What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Hearing Ning Ru address her as "sister-in-law," Jiu Ge's ears turned slightly red again.

"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

"Boss has a good eye."

"What song would you like to sing, sister-in-law? I'll pick one for you."

Other spirits also enthusiastically stepped forward to chat.

Jiuge nodded and greeted them one by one, but after a while, she was still a little caught off guard.

After a few pleasantries and chats, more than ten minutes had passed in the illusion.

Jiuge has no experience of having to put in a lot of effort to cope when a crowd is enthusiastic.

Therefore, she felt somewhat strained and uncomfortable during this conversation.

The private room was large, with a total of more than a dozen people inside.

Including An Chen and Jiu Ge, there are fifteen men and three women.

An Chen recognized all fourteen male spirits who came as promised, and the other two female spirits were the girlfriends of his two friends, whom he did not remember before.

Jiuge only knew Zhang Zhidong and Mao Maotou; everyone else was a stranger, so she was very nervous.

"You have so many spirit friends. I thought there would be at most five." Jiuge looked at the lamp above her head that emitted colorful and dazzling light, her eyes feeling a little uncomfortable.

"We all met by chance. The people I invited this time are all friends I can trust 100%."

As he spoke, An Chen took out a box of popcorn from the snack bag and handed it to Jiu Ge.

Jiuge put a few pills in her own mouth and then put a few more into Anchen's mouth.

She had barely bitten a few times when she suddenly covered her ears.

The only one singing with the microphone right now is the little kid, Mao Mao Tou.

Seeing that the spirits around him were all giving way to him, he very impolitely ordered several children's songs by himself.

A moment later, he'll be singing "Counting Ducks" at the top of his lungs from the side.

A moment later, it was there howling and singing loudly: "Ahhhhh, Black Dog Sheriff!"

"Zhang Zhidong." Seeing that Jiuge's ears were about to give out, An Chen quickly called Zhang Zhidong over with a smile.

"Not bad! What's wrong?" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhidong saw Jiu Ge covering her ears looking pitiful.

Before An Chen could explain further, he punched the little boy on the head!

"Great! Loud! You sang very well! But you're not allowed to sing like that again!"

I quite liked Chapter 174 (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

Mao Mao burst into tears.

He turned around and bumped headfirst into An Chen's arms.

Because we are now in an illusion, all the spirits have become materialized, so the tears, snot, and saliva that Mao Mao Tou is drooling look no different from real ones.

"Brother Anchen, Zhang Susu bullied me." While crying, Mao Mao Tou nudged Anchen's body with his head.

If it were before, he would definitely have used Jiuge as a confidante without hesitation.

But this time, because of the experience of being knocked away by a punch a few days ago, Mao Maotou simply didn't have the courage to risk his life again.

“Hiss…” An Chen, with a stern face, lifted up the still snotty-nosed little boy.

His clothes were already stained with the little boy's tears, snot, and saliva.

The spirits inside the private room were still singing enthusiastically, thoroughly enjoying the warmth of life, and were unaware of the little incident that had occurred.

"..." Jiuge looked at the scene in front of her with a bewildered expression.

The next moment, she hurriedly started rummaging through the snack bag for tissues.

An Chen glanced at Zhang Zhidong, who was standing beside him watching him with great interest, and then slightly bowed.

With two long strands of snot already running down his nose, the little boy was placed in Zhang Zhidong's arms, and Zhang Zhidong sat back down on the sofa, satisfied.

Zhang Zhidong's clothes were also covered in snot and saliva.

He frowned and put the little boy down.

Zhang Zhidong glanced at Jiuge for help, and Jiuge handed him a tissue.

"Sigh...kids are such a hassle." With a sigh, An Chen began wiping his clothes with tissues.

He somewhat regretted inviting Mao Maotou.

There's no need for children to liven things up in this situation.

If it's someone you know well, Zhang Zhidong, who just seems warm and friendly, is enough.

"An Chen, don't you like children?" Jiu Ge blinked and whispered to An Chen.

She started thinking about certain things that would happen after she got married.

