Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Lan Yunchen took out his phone and glanced at it. He saw a photo, then a message, and then a notification of an incoming payment.

The amount is still the same, 100 million. This money is easy to earn. You don't have to put in any effort. You can just lie in bed, take a nap, and wake up to find yourself with an income.

The key point is that the person in question doesn't even need to be present.

In the photo, the woman is sitting in a car, and "he" has been photoshopped into the passenger seat. There is a bouquet of bright red roses next to her. The woman is wearing a fitted dark green dress, her dyed curly hair is casually draped over her shoulders, she is wearing purple sunglasses, and she is wearing a watch with a brown strap on her right wrist.

The man sitting in the passenger seat looked like he was being kept by this woman.

After carefully examining the photo, Lan Yunchen smiled meaningfully and replied: Received.

Yan Na's goal was simply for him to receive the message and the payment; that would be considered settling the accounts, and nothing else mattered.

He then did not reply to Lan Yunchen.

Actually, Lan Yunchen returned from his business trip in the morning, but 30 minutes earlier than Lan Yunxi. Shen Muyun went to look at cheongsams today. The shop she liked had recently designed several beautiful cheongsam styles, and Shen Muyun, who loves cheongsams, naturally wouldn't miss it.

Several months later.

In November, Tang Junyao's belly grew as big as an inflated balloon, and she began to have difficulty walking.

Perhaps it was because the Ji family provided too much nutrition, but the baby in her belly was always a week ahead of schedule. Su Xue always told her to control her food intake, otherwise she might have to have a cesarean section, and a natural birth would be very difficult.

Given that she had a natural birth with her first child, she naturally hoped that her second child would also be a natural birth. Her delivery of Xiaoyouzi went smoothly, and she was able to get out of bed and walk right after this natural birth, without any problems.

Some women cannot urinate after giving birth. Doctors require them to urinate and pass gas before they can eat. If they still cannot urinate, a catheter will be inserted.

Emerging from the HR department with a leave application form in her hand, Tang Junyao pushed open Su Xue's office door. "Aren't you leaving get off work yet? I've taken maternity leave. How long are you planning to stay?"

After saying that, Tang Junyao waved the leave application form in her hand.

Su Xue glanced at her best friend's huge belly and said, "If you don't take leave soon, your husband Ji will probably be able to move into the hospital to work, coming in several times a day."

Actually, Tang Junyao's reason for taking leave wasn't entirely due to physical exhaustion; Ji Hancheng was also a factor. Recently, her belly had been getting bigger, and she couldn't sleep well at night. Her chest was feeling very painful from the pressure, and her legs and feet were swollen.

This made the man even more anxious. He had to come to the hospital three times a day, and he could only go to work with peace of mind after seeing that she was alright. Just like Su Xue said, if things continued like this, Ji Hancheng would have no reason to do anything.

After much deliberation, I decided to take maternity leave early. Otherwise, not only would the Ji family worry, but my aunt and uncle would call me several times a day, and even Xixi would send me several messages a day asking how I was doing and if I was feeling unwell.

Everyone was on edge, fearing something might happen to her. She felt this deep love, and to avoid making everyone anxious, she decided to take leave and stay home so that everyone could rest assured. "I can't let two families worry about me because of one person. Grandpa's blood pressure has been unstable lately, so I'd better stay home and let him live a long life."

Su Xue tidied the table, smiling happily. She was happy for her best friend, that so many people were worried about Yao Yao. "Alright, from now on I'll be the one to struggle. It's a good thing Guo Guo isn't pregnant, otherwise I'd be bored to death. If you give birth early, I'll help you deliver the baby."

"Then I'll thank Dr. Su in advance. Let's go home now."

As they reached the door, Tang Junyao reminded the bolder Su Xue again, "Xiao Xue, if you're feeling unwell, please ask for leave too."

"Okay, I'm an OB-GYN, what are you worried about? Just call me in advance if you have any symptoms."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

As they were talking, Ji Hancheng had already walked to her side and carefully supported her. "Have you taken the leave?"

"Yes, I've taken maternity leave early. Mr. Ji, can you go back to work with peace of mind now?"

In the car.

Ji Hancheng helped Tang Junyao fasten her seatbelt and started the car. "I'll stay home with you this month. Let Dad and Xu Mingkai handle the company matters."

Tang Junyao was surprised that even though she had already taken leave, Ji Hancheng was still worried. "Honey, we need to discuss something."

The word "husband" made his heart tremble. He also knew that his Yao Yao must have something to arrange. Tang Junyao would call him "husband" whenever she needed to talk about serious matters, or she would call him that when she was deliberately trying to provoke him.

This time it's definitely the former.

Sure enough, the next second his Yao Yao began to make careful arrangements and soothe his nervous emotions. "I've already finished my maternity leave. Starting tomorrow, I'll be living at the Ji residence. My mother, grandfather, and Aunt Ji will be there to watch over me. Aunt Ji's eyes are practically glued to me. What kind of problem do you think I could have? If you don't go to work tomorrow, I wasn't nervous at first, but you've made me nervous instead."

"How about this? You go to work as usual starting tomorrow, and after get off work, you come home, have dinner, and then go for a walk with me. You can go on strike one week before my due date, okay?"

His wife had made such a clear arrangement, how could he possibly refuse? "I'll listen to you. If you feel unwell at home, just let me know in advance."

"We moved to the hospital a week early for the final week."

He was still worried. Recently, there had been a lot of news about premature births. Since Yao Yao was a twin, he had to be even more careful. He absolutely couldn't let anything go wrong. Obviously, the hospital was the safest place.

