Chu Yaqin slowly pushed open the door that originally belonged to Lin Yurou and walked out with light steps.
She slightly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the empty villa around her. A strange emotion welled up in her heart, and for a moment she was lost in thought.
The Lin family's strength is in no way inferior to that of the Chu family.
However, the family atmospheres of the two families were completely different.
Although there wasn't a single servant bustling about in the Lin family's villa, and the entire building appeared empty, there wasn't a trace of desolation or loneliness. Especially the butler, Zhang Rui, who seemed as warm and natural as a member of the family.
In contrast, despite Chu Tianxing's extraordinary efforts to balance family business and care for Chu Yaqin, and the presence of a family-like butler, Uncle Li, to manage everything, the luxurious villa still exuded an inescapable chill, making it difficult to feel any real warmth.
Thinking of this, Chu Yaqin couldn't help but sigh to herself, "Perhaps only a place with such a warm atmosphere is more suitable for Mu Liuyun."
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Sister-in-law, you're up? You slept for quite a long time!"
Chu Yaqin suddenly came to her senses and turned her head to look, only to see that Lin Fangyi had quietly come to her side at some point.
This Miss Lin was petite and delicate, almost the same height as Mu Liuyun. However, upon hearing the sweet address of "sister-in-law," Chu Yaqin's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she readily replied, "Second sister, good morning!"
Then, Lin Fangyi blinked her bright eyes and teased with a half-smile, "Well, it's certainly a good thing that you two are so close, but you have to take it easy, don't tire out our little Yun brother!"
After speaking, Lin Fangyi turned slightly to the side, gently stroking her fair and delicate cheek with one hand, while tightly hugging her slender shoulders with the other, looking somewhat worried.
Standing to the side, Chu Yaqin was an experienced person, so how could she not understand the deeper meaning in her words?
She couldn't help but smile bitterly and sigh twice: "Second sister, to be honest, in this respect, I am actually at a disadvantage."
Chu Yaqin shook her head gently, a helpless expression on her face.
These words stunned Lin Fangyi for a moment: "Oh my, I never expected that the seemingly gentle and weak little Yun would actually be able to make our dignified Chu family's eldest princess admit defeat. This is truly astonishing!"
Although surprised, Lin Fangyi wasn't thinking about that at the moment, so she quickly changed the subject and stopped dwelling on it.
"Yaqin, you should be well aware that you and the other two people are now all intricately connected to Xiaoyun's younger brother. How do you view this?"
When she got to this point, Lin Fangyi deliberately avoided using the term "sister-in-law".
After all, for scions of prominent families like theirs, having several lovers seems to be a common occurrence.
However, the three of them have always upheld sound values and could never bring themselves to do such a thing.
Take Liu Kun from the Liu family for example. He was notorious for his womanizing ways, and he was surrounded by many boyfriends, including several nuns.
Therefore, Lin Fangyi was somewhat worried that Mu Liuyun and these outstanding girls would ultimately end up with a cleaver.
Chu Yaqin gently shook her head and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Xiao Yun is a rare treasure bestowed upon me by heaven. I will never easily let go of a boy as charming as him, who is like a succubus. I believe the other two think the same way."
Then, she narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and continued with a hint of slyness: "So, my request is actually very simple and clear. When we have children in the future, some of them must take my surname, Chu. I think you, Second Sister, won't mind that."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fangyi frowned, thinking to herself that this was quite a bold request!
It wasn't that Lin Fangyi minded the child taking Chu Yaqin's surname, it was just...
Well... one or two is fine, but if you want a few, and she wants a few more, and she wants a few more, isn't that treating Xiaoyun's little brother like a donkey working hard in the production team? How could he possibly handle that!
Therefore, Lin Fangyi tried to be as tactful as possible and said, "Well, if Xiaoyun himself can accept this condition, then we naturally have nothing to say."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yaqin suddenly straightened up, put her hands on her hips, and loudly and confidently replied, "What's there to object to? I was the one who carried the baby for ten months, I was the one who endured the pain of childbirth, and I was even the one who was mainly responsible for exercise during my pregnancy."
Lin Fangyi's face instantly lit up with a look of sudden realization and understanding. She smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding and agreement. "Indeed, sister-in-law, I wish you a speedy delivery of your son!"
"Thank you for your care and blessings, Second Sister and Eldest Sister."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fangyi suddenly turned her head to look at a corner to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Big sister, stop hiding, people have already noticed you!"
Just then, Lin Hongmei gracefully emerged from around the corner. She first gave Lin Fangyi a reproachful glare, then fixed her gaze on Chu Yaqin.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."
It should be noted that for Lin Hongmei, who is currently temporarily in charge of the important position of head of the family, Mu Liuyun's love life is a very important and cannot be ignored.
After all, she had always been hoping that her suddenly returned younger brother could settle down, start a family, and have more children to carry on the family business.
This way, she can have more time to wholeheartedly accompany Lulu as she grows up.
...
As Chu Yaqin left, Mu Liuyun, who had been lazily lying in bed and refusing to get up, seemed to be injected with vitality. She quickly got out of bed, dressed, tidied her appearance, and prepared to step out of the room.
However, just as his hand touched the doorknob, a crisp and rhythmic knocking sounded suddenly.
"Big sister?"
The person standing outside the door was Lin Hongmei herself. Today, she looked completely different from her usual self: she was wearing a well-tailored and finely crafted business suit, making her look exceptionally neat, capable, and dashing.
The powerful aura emanating from within and the dignified presence unique to those in high positions naturally draw attention.
Lin Hongmei looks completely different from the gentle and kind older sister she usually is!
"Xiaoyun, would you be interested in visiting our Lin family's business?"
Lin Hongmei asked with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.
