"You're going to punish Ruan Tang?"

"Shouldn't she be disciplined?" Qiao Wanwan retorted. "I might be able to tolerate other things to some extent, but she actually dared to make a move on Xiao Jiu. The child is my bottom line, and no one can cross it, not even you, let alone her!"

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm not in the mood to think about that right now. I'll have Jiang Dong lock her up first. I hope she won't have a chance to cause trouble again while I'm recovering from childbirth."

Zhan Jingting agreed without much hesitation, "Alright."

"I want to see the child."

"You can look after the children, but you must eat something first, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

"Um."

Qiao Wanwan ate some light liquid food and soon saw the sleeping child.

"Wow, he's so cute!"

Although she already has two children, she doesn't remember how she gave birth to them.

Only this child made her truly understand the difficulty of childbirth.

It took her a tremendous amount of effort to give birth to him.

The baby didn't cry when it was born; it was already suffocating. Fortunately, the master had made preparations in advance.

The moment her child was saved and let out a cry, she burst into tears of joy and collapsed from exhaustion.

From then on, she would protect her three children with her life, ensuring they grew up safely and healthily!

......

Qiao Wanwan stayed in the hospital for two days before being discharged and returning to Wutong Bay.

She recovered well and was able to rest at home to begin her postpartum confinement.

Zheng Ma brought in the food, saying, "Madam, it's time to eat."

Qiao Wanwan looked helpless. "Now all I do every day is sleep and eat. There's nothing else to do."

Zheng's mother chuckled, "You have to take good care of yourself during your postpartum period. Once you're fully recovered, you can do whatever you want."

"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan sat up. "Have Jingting and the others eaten?"

"I've already eaten. Master Zhan is busy right now, but he'll come up to keep you company in a bit."

Qiao Wanwan sipped her soup. "He hasn't regained his memory yet, what could possibly happen to him?"

Aunt Zheng reported, "The bodyguard watching over Ruan Tang said that Ruan Tang has been making a scene and demanding to see Master Zhan."

Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Is Jingting going?"

"I don't know. When I came up, the bodyguard was reporting. I don't know if Master Zhan has agreed."

"Um."

Qiao Wanwan had only taken a few sips when Zhan Jingting arrived, took the bowl from her hand, and fed her the soup.

During the two days at the hospital, Zhan Jingting stayed by Qiao Wanwan's side without leaving her side, feeding her every bite of food by hand.

The two of them seemed to tacitly agree that he was taking care of her personally.

After Qiao Wanwan was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Zhan Jingting naturally followed her back and stayed at home. However, he slept in Xiao Jiu's room at night, while Zheng Ma stayed in the master bedroom with Qiao Wanwan.

Qiao Wanwan looked at the man who was focused on feeding her soup and asked, "I heard Ruan Tang wants to see you, why aren't you going?"

“There’s nothing worth going there,” Zhan Jingting said calmly. “I can see that she has changed a lot since she was a child. At the very least, I didn’t expect her to want to use a child for experiments, since the consequences are unpredictable.”

"You know that much," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "Not to mention that her antics caused us to argue, which indirectly led to my premature birth. If something had really happened to Lao San that day, she wouldn't be alive today."

“So there’s nothing to see her about,” Zhan Jingting said. “I can already imagine her crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. I hate those kinds of things the most.”

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She changed the subject, "Before, because we couldn't find Xiao Jiu, we didn't have the heart to give Eleven a proper name. Now that Xiao Jiu is back and the third child has been born safely, we should give them proper names. We can't keep calling them by their nicknames."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Qiao Wanwan smiled brightly, "However, I would prefer to decide on their names after you regain your memories."

The man readily agreed, saying, "I'll listen to you. I'll think about it first, and we can decide later once I regain my memory."

"Mommy!" Eleven and Little Nine came in. "My little brother woke up and pooped! It stinks so bad, I hate him..."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Babies can't use the toilet, so they can only poop on themselves. This was the case when the baby was eleven years old."

"Impossible!" Eleven couldn't accept this. "Eleven is very clean, she would never poop on herself."

"......"

"Mommy won't lie to you. All babies are the same. We all grow up little by little. When your little brother grows up to be as big as you, he will naturally be able to go to the bathroom by himself."

Eleven reluctantly replied, "Alright then, I'll not mind him for now."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and hugged them, "My darlings are so cute!"

The nanny brought the third child, who had just had a bath, over, and the whole family enjoyed a happy time together.

Around nine o'clock, Zheng Ma knocked on the door and said, "Master Zhan, we have news from Ruan Tang that he committed suicide by cutting his wrists."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"If I'm not mistaken, he didn't die, did he?"

“Of course,” said Zheng Ma. “She bled a little, and the bodyguard called a doctor, but she refused to be bandaged and insisted on seeing Master Zhan.”

Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "Jingting, you'd better hurry up and go, or your cousin's wound will probably heal by the time you get there."

Zhan Jingting: "......"

"I told you, there's no need to see her."

"If I remember correctly, you haven't had a proper talk with her since she confessed her feelings for you, have you? Go see her, clear things up, and make a clean break."
