Xiao Li, hearing He Jie say this, felt there was hope! "Sister-in-law, hearing you say this, does that mean you’re willing to have a baby?" He Jie nodded, "I’ve never said I didn’t want one! It’s your brother who kept guessing, thinking it was so difficult with the second child, that the third would be even less likely. He doesn’t know that with the second child, it wasn’t that I didn’t want it, I just didn’t want it at that time. You know, he’s pretty smart in business, leaving his rivals dumbfounded. But on these matters, he seems to have a block, making foolish mistakes. Lately, he’s been planning to take me on another trip, and I know exactly what he’s up to. Let’s not even mention how busy the company is, I’m not unaware of it. Last time we traveled, he had to work several night shifts when we got back. If we go again, who knows how busy he’ll be when we return? And besides, the kids are in school, we can’t take any of them with us. In this situation, the trip would hardly be enjoyable. The most important thing is that his mind is not on traveling at all, yet he prefers to trick me into going rather than just talking to me directly. He has never asked me if I want a third child." Hearing this, Qin’s mother exchanged a glance with Xiao Li, suddenly feeling that Qin Tan is indeed a bit silly. Xiao Li, when she originally wanted a third child, clearly asked Qin Xiao to confirm that he didn’t want one before starting to think of ways. Qin Tan didn’t even ask, just came up with ideas in secret—it’s a shame for those brain cells that died because of Qin Tan’s schemes. "Sister-in-law, do you want to directly confront my brother and tell him, or keep watching him fool around?" Xiao Li asked curiously. He Jie took a sip of tea and said, "I’ll go back tonight and confront him directly! I really can’t stand his clueless look any longer!" In truth, He Jie felt sorry for Qin Tan, as he had been secretly planning to take her out while working overtime to make time for it lately. Qin’s mother heard this, her eyes lit up. The eldest son may be a bit silly, but sometimes fools have luck, and in this case, someone cares about him. On the laboratory side, Qin Xiao got busy as soon as he arrived, and it was past nine at night by the time he got back. This was unexpected for him; he thought he wouldn’t be gone so long. Because he was busy at the lab, he didn’t accompany Xiao Li for lunch or dinner today. To finish up and not have to return tomorrow, Qin Xiao worked overtime. When Qin Xiao got home, the kids were already asleep, and only Xiao Li was waiting for him in the living room. Qin Xiao initially wanted to hug Xiao Li upon returning, but then reconsidered since he had just come back from the lab, he decided not to hug her yet, "Nini, I’ll go upstairs for a shower first, then come down to carry you up." Xiao Li smiled sweetly, "Sure, go ahead and wash up!" Qin Xiao rushed upstairs, quickly finished his shower, and came back down. Seeing him return, Xiao Li acted spoiled, reaching out for a hug, "Uncle, I missed you." Qin Xiao smiled, "Mm, I missed you too. I’ll carry you to the room." With that, Qin Xiao picked up Xiao Li and headed to their room. As they walked up the stairs, Xiao Li talked about what she ate today, how long she stayed at Qin’s mother’s place, and also mentioned He Jie’s situation. Qin Xiao listened quietly, occasionally responding, and once they were in the room, the two of them continued chatting while leaning against the bed... Qin Tan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the backseat, opened his eyes upon hearing this and got out of the car with his briefcase. Recently, he had been working under high pressure and was feeling a bit tired. Qin Tan entered the house with his briefcase, a bit surprised that the living room’s main light was on. Lately, Qin Tan had been coming home late, and by the time he arrived, He Jie had usually already settled the two kids on the second floor and was busy with her own things in the room. Usually, only a servant would be there, leaving just a small light on downstairs. Today, however, the main light was on. As Qin Tan walked in, he saw He Jie sitting in the living room. Handing his briefcase to the servant, he walked over to He Jie, "Honey, are you done with your work today?" He Jie nodded, "Yes, all done. I didn’t go to work today, and from now on, I don’t need to attend the studio daily. Someone else will be in charge." Hearing this, Qin Tan’s eyes lit up, "Honey, does this mean we can go on a trip? Let’s have a romantic getaway for just the two of us." He Jie smiled, "You’ve been so busy lately, could you really take time off?" Qin Tan nodded firmly, "I can. Just give me two days to arrange the company’s affairs, and we can go." He Jie raised an eyebrow, "But I don’t want to go." Upon hearing this, Qin Tan was crushed once again! Having failed so many times already, he thought he should be used to it by now, comforting himself. Newest update provided by novelꞁire.net Seeing him , He Jie didn’t say anything more. She stood up, pulled Qin Tan into the kitchen, and served him some soup she had prepared, "You’ve been tired lately, have some to replenish your energy." His heart, which had just been dampened, was warmed up again by the bowl of soup. After finishing the soup, He Jie urged Qin Tan to take a shower. When he came out, he noticed the lights were off with only a small bedside lamp on. Through the dim light, Qin Tan saw He Jie lying down, assuming she might be asleep, so he quietly got into bed. Just as he turned off the light, he was kissed. The next morning, Qin Tan still felt a bit surreal! Last night, Xiaojie actually took the initiative! And they didn’t use protection! The sensation was so unreal! Unreal to the point that it felt a little unrealistically real. This surreal feeling persisted until the night when he came home and experienced it again. This time, he no longer felt surreal. The result of not feeling surreal was that Qin Tan stopped working overtime! At this point, he’d have to be a fool to keep working overtime. After living this fairy-tale life for two months, He Jie became pregnant. At Qin’s mother’s place, Qin’s mother and He Jie were chatting, while Qin Tan sat grinning on the sofa, and Qin’s father was flipping through a book of some sort. Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, upon entering, saw this scene. As soon as Qin Tan saw Qin Xiao, he happily wrapped an arm around Qin Xiao’s shoulder, "Ah Xiao, I’m going to be a dad again!" Qin Xiao nodded, "Congratulations, big brother and sister-in-law!" Xiao Li, already four months pregnant with a slightly bulging belly hidden under her dress, sat next to He Jie. "Sister-in-law, congratulations!" He Jie smiled, "Congratulations to you too!" As they chatted, they heard Qin Tan bragging from the side, "So, how about it? Your brother’s quite efficient, right?" He Jie rolled her eyes upon hearing him, finding it hard to listen! Seeing He Jie’s reaction, Xiao Li laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, mind the prenatal education! Avoid making unrefined gestures or cursing in your mind; the baby can sense the mother’s thoughts." He Jie spread her hands, "Forget it, I’ll just ignore him; he’s a lost cause!" Upon hearing this, Qin’s mother and Xiao Li also chuckled; Xiao Li, still smiling, noticed Qin’s father with his glasses on, reading, and asked, "Dad, what are you reading?"
