"Wow, am I going to be an uncle again? Ahhh, so happy!" Li Siqi ran down from upstairs cheering.
"You two, go away." Shang Wan glared at them, then her eyes lit up as she looked at Nianyang’s belly,
"So I’m going to be a grandmother, ahhh, so happy!"
Everyone, "..."
Turns out, they’re all one family, aren’t they?
Soon-to-be grandpa Li Zhenhua smiled with squinted eyes, as this was his only grandson. Chu Tianming, Yunrou, and Chu Zhen were also extremely excited.
Chu Old Master sighed, "Finding you wasn’t easy. Being able to see a grandson in my lifetime, I truly have no regrets even if I die."
Nianyang unhappily said, "Grandpa, don’t say that. You still have forty years to live and can see your granddaughter get married and have kids."
Chu Zhen laughed heartily, "That’s right, you still need to see the grandson get married and have kids."
Shang Wan chuckled, "Alright, let’s eat together, the food’s getting cold."
After sitting down, Nianyang realized most of the dishes on the table were the ones Li Tingyan usually made for her, specially nutritious for pregnant women.
Clearly, Li Tingyan had instructed them. Nianyang was warmly served by family members, with food piling like little mountains in front of her.
Nianyang, "..."
Great, now back home, she felt like she was going to develop in the direction of a pig.
Zhang Yun, already over eight months pregnant, with a rosy complexion, said,
"Yangyang, I’m due in a month, just in time for your baby next year, they can be companions. Oh, and there’s little Tian, she’s over four months now, we really timed this together."
Jiang Tian, who was mentioned, touched her protruding belly and smiled slightly,
"Yangyang, we’re such close sisters indeed. When our babies are born, they absolutely must become sworn siblings."
Nianyang chuckled, "You think we’re living a martial world life, don’t joke."
With the women chatting away, Li Tingyan didn’t participate, occasionally serving Nianyang food while mentioning to Shang Wan the need for a nanny in the courtyard.
Shang Wan happily agreed,
"Sure, I happen to know a sister who’s looking for nanny work. I’ll contact her to come over, and pay her according to market rates."
Amidst a joyful meal, the elders began to frantically discuss topics related to Nianyang’s pregnancy.
By the end, even the child’s name, future school, and specialties were already arranged.
Li Tingyan, "..."
Nianyang, "..."
Having finished the meal with difficulty, her belly filled to the brim, Nianyang called Jiang Tian aside, "Sweet Jie, I’ve been telling you to calm down for over three months. What are you thinking now?"
Jiang Tian dodged her gaze, "What do you mean thinking?"
"Pretending to be dumb with me, it’s obviously about the baby. Haven’t you told my uncle and aunt yet?"
Nianyang stared at her belly, "It’s four months now, are you planning to keep it secret like this? It’s already November, and in three months it’ll be New Year, where my uncle and aunt will surely expect you to return. Are you going to frighten them with a big belly then?"
Jiang Tian bit her lip, "Yangyang, I’m afraid to tell them. If they know, they’ll definitely make me abort the baby."
"Then are you planning to secretly give birth, never telling anyone, and keep it from my uncle and aunt forever?"
