King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

However, Ye Lan had a very good attitude and was the kind of person who would accept things as they came. At least Lin Xueyao's vomiting symptoms were just due to pregnancy, not some other disease.

The worst-case scenario did not happen.

Besides, the hurdle of getting married and having children will always come eventually; it's just that it's happening earlier now.

He held the examination report in one hand and led Lin Xueyao out of the consultation room with the other.

Ms. Zhang Fengxia, who was waiting outside, was extremely anxious. As soon as she saw the two of them come out, she rushed over to them.

"How are you? What's the situation? What did the doctor say?"

“I’m pregnant. Here’s the ultrasound report and other examination results. Feel free to take a look.” Ye Lan handed over the examination results.

Ms. Zhang Fengxia was overjoyed. The examination report clearly stated that the embryo had formed, which meant that Lin Xueyao was indeed pregnant.

This means she's about to become a grandmother!

"But why isn't the gender listed here? I don't know if I'm expecting a grandson or a daughter!"

Ms. Zhang Fengxia pointed to the conclusion on the report and said unhappily.

Ye Lan gave a helpless, bitter smile. "Mom, doctors don't tell you the gender these days."

Because many families prefer sons to daughters, and because the government has included abortion in medical insurance policies, doctors are not allowed to disclose information such as the baby's gender to the family before the child is born.

However, the Ye family did not have the habit of favoring sons over daughters; it's just that he preferred daughters.

why?

Because he himself was a rebellious son, he certainly didn't want to have a rebellious son to upset him.

Old Ye's high blood pressure is a problem caused by Ye Lan's constant mischief when she was a child.

Therefore, Ye Lan prefers daughters, whether they are obedient and sensible like his own younger sister, or well-behaved and cute like Lin Xueyao, he likes them both.

Ms. Zhang Fengxia is no longer fixated on the gender of her grandchildren, since Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao are still young and it's highly likely they won't only have one child.

I'll have a son and a daughter, and a house full of grandchildren by then. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm floating on air.

After getting some health supplements suitable for pregnant women from the hospital, Ye Lan drove the group back home.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Xueyao could clearly feel that the car was slowing down.

One car after another drove past them, eventually turning their rear ends towards them.

This kind of thing rarely happened before.

On the section of road where the speed could have been increased to 80 km/h, Ye Lan kept the speed at 65 km/h, just barely touching the minimum speed limit line of 60 km/h.

He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his mind highly focused.

Lin Xueyao happily munched on the nuts Ye Wanying had bought, her two delicate white feet swinging merrily in the passenger seat.

Because the doctor advised against wearing high heels, she took them off as soon as she got in the car.

........

The next day, before Lin Xueyao woke up, Ye Lan got up early to wash up and get ready before calling Zhou Ting.

"Has Sister Ting woken up yet this morning?"

"What do you think? It's only a little past six in the morning! Even students don't wake up this early."

Zhou Ting must have a bad temper when she wakes up; you could clearly hear the displeasure in her tone.

The main problem is that six o'clock is just too early. Apart from students and the elderly, very few middle-aged people wake up that early.

"You're my secretary, is this how a secretary talks to her boss?" Ye Lan growled, displaying her authority as the boss.

Zhou Ting rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Excuse me, boss, is there something you need that you're calling me so early?"

"I'd like to buy a villa in Jiangcheng. You've probably seen quite a few, so I need your help in choosing one."

Given Zhou Ting's previous social status, she should have come into contact with many wealthy socialites and should have some understanding of luxury cars and mansions.

Ask her for advice, no problem at all!

"What? You want to buy a villa?" Zhou Ting was instantly flustered. After all, just last year Ye Lan was a game addict who stayed in his rented room playing games.

Now he has become a big boss who is in the public eye.

This huge difference in status was hard for her to accept.

Of course, the most important point is that Zhou Ting herself didn't buy a house!

Because of her family situation, she is very resistant to overspending, so she doesn't want to take on a mortgage and saves her money to buy a house when she has enough.

She has only saved a little over 800,000 yuan so far, and is still a long way from her goal of buying a house.

But Ye Lan, a young woman a decade younger than her, is actually buying a house!

And it's not just any ordinary house; it's a villa that symbolizes status and prestige!

Who can bear this?

How can the differences between people be so great?

“That’s right, Xueyao is pregnant. Our old, small house is inconvenient to live in, so I want to buy a bigger house. A villa is undoubtedly the most suitable.” Ye Lan told her truthfully.

He truly has no ulterior motives towards those he trusts.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Ting's gaze became somewhat unfocused. "Pregnant?"

Although she had long known that she and Ye Lan had no chance of being together, hearing the news with her own ears still brought a pang of sadness to her heart.

It's like a simp sending messages to a goddess every day, and the goddess doesn't reply, but the simp always manages to find ways to manipulate and manipulate himself.

Even if he himself knew it in his heart.

But when the goddess said, "I don't like you," he still felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The dopamine released during love can numb a person's nerves, making them irrational and ultimately leading to wrong judgments.

All Zhou Ting could offer was her own blessing.

"I'm at the Benmu Hotel in Gangnam District. Can you come pick me up?" Zhou Ting said, sending her location to Ye Lan.

"Okay, okay, I'll get dressed and be right there."

Just as Ye Lan hung up the phone, Ye Wanying, who had quietly appeared behind him, squinted and looked at him suspiciously.

"What the heck? When did you get behind me? How come I didn't hear a thing?" Ye Lan was terrified and touched her heart.

Ye Wanying didn't answer, but instead asked a tricky question, "Who were you talking to on the phone?"

"My secretary," Ye Lan answered without hesitation.

"I heard a woman's voice!" Ye Wanying questioned again.

"Nonsense, how many CEOs have you ever seen with male secretaries?" Ye Lan said without changing her expression.

Why call the secretary?

"Don't do it!"

Ye Wanying: ? ? ?

"I asked her to come with me to buy a villa. I have no experience in this area and need her help with the advice. Don't tell your sister-in-law, her birthday is in a few days, and I want to give her a surprise!"

Ye Wanying suddenly felt incredibly romantic, and her suspicions about him diminished dramatically.

"But buying a villa costs a lot of money!" Ye Wanying was a little worried. She had read in romance novels that domineering CEOs lived in mansions worth hundreds of billions, and even the floor tiles were made of pure gold.

He was worried that his older brother didn't have that much money.

Ye Lan gently patted her head, "Don't worry, your brother is super rich!"
