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

Everyone is busy with their own lives, and in this busyness and fulfillment, they find their own little corner of the world.

that's it.

Tang Junyao went to work at the base. Lan Yunchen dispatched many professionals from Lancheng to assist his sister's work, and carefully reminded Ji Hancheng repeatedly to prepare a chair similar to the one used by the Ji Group.

Su Xue's maternity leave ended, and she started commuting to and from work with Guo Guo. The three of them were no longer together, but it didn't affect their relationship. They even ate lunch together via video call.

They would share on their phones which dishes were delicious and which they wouldn't order again, and they contacted each other even more frequently than before.

In contrast to them, Yan Feifei was suffering terribly. She cried and screamed every day, being pushed forward by Feng Xiaoni. She wanted to retreat, but before she could even complain to her sister, she was criticized. She could only grit her teeth and continue forward.

However, when Yan Feifei returned home, she would vent her dissatisfaction on Yan Zhun, saying that it was all because he neglected the company that she was so miserable.

On this day, the good news that everyone had been waiting for arrived as promised.

Yan Na, who was far away in Blue City, immediately shared her good news in the group chat created by Tang Junyao: Family, I'm pregnant.

The group chat was quiet.

Perhaps everyone is at work and doesn't have much time to look at their phones or slack off, but Yan Feifei, hiding in the toilet, was so excited that her hands trembled and she almost dropped her phone into the toilet bowl. Luckily, she was quick-witted and managed to save it.

After holding the phone steady, Yan Feifei pressed it against her chest and took a deep breath: "Sis, really? Really? Really?"

Yan Na: It's true, I found out this morning. I'm still at the company now, I'll tell you after get off work.

She just wanted to share the good news with her younger sisters, and because she was genuinely happy, her period was late. The thoughtful Lan Yunchen had prepared a pregnancy test at home in advance. When Yan Na went to the toilet in the morning, she casually took a test and found that it was positive.

The Lan family members didn't dare to be careless and immediately had Lan Yunchen take her to the hospital for a blood test. In the end, it was confirmed that she was pregnant. However, Yan Na still insisted on going to work, and Lan Yunchen allowed it, but he would reduce her workload.

Lunch break.

Su Xue and Guo Guo went to the cafeteria for lunch together. They met on the way. Guo Guo had a habit of reporting her get off work arrival and departure times to Su Yu. She had just taken out her phone to text Su Yu when she saw Yan Na's message from that morning. She grabbed Su Xue and said, "Oh my god, my sister-in-law is pregnant! Is Yun Chen a rocket-powered guy?"

"Let me see, is it real? That fast?" Su Xue leaned closer to Guo Guo's phone screen to look. "Tsk tsk, how many yards must it be? Big brother is indeed the big brother."

Guoguo, snapping out of her daze, exclaimed, "Damn, if you think about it that way, my brother isn't the worst off. His long-term relationship with Xixi isn't over yet. By the time our kids are old enough to run errands, my brother's baby will still be sucking on a pacifier."

Su Xue patted her shoulder and advised, "Thinking about Yan Zhun will make you feel much better. There's still someone at the bottom."

"Have you noticed lately that the cafeteria food has gone back to what it used to be? What's going on? The hot pot is all gone. I need to have a good talk with the dean when I run into him."

"You noticed it too? I noticed it too. The food has gone down several degrees. On the other hand, Yao Yao's food is amazing. Let's go there and mooch some food sometime." Han Guoguo thought of going to the base for a free meal.

Meanwhile, at the base...

Tang Junyao had just come out of the operating room with several senior colleagues, listening to them analyze special cases as they walked.

"Yaoyao, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch," a colleague said.

"Okay, I'll go to my office to get my phone first. You guys go ahead."

Tang Junyao returned to the office that Lan Yunchen had prepared for her. It was very cozy and had a lounge, which was a small suite with everything she needed.

She picked up her phone, ready to put it in her pocket, still not in the habit of carrying a bag. Her pocket vibrated; it was a message from Su Xue. After Su Xue finished lunch, she was even more in favor of Guo Guo's suggestion to go to the base for a meal. Firstly, to visit her best friend, and secondly, to relive the pleasant time the three of them ate together.

