Si Yuling casually pulled Yan Jin into his slightly damp and shower gel-scented embrace.

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Si Yuling took a deep breath, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Yan Jin, and rubbed his face against her neck and ear, asking, "Did you miss me?"

"Yes, I really, really want to." Yan Jin hugged him and nodded.

Si Yuling lay down on the bed, pulled Yan Jin into his arms, and let her lie comfortably against him. He said softly, "I can stay with you for a week. When things are over, we'll go back together."

"Okay." Yan Jin nodded. She had almost finished dealing with her own affairs. If anything else came up, she could handle it via video call. Now she just needed to wrap things up.

“After the baby is born, I will take care of it with you. If we can’t manage, we’ll have our parents help. If that still doesn’t work, we’ll hire someone to take care of it. The baby isn’t just yours; your own health is the most important thing.”

"Um!"

"We'll get her her own bed then, so she can sleep by herself, and the two of us will sleep together."

"Um."

“If she gets annoyed with you, we can leave her with her grandparents. Then you can continue doing whatever you want, whether you want to take care of the child or go out to work. It’s up to you, and I’ll support you.”

"Um."

"If you're feeling unwell anywhere, don't..."

"Si Yuling." Yan Jin suddenly interrupted Si Yuling's rambling, looking up at him seriously. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"..." Si Yuling looked at her for a long time before stammering, "You can't just throw me to the winds because you have a daughter. I will still be the most important person to you, without exception!"

Yan Jin was both helpless and amused. "Are you jealous?"

"I'm worried. Now that you have family members connected to you by blood, will you no longer need me?"

Seeing the unease in Si Yuling's eyes, Yan Jin said helplessly, "Why are you so anxious? I like you, I like you a lot. When the children grow up, they will have their own lives, just like us. They will have their own partners, and the only ones who can support each other until they grow old are the two of us, right?"

"Hmm." Si Yuling was pleased to hear this, and a smile appeared on his face. "However, let's forget about son-in-law; it's too early."

"Hehe..." Yan Jin laughed. Sure enough, no father in the world can escape the law that the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more displeased he becomes.

Yan Jin suddenly looked at Si Yuling and asked, "How can you be sure it's a daughter? Couldn't it be a son?"

Si Yuling said matter-of-factly, "I like daughters, and I want a daughter as beautiful and lovely as you, so she must be a daughter."

Yan Jin chuckled. Sure enough, men all like pretty young girls; this rule applies to them too.

"Do you want a son or a daughter?" Si Yuling asked Yan Jin curiously.

"I love them all, whether they are boys or girls, they are all our children, and to me they are all the same."

"Mm." Si Yuling nodded.

The two chatted for a while longer, and gradually, Si Yuling couldn't stay awake any longer and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Yan Jin leaned against him, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The room was cozy and inviting, and the young couple loved to lean on each other.
