Although we can be well taken care of in the old house, there are too many family members.

Fu Chen wanted to be intimate with Liu Meilan, but he was always worried that someone would push the door open, so he felt very nervous.

Now that we are in the apartment, although we have to get up at night to feed and change diapers, we have more time to be alone.

Liu Meilan took a bath, fed the child, changed the diaper, and cleaned up everything.

The two little babies yawned and closed their eyes while lying on the crib.

Fu Chen wiped his hair with a towel as he walked towards Liu Meilan. The child smacked his lips in the crib, and he paused two steps away, his eyes moving away from the baby's face and falling on the corners of her slightly swollen eyes.

Liu Meilan was still tired from not getting enough sleep during the confinement period, but her eyes were so bright that people couldn't help but indulge in them.

"You've lost weight," he said, reaching for her face but turning away mid-stroke to gently brush a thread from her shoulder. As his fingertips brushed the side of her neck, Liu Meilan flinched, as if burned. The air suddenly grew thick and warm.

The cicadas outside the window chirped intermittently, only the wall clock kept ticking, as if resonating with Liu Meilan's heartbeat.

Fu Chen's breath, mixed with the scent of grass and trees outside, brushed against the loose hair on her forehead. Liu Meilan subconsciously raised her head, and her gaze met his deep, pool-like pupils—there was the familiar restraint, but also something more turbulent, flooding up like the rising tide.

Liu Meilan has never been someone who would put herself in a difficult position. Of course, such a beautiful scene cannot be wasted.

There was a hint of moisture in the corners of her eyes. She put her arms around his waist, buried her face in his neck, and wrapped her arms around Fu Chen's neck like vines, and kissed him passionately.

The last time they were intimate was when they were newly married. She almost forgot what it felt like, but she just remembered that it was a little painful, but it was beautiful afterwards!

Later, when it was discovered that Liu Meilan was pregnant, Fu Chen never touched her again, fearing that his rudeness would hurt her and the child.

She missed the smell of countless days and nights, a mixture of sunshine, sweat and a scent that belonged only to him.

The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the gauze curtains, playfully falling on their intertwined figures, casting mottled light and shadows, and accompanying the instinctive rhythm between men and women, spilling out seductive cries.

The children seemed very sensible and did not disturb their parents until four hours later when they started whining.

Liu Meilan felt sore all over and had just fallen asleep when she heard the crying of the little babies.

Fu Chen quickly got up and whispered in her ear, "I'll go take care of the child!"

He grabbed a towel from a nearby chair and wrapped it around his waist, then went to check on the children. One had urinated and the other had defecated.

His daughter used a small red basin and his son used a small blue basin. He washed their bottoms, changed their diapers, and then prepared milk powder.

Liu Meilan also sat up, wearing a silk nightgown: "Give me the little starfish, I'll feed her!"

"Is there any milk left?" Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly with a wicked smile on his face.

Liu Meilan was startled and looked down at her breasts. Her once full breasts were now deflated and sagging without milk. She immediately burrowed into the thin blanket. "I'm sorry, Dahai and Xiaoxinghai, your jobs have been taken away."

Fu Chen fed the children one by one, carefully held them upright, patted their backs gently, and only put them back into the crib after they burped the milk.

Back on the bed, Fu Chen gently hugged Liu Meilan, and his body began to stir again.

Liu Meilan quickly nestled into his arms: "I'm so sleepy and tired, let's go to sleep!"

Fu Chen chuckled and hugged her, as if he owned the whole world and was full of happiness.

After a while, Liu Meilan's even and long breathing came to his ears, and Fu Chen gradually fell asleep.

In the early morning, they welcomed the new day with the crying of children.

After packing up the children, the family of four returned to the old house.

"Breakfast is ready, come and eat quickly!" Professor Xie urged, carrying the children into the house and letting them play by themselves.

Liu Meilan was very hungry. Breastfeeding requires a lot of nutrition, not to mention that she had consumed a lot of energy last night.

Seeing that his daughter was eating more than usual, Professor Xie looked at her, then at Fu Chen. She had been here since she was young, so how could she not understand?

Professor Xie reminded: "Family planning. If Meilan doesn't want to have an IUD, she should take contraceptive measures."

Liu Meilan blushed: "Mom, I know, we know what's going on."

Fu Chen felt a little embarrassed, so he took the barbecued pork buns and went into the house to check on the two children while eating.

Professor Xie smiled awkwardly, "Don't blame Mom for being nosy. If I don't tell her to her face, Fu Chen might not take it seriously. Pregnancy and miscarriage are the most harmful to women. Having an IUD isn't good either. It's best for men to use condoms."

Liu Meilan nodded. Although she was a little shy, her mother was right. She would not joke about her body. “Yes, Mom, that’s what we do.”

Love between men and women is addictive, but it is far less important than health.

Mayor Tang arrived before we finished breakfast.

"Uncle Tang, do you have something to talk to me about?" Liu Meilan asked. She knew that the other people had little work overlap with Mayor Tang.

Mayor Tang replied, "Let's talk about it after you finish your meal."

Liu Meilan waved her hand: "Uncle Tang, your time is precious. Go ahead and talk. I'll listen while I eat."

Mayor Tang then said, "Because of the previous large-scale demolition on Sanlian Island and the discovery of poison gas bombs, construction has been halted. The Zheng family in Hong Kong is also unwilling to continue investing..."

Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows slightly: "The county doesn't want me to take over, right?"

Mayor Tang lamented, "The county does have this idea. After all, many people have bought houses there, including those on the island as compensation for demolition. Now that construction has stopped, if the buildings become unfinished, people will definitely cause trouble."

Liu Meilan asked, "Are you sure the Zheng family really doesn't want to develop it?"

"The county has actually explained to the Zheng family that the poison gas bombs have been cleaned up and there won't be any more problems, but they don't believe it. They're worried that if something goes wrong after they're deployed, they'll have to pay even more."

Liu Meilan actually knew that the poison gas bombs in the Black Moon Pond on the island had indeed been cleared.

When the Zheng family suddenly came to develop Sanlian Island, she guessed that they might have other purposes.

But now they have given up, why?

At this time, Mr. Liu asked softly, "The main force is about to relocate. Xiao Tang, is the handover process with the local town government going smoothly?"

Liu Meilan, who had no idea at first, suddenly had her eyes light up - the previous investment was suspicious, and they suspected at the time that it was aimed at the army.

Now that the troops are relocating, it is hard to say whether they can achieve their original goal in developing Sanlian Island, so they are hesitant.

Either delay it for a while or sell the project directly and switch to other investments.

After all, the initial investment in the project only accounts for one-fifth, and there are still four-fifths of the funds to be invested later - it is not difficult for them to make a choice between losing one-fifth and losing all of it.
