Zizai happily slipped the bracelet onto his little hand. His chubby little hand looked especially good with the bracelet.

Then, when he heard his mother complaining about his father, he poked Yan Shao's belly and chimed in, "Daddy, you're such an idiot! Aren't you a dragon?"

Yan Shao rarely smiled and admitted, "Yes, Daddy is an idiot!"

As she spoke, she pinched her son's nose and then leaned over to kiss Zhu Qianying's forehead.

"It's not too late to understand now. Anyway, I know you really, really want to trap me, and that's enough!"

Zhu Qianying ignored him, reached out and took the only remaining bracelet from the box, put it on her wrist, stared at the bracelet on her wrist, and said casually.

"Besides what you mentioned, there's something else..." She paused, raised her eyes, and her burning gaze fell on his face, "I hope you can be like the bracelet you're wearing on your wrist, protecting me and Zizai, forever and ever..."

In Yan Shao's mind, an image flashed of three bracelets of different sizes being chained together one after another. He quickly nodded, "Of course, not just you and Zizai, but also our little baby!"

As Yan Shao spoke, his gaze gently fell on her flat stomach.

No wonder, no matter how he tried to coax or flirt with her last night, she kept making excuses and refusing to give in. It turns out it was because of the baby in her belly.

Yan Shao's gaze softened and deepened with affection. He reached out and gently embraced Zhu Qianying and her son.

Today is his 34th birthday. Over the years, he has had many lively birthdays, but this is the first time that he has had a birthday as touching and happy as today.

"Thank you, my darlings!"

He murmured softly and kissed his wife and son a few more times on the cheek.

This dinner was naturally very enjoyable.

After dinner, Uncle Hai brought out the birthday cake. Zizai helped Yan Shao blow out the candles, and with a flick of his little hand, a dollop of cream was smeared on Yan Shao's handsome face.

Uncle Hai, who was still standing to the side, was slightly stunned, then hurriedly went to find a wet towel and handed it to Young Master Yan.

Because he knew that no one had ever dared to smear cream on the young master's face before.

Everyone knows that Young Master Yan is a germaphobe, so who would be so fearless as to walk into the line of fire?

Unexpectedly, Yan Shao not only didn't take the wet towel from Uncle Hai's hand, but instead completely ignored the cream smeared on his face, reached for the cake, picked up a dollop, put it in his mouth, made two "smack" sounds, and then looked at Zizai with a smile.

"Son, did you really make this cake?"

Zizai nodded with a grin, "Of course, my grandma and I made it together!"

Young Master Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Mmm, it tastes excellent!"

As he spoke, he picked up another dollop. Uncle Hai was stunned by the young master's unusual behavior, thinking that he would stuff the cream into his mouth again like before. But then he saw him turn his hand and "whoosh" smear it all over the young master's face.

Unsurprisingly, the father and son ended up having a cream cake battle.

Fortunately, Uncle Hai was quick-witted and, while the father and son were having fun, he quickly cut off a small half of the cake, so that everyone could eat Yan Shao's birthday cake.

Zhu Qianying suddenly became a key protected individual and was isolated far away early on to avoid being bumped into by Yan Shao and Zizai, the father and son who were having too much fun.

"Ying'er, do you know when your due date is?"

Madam Yan finally found an opportunity to sit with Zhu Qianying and couldn't help but inquire about her grandson.

"Mid-February, around the time of the Spring Festival."

A few days ago, Zhu Qianying went to the hospital alone for a check-up. Because she was afraid of the news leaking out, she specifically asked her driver, Brother Wang, to keep it a secret.

Of course, Brother Wang only knew that the young mistress went to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, but he did not know that she went to take a pregnancy test.

That's why Zhu Qianying was able to keep this secret until tonight.

Madam Yan smiled as she watched her son, who was having a great time playing with his grandson. "Xiao Han is so happy right now!"

"You talk as if you're unhappy yourself!" Yan Bo, sitting on her other side, couldn't help but tease her.

"Of course I'm happy! You know I'm only twenty, and I've been dreaming about feeding my grandson and changing his diapers for almost fifteen years now. It's finally about to come true, so how could I not be happy?"

When Zhu Qianying heard Old Madam Yan mention this, she leaned slightly against her shoulder and said, "Mom, I'm sorry!"

Madam Yan panicked a little and reached out to touch her forehead. "Oh dear, silly Ying'er, why are you apologizing to me? It was all that brat Xiao Han's own doing, not your fault! Of course, it was also my fault..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when Yan Bo covered her mouth with his hand.

"It's all in the past, why bring it up again? We can't change what's done, we can only try our best to make the most of our future happiness. Ying'er, right?"

Zhu Qianying nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Dad is right, we will cherish it!"

"Is everything alright at your studio?"

Knowing that Zhu Qianying was pregnant, Madam Yan naturally didn't want her daughter-in-law to work as hard as before, but she also knew that her daughter-in-law was a very career-oriented person.

Zhu Qianying paused for a moment. To be honest, she hadn't had time to think about that much.

"It shouldn't be a problem, right? My job is very flexible. When I was pregnant with my son, I worked until he was almost born."

Zhu Qianying never considered reducing her workload, because she still believed that things were no different now than when she was pregnant with Zizai.

But in fact, it's completely different!

Not to mention that Old Madam Yan wouldn't want her to work so hard, Young Master Yan, as her husband, certainly wouldn't let her work irregular hours like before.

Sure enough, when they were eating cake, Old Madam Yan mentioned this matter, and Young Master Yan immediately spoke up.

"Ying'er, you should stay home and rest well recently, and try not to go out unnecessarily."

Zhu Qianying looked puzzled. "Why?"

Yan Shao had an expression that said, "Ji Huan told me before that I need to be extra careful in the first few months of pregnancy and not to overwork myself. I'll keep an eye on the studio for you, so you just stay home."

Zhu Qianying now regretted it a little; why did she bring this up so soon?

"Ji Huan was referring to those pregnant women who weren't in good health. I'm as strong as an ox, and I can work as usual without any problems. Look, my son is perfectly fine, isn't he?"

Yan Shao patted Zizai's head, still refusing to give in, "Zizai had no choice back then, but you don't need to push yourself so hard now! Right?"

Zhu Qianying never expected that the same thing that happened to her younger sister would happen to her.
