Ni Sitian saw Ni Tianzhen again a week later.

She brought Tuantuan and a fruit basket to visit her.

This was her second time here, so it didn't feel unfamiliar to her.

"Auntie." Although Tuantuan wasn't talkative, she was still very polite to her elders.

"Good boy, Tuantuan." Ni Tianzhen held the little dumpling and sat him on her lap, peeling an orange for him to eat.

"Be careful, he's gained quite a bit of weight now." Ni Sitian knew about Ni Tianzhen's situation, so she was extra careful and had told Tuantuan not to touch her aunt's belly when she came.

"He's gained some weight and is much taller than he was around Chinese New Year." Ni Tianzhen especially loves her little nephew; he's both cute and well-behaved.

The two chatted about pregnancy, and then Ni Sitian asked Tuantuan to go to the balcony to look at the flowers.

Tuantuan knew his mother was trying to get rid of him, so he wisely took his short legs and went to the balcony.

"Sister, has that woman come looking for us again?" Ni Sitian asked Ni Tianzhen with concern after her son left. She had only learned about the situation yesterday and was very worried that her cousin's pregnancy might be affected by the disturbance.

“She came once last week, but I don’t know what A-Jie said to her, because she hasn’t come back. Now we’re just waiting for the court hearing next Tuesday.” Ni Tianzhen patted Ni Sitian’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, she won’t bother me. I’m just focusing on my pregnancy and not thinking about anything else.”

When Ni Sitian heard Ni Tianzhen change how she addressed Liang Xiujie, a smile crept onto her lips. It seemed they were doing well now; that's what being a couple should be like.

"That's good. Just leave all these problems to your brother-in-law. He can handle them all. The most important thing for you now is to rest and recover. Once you're well, he can focus on dealing with the problems with more peace of mind." Ni Sitian was happy to see that her cousin's complexion was rosier than the other day.

Life should be like this, getting better and better, happier and happier.

"Yes, I understand." Ni Tianzhen is now truly relieved because her husband told her a couple of days ago that after communicating with the lawyer, Xiao Le's case is almost certainly going to be won.

Once this matter is settled, she really won't have anything to worry about anymore.

Ni Sitian chatted with Ni Tianzhen about everyday things for a while, then took her leave with Tuantuan.

"Mom, when is Auntie going to give me a little brother or sister?" Tuantuan asked Ni Sitian, looking up as he got into the car. He had seen photos of his mother when she was pregnant; her belly was so big, but he couldn't tell at all that his aunt was pregnant.

"It won't be until at least January next year," Ni Sitian said, turning to look at her son. "Do you want to see your younger brother and sister sooner?"

Ni Tianzhen and she are cousins, so the baby in Ni Tianzhen's belly is definitely Tuantuan's cousin, and they are related by blood.

"Mmm." Tuantuan nodded, then asked, "When will Mom give me a younger brother or sister?"

Ni Sitian was taken aback. Tuantuan had previously minded her having a second child, but after Xu Tingchuan talked to him, he started urging her to have a younger brother or sister.

However, no matter how hard she and Xu Tingchuan tried, it didn't work out, and she eventually gave up on the idea.

"This matter should be left to nature," Ni Sitian said, not knowing how to explain it to her son, so she simply brushed it off with these words.

Tuantuan frowned seriously, thought for a while, and came to a conclusion: "It must be because Dad is useless."

Ni Sitian almost choked. What do you mean by useless? If Xu Tingchuan heard this, he would be furious. She quickly said to her son, "Don't say such things, especially in front of your father."

Tuantuan nodded solemnly. He was still very filial and wouldn't point out his father's shortcomings.
