under control. Look over there, that’s the Wen family. They’ve investigated Lu Zhenting and his son thoroughly and spilled all their secrets. The Wen family even identified the person they bribed in the DNA lab to forge a fake report. Zhiqing also overheard and recorded the conversation between Lu Zhenghang and Jiang Changdai so we have enough evidence in our hands such that the Lu family won’t be able to deny a thing. Don’t worry, we’ll let you know if we need help. After all, Jingheng had even given Beicheng a lot of help in the past, didn’t he?”

Old Lady Nan’s expression relaxed. “It’s good that you’ve got it settled. I’ll take my leave then.”

Old Lady Yan grabbed Old Lady Nan’s arms and smiled while she said, “Wait a minute. I have to tell you that we’ve got three happy occasions today. We’ve settled the matter with the Lu family, my granddaughter is awake and much wiser now, and there’s one more bit of happy news. Can you guess what it is?”

Old Lady Nan, “...”

Old Lady Nan’s expression remained stone cold. She did not want to guess at all.

Was there a need to guess anything? It would definitely have something to do with her unborn great-grandchild.

A leopard would never change its spots!

“Lin Chu took the time to find out the gender of the baby while we were at the hospital today. It’s a boy! I really wanted it to be a girl. After all, just look at our family, besides Zhiqing it’s all men. There’s a huge imbalance here between the genders” Old Lady Yan sighed and said in an annoying manner.

Old Lady Nan smirked, “Hoho!”

“Sigh, we have guests today, so I won’t hold you up much longer. Tomorrow. I’ll have a good, long chat with you tomorrow,” Old Lady Yan said.

“I won’t be home tomorrow,” Old Lady Nan said stiffly.

“Is that so? That’s a wonderful coincidence as I will be meeting Old Han tomorrow for a chat. I guess I’ll see you the day after! We’ll agree to meet then!” Old Lady Yan did not even give Old Lady Nan the chance to give an excuse. After saying this, she quickly waved her hand and left.

Old Lady Yan trotted back home quickly.

Old Lady Nan, “...”

Old Lady Nan was planning to discuss going house hunting with her husband soon!

Wen Xu continued maintaining his emotionless demeanor in the house, causing a chill to run down Yan Ningbai’s spine. He and Chu Xi hugged each other for some warmth.

Yan Ningbai finally puffed up his chest and got the courage to ask, “Well... How do you usually have fun?”

Wen Xu replied seriously, “Martial arts training and jogging.”

Yan Ningbai blinked. “Is your Kung Fu awesome? Is it just like how its shown on television?”

Wen Xu gave it a thought and replied, “The television shows exaggerates it a little, but with my current capabilities, I can probably fight off three to four adults who do not know any Kung Fu. I am on par with the district’s martial arts champion in the adult category.”

His master had informed him to wait until he was older before trying to fight the national champion. He would need another three to four years as he would otherwise lose out in terms of age and height.

Wen Ming, who was sitting at the side, clapped his hands at this. “Big Brother ith the beth!”

Yan Ningbai gulped and said, “Then... Then you should know my big nephew... is Yan Beicheng. He’s good friends with your dad, right?”

Wen Xu hesitated. He felt Yan Ningbai had asked this question with bad intentions, but nevertheless, he nodded.

Yan Ningbai’s chest puffed out even more and his lips curved upward. “You see, my big nephew and your dad are of the same generation, which is actually one generation after me. That places you... That places you and my unborn grandnephew at the same level. You should call me Granduncle!”

Wen Xu, “...”

Wen Ming was biting into the jelly that Yan Ningbai had given him. When he heard Yan Ningbai’s words, he smiled naively, “Gwamuncle!”

“...” Wen Xu glared at him. How could his little brother betray him so quickly?!

“Good boy! You’re such a good boy!” Yan Ningbai patted Wen Ming on the head happily.

Wen Ming was overjoyed at this. When he saw Chu Xi burying its head into Yan Ningbai’s arms, he crawled over and imitated the dog by burying his round head into Yan Ningbai’s arms too.

Wen Xu could no longer take his little brother’s stupidity. He reached out to scoop Wen Ming away while thinking to himself about lucky it was that Wen Ming was not as fat as Yan Ningbai. Otherwise, he would not be able to lift Wen Ming at all.

Wen Xu secretly decided to watch Wen Ming’s diet. He was not about to allow Wen Ming to become fat.

Yan Ningbai puffed out his chest, which also caused his big belly to become more prominent, “Wen Xu, my grandnephew, come to B City for school! If your granduncle gets bullied, you can... You can show your filial piety and protect him!”

Wen Xu, “...”