Su Xue: Yao Yao, do you work on Saturdays?

As Tang Junyao walked, she replied: There are no special patients who need surgery this week, so I might not be coming to the base. What's wrong?

Su Xue: I miss the old cafeteria. I want to come to your place for a free meal.

Tang Junyao had only heard them say that the food in the cafeteria was not good, and she once thought that her taste had become too picky during her maternity leave: Is the food in the cafeteria really that bad?

Su Xue answered with certainty: "Yeah, it doesn't taste like when I'm pregnant at all. It's just like the cooking we complained about years ago. You'll know when you come and try it sometime. I seriously suspect the dean sent the chef home."

Tang Junyao: Put away your wild imagination. We'll see how things go the day after tomorrow.

She exited the chat with Su Xue, but there was still a message in the group chat. She opened it and read it. After reading the message, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. A colleague passing by asked, "Yaoyao, what's making you so happy?"

My sister-in-law is pregnant.

"That's something to be happy about, congratulations!" The colleagues at the base were all very kind; there was no one who was envious or gossiped.

Everyone knew that this base belonged to Tang Junyao, but on her first day at work, she repeatedly emphasized that everyone should not treat her as a boss, but rather as a colleague, which would make her happier.

Tang Junyao's colleagues also like her straightforward personality. They don't shy away from talking to her about anything and sometimes even chat with her.

To be honest, Tang Junyao really liked this kind of work atmosphere; it was very relaxed, and she didn't have to engage in any backstabbing or infighting.

"Thanks."

Yan Family Villa.

At that moment, Yan's mother was happily cleaning the living room. The stairs were so shiny from her swishing that even flies would slip on them. She was humming a little tune, "Good luck, good luck..."

Since Feng Xiaoni arrived, the strict father's workload has been decreasing. He is more capable than his daughter and is particularly hardworking. According to employees, he often works overtime until midnight before going home.

"Have you called our daughter? Stop whining, she's been whining for hours." The strict father, sitting on the sofa, turned to ask his wife, his head buzzing from the whining.

"I called, Yunchen answered, and told me to relax and say the test results were all good. Do you think Nana is having a boy or a girl?"

"How would I know? I can't calculate it. Whether it's a son or a daughter, they're all treasures that fell from Nana's body."

"That's true. You've finally caught up with Lao Han this time. Aren't you happy?"

What does it mean to say that you've gotten ahead of Lao Han? Why does that sound so off?

However, I didn't dwell on that statement much.

The strict mother didn't say anything, and the strict father hadn't noticed the problem yet. He was too busy being happy, and since he rarely had a chance to show off and turn things around, how could he not make a phone call? Without saying a word, he picked up the phone from the coffee table and dialed Mr. Han's number.

It was obvious that Han's father was at the company today and seemed very busy. "Old Yan, what's up? I'm busy."

The strict father didn't care whether he was busy or not, he just kept showing off, "Didn't I just tell you that Nana is pregnant? She just called us, Yunchen told us, and I wanted to share it with you."

How could Han's father not sense the smugness in their voices? The two brothers were always competing like this. "Oh, so you've come to show off to me, are you one or two?"

The strict father said truthfully, "One, tell your Xiaoyue to keep going, otherwise my grandchildren will be running all over the place and you still won't be able to hold them."

Mr. Han remained remarkably calm, signing the document with one hand and holding his phone to his ear with the other. "You wouldn't know this, but our Xiaoyue is planning something. The main thing is that twins aren't so easy to have. Having just one will be faster, right?"

Yan's father didn't expect Han's father to say that. No one can predict the future, especially twins, unless they are biologically related. But Old Han's tone was as if he had a dream, "Hey, let's see if you can hold twins in your arms by then. I'll be waiting."

Mr. Han replied confidently, "Just you wait and see. When it's your turn to give out red envelopes, you'll get double the amount."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Han smiled broadly, while Mr. Yan had lost the upper hand.

Meeting the gaze of Han's mother sitting opposite him, Han's father smiled and explained, "It was just a matter of speaking in the heat of the moment. I couldn't just admit defeat; I had to save face."

