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

The people were speaking in hushed tones. Yan Na stood by the cradle for a while, then leaned closer and whispered, "Han Yue, your daughter's features look a lot like yours, but your son's features look more like Xi Xi's."

Han Yue: "Mm."

Yan Na never cared about Han Yue's coldness. That's just how she is. If Han Yue were to chat with her, she might think he had taken the wrong medicine.

The couple stayed in the ward for a while, but seeing that Xixi still showed no signs of waking up, and that Yan Na and Han Yue couldn't get along—that guy always managed to kill the conversation, even worse than her—they decided to stay in the conversation.

Before leaving, Yan Na took out two cards and placed them on the children's chests, making sure they wouldn't touch their delicate skin through their clothes. Her lips moved slightly as she said, "These two cards are a gift from my dad to the little ones. Please tell Uncle Han about them."

Before coming, Yan's father gave Yan Na two cards and asked her to bring them to the hospital, saying that it was essential to bring them, otherwise Han's father would say she was stingy.

The two of them are over 100 years old combined, but they are still incredibly immature. They always want to be the best, compare themselves to others, and show off, just like kindergarten kids.

Han Yue naturally put away the card and thanked the child on his behalf, saying, "Please thank Uncle Yan for me."

"Alright, you hold her. Your sister-in-law and I will go to the Yan family first. We'll go back tomorrow afternoon. You'll be in charge of taking care of Xixi from now on." Lan Yunchen carefully placed the child in Han Yue's arms. He only let go after Han Yue had a firm grip on her. When he let go, he noticed that Han Yue's hand gestures weren't quite right, so he kindly helped to straighten Han Yue's hands.

Han Yue glanced at his hands, which Lan Yunchen had just rearranged, and wondered if he had made a mistake in how the nurse had instructed him to hold her. It seemed quite correct. He replied, "Yes, it won't tire Xiao Xi out."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. We'll be going now, and we'll come back tonight." Lan Yunchen said, then took Yan Na's hand and left.

Han Yue didn't say much, and his words were always concise: "Hmm."

As Lan Yunchen stepped out of the ward, his phone, hidden in his pocket, vibrated. Holding Yan Na's hand with one hand, he took out his phone with the other to check the message. It was from Tang Junyao: "Brother, why didn't you notify me?"

Lan Yunchen knew his sister would pursue the matter, so he sent her a smiley face: Xixi said you've been very busy lately, and she was afraid of disrupting your work schedule. Don't be angry, Xixi is fine. Han Yue accompanied her in.

After reading her brother's message, Tang Junyao understood: "Then I'll go to the Capital Hospital now."

Lan Yunchen: Xixi is asleep now. Didn't you chair a meeting this afternoon? Come over after you're done. Xixi is doing well now, don't disrupt her schedule.

Lan Yunchen knew what his sister had been doing recently and didn't want to disrupt her plans.

Tang Junyao: Okay then, I'll go over after the meeting, but I guess it'll be time to leave work by then.

Lan Yunchen: It's okay. Your brother and sister-in-law didn't stay at the hospital either. We went back to the Yan family home.

Tang Junyao: Okay.

Lan Yunchen: Keep going, I believe in you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Tang Junyao replied with a cheering emoji.

After finishing his conversation with his sister, Lan Yunchen put his phone away and tucked it back into his pocket. Yan Na opened the driver's seat and got in, while Lan Yunchen remained in the passenger seat.

"Yaoyao is quite ambitious. It seems you thought this project in the capital was well thought out."

Yan Na started the car, skillfully operating the steering wheel with one hand, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. Lan Yunchen leaned back in his seat and replied calmly, "Yao Yao is sentimental. Whenever she gets the slightest chance to save the people around her, she will try her best to do so."

Yan Na nodded and said nothing more. The car drove steadily toward the Yan family home.

Ji Group.

As soon as Ji Hancheng arrived at the company, the man, dressed in a crisply pressed suit, strode into the private elevator, followed by Xu Mingkai. He pressed the floor button and began to report on his schedule for the day, holding a folder in his hand. After finishing, he closed the folder.

"The video conference with overseas staff tonight is canceled, or you can attend it instead."

Xu Mingkai didn't know Lan Yunxi had given birth, so he couldn't understand why their boss was skipping work again. "But the meeting tonight is quite important, should we cancel it?"

"Then you can drive it. Even if you don't drive it well, you can still drive it." After Ji Hancheng finished speaking, the elevator opened, and the man strode out, passing by the secretariat.

Xu Mingkai, who followed behind, looked constipated. Why did he say it was important? If he wasn't going to hold the meeting, he wasn't going to. It's not his company. Why was he being so dedicated?

Xu Mingkai, who was so cheeky, wanted to slap himself a few times. When the secretariat saw Xu Mingkai following behind and pretending to slap himself, they all gaped in disbelief, thinking that the boss was punishing him for doing this. Everyone's eyes were full of sympathy.