Did he acknowledge that this guy was his granduncle?!

Yan Huaian found a caregiver really soon. Not long after the two elders brought Yan Zhiqing home, the caregiver reported for work.

This was why Yan Zhiqing had gotten ready so quickly and was now being wheeled out by the caregiver in her wheelchair.

After Yan Zhiqing greeted the guests, she went past Yan Ningbai and the others. Yan Ningbai felt that he had the responsibility of caring for his big niece, so he said in an old person’s tone, “Big niece, come and play with us!”

Yan Zhiqing’s lips twitched. She rolled her eyes arrogantly and replied, “I’m an adult. How can I play with children?”

Yan Zhiqing specifically emphasized the word ‘children’. The look in her eyes said, ‘You may be my uncle in terms of our generations, but you are still a child. Your age is still a single-digit!’

Wen Ming had crawled over toward Yan Zhiqing quietly while holding many sapphire blue pencils in his hand. This was little Wen Ming’s favorite color.

He loved grabbing shiny objects, with his favorite being sapphires. As a result, many of Wen Ren and Fang Boran’s sapphire buttons had been snatched away by Wen Ming.

He was holding onto his pencil and drawing something on the cast over Yan Zhiqing’s right leg. It was hard to tell what it was as it just looked like random doodles. If you were to act serious with such a young child, you must be prepared for the consequences.

By the time Yan Zhiqing realized what was happening, her cast had already been covered with many crooked blue lines. Some were straight while others were wavy, much like abstract art.

Yan Zhiqing, “...”

How was she going to leave her house with her cast looking like this?

Wen Ming looked up with his little face as he gave a silly smile, waiting to be praised.

Yan Zhiqing could not come up with any words as her lips twitched. Her right hand started digging around in her pockets before she took out a packet of sweets, pretending to be nonchalant as she said, “You can have this.”

Yan Ningbai happily took it while Yan Zhiqing snorted haughtily. “I hate children!”

The caregiver pushed her away soon after this.

Old Lady Yan had always been good at making friends. She quickly warmed up to Wen Ren and his wife after the meal together.

She said to Fang Jiaran despondently, “When will the two of you have a daughter?”

Wen Ren felt that he had finally found someone who understood him. It took only a while for him to reveal his true self in front of the two elders as he started to converse with them with one leg crossed over the other in a casual manner. “Only you understand my dilemma. I would really love a daughter but Jiaran doesn’t want to have another baby. She said two children is just nice and that if she has another son, she will be forced to give birth a fourth time. I really want a daughter. Once my sons are all grown up, it’ll be hard to dote on them as though they are still children! My oldest is always putting up an expressionless front and he will one day need to take over the Lanshan Institution. He can’t behave like my youngest and who is always so sweet and silly. Meanwhile, my youngest is always having fun on his own and doesn’t know how to dote on others. A daughter would make all the difference as she would surely know how to both dote and be doted on.”

“Exactly! Just look at my granddaughter. She may act childish but she’s still able to chase away our loneliness at crucial moments. Now that she is living with us, we won’t be so lonely anymore, which is fantastic,” Old Lady Yan smiled. Her dream of having a great-granddaughter may have been temporarily dashed, but at least she still had a granddaughter.

Wen Ren let out a small laugh. He knew Yan Zhiqing’s situation very well but did not say anything about it. If he had a daughter, she would definitely not be as silly as Yan Zhiqing.

“Dear, listen up! You’ll lose out if you don’t heed the advice of your elders. We should get to work on having a daughter! Daughters are blankets of comfort who are considerate and loving. A son will belong to our daughter-in-law in the future, and he’ll be quick to forsake his parents. I’m a good example of this. All I know is how to love and dote on you. I don’t even have time for my dad.”

Fang Jiaran, “...”

Would a normal person put themselves down in this way just because he wants a daughter?

Wen Ren and his family hung out at the old mansion until past 9 pm. Not long after, they became worried about disturbing the two elders and Yan Zhiqing’s rest, so they decided to leave.

Yan Zhiqing’s back was still hurting, and she was feeling very uncomfortable after sitting up for such a long time.

Meanwhile, Little Wen Ming was also tired out. He was already snoring away on Yan Ningbai’s little bed, leaving Yan Ningbai and Wen Xu to stare at each other in silence.

Yan Ningbai had always thought of himself as someone who could warm up a crowd. However, he had met his match today with Wen Xu as there was nothing he could do to get Wen Xu to play with him.

Wen Ren went to pick little Wen Ming up, causing Wen Ming to wake up the moment Wen Ren touched him. There was a bewildered look on his face as he laid in Wen Ren’s arms, as if he did not remember where he was.

