She was unscrupulous. "HMPH HMPH HMPH, if you want to appreciate me, why can’t I appreciate you first? HEH HEH, let me enjoy the view first... You’re a big, burly man with a great figure. TSK TSK TSK, look at those abs..." Her Devil Palm explored wantonly, full of wicked intent.

He burst out laughing. What a rascal she was! But his laughter was quickly stifled as she pounced on him like a hungry tiger.

His large hands tightened around her, his voice brimming with exceptional joy as he said, "Xixi, you’re so good... especially amazing tonight... My little Xiaobao, you’ve finally learned to serve me too... From now on, serve me like this every day, alright?" She didn’t respond; she was already exhausted, sleeping soundly in his arms.

In the moonlight, she was curled up completely in his embrace, clinging tightly to him like a koala refusing to budge, clearly determined not to let him see.

In his intense joy and relaxation, a small regret still pricked him: Ah, my wish is still unfulfilled. Oh well, there’s plenty of time. I refuse to believe I’ll never get to appreciate that captivating sight in my lifetime.

It was only after the steady sound of breathing beside her that Yan Xixi secretly opened her eyes. The burly man had fallen asleep.

She was incredibly pleased and giggled secretly. Trying to get one over on me? No way! You just wait and see, burly man. HMPH HMPH HMPH, unless you sit on that swing first and let me appreciate the view, who’d bother with you?

However, the thought of a brawny man sitting on a swing with bare legs... This... wasn’t that a bit too much, a bit too risqué?

PFFT! She burst out laughing in the darkness, thinking the scene would be absolutely cringeworthy and overly dramatic.

Suddenly, something else occurred to her: they hadn’t used any contraception for quite some time. In fact, since the end of last year, they had hardly taken any precautions at all. Just like that, more than half a year had passed. Why wasn’t there any news yet? A faint sense of unease began to creep in. She also remembered that her ’good friend’ was several days late this month. It looked like she needed to get a check-up as soon as possible. Didn’t the burly man say that if she didn’t have a baby, there would be no good food to eat? For the sake of all the exquisite dishes he had promised, was it worth having a baby soon???

「Early the next morning, she went to the hospital.」

To be on the safe side, she took an HCG blood test. While waiting for the results, she thought of Xu Xiaoya. Since she was idle anyway, she decided to go visit her.

After Xu Xiaoya paid the fees, she had her father transferred to the best Class A Grade 3 hospital in the province. The Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of this general hospital was also renowned and located adjacent to the main hospital building.

Yan Xixi walked the few hundred meters.

Mr. Xu had only been rescued from the ICU the previous day. He didn’t open his eyes until dusk, and his breathing was still as faint as a thread. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look around, suddenly very frightened, "Where’s my son? Has he come? And my two grandchildren?"

Mrs. Xu was afraid to agitate him and didn’t dare tell him the truth, stuttering, "They... haven’t come... they haven’t arrived yet..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Mr. Xu was furious. "Why didn’t you call them? Call them now... I want to see my two grandsons..."

"I...I’ve already called..."

"But why haven’t they come?"

Mrs. Xu hurriedly said, "I’ll call again... I’ll call them now..."
