Ni Sitian glanced at Xu Tingchuan, winked, and smiled.

They all knew perfectly well that the phone call last night was most likely made by Pei Yang.

It seems yesterday's heroic rescue had some effect; otherwise, Xu Jiayue could have simply hung up if she didn't want to answer. Looking at her drowsy face now, that phone call last night must have lasted quite a while.

Xu Tingchuan has always taken a go-with-the-flow attitude. Although he felt that his friend was not quite suitable for Jiayue, he didn't mind if their relationship was good and things were going well.

Xu Jiayue sensed that everyone's gazes were somewhat meaningful, so she buried her head in eating breakfast. After finishing breakfast, she was about to play with Tuantuan when she saw Tuantuan plucking the white hairs at Xu Haicheng's temples. She laughed and said, "Tuantuan is so filial. She even knows to pluck the white hairs from her grandfather's temples."

Tuantuan looked somewhat dejected, her head drooping, because she hadn't managed to pluck one.

Xu Jiayue hugged Tuantuan, kissed his cheek, and said with a smile, "How about Auntie helps you pluck Grandpa's gray hairs?"

Ni Sitian's eyes lit up again. She felt like a thief, her heart pounding like a bucket of water.

Xu Jiayue tucked Tuantuan back into Ni Sitian's arms, walked behind Xu Haicheng's sofa, and said obediently with her head down, "Dad, I'm going to pluck your gray hairs, please bear with it."

Ni Sitian's heart was in her throat as she watched Xu Jiayue bend down and pull out Xu Haicheng's hair.

Xu Tingchuan was playing with Tuantuan in her arms. He looked up, about to speak to her, when he saw her looking at her sister and father with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tingchuan asked, holding Ni Sitian's hand.

Realizing she had been discovered, Ni Sitian quickly explained, "It's nothing, I just think it's wonderful to have a daughter."

Xu Tingchuan laughed, put his arm around Ni Sitian's waist, and said, "Are you implying that I should try for a second child?"

Xu Jiayue and Jin Rulan laughed as well, while Ni Sitian was embarrassed and ashamed; that was not what she meant at all.

Besides, it was already difficult for her to conceive Tuantuan, and she didn't know if she could conceive a second child. Moreover, she had a cesarean section and suffered postpartum hemorrhage, so she probably can't get pregnant again for two years, otherwise it will be bad for her health.

"How about we give Tuantuan a younger brother or sister the year after next? Tuantuan, what do you think?" Xu Tingchuan held Tuantuan's little hand and shook it.

Tuantuan didn't seem to understand, but she still nodded in agreement.

Ni Sitian smiled immediately. She thought Tuantuan was really too clever and would definitely be very smart when she grew up.

Xu Jiayue pulled out all the hair and put it in her palm. Ni Sitian seized the opportunity, handed Tuantuan to Xu Tingchuan, and got up to walk to Jiayue's side.

Without thinking much, Jia Yue threw the hair into Ni Sitian's hand, because Ni Sitian's actions were so natural, as if she was just throwing it for her.

Ni Sitian looked at the seven or eight strands of hair in her palm, feeling excited. She hadn't expected to get them so easily. She held them in her palm and pretended to bend down to flick them into the trash can.

Then, pretending to go to the restroom, she quickly walked towards it. To avoid damaging her hair follicles, she took some tissues and wrapped them inside.

My heart is pounding with excitement; I can go get tested right away.

She hid her hair and walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

"Mommy..." Little Tuantuan, holding onto the sofa, tried to walk towards her with her short legs.

Ni Sitian rushed over in a few steps, squatted down, and hugged him tightly.