Wen Ming sobered up while Wen Ren and Fang Jiaran said their goodbyes to the two elders, Yan Beicheng and everyone else. Then, he suddenly remembered the new friend he had made and waved goodbye to Yan Ningbai.

Yan Ningbai gave Wen Ming a packet of pudding. “Come look for granduncle to play next time!”

“Okay!” Wen Ming answered clearly. Wen Ren’s face darkened when he heard the exchange.

When did this happen?!

This little brat took advantage of his son when he was not paying attention!

Wen Ren suddenly realized that his silly son might be his downfall.

Wen Ren glared at Yan Ningbai with a fierce look in his eyes. In all his life, no one had dared take advantage of him. This little brat was really something!

Yu Zi was aware of Wen Ren’s reputation as she berated Yan Ningbai in her heart before quickly pulling the unknowing Yan Ningbai behind her.

Little Wen Ming’s hands were still holding onto the blue color pencil as he pointed it toward Yan Zhiqing. “Draw! Draw! Hand! Hand... Come over!”

He looked like he was not prepared to go home unless Yan Zhiqing went over.

Yan Zhiqing lowered her head and saw that the cast on her leg had been fully covered in doodles. No wonder Wen Ming was targeting her hand.

With that, Yan Zhiqing extended her hand to him whilst looking annoyed.

Little Wen Ming drew a crooked looking watch on it and then added a big star to the watch. “Sapphire there. Expensive! Present for you!”

Yan Zhiqing, “...”

Everyone could not help but laugh at this.

Yan Zhiqing’s lips twitched. “Thank you.”

It was not easy, but after this, the little boy was finally willing to leave.

Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng also left at the same as Yan Huaian and his family. They soon went into their respective cars.

Now that she had time to chat privately with Yan Beicheng, Lin Chu suddenly remembered what had transpired at the hospital.

“What was going on with Yan Huaian today while we were in Zhiqing’s ward?” Lin Chu turned on the heater in the car and asked.

“It must be something to do with Yue Jingchen.” Yan Beicheng looked at the car behind them through the rear mirror. It was the car Yan Huaian and his family were in.

“Yue Jingchen? Oh, that doctor. He’s good-looking and mature,” Lin Chu initially blinked in confusion before finally remembering who he was.

Yan Beicheng suddenly glanced at her with his soulful eyes. “Have you got a good impression of him?”

Lin Chu took out a scarf from her handbag to cover her legs. “I only caught a glimpse of him, so what impression could I possibly have? I just felt that he was a little different from the usual doctors we encountered. It was also because... because Yan Huaian was acting so strange that I started to notice him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have paid him any mind.”

Lin Chu saw that Yan Beicheng was still watching her, so Lin Chu moved closer to him and teased. “Come on, I’m saying he’s good-looking because I’m comparing him to other doctors. There’s are limits to that comparison. I can’t very well compare him to you, can I? There’s basically no one that can compare to you; there’s no one that can compete with you. Anyone will lose if compared to you. He’s a pretty ordinary-looking person. He does have the charisma of a gentle, educated man, but there’s all there is to him.”

Yan Beicheng raised an eyebrow and voiced out indignantly, “Didn’t you say you just glanced at him? How can you notice so much detail, such as his normal appearance, and his gentle, educated demeanor? What do you mean that there’s all there is to him? You’ve already seen so much of him. It would be blasphemous if you could tell me any more about him.”

Lin Chu, “...”

Her lips twitched. Pregnant women were not good at holding back their temper, so her hand swiftly reached out to his waist before giving him a good, hard pinch.

“You better stop talking right now! What’s there to be jealous of?! When a doctor gives a report on the patient, who else would I look at? Besides, looking at you every day has set my standards quite high, so who else can I get attracted to? He IS ordinary looking. What’s there for you to be so indignant about?! Isn’t it a little too much for you to get jealous over this sort of thing?! I married you and even have a child with you, yet you still have the gall to act this way?” Lin Chu gave him a ferocious glare.

Rather than repent, Yan Beicheng gave her a big, wide smile. He rubbed his waist where she had pinched him and replied, “I agree. You must have much higher standards after seeing my face for so long. How could you even look twice at all these mortal men? Besides, he really does have an ordinary-looking face.”

“...” Lin Chu could no longer tolerate him as she glared at him and remained silent.

She felt that she had forgotten something while sitting there in silence. Lin Chu thought long and hard before suddenly slapping herself on the forehead. The loud smack shocked Yan Beicheng.

Yan Beicheng quickly grabbed her hand and snapped, “Why are you hitting yourself over nothing? Don’t be so silly.”
