After Ni Sitian finished speaking, she received no response from Shen Muzhi for a long time, and could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

In terms of persistence, probably no one can compare to Shen Muzhi. Back then, he persisted with such hopelessness for ten years, and now a new round is beginning.

Ni Sitian was playing with Tuantuan's soft little hands when her phone rang. It was Xu Tingchuan calling, and she answered it immediately.

Xu Tingchuan thought she was still at the Xiang family home and said he would come to pick her up.

She glanced up at Shen Muzhi, then lowered her voice and said, "I ran into Muzhi, and he said he was going the same way and would give me a ride."

"Alright then, you can go to Lan Club first." Xu Tingchuan wasn't surprised that they would run into each other. Ever since Xiang Zhilan left, Shen Muzhi had been going to the Xiang family often, wanting to take care of the two elders in Xiang Zhilan's place, but the two elders obviously didn't appreciate it.

"Okay, see you in a bit." Ni Sitian smiled and hung up the phone.

It's true that she politely declined what her mother said earlier. They were a group of friends who had arranged to have dinner at Lan Club today, including Pei Yang, Gu Chen, and a few others. So it's not wrong for Shen Muzhi to go there on the way.

She hadn't officially met everyone since she came back, so Xu Tingchuan took the initiative to suggest this get-together, bringing Tuantuan along. Fu Wenuan would also bring her baby.

The last time I saw Fu Wennuan's baby was at her one-month celebration. I wonder what she looks like now. Gu Jinxuan is five months older than Tuantuan, so he's already a year and a half old. He should be at a very interesting age.

Just as I was waiting, the car stopped.

Ni Sitian carried Tuantuan out of the car, and Shen Muzhi took the stroller out of the trunk and unfolded it.

She put Tuantuan inside and pushed her into the hall.

Xu Jiayue and Pei Yang arrived early, probably not expecting anyone else to be there so early. When Ni Sitian went in, she saw the two of them playfully fighting, their actions somewhat intimate.

Ni Sitian had already heard from Jia Yue that she and Pei Yang were trying to date, and it seemed to be going quite smoothly. Pei Yang really knew how to handle things. It had only been four days, and if things continued like this, Jia Yue wouldn't be far from being taken advantage of.

"Little Tuantuan, I missed you so much, come give me a kiss." Xu Jiayue immediately pushed Pei Yang away, rushed to the crib, picked Tuantuan up from inside, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Tuan Tuan remained calm, as if she were a very quiet child except when she was with Ni Sitian.

Xu Jiayue's enthusiasm for Tuantuan remained undiminished. She carried him to the sofa, took out an educational toy from her bag, and handed it to Tuantuan to play with.

Ni Sitian was helpless. Ever since Xu Jiayue discovered that Tuantuan was different from other children in terms of intelligence, she has been buying toys that are educational for children over three years old.

"What's this?" She walked over and saw a large bag next to the sofa.

"These are building blocks for Xuanxuan. I originally wanted to buy a set for Tuantuan too, but I was worried he might swallow them." Xu Jiayue finished speaking to Ni Sitian, then hugged Tuantuan and asked, "Tuantuan, do you like building blocks?"

Tuantuan clearly didn't understand what building blocks were, and looked at Ni Sitian as if she were asking for knowledge.

Ni Sitian squatted down, about to explain to Tuantuan, when the door opened. Gu Chen held Gu Jinxuan's hand in one hand and Fu Wenwen's hand in the other. Fu Wenwen was six months pregnant again.

Ni Sitian picked up Tuantuan and went over to greet her.

Gu Chen and Fu Nuannuan's son, Gu Jinxuan, is already quite mature for his age. He is well-mannered and politely greets his uncle and aunt.
