"Alright."
As soon as Song Yue finished giving instructions, his assistant swiftly got into action, and within ten minutes, arrived at the office with the necessary items.
To avoid Ning Xuan disturbing other employees’ work, Song Yue brought her into his office.
He took the bag of items the assistant had purchased, prepared some hot water, then handed it to Ning Xuan to drink.
After taking the medicine and drinking the hot water, Ning Xuan was feeling much better, so she closed her eyes to take a rest.
Watching Ning Xuan, Song Yue took out a fever patch from the bag, tore open the packaging, and placed it on Ning Xuan’s forehead.
His well-defined hand smoothed over the patch on Ning Xuan’s forehead.
As he watched, Song Yue swallowed a few times before mustering the courage to speak.
"Can’t you be a little more ambitious?"
"Be bold and take me, then my savings of several hundred million are all yours."
"..."
"What I mean is, do you want to be with me?"
"..."
"..."
...
Song Yue confessed his feelings in March, was rejected on the same day, but persistently courted her until June. Then one night, after they officially became a couple, Song Yue told all his friends and relatives.
Yu Ting was among the first to get the news from Ning Xuan and responded with surprise: "I can’t believe you two made it."
Over the phone, Ning Xuan laughed somewhat coyly: "I didn’t expect it either, but he confessed, and even after being rejected, he did a lot."
As Ning Xuan spoke, she reminisced about the last three months and realized that Song Yue had always treated her well.
"He’s a good man, Nanchen mentioned him to me. He’s still single, you should treat him well," Yu Ting said, munching on some seeds while sitting on the sofa. A few feet away, Lu Nanchen watched Lu Siyu walk around. The chubby toddler staggered across the soft cushion, his balance unsteady.
Lu Siyu turned towards his mother saying, "Mommy, hold me, I’m tired."
Halfway across, Lu Nanchen’s hand stopped him: "Don’t interrupt mommy’s phone call; we can talk later."
Lu Siyu looked up at his father’s stern face, and after bumping his head a few times, plopped down on the spot.
Lu Nanchen looked at Lu Siyu, who barely reached his knees when sitting, and offered, "If you can’t wait, I can hold you."
"..."
Lu Siyu ignored Lu Nanchen. After a few glances, Lu Nanchen saw no problem with it and sat on the sofa nearby, watching him quietly.
As long as he’s alive and unhurt, it’s fine.
The father and son remained at an impasse, while Yu Ting’s phone conversation continued. Ning Xuan’s emotional voice came through: "And here he is, frail as ever, isn’t he afraid I’ll beat him up?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"You’ve got him completely under your thumb," Yu Ting quipped. "Love is indeed a magical thing."
"Isn’t it... you’re absolutely right."
"What do you like about him?"
"Like... there’s a lot I like. His appearance is charming, his business acumen is strong, and aside from a sharp tongue, he’s reliable and treats me well," Ning Xuan said, relaxing as she spoke and swinging her legs back and forth.
"My mom also says a man like that is a keeper."

The impatient Song Yue proposed at the end of the year, and by next spring, Ning Xuan was pregnant. She often had afternoon tea with Yu Ting, chatting and watching TV shows.
She was due in winter.
They had a daughter, named: Song Ying.