"Okay, then those in front will listen to me, and those in the back will listen to you."

Ji Hancheng: "Okay, Mrs. Ji. I'm glad you're safe and sound."

Tang Junyao suddenly remembered that she should tell her aunt and uncle that she had taken maternity leave. "I'll send my aunt a message to tell her that I've taken maternity leave in advance, so that they won't worry about me."

"No rush, I'll call my aunt when I get home, you don't need to send a message."

To reassure the Lan family, Ji Hancheng would report Yao Yao's health status to them every few days. Shen Muyun and Lan Chumu were mainly worried that Yao Yao was too sensible and wouldn't tell the truth, so they called their son-in-law, Ji Hancheng.

Over time, Ji Hancheng took over the reporting duties, while Tang Junyao honorably stepped down from the reporting position.

night.

After taking a shower, Tang Junyao sat on the bed reading parenting books. She was on maternity leave for several months, so she didn't need to watch any gory autopsy videos for now.

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I'll take good care of you. I'll let you know when you give birth, okay."

Tang Junyao didn't know what her aunt Shen Muyun had said, but she saw that Ji Hancheng was sincerely agreeing and making promises.

I guess it was my aunt giving me some instructions.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Hancheng took off his watch. "I'm going to take a shower, then I'll massage your legs. Your feet are much more swollen than yesterday."

Tang Junyao closed the book, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Alright, go ahead, Mr. Ji."

A short while later, Ji Hancheng returned. He didn't go to bed immediately, but instead went to the drawer to get the device for monitoring the fetal heartbeat.

This project is something Ji Hancheng does every day; he won't go to sleep until it's finished. Sometimes, even when Tang Junyao is already asleep, he will secretly and carefully monitor her, and only when the test results show no problems will he feel at ease enough to sleep.

If the test shows even a slight deviation from the passing grade, he will wait an hour and test again. If it is still incorrect, he will have Tang Junyao go to the hospital.

I was very careful and nervous.

Given this situation and this tense state, if Tang Junyao doesn't ask for leave soon, she believes Ji Hancheng will go insane in the near future.

Tang Junyao lay motionless on the bed, barely daring to breathe, her hands folded over her chest. Dr. Ji was intently examining her with the equipment.

A few minutes later, Ji Hancheng put away the device and returned it to the drawer. He then sat on the bed again. "Would you like to sit or lie down? I'll give you a massage."

"I'll sit down; I want to read for a while longer."

"You don't have to watch it, I've already watched it all. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."

Tang Junyao: "..............." Ready to be a super dad?

Actually, there's no need for that. Does she only care about giving birth?

She's not a chick that only lays eggs; she still needs to breastfeed.

He took the book from Tang Junyao's hand and forced her to rest. His eyes were firm and uncompromising. "Close your eyes, I'll give you a massage."

"Okay." She slowly closed her eyes, enjoying the massage from her man. It felt so good. The swelling in her legs was gradually relieved by his gentle kneading, and she slowly drifted off to sleep because of the comfort.

Ji Hancheng did not stop massaging Tang Junyao just because she fell asleep. He continued for another hour, then placed a pillow under Tang Junyao's feet to prevent her feet from swelling even more the next day.

After finishing a series of tasks, I finally lifted the covers, lay down, and turned off the gentle bedside lamp.

Ji Hancheng continued to go to work every day as usual, while Tang Junyao stayed at home. In order not to make the man feel nervous, she didn't even step out of the Ji residence.

"Mommy, it's beautiful." At this moment, Xiaoyouzi was holding a custom-made Transformer, Optimus Prime, which was a birthday gift that Ji Hancheng gave him on August 20th.

Xiaoyouzi's real birthday is August 28th, but Lan Yunchen and Lan Chumu made it up as September 20th.

Yuan Shu brought out a fruit, saying, "Be careful of Mommy's tummy, don't bring your toys near it. Come on, let's eat fruit."

As she spoke, she took Xiaoyouzi's hand and walked towards the sofa. Tang Junyao, with her hands supporting her waist on both sides, also walked towards the sofa. Yuan Shu settled her grandson and turned around to help Tang Junyao, saying, "Tell me if you're not feeling well."

Yuan Shu helped her to the sofa by supporting her arm. Tang Junyao smiled and said, "It's nothing, my foot is just a little swollen, but otherwise I'm fine."

Ji Hancheng massaged her last night, and she's feeling a bit better today. Yesterday, the swelling was probably worse because she sat for too long at work, but it's much better today.

Grandpa Ji came down the stairs with a kind smile on his face. "Girl, what do you want to eat for lunch? Grandpa will have Aunt Ji go and buy it."

Tang Junyao turned her head, supporting her lower back with one hand because her back was a little sore. "Grandpa, I'm fine with anything. Your great-granddaughter isn't picky about food."

"You little rascal, you always pick things I like to hear. I like great-grandchildren too, and I'm even happier with great-granddaughters, hahaha." The old man made no attempt to hide his fondness for them.

"Great-Grandpa." Little Yuzu had been treasuring the toy in her hand for several months, and now she was showing it off to the old man again.

Grandpa Ji glanced at the toy in his hand and nodded to indicate that he had seen it. "Yes, great-grandfather saw it. It's very nice. Our Lele baby is the best."

Then he said to Tang Junyao, "Girl, it's a good thing you didn't agree to have a birthday party. Children should have their own sense of ritual. Look how much Lele likes these toys. From now on, we won't have those fancy parties. We'll just do whatever makes the child happy."
