Ni Sitian wanted to wash up, so she reluctantly put Tuantuan down and handed her over to Xu Tingchuan.

She quickly finished washing up, changed her clothes, and then hugged Tuantuan into her arms again.

Xu Tingchuan reached out and gently stroked Tuantuan's nose. Ni Sitian immediately frowned, "Be careful not to flatten Tuantuan's nose."

"He's not made of tofu, you're being too cautious," Xu Tingchuan said with a helpless smile.

"Absolutely not," Ni Sitian said earnestly and righteously.

Xu Tingchuan had no choice but to surrender; it seemed he would have to serve Xiao Tuantuan from now on.

Ni Sitian was finally satisfied. She carried Xiao Tuantuan out of the room and was extra careful when going downstairs.

Xu Haicheng and Jin Rulan were already sitting in the restaurant having breakfast when Ni Sitian picked up Tuantuan and carried her over.

"Tuantuan, Grandma will hug you." Jin Rulan, who was usually aloof, even used a baby voice to coax Tuantuan.

When Ni Sitian saw the little boy in her arms opening his arms to Jin Rulan, she handed him over.

He sat in Jin Rulan's lap, a stark contrast to when he sat in Ni Sitian's lap. In Jin Rulan's lap, he resembled a refined and well-mannered young master, whereas in Ni Sitian's lap, he was clearly much more mischievous, constantly grabbing at Ni Sitian's chest.

"There's been a major snowstorm in the Qingning area. I have to go there this afternoon, and I don't know when I'll be back," Xu Haicheng said to Jin Rulan.

They went through so much together from January to March, and now their relationship has improved, and they've ended their separate living arrangements.

Ni Sitian heard all of this from Xu Tingchuan, and she was quite happy for them. At this age, they should be living a peaceful life like this.

However, when Ni Sitian heard Xu Haicheng say that, her heart tightened.

Xu Haicheng's official business trip might keep him in the disaster area for an unknown period of time, but she was unwilling to let it drag on like this and demanded a result before the end of the year.

"Then be careful," Jin Rulan advised.

Xu Haicheng smiled at his wife, finished his breakfast, and then held his grandson.

Ni Sitian's eyes lit up when she saw her son pulling on Xu Haicheng's hair.

Did Tuantuan know what was bothering her and try to help her?

It's just a pity that Tuantuan's grip strength is too weak; she can't pluck even a single hair from Xu Haicheng's short hair.

After her initial joy, Ni Sitian felt somewhat disappointed.

Xu Jiayue came downstairs, stretching and looking sleepy. "Good morning."

"It's still early, it's already nine o'clock. Everyone has finished breakfast, and you're the only one left." Xu Haicheng teased Tuantuan and said with a smile, "Little Tuantuan, your aunt is a lazy aunt, don't be like her."

"It's all because that guy called in the middle of the night..." Xu Jiayue yawned, walked to the dining table and sat down, looking like she hadn't woken up yet: "Uncle Wang, is there anything else to eat?"

Butler Wang immediately had it brought over. Xu Haicheng and Jin Rulan exchanged a glance, and Jin Rulan turned to Xu Jiayue and asked, "Who is that guy?"

"It's just..." Xu Jiayue stopped speaking, came to her senses, turned her head and saw that the whole family was staring at her, eagerly waiting for her to say the name. She grabbed a custard bun and stuffed it into her mouth, then mumbled, "It's just Qingqing."

"Isn't she eight months pregnant? Why is she calling you in the middle of the night?" Jin Rulan knew that this Qingqing was Xu Jiayue's best friend, who had married Ye Jinyan from the reconnaissance team. Her belly was so big that she couldn't attend the wedding yesterday.

Xu Jiayue swallowed. Her mother was still as sharp as ever. She vaguely brushed it off again: "Pregnancy phobia, I guess."
