The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Despite the lavish dinner, Xin Yi felt something was amiss. She didn't know if it was because there were few people or something else, but she simply had no appetite.

"Yiyi, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating? Is it because the food isn't to your liking?" Aunt Qin asked with concern.

Xin Yi apologetically put down her chopsticks and replied, "Auntie, these dishes are really delicious, but I just don't have an appetite today."

"Could it be a cold?" Aunt Qin guessed.

Xin Yi touched her forehead, feeling her temperature, and said, "I don't think I have a fever!"

Suddenly, Aunt Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my! You're not pregnant, are you? You silly girl, how could you be so careless!"

Xin Yi was deeply impressed by Aunt Qin's imagination. She smiled helplessly and retorted, "How could that be! How could I possibly be pregnant!"

"Didn't you and Feng Yi have 'that'?" Aunt Qin stared at Xin Yi with a questioning look.

“No way! Nothing happened between Feng Yi and me. Besides, we’ve already broken up. I’ll just pretend to be a stranger whenever I see him!” Xin Yi replied firmly.

Xin Yi spoke in a calm tone, but Aunt Qin felt she was just putting on a brave face, so she quickly comforted her, "Yi Yi, don't be sad. You always have to look forward. As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new. Let me help you look around, and I'm sure you'll find someone even better than the last one!"

"Thank you, Aunt Qin. I'll leave it to you then!" Xin Yi smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "I'm full. I'll go see Sister Xing first."

"Alright, go ahead!" Aunt Qin agreed, and after watching Xin Yi leave the living room, she sighed helplessly, secretly determined to help Xin Yi find a better partner.

Xin Yi gently pushed open the door and immediately saw Hong Xing putting down his bowl and chopsticks with a serious expression.

"Yiyi, I'm so sorry, I accidentally overheard your conversation with my mom..." Hong Xing said apologetically.

"It's okay. I never intended to hide it from you. Since you've already heard it, it saves me the trouble of repeating it again," Xin Yi replied casually.

"So it's all true? Are you really willing to give up this relationship?" Hong Xing's tone revealed a hint of sadness.

Hong Xing's question caused Xin Yi to feel a pang of sadness. This short-lived relationship was her first love in two lifetimes, and it ended so abruptly.

After a moment of silence, Xin Yi said, "What's there to be reluctant about? There was never any emotional foundation to begin with. It was just a result of speaking out of the blue. When it comes to relationships, it all depends on fate!"

Hong Xing looked at her helplessly, thinking, "This girl is really stubborn, but that's good, so she won't suffer more in the future."

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll support you. You're so outstanding, you'll definitely find someone better!" Hong Xing comforted him.

Hearing Hong Xing's words, Xin Yi felt a little better, but she still couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, how long do you plan to let my sister-in-law breastfeed? We're getting ready to go back to the village tomorrow," Xin Yi said, waving her hand.

"So soon! That means it'll be a long time before I see you again..."

Hong Xing looked at Xin Yi with reluctance, then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of a good idea, and he said excitedly, "How about this, let your sister-in-law come and stay at my house? That way we can see each other every day!" After saying that, he gave Xin Yi a flattering smile.

"What are you thinking? My sister-in-law needs to take care of her newborn. Putting aside the fact that it's not right for her to come to your house, two pregnant women taking care of their newborns, plus three newborns, are you trying to exhaust Aunt Qin to death?" Xin Yi stared wide-eyed at Hong Xing in disbelief.

"Hehe, I was just saying it offhand, don't be angry!" Hong Xing scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Fine, I won't argue with you. How much breast milk do you plan to have?" Xin Yi shook her head helplessly, deciding not to dwell on the issue and getting straight to the point.

"One month should be enough, after all, the baby can't keep drinking someone else's milk. They can start drinking formula when they're a little older," Hong Xing replied seriously, a hint of earnestness in his eyes.

“Okay, then it’s one month. My sister-in-law can’t spare any more than that.” Xin Yi nodded in agreement.

She knew that although Hong Xing was usually carefree and easygoing, he was quite reliable when it came to important matters.

“But then, wouldn’t we be unable to get fresh breast milk?” Hong Xing said worriedly.

“I was just about to say that. I plan to collect enough breast milk after I go back to the village and take it to the town’s supply and marketing cooperative. I heard that the town’s supply and marketing cooperative goes to the county’s supply and marketing cooperative every day to get supplies, so I can also deliver the breast milk to Brother Tong!” Xin Yi said confidently.

"You know what, this is indeed a good idea. I'll tell Tong Yang when he gets back!" Hong Xing said happily.

"Remember to tell Brother Tong to spend some money appropriately, so that no one with ulterior motives reports him for undermining socialism!" Xin Yi reminded him.

“Yes, you’re right. I must remember to tell him that this matter could be a big deal or a small deal!” Hong Xing said with a serious expression.

"That's good. I'll go wash up first and then come keep you company!" Xin Yi said gently.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for my wife!" Hong Xing joked.

Xin Yi didn't know what had gotten into her, but she actually agreed and said, "Pah, you rascal!"

"Hahahaha..." Hong Xing laughed heartily.

Xin Yi was extremely embarrassed and quickly left the room, leaving Hong Xing alone, laughing uncontrollably.

When Xin Yi finished washing up and returned to her room, she found that Hong Xing was the only one left in the room.

"Sister Xing, where are the two little ones?" Xin Yi asked in confusion.

“Oh, my mom just came in and carried them both to the next room,” Hong Xing replied.

"Did you carry both of them? Can Aunt Qin keep an eye on them by herself?" Xin Yi asked with some concern.

"It's my mom. She thought Tong Yang might come back late, and it wouldn't be convenient for him to come to our room to pick up the child then," Hong Xing explained.

Xin Yi thought it made sense and didn't press the matter further.

She took off her shoes and climbed into bed, then, as if remembering something, suddenly said to Hong Xing, "Sister Xing, with such a great figure, how could you not have enough food for two children?"

After saying that, she looked at Hong Xing with a mischievous grin.

Hong Xing wasn't shy at all. Instead, she deliberately puffed out her chest and leaned closer to Xin, saying provocatively, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you little girl!"

She thought to herself that Xin Yi definitely wouldn't dare to actually make a move, so she felt fearless.

However, to Hong Xing's surprise, Xin Yi did not back down as she had imagined. Instead, she went a step further and even took the opportunity to pinch him.

This sudden action left Hong Xing wide-eyed and momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"It feels pretty good! Hahaha!"

"Yiyi, you're so mean!"

Hong Xing's face was flushed, like a wronged young wife.
