When Grandma Kuang found out that Luo Huai was pregnant, she was overjoyed. She stopped going to Luo Huai's vegetable garden as often and stopped buying locust honey. Instead, she bought a lot of fabric and needles and thread and started making clothes, pants, shoes, and old-fashioned baby carriers for carrying the baby.

I used to go to bed at 7 or 8 pm, but now I stay up until 11 or 12 pm.

"Old lady, your eyes are going to go blind from staying up so long!" Kuangye snatched the needle and thread from her hand. "What's the rush? There are still eight or nine months to go."

Grandma Kuang snatched it back and continued sewing, scolding him for not knowing anything. "If I don't hurry, my eyes will be even blinder in another year. You grew up wearing these clothes that I sewed."

"Luo Huai, don't worry, these little clothes I made won't be worn as the innermost layer by the children. You can buy the innermost ones yourselves, they won't irritate the children. And the baby carrier, I'll carry it myself." She was also worried that the young people wouldn't like it.

Luo Huai smiled and went over to take the work from her hands and put it aside. "Grandma, we feel at ease wearing it inside. Kuang Ye is right, there's no need to rush. Take your time, there's still a long way to go."

"Sigh." Grandma Kuang listened to Luo Huai's advice, put down her work, washed up and went to bed. Before going to sleep, she would greet the little guy and introduce herself.

Not just grandma, almost everyone is like that.

Uncle Luo, Aunt Lin, and Sister Yunshang came over. They first called out to Luo Huai, and then introduced themselves to the little guy in her belly who was only the size of a soybean and hadn't fully developed yet.

"I'm your maternal grandmother."

"I'm grandpa."

"I'm your auntie."

Zhu Shuangshuang, who usually has a loud voice, became soft-spoken, "I'm your godmother, godmother, remember that."

Upon hearing this, Old Shen first said, "I am your Uncle Shen," and then quietly said to Luo Huai, "Sister-in-law, you should explain to the child later that I am his/her future godfather."

This left Luo Huai both amused and exasperated. He turned around and told Zhu Shuangshuang about it, asking her what she thought.

Zhu Shuangshuang slowed down her eating of fruit, pretending not to understand, "What are you thinking? My train home is tomorrow afternoon, and my parents went to buy my favorite dishes today."

Luo Huai then understood.

Zhu Shuangshuang once said that she would never date in a long-distance relationship because she couldn't bear the hardships of such a relationship.

"Your wedding will have to wait until after the baby is born, right? That's good, otherwise my parents will think I can't let go of Ningcheng after I just went back for a few days."

"Does Brother Shen know you're leaving tomorrow?"

“Why would he need to know?” Zhu Shuangshuang turned her head and said, “Also, don’t come to see me off, you’re pregnant.”

"So what if I'm pregnant? I still go to work."

"Don't see me off. If you do, it'll make it seem like we've never seen each other again."

Luo Huai smiled: "We won't avoid each other."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Of course! I'll sleep here tonight."

“Then you have to sleep with me,” Luo Huai said. “One of the three rooms is Yu Rou’s princess room, another was turned into a children’s room by Brother Zhao overnight, and the third is a storage room.”

The storage room was filled with all sorts of her supplements and children's things; Aunt Zhou had been trying to organize it for several days but hadn't finished.

Upon hearing that she would be sleeping with Luo Huai, Zhu Shuangshuang immediately hugged her and deliberately said, "Oh dear, won't your husband be angry?"

Luo Huai laughed and reached out to poke her head, "Don't provoke him."

Zhu Shuangshuang laughed heartily, "Have you not told the Xing family about your pregnancy yet? Xing Yuru doesn't know either, does she?"

“Wait until the pregnancy is a bit further along,” Luo Huai said. “Brother Zhao seems a little worried about things over there. He’s been quite troubled during his time in power.”

“Oh right, right, the world of the wealthy is a deep and mysterious place, you have to be careful,” Zhu Shuangshuang said. “But if someone really wants to investigate, it’s hard to hide it in this era of big data.”

“Brother Zhao is quite worried about my pregnancy. Now I have bodyguards with me when I go out.” Luo Huai couldn’t help but rub his forehead. “Now almost everyone in the company knows that I bring bodyguards to work.”

"Awkward, isn't it? Hahahaha..."

"Hmm." Luo Huai nodded, but it was alright. This did save a lot of trouble in terms of interpersonal relationships. Sister Kelly was keeping a low profile now, and she would patiently explain any work-related issues.

At night, Xing Yanzhao knew that Zhu Shuangshuang was going to sleep here. He didn't show any extra expression. He just squatted down in front of Luo Huai and said to her belly, "Call me Daddy."

Luo Huai: "..."

I laughed speechlessly.

"How do we call that?"

"You teach me."

Seeing that Xing Yanzhao was really serious, she went along with it and said, "Baby, this voice is your dad's."

Then she looked up.

Are you satisfied?

"Okay." Xing Yanzhao was satisfied. "You all get some rest. If you need anything, just call me. I'm right here on the sofa in the living room, I can hear you."

"Aren't you going to sleep across the street?"

"It's too far." Xing Yanzhao was afraid his wife wouldn't hear him calling.

"Just a few steps."

"This door is very soundproof."

"I have a cell phone."

"You don't understand." Xing Yanzhao shut Luo Huai up with one sentence. Luo Huai actually understood, so he stopped arguing with him and asked Xiaoming to bring him a quilt.

As they were going to bed, Luo Huai asked Zhu Shuangshuang, "Do you mind if we don't close the door completely?"

"I don't mind."

Luo Huai left a crack in the door, letting in a little warm yellow light from inside. She looked at the bulge on the sofa and smiled.

Xing Yanzhao raised his arm and rested it behind his head. He heard Luo Huai talking to someone, soft and gentle, like the rustling of insects he heard when he slept on the roof in the summer as a child, which was comforting.

He smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he could still see a faint light coming through the crack in the door. The desk lamp was still on, left for him, so that he could find Luo Huai's location immediately.

……

Guo Hui was somewhat anxious. She hadn't seen Xing Yanzhao for quite some time, and even though she met with Han Zhang every day, all she got from him was the news that Luo Huai was pregnant.

She thought this was an opportunity for her, since men are most likely to cheat on their wives when they are pregnant. However, she was unable to meet Xing Yanzhao several times.

Even when Han Zhang invited him, Xing Yanzhao refused, saying he was too busy with work, taking his wife to and from work, and sometimes having to visit the Xing family's old house. His schedule was packed and he had no free time.

Feeling down, I returned to the hotel and accidentally bumped into a rich young lady.

The young lady scolded her for being blind and looked down at her as if she were an ant, which made her even more determined to get back with Xing Yanzhao.

No matter how powerful Ningcheng's eldest daughter is, she can't surpass the Xing family.

"I'm sorry, I can replace your bag with a new one."

"You only have tens of thousands of yuan on your whole body. You can't afford to pay for this bag." Pei Youyou felt unlucky. She took out her things, threw the bag into the trash can, and then asked for an exorbitant amount, "One million. Go raise the money and bring it here to the hotel manager."

Guo Hui clenched her fists, almost cursing. Did they really think she didn't know what she was talking about? This bag was only worth two or three hundred thousand, yet they dared to ask her for a million.

"No? Then kneel down and apologize."

Guo Hui, of course, would not kneel down, and immediately smiled and said, "I will raise the money." This earned her a sneer.

Pei Youyou answered a phone call and said as she walked, "Zhu Shuangshuang's flight is tomorrow afternoon? Then Luo Huai will definitely take her to the airport, right?"

Guo Hui suddenly turned her head to look.

Luo Huai?

So they followed.
