Ms. Lu chuckled when she saw his two faces. "It's tough on them. They should go out and play more often. Look at them, they lack the spirit of young people. If this continues, I'm truly afraid our treasure will become as dull as they are." Xiao Yan is a very quiet person. As for A Wei, he was like a little old man when he was young, incredibly dull, and only showed some spirit around Xiao Yan.
Old Zheng never commented on Ms. Lu's assessment of Zheng Wei and his wife, but he did feel the couple was a bit too quiet. Fortunately, their genes hadn't been passed down, and they had a lively, adorable, and mischievous little baby, Ge Da.
...
Zheng Wei only found out about the uproar online the next morning.
When he woke up, Shen Xiao Yan was still sleeping soundly in his arms. He glanced at the message from Assistant Hou, and simply asked the brand department to handle it perfunctorily, not demanding too much.
"Mmm, you're awake?" Shen Xiao Yan's biological clock was also excellent. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zheng Wei stretching his arm out, as if he were holding a bomb.
She smiled, "You're holding your phone that far away, can you even see it clearly? The baby is only this tiny, and I'm not looking at my phone, so it won't radiate me."
Zheng Wei shook his head. He tossed his phone far away and turned back, with a hint of childishness, to embrace her. "It's nothing. It's still early, and we don't have work today anyway."
"Okay." Shen Xiao Yan also found it very comfortable to laze in bed like this occasionally. In these past few days, work and household chores all took a backseat, leaving only the simple act of being herself.
"How about this? On Saturdays, we'll take the baby out to play, and on Sundays, we'll come out for a day trip. What do you say we go play?" Zheng Wei suggested. "We can't forget about the wife just because we have a daughter."
Shen Xiao Yan had no objections. She liked it very much. Although watching movies sounded childish, she was very happy.
"The children are children, but we also need to have our own lives. I can't neglect you," Zheng Wei said, pulling her close and kissing her eyes.
...
Hospital.
Na Muchen quickly browsed her phone. The brand department must have received the boss's instructions, so they had only tidied things up perfunctorily, leaving some photos and scene descriptions. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The boss really knows how to have fun."
"Na Muchen! What are you doing!" Just as Na Muchen was happily scrolling through Weibo, a somewhat angry voice suddenly rang out with the opening of the door, startling her and making her drop her phone.
Upon seeing who it was, Na Muchen sneered, "What, I don't even have personal freedom anymore?"
Seeing that Na Muchen was about to lose her temper, Lu Taobao sighed and his tone immediately softened. "Baby, phones have radiation. Don't look at it for too long."
"You know I'm your baby now? I feel like I'm not your baby anymore, but the one in my belly is?" Na Muchen snorted, turned away, and looked out the window, avoiding Lu Taobao's gaze.
Lu Taobao had previously sought advice from Zheng Wei. He knew that pregnant women's emotions could fluctuate easily, but clearly, his wife's fluctuations were quite significant.
"If you want to hear any news, I'll tell you, okay?" It's true that everything has its match. Lu Taobao believed he wasn't afraid of anything, but he was a little afraid of her.
"Lu Taobao, when can I be discharged from the hospital?" Na Muchen felt like she was growing moss from staying in the hospital for so long. Why did other pregnant women not have so much trouble? Thinking about why she was sent to the hospital, she couldn't help but look at the instigator.
If he hadn't been so unrestrained, she wouldn't have been sent to the hospital for the sake of her pregnancy.
"It's all you," she said disdainfully.
"It's all me. Before the baby is born, I'll do my best to ensure I don't bother you. Baby, calm down?" Lu Taobao took the opportunity to sit by the bed and take Na Muchen's hand.
Lu Taobao usually appeared indifferent, but when he was gentle, it was hard to resist. Otherwise, Na Muchen wouldn't have been entangled with him for so many years.
"Given your sincere attitude in admitting your mistake, I'll stay for two more days. But after two days, I must be discharged," Na Muchen wasn't someone who could sit still. Although she spoke directly and frankly, she was actually very clear-headed and rational about her work and the baby in her belly.
"Pregnancy is indeed very hard, but when I think that the child I'm carrying might be the boss's future son-in-law, I feel very happy," Na Muchen always found ways to amuse herself.
Lu Taobao: "..."
He knew very well that it wouldn't be easy to be Old Zheng's son-in-law. Moreover, even if it were a son, he would be four years younger than Baby. In everyone's eyes, a younger man was always unreliable. Zheng Wei agreed with this sentiment. Even though he believed it himself, he still thought that an older person would be more caring. He and Old Zheng were both a few years older than their wives.
"The thought of the boss getting so angry he'll blow his beard and stare makes me very happy," Na Muchen chuckled.
"Baby, what if it's a girl?" Lu Taobao rubbed his forehead.
"What's the big deal? Then we'll have another one. Maybe the boss's second child will also be a girl? We'll always find a match in the end." Na Muchen was still quite persistent about this.
At this moment, the baby, who was playing behind Ms. Lu, suddenly sneezed several times. She had no idea that at two and a half years old, she was already being thought of by the Lu family.
...
Shen Xiao Yan's pregnancy was very smooth. She didn't even experience the slightest bit of morning sickness. If it weren't for her belly gradually swelling like a blown-up ball, they might have even doubted if she was actually pregnant.
With only two months left until her due date, Shen Xiao Yan touched her large belly, still finding it hard to believe. She felt as if she were carrying an egg in her belly, with no movement at all.
"I think this might be a well-behaved granddaughter," Old Zheng said leisurely.
"Didn't your Aunt Lu say it was a boy?" Ms. Lu asked, confused, but even she didn't believe it herself. "This child is truly too well-behaved."
"Na Muchen's due date is approaching. I see that both Na Muchen's belly and Xiao Yan's are pointed. Let's see whether Na Muchen gives birth to a boy or a girl first," Ms. Lu said cheerfully.
"Heh, Na Muchen can forget about having a sweet little jacket, and she still wants to lay claim to our baby? That's practically asking for death." Zheng Wei decided that from now on, he would resolutely protect his little princess and cut off all potential suitors.
"I think both of them look like boys. Regarding Na Muchen, Taobao seems unwilling to have her checked, so there's no news yet," Ms. Lu explained.
