Di Jinghan nodded excitedly: "That's right, my brother sent word that my sister-in-law gave birth to a little nephew. He must be a smart and adorable child!"
Li Yannian smiled knowingly, looking at her radiant smile. So she liked children. He thought it would be wonderful if they could have one too.
