"What about the na? Have you thought of one, sister?" Chen Xinyu asked.
"Let your brother-in-law decide. We'll go with whatever he picks."
"So nice, I'm about to have a little nephew."
With a smile on her lips, Chen Xinyu said, "I'm going to be an aunt."
But after she said it, she realized it wasn't just that. Given her relationship with her sister, of course, the nephew should call her aunt, but if you consider her relationship with her brother-in-law, it wouldn't be wrong if the baby called her 'little mom', right?
Ahhhh, Chen Xinyu, what are you even thinking... Chen Xinyu couldn't believe she had such a weird thought and hurriedly shook her head.
"Xinyu, what's up?"
Chen Na noticed her sister's expression was a bit odd.
"Nothing, just suddenly thought of a problem the teacher discussed in class that I couldn't solve."
"You're working too hard. Just relax when you're ho and don't think too much."
"Yeah, yeah."
Chen Xinyu felt a sense of relief. Unconsciously, she had beco quite adept at lying.
Since Shen Yuan visited Nanzhong University last ti, she was no longer troubled by suitors, as almost everyone in the school knew she had an incredibly rich and handso boyfriend.
Even the counselor's attitude towards her changed, encouraging her to apply for scholarships.
Scholarships offer not only money but also honor, but Chen Xinyu felt she didn't need it and politely declined, saying it could go to other students.
"Besides academics, have you encountered any other troubles at school recently?" Chen Na asked.
Her sister was quite introverted and shy around strangers, not good at expressing herself, so Chen Na worried about her handling relationships with classmates and teachers.
"No, none."
There were so before, but not anymore... Chen Xinyu thought it best not to tell about her brother-in-law's visit to school. Although their relationship was already clear, she still feared her sister would get jealous.
Chen Na affectionately ruffled Chen Xinyu's hair, "You little liar, why didn't you tell about your brother-in-law going to your school?"
"Ah, sis, you knew?"
Chen Xinyu's face flushed red all of a sudden.
"I occasionally follow news and forum updates from your school."
"Sis, I'm sorry..."
Chen Xinyu hung her head in sha.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I just want to tell you that no matter what happens with the three of us, we'll always be sisters. So if anything cos up, you can still co to ."
As things progressed, Chen Na's uneasiness wasn't as strong as before. After all, this was the sister she had watched grow up since childhood.
Chen Xinyu felt even guiltier, "Sister, it was my fault."
Chen Na smiled warmly, "Alright, you must really miss him. Go see him."
Chen Xinyu blinked her beautiful eyes, "Can I?"
"Why not?"
"What about you?"
"In my current condition, I won't go."
Chen Na glanced at her big belly, realizing it was inconvenient to move around, and she didn't want to spoil Shen Yuan's mood.
With her sister's heartfelt words, Chen Xinyu suddenly felt guilty for her previous secret visit to her brother-in-law's place. This ti, was she going to go there alone again?
The answer was no.
Chen Xinyu felt it would be unfair to her sister, and she was sure her sister missed her brother-in-law too. So she went back to her room and called Shen Yuan.
"Hello, Xinyu, are you missing your brother-in-law?"
"I... I am, brother-in-law."
Hearing Shen Yuan's voice made Chen Xinyu stutter and a bit shy. After a pause, she cautiously asked, "Are you busy today, brother-in-law? Can you co to see us? Sister misses you too."
"Today, huh."
On the other end, Shen Yuan hesitated. Besides Nana being pregnant, Teacher Lih was also expecting.
In the early stages of pregnancy, won generally feel insecure, so Shen Yuan planned to visit her. However, since he hadn't set a ti with Teacher Lih yet, he figured it wouldn't be a problem to go tomorrow.
Speaking of which, it had been a while since he visited Nana. She wasn't little Nana anymore, but big Nana—because not only had her belly grown, but she had also undergone a second puberty.
"I can do that. I'll wrap up what I'm doing and co over later."
"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, we'll be waiting for you."
Chen Xinyu smiled subtly as she hung up the phone, feeling content.
....
anwhile, on the other side, Shen Yuan hung up and thought about how he hadn't told his parents about Teacher Lih's pregnancy yet.
"They'll find out sooner or later. Might as well give them a call and see if Ms. Li and Teacher Lih can et up."
With that thought, Shen Yuan called Li Hongjuan.
"Hello, Mom, what are you busy with?"
"Just got up from a nap and am mopping the floor. What did you do this ti?"
Li Hongjuan was always nervous to receive her son's calls, as they rarely brought good news.
"Mom, listen to you—what could I possibly do? I called to tell you so good news."
"Good news?"
Li Hongjuan's voice instantly beca cautious. She didn't believe there could be any good news, considering her son not causing trouble was good enough already.
"You're going to be a grandma again."
"Minhui... is pregnant?"
Li Hongjuan asked dumbfounded, followed by an exasperated rebuke, "Oh my gosh, Nana hasn't even given birth yet, and now you've gotten another girl pregnant. Why did I have such a rotten kid like you?!"
"When did this happen? Do her parents know? Oh, it's pointless to ask you; I'll go check on her myself."
Li Hongjuan was both angry and delighted; she had long anticipated this day, so she was ntally prepared. After all, her son had been troubleso whether he had money or not.