As Ji Hancheng entered the office, he sat down at his desk, preparing to send a message to Yao Yao. Xu Mingkai, who followed him in, sat quietly opposite him, his mood as if he were attending a funeral.

Ji Hancheng: Honey, Xixi gave birth. When are we going? Han Yue said Xixi is sleeping right now.

Tang Junyao replied: My brother just texted me, how about waiting for me to get off work?

Ji Hancheng: Okay, I'll listen to you.

night.

Lan Yunxi's ward was very lively, with almost everyone present except for Han Guoguo and Su Yu. The reason was simple: Han Yue wouldn't allow it.

Guoguo is pregnant, and Han Yue asked Su Yu to stay home and take good care of his younger sister.

Ji Hancheng asked Xu Mingkai to go and get two more universal cards. He then gestured to Yao Yao to give her a gift. Tang Junyao received the gesture, understood, got up, took the cards out of her pocket, and put them in Xi Xi's hand. "Xi Xi, keep these two cards. They are a little gift from your brother-in-law to the two little ones. After you finish your confinement period, you can go to the mall and pick out whatever you like."

Lan Yunxi happily accepted the two cards from her sister, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, sister."

Lu Jinnan, sitting on the sofa eating sunflower seeds, glanced at the card in Xi Xi's hand and teased, "Brother Cheng, are you in the wholesale business?"

Su Xue was leisurely drinking the milk tea prepared by Han Yue. To those who knew, it looked like a hospital room; to those who didn't, it looked like they were having a tea party.

The table was covered with snacks, milk tea, nuts, and fruits—everything imaginable. Han's mother had bought the items after she woke up. Hearing that the children were coming to visit Xixi that evening, Han's mother and Shen Muyun went out and bought two bags of things.

Han's mother was driving a Pagani, and Shen Muyun was sitting in the passenger seat.

Lan Yunxi held two cards in her hand, smiling broadly. She was in a good mood, but her stomach was still quite painful, a side effect of the anesthesia wearing off. However, she kept smiling, afraid that if she frowned, her brother Yue would worry.

Tang Junyao thought for a moment and said to her younger sister again, "Next time, no matter what time it is, even if it's the middle of the night, you must call your older sister, understand?"

Tang Junyao knew that her younger sister felt it wasn't good to wake her up in the early morning. This girl has grown up now and always considers others' feelings. After saying that, she patted her sister's head.

Lan Yunxi smiled gently, her attitude of admitting her mistake was very good, "I understand, sister."

Ji Hancheng eased the tension, knowing that both sisters had their own thoughts. One was worried that the older sister was working too hard, and the other wanted to accompany the younger sister. He said to Lu Jinnan, "If you think the wholesale price is too low, I can buy it back."

"Never mind then, it's quite convenient to use." Lu Jinnan picked out a bag of potato chips, intending to share it with Su Xue. After taking a bite, his mouth was full of chips. "Han Yue, let me tell you, my wife almost killed me because she wanted to get Xixi's surgery."

Speaking of this, Su Xue almost spat out her milk tea while laughing, her straw pressed against her tongue, and the image of Lu Jinnan holding her in her mind came to mind.

Han Yue and Ji Hancheng remained silent. They both knew Lu Jinnan's temperament all too well; even if they didn't ask, he couldn't keep a secret. Lan Yunxi, however, unaware of this, politely asked, "By the way, how come you arrived so punctually?"

Didn't Su Yu say they were unreliable and wouldn't succeed?

Guoguo said definitively what the magic tool for getting out of bed is.

Lu Jinnan put down his milk tea and recounted what had happened in the early hours of the morning. He spoke with great enthusiasm, almost to the point of gesturing wildly. Everyone in the room was so shocked that they couldn't say a word until Lu Jinnan mentioned that Su Xue had hidden her phone inside her pajamas, at which point everyone burst out laughing.

Lan Yunchen couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand to hide his laughter. Yan Na took a piece of jackfruit, handed one to Lan Yunchen, and smiled. She glanced at Su Xue and thought she was a real character.

Lu Jinnan was sensible enough not to say that Su Xue hid her phone in her underwear, but in her pajamas.

Even Han's mother and Shen Muyun, who were sitting on the sofa, smiled. They hadn't expected Su Xue to work so hard to help Xixi give birth; she was so dedicated.

Shen Muyun said gratefully, "Xiaoxue, thank you so much, Auntie. You've worked so hard."

Su Xue quickly took the milk tea down and waved her hand, "Auntie, it's okay. I already made an appointment with Xixi." It's mainly for collecting, as it's rare to be able to deliver twins; twins don't happen every day.