Han's mother was too lazy to pay attention to his childishness.

Saturday arrived quickly.

Because Su Xue really missed the base's canteen, Tang Junyao had no choice but to bring Xiaoyouzi to the base to wait for her gluttonous best friend.

Inside the lobby, Xiao Youzi was skillfully operating a new toy his father had given him—a small airplane—and was praised by his colleagues for his adept handling.

Soon after, Su Xue and Han Guoguo appeared, carrying Little Strawberry.

Upon seeing Little Strawberry appear, Little Grapefruit slowly descended the plane. When Little Strawberry walked up to Little Grapefruit, he pursed his lips and generously handed her the remote control. Little Strawberry then called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother."

Little Yuzu simply replied, "Mm."

Then he added, "Want to play?"

Little Strawberry nodded, but she didn't know how to play. Little Grapefruit then took the initiative to pick up the remote control and showed her how to slow down the speed, which counted as teaching her.

Su Xue, who had been watching from the sidelines, was very satisfied with her future son-in-law. "My future son-in-law is quite good. Look at him now, so aloof, but hidden beneath that aloofness is a sensitive heart. Look at our Yueyue, she didn't say anything and started teaching him on her own initiative. Look how bright Yueyue's smile is."

"That's enough. How old are they? They're so young. Aren't they tired? Sit down and rest for a bit. It's not mealtime yet."

Tang Junyao glanced disdainfully at her best friend, whose eyes were shining.

Then, glancing at Guoguo's belly, which was flat and unchanged, Tang Junyao asked, "Which of you was driving?"

Su Xue: "Isn't that obvious? Of course it's me. I made a solemn promise to bring my brother's darling out today."

My best friend's steady pace was indeed very suitable for Guoguo, a pregnant woman, to ride in; it wasn't just a slow, snail's pace.

Han Guoguo sat down on the sofa, looked around, and said, "Yaoyao, your brother really spoils you."

They weren't usually busy. When there weren't any special surgeries, the senior colleagues would get together to study cases, and Tang Junyao could learn from them. In her spare time, she could even compete with the senior colleagues in sewing pigskin.

"Yes, Han Yue treats you well too, but he's just sharp-tongued."

"His mouth was coated with pufferfish juice, but apart from that mouth, he's not bad." Han Guoguo thought of her brother's good points.

With a bang, the plane that had just taken off crashed down from a great height due to Xiaocaomei's improper operation. Xiaocaomei was so worried about seeing the plane fall apart that she almost cried. Su Xue wanted to go and see what was happening, but Tang Junyao stopped her.

The idea is to let the child handle it himself, and only help him if he can't handle it well. Tang Junyao believes her son can handle it.

The old man was afraid that Xiaoyouzi's emotional intelligence would be like Ji Hancheng's, so he started educating her very early on, including how to handle these small things.

As expected, Little Yuzu was not angry at all. Instead, she took a tissue from the table in the living room and handed it to Little Strawberry, saying simply, "It's okay, Daddy will fix it."

Little Strawberry still felt embarrassed and apologized, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Little Yuzu took out a lemon candy that Ji Hancheng had given him as a reward from her pocket. "Don't cry, this is delicious."

"Thank you, brother."

The three people sitting on the sofa stared in disbelief at the little man. Su Xue couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, his emotional intelligence is much better than your Lao Ji's. If Xiao Nan had broken your Lao Ji's treasure today, he would definitely have been challenged to a fight."

Tang Junyao laughed, knowing her best friend would say that. "Grandpa taught her that. He's afraid Lele will become the second Hancheng, so he pays special attention to her emotional intelligence. Even my mother-in-law does the same."

Guoguo put one hand on her stomach and laughed heartily, "Just how low is your husband Lao Ji's emotional intelligence? He's made the whole family feel traumatized."

"You can use your imagination; he really used to be the kind of person who leaked electricity," Tang Junyao said with a smile, encouraging Guoguo to use her imagination.

Su Xue nodded to Guo Guo, agreeing with her best friend's words.

Guoguo: What kind of species is this, that it can be so low?
