When Tang Yue received the items, she was speechless. Lian He and Lian Qingyang truly were father and son; the things they gave were the sa, if not jewelry, then gold. Ever since she got to know Lian Qingyang, she had no idea how much gold jewelry she had received, piling it in her jewelry box, almost forming a small mountain.
She didn’t know what Lian He and his son were thinking. If she hadn’t firmly refused to accept the house keys, their keys would probably have piled into a small hill by now.
"Mom, since he’s the children’s grandfather, just accept it on behalf of the children." Tang Yue, sitting on the bed, listened to the bursts of cheerful laughter coming from outside, and her heart soared. In this life, being pampered by everyone, how blissful she felt!
Lian He was her biological father. Although Tang Yue had never called him ’Dad,’ she knew what Lian He had done over the years. In the future, when the kids grow up, teaching them to call him Grandpa would be appropriate.
After seeing the children, Lian Tong ca inside to find Tang Yue. Seeing Tang Yue’s rosy cheeks and the happiness shining in her eyes, she was relieved and said, "Xiao Yue, I really envy you."
"Aunt, you’re about to beco a mom yourself; what’s there to envy?"
"Everyone knows how deeply Uncle loves Aunt; it’s sothing to envy indeed."
Tang Yue winked at Lian Tong.
Lian Tong’s face broke into a smile as she said, "That’s true. The doctor said the baby is healthy, though there’s only one."
Tang Yue: "..."
"One is fine. After the child is older, pay a fine, and you can have a second one." Lian Tong was eager to have a boy and a girl. With this one still unborn, she was already planning for a second child regardless of the first child’s gender.
"Aunt." Tang Yue said, looking puzzled, "Maybe after Aunt has this one, her mind might change."
The pains of childbirth aren’t sothing easily described in a few words.
"Don’t worry, your aunt has endured every hardship." Lian Tong said nonchalantly, smiling gently, "Your aunt also wants two kids so that they have company."
"By the way, Aunt, how is your morning sickness going?" Tang Yue changed the topic; it was better not to discuss matters far in the future. Besides, even if Aunt wanted two, she initially only wanted two before knowing she was having twins.
Everyone’s experience is different. Bai Qing was nauseated beyond belief, while she had no morning sickness and enjoyed her als thoroughly.
"It’s okay. I feel nauseated every morning but get hungry in the afternoon." When Lian Tong talked about pregnancy, she couldn’t help but seek advice from Tang Yue. The two chatted endlessly.

"Xiao Yue, we’re going to be neighbors from now on." Bai Qing, having just moved into her new ho, couldn’t wait to have Tang Yue over.
Unfortunately, Tang Yue was still in postpartum confinent and couldn’t even leave the room.
Luckily, when the Siheyuan was built, Tang Yue had the bathroom placed within the master bedroom; otherwise, it would have been inconvenient to use the toilet.
"That’s great, but when did you buy a house?" Tang Yue, perplexed, looked at Bai Qing. Houses around here were either sold out long ago or not for sale. How did Bai Qing manage to buy one?
Bai Qing said mysteriously, "Money makes the world go round!"
She wanted to live nearby, so An Chong put extra effort into acquiring a house in the vicinity, as they only wanted to move closer to Tang Yue.
"I wonder if there are any more houses for sale." Tang Yue thought aloud, feeling an urge to buy a house. Her studio was initially set up near Jinghua University because she lived nearby.
But now that she’s married with kids, having the studio near Jinghua University was inconvenient.
With two kids at ho, even if she didn’t need to take care of them full-ti, Tang Yue thought having the studio next door, with work on one side and ho on the other, would be wonderful as she could also spend ti with the kids.
However, her current neighbor was Qin Anyu, so if things didn’t work out in this direction, there was always the other side.
Having this idea, Tang Yue discussed it with Si Yu that evening. Si Yu was all for it, and so he started to inquire about the neighbors, also asking Mo Xiaolin to check around for news.
"Alright, but Si Yu, buying or selling a house is the couple’s decision." Mo Xiaolin reminded that it would be great to acquire the neighboring place, but a house isn’t like a cabbage.
"Mom, do you think your son is unreasonable?" Si Yu looked at Mo Xiaolin helplessly. He only asked her to gather so news, but to Mo Xiaolin, he seed like he was forcing a sale.
Mo Xiaolin glared at him silently.
"By the way, Mom, I have sothing to tell you." Si Yu said seriously.
Mo Xiaolin wondered what it was, becoming serious as she looked at Si Yu.
Si Yu said, "Mom, don’t let Xiao Bai or Xiao Jin near Chenchen anymore."
"Why?" Mo Xiaolin blurted out in surprise.
She thought Si Yu had another task and was unsure how to explain it to Tang Yue. To her surprise, it was about this.
Xiao Jin, Qin Anyu and Chu Hong’s son, often played at their house, and Mo Xiaolin had seen him grow up.
Xiao Bai is Bai Qing’s son. All Mo Xiaolin knew was that he was Tang Yue’s good friend’s son, a very well-behaved and quiet little boy.
Si Yu was too embarrassed to explain and just asked Mo Xiaolin to do as he said.
The next day, Mo Xiaolin couldn’t help but ask Tang Yue if there was conflict, prompting Tang Yue to burst into laughter as she recounted how both Qin Anyu and Bai Qing wanted Chenchen as their daughter-in-law. She also ntioned how Xiao Bai had kissed Chenchen on the cheek.
Mo Xiaolin’s mouth twitched. She had known early on that her son doted on his daughter. Even when Zaozao and Chenchen cried together, Si Yu only comforted Chenchen. According to him, sons need to be toughened up, daughters cherished.
But Mo Xiaolin never expected that when the granddaughter was just over half a month old, Si Yu would be so vigilant about Xiao Bai and Xiao Jin, like they were wolves. After all, Xiao Bai and Xiao Jin were just toddlers; what could they understand?
Toddlers like affection because Chenchen was adorable.
Si Yu, just for this reason, wouldn’t let Xiao Bai and Xiao Jin near Chenchen—it was just...
Mo Xiaolin laughed too, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s laughter spread far and wide.
Zhang Hualian returned from grocery shopping, hearing about it in amazent. Upon telling Si Yu’s story, Zhang Hualian also laughed, recounting how Tang Zhengde was the sa back when Xiao Yue was little, not allowing any boys near Tang Yue.
