Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "Second brother, there are many places to have fun in the capital now, such as children's playgrounds and parks. Could you spare one day a month to take the two kids out to play?"
Southwest was in a dilemma. His time was very tight. There were so many things to do at the furniture factory every day. He could usually spare one day a month, but now that Lily was pregnant, his time was even tighter.
"Nan Nan, I don't think it's possible. Lily is pregnant."
Yan Xiaonan frowned, not yet knowing how to speak, when Ye Chenming said, "Southwest, your wife is pregnant, so you don't have time to play with the child. After your wife gives birth, you'll have even less time to play with the child."
Yan Xiaonan nodded, she thought so too: "Second brother, by the time you have time to play with the child, the child will have grown up and won't need your company anymore."
“But now I… ” Southwest wanted to say something more.
Yan Xiaonan waved his hand, somewhat impatiently saying, "Second Brother, there's always more to do at the factory. You need to learn how to delegate; you don't have to do everything yourself."
Seeing that Nan Nan was a little unhappy, Xinan felt uneasy. He really didn't have time to play with the children. Besides, the children were all grown up and didn't need their parents to accompany them anymore. Just like himself and Bei Nan, they grew up wild in the village.
Ye Chenming quickly smoothed things over: "Nannan, your little sister seems hungry, let's go check on her."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. She knew that Southwest hadn't realized how important it was to interact with children, especially children from divorced families, who needed parental care even more, but Southwest hadn't taken it seriously.
Now that his new second sister-in-law is pregnant, Southwest is not taking the time to get close to the children. Once his child is born, he definitely won't have time to spend with Wujinban and the others. This will undoubtedly push the children further away.
Liu Lili walked over and greeted Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming with a smile: "Hello Nannan, hello Ye Chenming."
Yan Xiaonan smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, congratulations on your pregnancy."
Liu Lili unconsciously touched her belly, her face beaming with maternal joy: "I wonder if Southwest prefers a boy or a girl?"
Yan Xiaonan replied with a smile, "My family doesn't discriminate against girls. We love both baby boys and baby girls."
"I just went to see the twins, they're so beautiful! I really want to have twins too," Liu Lili said casually.
Yan Xiaonan smiled without saying a word, and Ye Chenming put his arm around Yan Xiaonan: "Beinan calls for dinner, let's go over."
Yan Xiaonan nodded and glanced at Liu Lili: "Second sister-in-law, it's open now, let's go together."
Liu Lili glanced at Southwest, who immediately reached out his arm, and Liu Lili happily took it.
Bei Nan stood up and said heartily, "We're all family today, so don't be shy, eat and drink to your heart's content!"
Southeast stood up, raised his glass and said, "North South, congratulations, brother! I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth."
Bei Nan quickly stood up, laughing so hard he couldn't speak, and poured the whole glass of wine into his mouth.
Southwest also stood up: "North South, Second Brother, congratulations to you too, and I wish you a son soon."
Bei Nan paused for a moment, then filled his glass to the brim and poured it into his mouth.
Shen Shaohua's face turned bright red. This Southwest guy, really! Today is a celebration of the restaurant's roof completion, how did he have to bring up having children?
Nan Nan also stood up: "Third Brother, I don't drink alcohol, so I'll toast you with tea instead, wishing your hotels can open all over the Xia Kingdom."
Bei Nan was excited. If they opened hotels all over the Xia Kingdom, how many hotels would that be?
"Nan Nan, I appreciate your kind words. If Third Brother's hotels can open all over Xia Country, I'll give half of them to your two babies in the future."
Ye Chenming didn't accept this offer: "My baby doesn't want it. You should have a baby soon, and then give it all to your child."
Both the North and South are bewildered. What's wrong with this world? How come we can't even send money away anymore?
Ye Ren's cheeks ached from laughing so much. This Bei Nan was really generous. Xia Guo was so big, and giving away half of the hotels was such a huge business. Even if you don't care, how could your child not care?
“Bei Nan, don’t say things that are detrimental to unity in the future, you know? Everyone says you’re even dumber than a roe deer, and they’re right,” Grandma Yan said.
Bei Nan was even more confused: "Grandma, please don't wrong me. When did I say anything that was detrimental to unity?"
Shen Shaohua pulled Bei Nan down: "You've had too much to drink, haven't you? You're not even listening to your mother anymore."
Bei Nan looked around at the people around her and suddenly felt uncomfortable. Why did everyone look at her with such a profound gaze?
Southwest looked at North South with complicated feelings. The two had grown up together since childhood, but North South had built her own hotel through her own abilities, while he had only opened this furniture factory for her because of South South's kindness.
Fortunately, I did not let Nan Nan down and managed the furniture factory well, and the business was very prosperous.
Yan Xiaonan glanced at Southwest and finally spoke up, "Second Brother, how's the design department at the furniture factory doing these days?"
Southwest frowned. These people could design some furniture styles, but they were still far inferior to the blueprints that Nan Nan had brought out.
"Nan Nan, their design concept isn't as good as yours, so..."
"Second brother, do you know that Wu Jin Ban really likes to play with wood?"
Southwest glanced at Wu Jinban and nodded. This kid has talent in this area.
“I want to send Wu Jinban to study abroad after he graduates from high school, so that he can systematically learn design. Second brother, do you agree?” Yan Xiaonan asked.
Southwest was stunned—no, everyone was stunned, except for Ye Ren and his group.
Ye Chenming gave Yan Xiaonan an approving look. A company cannot do without talent, and talent must be cultivated from a young age in order to make the company successful and large.
Wu Jinban immediately stood up: "Auntie, I am willing to learn. I want to learn skills so that I can design the most beautiful furniture in the world in the future."
Yan Xiaonan nodded: "Auntie believes in you, but you need to start learning English properly now, because English is spoken in many places abroad. If your language skills are not good enough, you won't be able to understand what people are saying in class."
Five-and-a-half looked a little unwell. Of all the subjects, English was his weakest. But where there's a will, there's a way. Five-and-a-half clenched his little fists.
Southwest stood up: "Nannan, thank you. I will try my best to save money and send Wujinban abroad to study when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaonan frowned slightly. Ye Chenming gently nudged Yan Xiaonan, signaling her not to worry. If Southwest was really willing to give Wu Jinban money, it would only benefit their father-son relationship.
Yan Xiaoqiang sipped his wine with a cheerful smile. Now his children's children were about to make something of themselves, and life was full of hope.
