Xu Lai's house was left to her by her parents. Even after they settled abroad, she didn't sell it and planned to go back home to live there.

Qiao Wanwan naturally wouldn't interfere with such matters, but it was inconvenient for a male bodyguard to accompany her home. Xu Lai herself also suggested that she didn't need protection, saying that she would install surveillance cameras at home and wouldn't open the door to strangers.

Xu Lai packed her things and went home.

Two days later, Qiao Wanwan went to check it out on her way. Although the community was old, the surveillance coverage was quite good, and Xu Lai had installed a video doorbell and surveillance cameras, so it was quite comprehensive.

"Madam Zhan, please have a seat," Xu Lai said. "And some water."

"Thank you." Qiao Wanwan sat down. "What are your plans for the future? It's easy to overthink when you're cooped up at home. At this stage, it's best to do something to distract yourself."

“I’m going back to work at the orphanage,” Xu Lai said. “Perhaps only by being with those children can I forget my pain.”

“That makes sense.” Qiao Wanwan looked at her. “If you need any help, just give me a call.”

"Thanks."

"You've thanked me so many times already, you really don't need to."

"I don't know how to thank you..." Xu Lai said, "Why don't you stay for lunch? My cooking skills are pretty good."

Before Qiao Wanwan could speak, the bodyguard beside her interjected, "I'm sorry, our lady never dine out."

Xu Lai quickly realized her mistake, "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "I'm the one who disappointed you. I should be the one who feels bad."

"How could that be? Please don't say that."

"By the way, you really liked this pastry when you were in Wutong Bay, so I brought you some. Eating sweets will make you feel better."

"Thank you, Madam Zhan."

After leaving Xu Lai's house, Qiao Wanwan went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

"Madam, the baby is doing very well." The doctor who was doing the prenatal checkup knew Qiao Wanwan well and chatted casually, "This is your third child. You must have wanted a daughter, right?"

"It would be best to have both a son and a daughter, of course, but that's not something I can decide." Qiao Wanwan touched her flat stomach. "Let fate decide."

"That's true, but we'll be able to tell the gender in a few months."

"My husband and I agreed not to reveal it in advance, but to save it for when we open the blind boxes."

"That's good," the doctor said. "Your body is perfectly normal; you just need to take folic acid supplements."

"Okay." Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something. "By the way, has my husband arranged for the hospital to send prenatal checkup equipment to Wutong Bay?"

"I haven't received any notification yet."

"He probably forgot. You can make arrangements so that he can stay home during his next maternity leave."

"yes."

Qiao Wanwan rarely goes out, so she invited Zhan Yin to have lunch at the restaurant where Wen Lixuan's friend had been last time.

"Wanwan, the environment here is nice, and the food is good too," Zhan Yin said while eating.

"You have the most discerning palate, so if you approve, it means the food really is good." Qiao Wanwan put some food on his plate. "When are you and Xiang Yang planning to go out?"

"It makes me so angry just thinking about it, Wanwan, you really need to teach your husband a lesson!"

"What's wrong?"

"I asked for annual leave to go out and relax, but my uncle not only refused, he also gave me more tasks!"

Qiao Wanwan took a sip of soup and asked, "Is the Imperial View Group very busy? Why did they give you extra tasks?"

"Who knows? I don't care. You have to talk to him and make him let me go."

"Jing Ting has his reasons for doing things, and it's not convenient for me to interfere."

Zhan Yin was on the verge of tears. "You're the president's wife, how can you not interfere? Wanwan, if you don't save me, I'm really doomed!"

"Don't give me that." Qiao Wanwan almost rolled her eyes. "Jing Ting may complain about you, but he actually values ​​you a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept you by his side and personally mentored you. You should be grateful."

Zhan Yin pursed his lips, "I know, you two are such a perfect couple, always taking his side..."

"Of course."

After lunch, Qiao Wanwan went home for a nap, while Zhan Yin went back to work at the Imperial View Group.

Qiao Wanwan has been quite distressed these days because of He Songling's matter. In order to get a good rest, she put her phone on silent and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

I was half asleep when I felt some movement beside me.

She opened her eyes and saw Zhan Jingting sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her.

Qiao Wanwan reached out and hugged him, then closed her eyes again. "Why are you back? Isn't it working hours now?"

"I called you but you didn't answer. I was worried, so I came back to check."

“I’ve put it on silent. You can call Aunt Zheng.”

“I called, and she said you were sleeping, but I still wanted to come back and check on you.”

"I'm fine." Qiao Wanwan smiled and touched the man's handsome face. "I'm very careful when I go out. Today I also asked the hospital to bring the prenatal checkup equipment to my home, so I won't have to go out anymore."

Qiao Wanwan leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Wanwan, I want to take you abroad to give birth."

Qiao Wanwan slowly opened her eyes. "Why did you suddenly decide to go abroad to give birth?"

“It’s not sudden. There are many things to do in the capital. As long as I’m here, I’ll be busy with work, and I won’t be able to spend much time with you. We’ll go abroad to prepare for childbirth. We’ll hand over the Imperial View Group to Zhan Yin and Jiang Dong. I’ll handle some important work remotely every day, and I can spend the rest of my time with you.”

“No wonder Zhan Yin complained to me today, saying that you didn’t let him take his annual leave and even increased his workload. So that’s what you were planning.” Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, “No wonder you didn’t tell the hospital. It turns out you were planning to take me abroad to give birth.”
