Yu Lili, standing by, nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Right, right, Yu Fei is absolutely right! We are close friends. No matter what difficulties or troubles we encounter, we can share the burden and work together to find solutions."

At this time, Xu Yingying looked at the two close friends in front of her with a smile on her face, her eyes full of gratitude and warmth, and said, "Look at you two, where have you been talking about? But to be honest, having you always by my side and supporting me makes me feel very safe and secure."

Wu Yufei then patted her chest and assured, "You can rest assured that we will take care of all the big and small matters in the company. We will definitely do our best to arrange all the work properly and handle every aspect properly. Then we will wait quietly for your safe return."

Yu Lili winked playfully and added with a grin, "Hehe, that's right. When you come back, I'm going to take a long vacation and completely relax and rest."

Wu Yufei rolled her eyes at Yu Lili and said angrily, "Lili, you'd better wait a little longer. At least wait until I finish my vacation first."

Xu Yingying watched the two of them laughing and playing, and felt like she had returned to the carefree days of her student days.

After dinner, Xu Yingying personally escorted the two to the door, smiling and waving goodbye. As she returned to the living room, she felt a sudden wave of fatigue wash over her, and her eyelids began to grow heavy. However, she thought about how she had just eaten a hearty meal. Wouldn't it be bad for her to go to bed right away? After all, she'd heard it's best not to lie down and rest right after a meal.

Despite feeling extremely sleepy, Xu Yingying forced herself to stay awake and slowly walked to the sofa to sit down. She had only intended to sit there for a while, waiting to wake up before deciding whether to go back to her room for sleep. However, it wasn't long before she dozed off, her head nodding as if she could fall asleep at any moment.

At this moment, Mr. Lin came back from outside. He saw Xu Yingying dozing on the sofa at a glance, and a trace of pity and love surged in his heart. He walked over gently and asked with concern: "Yingying, why don't you go back to your room to sleep? It's not very comfortable to sleep here."

When that familiar and kind voice reached Xu Yingying's ears, it was like a thunderclap, waking her suddenly from her daze. As if under a spell, she instantly went from a half-lying position to sitting upright, her entire body tense.

She gently rubbed her still sleepy eyes with her hands, trying to wake herself up as quickly as possible; and explained in a panic: "Grandpa, please don't get me wrong, I'm really not sleepy at all! I just sat here and thought about some problems." As she spoke, her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to hide her true thoughts.

However, Old Man Lin, who was standing nearby, simply smiled slightly, then slowly shook his head. His tone was gentle but undeniable, as he said, "Silly child, stop being so stubborn. Look at you now. You're clearly so sleepy that you can barely keep your eyelids open, yet you insist on saying you're not sleepy. Besides, falling asleep on the sofa like this is not only very easy to catch a cold and get sick, it's also very unsafe. My dear granddaughter-in-law, be obedient and go back to your room and have a good sleep."

After hearing Mr. Lin's caring words, Xu Yingying was about to continue to hold on, but after thinking it over, she felt that what her grandfather said was indeed very reasonable. So, she stopped being stubborn and nodded obediently, saying, "Okay, Grandpa, I'll go back to my room and rest." After saying that, she slowly stood up and straightened her slightly messy clothes and hair.

Seeing Xu Yingying so well-behaved, obedient, and considerate, Mr. Lin's wrinkled face suddenly blossomed into a smile as bright and warm as the spring sun. That smile seemed to melt all the ice, filling the whole room with warmth and joy.

His eyes, filled with affection and love, followed his granddaughter-in-law's light footsteps until she slowly walked towards the room. When Xu Yingying was about to close the door, Mr. Lin did not forget to whisper, "Well, good child, go and have a good sleep!"

After Xu Yingying's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Grandpa Lin withdrew his gaze, slowly took out his cell phone, and expertly dialed the number of his grandson, Lin Weiye. Lin Weiye's familiar voice soon came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Grandpa, why are you calling me at this time? Is there something wrong at home?"

Old Master Lin said earnestly, "Wei Ye, Grandpa thinks you should take a break from work for now. Look, Yingying is pregnant now, and she's getting further along, so it's not very convenient for her to move around. As her husband, you can't just focus on making money! You can earn money anytime, but time spent with your family is something you'll never get back."

Lin Weiye hadn't expected to receive such a sudden call from his grandfather shortly after returning to work that afternoon. He couldn't help but wonder, "Could something really have happened at home?" He quickly asked, "Grandpa, what happened? Don't scare me!"

However, on the other end of the line, Old Man Lin continued to chatter away, "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to remind you. Yingying is such a wonderful child. Carrying a child is so hard, you have to spend more time with her! You know, a woman needs her lover's care and protection most during pregnancy..." Lin Weiye sat there quietly, listening attentively to his grandfather's constant chatter. His eyes were soft and focused, as if he wanted to deeply engrave his grandfather's every word. As time passed, his heart, which had been a little anxious, gradually settled. It turned out that his grandfather's incessant chatter was simply because his wife was pregnant, and the old man was worried that he would neglect his wife's care and attention due to his busy work.

"Grandpa, don't worry! I understand. I'll definitely take care of this," Lin Weiye promised his grandfather sincerely. His voice was low and firm, revealing a reassuring strength.
