She said, "I heard from A-Zhao that you've finally had your daughter, your wish has come true."

Wade smiled and said, "You should have one as soon as possible. Trust me, a child will bring you immense joy."

Chen Rou still holds onto the same mindset as in her previous life. She said, "Raising children is very hard work and takes up a lot of energy."

Wade laughed and said, "That's true for the poor, but of course it's not true for you and Mr. Nie."

Chen Rou had never changed her mindset, but at this moment she suddenly realized why rich people like to have more children. For them, raising and educating children takes up very little time, but a child means a property, so of course they like to have more.

At this point in the conversation, Chen Rou realized she didn't think she would get pregnant, so she stopped the topic.

On her way home, she was thinking about how to call Chen Ke and talk to him so that he would allow her to join.

She was genuinely afraid that Gui Touchang would slip away again if she didn't go, but if she did go, Chen Ke had to agree.

By the way, Chen Ke's period was actually quite late. She parked the car, went into the elevator, and saw the Wednesday carpet inside. Suddenly, she realized that she hadn't had her period in a long time.

Gently stroking her belly, she thought to herself that she must go upstairs and check the calendar to see the marks she had made.

But as soon as she reached the third floor and opened the elevator door, she saw Nie Jiajun pulling Nie Jiayu along, the two of them standing furtively on the stairs, looking down and laughing, not knowing what they were up to.

She hadn't seen Nie Jiajun in a long time, and asked with a smile, "Jiajun's back?"

Nie Jiajun turned around and, without saying a word, first shushed her and then beckoned her: "Xi Niang, come here quickly!"

Just then, Chen Rou heard a woman's soft laughter from downstairs.

She then peeked over and asked, "What are you two looking at?"

Nie Jiayu pursed his lips, about to say something, when Nie Jiajun covered his mouth and said, "See for yourself."

...

It is said that Nie Rong went to the mainland in May, which is a month and a half ago.

While he was in mainland China, he had a romantic encounter, but it ultimately fizzled out.

Just last week, Nie Zhao accidentally discovered that his father was learning tea ceremony from a master. Of course, he never would have imagined that his father's tea ceremony learning would be related to his romantic encounter in mainland China.

But the fact is, there is a connection between the two.

Regardless of who contacted whom first, Chen Rou followed the Nie brothers' gaze and discovered that Ms. Qin Qianqian, who was supposed to be selling tea on the mainland, was sitting with Nie Rong in the small living room on the second floor.

There is no shortage of beautiful girls in mainland China, and most of the well-known female celebrities in Hong Kong in recent years are from the mainland. Ms. Qin Qianqian is certainly very beautiful, with a pair of full, almond-shaped eyes, a smooth forehead, fair skin, and a great figure. Her Cantonese is a little mediocre, but it doesn't matter much.

Chen Rou looked at them for a moment, then turned back to the Nie brothers: "What's going on with you two?"

Nie Jiayu and Nie Jiajun exchanged a glance, too embarrassed to explain to Xi Niang in detail, and simply said, "It's nothing."

Chen Rou retorted, "Since there's nothing wrong, and it's not like we haven't had guests before, if you two want to see, you can go downstairs openly to see. Why hide here and watch secretly?"

Nie Jiajun touched his ear, clicked his tongue, and said, "That woman... she's weird."

Nie Jiayu went straight to the point: "She resembles Madam Mei, but not quite."

Chen Rou then asked, "Did the old man introduce her to you two? Did he say she was a relative of someone?"

The two boys shook their heads. Nie Jiajun said, "We haven't gone downstairs yet. We've been watching from here."

Chen Rou understood: "Has that young lady been here for a long time?"

In places like Hong Kong, unless it's a long-time acquaintance or there's a specific reason for visiting, people don't stay for very long. But Nie Jiayu said, "She arrived at 2 PM, and it's already 5 PM, but she shows no sign of leaving."

So after Miss Qin Qianqian met Nie Rong once in mainland China, she suddenly came to Hong Kong. It was her first time visiting him, and she stayed for almost four hours, chatting enthusiastically with him.

Nie Jiajun suddenly said, "I guess she'll stay for dinner, right?"

Nie Jiayu rubbed his hands: "That's great. I'll ask her where she came from later. It's really strange. Although her features don't look much like Madam Mei's, I feel that she looks very much like Madam Mei."

Nie Jiajun blurted out, "Surely she's not Madam Mei's long-lost sister?"

Nie Jiayu reminded him, "Brother, Madam Mei is over fifty years old. How could she have such young sisters?"

Hearing this, Chen Rou was about to go back to her room, but just then, Nie Rong asked the maid, "Qin Ma, call and ask when Third Aunt is coming home."

Turning back, he smiled and said to Miss Qin Qianqian, "The investment project for the tea garden isn't very big. My husband, Zhao, is quite busy and can't help you much, so I won't ask him. I'll ask my Miss Chen for you; she can take care of it."

Qin Qianqian, who had been sitting upright on the sofa, stood up upon hearing this: "Thank you so much, Mr. Nie."

Nie Rong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I am an elder, you can call me Grandpa, I am honored, so please don't call me President Nie."

Qin Qianqian suddenly laughed: "What? You're so young, I'd be embarrassed to call you uncle."

At home, his son and daughter-in-law treat him like he doesn't exist, and his grandson is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees him. The only people Nie Rong can talk to now are Uncle Ming and the servants, and the only one he can tease is his old dog, Zhui Feng.