It's noisy inside a karaoke bar, so if you don't sit close enough, the other person might not be able to hear you.

“I don’t like bratty kids.” An Chen pointed to Mao Maotou, who was still wiping away tears by the wall, with a helpless expression.

"Are all kids like that?" Jiuge frowned upon hearing this.

She actually doesn't like unruly kids either, otherwise she wouldn't have been so resistant and afraid of the loud and boisterous little boy in the first place.

Now that we're familiar with each other, the natural urge to say "I refuse" to the unruly child has lessened considerably.

"No, there are also children who are very well-behaved and sensible from a young age." An Chen recalled his past experiences after a long time and came to this conclusion.

His past life was very colorful, and he had met many different kinds of children.

"Oh, so you like well-behaved and sensible children?" Jiuge continued to whisper in his ear.

As she asked the question, she also glanced around to see if anyone was looking at her.

"I quite like it," An Chen replied truthfully.

"Then...then do you really hope that I can have several well-behaved and sensible children in the future?" Jiuge's eyes darted around.

She finally mustered the courage to ask the question she really wanted to ask.

"Huh?" An Chen wondered if he had misheard.

"What did you just say?" he asked after a moment's hesitation.

“You…” Jiuge’s face turned bright red.

"I'm asking you if you really hope I can have several well-behaved and sensible children in the future!!!" In her excitement, her voice suddenly became very loud.

When it comes to children, Jiuge doesn't really have a concept of them.

She felt affection for those little kids.

However, that stems from a natural respect for life and a sense of mission to protect everyone.

But now that An Chen has expressed his preference for well-behaved and sensible children, she has suddenly started to think about this issue.

"Cough...how many children?" An Chen was surprised.

The entire room suddenly fell silent.

Apart from the music, there was no other sound throughout the entire venue.

Mao Mao Tou stopped crying and stared blankly at the scene before him.

Because Jiuge accidentally asked the question very loudly, all the spirits in the group were stunned.

Zhang Zhidong paused for a moment, then began to thoughtfully observe An Chen and Jiu Ge.

Isn't this couple moving a little too fast?

Only recently have they dared to be intimate in front of others; before that, Jiu Ge would get shy when asked about her relationship.

It's only been a few days, and questions like how many children we should have are already emerging.

“Um…” Jiu Ge looked around helplessly.

All the spirits stared intently at her and An Chen, each with their own fascinating expressions.

"As expected of the eldest brother, he's already starting to think about the children." Qin Ye spoke first, breaking the mysterious atmosphere.

An Chen remained silent.

He was a little conflicted...

Should we answer Jiuge's question or resolve this awkward situation?

“I also have a lot of experience in childbirth.” The sturdy Ning Ru shifted her body and moved next to An Chen.

"No, it's a pity I'm dead." He sighed again.

"However, if you have any questions about having children, feel free to ask me. I have a lot of experience in how to take care of children after they are born, how to cultivate good habits in children, how to cultivate children's self-learning ability, and how to help children stand out in this competitive society." Ning Ru said in one breath.

During his lifetime, he was a very famous doctor in the neighboring city.

She had her first child when she was twenty, and her second child when she was twenty-two.

Furthermore, both children are now outstanding academic achievers.

He worked too hard on his job, his life, his wife, and his children, and eventually died suddenly in his thirties due to overwork.

In this regard, Qin Ye, who also died from overwork, has a lot to say.

However, he was younger than Ning Ru and did not have a girlfriend, let alone children, while he was alive.

"Waaah... Waaah..." Jiuge covered her face, unable to face reality.

If she could, she would love for the rocks that created the environment to make a hole in her and send her straight down into it.

"Thank you. I'll consult you if I have any questions in the future." An Chen chuckled and patted Ning Ru on the back.

Unlike Jiuge, he has a thick skin and can handle this situation without changing his expression or skipping a beat.

If it weren't for Jiu Ge's feelings, An Chen could have answered Jiu Ge in public.

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me. I guarantee your child can easily break through the fierce competition!" Ning Ru smiled, her eyes becoming even more tender than usual.