Han Yue sat on the edge of the bed, holding the child. He had probably been holding her all day, and the little one was starting to cling to him. Han Yue's mother and Shen Muyun would cry when they held her, but Xi Xi wouldn't cry when she was held. However, Han Yue couldn't bear to let the little girl hold him all the time, so he had to endure the hardship of holding her.

Ji Hancheng also had a smile on his lips. Even he hadn't expected Su Xue to be such a prodigy. He glanced at Han Yue and said, "The cradle is just for show."

Han's mother explained, "This child just likes to stick to Xiaoyue. He cries as soon as he's put down. Xiaoyue has been holding him since he was born."

Because of the presence of his elders, Lu Jinnan didn't speak his mind. But after hearing what Han's mother said, Lu Jinnan was overjoyed, thinking that this child was there to teach Han Yue a lesson. He happily drank his milk tea.

Tang Junyao really didn't believe it. Could such a small child be shy around strangers? "Let me try." Saying that, she got up and stood in front of Han Yue, trying to hug the child.

Just as she took the child from Han Yue's arms, Tang Junyao frowned at the shrill cry of "Wah..." Looking at the little one in her arms who was only crying, she didn't know what to say. "You should hold him. You're really capable." After handing the child back to Han Yue, Tang Junyao even smacked the child's nose.

Ji Hancheng laughed, teasingly, "This is specifically to deal with you."

"So smart, I love this child, he's an angel, hahaha..." Lu Jinnan patted his thigh, tears welling up in his eyes as he laughed. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was happy for Han Yue, laughing so heartily.

In reality, it was gloating.

Su Xue was also puzzled. "That's strange. You don't smell of milk at all, so why are they sticking to you?"

Yan Na almost choked, coughing dryly. The couple spoke in the same tone. Lan Yunchen stroked Yan Na's back, "Slow down."

Han Yue: "............"

The group chatted and laughed in Lan Yunxi's hospital room for over an hour before saying goodbye to her.

Just as they were about to leave, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside. It was Han's father and Lan Chumu who came in. After waking up, Lan Chumu went to the company with Han's father.

Tang Junyao was the first to greet them, "Uncle, hello Uncle Han."

Han's father nodded, and Lan Chumuran smiled, "Let's go back."

Ji Hancheng: "Uncle, um, I'm leaving now. The two kids should probably go to sleep soon."

Tang Junyao explained, "Hanhan and Xiaoyu are used to Hancheng telling them stories at night."

Through the gap between the people, Han's father saw his son still holding his grandson and asked with a smile, "Our little darling doesn't want to sleep in the cradle yet. This child really likes our Xiaoyue. The bond between father and son will definitely be very deep in the future, just like the bond between me and Xiaoyue."

Han's mother: ".............."

Lan Yunchen: "Nana and I are going back first. Xiaoyu might not sleep tonight with Mom."

Yan Na stayed beside Lan Yunchen without saying a word, simply holding his hand.

Lan Chumu and Shen Muyun both told them to go back. Shen Muyun said, "Nana, it's rare for you to come back. Spend some time at home chatting with your mother. Don't worry about Xixi."

"Okay, Mom." Yan Na smiled sweetly.

After the group left.

Lan Yunxi was helped to lie down by Han's mother. "Dad."

Lan Chumu and Han's father answered in unison, "Yes." After they finished speaking, everyone in the ward laughed. Han's father said, "They're both dads, exactly the same."

"Oh my, come and see our little baby, so fair and tender, so beautiful! Grandpa wants to hold him." Mr. Han was overjoyed and reached out to hold him, but before he could, Mrs. Han grabbed his arm and pulled him back, ordering, "Go wash your hands."

Belatedly realizing what had happened, Mr. Han slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, I completely forgot! I'll go right away, little darling, wait for Grandpa."

Everyone was amused by Han's father's cuteness again. Lan Chumu also went to wash his hands, intending to hug his granddaughter, who was fast asleep and very adorable.

After washing his hands, Han's father let Lan Chumu hold him first. The reason was simple: Xixi would be staying in the capital from now on, and he would have many opportunities to hold his grandson, while Lan Chumu would be returning to Lan City soon.

Shen Muyun will not go back with them; she will wait until her daughter's two-month celebration before returning to Lancheng.

In that case, Yan Na would have to stay home to take care of the child and wouldn't be able to go to the company, so Lan Chumu wouldn't be able to stay in the capital for long and would have to go back first.

"You hold her while I take pictures. No rush. Such a cute little darling deserves to be shared. She's adorable even when she's asleep." Mr. Han took a series of photos of the child from every angle. Shen Muyun shook her head, expressing her sympathy for Yan Na's father.

Han's mother didn't even need to look; she knew what it was about without even guessing. She reminded him, "Old Yan gave the child a gift, so don't be too smug."

Upon hearing this, Han's father grinned, not intending to hold back his smugness, "Then I'll post fewer photos."

Everyone: "............"
